Whether it was just his imagination or not, Hongxuan decided to follow Xiang'er's heart and stop smiling.
Little Hongjing twisted his little body, unhappy. "Brother, smile!"
Hongxuan steadied his younger brother Hongjing's wriggling body with both hands and casually made up an excuse, saying, "Even the things you like will lose their appeal if you see them too often.
