Chapter 196: The Strange Pseudo-Romance Variety Show's Heartthrob (39)
"I'm not crying."
The little girl became even angrier when she heard that, and went over to take back her cookie, but the height difference was too big.
She couldn't flirt with Taowu unless he raised his hand.
Seeing that the girl's almond-shaped eyes looked even more pitiful, Taowu simply stuffed the biscuits into her hands, picked up the little girl with one hand and casually held her in his arms.
"Then why are you feeling so wronged?"
"Third brother wouldn't understand even if I told him."
The girl muttered softly, subconsciously avoiding the red-haired young man's gaze.
However, her hand holding the biscuit looked a little helpless, which perfectly betrayed her anxiety at the moment.
"Hmm? How old are you, little girl, and you already have your own little thoughts?"
Taowu held her and sat on the sofa. The man was calm and composed, and pinched the girl's cheek with one hand.
Qiao Xi is also very cute even though she has lost her memory.
They are so small that he can swallow five of them in one bite.
The little girl's face was pinched so much that it was deformed, she was forced to pout, and her speech became slurred.
"Brother Luo Zhu took me to play with Brother Ji from the neighboring family, but..."
The rest of the sentence was not finished.
Taowu clearly felt that the girl seemed to be afraid of something, so she shrank her body and lowered her head unconsciously.
He also built the scenes of Storybrooke.
It was closely related to him, no matter what happened, as long as he wanted to, Taowu would know.
The red-haired young man closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, and when he opened his eyes again, he understood.
Oh, it turned out that Luo Zhu did it.
Taowu wasn't surprised. This player had participated in the game twice before, so this was probably his third time. They had also gifted him a Reversal Card, which was considered a bit of a privilege.
But even so.
No matter how much power you are given, you are still an ordinary person, and in their eyes, you are no different from a clown.
"You're so timid, you're scared already?"
Taowu pinched her soft cheeks again, but the little girl hung her head and pursed her lips without saying a word. It was obvious that her secret had been touched upon.
"Hey, if you saw me, I would be scared to tears."
Taowu let go of her, crossed his arms and sighed in distress. Qiao Xi couldn't help but feel a little concerned when she saw him like this, and she also imitated Taowu's just now, stretching out her little hand to pinch his face.
"But Third Brother is handsome."
He is not the brother of the Ji family who is sleeping on the ground with his head falling to the other side.
Upon hearing this, Taowu immediately grabbed her hand and smiled, "Really? I don't believe it unless Xixi proves it."
How can this be proved?
Now it was Qiao Xi's turn to be in trouble.
When she saw the red-haired young man's eyes, filled with smiles, the girl hesitated and struggled, her hands clenched nervously. She put down the biscuit, and finally seemed to have made up her mind.
She closed her eyes, mustered up the courage to move forward and took a loud smack.
It was imprinted exactly on the young man's face.
After taking a sweet smack, the little girl opened her eyes and looked at him cautiously.
As if to make him believe her, Qiao Xi whispered again: "Third brother is really handsome, I like him..."
As soon as the words fell.
The originally peaceful atmosphere froze in an instant, and the smile in Taowu's eyes slowly faded until it disappeared completely, replaced by a deeper, more indescribable emotion.
More different emotions spread from the depths of his pupils.
"So good."
There was a low laugh with an ambiguous meaning in the slightly hoarse voice.
The red-haired young man raised his hand and stroked the girl's cheek, his warm palm against her soft side. The little girl subconsciously looked up at him, somewhat confused.
Taowu approached her.
The tense atmosphere instinctively made Qiao Xi sense some danger, and her alertness quickly increased, making the girl subconsciously want to guard against his approach.
But there was no threat at all to her defense.
"Don't be nervous, Xixi. Third brother likes you too." Taowu chuckled and approached her, his low and hoarse voice tinged with some unknown emotions.
A warm breath hits my face.
The girl seemed to be scared but unable to escape. She could only tense her body, close her eyes and tremble slightly.
What is this...for?
Just when she was getting extremely nervous, the expected injury did not come as expected.
A light, tender, clumsy kiss.
It fell on her cheek.
Qiao Xi's mind went blank for a moment. When she opened her eyes, she saw her third brother retreating unnaturally with a slightly red face.
There was no smell of danger.
It seemed as if everything was just an illusion, and the third brother turned his head coolly to avoid her sight as if he was hiding his shyness.
"Don't get me wrong, I just don't want to owe you anything, it's just a matter of reciprocity."
It seemed like all the tension I felt just now was an illusion.
The little girl was also confused for a moment.
When she came to her senses, there was already a warm big hand on her head, rubbing her head slightly roughly but gently, ruffling her hair.
Qiao Xi immediately became angry.
She quickly chased away the big hand that was ruffling her hair. Her emotions came and went quickly, and she no longer thought about the strange things she had just felt.
"Third brother is cheating!"
"No way. You can fight back. Don't endure it when you're bullied. Fight back when you should. If that kid bullies you, just beat him up."
The two of them were arguing with each other.
When Qiongqi came back from work, he opened the door and walked into the living room, just in time to see Taowu holding the little girl's head with one hand. The girl couldn't reach him with her two short hands, so she could only stare in anger.
As for Taowu.
He was very unmannerly and even tried to provoke and mock the little girl.
As a result, Qiao Xi jumped up and pounced on him to bite him.
Then Taowu was caught off guard and lost his balance, and the two rolled off the sofa. Taowu used as a cushion to protect Qiao Xi from hitting her, but he himself fell hard.
Qiongqi: “…”
He was silent.
He took a deep breath and rubbed his forehead, then Qiongqi looked at Taowu, who was lying on the ground with his teeth bared, and smiled kindly and cordially.
"Third brother, you are already grown up, why are you still making trouble with a child?"
Hearing this voice, Taowu's back stiffened.
He quickly held Qiao Xi and sat up. They were originally souls. They actually didn't feel any pain from the fall, and even if they were seriously injured, they wouldn't die.
The girl still buried her head in the red-haired young man's chest.
Her head hurt a little from hitting it, and after hearing Qiongqi's voice, she subconsciously turned her head to look over. Then the little girl bent her eyes and showed a bright smile.
“Big brother!”
She struggled to jump out of Taowu's arms, ran towards Qiongqi in a few steps, and reached out to grab the other's clothes.
Taowu let out a "tsk" sound when he saw this.
"You little heartless boy, I've been playing with you for so long."
Qiao Xi looked over when she heard this, and her expression instantly turned fierce: "No, it's obvious that Third Brother is a bully!"
Qiongqi had no choice but to block Qiao Xi's sight.
In order to prevent the little girl from getting too serious and falling into Taowu's trap, he did not forget to comfort the angry little girl.
"Xixi, aren't you always bored? I've already registered you for school. You'll meet a lot of other kids like you."
Qiao Xi: “…”
Then she is so happy.
The little girl immediately revealed a surprised expression: "Really? Then I don't have to play with Brother Luo Zhu anymore?"
"Of course, if you don't like playing with him, then don't play with him."
Qiongqi bent one knee and squatted down. He straightened the girl's collar and said with a smile, "Xixi, you have a few brothers like us, that's enough. Don't bother with those neighbors anymore."
“…Oh, alright.”
