Fortunately, his mommy was silly and sweet. He could easily coax her. Otherwise, he would probably lose his ear.
Little Yichen was secretly delighted and settled down as well. Yueyao reached for the fries, clearly wanting them. Youyou immediately got her a piece of french fry. When Little Yichen saw this, he too got her one and presented it to her as if presenting a treasure.
Two pieces of fries were now placed before her, one held in Youyou’s hand, the other held in Little Yichen’s hand. Without hesitation, Yueyao grabbed Youyou’s hand and ate the fry with relish.
Fortunately, Little Yichen was not a puppy. If his ears had been long enough, they would have drooped by now.
“Doesn’t the fry from me taste good?” Little Yichen looked at her pitifully, like a puppy wagging its tail. “Why don’t you want my fry?” he whined.
Yueyao said in a childish voice, “Your hand isn’t as good-looking as Little Big Brother’s.”
“…”
Was that even a reason!? Little Yichen looked at his hands, then at Youyou’s. They weren’t exactly the same, but they did not differ by much!
“Which part of it doesn’t look good?” Little Yichen was indignant and pouted, but he was also deliberately teasing Yueyao.
Yueyao immediately reached over with her oily hand and turned her brother’s palm face-up. She pointed to the rough calluses that had grown on his palm and said, “Look, it doesn’t look as good as Little Big Brother’s hands right here.”
Youyou frowned slightly at this. The only major difference between Little Yichen’s hand and his own was probably the palm. Youyou’s palm was clean and pristine, but Little Yichen’s palm was inevitably calloused from the training at the special training camp that Mu Yazhe had thrown him into as a child.
Little Yichen looked at this and suddenly smiled. “But I can protect you!” he said to Yueyao. “In the future, if anyone dares to bully my little sister, I can take them down with one hand!”
Yueyao was so amused that she laughed, showing her cute little front teeth. It made her look like a naughty little rabbit. Little Yichen could not help looking at her fondly.
Several times, looking at Yueyao like this, he had the urge from deep within, to want to give her the best of everything in the world. However, after thinking about it, wasn’t this cute sister the best?
Little Yichen asked again, “Do you want this fry, then?”
“I want … that!” Little Yueyao pointed at the tomato sauce.
The boy immediately squeezed a little ketchup and dipped the fry in it.
When Yueyao saw this, she got excited and said, “More! More!”
She knew the sauce was delicious, but until now, she hadn’t been able to pronounce the word “ketchup” skillfully.
Little Yichen taught her, “This is ‘ketchup’.”
“Ketchup …”
“Yeah, that’s right.” The boy brought the fry to her mouth.
Yueyao’s mouth immediately fell open, afraid that the sauce would get on her lips. She was a cleanliness freak. However, no matter how big her mouth was, it was still too small and the sauce stained the corner of her lips.
“Aiya…” Yueyao frowned. “It’s been dirtied!”
Little Yichen immediately picked up a tissue and coaxed, “I’ll clean you up. Don’t move.”
The girl obediently kept still. Pouting, she waited for him to wipe her clean.
Youyou found this scene amusing and was at a loss for a reaction. “Stop wiping it. You’ll get more on your mouth later. Can’t we wipe it off together?” If he were to wipe her mouth now, she’d only dirty it again and he would have to clean her again later.
