“I am your Big Brother!” Yang Kai looked at her with a smile, “Don’t get the hierarchy between us wrong.”
The little girl blinked her eyes and her mouth twitched. She seemed about to burst into tears.
“You are not allowed to cry!” He flexed his middle finger again, acting like he was going to flick her forehead again.
The corners of her mouth were completely downturned. Even so, she held in her tears and did not cry. She simply turned her head to look at her Sisters-In-Law, as if asking for reinforcements. Unfortunately for her, Su Yan remained motionless, Xue Yue pretended not to see, and Shan Qing Luo was watching the events unfolding with great interest. Only Xia Ning Chang still had the same troubled expression on her face.
The Second Young Lady of the Yang Family might be a little pampered and spoiled, but she was not a bad-natured or wicked child. Xia Ning Chang had spent the most time with her and had the deepest understanding of her.
One time, when the little girl had been playing in the back mountains, it suddenly began to rain heavily; however, instead of running back home, she braved the storm and seemed to be busy working on something under a tree. Xia Ning Chang watched curiously and discovered that there was an ant’s nest under the tree and the little girl was building a shelter for them out of leaves. She was only three years old at the time.
After seeing that, Xia Ning Chang pampered and doted on the little girl even more than ever. It was rare for a child to have such a kind nature, so Xia Ning Chang wanted to show her all the favour and love in the world.
“You know how to judge the difference in strength,” Yang Kai smiled slightly, raised his hand and rubbed her head a few times, “This is the first thing Big Brother will teach you, forbearance. A person will break easily if they are too rigid or stubborn, do you understand?”
The little girl nodded blankly, but obviously did not quite understand what he meant.
He laughed and said, “Look at you. You still won’t admit that you’ve lost. Let’s do this then. If I can guess your name, you will call me ‘Big Brother’. Okay?”
The little girl angrily said, “Deal!”
She felt a little smug inside.
[It’s the first time we’ve ever met each other. How can he know my name?]
It was too bad that she didn’t wonder how he knew that she was his sister even though it was their first time meeting.
Putting his fingers together again, he smiled, “Yang Xue?”
“H-How did you know!?” Yang Xue widened her eyes, thinking that Yang Kai was incredibly amazing. Her clear eyes were filled with admiration.
“Just tell me whether I’m right or not,” Yang Kai said.
She let her hands hang by her sides and dejectedly admitted, “You’re right!”
He prompted, “So, what should you do?”
Pouting, she turned her head away and reluctantly muttered, “Big Brother…”
He smiled, “This is the second lesson Big Brother will teach you. A person is only as good as their word, you must never break your promises!”
“En,” she looked thoughtful.
“Alright, that’s it for today. Go back and tell our parents that I will visit them in a few days,” While speaking, he shot a look at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan stood up from where she sat next to Su Yan, walked to Yang Xue, and stretched out a small hand. Yang Xue voluntarily took the hand stretched out to her, then Liu Yan pushed her strength slightly and the two little figures immediately flew down the peak. During that time, Yang Xue looked back at Yang Kai a few times.
“They sure look like sisters.” Yang Kai watched them leave with a smile. His heart felt warm.
Yang Xue was only five years old, while Liu Yan appeared to be a girl of seven or eight years, so it was only natural that they would look like sisters when standing next to each other.
Turning around, he lowered his gaze and grinned widely, “Who was it that just said she gave birth to Xue’er?”
“I’ll be leaving first!” Su Yan got up and tried to leave.
“Thinking about it, I have something to do too,” Xue Yue looked flustered.
Xia Ning Chang blushed furiously and stammered, “My pills…”
Only Shan Qing Luo remained motionless, staring at Yang Kai provocatively.
