Ruan Qiuping: ... No, let me explain...
Huh? … Wait, why did he have to explain
Ruan Qiuping coughed lightly, pointed at Ruan Dongdong who was playing in the mud beside him, and said, "Meet my super cute and most beautiful sister in the world - Ruan Dongdong. To be precise, I didn't raise her, but my parents did. I'm just taking care of her temporarily."
Ahem... Why did I explain it unintentionally
Upon hearing his name, Ruan Dongdong immediately turned his head and smiled at Ruan Qiuping, revealing a face covered in mud.
Ah, there are some mud spots on my sister's little face, she is so cute.
Wait a moment.
Ruan Qiuping stood in front of Ruan Dongdong and narrowed his eyes at Xiao Yuhuan: "I'm warning you in advance. No matter how cute my sister is, you are not allowed to have any improper thoughts about her!"
Little Yuhuan glanced at Ruan Dongdong, who was covered in mud.
A look of disdain and indifference.
Ruan Qiuping patted the closed iron gate tentatively with his hand, then turned his head to look at Xiao Yuhuan inside the door and asked, "Are you still thinking about running away from home?"
Little Yuhuan shook his head, looking very calm: "No, I've grown up and I'm not as childish as before."
Ruan Qiuping couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Xiao Yuhuan frowned: "What are you laughing at?"
"Ahem... No, nothing."
It just feels awkward to see a 6-year-old kid saying such things with a calm expression.
"Then can you go out freely?" Such a remote villa, such a high wall, a locked door, and the bodyguard who turned his head from time to time to look at this side with a vigilant face... No matter how he looked at it, he felt that little Yuhuan would not be very free.
Sure enough, Xiao Yuhuan lowered his head and shook it gently.
"Wait a moment, I'll ask them to let you in." Xiao Yuhuan said.
Immediately afterwards, Ruan Qiuping saw Xiao Yuhuan turn around and say something to the bodyguard next to him.
The bodyguard remained expressionless and shook his head.
Xiao Yuhuan said something again and gestured for the bodyguard to bend down.
The bodyguard bent down, and Xiao Yuhuan whispered something in his ear. Then, Xiao Yuhuan took out a small, sparkling thing that looked like a diamond from his pocket and put it in the bodyguard's right hand.
The bodyguard hesitated for a moment. After a few seconds, he clenched his right hand, walked over with a somewhat unnatural expression, and opened the door for Ruan Qiuping.
Ruan Qiuping was stunned.
Entering the villa, Ruan Qiuping couldn't help but ask Yu Huan, "What were you doing just now?"
"I took off the diamond cufflinks from my dress and gave them to him, in order to get him to let you in." Xiao Yuhuan paused and said, "It's a bribe in short."
Ruan Qiuping looked at Xiao Yuhuan, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
Xiao Yuhuan lowered his head, his dark eyelashes casting shadows under his eyes.
He pursed his lips slightly and glanced at Ruan Dongdong, who was still squatting in the garden playing in the mud after entering the villa. His expression was full of sarcasm that did not belong to his age: "Why, do you think I am not as innocent and naive as your sister?"
"… Um."
Ruan Qiuping nodded blankly.
Xiao Yuhuan didn't expect that Ruan Qiuping actually nodded. He widened his eyes slightly, opened his mouth, but said nothing. He quickly closed his lips tightly, turned around, and ran upstairs without looking back.
Ruan Qiuping caught up with him: "Wait for me!"
"Go play with your innocent sister!" Xiao Yuhuan said coldly.
Ruan Qiuping lowered his head and laughed softly again.
"Are you making fun of me again?" Xiao Yuhuan turned his head and asked angrily.
"How could that be?" Ruan Qiuping argued, "I just think you're cute."
Little Yuhuan's eyes widened instantly, first his ears turned red, and then his whole face turned red.
He blinked, as if a little embarrassed, but still couldn't help but ask carefully: "...Is she cuter than your sister?"
"Not really." Ruan Qiuping replied without hesitation.
Xiao Yuhuan: “…”
Seeing that Xiao Yuhuan was about to get angry again, Ruan Qiuping hurriedly said, "But you are definitely the cutest little boy in the world!"
Xiao Yuhuan's complexion looked better.
Ruan Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and for a moment, he felt that he was almost turning into a teacher in the kindergarten class who was being pulled between two children.
but…
Ruan Qiuping looked at the back of Xiao Yuhuan's round head and whispered in his heart:
But now, this child finally looks a bit childish and lively like an ordinary child.
Ruan Qiuping sat in a pavilion not far from Ruan Dongdong, drinking the juice that the servant had just brought. He looked around the huge villa and asked, "Are your parents out working? When will they be back?"
"They are all away, I live alone." said Xiao Yuhuan.
Ruan Qiuping was a little incredulous: "You live alone? How can that be possible?"
Xiao Yuhuan lowered his head and took a sip of juice, then said, "… There are nannies and servants here, and there are tutors who come here regularly every day. There's nothing wrong with me living here alone."
Ruan Qiuping frowned.
Why does he feel that this house is weird
"Aren't you cold?" Xiao Yuhuan suddenly asked.
"cold?"
Xiao Yuhuan pointed at the short-sleeved shirt on Ruan Qiuping and said, "It's already October."
Only then did Ruan Qiuping realize that the servants and bodyguards around them, as well as Xiao Yuhuan, were all wearing coats. Only Ruan Qiuping and Ruan Dongdong were still wearing short sleeves and skirts like two fools.
