Ruan Qiuping: …No, let me explain…
Hmm? Wait, why did he need to explain?
Ruan Qiuping cleared his throat and, in a straightforward manner, pointed to Ruan Dongdong, who was playing with mud nearby. “Allow me to introduce, my incredibly adorable, the most beautiful little sister in the world – Ruan Dongdong. To be precise, she’s not raised by me, my parents are taking care of her, and I’m just looking after her temporarily.”
Ahem… why did he unintentionally explain again?
Upon hearing her name, Ruan Dongdong immediately turned her head and smiled at Ruan Qiuping, revealing her mud-splattered face.
Ah, my little sister’s face has mud on it, how cute.
Wait a minute.
Ruan Qiuping stood in front of Ruan Dongdong and squinted at the little Yu Huan. “I warn you in advance, even if my sister is cute, you’re not allowed to have any improper thoughts about her!”
Little Yu Huan glanced at Ruan Dongdong, who was covered in mud spots.
Wearing a look of disdain combined with extreme coldness.
Ruan Qiu Ping tapped the closed iron gate with his hand and then turned to look at the little Yu Huan inside, asking, “Do you still think about running away from home now?”
Little Yu Huan shook his head, his expression appearing very calm. “No, I won’t. I’ve grown up, not as childish as before.”
Ruan Qiu Ping couldn’t help but laugh.
Little Yu Huan frowned. “What are you laughing at?”
“Cough, nothing, really.”
It just felt strange to hear such calm words from a six-year-old kid.
“Can you go out freely then?” This remote villa, the high walls, the locked gate, and the vigilant bodyguards who occasionally glanced in this direction all made it seem like little Yu Huan wouldn’t have much freedom.
As expected, little Yu Huan lowered his head and gently shook it.
“Wait a moment, I’ll have them let you in,” little Yu Huan said.
Shortly after, Ruan Qiuping saw little Yu Huan turn around and say something to the nearby bodyguards. The bodyguards remained expressionless and shook their heads.
Little Yu Huan said something again and gestured, prompting the bodyguard to bend down.
The bodyguard complied, and little Yu Huan whispered a sentence into his ear. Subsequently, little Yu Huan retrieved a small, shimmering object from his pocket, resembling a diamond, and placed it in the bodyguard’s right hand.
The bodyguard hesitated briefly but clenched his right hand after a few seconds. He appeared somewhat uneasy as he walked over and opened the door for Ruan Qiuping.
Ruan Qiuping watched in astonishment.
Upon entering the villa, Ruan Qiuping couldn’t resist asking Yu Huan, “What were you doing just now?”
“I took off the diamond cufflink from my suit and gave them to him, so he’d let you in,” little Yu Huan replied with a pause, “In short, it’s bribery.”

Ruan Qiuping looked at little Yu Huan, unsure of what to say.

“…Well.”
Ruan Qiuping nodded absentmindedly.
Little Yu Huan didn’t expect Ruan Qiuping to actually nod. His eyes widened slightly, he opened his mouth, but no words came out. He quickly pursed his lips, turned around, and ran upstairs without looking back.
Ruan Qiuping followed him, saying, “Wait for me!”
“Go play with your pure and innocent little sister!” little Yu Huan said coldly.
Ruan Qiuping lowered his head and chuckled softly.
“Are you making fun of me again?” little Yu Huan turned his head, somewhat annoyed.
“How could I?” Ruan Qiuping retorted. “I just think you’re cute.”
Little Yu Huan’s eyes widened instantly. His ears turned red, followed by his whole face blushing.
He blinked his eyes, seeming a bit shy, but still couldn’t help but cautiously ask, “Am I cuter than your little sister?”
“That’s not the case.” Ruan Qiuping replied without hesitation.
Little Yu Huan: “…”
Seeing that little Yu Huan was about to get angry again, Ruan Qiuping hastily tried to make amends, saying, “But you are definitely the most adorable little boy in the world!”
Little Yu Huan’s expression improved somewhat.
Ruan Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and, for a moment, felt like he was on the verge of becoming a teacher in a kindergarten, being pulled in different directions by two kids.
However…
Ruan Qiuping watched the round back of little Yu Huan’s head and whispered in his heart:
But now, this little boy has finally started to exhibit some of the typical childlike liveliness.
Ruan Qiuping sat in a gazebo not far from Ruan Dongdong, sipping juice that a servant had just brought, and looked around the spacious villa. He asked, “Are your parents both at work? When will they be back?”
“They’re not here, I live alone,” little Yu Huan replied.
Ruan Qiuping seemed somewhat incredible, “You live alone? How can that be?”
Little Yu Huan lowered his head, took a sip of juice, and then said, “…There are maids and servants here, as well as a private tutor who comes every day. So, there’s nothing wrong with me living alone here.”
Ruan Qiuping furrowed his brow.
He felt like there was something strange about this family.
“Aren’t you all cold?” little Yu Huan suddenly asked.
“Cold?”
Little Yu Huan pointed at Ruan Qiuping’s short-sleeved shirt and said, “It’s already October.”
Ruan Qiuping then noticed that the servants, bodyguards, and little Yu Huan were all wearing coats, while he and Little Dongdong were dressed in short sleeves and dresses, looking like two clueless individuals.
Ruan Qiuping, being a god of over two hundred years, could endure the cold to some extent. However, he was concerned about Little Dongdong, who had no magical abilities. He wondered if she could withstand the low temperature.
