Chapter 41: Zhang Li Xue’s Latest Obsession

Zhang Li Xue’s little brother was called Zhang Yi Hai.

After he was born, Zhang Li Xue’s routine began to change. Every day, whenever she got the time, she would be visiting his little brother. Before she went to school, she would be looking for her brother. When she returned home, she would first go to look at him as well.

As her little siblings grew up, Zhang Li Xue realized that her parents were telling her the truth. The little boy grew cuter and his skin was no longer as red and wrinkly. His chubby cheek would remind her of steamed buns.

Her favorite part was to poke her little brother on his chubby cheek and sniffle his milky scent.

Each time her brother woke up, Zhang Li Xue would stay by his side and talk to him about all sorts of things. Perhaps, the little boy had gotten used to listening to his sister’s voice while he was in his mother’s stomach. The little boy was especially obedient whenever his sister was around.

The boy would seldom cry in Li Xue’s presence unless she came over to bully him.

Just like this, Zhang Yi Hai had become Zhang Li Xue’s latest obsession other than basketball and chicken wing.

.....

At Zhang Yi Hai’s full moon celebration, the Zhang family invited a lot of their family and friends to the celebration.

The Mu family was among those who were invited.

As he arrived, Mu Zhen Yu went to look for his friend. From a distance, he could already see the little girl, dressed in a light pink dress. This time, there was a string of flowers around her waist.

Mu Zhen Yu walked over to his friend but was disappointed when she did not seem to notice him. He followed her gaze and finally saw that the girl’s attention was on the baby in the crib.

There were a lot of elders around, wanting to look at the newborn baby.

Mu Zhen Yu was aware that Zhang Li Xue now had a younger sibling. These days, he noticed that her little sibling was all that she liked to talk about.

Pursing his lips, Mu Zhen Yu squeezed through the aunties to meet his friend.

“Xiao Li Xue.”

The little girl raised her head and her eyes brightened when she saw her friend. Zhang Li Xue waved her hand to call him over. “Brother Zhen Yu! You’re here!” Zhang Li Xue smiled, showing her white teeth. She waited for him to come closer and tugged at his hand so that he could stay close to her.

Mu Zhen Yu looked at the girl’s hand wrapped around his wrist. Gradually, the tip of his ears turned red. He thought that Xiao Li Xue’s hands were tiny. But he liked the way she was holding his hand.

However, the girl did not hold his hand for too long. Before he could enjoy the feeling, the little girl had already pulled her hand away.

“Brother Zhen Yu. Look. My little brother is cute, right?” Zhang Li Xue stood by the crib and poked at her brother’s cheek.

The baby opened his mouth, wanting to put her finger in his mouth. However, before he could reach for her finger, Zhang Li Xue had already pulled away from her hand.

Seeing his little brother pursing his lips in frustration made her laugh.

The baby seemed to sense that his sister was making fun of him. His eyes squinted and his lips began to quiver.

Zhang Li Xue knew what was coming up next. She quickly patted his legs and coaxed him. “Alright. Yi Hai, don’t cry. I won’t tease you anymore.”

The little boy pouted. There were tears in the corner of his eyes. However, the baby did not cry.

Zhang Li Xue turned to her friend again and smile. “Brother Zhen Yu, isn’t my little brother obedient?” She could not help but softly pinch at her brother’s cheek again. “Little brother, you are so cute.”

Mu Zhen Yu stood at the side without saying a word.

Although he wanted to go somewhere and play with his friend, Mu Zhen Yu found that he enjoyed watching Xiao Li Xue. He especially liked seeing her smile.

Every time he looked at her, his heart would beat a little faster. It made him feel strange, but it was not a feeling that he did not like. Mu Zhen Yu did not know what was going on with him. However, he found that he liked the feeling of being around her.

Therefore, Mu Zhen Yu thought that it did not matter if he had to accompany her to play with her little brother. He would be satisfied to stay by her side.

“Li Xue.”

The two children turned to the voice.

Zhang Li Xue blinked. There was a hint of guilt in her eyes as she watched her young auntie walk over.

Earlier that day, her mother had reminded her not to bully her little brother. Zhang Li Xue was worried that her aunt would see what happened and report it to her mother.

“Aunt, I was just looking at my little brother,” Zhang Li Xue spoke.

Zhang Yu Ying peeked at the baby in the crib. She leaned over and carried the baby in her arms. Then, she turned to look at her niece again. “Alright. Li Xue, why don’t you go and play with your friends first? Your mommy said it’s time for your brother to drink his milk.”

Zhang Li Xue nodded. “Un. I know.” She turned to Mu Zhen Yu and held his hand again. “Brother Zhen Yu, it’s a little crowded over here. Let’s go somewhere else and play.”

Mu Zhen Yu looked at the hands that were holding his. The corner of his lips tilted up. “Alright. I’ll do as you say.”

The two children squeezed between the adults before Zhang Li Xue led the boy to a more spacious place. They met a few of their friends and started to play together.

From a distance, Zhang Yu Ying watched her niece and sighed. It seemed that she needed to remind the little girl not to hold another boy’s hand casually.
