"If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. Why are you so disgusted?"
The third brother, Li Muhao, rolled his eyes at the second brother, Li Muchen, who was hiding far away, feeling that his second brother was a bit too flamboyant.
Li Muhao stuffed the durian into his mouth, deliberately chewed it a few times, and deliberately exclaimed loudly:
"So sweet! So fragrant! So delicious!"
It's good that my second brother doesn't like it, that way he won't be able to fight me for the durian.
Li Muhao squinted his eyes contentedly; he really loved the smell of durian.
The eldest brother, Li Muxing, also glanced at the second brother, Li Muchen, and said meaningfully:
"The second child is always different from us. He just doesn't like what we like, as if that makes him seem so special."
For example, they all like to eat durian, except for the second child.
They all liked Xiao Yanbao, except for the second son.
He didn't understand the fragrance of durian, nor could he appreciate the fragrance of his sister.
The fourth sister, Li Muhan, was quick-witted and immediately understood what her eldest brother meant. She chimed in, "You can't blame the second brother for this. After all, not everyone can distinguish between jade and stones. In the end, more people mistake pearls for mud balls."
The fifth brother, Li Mufeng, was never a picky eater, but at this moment, all his thoughts were focused on eating durian.
He also expressed his incomprehension regarding his second brother Li Muchen's dislike of durian, saying:
"Durian is so delicious! Durian is the best fruit in my heart! I really don't understand people who don't like durian."
Could it be that... people who like durian and people who don't like durian perceive the taste of durian completely differently?
While eating durian with elegant movements, the sixth brother, Li Mushen, said softly, "I also think durian is delicious, but I don't like stinky tofu, even though they are both smelly things."
"Let's all ignore Second Brother. He's so stubborn, there's no point in talking to him."
The seventh brother, Li Mujun, also glanced in the direction of the second brother, Li Muchen, with a cold look in his eyes.
Ever since his second brother started targeting Xiao Yanbao, his relationship with his second brother has plummeted to rock bottom.
He was no longer the little tagalong who liked to follow his second brother around and have him play with him.
Li Mujun quickly averted her gaze, glancing at Xiao Yanbao, her eyes softening instantly: "I wonder if Yanbao likes durian?"
At that time, Xiao Yanbao was studying this legendary durian, and always thought it looked strange and a bit ugly.
However, the little baby clearly found its smell acceptable and did not show the slightest sign of disgust.
Moreover, watching my mother, Zhong Jingyi, peel the durian flesh out of the durian shell gave me an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
"Yanbao, would you like to try some?"
Zhong Jingyi scooped out a little durian flesh with a small spoon and handed it to Xiao Yanbao.
Little Yanbao nodded obediently and then swallowed the durian flesh on the spoon into his mouth in one gulp.
The moment it entered her mouth, a peculiar taste created a strong impact on her palate. The little girl visibly frowned, seemingly unaccustomed to it. But as she chewed slowly, she began to taste the sweetness of durian, and her eyes brightened noticeably.
Wow! Durian tastes so good!
The little girl clapped her hands, saying, "Yan Yan wants more!"
The little guy has an exceptionally strong ability to accept new things; he instantly fell in love with the taste of durian.
The Li family members breathed a sigh of relief, especially the brothers who adored their younger sister.
They were relieved that their younger sister liked it, and they could now enjoy durian with her without worry.
"As long as Yanbao likes it!"
Grandma Li took the durian pulp and small spoon from Zhong Jingyi and began to feed the little baby herself, saying with eyes full of affection:
"If Yanbao likes durian, Grandma will buy it for him often!"
"Thank you, Grandma!" Little Yanbao's eyes curved like crescent moons, her soft and adorable appearance was very endearing.
For the rest of the time, everyone in the Li family living room except for the second son, Li Muchen, was eating durian.
The smell of durian filled the air, leaving Li Muchen nowhere to hide or escape.
He had no choice but to find a corner where he could not smell anything, squat there and play games to distract himself.
From a distance, he seemed quite—
Weak, helpless, and pitiful...
Xiao Yanbao noticed her second brother, who seemed out of place among everyone else, and it was as if she saw a reflection of her younger self.
When the village children gathered together to play, she was always the one who was excluded.
She could only stand far away and watch them play.
The excitement belonged to others; it had never been her concern.
At this moment, Li Muchen seems to resemble her from back then.
If you always stand out from the crowd, you'll never truly fit in.
Xiao Yanbao hesitated for a moment, then picked up a plate of durian flesh and walked towards Li Muchen.
"Second brother, don't you eat durian?"
A sweet and soft baby voice rang in his ears. Li Muchen subconsciously looked up at Xiao Yanbao and then smelled a pungent stench into his nostrils.
In an instant, Li Muchen seemed to be severely frightened and hid in the deepest corner of the wall.
If he could, he probably would want to bury himself entirely inside the wall.
"Who gave you permission to bring this thing next to me?"
Li Muchen stared at the plate of durian in horror, frowned, and said to Xiao Yanbao, "It stinks! Take it away!"
