Chapter 159 My brother knows magic!
Lou Hongjian tried everything he could to win his sister's forgiveness.
He always knew how to please girls, and he was good with words. Mao Mao was a very generous girl, and before half a day was even over, she had already been coaxed into looking at him properly.
But the trump card is yet to come.
Lou Hongjian went out for a while, and when he came back, he deliberately clenched his hands.
"Mao Mao, guess what your brother has in his hand?"
Mao Mao munched on dried sweet potato, leaned against her mother, and swung her little feet to look at her.
Lou Hongjian smiled, his peach blossom eyes crinkling, and waved his arms in front of her, both in front and behind.
From both sides, his hands were empty, looking nothing special. A pair of slender, fair hands, with neatly trimmed nails, and without any adornment.
"Mao Mao, watch closely..."
Mao Mao didn't blink an eye.
As he spoke, he flicked his wrist, and suddenly a small, swaying flower appeared in his palm.
"Um?!"
Mao Mao sat up straight immediately, her eyes wide open.
She didn't even bother to eat the dried sweet potato; she held her brother's hand and looked around, then leaned in to smell the fragrance of the flowers.
Lou Hongjian handed the small flower to her. Mao Mao carefully reached out and touched it. The petals were soft and delicate, and looked very real. It was not her illusion.
Most importantly, this flower appeared out of thin air from Lou Hongjian's hands!
"Brother?" Mao Mao looked at him incredulously, as if she were meeting him for the first time: "Brother can do magic?"
Lou Hongjian smiled, his peach blossom eyes crinkling, but he didn't answer her.
He reached his hand to Mao Mao's head again, gently touched her head, and took off the pearl hair clip that was pinned to her head.
The small pearls on the hair clip are arranged together to form the shape of a flower.
Lou Hongjian said, "Mao Mao, take another look..." As soon as he finished speaking, the pearl hair clip in his hand disappeared into thin air and turned into a blooming white flower.
It's as if the pearl-arranged flowers have turned into real flowers!
Even the number of petals is exactly the same!
Mao Mao's eyes widened!
She even slowed her breathing, as if the magic before her would vanish if she exerted the slightest force.
Lou Hongjian tucked the little white flower he had conjured into her little bun. Mao Mao tilted her head up to look, but couldn't see it, so she reached out her little hand and carefully touched it.
They are real flowers.
Mao Mao's hair clip is working!
Oh my god!
Mao Mao's brother is a deity!
"How did you do that?"
The ladies watching were also stunned: "Where's that hair clip?"
"Where did these flowers come from? How did they appear out of thin air?"
Even the old lady of the building leaned forward, staring in astonishment at the scene before her.
Lou Yansui recognized them as flowers growing in the family's flower garden.
But he didn't expose her, and watched as Third Brother continued to coax Mao Mao.
The magic of conjuring flowers hadn't worn off yet, and Lou Hongjian asked again, "Brother is a magician. No matter what Mao Mao wants, brother can conjure it up for you."
Mao Mao looked at him expectantly: "Really?"
Lou Hongjian: "Does Mao Mao want some candy?"
Mao Mao answered loudly, "Yes!"
Lou Hongjian smiled and opened his coat pocket, letting Mao Mao see the empty inside: "Mao Mao, believe it or not, as long as Mao Mao blinks, it will be filled with Mao Mao's favorite candy?"
Mao Mao's eyes sparkled as she nodded vigorously, almost causing the flower pinned to her little pigtail to fall off.
However, Mao Mao quickly shook her head.
“It’s empty inside.” She reached out her little hand and touched the empty space inside: “Brother, there’s nothing inside.”
"But my brother is a magician."
Lou Hongjian closed the pocket and covered it with his hand. "As long as Mao Mao counts to three, candy will appear inside."
Mao Mao couldn't wait to start counting: "One!"
"two!"
"three!"
All the ladies stared at them intently.
As soon as he finished counting to three, Mao Mao reached into his pocket. Lou Hongjian made a "clang clang" sound, and his hand loosened, revealing that the pocket was now bulging.
The bag was filled with Mao Mao's favorite colorful candies.
"Wow!"
Lou Hongjian smiled smugly, then poured out the candies, their colorful colors flooding Mao Mao. She grabbed one and put it in her mouth; it was indeed the familiar sweet taste.
Mao Mao was completely captivated by her brother's magic, and her eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at him.
Mao Mao's older brother is a magician!
Lou Hongjian took the opportunity to pull her into his arms. This time, Mao Mao did not resist and nestled her small body into his embrace with practiced ease.
"Mao Mao isn't angry with Third Brother anymore, okay? Brother didn't mean to scare you, he just wanted to sleep with you. I sincerely apologize. I'm sorry, Mao Mao." Lou Hongjian affectionately rubbed her little face: "Mao Mao, look, I'm a magician. If a real ghost comes to scare you in the future, I can use magic to drive it away."
With a sweet candy in her mouth, Mao Mao was soothed by the magic and, after hearing her brother's apology, all her little temper vanished.
"My brother is bad."
"Mmm, brother is naughty." Lou Hongjian grabbed her little hand and slapped it on his face: "Then Mao Mao hit me to vent her anger, don't ignore me."
He still had injuries on his face, how could Mao Mao bear to hit him?
Mao Mao carefully touched the bruise on his face, looking at him with concern: "Brother, does it hurt?"
"As long as Mao Mao forgives me, I won't feel any pain at all."
Mao Mao thought for a moment and said, "Then...then I'll forgive my brother."
Lou Hongjian immediately beamed with joy.
The brother and sister hugged each other affectionately, and became as close as before.
The other ladies then stepped forward and picked up a fallen candy from the sofa.
"It's real candy."
"Third Young Master can also perform magic tricks?"
"It's magic." Lou Hongjian glanced at his sister, and seeing that Mao Mao was focused on eating the candy, he took out a candy from his pocket that he hadn't poured out earlier. "It's Mao Mao's candy."
Now, Mao Mao's candy jar is empty; all the candy is here.
"Where's Mao Mao's hair clip?"
Lou Hongjian snapped his fingers, and the missing hairpin reappeared in his hand.
This drew another round of exclamations.
He put the hair clip back on Mao Mao's head.
The ladies exclaimed in surprise, "I was watching the whole thing, I didn't even dare to blink, but I still couldn't see clearly how it happened!"
"How did you do that?"
Lou Hongjian smiled but remained silent.
He put in a lot of hard work to learn this skill.
The essence of magic lies in its mystery, which keeps others guessing.
Fueled by this sense of mystery, Mao Mao idolized her brother immensely.
When Lou Dashuai and the others returned home, she had already become her brother's little tail, calling him "brother" repeatedly and asking him to turn into a little flower for her again.
As for ghosts?
Before the start of the school term, Lou Yansui quickly wrote her a new story.
Maomao also encountered a "ghost," but Maomao was very brave and quickly exposed the "ghost's" true face.
Ah, so he's just a charlatan trying to fool people.
