Blinking again and again, Mo Yutong racked his brains to think of words.
But she was stared at by the boy's dark eyes, and her thoughts were unable to keep up and were stuck.
I finally managed to utter, "Don't people in Sichuan love spicy food?"
"Yeah! You're right." Yan Mingli admitted that most people here like spicy food, and some can even drink corn porridge with raw chili peppers, but the little girl's question seemed like a quick-witted response.
He always felt that there was something deeper behind the boy's words, but Mo Yutong didn't dare to ask for the truth, for fear of getting himself implicated.
In front of him, she had the least self-control and could easily be thrown into a blazing flame by the pounding heart.
The flame burned so fiercely, like a sunset drowning in a deep orange sea, or a hurricane trapped in a spring field of roses. She was so fascinated that she didn't know the way home.
In her previous life, she had been single for thirty-six years, as if just to stand there and wait for him to approach, and then hold hands with him in the vast crowd.
"Sister is the worm in big brother's stomach..." Yan Mingxue hadn't finished her words when Yan Mingli glared at her and said, "Don't say that while eating."
Hearing this, Mo Yutong couldn't help but think of the terrifying experience in her childhood: ten sweet pagoda candies and a fat white worm.
The scene is so beautiful that I dare not recall it. It's so scary that the hairs on my body stand up.
"Have they ever killed insects?" Mo Yutong got the chance to change the subject, not caring whether the topic was suitable for discussion at the dinner table.
"After the grain was distributed last year, I bought them pagoda candies." Yan Mingli always tries his best to take care of his younger brothers and sisters.
"Sister, the pagoda candies are delicious, but my eldest brother won't let me eat more." Yan Mingxue continued to complain, "I only ate seven, but my second brother ate ten. My eldest brother is partial!"
"You can only eat pagoda candy once or twice a year. If you eat too much, you will get sick." Seeing Xue'er pouting slightly, Mo Yutong immediately explained for her boy.
A pot of hot water suddenly boiled in his heart, burning it so much that his heart trembled constantly. The boy stared at his little girl, his eyes becoming softer and his eyebrows becoming gentler.
"I will feel very uncomfortable and unable to get out of bed?" This is the only painful symptom Yan Mingxue can think of after being ill.
"You will have headaches, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and even large red bumps all over your body." Yan Mingxue shuddered every time Mo Yutong mentioned a symptom.
Only after she finished speaking did Yan Mingxue hurriedly say, "I'll listen to my sister and only eat seven. I won't eat more."
Yan Mingxue swore that she would never fight with her second brother for pagoda candy again, and she didn't want to get sick at all.
Seeing her head shaking like a rattle, Yan Mingli was stunned.
Last year, when I gave her pagoda candies, she could only eat seven because she was not heavy enough, and she cried a lot.
After he took the trouble to explain and finally made her understand that the quantity was related to weight, she threw herself into his arms and apologized softly.
But looking at her now, she might have forgotten his words long ago and only remembered the three pagoda candies that she ate less than Mingcheng.
"Xue'er is so good!" Mo Yutong glanced at Yan Mingli, then continued to look at Yan Mingxue and said, "Brother Li loves you very much, you should love him too."
"Is it the same love that a sister loves her brother?" Yan Mingxue felt that it should be like this. Every time the sister looked at her brother, her eyes were bright and shining, like the beautiful little stars in the sky.
What's the point of loving or not loving? Yan Mingli almost wanted to explode on the spot!
His little girl is not honest when educating children. She is really a naughty little girl.
"Eat!" Yan Mingli swept his eyes over the three people who were only holding bowls but not eating, and knocked on the rim of the soup bowl with the tip of his chopsticks.
"Okay! Brother Li is the head of the family, we all listen to him." Mo Yutong emphasized the word "head of the family", and Yan Mingli's ears were about to smoke.
He glared at her unhappily, but the little girl didn't buy his tricks. She picked up a piece of meat for him with a playful smile and said softly, "Don't be angry, head of the family. I'll pick up some food for you!"
"I'll pick up some food for big brother too!" Yan Mingxue followed closely behind, quickly picking up a piece of cabbage stalk from the soup bowl and throwing it into Yan Mingli's bowl, then picked up a piece of meat and gently put it into Mo Yutong's bowl, "Sister, have some too."
Looking at the obvious difference in treatment in the bowl, Yan Mingli didn't know whether to be happy or worried?
Her little girl expressed her preference for her so blatantly, approaching her intimately and burning her with passion.
In the hot summer of Ming County, in the twilight brought by the wind, he felt warm and relaxed.
And his sister, whom he had raised with great difficulty for six years, was already starting to become unyielding.
"Brother Li, eat more." Mo Yutong continued to put meat into his bowl.
The corners of her eyes raised up in a beautiful arc to meet his, like the warm sun in the clear sky after the snow in deep winter, smoothing out every crack in her heart that was cracked by the biting cold wind.
"Hmm!" Yan Mingli curled up the corners of his mouth, and a soft light appeared in the depths of his pupils, like the ripples on the sea, swaying and rocking!
The little girl's heart rose and fell gently, the blush on her cheeks spread and faded, and her sweet smile never stopped until... dinner was finally over.
After Yan Mingli finished the last half bowl of rice soaked in vegetable soup, he didn't care about the little girl's burning gaze. He immediately stacked up the bowl and chopsticks, picked up the earthenware pot and ran out of the bedroom.
Mo Yutong smiled with her lips pursed and her eyes curved. Together with the two children, she moved the chairs and stools to the yard, wiped them clean with white cloth, and let them dry in the evening breeze.
In the kitchen, Yan Mingli had already cleaned the pots and pans with a brush, and had rekindled the fire, boiling a large pot of water.
"There's water boiling in the pot. Do you want to take a bath later?" The young man walked to the little girl standing in the afterglow of the setting sun, lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.
"Brother Li, you need to take a shower too!" The little girl turned around and met his smile, her soft tone sticky and gentle.
"Hmm!" Seeing the little girl's eyes suddenly curved with a smile, the boy couldn't help but add, "I'll be the last one to wash."
"Hehehe..." The little girl laughed inexplicably, making the boy blush and want to step back, but she stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Don't worry, brother Li, I won't be with you for the time being."
"You..." The little girl's bold words made the boy's whole body burn, even his fingertips were numb from the heat. He whispered helplessly, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not good for you!"
"I'm only telling you." The little girl tilted her head slightly and stared at her boy, her eyes reflecting a crimson glow.
The smoke was thin, yet it concealed the scene of the setting sun, as if the beautiful mountains and rivers were covered with a layer of deep purple mist.
"I, can't tell you for now." The boy's eyes were a little confused, but he didn't avoid the girl's gaze. He just carefully stroked the seam of his pants with his hand to relieve the tension in his heart.
She didn't reject him completely, so her boy's heart was moved more than a little. Perhaps she only needed to take one more step forward to hug her boy.
