Chu Xici was stunned.
He really hadn’t expected this little girl to ask him such a question.
At this mont, her eyes were full of tears, yet they also held so much anticipation, that pitiable expression suddenly reminded Chu Xici of how she looked when she first arrived at this ho.
Now, her expression was still as soft and adorable, except that it had shed its initial immaturity, adding a touch of a young girl’s shyness.
In that instant, his heart lost its rhythm again.
His mind was a bit chaotic, but he quickly organized his thoughts.
She must have asked such a question because she was hurt by today’s events, feeling that she was abandoned.
After all, she’s still a little girl!
Chu Xici’s gaze beca tender, then he lifted his hand to touch her little head, imdiately after, he wiped away the tears on her face and said gently, "Silly girl, you are my sister, how could I not love you!"
Yege felt a sudden, sharp tremor in her heart upon hearing this.
And Chu Xici, seeing her face turn pale all at once, was also surprised.
"What’s wrong?"
When she was a child, he could easily guess what was on her mind, just like during hide and seek, no matter where she hid, he could effortlessly find her.
But now, he was having trouble grasping her emotions.
"Speak up!"
Chu Xici furrowed his brows.
Yege bit her lip, casting her eyes downward.
"Tell the truth, do you... like Lu Jingyi?"
Chu Xici looked at her frustrated deanor and couldn’t help but sigh.
"Just because I made you apologize to Lu Jingyi today, you think I like her?"
Yege lifted her head, blinked her eyes, isn’t that so?
Chu Xici helplessly shook his head and stretched out his hand to pinch her cheek.
"Silly girl, do you really think my taste is that bad?"
Hearing this, Yege felt as if the gloominess in her heart was blown away by the wind in an instant.
He doesn’t like Lu Jingyi!
That’s wonderful!
Suddenly, Yege threw herself into his arms and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Chu Xici was taken aback, what’s with this child now?
He was about to speak, but then he heard her murmuring softly, "Brother, could you... not get a girlfriend?"
At this mont, her body was pressed tightly against his, her arms holding so firmly.
In that instant, Chu Xici’s mind was struck by a barrage of sparks and lightning, leaving him sowhat dazed.
What did she say?
Could he... not get a girlfriend?
When did he tell her he was going to get a girlfriend?
"...promise ..."
Yege’s voice trembled slightly.
In that instant, Chu Xici’s heart ached intensely.
Since when had he made her feel so insecure?
Chu Xici sighed softly, gently patted her back, and said, "Alright, alright, I promise you!"
Now, only by obediently agreeing could he resolve this little girl’s worries.
Having received such an assurance from Chu Xici, Yege’s heart finally settled down.
He promised...
That’s great!
Thinking this, her mood also instantly brightened.
Then, with a smack.
Chu Xici froze in an instant.
