"Let me tell you, my sister was so cool just now!"
Upon meeting his brothers from the Li family, the seventh brother, Li Mujun, couldn't wait to tell them about Xiao Yanbao's rejection of Ye Ming.
Li Mujun was genuinely pleased that her younger sister had bravely done what she wanted to do.
As it turns out, I'll have to stick with my sister from now on!
The eldest brother, Li Muxing, unconsciously reached out and patted Xiao Yanbao's head, his eyes crinkling with a smile as he said:
“Our sister is the darling of the entire Li family. Even if she argues with Ye Ming, it doesn’t matter! That little guy is clearly a kindergarten toddler, yet we have to call him grandpa!”
Li Muxing snorted, clearly unconvinced. After all, he was already a high school student and about to become an adult. It was absurd for him to have to call a kindergarten kid "grandpa"!
The second brother, Li Muchen, said even more indignantly, "Hmph! If it weren't for giving face to our grandfather, I wouldn't have called that brat 'grandfather'!"
Upon hearing this, Li Muhao, the third brother standing next to Li Muchen, exposed the truth without hesitation:
"Second brother, you weren't like this just now. When we greeted Ye Ming together, you called out to Grandpa quite loudly."
Upon hearing this, Li Muchen's face darkened instantly, and his gaze toward the third brother became a death stare, as if he wished he could strangle him.
Fourth Brother Li Muhan suppressed a laugh and said to Third Brother Li Muhao in a serious tone:
"Third Brother, don't always expose Second Brother! Second Brother is just more afraid of Grandpa than we are. What did Second Brother do wrong?"
Then, the two exchanged a glance and took off running.
Li Muchen raised his fist and began to chase after them.
Those two brats, they're always getting on the roof and tearing off tiles if I don't discipline them for three days straight! They're really asking for it!
Fifth Brother Li Mufeng's gaze fell on Xiao Yanbao, and after admiring him for a moment, he praised him sincerely:
"Yanbao looks so beautiful in her dress today! She looks like a princess who stepped out of a fairy tale."
Sixth Brother Li Mushen nodded in complete agreement and echoed, "Our Yanbao is a true princess, a princess of the Li family!"
Seventh Sister Li Mujun suddenly became proud and boastful: "My mom prepared so many princess dresses for Yanbao! Every single one is so beautiful!"
Hearing her brothers' praise, Xiao Yanbao gently lifted her skirt with her two little hands again, bowed to her brothers, and asked in her childish voice:
"Brothers, what game are we going to play later?"
The banquet has already begun, and the adults in the banquet hall seem to be having a great time.
These little kids should start playing too.
Upon hearing their sister's words, the brothers all began to think seriously—
What kind of games can everyone participate in and also be very fun?
Eagle catching chicks? Drop the handkerchief?
Suddenly, Xiao Yanbao had an idea, and his eyes lit up as he looked at the older brothers present and said:
"Brothers, shall we play hide-and-seek?"
The eldest brother, Li Muxing, immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay! Whatever Yanbao wants to play, we'll play!"
Fifth Brother Li Mufeng also cooperated: "I haven't played hide-and-seek in a long time, and I'd like to play it again."
Sixth Brother Li Mushen nodded in agreement like he was pounding garlic: "Me too, me too..."
Seventh Brother Li Mujun turned her gaze to her second brother Li Muchen, third brother Li Muhao, and fourth brother Li Muhan, who were still making a ruckus nearby, and pouted helplessly:
"I'll go and catch those three guys who are still chasing and playing around, then we'll play hide-and-seek with my sister!"
Then he ran over and brought back his three troublesome older brothers to play games with Xiao Yanbao.
Although the second brother, Li Muchen, still had a somewhat awkward attitude towards the little boy, it had improved significantly compared to before. After all, he was very afraid of the family rules established by the Li family patriarch!
Although he kept complaining that the hide-and-seek game was boring, his actions betrayed his true feelings and he joined in.
The game of hide-and-seek begins.
They decided who would hide and who would find by playing rock-paper-scissors.
In the first round, Li Muchen, the second oldest, lost to everyone in rock-paper-scissors, so he became the one responsible for finding all the hidden big guys.
Li Muchen seemed to have sharp eyes; he found everyone in less than five minutes, making the originally simple game of hide-and-seek much more challenging.
Everyone started racking their brains to figure out where to hide it so that it wouldn't be easily found.
In the second round, Li Muchen lost again and was responsible for finding the missing items.
He was still incredibly fast at finding people, as if he had installed cameras on everyone.
Even the eldest brother, Li Muxing, couldn't help but complain: "With the second brother's investigative abilities, it would be such a waste if he didn't become a policeman to catch bad guys in the future!"
Unexpectedly, a single, unintentional remark planted a small seed deep within Li Muchen's heart.
In the third round, Li Muchen lost rock-paper-scissors again and was responsible for finding all the hidden people.
The eldest brother, Li Muxing, was speechless with emotion.
The third brother, Li Muhao, complained in exasperation, "This is never going to end! Second brother, how come your rock-paper-scissors skills are so bad? Can't you win a single round?"
The fourth sister, Li Muhan, also shrugged helplessly: "This is the first time I've felt that hide-and-seek is so boring. It's over before it even starts. It's so tedious!"
The fifth brother, Li Mufeng, was ready to give up on the game completely and said, "I'm starving! Can I go get something to eat first?"
The sixth brother, Li Mushen, collapsed to the ground, not wanting to move at all. "Let's just start over! Anyway, Second Brother will find us in no more than ten minutes."
The seventh sister, Li Mujun, also slumped to the ground, starting her "lazy" mode: "I'm too lazy to hide anymore."
Seeing that his older brothers had collectively lost interest in continuing the game, Xiao Yanbao thought for a moment and then hurriedly spoke in his childish voice:
"Don't be discouraged, brothers! Yan Yan has thought of a good hiding place that won't be easy for your second brother to find!"
As he spoke, the little boy waved to his brothers, except for his second brother, Li Muchen.
The older brothers immediately got up and moved closer to the little boy, listening to him whisper something to them.
The older brothers' faces instantly lit up with expressions of sudden realization—
Under normal circumstances, Li Muchen would not be able to find the place his sister mentioned, because given his personality, he would never go there!
That's a good idea!
Seeing the reactions of his older brother and younger brothers, Li Muchen was completely bewildered, his curiosity thoroughly piqued.
What exactly did that little girl say to them?
What kind of place is it that he can't find?
In an instant, Li Muchen's fighting spirit was also ignited. Playing games was one of his strengths, whether it was computer games, mobile games, or hide-and-seek...
He refused to believe he couldn't find those guys who could never hide properly within ten minutes!
