Demon City’s street market.
“Big Brother, I want that.” Pointing to the sugar gourd placed along one of the stalls, Di Ling Yan could not move her eyes away from the sweet delectable object that’s hovering before herself. However, instead of smiling and happily obliging, Bai Xiachen only showed a frown once he saw the item.
“Ling Yan be good, those sweets aren’t good for you, it will make your teeth rot. Here, I can give you my candy beans.” The boy says, trying to keep the girl in good health.
Naturally the candy beans he’s referring to are Dan pills concocted by Bai Yan.
Puckering up her little lips into an unhappy line: “I want the candy there. Big Brother buy me candy?”
As always, the peachy girl always wins once those tears started to roll. There’s no way the boy could refuse.
“Then only one, no more than that.” That said, Bai Xiachen picks up his little sister and went ahead to purchase one sugar gourd. “Here Ling Yan, your candy.”
Immediately, a burst of delighted giggle comes out of the baby’s mouth. But right as the two were about to continue shopping, a small little hand had reached over from the side to grasp at the older boy’s robe.
Looking down, Bai Xiachen’s view was promptly welcomed by Di Jin Tian’s baby fat face.
“Big Brother, I also want a sugar gourd, I want to eat too…”
“No,” he unmercifully rejects the request.
Three seconds, that’s all it took for the little glutton to break out into a crying fit that rocked the sky.
“I also want sweets, Big Brother bought Ling Yan one and won’t buy me, WAHHHHH!!! I also want to eat sugar gourds!”
Due to his belief that boys mustn’t be pampered; Bai Xiachen simply stood there with an indifference face to the tantrum throwing kid. But that wasn’t to say someone else wouldn’t be moved by the scene. Di Ling Yan was happily licking away at her own treat when she started to furrow up in the forehead.
“Here Second Brother, you can have some, don’t cry no more.” Though adamant to give up the delicious stick of candy in her hands, the peachy girl still decides to share in light of knowing what fate lies ahead for the item.
“But you can’t eat it all by yourself. You eat one gourd then its my turn. We are sharing so no hogging everything.” But a child would always be a child. The girl made sure to add this part after losing to her own desire.
Sure enough, the offer was able to promptly coax the twin boy back to normal. Without a second delay, the little glutton received the stick of sweets from his sister and took a huge bite out of the first one. A luster of happiness could be seen across the kid’s face in that moment.
“Ling Yan is so sensible.” Leaning down to give the girl a smooch across the cheek, Bai Xiachen compliments his little sister without a second thought.
Giggling at the contact: “Big Brother, Papa said I cannot let others kiss me along the face.”
“I’m your brother, and we’re family so it doesn’t matter. But if someone you don’t know tries to kiss you then you must reject them no matter what, okay? Make sure you remember that.”
This would be the boy’s way of teaching his sister on how to avoid being abducted by other men. It may not be the most effective but it’s one way to educate her from a young age.
Blinking in misunderstanding, the girl clearly didn’t quite get it yet: “Then what about Second Brother? Can he hug and kiss?”
