"Adults can also participate, but if they are caught, they will be slapped three times on the hand."

Ye Qingtao would not give Gu Jingming the opportunity to take advantage, and immediately changed the rules of the game.

"OK."

Although there are no hugs or holding hands, slapping the hands is another form of physical contact.

Ye Qingtao came to the kitchen to help, and the others quickly found a place to hide.

"Qingtao, are you playing games?"

Aunt Liu asked curiously, and Ye Qingtao nodded with a smile.

"That's great. Since you came, the atmosphere at home has improved a lot. The children have smiles on their faces, and even Jingming has become more lively."

Ye Qingtao didn't know how to respond, so she could only listen to Aunt Liu's chattering. Three minutes later, she was finally able to go out and look for it.

She searched the first floor first, leaving no room or corner unturned, even the utility room and bathroom, but she didn't see a single person.

Then I went to the second floor and searched everywhere, but still no one was there.

"Could they be on the roof?"

Ye Qingtao went up the stairs to the roof, but there was still no one there.

"Did they run away?"

Ye Qingtao touched his brow lightly, feeling that this was not very realistic.

She didn't rush to look for it, but sat on the stairs and thought.

Soon she discovered something suspicious: there were footprints in the utility room on the second floor, indicating that they had been there recently.

After he went there, he didn't come out. He either climbed down from the window or hid in the utility room.

Ye Qingtao came to the utility room again. She turned over some places where people could be hidden, and sure enough, she saw two little ones hiding inside.

"I found you two, didn't I?"

"Sister, you are so amazing. You found us even though we were hiding here."

Gu Xiuping was not angry at all when he was found, but rather a little excited.

Gu Xiu'an also grinned and laughed at him, and it was obvious that he was very happy as well.

Ye Qingtao welcomed them out with a smile, and she saw a suspended staircase at the window of the utility room.

Ye Qingtao retracted the stairs and then led the two children downstairs.

Now the people downstairs had nowhere to escape, and after Ye Qingtao's carpet search, they were successfully found quickly.

"I have found you all, please line up and come to accept your punishment."

Ye Qingtao hooked her fingers at the two little ones, and Gu Xiuping was the first to pounce on her.

Ye Qingtao opened her arms and held him in her arms, taking the opportunity to lower her head and listen to her heartbeat.

Even when he was so excited, Gu Xiuping's heartbeat was still slow and weak.

The actual situation of the child was even more grim than she had imagined.

She took his hand and carefully felt his pulse, which was also soft and weak.

This child is obviously in poor health, but he is still so lively and cheerful every day.

"Gu Xiuping, luckily you are an optimistic and cheerful little boy."

Ye Qingtao held him in her arms, patted his back, then let him go with a smile.

The next one was Gu Xiu'an. He walked timidly in front of Ye Qingtao and raised his head to look at her shyly.

Ye Qingtao took his little hand and pulled him into her arms.

Ye Qingtao first listened to the heartbeat and then felt the pulse.

Although they have exactly the same little face, their physical qualities are completely different.

Gu Xiu'an's heartbeat is normal, his pulse is strong, and his physical condition is excellent.

"Gu Xiu'an, how do you usually exercise? Why are you in such good health?"

Knowing that he couldn't speak, Ye Qingtao still took the initiative to talk to him.

Only by asking more questions and arousing his interest can you make him want to speak.

Only when you have an idea will you be willing to try it, and after many attempts you will slowly be able to speak.

After hearing her words, Gu Xiu'an was stunned at first, and then he was overjoyed.

Ye Qingtao let go of his hand, and Gu Xiu'an still looked a little lost when he walked to the side.

Gu Xiuyuan is already 8 years old, and he is a little hesitant about getting close to her.

Ye Qingtao waved at him, and Gu Xiuyuan quickly walked to her side.

The child had grown up, and Ye Qingtao could no longer listen to his heartbeat. She just held his hand a little longer.

She had already taken the pulse of the unconscious Gu Xiuyuan yesterday and had a general understanding of his physical condition.

Ye Qingtao let go of her hand, and Gu Xiuyuan raised his head and looked at her blankly.

"Sister, your hands are so warm."

He looked like he was reluctant to let go, and Ye Qingtao looked at him and chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.

It was Gu Jingming's turn. He walked with stiff steps and stood in front of Ye Qingtao with a slightly nervous look.

"Put your hand out with your palm open."

Gu Jingming did as he was told. He was not afraid of being spanked, but he was afraid that she would not spank him with her hands.

Ye Qingtao stared at his large, rough palm for a few seconds, then slowly spread out her small hands.

Gu Jingming's heart was pounding nervously, and Ye Qingtao suddenly looked up at Gu Xiuyuan.

"Xiuyuan, do you have a feather duster or a ruler at home?"

"Of course."

As soon as Gu Xiuyuan finished speaking, he turned and ran away. After a while, he was seen excitedly taking out a ruler.

Gu Jingming narrowed his eyes and looked at this treacherous little fellow.

Is he usually too nice to them? Or is he really that hateful?

Looking at the other two little guys, they also had gloating smiles on their faces.

Gu Jingming's eyes flickered and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It turns out that what you fear will come true!

"Sister, this is for you."

Gu Xiuyuan excitedly handed over the ruler and winked at her secretly.

"Sister, big brother often spanks us, you can do it too."

Gu Xiuyuan stared at Gu Jingming's perky buttocks again and again, and lowered his voice to give her hints.

Ye Qingtao felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this. She didn't say she wanted to spank Gu Jingming.

Gu Jingming looked at the ruler, and his generous hand shrank slightly. He took a step forward and whispered in Ye Qingtao's ear.

"I'm afraid of pain, please hit me more gently."

Gu Jingming winked at her, and the scent of pine came towards her.

Ye Qingtao's ears turned red uncontrollably, and she didn't even dare to look at him.

This man was over 1.80 meters tall, with muscles all over his body. He didn't even frown when he was hit by a bullet in the shoulder. It was just three hits on the palm of his hand, but he actually said he was afraid of pain?

"Stretch out your hands, don't pull back, I'm going to do it."

At Ye Qingtao's reminder, Gu Jingming let go of his hand again.

"I'm going to fight!"

"I'm going to fight!"

"I'm going to fight!"

Every time Ye Qingtao spoke, Gu Jingming frowned.

Ye Qingtao thought this was fun and just talked about it without doing anything.

"Stop scaring me. If you want to fight, just do it now."

Gu Jingming closed his eyes and resigned himself to letting her do whatever she wanted.

Ye Qingtao raised the ruler high and then hit him lightly three times.

"Okay, I'm done."

Ye Qingtao said in a relaxed tone, and there was an obvious flash of disappointment and relief in the children's eyes.

Ye Qingtao saw that they both wanted Gu Jingming to be beaten, but were reluctant to see him get beaten. What a group of contradictory yet adorable little guys!
