Li Muchen frowned slightly, his expression becoming serious.
He seemed to gradually sort out his thoughts and finally understood why his fourth uncle was talking nonsense and rambling to himself every day.
Actually, the fact that Uncle Si could see the unlucky ghost that they couldn't wasn't him talking to thin air, but rather he was talking to the unlucky ghost that was leaning over him.
Now all the strange phenomena can be explained.
"Yes! It's because of that unlucky guy that Fourth Uncle is so unlucky."
Xiao Xinyan nodded vigorously, like someone pounding garlic, and said in her childish voice:
"However, Uncle Si's luck has improved a lot recently, and he looks radiant and very handsome!"
Upon hearing this, Li Muchen, who hadn't returned to the Li family manor for many days, couldn't help but ask, "Why did he suddenly stop having bad luck?"
He was unaware that his fourth uncle, Li Qichen, was no longer as unlucky as before.
"Because the bad luck left him!"
The little dumpling responded crisply, then, as if remembering something, she lowered her head and said with a strange sense of shame:
"Second brother, I'm sorry, the unlucky ghost went to find aunt after it left Fourth Uncle's body."
In retrospect, it was with her help that the unlucky ghost was able to leave Fourth Uncle. If the unlucky ghost had continued to pester Fourth Uncle, Aunt wouldn't have been slapped with the black handprint and become unlucky as well.
But if the unlucky guy keeps bothering Uncle Si, then Uncle Si will be the one who continues to suffer bad luck.
Both her children are her flesh and blood, and Xiao Xinyan doesn't know what to do to ensure that all her family members are safe and well.
"So when you told my mom to avoid bad luck, you were reminding her?"
Li Muchen finally understood, and a hint of surprise flickered in his slightly darting eyes.
Could it be... that he has been misunderstanding this little dumpling in front of him all along?
Hearing her second brother's question, the little boy nodded obediently and said, "Yes, Yan Yan is just reminding Auntie to be more careful, because she's worried that she might have all sorts of bad luck like Fourth Uncle."
However, her plan backfired, leading her aunt to mistakenly believe that she was cursing her, which caused her to leave the Li family manor and get into a car accident.
Xiao Xinyan felt guilty, always feeling that she was somewhat responsible for all of this.
Li Muchen, however, pursed his lips and remained silent.
His brow was furrowed, as if he were deep in thought.
The little boy tilted his head and stared at him for a long time, no one knew what he was thinking...
Originally, Xiao Xinyan thought that after experiencing something special with her second brother, their relationship would improve.
At least her second brother should have realized that she wasn't talking nonsense, nor was she maliciously cursing anyone.
She thought her second brother would change his opinion of her.
But when they met again the next morning, Li Muchen's attitude remained cold. He didn't even bother to give her a second glance as he passed by.
Xiao Xinyan immediately became a little angry.
How could they ignore their own savior!
Hmph! Second brother ignores Yan Yan, and Yan Yan ignores second brother too!
So the little baby sat on the sofa with a big bottle of freshly prepared formula in his hands and started slurping it down.
Milk can drown sorrows and relieve worries!
Just then, the eldest brother, Li Muxing, walked over and saw the little dumpling sitting on the sofa. His gaze instantly softened and became affectionate. He walked straight over and sat down next to his sister.
Li Muxing naturally reached out and gently patted the little boy's head, saying softly, "Yanbao, drink lots of milk so you can grow tall!"
Seemingly pleased by the head pats, Xiao Xinyan unconsciously shrank her head and squinted her eyes, looking like a lazy kitten.
"Don't worry, big brother, Yanbao knows! Yanbao will drink lots of milk and grow tall so he can protect his brothers!"
Little Xinyan, sucking on her pacifier, gave her older brother a sweet smile, innocent and full of energy.
Her large eyes were glistening with moisture, clear and pure.
Li Muxing seemed to be infected by her smile, and her eyes crinkled as she smiled and said:
"You little rascal! Your brothers can protect themselves, they don't need your protection. On the contrary, you need your brothers' protection, because you are their only sister!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Muxing saw Li Muchen walking towards her from the direction of the kitchen carrying a bottle of drink, and deliberately said to him:
"Second brother, what do you think? As the older brothers, shouldn't we protect our younger siblings?"
Li Muchen: "..."
His face was dark and gloomy, and his heart was filled with complex emotions.
As the older brother, he has never done anything to protect Xiao Xinyan, but he has been protected by Xiao Xinyan.
If it weren't for Xiao Xinyan's timely rescue, he probably would have died last night.
But he never wanted his older and younger brothers to know about this.
That's a huge loss of dignity for a man!
That's so embarrassing!
"Yan Yan doesn't need her second brother's protection!"
The little boy gave Li Muchen a loud snort, expressing his pride in a very arrogant manner.
"..."
Li Muchen froze on the spot, speechless and exasperated.
This was the first time Li Muxing had ever seen her younger sister throw a tantrum at Li Muchen, and she laughed out loud, finding it quite amusing.
He echoed Xiao Xinyan's words, saying, "That's right! Our Yanbao doesn't need anyone's protection! That person is out of his mind, and our Yanbao won't pay any attention to him!"
