Chapter 72: Doesn’t Seem So Bad

The boy’s small body suddenly tensed up, his little fists clenched tightly, looking at her with a guarded expression. It seemed she was finally angry!

He was wondering what he should do if she wanted to fight him later.

He wasn’t afraid of fighting, but he was afraid of her dad...

Her dad, like Grandpa, was particularly fierce.

No, her dad was even fiercer than Grandpa!

Before he could figure out a solution, the little girl stood still in front of him.

Lu Qi’s little mouth was tightly pressed, and with clenched fists, he gritted his teeth and said, "What, what do you want?"

Then, he reluctantly added, "I’ll say it first, we can fight, but no telling on me!"

Lu Li blinked, not understanding what her brother meant, but still extended her little hand towards him, her soft baby voice saying, "Brother, here’s some candy for you."

Lu Qi: "..."

Lu Qi didn’t expect she was there to give him candy, and for a long while, he couldn’t say a word, his fair face turning red, feeling that his earlier nervousness and overthinking were simply foolish!

But he still turned his head, stubbornly saying, "I don’t want your candy!"

This troublesome sister must be trying to bribe him, he wouldn’t fall for it!

Did she think he would just give up Grandpa like that?

Dream on!

After saying this, Lu Qi hesitantly glanced at the candy, his eyes showing a bit of reluctance, as if he really wanted to take it, but still stubbornly refused.

Kids rarely dislike candy.

He actually really liked candy, but his mom and dad wouldn’t allow it.

"Why don’t you want it? Brother, this candy is really good!"

Little Lu Li was a bit puzzled: "Li Li had a lot today! It’s really delicious... Brother, if you tried it, you’d definitely like it!"

"But now I only have this one left, the rest were taken away by dad..."

At the end, the little girl’s voice was muffled.

Lu Qi had actually already noticed her bag of candy and saw how she was savoring each piece, but he was too embarrassed to say he wanted it, and mainly because...

"...I don’t want it,"

Looking into the little loli’s sincere and clear eyes, she seemed to genuinely want him to have the candy, Lu Qi pursed his lips and finally whispered,

"My mom and dad said Grandpa doesn’t like kids who eat candy, because only girls like to eat candy, Grandpa won’t like it..."

"Brother, you’ve been tricked!" The little girl confidently puffed up her small chest, "I love candy, and Grandpa likes me so much!"

"..." The little boy got annoyed, snatching the candy and coldly saying, "You’re talking nonsense! Grandpa obviously likes me the most!"

"Really?"

"Of course!" Lu Qi watched her warily, afraid she’d be unhappy and take the candy back.

To his surprise, the little girl exclaimed, "Wow, so Grandpa likes you the most, brother you’re amazing!"

"..."

Everyone likes to hear compliments.

And somehow, whether it was because the little girl was used to complimenting people or not, her expression was extremely sincere, as if she truly believed it.

Confronted by her admiring and clear eyes, a flush gradually appeared on Lu Qi’s fair cheeks, and he coughed lightly to disguise his embarrassment.

He lowered his head, unwrapping the milk candy, avoiding the little girl’s gaze.

Soon, the rich milky taste filled his mouth as he held the candy.

It was indeed delicious.

He glanced up, looking at the little girl who had returned to the sofa, and pressed his thin lips together.

This sister... didn’t seem as bad as mom and dad said.