“Is there warm clothing for Dongdong to wear at your house?” Ruan Qiuping asked.
Little Yu Huan nodded.
Ruan Qiuping stood up and called out to Dongdong, “Dongdong, stop playing. Let’s go wash up and change into some warm clothes!”
Dongdong turned her head and saw Ruan Qiuping. Suddenly, she thought of something. With an excited expression, she shouted, “Brother!” Then, she picked up the mudball in her hand and threw it at Ruan Qiuping!
After being hit by the mudball, Ruan Qiuping dramatically exclaimed, “Oh no! I’m done for!” and then fell to the ground.
Dongdong clapped her hands happily and giggled.
Ruan Qiuping stood up and continued to approach Ruan Dongdong. Ruan Dongdong threw mudballs at him again, and each time, Ruan Qiuping cooperatively fell to the ground, pretending to be dead.
After a while, they had played seven or eight rounds.
“Aren’t you tired of this?” little Yu Huan turned his head away from them and muttered, “It’s so boring… and incredibly childish.”
Suddenly, something hit little Yu Huan’s head with a “thud.”
Little Yu Huan paused for a moment, then he covered his head while glancing at the culprit – Ruan Dongdong, who had thrown the mudball.
Ruan Dongdong seemed to realize that she had targeted the wrong person, and the person she hit was now giving her a fierce look. She felt a little scared and immediately stood in place, clutching her little hands, choosing not to speak anymore.
Little Yu Huan continued to glare fiercely at Ruan Dongdong. Ruan Dongdong was so frightened that she shivered and quickly ran behind her own brother.
“Brother… that little brother is really scary–”
Ruan Dongdong whispered.
As she finished speaking, she noticed that little brother ‘s expression had become even scarier.
Ruan Qiuping immediately sensed that something was not right.
This couldn’t go on; these two kids might end up fighting each other.
Ruan Qiuping quickly said to Ruan Dongdong, “Dongdong, go and apologize to the little brother.”
Ruan Dongdong ran up to little Yu Huan and obediently bowed, saying, “I’m sorry, little brother…”
“Who’s your little brother!”little Yu Huan didn’t appreciate it at all.
Ruan Qiuping sighed; it was tough to deal with kids.
He walked up to Yu Huan and looked at where he had been hit, softly asking, “Does it hurt?”
Little Yu Huan’s voice was low, “…A bit.”
Ruan Qiuping reached out and gently massaged the spot on his head where he had been hit, “Does it feel better now?”
“It’s getting better…”
Ruan Qiuping continued to massage his head for a while. Then, imitating the way his mother would usually comfort Ruan Dongdong, he said, “Hoo-hoo, the pain is gone, it flew away.”
“…So childish,” little Yu Huan said, his ears turning red.
Ruan Dongdong, standing not far away, blinked her eyes, and suddenly, with her little short legs, she ran over and stopped in front of Yu Huan.
She extended her right hand, which had turned red from the small stones when she had just been playing with mud, looked at Ruan Qiuping, and said, “Brother, it hurts too. I want you to rub it and blow on it.”
“Whoo—” Ruan Qiuping leaned closer and blew on her hand.
“I want you to rub it too…” Ruan Qiuping hesitated for a moment and said, “Dongdong, how about you rub it yourself? Brother can’t touch you.”
“Why? Why can’t Brother touch me?”
Ruan Qiuping opened his mouth, unsure of how to explain.
Ruan Dongdong pursed her lips, her voice filled with deep distress, “Brother never touches me… never holds me either. My hand hurts, brother… brother won’t rub it for me, but he’ll rub it for others…”
Ruan Dongdong struggled to express her feelings in a long string of words. She looked at Ruan Qiuping and then at little Yu Huan, her eyes becoming slightly teary. Unfortunately, at this very moment, little Yu Huan let out a cold laugh, which Ruan Dongdong heard loud and clear, and it hurt her even more.
Ruan Dongdong bit her lip, then suddenly walked up to Yu Huan, pushed him angrily, and shouted, “You go away! He’s my brother, not yours!”
Little Yu Huan was caught off guard by the push, and he staggered backward, fortunately caught by Ruan Qiuping before falling.
Looking at Ruan Dongdong’s determined expression and recalling Ruan Qiuping’s earlier declaration that she was the cutest sister in the world, little Yu Huan couldn’t help but felt a surge of anger as well.
What’s so cute about the so-called ‘cutest sister in the world’?
You really like this noisy and clumsy kid so much?!
Always playing mudball games with her, what’s so fun about that… even after getting hit so many times, you don’t seem to feel the pain, and you’re all dirty but still so happy… Why do you like her so much?
The more little Yu Huan thought about it, the more angry he became, and half an hour ago he said that he had grown up, and the “six-year-old child” who was not so childish had completely lost his mind at this moment, and shouted to Ruan Dongdong: “I don’t go away, why should I go away!” How about you being his sister? Your brother didn’t rub your hands but rubbed my head, your brother didn’t touch you but touched me, your brother didn’t hold you but hugged me, your brother—”
Saying that, little Yu Huan turned his head, kissed Ruan Qiuping on the face, and continued angrily: “-Your brother was still kissed by me, have you kissed your brother? Kissed?! ”
Ruan Qiuping: “…”
Ruan Dongdong cried out loudly.
