Chapter 116 – Hey Friend, Have You Heard of ‘Siscon’? (16)
The little girl lay on the edge of the bed, her legs kicking lightly, her eyes blinking with a hint of uncertainty. This sight amused Lu Buchi.
Earlier, she had made some tough remarks and she was feeling satisfied, but now she wondered if he could actually follow through with them.
Straightening Yan Luo’s clothes, he made her sit properly on the bed and raised an eyebrow. Lu Buchi had become less frail since he first arrived at the Yan household. A hint of melancholy crossed his increasingly defined face.
“What were you up to earlier?” Lu Buchi chuckled, pretending to be puzzled.
The little girl narrowed her eyes and struggled to jump down, but Lu Buchi caught her. Looking at the mischievous Yan Luo, he held her securely. “What do you want to do?”
“Have Daddy kick those few people out of the Alliance’s First Academy,” the little girl said directly, clenching her fist with determination. She explained, “Anyway, I said it, but it’s Daddy who chased them away. That’s not breaking a promise.”
Ah, the plan worked!
Lu Buchi : …
The smile on his lips was almost uncontrollable. Lu Buchi leaned close to her ear, sighing with a hint of sadness. “Oh, does Luoluo not have confidence in Elder Brother?”
Did she really think he’d lose to those foolish guys?
Although he spoke with such a tone, there was a hint of amusement in his lips.
Regardless of privilege or ability, power or status, perhaps in the eyes of others, the little girl seemed arrogant and unreasonable, but in his eyes, she was becoming softer.
For the first time, someone stood in front of him like this, seemingly fragile and delicate, as if she would break with a touch.
Lu Buchi sighed softly, then saw the little girl turn her head earnestly and say, “Because I believe in big brother.”
So whatever he say, she’ll believe it.
Such a simple principle.
Lu Buchi looked at the pure and bright eyes in front of him, slightly stunned for a moment. Then he lowered his gaze, stroking Yan Luo’s hair. “Since Luoluo said so, then don’t worry.”
Seeing the young girl blinking her eyes, wanting to ask something else, a fleeting look of confusion flashed in Lu Buchi’s eyes, followed by a gentle smile.
He obediently covered her with the blanket and lay down, blinking. “Okay, Luoluo’s fairy tale can begin now. Elder Brother is ready.”
When Yan Qi came to Lu Buchi’s room to carry Yan Luo out at the appointed time, he saw Lu Buchi maintaining a certain distance from Yan Luo even in sleep.
He was lying on his side, his pillow mostly empty, black hair slightly covering his face, sleeping deeply.
Next to him was Yan Luo, both of them asleep, Lu Buchi’s hand resting lightly on Yan Luo’s waist, keeping her within his breath.
Thinking of the video records the robot guards had given today, Yan Qi shrugged slightly, implicitly acknowledging this situation, carefully carrying Yan Luo out.
After the door closed, Lu Buchi slowly opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the door. He raised his hand, bringing it to his face, with a dark, murky light in his eyes.
This hand still held the soft touch of that little girl, surrounded by her lingering scent.
As he looked, he suddenly tightened his hand, then slowly closed his eyes again.
