"What did you lie to her about?"
When Li Yao heard this, he thought carefully about the few short sentences he had said from beginning to end, and could not find any way to deceive her.
He concluded: "I didn't lie to her."
"But...we're supposed to be back in seven days, right?"
Little Li Yao sat on the bed, his ears perked up, "Did Daddy say he wanted to take you out to play?"
"No, he told you?" Li Yao glanced at him sideways, "He won't still want to stay with mom, will he?"
"No..." Little Li Yao shook his head, "He didn't tell me, I guessed."
"I didn't tell you, what is the basis of your guess?"
"Well... doesn't he like playing with us very much?" Little Li Yao was very proud. His father liked them and liked to be with them.
Li Yao saw what was expressed on his face. How should he tell him? Actually, he felt that Caius seemed happier when he was not with them.
After all, there is no need to worry.
Forget it, let’s not discourage this innocent child.
"I said it would be about ten days, but I haven't confirmed it yet, so it doesn't count as lying to her." If he really goes back early, he can have a good rest and a quiet rest for those three days.
"...Oh." Little Li Yao nodded, "Then...will Daddy still take us out to play?"
"Why don't you want to be with Mom?"
"I miss you so much, but... Mom needs to rest. I heard from Brother Rufeng that Mom wants to be alone."
Have you ever thought that your dad also wants to be alone?
No.
Little Li Yao was laughing so hard that he rolled around on the bed. "We can think about where to go for fun."
"I heard from Brother Rufeng that he saw a very tall and pointed tower, and also a leaning tower. We can ask Dad to take us there..."
Although his ability to express himself verbally is quite strong, it is still rare for him to speak such a long sentence. This is enough to show that he is thinking seriously about where to go for fun.
I didn't see him having this intention when he was learning arithmetic.
Li Yao was silent for two seconds, "Brother Rufeng? When did he tell you so much?"
"It's when you're taking a shower!" Little Li Yao touched his face. "Brother Rufeng is amazing. He's been to many places."
"Then maybe you should look at your dad. He's been to a lot of places, too."
There was originally only two of them in the room, but the voice of a third person appeared.
Little Li Yao looked up in surprise, "Dad!"
"It's no use calling daddy, kids. It's very late now. Your mother asked me to come and tell you that it's time to go to bed."
Caius folded his arms across his chest, leaning against the door frame, showing no intention of coming in.
He came to remind the children to go to bed early and didn't want to stay to chat.
"I know, I know! Go to sleep." Little Li Yao jumped off the bed, muttering to himself as he returned to his own bed. After lying down, he politely said, "Good night, Dad."
"Good night."
After saying that, Caius turned his gaze to Li Yao again, "Good night to you too, darling."
Li Yao glanced at him and whispered, "Good night."
The room suddenly became dark. Caius turned off the light, then quietly closed the door and walked out. He had something else to do.
Yu Rufeng thought that his uncle was the kind of person who went to bed early and got up early to have better skin, but in reality, his uncle was still not asleep at 11 o'clock in the evening.
Ran out to feed the mosquitoes.
Oh no, I ran out to look at the stars.
It's strange to say, he and Li Qiao were sitting outside together, but the mosquitoes only bit him. It was really unlucky. But if you think about it from another angle, it's not a bad thing. If the mosquitoes only bit him, then they wouldn't bite Li Qiao.
He liked Li Qiao's quietness, just like he liked Li Yao's quietness, but when facing Li Yao, he would say some teasing words to amuse the child, but when facing Li Qiao, he didn't dare to do that, mainly because he was worried that Li Qiao would slap him to the ground.
It's quite comfortable not to talk, a good feeling, which allows even a jumpy and restless person like him to calm down and think about things.
How should I put it, Li Qiao acts like a library. When I’m with her, I’ll be very serious and want to... study.
For now, he only found that this effect was effective on him, but it seemed to have a special effect on Yao Mo as well, a kind of... "motivational effect", which made him work harder and harder to become the king of kings.
"Hey, who's that?"
Caius was startled and subconsciously moved closer to Li Qiao to protect him, thank you.
But when Li Qiao's calm eyes looked at him, he chuckled twice, patted his chest and said, "I'm not afraid. I will protect you."
Li Qiao pushed him away, looked behind him, and then stood up.
"Eh? Where are you going?"
The two of them are now on the rooftop, a very high rooftop where no one usually goes. Caius doesn't know why Li Qiao came here, but he believes that she must have her reasons.
Who is the one who comes to the rooftop in the middle of the night?
Caius followed and, together with Li Qiao, they made eye contact with someone. The gazes of several pairs of eyes met, and no one spoke for a moment.
"What are you doing here?"
Li Qiao said this in a rather unpleasant tone. The person opposite was actually Li Ci, the one in pajamas.
Just now, the two of them were blocked by several large pots of green plants, and Li Ci didn't realize that there was someone else here besides him.
However, he appeared here sneakily in the middle of the night, and it looked like he was doing something bad.
"I...I just came here to get some fresh air."
He stuttered, not knowing what was going on, and couldn't even say a complete sentence to Li Qiao. He refused to admit it and was actually afraid of Li Qiao's eyes.
Li Qiao glanced at him expressionlessly and said, "Go back, there's air conditioning."
"...Oh." He turned around quickly, slapping himself in the face in his heart. Why are you so cowardly? Just go up and do it! She is your sister, where is your dignity as a brother?
What he was thinking didn't affect his quick steps. He disappeared in the blink of an eye. Well, he was going downstairs to sleep, and maybe he would turn on the air conditioner to get some fresh air.
"He...what's wrong?"
Caius asked with difficulty.
Li Qiao clapped his hands. "Who knows? His brain is not very good. He is stupid and easy to be taken advantage of."
She must know!
Caius shouted in his heart, but nodded with a look of understanding, agreeing, "You're right, he is indeed like that."
"Well, that's good. We can go to bed now." Li Qiao said as he was about to leave.
Caius was filled with questions. He was leaving just like that?
At the moment before leaving, Li Qiao suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "By the way, don't forget to apply some floral water when you go back."
