The early winter morning wasn't that cold yet, but children couldn't withstand the cold. Winter was especially dangerous for children, so Li wrapped Ye Shuang up in layers of clothing, making it look like the dead of winter.
Ye Shuang smiled, closed her eyes, and as the first ray of sunlight rose, the density of spiritual energy around her reached its peak.
Ye Shuang only took the purest wisp of spiritual energy at sunrise. At this time, the spiritual energy emitted a faint purple hue and was the purest wisp of energy in the world, equivalent to dozens of days of ordinary cultivation.
But this wisp of silk was far from enough; it could only offer a slight comfort to her severely damaged meridians.
Ye Shuang opened her eyes and sighed. Well, repairing meridians can't be rushed; we'll take it slowly.
Just then, Li Mantian returned. Seeing Ye Shuang lying on the rocking chair in the yard, almost asleep, he grinned and asked, "Why are you outside? Aren't you cold?"
"Father, you're back!" Ye Shuang felt relieved. Thanks to the sun today, the last trace of dark energy on Li Mantian's forehead had faded, and she felt at ease. "Father, I'm not cold. Mother wrapped me up so tightly I could barely walk!"
This little voice was always right when it came to tattling. Li Mantian happily hugged Ye Shuang in his arms: "Okay, if you can't walk anymore, Daddy will carry you, okay? Daddy brought you some glutinous rice cakes, they're really sweet. We can set off after you finish breakfast. Daddy has also hitched up the oxcart, so we'll ride together in the oxcart later. Isn't that awesome?"
Ye Shuang rested her face on Li Mantian's shoulder so he couldn't see her expressionless face, but her voice was full of surprise: "Really?"
"What do you mean, real or fake?" Li Wenyi stretched and walked out of the room.
Li Mantian was increasingly disgusted with this brat: "A grown man like you, still sleeping in? Even your sister got up earlier than you, how dare you ask me here?"
Li Wenyi has been disliked for so many years and is already used to it. Anyway, it's not like it's just the first time. Over the years, he has realized that normal people love boys, but his parents are different; they only love girls.
Li Wenyi remained completely unfazed and even stepped forward to take his little sister, who was wrapped up like a ball, so that his father could go about his other business: "Little sister, how about playing with me this morning?"
He admitted that she had won, and he conceded defeat. Anyway, having a cute little sister wasn't so bad, and with her around, he'd probably get scolded less often, right?
"No good." Ye Shuang felt a little disgusted with this cheap older brother.
Ignoring Ye Shuang's refusal, Li Wenyi carried the ball into his room, saying, "Aren't you hot with all these layers on? Shall I take some off for you?"
Ye Shuang shook her head: "Mother said we're going to the market soon, so if I take it off now, I'll have to put it back on later."
Li Wenyi looked at the little round ball who was sitting on the bed and fell backward, unable to even sit still, and couldn't help but laugh: "It's okay, I'll put it on for you in a bit, it's no trouble."
The laughter really made her want to hit him, but then she thought that she could walk on her own once she took it off, so Ye Shuang held back and nodded: "Then I'll have to trouble you, brother."
Li Wenyi didn't dare to take off too many clothes for her, as it would be troublesome if she really got sick. He only took off two pieces of clothing, so that the little girl could move around freely.
He picked Ye Shuang up from the bed and helped her walk around: "You can't go out, you can only stay in the room. If you catch a cold from the wind, you'll have to take bitter medicine."
Ye Shuang obediently listened because she was a little curious about the books on Li Wenyi's desk. They were always a thick stack with small print. Could he read them?
