To uphold world justice, for love and peace, and most importantly, for my second brother by the Daming Lake, this little cutie will have to put up a low posture for a bit.

Ah, what a tolerant and adorable little girl she is! The little girl nodded her fluffy head proudly.

The little girl's sensible appearance dispelled the bitterness that had been welling up in Helian Ci's heart, replaced by a gentle warmth.

He gently patted the little girl's head, his hoarse voice low and soft, overflowing with affection.

"Second Brother has no reason not to like Sisi." How could he possibly dislike his little coward?

"Really? Second Brother didn't lie to Sisi!"

Sisi was a little skeptical, so she clung to Helian Ci and refused to get down, gently rubbing her little face against Helian Ci's cheek, being incredibly affectionate and clingy.

"I won't lie to Sisi."

The little girl's affectionate gesture made Helian Ci's lips curl into a smile, and he chuckled softly. The last trace of annoyance in his dark eyes dissipated.

"Then Sisi will go to school now~"

Sisi rubbed her little face against Helian Ci's cheek again, her soft and sweet voice melting one's heart.

"Alright, remember to think of your second brother, hmm?"

Helian Ci gently touched the little girl's forehead with his own, his sickly pale face filled with a doting and tender smile.

"Yes, yes, Sisi has put Second Brother in Sisi's heart."

Sisi patted her chubby little hands, looking quite serious.

Her bright eyes were filled with tiny, sparkling starlight, and within that starlight was Helian Ci's reflection.

Helian Ci's smile deepened as he put the little girl down and adjusted her cute pink cloth bag.

"Go."

Sisi, with her short legs, ran halfway before turning back to wave at Helian Ci. She then saw her second brother smiling at her by the Daming Lake.

Only then did Sisi turn around contentedly, clutching her cute little cloth bag, dangling the two little pigtails on her head, and running towards the carriage parked at the palace gate.

Hey hey hey, today is another day full of energy!

Only after the carriage disappeared from sight did Helian Ci withdraw his gaze, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, casting a shadow.

"Little Quanzi, push me to Father Emperor's Sleeping Dragon Palace."

**

Inside the Imperial College, the classrooms echoed with the clear voices of young students reciting their lessons; outside, the autumn wind rustled through the leaves.

Sisi lay on her small desk, her grape-like, watery eyes fixed on a little oriole chirping on a tree trunk outside the window.

On its fluffy little head, two little tufts stick up, and when the wind blows in, the little tufts of hair sway back and forth.

Little Helian You held the book in his little hands, listening attentively, his little mouth repeating after him, his tender childish voice soft and sweet.

He would occasionally glance at the little girl slumped over her desk, then look away and return to his book, engrossed in reading.

Although the little princess often daydreams, she always answers the teacher's questions correctly, while I can't.

In order not to be the dumbest child, I must listen carefully in class and not hold my little princess back.

"Knock knock knock—"

The bell rang, signaling the end of class. The little girl, who had been slumped over her desk as if a pause button had been pressed,

His grape-like, moist eyes lit up instantly, and his little back straightened up perfectly, looking incredibly energetic.
