Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

The girl stared at him unblinkingly with smiling eyes.

As if she particularly liked the look of his dumplings, she squatted down and got closer.

"What are you drawing?"

She took the opportunity of looking at the painting to close the distance.

"..." Bai Tuanzi seemed a little unexpected.

She was so close, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

He was stunned, looking at her with a slightly sideways glance.

Purse your lips and breathe warm and shallow.

His little fingers unconsciously clasped a corner of the drawing book, applying slight pressure to create wrinkles.

This is his little habit when he is nervous. When he is nervous, he will subconsciously want to grab something that can give him a sense of security.

There was silence.

As he got closer, the girl could clearly see the contents of his drawing book——

Is it a tree?

She tilted her head and asked, "What kind of tree is this?"

He only painted the trunk and branches, and nothing else. The species of the tree is not very clear.

But the painting is pretty good-looking and stylish, like...

"This is a pine tree."

His childish voice sounded in her ears, slowly.

As if she has not been weaned, her words are full of milk, so tender.

She looked at the painting and realized, "Ah... pine tree."

"Your paintings are so beautiful." She praised with a smile.

While boasting, he reached out tentatively and poked his soft-looking face.

Poke and touch.

Like a gangster, wilted and bad.

"..." His soft black eyes stared at her.

His face, as white as cotton candy, had no expression.

The eyes that stared at her gradually showed some doubts.

"Who are you?"

He doesn't know her.

Could it be that he is new in the courtyard?

The gangster who was touching his face looked at him and blinked, "Me?"

"I'm...your sister, here to take you home."

She rubbed his little head and looked at his soft and harmless appearance. She put the tip of her tongue slightly against the little tiger teeth and smiled brightly.

"Do you want to go home with me?"

She opened her arms towards him.

"If you come home with me, I will give you a lot of drawing books and colored pens."

She offers temptation.

"..." Xiaonuituanzi looked at her quietly.

There was still a moment of silence.

He looks like a kid, but in fact, he doesn't seem to be that easy to deceive.

He's just introverted and doesn't like to talk. He's not stupid.

"Huh? Okay? I'll take you home, okay?"

A girl who was several years older than him approached him and tentatively touched his little arm.

Seeing that he showed no particular resistance, she took action.

"Si Si——"

Outside the door, someone called her.

"Si Si, where are you? Where have you gone? This is—"

It's her mother here.

She paused.

Immediately, she grabbed his little hand and shook it, "Come with me. I will give you all the delicious and fun things I have in the future, okay?"

"..." He still didn't move.

Look at her quietly without speaking.

"Si Si——"

Outside the door, the call came closer.

Getting closer.

Yun Si turned around and looked at the door.

When she turned around again, the adorable soft dumpling sat in front of her, motionless.

He didn't seem to react to her coaxing.

His palm-sized little face had a plain expression, and his long eyelashes were lightly drooped, and he was quietly staring at her hand holding his.

I don’t know what I’m thinking.

Seeing that the sound outside was about to reach the door, Yun Si closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and reached out to hug her——

Pick him up.

With a "crash", the drawing book and pen fell to the ground.

At the same time, at the door——

"Si Si?"
