Because neither of them liked having anyone around, especially Xiao Beizhan. Whenever he was naughty, many people would come over to persuade him, which annoyed him to no end.
So the two clever little ones would sneak out to play for a while, so it was hard to find them for a while.
Xiao Beizhan realized that the man in front of him meant no harm, so he felt relieved and said with righteous indignation.
"Brother, go and call for help. I'll hold this big bad guy off here!"
"Then you wait, I'll be back soon."
Xiao Junlin glanced at them, then immediately turned his small body around and ran non-stop to the study.
...
After Xiao Jun left, Xiao Beizhan continued his "fierce battle" with the great demon in his eyes. Of course, it was actually him kicking Xie Changling, but he couldn't hurt Xie Changling at all.
"Tsk, little one, what's your name?"
Xie Changling pinched Xiao Beizhan's little face, adoring him so much, and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.
This kiss was quite something. Xiao Beizhan, who had been unable to struggle and had calmed down, suddenly became like a fox with its fur standing on end, kicking and hitting.
The reason is simple: in Xiao Beizhan's mind, his status is very noble, and only his father and mother can kiss him; no one else can.
But now, this little thief from who-knows-where dares to kiss him, which makes Xiao Beizhan feel hurt.
"What's your name? I'll make sure my father kills you!"
"You little brat, I like you because of you. Kill, kill, kill. You never learn anything good."
Xie Changling gave him a hard slap on the bottom. Xiao Beizhan's fierce eyes instantly became clear, and his little face turned rosy. He was no longer the person who had just made those harsh words.
“My name is Xie Changling, remember that. Now it’s your turn to speak.”
Xie Changling waited leisurely for Xiao Beizhan's reply, and seeing that he was still pondering, he was a little curious about what this little brat was thinking.
He pinched Xiao Beizhan's cheek, speaking in a rough voice, but his eyes were exceptionally gentle and full of love.
"Hurry up and explain yourself, or I'll beat your face until it's swollen and turn you into a little pig's head, making your mother heartbroken."
"Don't turn into a pig's head! My name is Xiao Beizhan, and I'm going to be a general! I told you, don't hit me! Don't make Mother worry!"
Xiao Beizhan was both arrogant and cowardly. Even though he was being threatened, he wasn't afraid at all. He had been holding his head high, looking like he was going to fight Xie Changling to the death.
But upon hearing that his mother would worry, Xiao Beizhan immediately covered his face. The little man was most afraid of his mother's tearful eyes!
Xie Changling was both amused and exasperated, but he genuinely liked the child. It was clear that Xi'er and Xiao Jin had raised him very well.
"Are you so afraid of your mother?"
Xie Changling thought of Song Lingxi. He patted Xiao Beizhan's head and saw him turn his head to look into those very similar eyes.
"I wish you looked like your mother."
Xie Changling could already foresee how Xiao Beizhan would be questioned about his background in the future.
"?"
Xiao Beizhan didn't know what he meant, but the little boy still remembered that his father always held him tightly because he looked like his mother.
"You're talking nonsense! I look most like my mother. My father told me that, so don't try to fool me!"
When Xie Changling heard Xiao Jin's name, his eyes flickered. This time, he didn't say anything, but he tightened his grip on Xiao Beizhan's arm.
A somewhat crazy idea popped into his mind: he wanted to rebel, he wanted to be with Xi'er and Zhan'er, they were originally a family of three, weren't they?
"Hey, put me down right now, or I'll have my father and mother punish you!"
Xiao Beizhan, after a short while of not fighting, started climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. Bored while staying in Xie Changling's arms, he began to act arrogantly and domineeringly again.
"You little brat, tsk, you really deserve a beating!"
Just as Xie Changling was about to continue to educate Xiao Beizhan, a child's scream came from not far away in the peach blossom forest.
"ah--"
Xiao Beizhan recognized Xiao Junlin's voice and anxiously called out, "Brother, it's brother!"
"Don't panic, I'll take you to see it."
Xie Changling quickly comforted him, and then strode towards the direction from which the sound came out.
They quickly found Xiao Junlin, but what they witnessed was extremely dangerous—
