Chapter 26
“If Brodda doesn’t like smiling, you don’t have to.”
The little thing tilted her head aside in confusion.
He was obviously feeling sad.
Huo Chenyu’s arms around her froze and a storm was rising in his eyes.
Ever since he was a child…
This was the first time that someone told him that he didn’t have to smile if he didn’t like smiling.
The boy’s lips curved up slightly, looking somewhat mockingly at her under his gentle smile.
Huo Yao was actually right; before he was strong enough, the first thing he should learn is to tolerate.
“Why do adults like lying so much?” She looked up with her small face, pouting slightly in uncomprehension.
Although Brodda wasn’t an adult, it was undeniable that Huo Chenyu and Huo Yao’s personalities were very much alike.
They both loved lying.
Ye Sang rubbed her head against him again and bit her lips unhappily, “I know Brodda doesn’t like me.”
He silently watched her as he never imagined that the little girl saw right through him.
“Yes.” Huo Chenyu ruffled her head and didn’t avoid her in dislike like before, but ordered indifferently in a soft voice. “Be good and go back to bed.”
The little girl was very mature and she was smarter than most of the other five-year-olds.
Huo Chenyu looked back and thought to himself.
If the Huo family really becomes bankrupt in the future, perhaps he would go easy on this cheap sister.

When he saw the moonlight pour down behind her when she flew into his arms with smiling eyes, his heart softened so much.
But…
his heart softened and that was it.
Liking her was out of the question, but he didn’t dislike her as much as before.
She was different from the others in the Huo family after all.
The little thing was confused when she was put back on the ground. She immediately ran towards him with her short legs and hugged his thighs without second thoughts, “Brodda, sleep with Sangsang…”
Huo Chenyu, who had someone hugging his thighs for the first time, remained silent.
He rubbed his forehead and glanced at the ball helplessly and expressionlessly, “Let go.”
“No!” Ye Sang brought out the shameless spirit she had when she saw Daddy Huo for the first time. She held onto his thigh and refused to let go.

And reality proved that shameless children get candy.

The little thing swayed her lotus root-like arms and pouted, trying her best to convey what she meant, “Because Brodda is afraid of the dark…”
Ye Sang pursed her lips, “Sangsang will stay with you.”
Her misty and serious eyes made it impossible for him to reject her.
Huo Chenyu stared at her slowly; his calm and cold heart seemed to feel some warmth after a long time because of what she said.
The boy pressed his lips together and looked at the little thing with unknown emotions, smiling after a while, “Then don’t cry in fear later.”
Huo Chenyu’s teasing eyes made Ye Sang think that she was looked down again.
“I won’t be scared!” The little thing pouted and patted her chest while promising in a crispy clear voice: “Whoever’s scared is a puppy!”

She was the best.
She wasn’t afraid of the dark at all.
Huo Chenyu sneered and leaned back in the corner, closing his eyes and ignoring her.
…
It was the second half of the night. The little girl actually gave up on her soft and warm bed to “suffer” together with him here.
Huo Chenyu opened his eyes in frustration.
This time, it wasn’t that he was scared of being shut in alone, he couldn’t sleep just like always.
Huo Chenyu sat up a little, looking at the sleeping little girl who was curled up in a corner and smiled unconsciously.
The temperature in the second half of the night was much lower than when she had just came in.
The little thing curled up subconsciously from the cold.
