"Let Sisi see, are the fragrant roasted sweet potatoes almost ready?"
Helian Mousi's little bottom had just sat down on that bamboo stool, his fluffy little head...
She couldn't wait to move forward and see if the sweet potatoes in the fire were almost cooked, but just as her little body moved forward, she was pulled back by a pair of slightly cool hands.
Helian Si turned his head curiously, meeting Helian Ci's dark eyes filled with a hint of helplessness. He tilted his head in surprise.
"What's wrong with Second Brother?"
Helian Ci helplessly raised his hand and gently rubbed his forehead, his long, pale fingers pointing to the campfire.
He then tapped the little girl's smooth forehead, and spoke in a slightly hoarse voice with a hint of helplessness.
"If you come any closer, your tuft of hair will be burned off. Don't you care about your stunning beauty?"
Helian Ci knew the girl all too well how much she valued her beauty, and his words only hit her sore spot.
Sure enough, the little girl's previously smug face suddenly widened in surprise.
The little girl covered her soft hair with her short hands in fear, and when she found that her beautiful hair was still there, she breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Then, under Helian Ci's teasing gaze, and the amused and fond looks of the others, the little girl picked up the small stool from under her bottom with her short arms and quietly moved back a little.
Once she felt the distance was about right, the little girl put the small bamboo stool back down.
"This is too scary! This is too scary! Sisi's stunning beauty was almost lost!"
After the little girl sat down, she patted her small, chubby little hands with a serious expression, looking like she was still shaken.
Helian You's lips curved slightly, and his sickly pale face gained a touch of gentle warmth under the bright moonlight.
Fortunately, although the campfire was small, it did not disappoint Helian Mou Sisi.
Before long, the fragrant roasted sweet potatoes were dug out of the fire by Yue'er.
Break open the slightly charred skin of the sweet potato, and inside is the golden-brown, fragrant sweet potato flesh.
That little girl, Sisi, was so greedy. She sat on a bamboo stool, drooling as she sucked on her food.
The little girl eagerly tried to take it, but the five-year-old's skin was too delicate, so Yue'er was worried. She wrapped the sweet potato skin in a handkerchief before handing the roasted sweet potato to the little girl.
"Awoo~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
Helian Si took it and eagerly opened his little mouth to take a bite, burning the little girl with the heat.
The roasted sweet potatoes smelled so sweet and delicious, and I couldn't bear to spit them out, so I just slurped them up while breathing out the hot steam. I looked so cute.
Sitting in his wheelchair, Helian Ci accepted a roasted sweet potato wrapped in a handkerchief from a palace maid, his gaze lingering on the little girl.
Seeing the little girl's pitiful appearance, a smile curved his lips on his sickly pale face, and a hint of laughter appeared in his dark eyes, which were like a deep pool.
A cold finger reached out and gently tapped the little girl's pert little nose, and a hoarse voice couldn't help but tease her.
"Little glutton."
Helian Si was enjoying his delicious roasted sweet potato when he blinked his bright eyes, tilted his head, and looked at Helian Ci.
"Huh? You little glutton? Second Brother, are you talking about Sisi?"
Helian Ci's smile deepened in his dark eyes; deliberately teasing the little girl, he spoke.
"Otherwise, are there other little gluttons here, hmm?"
