After much deliberation, Chaochao on the other end of the line decided that the first idea was the most likely. After all, the young man was so handsome that it was perfectly normal for her to see him as a god!
As Chaochao confidently affirmed herself, just as she was about to speak, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Pei Yushen's legs out of the corner of her eye, and she squatted down to get closer.
Pei Yushen was about to say "never mind" when he suddenly saw Chaochao, who was squatting down, lift up his trouser leg and carefully examine it. Finally, she seemed relieved and showed a relieved smile. She comforted herself and said, "It's okay, it's okay, the red mark is gone."
When Chaochao noticed Pei Yushen's legs, she subconsciously wondered if the mark on her brother Yushen's legs had faded...
Her thought was immediately put into action, and she confirmed again and again that it was really gone.
In the last two or three seconds before pulling down her trouser leg, the little girl couldn't resist gently touching the thin scar. She looked up at Pei Yushen and earnestly comforted him, "I noticed! It's gotten a little darker. Brother Yushen, just bear with it a little longer, it'll be fine soon."
Pei Yu lowered his eyes to look at Chaochao, who was squatting beside the wheelchair. He easily suppressed the last bit of discomfort that Chaochao felt when she touched his legs. He looked at her with a slightly dazed expression, as if he had returned to last night in an instant.
"..."
It doesn't matter if his question wasn't answered.
After Chaochao pulled down her trousers, Pei Yushen slowly said, "But the lighter the color of the scab, the closer it is to healing."
"..." Chaochao's eyes widened, and she scratched her head, doubting her memory. "Is that so?"
But the most important thing is to calm the injured down. Chaochao, who has no stance, said: "Then I must have misread it. The color is getting lighter and lighter."
Pei Yushen: "..."
Chaochao stood up, supporting herself on her knees. At this moment, she remembered almost everything in her mind, both the things she should and shouldn't remember.
Pei Yushen noticed the little boy's face suddenly stiffen: "What's wrong?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the little dumpling lay down on his lap with a sad expression. Her big, teary eyes were like mountain spring water, rippling in circles: "Brother Yushen, will you despise me?"
Pei Yushen was caught off guard by this familiar question. His lips parted, and he paused for a rare moment: "...What?"
Chaochao clutched his pants with both hands, her little mouth pouting: "Brother said I'm a little drunkard, and my drinking manners are bad... He even said that when I'm drunk, I'm harder to catch than Sun Wukong, sob sob..."
"..." Pei Yushen was speechless for a moment. Last night, there were many incidents in the hall of the Huo residence, and the servants' screams were so loud that Pei Yushen could hear them even through the door.
"Even harder to catch than the Monkey King, shouldn't he be incredibly powerful?"
Pei Yushen said.
Chaochao paused in her sorrow, staring blankly at him: "What you said makes a lot of sense..."
However, the next second...
"But Daddy said I can't drink alcohol for the next fifteen years!" Overwhelmed with grief, the little dumpling banged her head on the ground.
Fifteen years! That's fifteen years! She's only lived for three years now, fifteen years is like many three-year periods!
Sensing something was wrong, Chaochao blankly lifted her head from the boy's lap, "?"
She first touched her forehead in confusion, blinked to register the reaction, and then looked at Pei Yushen with a start, her little voice filled with anxiety: "Brother Yushen, did you hurt yourself...?"
In Chaochao's mind, Pei Yushen was only in a wheelchair because he was sick and unable to walk. She had no idea that his paralysis meant he had lost all sensation.
Pei Yushen raised his hand and touched her forehead. "It won't hurt."
With tiny pearls still clinging to her eyelashes, Chaochao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, patting her little chest with a sigh of relief: "That's good, you scared me to death."
Pei Yushen actually wanted to say that it was indeed not suitable for you to drink before you turned eighteen, but thinking about it now, talking about adulthood to a three-year-old is too far away. It's as cruel as telling her that you still have more than five thousand days until the college entrance examination.
Pei Yu gently wiped away the tears clinging to the little dumpling's eyelashes with his cold, pale fingertips. "Even when you're drunk, you're still adorable."
Although he was trying to avoid that topic, he was telling the truth.
Chaochao blinked unconsciously, and the glistening water droplets rolled down the boy's fingertips, finally splashing onto the floor.
Overwhelmed with joy, Chaochao hugged Pei Yushen's arm tightly, "Waaah, Brother Yushen, you're so good..."
She was almost easily comforted with just a few words, wiped away her tears, and then looked with great interest at the candy that the boy was still holding in his hand.
Her wandering eyes, though seemingly casual, were almost a blatant declaration that she wanted that candy.
She's made up her mind.
Why not eat it if it's free? And since Dad doesn't know, it's her secret candy, hahaha.
"Brother Yu Shen, aren't you going to give me this candy?"
Seeing that the other party was not getting her hints, Chaochao couldn't hold back and directly pointed her little finger at the candy to make it clear.
However, to her surprise...
The boy clenched his long, slender fingers. "I won't give it to you."
The three words "the discussion" left Chaochao speechless.
Are you still the same cute, affectionate guy who was just sweet-talking her?! Or have you been replaced?!
Seeing the little dumpling's incredulous round eyes, Pei Yushen laughed. It was a genuine, pure laugh, without any pretense or sarcasm.
The young man with black hair and fair skin was already handsome. The golden sunlight slanted down on him, and his smile at this moment made people think of him as the once-proud prince.
For some reason, Chaochao felt that Yushen should be like this—sunny, relaxed, and dazzling.
At this moment, Pei Yushen seemed to be glowing.
Chaochao stared silently for a while, then let out a quiet sigh.
Oh well, what can I do when Yu Shen is so handsome?
Oh wait, who told the young man to coax her just now?
Having figured things out, Chaochao pushed the boy's hand into his arms and sighed like an old lady, "Brother, as long as you're happy."
This is absolutely true, because eating candy makes people happy!
Even so, Chaochao was still a little shocked when she saw Pei Yushen put the candy into the drawer.
Despite not playing by the rules, Pei Yushen remained calm and composed, though a faint smile gradually spread across his dark eyes.
He pinched Chaochao's signature little bun, and suddenly thought of their phone call this morning. A dark glint flashed in the boy's smiling eyes.
Pei Yu hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth slightly, and then closed it silently again.
