The surroundings were beautiful, but he didn't have the time to appreciate it. Speaking of which, why was Xiaoling in such a position now? She was lying on the tree like a spider, baring her fangs and brandishing her claws. She did not have any image at all. She looked at the basket tied to her body, which was already filled with a large pile of leaves. However, she still could not find the right size. Seeing that so many leaves might need to find the next year's idea, Xiaoling suddenly felt cheated. But Xiao Ying had no reason to lie to him. He seemed to be so logical.
The exhausted Xiaoling sat on a thick branch to rest. Looking down from above, she didn't expect to have climbed so high…Fortunately, she didn't have acrophobia, or she would be in big trouble. Thinking about it, he decided to look for it again. Where? Where? Leaves, leaves, large leaves... Suddenly, her eyes lit up. There were obviously a few huge leaves at the end of the tree trunk. Xiaoling was overjoyed.
In order to get closer to the big leaf, Xiaoling slowly moved her body out of the tree trunk. At this moment, the tree branch began to shake a little. Startled, Xiaoling slowed down even more. It would be dangerous if the tree branch broke.
"Hey, idiot! What are you doing up there? Come down quickly!" Ye, who could already feel the tree below, looked nervously at Xiaoling on the tree and shouted.
"What? Night, welcome home. Wait for me. Dinner will be ready soon.”Xiaoling smiled and greeted Night before slowly moving out of the tree branch.
"What meal? Come down quickly!" Seeing that Xiaoling was moving her body again, Night's heart was in his throat.
" I..." Xiaoling tried her best to pull her hand up, hoping to hook onto the leaves. At this moment, the branches suddenly shook violently, scaring Night into a panic.
"Stop moving and step back, idiot!”Night suddenly shouted.
"Leaves…I want to pluck the leaves…Ah!”Xiaoling accidentally slipped and fell backward. She closed her eyes in fear and waited for the pain to come. Seconds passed…The pain that she expected never happened. She felt her body go soft…
"When are you going to faint?" Ye's deep voice sounded by his ear, sounding rather displeased.
"Night? " You, you…" Xiaoling opened her eyes and saw Ye's ugly expression.
"Are you out of your mind? Why did you climb up the tree for no reason?" Night angrily roared.
"It's not that I'm fine. I just want to pluck the leaves.”
"You'd better explain yourself!" Ye Heng hugged Xiaoling and endured the pain in exasperation.
" Xiao Ying said that he wants to eat rice with leaves, so…"
"So you climbed up the tree to pick the leaves?”
" Yes…" Xiaoling was so scared that she didn't dare to look into Night's eyes. She could only nod slightly.
"Why are you wet?"
" Ah?..." At this moment, Xiaoling realized that Night was hugging her. It turned out that when she fell down, she was hugged by Night. No wonder it felt so comfortable. "Um…can you put me down first?”Because Xiaoling had already noticed that her heartbeat was a little abnormal.
"Why is it wet?" Night ignored Xiaoling's words and continued to ask.
"Because it fell into the river, of course it would be wet.”After hearing this, Night suddenly fell silent. He didn't let go of Xiaoling's hand, but his gaze made Xiaoling feel guilty. "Xiao Ying said he wanted to eat braised carp, so I went to catch it. Then, she accidentally slipped and got wet all over.”Night's gaze was too threatening. If she didn't tell the truth, he wouldn't let her go." Hey, I told you, put me down now!”After exchanging glances, Night ignored Xiaoling's shouts and carried her back to her room. Ye only put Xiaoling down when they reached the room. Xiaoling knew that if she ran away now, she would die even more miserably, so she could only stay where she was and watch Ye search for something in the cupboard.
After a while, Night took out his shirt and stuffed it into Xiaoling's hands. Xiaoling did not realize what was going on and could only stare blankly at the shirt in her hands.
"Change into it immediately!" Night left the room and closed the door behind her.
Xiaoling was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. She looked at the clothes in her hands and struggled to change into them. This was the clothes of the night. Could he really wear it? But if he didn't change, would Night get angry again? If he was angry, she would not be able to handle it. Thinking back to when they were not familiar with each other, it was fine if the two of them quarreled. But now that Ye had helped her so much, she could not go against him anymore. After much thought, Xiaoling finally decided to change into it obediently. Xiaoling changed her clothes and was about to leave the room when she heard Night's voice from afar. She listened carefully...
