Xia Youyou felt the weight on her head, her body being pressed lower and lower, and she turned her aggrieved eyes towards him.
Qi Siling was amused by the two people's appearance and held her forehead with her hand. She threw her handkerchief to Xiao Hai and signaled him to continue wiping.
"If you press her any further, she won't grow tall!" He raised his hand and took Cao An's hand, rescuing the little girl.
Xia Youyou was free and quickly hid behind Qi Siling. "That's right! You just wish I couldn't grow taller!"
"Can you still grow taller? You're already seventeen!" Cao An glanced at the two of them with disdain, walked over to the cleaned stool and sat down. He crossed his legs, looking a bit like a second-generation rich kid!
"You!" Xia Youyou hated it most when he brought up her height! She was nearly 1.80 meters tall in her later life, but here she was only just over 1.5 meters. How could this not be described as miserable?
"When did you celebrate your birthday?" Qi Siling clearly asked her when they were in Bao City. She was only sixteen.
"Ha, her birthday is on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Isn't that fun? Celebrating both the Lunar New Year and her birthday."
Cao An's merciless ridicule finally angered Xia Youyou.
"I'm going to fight you!" He rushed behind him, grabbed his ears with both hands and pulled them out.
The brother and sister played with each other without any scruples. Xia Youyou grabbed his ear, and Cao An grabbed her hair. Afraid of hurting her, he held her little head in his hands.
Xia Youyou's face was squeezed and deformed by his two big hands, and she kept muttering.
"Cao An! Just wait, I'll let mom beat you up when we get back!"
"You're so rebellious! You even dared to call me by my name! I think you deserve to be punished!"
The sudden scene caught Qi Siling and Xiao Hai off guard. They hurried forward to stop the fight.
"Stop it, Brother Cao, how can you bully Miss Youyou! Alas, her face is about to be deformed by you!" Xiao Hai couldn't bear to look at Xia Youyou's face.
Qi Siling grabbed her hand and said, "Let go."
"I'll let him go first after he lets me go!" Xia Youyou was not convinced. He provoked me first, so why should I let him go first!
"Brother Cao, let go first." Qi Siling persuaded Cao An again.
"She made the first move, why should I let go!" Cao An was calm and didn't feel any pain at all.
Qi Siling felt helpless for the first time and was overwhelmed.
The two of them were fighting fiercely, and he could only pry Xia Youyou's hands apart, "Be good, stop making trouble, I'll take you to see some jewelry, do you want to?"
"Jewelry?" Xia Youyou's face was distorted as Cao An held her hand. She turned her eyes with difficulty to look at him.
He finally found a way to get them to stop, and immediately continued. "Yeah, don't you like those? I'll take you there now, how about that? You can take whatever you like!"
Xia Youyou frowned and hesitated for a moment, "Cao An, if I say let go, then let go together!"
"Call me brother!" Cao An didn't give him any face at all.
"Brother~" Xia Youyou was crying.
Cao An then let go of her face with trembling arms. Tsk tsk, I can't stand it!
Xia Youyou regained her freedom and pinched his ear hard before being pulled away by Qi Siling.
"Come on, come on, I'll take you to see the jewelry." Finally the two of them separated. I didn't expect that these brother and sister were so naughty!
Qi Siling pulled her back and she turned to look at Cao An, sticking her tongue out at him provocatively.
Cao An was sitting on a stool. When he saw Xia Youyou turning around, he raised his fist as if he was going to chase her.
Xia Youyou quickly walked past Qi Siling and left the hall first.
"Brother Cao, why are you and sister Youyou so noisy?" Xiao Hai shuddered. If he could make such a fuss with Xiao Meili, his mother would beat him to death!
"I'm just being accommodating to her and teasing her!" She can't do this at home. Her mother is strict and she loves to complain. It's not fun here.
After Cao An came to the capital, he let himself go and provoked Xia Youyou several times. Today, he finally got a fight as he wished.
Xiao Hai didn't understand, shook his head and sat on a chair aside.
Qi Siling grabbed the little girl who was about to run away and said, "Don't run. There's moss on the ground. Be careful not to slip."
"Then hurry up, Ba Pi will catch up soon!" Xia Youyou turned his head to look behind him, and made sure that Cao An hadn't caught up, then he stood firm and wanted to move forward. He looked around and asked, "Which way?"
Qi Siling placed both hands on her shoulders and pushed her to the right. "This way."
After taking Xia Youyou around in circles, they finally arrived at a courtyard that looked like the main courtyard.
"This is it." Qi Siling walked around from behind her to the front, walked forward to get the key and open the door.
The door opened and he turned to look at the girl, "Come in."
Xia Youyou hesitated, "Just show me something, something shiny will do, jade is not necessary." She already had the best bracelet in her space, which was considered the top jade.
"Let's go in and take a look together." Qi Siling was puzzled. Didn't they want to continue watching?
"That's not a good idea." Xia Youyou was a little hesitant. How could an outsider follow someone into their treasure trove? Moreover, if they lost something in the future, would they suspect her?
"It's okay, I'm not afraid, so why are you afraid?" And these things are worthless now.
"I'm not going. Just go get something for me to see." Xia Youyou refused to follow him.
Qi Siling had no choice but to give up, walked into the room, opened the secret room, and stayed in for a while before coming out with a box in his arms.
Xia Youyou wandered around the yard bored, touched the tree trunks in the yard, and ran to the pond on the side to look at the fish in it. She was amazed that there were fish in such a small pond.
She picked up a branch and stirred it in the pool. Her reflection in the water was spread out by the ripples, forming circles of ripples.
Qi Siling saw this scene when he came out of the door. The little girl was curious about what was in the water and was about to fall in. Not wanting to scare her and make her fall into the pool, he stomped his foot lightly on the ground, making a slight sound.
Xia Youyou finally reacted, moved away from the pool, and turned to look at him. Seeing the box in his hand, her eyes lit up, thinking there must be something good.
"Stand up carefully, don't fall in." Qi Siling reminded her carefully, fearing that she might stagger.
She shook her head indifferently, "No." She stood up steadily and walked towards him.
Qi Siling cleared the dead leaves and branches from a stone table in the yard and placed the heavy box on it. The lock clicked open and he lifted the lid.
Xia Youyou widened her eyes and couldn't wait to look inside.
"I didn't know if you would like these, so I just took some at random. I asked you to go in by yourself, but you refused."
"I like it," Xia Youyou nodded repeatedly, picking up a sapphire ring and staring at it. "This sapphire is so beautiful!" There is no impurity in it, and it has been polished. Perhaps because it has been stored for too long, the whole gem looks a little blurry.
Xia Youyou was getting more and more excited as she looked at the box of gems. They were truly beautiful! Sparkling! After cleaning and re-polishing them, they would surely dazzle the eyes.
After turning over a layer of jewelry, Qi Siling took out something from underneath.
"Do you like this?"
