At that moment, lying on the grass, the second child Ye Qing had a blade of grass in her mouth, looking quite gloomy.
âOh, if this branch could grow a bit longer, that would be great, the sun is really dazzling!â Ye Qing said somewhat helplessly.
Who knew, the very next second, the big poplar tree behind her burst into lush growth, instantly shading her from the bothersome sunlight. The shadow of the tree perfectly covered her little head, while her body remained basked in sunshine.
At this moment, Ye Qing was dumbfounded!
What was going on?
She had only just made a casual remark, how could the tree behind her have shaded her from the dazzling sunlight and covered exactly this spot in front of her eyes?
Could it be that the tree had become a spirit!
Since she was quite young, she didnât know what fear was.
It was only that this made her feel an immense fondness and warmth, and she looked at the trees around her with great affection.
Thinking about what had just happened.
âThe grass under my head is a bit hard, if there were more grass, it would be even more comfortable!â Ye Qingâs eyes twinkled and she immediately spoke up again.
âSwoosh swooshâ
After a few swishes, Ye Qing, sitting on the grass, turned her head and saw that the patch of lawn under her head had indeed thickened, to about two or three times its original thickness.
She immediately smiled.
Her little face was full of pride, as if she had discovered something spectacular.
Reclining on the lawn, resting her head on the thick grass, her heart brimmed with joy.
âThe plants around here really do have spirits, they can actually understand her words, this is just too wonderful!â Ye Qing whispered to herself.
âLittle Fourth, Fourth Sister!â Ye Qing called to Little Fourth Ye Jie, who wasnât far away.
For some reason, she felt an urge to tell Little Fourth first.
Little Fourth Ye Jie was playing with Niuniu, and upon hearing someone calling her name, recognized it as her second sister, Ye Qingâs voice.
What did she want at this time?
âSecond Sister, did you call me?â Little Fourth Ye Jie asked Ye Qing, who was lying under the grass.
âNonsense, who else could it be if not me!â Ye Qing rolled her eyes helplessly.
This Little Fourth, why was she so silly?
She had called her over, yet she looked so surprised.
âOh, Second Sister, you rarely call me, is there something you need? Spit it out!â With arms crossed, Little Fourth came over to Ye Qing, looking down at her second sister from above.
She knew that her second sister rarely sought her out.
The reason was that they often bickered.
They would quarrel just after a few words.
Of course, special circumstances were an exception.
Therefore, Little Fourth Ye Jie was very curious, why had she thought to call for her?
âSister, sit down, youâre making me uncomfortable standing like that,â Ye Qing said to Ye Jie.
âAlright then.â Little Fourth Ye Jie sat down.
âSister, Iâm going to show you a magic trick, I can do magic now.â Ye Qing said with a radiant smile.
With this newfound ability, she immediately thought of magic, especially like the kind seen on TV.
She felt so cool!
And quite amazing too.
âPsh, magic is all about tricking people, whatâs so special about it.â Little Fourth Ye Jie said, showing no interest.
There were so many magic tricks on TV, all just deceiving people.
She didnât like it.
âDonât be like that, my magic is different from whatâs on TV, look at this.â Ye Qing suddenly got anxious, speaking quickly.
Fearing that Ye Jie would walk away the next second.
It was hard enough to find someone to share her amazing discovery with.
If she left, what then?
Who else would she go to?
âLook at what?â Ye Jie turned her head, looking at Ye Qing with curiosity.
âLook!â As she spoke, Ye Qing reached out her hand, and saw the grass grow before her eyes, until finally, a slender leaf tenderly landed in the palm of her hand, swaying cheerfully.
That look, it was really so affectionate.
Witnessing this scene, Ye Jie was instantly astonished!
Oh boy!
She hadnât expected that to be possible!
Someone could control the grass, no, more precisely, the plants!
And to think, that person was her own second sister.
This was almost like her own incredible strength.
No, she must tell Dad about this.
âSecond Sister, thatâs a Special Ability, a superpower, shouldnât you keep it a secret from others? Otherwise, you might be taken away for slicing and research!â Ye Jie immediately started speaking anxiously, her clear eyes filled with concern.
âWhat, what thing?â Ye Qing asked, clearly confused.
Why did it seem like Little Fourth wasnât surprised or shocked at all?
Why didnât she seem envious of her?
Why not?
She had wanted to show off in front of Ye Jie, make the other jealous.
But why was there no reaction?
And now she was being warned!
What did that mean?
Seeing how concerned and knowing her sister looked, Ye Qing was even more perplexed.
Why was her sister saying these things?
She was confused.
âSister, you canât expose this in front of others, or theyâll capture you, thinking youâre a monster! Theyâll lock you in a small black room, slice you up and study you!â Ye Jieâs little face became very serious.
Exactly!
If it hadnât been for listening to their father and watching a lot of TV, she would be clueless herself.
âSister, donât scare me with that talk!â Ye Qing got up anxiously and grabbed Ye Jieâs hand.
It all sounded so scary.
What small black room?
What research?
What slicing?
Each word she heard sounded frightening!
âIâm not trying to scare you, havenât you watched TV? Those different humans, they all get sliced up, donât they? Have you forgotten the movie we watched last time? Thatâs exactly what happened!â
