Yue's body stiffened slightly, and tears welled up in the eyes of the water cub. He looked up and said pitifully, "I didn't mean to drop it. I just didn't hold it firmly~"
He said in a sullen tone, and pressed himself against Zhao Zhao's neck like a spoiled child: "I'm sorry~"
If Ye saw Yue's behavior here, he would probably call her a green tea bitch again.
"It's okay." Zhao Zhao was not angry. He was just talking about the matter at hand.
Compared with other exquisite and precious gifts, the stone he gave was indeed not outstanding, so it was normal that the cub did not like it.
Yue looked up and observed his expressionless face. After all, his mental state was still weak. Even though he was smarter than the average child, he still couldn't tell anything from that face.
They couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, and for a moment, the two of them were quiet.
Yue didn't like the silence. He hugged Zhao Zhao's neck and asked softly, "Why did you suddenly appear beside me?"
In fact, he wanted to ask more how Zhao Zhao found him.
After using his mental power to snatch the stone from Ye's hand, the precocious cub learned how to hide himself with mental power without any instruction. Unfortunately, his location was soon discovered by Zhao Zhao.
"Stone, you can summon me to your side." Zhao Zhao said in a light tone, not hiding the truth: "Don't summon me if you don't need anything in the future."
The cub said "Oh". At the moment, he didn't know what it meant to be able to summon Zhao Zhao, so naturally he didn't take it too seriously.
He thought to himself that he should not carry this stone with him in the future. After all, he did not want to be found by someone at any time and anywhere.
In the garden, Xi Yan supported his chin and casually flipped through the "History of Beasts". His posture was elegant and dignified. Even though the two cubs beside him were gone, he remained calm and composed.
Until, I sensed a familiar mental power.
He slowly raised his head and looked in the direction where Zhao Zhao was about to appear, with a puzzled look on his face.
Not long after, the white-haired boy holding the cub slowly walked towards him, looking at him with his emerald green eyes, still without much emotion.
Xi Yan's purple eyes softened: "Little one, didn't I tell you to rest?"
It has only been two hours, but I didn't expect to see Zhao Zhao again in the palace.
Yue pouted and said aggrievedly, "Why don't you go and have a rest? I want Brother Zhao Zhao to accompany me."
Xiyan ignored him and continued looking at Zhaozhao.
The boy sat down beside him, and the cub was put down with him. "I'll be right back."
Zhao Zhao was helpless and asked again: "Where is Ye?"
Xi Yan chuckled: "This kid was just mumbling something about a missing stone, then ran out and said he wanted to settle the score with Yue."
Meeting the meaningful gaze in Zi's eyes, Yue raised her eyebrows and smiled, with a hint of provocation on her childish face.
Zhao Zhao frowned: "How long has he been gone?"
"One hour."
The boy's mental power expanded and he discovered Ye sleeping in the flowers not far away.
Xi Yan certainly knew Ye's location, but he was not in a hurry to find him. At this time, he was holding Yue captive and pressing the cub, whose eyes were starting to roll again, in front of the desk to read.
Among the Five Phoenixes, there are currently only two newly born cubs, Yue and Ye. Therefore, there are no schools for the cubs to study, and they can only teach knowledge and etiquette themselves.
Zhao Zhao stopped disturbing them, went to the flowers, and carried Ye back to his sleeping room.
The cub is sleepy, and as long as Ye doesn't make trouble, Zhao Zhao won't force the cub to study non-stop. He will just eat when he's ready and sleep when he's ready.
After covering him with a blanket, Zhao Zhao was about to leave. The alert Ye noticed the familiar scent leaving his nose and immediately opened his eyes.
He was half-conscious, half-drowsy, and looked up at the indifferent boy with a relaxed expression: "Why are you back again?"
Zhao Zhao thought he didn't want to see him and urged him to leave, so he pulled away the cub's hand that was holding his sleeve and said, "I'm leaving now."
"etc!"
"Bang!"
Ye moved too hastily and fell off the bed. With a loud "bang", a bump immediately appeared on his forehead.
The sleepiness completely disappeared, and then a feeling of grievance hit me: "Why are you walking so fast? Don't you want to see me?"
Although the words were questions, the tone was firm.
It's like he was born to talk like this.
Zhao Zhao didn't go forward, but looked coldly at the cub's red eyes.
Bumps and bruises are normal. For a Fire Phoenix cub with a very good physique, the bump on the head will disappear immediately.
Zhao Zhao ignored everything that did not threaten the young master's health.
Ye didn't cry, but became angry again and glared at Zhao Zhao fiercely.
"Is there anything else?" Zhao Zhao asked, her emerald green eyes looking a little cold.
Ye started questioning again: "Why don't you care about me when I'm hurt, and why don't you comfort me when I'm angry!"
Zhao Zhao: "Your injury is not serious, there is no need to worry about it. At the same time, you are angry every moment, and I don't want to comfort you every moment."
"But, but...why do other people care about you when you're injured, even if it's nothing serious!"
Zhao Zhao was confused, and Ye was angry: "I know, you just don't like me!" Because I don't like you, I don't care, so I don't care!
Once this idea comes into my mind, I can no longer control my fantasies.
Zhao Zhao remained noncommittal: "Isn't it normal that I don't like you?" He looked at the unreasonable cub with cold eyes, still so ruthless.
The reason why he looked after Ye and Yue was, firstly, because they were the young masters of the Phoenix clan, and secondly, because they were tasked with the task.
It's just because of responsibility, as for liking it?
He really couldn't like the two naughty cubs in a short time.
At present, he only holds a businesslike attitude towards Yue and Ye. There are only tasks, no feelings.
Ye felt as if the sky had fallen when he heard this. His face flushed: "If you don't like me, then I don't like you. I hate you."
The tone was not as strong as it had been in the previous two days, and one could even sense the cub's loss if one listened carefully.
"Oh." Zhao Zhao turned and left.
Seeing that he was really moving forward without stopping, Ye hesitated for a moment and then quickly caught up with him: "Where are you going? Aren't you going to sleep with me?"
The cubs are immature and their anger comes and goes quickly.
"The Great Elder is taking care of you now." The implication was that he wanted Xi Yan to sleep with him.
Zhao Zhao quickened his pace. He suddenly felt the presence of the Third Elder, Nan Yu. Then he remembered that before he was summoned to the palace, he was about to accompany Nan Yu on an outing.
"I don't want the Great Elder, I just want you to accompany me!"
Ye hugged his legs again, and the unruly cub started shouting again.
"As long as you stay with me, I'll be good to you, okay?" He compromised and lowered his voice slightly.
Zhao Zhao was surprised and looked down at the cub with its head lowered beside his legs: "Why?"
"Is the Great Elder not good?"
The elder Zhao Zhao admires most is the Great Elder. No matter from which aspect, the Great Elder is the best.
"Who cares whether he's good or not!" Ye rolled his eyes, and seeing that Zhao Zhao didn't let go, he "plop" turned into a small black and gold fire phoenix.
The tender and small wings flapped and landed on Zhao Zhao's shoulders.
