"Third brother, do you think second brother will find us?"
Little Yanbao sat on the soft carpet in the piano room, curling her legs up and hugging them tightly with her arms. She turned her little head to look at her third brother, Li Muhao, who was sitting next to her in the same position, and asked in her childish voice.
Li Muhao said with great certainty, "Under normal circumstances, it is unlikely that he will find us, because this library is a forbidden place for my second brother. Unless Grandpa gives him an order, he will never come here!"
In any case, in Li Muhao's memory, his second brother, Li Muchen, had almost never been to this library.
The only time he came in was because the old man gave him an order. His second brother had caused trouble at school and was ordered to go home and reflect on his actions for a week. So, in a fit of anger, the old man ordered Li Muchen to clean the library for a week.
As a result, Li Muchen, who already disliked being near the library, became even more hesitant to go near this place.
Li Muhao figured that even if his second brother knew that all of them had hidden in this building, he probably wouldn't come in to look for them.
I'd rather lose the game than step into my forbidden territory.
"Why is this a forbidden place in my second brother's heart?"
Xiao Yanbao frowned slightly, clearly not quite understanding.
"Yan Yan thinks this place is pretty good."
As she spoke, she looked up at the surroundings. This piano room alone was exceptionally well-designed and decorated, magnificent and luxurious.
Although the music room has been unused for many years, it is very clean and tidy, as if it is cleaned every day.
This antique piano, which hasn't been played in a long time, looks like it's just been maintained. Although it's an old object, it doesn't have a hint of decay or decay.
Little Yanbao couldn't help but feel curious—
Who in the Li family manor could own such a beautiful piano room?
Hearing the little boy's question, Li Muhao just chuckled and said:
"Because my second brother gets a headache whenever he sees books. There are so many books in the library. If he came here, wouldn't he have a splitting headache, a headache that would make him want to die?"
Li Muhao seemed somewhat helpless as he shrugged and continued to complain:
"So my second brother has blacklisted this library in his life since he was a child."
They've all been blacklisted in my life.
It sounded very serious, and a look of worry crept into the little boy's eyes. He then asked Li Muhao:
"What will happen to my second brother if he can't find us?"
He won't just give up completely and stop looking for a partner, will he?
Li Muhao chuckled, seemingly already imagining some interesting scene, and said confidently:
"He'll probably look like a monkey, scratching his head in frustration!"
Hearing her third brother's words, Xiao Yanbao could picture it, and she couldn't help but laugh along.
As the brother and sister chatted and laughed, they didn't notice that a shadow had suddenly appeared in the piano room, which had been locked from the inside. The shadow fell on the soft carpet and gradually deepened.
The shadow was stealthily approaching them, little by little...
On the other side, just as they had guessed, Li Muchen had searched everywhere except the library, but had not seen a single person.
He began to feel anxious without realizing it, and he was already showing signs of scratching his head and cheeks.
"Where did those guys hide this time? We can't find them anywhere!"
Just as Li Muchen was feeling lost and confused, he saw Ye Ming carrying a little white kitten walking towards him from not far away, and couldn't help but ask him:
"Um... have you seen our children?"
Because of Ye Ming's seniority, Li Muchen spoke to him with a relatively polite attitude.
But he didn't call him "Grandpa," because Ye Ming was too young, and it was really hard to say it.
Upon hearing Li Muchen's voice, Ye Ming stopped in his tracks and asked in a daze:
Are you talking to me?
Seeing that he was asking a question he already knew the answer to, Li Muchen clicked his tongue impatiently and said, "Nonsense, if I don't talk to you, who else can I talk to? It's just the two of us here, there's no one else around."
"That's not necessarily true."
Ye Ming responded, a strange smile suddenly curving his lips, which looked somewhat frightening against the backdrop of the night.
"..."
Li Muchen was somewhat startled and couldn't help but speak irritably: "What's wrong with you all? Why are you all acting so strangely? Can't you just talk properly?"
First it was their fourth uncle, then that little brat Li Xinyan, and now Ye Ming, who is younger than them but has a higher seniority, has arrived.
When they spoke, each one of them was stranger than the last, more cryptic than the last, and more frightening than the last.
Having experienced the Ghost Festival incident, Li Muchen couldn't help but recall the fear of being controlled by ghosts that night.
Seemingly dissatisfied with Li Muchen's attitude, Ye Ming frowned slightly, his expression becoming somewhat serious.
"So this is how you talk to your elders?"
"You... a little kid... an elder?"
Li Muchen scoffed at this completely. If it weren't for the old man's authority, he wouldn't have acknowledged this little brat as his grandfather!
Ye Ming chuckled and said, "If you're not convinced, we can go and argue with your father."
Li Muchen became even more annoyed and pointed at Ye Ming's nose, saying, "I'm warning you, don't try to use my father to pressure me. I won't fall for that!"
