Li Jianyue was a little surprised by Li Mosen’s appearance. “Brother Mosen, what were you up to last night?”
Li Mosen gave a light cough and turned away as he replied, “Go eat your breakfast.”
Seeing his reaction, Li Jianyue immediately leaned over and quizzed, “You couldn’t sleep because Dad scolded you last night?”
Li Mosen looked down at her as she consoled him. She said with sympathy, “Don’t be upset. Dad did it for your good. He doesn’t usually scold anyone. See, Dad has never scolded me.”
Li Lianqian, out of the blue, and teased her, “That’s because you are too dumb. It’s useless to scold you. To think that you’re proud of it?” Li Lianqian’s voice was melodic.
Li Jianyue puffed out her cheeks in anger. “That’s not true! You’re just jealous and spiteful, aren’t you?” she said furiously.
“No,” Li Lianqian said in a dismissive tone. He walked over to Li Jianyue and clasped her under his arm. “Let’s go and have breakfast.”
“Hey, let go of me! You stink!” Li Jianyue said in disgust.
“I’ll crush you if I hear one more word of nonsense from you again!”
“That’s not nonsense. Go on, smell at yourself!”
Li Lianqian’s laugh was mirthless as he pushed her head to his armpit. “You can smell it on my behalf,” he retorted.
“Bleargh!” Li Jianyue faked a vomit. Try as she might, she couldn’t free herself from under Li Lianqian’s arm.
The seventeen-year-old Li Jianqian was about 1.7 meters tall. He works out regularly. The pet.i.te Li Jianyue was no match for him as he effortlessly dragged her along.
He still held Li Jianyue under his arm as he headed for the dining table. Li Jianyue managed to sneak a peek at Yu Chulin, taking a slow walk toward them. She shouted for help, “Brother Chu, hurry up and take hold of my brother’s hand. He’s bullying me again!”
Yu Chulin sat down leisurely and chuckled. “Is he? I don’t see him doing anything.”
“Boohoohoo, you guys are clearly in cahoots. You’re all bullying me!” Li Jianyue bawled. Li Mosen was walking behind Yu Chulin. When Li Jianyue saw him, she wailed, “Brother Mosen, boohoo…”
Li Mosen’s lips curled up into a smile. He reached out his hand to graze her nose. “All right, you can be quite an actress with that level of acting. Where do you want to go later?”
Li Jianyue c.o.c.ked her head. She thought of a place at once. “Why don’t we go to the amus.e.m.e.nt park that we went to the last time?”
“The amus.e.m.e.nt park?”
“Yes, the one with the Ferris wheel and the k.u.mamon bear that sells bunny ears headbands,” Li Jianyue’s chirped, her eyes s.h.i.+ning brightly. “We went there before in the evening. Do you think it’ll be more fun to go there during the day?”
Li Mosen’s brows knitted into a frown.
He knew precisely the place Li Jianyue had in mind. He also remembered seeing the k.u.mamon bear that sold the bunny ears headbands.
He recalled how much the k.u.mamon’s gaze had bothered him when it looked at them. He sensed that there was a hidden emotion in the gaze. It seemed to him the k.u.mamon bear knew them. Li Mosen disliked the way it had made him feel.
Seeing how excited Li Jianyue was, he didn’t have the heart to turn her down. After a moment’s hesitation, he suggested, “I know a place similar to that. Why don’t we hang out somewhere else?”
Li Jianyue shook her head. “I think the amus.e.m.e.nt park is better. It’s closer to home, and once we finish, we can eat hot pot there!”
Li Jianyue almost drooled at the thought of hot-pot.
Unlike the rest of the family, Li Jianyue’s love for hot pot was more of an obsession.
She also loved ice-cream and various types of fried snacks.
“You only know how to eat,” Li Jianqian said disdainfully. “Moyun is coming over today. Have a good look at him. If you continue to eat the way you do, you’ll become like him sooner or later.”