Ruan Qiuping is a deity over 200 years old, so he can still bear this cold. But Ruan Dongdong doesn't have much magical power, so I don't know if he can bear this temperature.
"Does your family have thick clothes that Dongdong can wear?" Ruan Qiuping asked.
Xiao Yuhuan nodded.
Ruan Qiuping stood up and shouted to Ruan Dongdong, "Dongdong, stop playing. Let's go take a shower and change into some thick clothes!"
Ruan Dongdong turned her head and saw Ruan Qiuping, and suddenly thought of something. She excitedly called him "Brother", then picked up the mud ball in her hand and threw it at Ruan Qiuping!
After being hit by the mud ball, Ruan Qiuping shouted exaggeratedly: "Ah! I'm dead--", and then fell to the ground.
Ruan Dongdong clapped his hands and giggled happily.
Ruan Qiuping stood up and continued to walk towards Ruan Dongdong. Ruan Dongdong threw mud balls at him again. Every time, Ruan Qiuping cooperated and fell to the ground pretending to be dead.
After a while, they played seven or eight rounds back and forth.
"Aren't you bored?" Little Yuhuan turned his head away from them and whispered, "So boring... so childish."
"Bang!" Suddenly something hit Xiao Yuhuan's head.
Xiao Yuhuan was stunned for a moment, then he covered his head and looked at the culprit - Ruan Dongdong who threw the mud ball.
Ruan Dongdong seemed to realize that she had thrown the ball to the wrong person, and that person was looking at her fiercely. She was a little scared, and immediately stood there, holding her hands, and stopped talking.
Little Yuhuan continued to stare at Ruan Dongdong viciously. Ruan Dongdong was so scared that he trembled all over and ran behind his brother.
"Brother... That little brother is so scary—"
Ruan Dongdong said in a low voice.
As soon as she finished speaking, she found that the young man's expression became even more terrifying.
Ruan Qiuping immediately felt something was wrong.
No, if we don’t do something, these two kids might start fighting.
Ruan Qiuping quickly said to Ruan Dongdong: "Dongdong, go and apologize to the little brother."
Ruan Dongdong ran to Xiao Yuhuan and bowed to apologize: "Little brother, I'm sorry..."
"Who is your little brother!" Little Yu Huan didn't appreciate it at all.
Ruan Qiuping sighed, children are really hard to coax.
He walked up to Yu Huan, took a look at the place where he was hit, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"
Xiao Yuhuan said in a low voice: "... a little bit."
Ruan Qiuping reached out his hand and gently rubbed the spot on his head where he was hit: "Does it feel better after rubbing it?"
"Better..."
Ruan Qiuping rubbed him for a while, then imitated the way his mother usually comforted Ruan Dongdong and said, "Hu-hu-it doesn't hurt anymore. The pain has gone away."
“… So childish.” Little Yuhuan said with red ears.
Ruan Dongdong, who was standing not far away, blinked, then suddenly ran over with his short legs and stopped in front of Yu Huan.
She stretched out her right hand, which was bruised by the pebbles when she was grabbing mud, looked at Ruan Qiuping and said, "Brother, it hurts too. I want to rub it and blow on it."
"call-"
Ruan Qiuping leaned over and blew on her hand.
"I need to rub it more..."
Ruan Qiuping hesitated for a moment and said, "Dongdong, rub it yourself, okay? Brother can't touch you."
"Why? Why, why can't my brother touch me?"
Ruan Qiuping opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.
Ruan Dongdong pursed his lips and his voice became very aggrieved: "Brother never touches me... and never hugs me. My hands hurt, brother... brother doesn't rub them for me, but rubs them for others..."
Ruan Dongdong said a long string of words with difficulty. She looked at Ruan Qiuping, then at Xiao Yuhuan, her eyes a little red. At this moment, Xiao Yuhuan sneered, which was heard by Ruan Dongdong.
Ruan Dongdong bit her lip, suddenly walked up, pushed Yu Huan angrily, and said loudly: "Go away, this is my brother, not your brother!"
Little Yuhuan was pushed defenselessly and fell backwards. Fortunately, Ruan Qiuping hugged him and prevented him from falling.
Little Yuhuan looked at Ruan Dongdong's appearance, and remembered what Ruan Qiuping had just said, that Ruan Dongdong was the cutest in the world, and suddenly he became a little angry.
What do you mean the cutest sister in the world? Is this your cutest sister in the world
Do you like this noisy and stupid kid so much?!
You still play mud ball throwing game with her all the time, what’s so fun about it… You don’t feel any pain after she hit you so many times, and you still smile so happily even when you are covered in dirt… Why do you like her so much
The more little Yuhuan thought about it, the angrier he got. The "six-year-old kid" who said half an hour ago that he had grown up and was not so childish had now completely lost his mind and shouted at Ruan Dongdong, "I'm not going away. Why should I go away? You are his sister, so what? Your brother doesn't rub your hands but rubs my head. Your brother has never touched you but has touched me. Your brother has never hugged you but has hugged me. Your brother—"
As he was talking, Xiao Yuhuan turned his head and gave Ruan Qiuping a kiss on the face, and continued angrily: "—I kissed your brother. Have you kissed your brother? Have you?!"
Ruan Qiuping: “…”
Ruan Dongdong burst into tears.
