"Father, why can't I pull it?"
"Because he's too heavy."
These words petrified Qin Jingke, who was kneeling on the ground.
Instead, Qin Jingke looked at Qin Jue and said, "Where am I heavy? I'm still a child. It's just that I can't get up because I'm kneeling here. Otherwise, my sister could easily pull me up at any other time."
Little Xi blinked her eyes in confusion, "Daddy, can you help me pull Keke up?"
Qin Jue was happy to hear Xiao Xi'er ask for his help, but he didn't really want to involve Qin Jingke.
Qin Jue then looked expressionlessly at the kneeling mother and son, and said, "Get up."
Upon hearing that they could rise, the mother and son quickly stood up, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty/Father."
"Um"
After everyone stood up, Xiao Xi walked up to Qin Jingke, compared her own height with her hands, and then compared Qin Jingke's height with her hands.
Wow, I'm taller than you!
"Mmm, big sister is so awesome!"
Look at Qin Jingke, he has no bottom line. Xiao Xi'er said he was short, and he got proud of it, praising Xiao Xi'er.
Qin Jue showed a disdainful expression, feeling even more disgusted with his son, but he chose to ignore him out of consideration for the fact that he was his own flesh and blood.
"Sister, Mother said you were sick. Are you feeling better now?"
The naive Qin Jingke thought he would recover from his illness quickly, and looked at Xiao Xi'er with bright eyes.
What is being sick?
Poor little Xi'er doesn't even know what being sick means, but she's not the only one who doesn't know.
"Sister, I don't know either..."
The more Qin Jingke talked, the more aggrieved he felt. In the end, for some reason, Qin Jingke just burst into tears.
"Waaaaah"
The people who saw Qin Jingke crying had different expressions. Qin Jue felt that Qin Jingke was a better son than someone who cried all the time; it was just too annoying.
On the other hand, Xiao Liyun became worried. Well... not because she was worried about why Qin Jingke was crying, but because she was worried that Qin Jingke had upset Xiao Xi'er and wouldn't want to see her again.
Looking at Xiao Xi'er, she was completely bewildered. Xiao Xi'er looked at Qin Jingke helplessly, stood on tiptoe, stretched out her little hand, and patted Qin Jingke's drooping head.
"Keke, don't cry."
"Daddy said that crying will make you ugly."
Qin Jingke, who was crying his heart out, immediately shut his mouth upon hearing that crying would make him ugly. His tears stopped, and his face was filled with fear.
"What should I do, sister? My nest has become ugly!"
Look how heartbroken Qin Jingke is, biting his lip to hide his sadness.
"If I become ugly, will you not like me anymore, sister?"
"Keke hasn't become ugly, I like Keke."
Standing behind Xiao Xi'er, Qin Jue's face darkened. Qin Jingke then thought of another problem.
"Sister, I'm so stupid, I can't answer any of your questions. Will you dislike me?"
"No, I like Keke the most!"
As she spoke, Xiao Xi'er stepped forward and hugged Qin Jingke.
This made Qin Jingke extremely happy.
Xiao Liyun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Xiao Xi'er also liked Qin Jingke; it seemed she would be able to see Xiao Xi'er more often in the future.
On the contrary, when Qin Jue heard Xiao Xi'er say "I like Qin Jingke the most," his face turned so dark it could drip ink. He immediately pulled Xiao Xi'er into his arms.
Suddenly being picked up, Xiao Xi'er blinked in confusion. Qin Jingke, who was on the ground, saw Qin Jue picking up Xiao Xi'er and wanted Qin Jue to put her down.
Qin Jue, without batting an eye, tried to fool Xiao Xi'er, saying, "Xiao Xi'er, you're still sick, you can't stand for too long."
"Aoao"
Believing it to be true, Xiao Xi'er didn't notice anything amiss. Then, Xiao Xi'er looked down at Qin Jingke, as if she wanted to say something.
Xiao Xi'er didn't say anything because Qin Jue interrupted her.
"Is Little Xi'er hungry? How about Daddy takes Little Xi'er to eat?"
"good"
Xiao Xi'er's attention was immediately drawn back to Qin Jue, who carried her towards the dining table.
Sitting on Qin Jue's arm, Xiao Xi'er leaned weakly against him. After a while, she seemed to remember something and nestled against his arm.
Standing there, Qin Jingke watched Xiao Xi'er leave, his face filled with reluctance. However, upon hearing Xiao Xi'er's voice, Qin Jingke immediately cheered up.
"Keke, let's go eat together!"
"Okay, sister."
Ignoring everything else, Qin Jingke ran and caught up with Qin Jue.
Although Qin Jue, who was holding Xiao Xi'er, didn't want anyone else to eat with them, seeing how happy Xiao Xi'er was made all the difference.
"Aren't you going to hurry up and catch up? If you're not going to eat, then get back to your own chambers!"
Upon hearing Qin Jue's words, Xiao Liyun, who had been standing frozen in place, immediately strode after him.
She kept looking at Qin Jingke with admiring eyes, thinking to herself that bringing Qin Jingke along was definitely the right decision. It seemed she would be able to see Xiao Xi'er more often in the future.
As Xiao Liyun kept imagining the wonderful future, a smile crept onto her face.
Xiao Liyun and Qin Jingke thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Although Qin Jue didn't like Xiao Liyun, seeing that Xiao Xi'er liked Xiao Liyun and her son, he became more tolerant.
After finishing her meal, Xiao Xi jumped down from Qin Jue's arms and reached for Qin Jingke's hand, wanting to play with him.
However, Qin Jue firmly refused.
"Why, Daddy? I just want to play for a little while, okay?"
