Not only did she not give it to him, but she also did not allow others to covet him.
Ye Hui originally wanted to catch a few more fish. Seeing that more and more children were approaching him, Le Bao was like a little lion guarding her territory, not letting other children get close to him.
Hearing the child beside her call him brother, Le Bao immediately became anxious. "No, no, this is my brother. You can't call him brother. You have your father!"
The adults at the side laughed at the same time. "Little vinegar jar, it's not a big deal to call brother a few times."
"Young man, you're quite amazing. How can you catch the same fish so quickly? What tricks do you have?"
"There's no trick to it." Ye Hui paused for a moment.
There was a burst of laughter from the side. Le Bao pulled his sleeve tightly and walked out of the crowd. "Big Brother, let's not stay here anymore. Let's go somewhere else!"
As she wished, Ye Hui walked out of the crowd and brought her into the aquarium. The small fish was as malnourished as Le Bao, swimming back and forth in a small cup.
Le Bao held hands and walked forward. Ye Hui felt an inexplicable warmth in his hand.
Ye Hui thought, it felt good to be relied on by a child. When he compared the actual three-year-old child next to him to Le Bao, he felt that their Le Bao was too obedient no matter how he looked at it.
In the underwater world, because the white shark swam away, it could not be seen. The child, who was desperately pleading for her parents to bring her to find it, opened her mouth and cried non-stop.
Her voice echoed in the narrow space, and the siblings looked at each other helplessly.
Le Bao didn't want to stay in this place for long. She quickly pulled him away. "Big Brother, let's go!"
Ye Hui was finally no longer as cold and expressionless as before. The two of them were more familiar with each other. Le Bao heard him say, "If you're like those crying children, I really can't take care of you!"
Le Bao patted her chest. "Le Bao is a mature child. She won't cry easily unless something serious happens."
"Pfft… Little thing, you sure know how to talk big. What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."
"I want to eat… I want to eat beef rice!"
Ye Hui had a house to live alone outside. The environment of the house he lived in was similar to that of a hospital office. The first impression one had when they entered was that there were few things, and then it was clean and tidy.
Perhaps people who studied medicine had some obsession with cleanliness. He could not help but despise the four brothers at home.
However, when Le Bao entered his personal space, not only did Ye Hui not reject her, he even felt a hint of happiness.
"Go play by yourself. There are fruits and drinks prepared by Auntie in my fridge. If you want to eat them, go get them yourself. I'll prepare dinner for you."
Ye Hui's kitchen was completely open. It was obvious that he rarely cooked. The kitchen could be said to be clean to the point where it was not stained at all.
The warm yellow light overhead was switched on, and Le Bao hopped over. "Big Brother, can I help?"
"What do you want to help with?"
"Let me help wash the vegetables!"
Ye Hui nodded and took out two potatoes from his shopping bag and threw them to her. "Help Big Brother wash these two things clean."
"Alright!" Le Bao excitedly brought a small chair over and stood by the sink. Ye Hui put down what he was doing and helped her roll up her sleeves before turning on the tap.
The two round things were very easy to clean, and the relationship between the siblings had become much closer. Standing in the small kitchen space, Le Bao could see Ye Hui busy preparing lunch and dinner.
He was in charge of the process of washing the rice, vegetables, and meat. Le Bao was fascinated by him. She walked down from the chair with the potatoes in her arms, walked to his side, and carefully handed the food in her hand to him. "Here, Big Brother."
Ye Hui took it and put it aside, focusing on the chopping board. "Alright, you can go play by yourself."
Le Bao wrinkled her nose. "Le Bao wants to watch Big Brother."
He glanced at Le Bao and couldn't help but smile. There was a little one supervising him at the side, and Ye Hui's movements were carried out in an orderly manner.
Le Bao looked at his series of actions and could not help but ask the question in her heart curiously, "Big Brother, why do you live alone?"
Ye Hui put all the food into the pot together and washed his hands repeatedly in a familiar way. "Because Big Brother has to go to work, so he lives alone."
"Then, will Le Bao disturb Big Brother if she comes over?"
"Yes."
Le Bao pursed her lips and heard him pause for a moment before continuing, "But I... I don't really mind."
It was really strange. He clearly didn't like children, but he didn't find Le Bao annoying today.
The fragrance in the kitchen quickly spread, and every now and then, the rice that looked, smelled, and tasted good would be served.
It was rare for Ye Hui to make a plate meticulously. After he finished, Ye Hui looked at his work and couldn't help but sigh. He lived a rough life alone, but now he was cooking for a child.
Le Bao's short legs ran back and forth to set up the cutlery, spoons, and plates. Looking at the things she took out one by one, Ye Hui finally thought of what words he should use to describe his current feelings at this moment.
"I'm ready to eat. Thank you for your hospitality, Big Brother!" Mealtime had always been her favorite.
Ye Hui's phone lit up before he even touched the cutlery. Ye Chong called to ask about Le Bao's situation, and he told him one by one.
Ye Chong could not help but feel uneasy, and asked Le Bao to answer the phone.
Ye Hui passed the phone to Le Bao. "Hello, Daddy?"
Ye Chong's heart softened when he heard the childish voice of 'Daddy'. "Yes... Are you used to everything?"
"I'm with my brother. He took me to Ocean World to play and even caught me a small fish. We're eating his cooking now!"
Ye Chong nodded, and then realized that Le Bao could not see him through the phone. He shook his hand and coughed, "Did you miss Daddy?"
Le Bao answered without hesitation, "I miss Daddy!"
Ye Chong was satisfied with the answer. "I'll bring you home when I get back."
After dinner, Ye Hui asked a few more questions today.
Le Bao needed to bathe at night, but while he was still thinking about how to bathe the child, Le Bao had already volunteered to take a small towel into the bathroom.
"Bao Bao can bathe herself." Le Bao had insisted on not allowing Ye Hui to help her with the matter of taking off her clothes after bathing.
A little brat still wanted face! She was too embarrassed to let others see her naked butt.
Ye Hui filled the bathtub with water and poured some shower gel into it before coming out. He stood guard outside the bathroom. "Bathe yourself. I'll wait for you outside."
Le Bao rushed into the bathroom. She stripped herself naked and climbed into the bathtub that Ye Hui had filled for her. She couldn't help but sigh comfortably.
Not long after, Ye Hui, who was standing outside, heard the sound of singing coming from inside. He couldn't help but smile.
