"This, this is Sisi's reward. Sisi is very cute. Second brother, please don't bully Sisi anymore, okay?"
The little girl kissed Helian Ci, and now, perhaps belatedly realizing it, she was a little shy. She lowered her head, her short legs tiptoeing and gently drawing circles on the ground.
The sound of the exit was soft and sweet, just like a bowl of strawberry smoothie on a hot summer day.
Sitting in his wheelchair, Helian Ci's long, pale fingers, resting on his brocade robe, twitched slightly.
A pair of dark eyes, like deep pools, fell upon the little girl's soft hair, and a slight tenderness stirred within him.
However, Helian Ci quickly overlooked this anomaly and spoke slowly in a slightly hoarse voice.
"not good."
This little coward is so funny, wouldn't it be a shame not to tease him to pass the time?
"Huh?"
Helian Si was stunned by Helian Ci's unconventional and illogical actions, and tilted his head back.
Her rosy cheeks and grape-like, moist eyes widened slightly, and her little mouth formed an "O" shape.
What happened to the promise that a little coquetry, cuteness, and warmth would turn hostility into friendship, and transform the sickly, sharp-tongued second prince by Daming Lake into a doting, warm-hearted brother?
So, are all the stories in storybooks just meant to fool five-year-olds?
"You ate the strawberries that were supposed to be mine, and now you expect me not to bully you? In broad daylight, you're dreaming."
Helian Ci, however, paid no attention to the little girl's expression, and slightly bent down.
Those dark eyes, like deep pools, met Helian Si's still-blinking, grape-like eyes, and a wicked smile crept across his sickly pale face.
His long, pale fingers pinched the girl's soft cheeks without any politeness, and he uttered these words in a slightly hoarse and low voice.
"But, but..." Those strawberry shaved ice were given to Sisi by you, Second Prince...
Mr. Sisi felt extremely wronged and aggrieved, but he was indebted to others for their food, and even more so to his sickly and sharp-tongued second brother by the Daming Lake.
Now I, Sisi, have truly experienced what it means to be a master of tricks. It turns out it was all a trap from beginning to end!
Helian Ci straightened up, his thin back still ramrod straight. He raised his eyes and spoke softly.
"No buts."
With an unquestionable tone, Helian Si pouted her little lips, then pouted again, finally meeting Helian Ci's deep, dark eyes...
Sisi didn't dare to utter a single word in rebuttal. Her little mouth pursed, her little head drooped slightly, and she spoke in a soft, sweet voice.
"Okay, okay, I'll lie down..."
Sitting in his wheelchair, Helian Ci's unusually red lips curled up slightly on his sickly pale face, clearly indicating that he was quite satisfied with Helian Si's submissive attitude.
Helian Ci, “…” Hmph, humble, weak, and cowardly.
Just then, the sound of palace servants bowing came from the entrance of Yongqing Palace.
"This servant greets Young Master Jinghua."
"Hmm, no need for formalities." Her clear and melodious voice, like a secluded orchid in a valley, brought a sense of peace and tranquility to the listener, as if they were in a secluded forest.
This instantly brightened the eyes of Sisi, who had been hanging her head and looking somewhat dejected.
She raised her little head to look at the source of the sound, and sure enough, she saw that slender, silver-white figure.
The little girl was overjoyed, her rosy cheeks beaming with happiness. "Oh my gosh! It's the teacher! The gentle and easy-going teacher!"
Compared to the sickly and sharp-tongued second prince by Daming Lake, he is simply a gentle and angelic teacher!
