The four little ones realized something was wrong as soon as they reached the living room door. Although the living room was quiet and seemed no different from usual, the oppressive atmosphere was very obvious.
Su Xiaowu nervously grabbed Su Lei's arm, "Lei'er, the tyrant hasn't already gone home, has he?"
Susie swallowed nervously. "No way, my brother's coming back. He'd definitely come and get us by now!"
But her hand instinctively gripped the little soft paw tightly.
Little Ruanruan took a deep breath, stepped forward, and patted her little chest. "It's okay. If big brother is angry, just say that I went to Brother Gu Chen's house first, and you went there to find me."
As Xiao Ruanruan was speaking, she saw her older sister, younger brother, and Su Lei all staring in horror at what was behind her.
As soon as she turned her head, her small figure was shrouded in a huge shadow.
Little Ruanruan looked up and saw her older brother's calm and handsome face. She quickly flashed a bright, sunny smile and said, "Big brother, you're back! Ruanruan missed you so much!"
As she spoke, she grabbed Su Yiqing's large hand and shook it ingratiatingly.
If that little creature had a tail, it would probably be wagging it obsequiously right now.
Su Yiqing picked up the little girl with a helpless expression, and pinched her chubby little face. "You missed your big brother, so you went to find Gu Chen?"
Little Ruanruan gave an awkward yet polite but bright smile, and subconsciously put her thumbnail in her mouth and bit it. This... is a bit hard to explain!
Su Yiqing frowned, took her thumb out of her little mouth, carried her into the living room and put her on the sofa, and asked A Xiang to bring nail clippers to trim all of her little nails.
Then, I carried her to wash her hands.
After coming out of the bathroom, he glanced at Su Xiaowu, Su Lei, and Su Qianqian, who were standing in a neat row, and said, "You guys go wash up and go to bed. You have to go to school tomorrow."
The three little ones looked at each other, wondering if their eldest brother wasn't angry, or...?
Their eyes turned to Little Softie.
It seems the eldest brother intends to punish only Little Softie.
Susie asked tentatively, "Big brother, doesn't Little Softie need to go to sleep now? She has school tomorrow too."
"You guys go to sleep first. I have something I want to say to Xiaoruanruan," Su Yiqing said calmly.
But his calmness gave Su Xiaowu and the other two a sense of tranquility before the storm.
Su Xiaowu took a deep breath, closed her eyes for a moment, and then stood up with a heroic look on her face. "Tyrant, it's all because of me that Gu Chen keeps chasing after our family to be our neighbors. If you want to punish someone, punish me!"
Don't punish Little Softie!
"Gu Chen only became our neighbor because of you?" Su Yiqing glanced at Su Xiaowu indifferently and asked, "Did Gu Chen say that?"
"No!" Su Xiaowu said decisively, "But he doesn't need to say it, everyone can see it. When I was kidnapped, he was the first to rescue me. When I was injected with all sorts of weird stuff, he helped me too. A few days ago at Grandma Qin's, when I was poisoned, he carried me on his back."
He's only stayed our neighbor because of me, his brother.
"Tyrant, I just don't understand! Gu Chen is such a loyal and righteous person, why do you dislike him so much!"
Su Yiqing: ...
After a moment of silence, he frowned slightly, his deep eyes giving Su Xiaowu a stern look. "Go to sleep!"
Su Xiaowu glanced at Xiao Ruanruan, still wanting to argue with Su Yiqing, but Xiao Ruanruan quickly said, "Big brother, Su Lei brother, sister, you should go to sleep first, big brother won't punish me."
Right, big brother?
Little Ruanruan smiled sweetly at Su Yiqing and asked.
She didn't actually know if her older brother planned to be angry and punish her, but getting a promise first was definitely the right thing to do.
"Yes, I just have something to say to Xiaoruanruan." Su Yiqing nodded.
"Okay, I'm going to sleep now. Little Softie, if the Tyrant goes back on his word and punishes you, just yell loudly and your big brother will rush down to help you right away!" Su Xiaowu gave this instruction with great concern before heading upstairs.
After Su Xiaowu and the other two went upstairs to their rooms, Su Yiqing sat on the sofa and looked at Xiao Ruanruan with a serious and calm expression, saying, "Ruanruan, Gu Chen has already told us about what happened between you and Gu Chen in the desert."
"Big brother doesn't treat you like a little girl anymore. Do you really like Gu Chen? Not the kind of liking between friends or siblings, but the kind of liking between a man and a woman."
Little Ruanruan frowned, thought seriously for a while, then lowered her head in a little dejection and said in a muffled voice, "Big brother, actually I don't know either."
I had never been in a relationship before I time-traveled, so I'm a little confused about the differences between the feelings between friends, siblings, and older brothers and sisters, and what you call romantic feelings between men and women.
However, I really enjoy being with Brother Gu Chen. I feel very relaxed, comfortable, and at ease when I'm with him.
If he disappears like last time, I will be very sad and heartbroken.
Big brother, is that how you feel about Sister Mo'er?
Her small, soft, bright eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge.
Su Yiqing never expected that Xiao Ruanruan would throw the question back at him. He coughed twice, clearing his throat, feeling a little embarrassed, and his ears turned slightly red.
Little Ruanruan looked at her suddenly shy older brother with a bit of helplessness, it seemed that her family members were all very reserved in this regard.
