Volume 2, Chapter 259: Be good and call me big brother.
Suburban woods.
summer.
The sound of cicadas.
By the bank of a stream, a little girl, holding up her skirt, walked barefoot in the stream, laughing from time to time, scaring the fish away.
Ye Tingmu quietly appeared from the corner of the dense forest.
Baili Qianqiu jumped down from the tree top, with the corners of his mouth curled up and a smile on his face.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Ye Tingmu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Of course, Qianqiu, you've grown taller." After saying that, he examined her with his small eyes, clicked his tongue, and continued, "It's just that your cultivation is too slow, so you can become a saint. You have to work hard, brother is already an immortal."
Baili Qianqiu was at a loss for words when he heard this. He shrugged helplessly, "I'm just a mortal. There's no comparison with a pervert like you."
Baili Jianhan also walked out from the side and looked at Ye Tingmu with a smile. Looking closely, he could even feel the strong immortal energy in Ye Tingmu's body.
"I didn't expect you to break through to the Immortal Realm so quickly. Even I can't beat you."
"It seems you couldn't beat him before."
Baili Jianhan was stunned, it seemed to be true.
The three of them exchanged a few pleasantries, and the conversations between the teenagers were mostly just banter, without too many sentimental scenes.
"Where's Qiqi? I haven't seen her for three years. She must have grown up."
Baili Qianqiu pursed his lips and looked towards the stream not far away, "Here, it is."
"Qiqi, come here quickly."
Hearing Baili Jianhan's call, Qiqi left the stream and ran over.
Ye Tingmu looked up, and the face that came into his sight came straight into his mind.
He was stunned.
"Qiqi is here~ go for it." The tender child's voice is full of vitality, echoing in my ears, and a small figure comes for an outing.
Ye Tingmu did not move from beginning to end.
Qiqi walked in front of Baili Jianhan, raised her head, squinted her eyes, and smiled very sweetly.
"Qiqi, this is your brother, the one who named you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiqi tilted her head, her eyes bright and rolling around.
She was filled with curiosity. She was three years old and had asked more than once why she was different from her brothers and did not have the last name Baili.
Brother Qianqiu and Brother Jianhan said that the person who gave her the name was someone else, and they rarely mentioned that person.
She had always been curious about what kind of person he would be, but when she saw him today, she was far from expecting it, because she had just seen Ye Tingmu in front of her at noon.
But there was something different. If I had to say what was different, it was that the boy in front of me looked at me with a strange look.
At this moment, Ye Tingmu was confused and shocked.
It’s so similar, really so similar, exactly the same as when I watched chess when I was a child. Memories flooded into my mind and my thoughts were endless.
If I had to find one difference in my memory, it would be those eyes.
Both of them have big eyes, but the girl's pupils are lighter in color, but her eyes are very bright.
If the eyes of a chess player are like the moon, then Qiqi's eyes are as bright as stars.
There is tenderness in one person's eyes, and innocence in the other person's eyes.
He was very sure that the Qiqi in front of him was not watching chess, but his appearance looked very much like someone watching chess.
His Adam's apple moved slightly, and the expression in his eyes kept changing, becoming extremely complex.
Qiqi said sweetly, with her hands behind her back, "I've seen you before. You're the older brother of that tricking old man."
This one sentence brought Ye Tingmu's thoughts back to reality.
Baili Qianqiu burst into laughter, "Qiqi, how could you be so honest?"
Baili Jianhan couldn't help but hold his forehead.
It's really shocking, but it seems that from her perspective, there is nothing wrong with this understanding.
There was a faint smile on Ye Tingmu's lips, and an unnatural look of doting appeared in his eyes.
He slowly squatted down with the coffin covered with black cloth on his back, making himself level with Ye Qiqi in front of him.
Then he stretched out his medium-sized hand.
Gently rubbed the head of the little guy in front of him.
Ye Qiqi didn't know why, but when she felt the light in the boy's eyes, she surprisingly had no intention of hiding.
The moment the palm fell, an inexplicable sense of security arose spontaneously. There was no reason and no explanation. For a three-year-old child, these were not important.
As long as it feels right, that's it.
"Be good and call me big brother."
"Can you not scream?"
Ye Tingmu frowned and asked in confusion: "Why?"
Ye Qiqi's three-year-old face was filled with seriousness. "Well... because you don't look like a good person, you can fool the old man."
"Puchi...nonsense, I did that because those old guys were bad." Ye Tingmu said with a smile.
"I see. They're all bad old men, aren't they?"
"Yes, Qiqi is really smart."
"Hehe, actually I knew it a long time ago. Isn't that awesome?" Ye Qiqi was very proud.
Ye Tingmu quickly acted, "That's great."
"That's right. Actually, I don't think you are a bad person, right?"
"How do you know?"
"Because you are good-looking, just like me, good-looking people tend to have good character." She touched her chin, looking a bit old-fashioned, cute but a little funny.
Ye Tingmu was speechless. Although the words were nice, the idea was not a good one. He still agreed more with what that fucking person said, that good-looking people are the most deceptive.
However, when it comes to dealing with children, Ye Tingmu is always professional.
"It seems that Qiqi is not only smart, but also has a good eye for people. However, I'm very curious, who told you that good-looking people are not bad people?" This is the key point. He wants to see whether Baili Qianqiu has led his sister astray. If so, he must correct it in time.
Ye Qiqi covered her mouth and chuckled, "Brother Green Coffin, have you never read a book? Appearance is determined by the heart. Good looks come from a kind heart."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tingmu's lips twitched slightly. This explanation was really amazing, and his understanding of these words was really unique.
However, what surprised him was that the child was so smart at the age of three. It seemed that she was talented and, like Guanqi, had the potential to be a talented girl.
He ignored the Baili brothers and walked in the woods with Ye Qiqi, chatting about many topics.
Being with her made him feel that Guanqi was right beside him, and that Guanqi was a talking Guanqi.
Ye Qiqi also liked chatting with Ye Tingmu in front of her, because many of the things she said were very interesting, such as where light comes from and why green leaves are green.
Looking at Ye Qiqi, who was often amused by Ye Tingmu and bent over with laughter, Bai Li Qianqiu curled his lips and said, "Well, this kid has been raised in vain."
Baili Jianhan crossed his arms and glanced at him, "Shouldn't I be the one saying this?"
"You and I are brothers, who is following who?"
Fate is something that is destined. After not seeing each other for three years, Ye Qiqi accepted Ye Tingmu after just a moment of meeting. Her address also changed from "fool old man" in the beginning to brother with green coffin, and now to big brother.
Ye Tingmu looked at the little guy in front of him and liked him more and more.
The little guy is as good-looking as Guanqi and as smart as Guanqi, but he is much cuter and funnier than Jinghong.
At the age of three, her words were as shocking as those of that year.
And like Qingfeng, he is a chatterbox who always has a lot to say, "chirp chirp."