"Why did you do such a thing?"
"I hate idiots with low IQ the most.”
"I'll get someone to send you back immediately."
"I don't want to go back."
"I told you before, if you don't abide by the conditions, you have to go back immediately!”
"I know! I won't find trouble with her in the future, so I don't want to go back.”
Night sighed helplessly." I hope you remember what you said. Don't test my patience again."
"Night?" Xiaoling worriedly walked down the stairs. She knew that Xiao Ying had been criticized, so she was about to put in a good word for him.
But at this moment, the two people in the living room suddenly stared at Xiaoling in silence. This silence lasted for about ten seconds…
"Hey, you idiot, why are you wearing my brother's clothes?”Xiao Ying was the first to react. He excitedly pointed at Xiaoling's clothes.
"This…because my clothes were wet, I borrowed them to change.”Xiaoling had no idea why Xiao Ying was so agitated, so she replied matter-of-factly.
"You, you…I won't allow you to dress like this! What do you mean by walking around in front of me bare-legged? Do you know that I'm still underage?”Xiao Ying roared in exasperation.
" Ah?..." What nonsense was Xiao Ying spouting? Xiaoling was confused for a moment. She did wear clothes like that. Her clothes and pants were wet, and Night had only given her clothes. What was wrong with wearing them as a dress?
"Xiao Ying!" Ye rubbed his temples helplessly. These two words made Xiao Ying shut up immediately and not dare to speak again.
" Then I'll go prepare dinner for you…" Xiaoling was about to go to the kitchen when she was stopped by the old butler who had been standing beside her.
"Hehe, there's no need, Miss Xiaoling. Dinner is ready. Let's go and eat together!”
"What? Are you ready? But I haven't…"
"Young Master Xiao Ying was just joking with you. Actually, I don't know if those things can be eaten.”
"What?" Xiaoling was tongue-tied and looked at the old butler in disbelief.
"Miss Xiaoling, don't be angry with Young Master Xiao Ying. He's still a child.”
"Humph!" Xiao Ying couldn't stand it anymore and went to the dining table.
" No…" Xiaoling shook her head hard." I won't be angry, hehe."”
"Then let's go eat! Young Master Ye…"
"Okay, let's eat first."
When they reached the dining table, Xiaoling sat down beside Ye without much thought. After a tiring day, his stomach was growling with hunger. It was not easy for him to eat something to replenish his strength. At this moment, Xiao Ying was a little unhappy." Who asked you to sit next to Brother? Move aside."”
"Hmm?" Xiaoling had just put a piece of sushi into her mouth." What?”She asked vaguely as she ate her piece of Sushi.
" You idiot…" Xiao Ying glared at him and angrily ate the food in his hands.
"Wow, it's so delicious." Xiaoling had just swallowed the piece of Sushi when she exclaimed," Ye, you should try it too!”As she said that, Xiaoling picked up a piece of sushi from Night's bowl without hesitation.
Night suddenly felt overwhelmed by the favor. She stared blankly at Xiaoling, who was eating happily, and couldn't help but smile. Xiao Ying turned her head away unhappily and continued eating. Xiaoling didn't have any ill intentions as she put food into Xiao Ying's bowl. In fact, although she was angry at him, Xiao Ying was just a willful child who had run away from home. She shouldn't be calculative with him, so she let him have his way.
During the meal, Xiaoling noticed that Night and Xiao Ying were both silent, as if they were already used to it. When she was eating with her father at home, she would chat happily. But why did this family always feel so lonely and without sunshine? A thought flashed across her mind. Xiaoling suddenly hoped that she could bring happiness to this family. This thought also scared Xiaoling herself…
Xiaoling's work for the day was only completed when Xiao Ying fell asleep. He didn't expect a ten-year-old child to be so energetic. He shouldn't be deliberately causing trouble for him, right? She really hoped that Xiao Ying would like her and treat her like an older sister or younger brother. She had been alone for the past few years, so she didn't want such a young child to feel lonely anymore…
Xiaoling, who had only returned home in the middle of the night, was overwhelmed with fatigue. After taking a comfortable shower, she lay in bed and thought about everything that had happened today. It was all thanks to Night that she had saved him today. Otherwise, she would have been hospitalized if she had fallen from that place. Why is Ye so gentle to me? He was clearly looking for trouble with me before, so why does he make me feel so warm again?
