Steady footsteps sounded from behind.

Ye Siming stared at her angry back and frowned in confusion. “What’s wrong?” Gu Nuo’er wrinkled her nose and turned her head to the side. “Hmph!”

Ye Siming was speechless.

He squatted down beside Gu Nuo’er and looked sideways at her.

The child’s watery and bright eyes were illuminated by the sparkling stream, making them look even clearer.

However, there was a hint of pity and grievance.

Ye Siming raised his eyebrows. “Tell me. You haven’t been very happy on the way here just now. What happened?”

Gu Nuo’er grabbed a stone with her small hand and threw it into the water.

She snorted. “Isn’t Elder Brother Siming a wolfie? I heard that wolves are all very smart. You can guess!”

Ye Siming thought carefully for a while.

He really couldn’t think of anything.

He didn’t seem to have done anything along the way just now.

Perhaps because Ye Siming was silent for a long time but couldn’t think of the reason…

Gu Nuo’er felt even more aggrieved.

A layer of misty light appeared on her eyes as if she was preparing to cry.

She sat on the ground and wanted to make a fuss.

Ye Siming hurriedly reached out to hold her small body.

He gritted his teeth and frowned. “The stones here are sharp. Aren’t you afraid of hurting yourself by sitting down?”

Gu Nuo’er said fiercely, “Why does Elder Brother Siming still care about me? The little brother is so good that you’re protecting him and ignoring me.”

The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. She pouted stubbornly, her tears refusing to fall and hanging in her eyes.

Ye Siming was stunned.

He laughed in anger. “That’s because you asked me to hold his hand.”

Gu Nuo’er also knew that.

However, she lowered her head and said in an aggrieved voice, “But he doesn’t play with me and only pesters you. Elder Brother Siming doesn’t know how to get me involved either… Elder Brother Siming and I are supposed to be best friends!”

Ye Siming instantly understood.

A thin layer of gentleness appeared in his eyes.

The youth’s cold brows seemed to be like melted glaciers, revealing a doting look that he didn’t notice.

“Gu Nuo’er,” he said seriously. “Although I’m a wolf and am vigilant by nature, there are indeed some things that I don’t know much about.”

Ye Siming looked at her steadily, his charming voice low.

“But you can teach me. As long as it’s something you care about, I’ll study it seriously.”

Gu Nuo’er turned to look at him. “Really?”

Ye Siming nodded. “You have to believe that almost everything I do is for you.” Gu Nuo’er immediately felt that she had gone too far.

It was as if she had been spoiled by Ye Siming until she had become lawless. He actually felt aggrieved because of a little brother.

She immediately said guiltily, “I’m sorry, Elder Brother Siming. I was fierce to you just now.”

Ye Siming sneered. “How is this fierce? Can I carry you now?”

Gu Nuo’er pounced into his arms obediently.

Ye Siming wrapped his arms around the child and easily carried her in his arms.

Gu Nuo’er waved her small hands, her eyes big and bright.

“Elder Brother Siming, you’re the best. We’ll have to be good friends for a hundred or a thousand years!”

Ye Siming was stunned. His black eyes lit up like flames.

“You… are willing to be with me for a thousand years?”

Gu Nuo’er nodded docilely and innocently. She narrowed her eyes and smiled. “That’s right. However, a thousand years is neither short nor long. You wolves…”

Before she could finish speaking…

Ye Siming quickly interrupted.

“It’s a deal, Gu Nuo’er.” It was as if he was afraid that she would go back on her word.

The child blinked.

She tilted her head and saw that Ye Siming’s expression was upright, as if he had taken these words as a promise.

He looked at the child, his eyes filled with undercurrents.

Gu Nuo’er smiled and said without any distracting thoughts, “Alright! It’s a deal!”

A gentleman’s word, oh no, a fish’s word can’t be taken back!
