Just thinking that the young man might not like her, Tang Xiaoxiao's originally radiant smile quickly drooped, her pair of lively big eyes blinking with a hint of moisture, as if she had been greatly wronged.
Mom Lu had been observing the little interactions between the two children. Seeing Lu Yuanqiao still acting like a little adult, she couldn't help but shake her head. Then her gaze fell on Tang Xiaoxiao's face, and she coaxed and cajoled, "Xiaoxiao, dear, your big brother is just like this."
This statement isn't entirely wrong.
Lu Yuanqiao has always acted like a little adult, either sulking while doing homework or sitting there reading books all day. It's so boring.
This is why Mom Lu has an inexplicable fondness for Tang Xiaoxiao. After all, this little guy seems quite lively. If he could come and bother Lu Yuanqiao more often, she, as a mother, would feel a bit more at ease.
Eh?
Tang Xiaoxiao heard Mama Lu's words, blinked her eyes a bit dazedly, and then turned her gaze back to Lu Yuanqiao.
The young boy still had that serious look on his face. At that moment, he was bending down to zip up his backpack, and Tang Xiaoxiao could only see Lu Yuanqiao's fluffy head, looking like a little squirrel.
"Auntie." Tang Xiaoxiao suddenly seemed to have thot of something. The disappointment that had just appeared on her face immediately disappeared, and her eyes were filled with curiosity. After pondering for a moment, she finally spoke, "Big brother, you still can't talk at your age?"
Tang Xiaoxiao was already chubby, and her voice was also very childish, making it sound like she was unconsciously acting cute when she spoke.
Pfft.
Mom Lu almost doubted whether she had misheard just now. Suppressing her smile, she met Tang Xiaoxiao's eyes.
The little guy had a serious expression, as if he wasn't joking at all. His eyes blinked, as if he were verifying his own thoughts.
Could it be that the little brother is really this old and still can't talk?
Hmph, thot you were so impressive!
However, I have to admit that even without speaking, the young man is still very, very handsome.
No way, it would be such a waste if such a handsome guy didn't speak. Tang Xiaoxiao was lost in her own fantasies, even guessing how nice Lu Yuanqiao's voice would sound.
Suddenly, an idea flashed thru Tang Xiaoxiao's mind. Without thinking much, Tang Xiaoxiao tilted her little head and leaned on Mama Lu's shoulder, acting cute, "Then Xiaoxiao will teach the big brother how to talk." When she spoke, the little one's eyes sparkled, like fireflies dancing in the nite sky.
It's hard not to like him/her.
Uh.
In the end, Mom Lu couldn't help but laugh out loud, only to receive a slightly disdainful look from her son, causing her smile to falter a bit.
How could an adult be looked down upon by a child?
Actually, Lu Yuanqiao's inner self is a bit broken.
He always thot his world only needed to be peaceful and quiet, but suddenly a little girl popped up, first staring at him and giggling foolishly, then crying and making a fuss when he locked her outside, and now she had a silly, innocent look on her face, making him feel a bit angry inside, but he couldn't express it.
As soon as he saw Tang Xiaoxiao's sparkling eyes, he couldn't say a word.
Lu Yuanqiao zipped up his backpack and didn't rush to speak. Instead, he gave Lu Mama a light glance, as if his eyes were saying: "You better talk to me properly."
