Li Sicheng waited until all the children had gone upstairs before he picked up the bowl of sweet soup that Su Qianci laid in front of him and took a sip.
Ou Ming looked straight at him and asked in surprise, âI thought you didnât like sweet foods?â
Li Sicheng rolled his eyes at Ou Ming when he heard that and retorted, âWhat do you know? What my wife cooks is especially tasty.â
Si Qianci blushed slightly, and her ears reddened as she interjected, âNot at all. Heâs just talking nonsense.â
But Ou Ming saw that Li Sicheng meant what he had said. Taking that comment with a pinch of salt anyway, he lifted the bowl to his lips and took a sip.
Li Sicheng stared at Ou Ming intently, ready to pounce if Ou Ming dared to utter any negative criticisms. In response, Ou Ming nodded sincerely and looked at Su Qianci. âItâs tasty indeed! Very delicious! My sister-in-law can really cook!â
Su Qianci blushed even more and smacked Li Sicheng playfully.
Li Sicheng blinked and took another mouthful. âWifey,â he called out.
âYeah?â Su Qianci looked towards Li Sicheng, her eyebrows raised in question.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDo you think Mosen has taken a liking to our daughter?â
âWhat sort of liking are you referring to?â Su Qianci widened her eyes at Li Sicheng. âHow is that possible? Theyâre siblings!â
âHe knows that heâs not biologically related to us. Heâs always timid in his interaction with us. Even though he doesnât say anything, his actions are always very careful. Did you notice that?â Li Sicheng stated plainly, his expression belying the thoughts that were running through his mind.
âThatâs impossible. He treats her as his younger sister. Furthermore, heâs so young. How would he know anything about that?â Su Qianci was resolute in her refutation. âDonât overthink things. The kids are still young.â
Yu Lili felt that Li Sicheng was overthinking the situation as well and added her opinion. âThat child is Tang Mengyingâs, isnât he? Heâs barely five this year. So he wonât have such feelings. Isnât it normal for an older brother to treat his younger sister well?â
Conversely, when Ou Ming heard the exchange, his eyebrows rose. The memory of Li Mosen saying âno wayâ in unison with Li Sicheng came to his mind.
At that moment, he had thought that Li Mosen was an extremely considerate child despite his young age. But now that Li Sicheng mentioned it, it did seem like there was a hint of something else present indeed.
But, he was still such a young child. Was it really possible for him to have such feelings?
After some thought, Ou Ming spoke up, âI, on the other hand, think it might actually be possible. Your daughter is so pretty and so cute. What boy wouldnât like her?â
Li Sicheng was happy that someone finally understood what he was trying to say. âRight? You think so too, donât you? I think we really shouldnât let them share a room anymore. Ersu was right. Boys and girls should keep a distance. This isnât very appropriate.â
âErsu kicks her covers off in her sleep. She cannot sleep alone.â Su Qianci looked at Li Sicheng and told him. âMosen covers Ersu with the blanket at night. Sometimes, when Dasu wakes up in the middle of the night to get a drink, heâll cover her with the blanket too. If it were up to you, your daughter would freeze to death!â
Li Sicheng ignored the rebuke in her voice and suggested, âWeâll just buy a sleeping bag and zip her up inside. Then weâll let her out again in the morning. Wouldnât that work then?â
Su Qianci glared at him and gave him a hard kick on the shin. âAre you bringing up a kid or an animal? Thatâs our daughter!â
Li Sicheng rubbed his shin and raised his eyebrows in protest. He spoke up even more assuredly, âThat actually isnât a bad idea. Iâll order a few sleeping bags later. Theyâll each have one, and they can all just sleep in separate rooms.â
