"Girl, do you really want to play?" Staring at the two people leaving, Xiaohong frowned slightly.
Lianxiang pursed her lips coldly, "Don't want to play? What else can I do? Count!"
Hearing this, Xiaohong could only respond with a "yes" and began to count, "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine..."
After a long moment, until Xiaohong counted to a hundred, Lianxiang quickly flew away. Staring at the person who had vanished in an instant, Xiaohong sighed and shook her head. "The girl must be pissed off too! This is the first time I've seen her catch someone so quickly. Good thing, the sooner she catches him, the sooner it's over."
After saying that, Xiaohong shook her head and sighed again, then turned around and went back into the house.
On this side, after leaving Lianxiang's yard, Xiao Yunxi did not go anywhere. Instead, he asked Xing'er to carry him to a big tree outside Lianxiang's door, and watched everything happening in the yard with a smile.
It was not until Lianxiang left the yard that he lazily said, "Xing'er, I'm tired!"
As he spoke, Xiao Yunxi closed his eyes and made a gesture to lie down. If Xing'er had not quickly held him, he would have fallen from the tree by now.
"You! You will scare us to death sooner or later." Xing'er shook her head helplessly. Although she complained, a doting smile flashed in her eyes.
Xing'er found a hidden tree trunk and sat down, then let Xiao Yunxi sit on her lap. She just stayed there quietly, waiting for Xiao Yunxi to wake up.
From morning till middle age, Lianxiang returned to her courtyard more than once, but she searched the entire Prince Jing's Mansion but could not find Xiao Yunxi.
"He still hasn't been here?" Lianxiang asked a little angrily.
Xiao Hong shook her head. "Miss, do you think Young Master An is playing a trick on you? Maybe he's not even in the mansion anymore."
"But I asked the guards at the front and back doors, and they all said that An Yunxi had never gone out."
Hearing this, Xiaohong sighed helplessly, "Miss, why do you think so? Yes, Young Master An doesn't have the ability to leave, but doesn't he have Xing'er by his side? With Xing'er's ability, she can take Young Master An away from Prince Jing's Mansion without alerting others. That's why I said that Young Master An came to you this early in the morning with ulterior motives."
"Miss, it's already noon. Stop looking. Let's go have dinner first!" Xiaohong looked at the sky and said again.
"No, let's look for it again! If I give up like this and that little brat finds out, I might become a person who doesn't keep his word tomorrow." Lianxiang insisted, but she looked again and again, and when the sun set in the afternoon, she still couldn't find Xiao Yunxi.
On the big tree, little Yunxi woke up from a good sleep. While eating the sweet-scented osmanthus cake that Xing'er had given him, he looked at the furious people in the yard with a smile and muttered quietly, "Fortunately, I had foresight, otherwise I would have been hungry if I had stayed in the tree all day."
"Young master, you are not hungry, but I am!" Xing'er's little face was expressionless. Although she said that, she still handed him the last piece of cake in her hand.
Xing'er actually didn't expect Xiao Yunxi to be so patient. She actually stayed in the tree the whole day, either sleeping or eating. However, she didn't bring much food with her, so she gave it all to Xiao Yunxi.
"Auntie Xing, eat! I'm not hungry anymore." Little Yunxi pushed it back and didn't take the cake from Xing'er's hand. He clapped his hands and said, "Let's go downstairs!"
Hearing this, Xing'er hugged little Yunxi and flew lightly, and the two of them landed in Lianxiang's yard.
"Aunt Lianxiang, you lose. You haven't found me the whole day!" Little Yunxi blinked her bright eyes and said with a smile.
Looking at Xiao Yunxi, Lianxiang looked at the big tree outside the courtyard, and suddenly chuckled, "Master An, you're not going to stay in that tree all day, are you?"
When Lianxiang heard Xiao Yunxi's words, she immediately knew that Xiao Yunxi was here to play a trick on her, but this method was too stupid.
"Yes! As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. You didn't expect that I was always right in front of you, right?" Xiao Yunxi said proudly.
Lianxiang snorted sarcastically, "I was wondering if I was being fooled, but now it seems that you are also fooling yourself."
Spending the entire day in a tree?
Was he teasing her or himself? That was a whole day! There was nothing to play with in the tree, let alone eat. It was boring and uninteresting to stay there. He was really a brat who hadn't grown up. What fun was there in this?
"Hmm?" Little Yunxi's big black eyes flashed with a clever look, but on the surface, he scratched his head as if thinking. Then he said innocently, "Because last night was the first time I stayed at Dad's house, I was a little uncomfortable, so I didn't sleep well. I slept in the tree all day today and ate cakes as soon as I woke up. Am I kidding myself?"
Lianxiang was stunned and furious. Could it be that this little kid was just sleeping while playing hide-and-seek with her?
She had been looking for him the whole day, but this kid just slept and ate snacks the whole time. She originally wanted to say that this kid was stupid, and he not only played tricks on others but also on himself, but now it seems that she was the only one who was played tricks on.
"What else do you want to play?" Lianxiang said gritting her teeth. Although she knew she was being tricked, she couldn't show it.
Xiao Yunxi's eyes lit up, "Aunt Lianxiang, do you still want to play with me? I thought you didn't want to play with me anymore after today."
I don’t want to!
Lianxiang replied in her heart but didn't say it out loud. Then she said, "Young Master An is cute and lovable. Aunt Lianxiang certainly doesn't mind playing with you, but Aunt Lianxiang is an adult woman. To be honest, playing hide-and-seek is too boring."
