After Ye Siming walked out, he realized that Gu Nuo’er was nowhere to be seen.

He frowned slightly and looked around.

At this moment, soft footsteps came from behind.

He turned around and saw Gu Nuo’er preparing to ambush him.

She spread out her small hands and deliberately widened her eyes on her fair and round face.

“Roar!” Gu Nuo’er jumped out like a little bun.

She thought that her goal had succeeded and smiled slyly. “Elder Brother Siming, you were given a fright, right?”

Ye Siming lowered his cold eyes and stared at her for a long while.

There was no change in his expression. He even thought of wanting to tease her.

Gu Nuo’er immediately snorted softly and twisted her small body. “Elder Brother Siming, you’re bad! You don’t even play with me anymore!”

Ye Siming saw the child fluttering her long eyelashes aggrievedly and clenching her small hands into fists as if she wanted to hit him. However, probably because she was afraid of hurting her small hands, Gu Nuo’er only dared to wave her hands around in the air.

His lips curled up calmly, and a hint of a smile flashed across his thin eyes.

“Shall I play something else with you then?”

For example, a game of wolf chasing meatball?

“Alright!” Gu Nuo’er’s eyes lit up as if stars had fallen into them. “Let’s call Uncle Bai and Auntie Bai over and play hide-and-seek together, alright?!”

Ye Siming was subconsciously puzzled.

What was hide-and-seek?

However, Gu Nuo’er had already turned around and ran to the main hall, enthusiastically inviting Bai Yi to play with them.

Although the game was really childish, it was the princess’s suggestion after all so Bai Yi couldn’t reject it and agreed readily.

After preparing a fragrant and soft room for Gu Nuo’er, Madam Bai also hurried over.

Gu Nuo’er stood on the stone stool and looked at the three people in front of her.

She placed her hands on her hips. When she smiled, her fair cheeks puffed up and her cheeks were pink.

“Hide-and-seek. As the name implies, it’ll be a game of people hiding and one person will be seeking. I’ve decided! Let Elder Brother Siming come and find us. Uncle Bai, Auntie Bai, and I will be in charge of hiding.”

Ye Siming sneered.

It was so simple.

He raised his eyebrows. “If I were to find everyone, what would I get as the winner? A live sheep? Or a cow?”

Gu Nuo’er took out a piece of candy from her small bag after rummaging through it for a very long time.

Her face was filled with reluctance. “This is the last one I’ve hidden. The next time Mother will give me some will be three days later. Sigh, if you win, I’ll give it to you!”

Ye Siming crossed his arms and said leisurely, “Okay.”

The candy in Gu Nuo’er’s hand was worth ten live sheep.

After they were done discussing, the child waved her finger and said, “Elder Brother Siming, turn around and count to ten. We’re going to hide!”

Ye Siming did as he was told sluggishly.

Anyway, no matter where they were hiding, he would be able to find them the fastest.

Footsteps clattered behind him.

In order to prevent him from recognizing the direction, the child deliberately lightened her footsteps.

However, Ye Siming still heard them clearly. He looked sideways and saw Gu Nuo’er and Bai Yi running away from the corner of his eye.

The youth’s thin lips curled up and he smiled dangerously.

A long-lost feeling of excitement from hunting filled his body again.

On Gu Nuo’er’s side, she waved her small hand, indicating for Bai Yi and his wife to follow her closely.

She whispered, “I know that Elder Brother Siming has a sharp nose, so I’ll bring you guys somewhere. I guarantee that he won’t be able to smell us!”

Bai Yi said nervously, “We’ll listen to the Princess’s instructions!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his wife slapped him.

Madam Bai lowered her voice. “Why are you so loud? Have you forgotten that Siming’s hearing is also very sharp? Be careful not to attract his attention!”
