Love So Sweet

Chapter 34: Mu Zhen Yu Wanted to Join Them

“Brother Zhen Yu, what do you want to play with? Lego? Or should we draw together?” Zhang Li Xue made her suggestion as the two of them stood in front of her playroom. These were the things that they often do when they were playing together.

Zhang Li Xue thought of other things that they could play.

Recently, her grandmother had given her a new set of dolls, and then, her Uncle Qi Zheng had given her a tea set. She especially loved them and would often use them to play with her mother. However, she did not think that Brother Zhen Yu would like to play with them.

Boys don’t like to play with girls’ toys that much, right? These were what the boys at the kindergarten often tell her.

Mu Zhen Yu hesitated. “How about basketball? Xiao Li Xue, didn’t you like to play basketball very much?”

After he found out that the little girl often practices basketball together with Bai Qi, Mu Zhen Yu had always wanted to join them.

However, he had once declined Li Xue’s suggestion to play basketball together. He had thought that as a girl, Zhang Li Xue would not like to play this sport. This was the beginning of their misunderstanding.

.....

Later, Mu Zhen Yu could not find the chance and the courage to correct this misunderstanding.

Mu Zhen Yu could only stand at the side while watching the two of them practicing together. He then realized that Li Xue liked to play basketball a lot. Surprisingly, Zhang Li Xue was very good at basketball. She was even better than Bai Qi.

His hand clenched into a fist. Mu Zhen Yu took a deep breath and spoke, “Actually, Xiao Li Xue, I did not dislike basketball. I-”

“Let’s not play basketball now,” Zhang Li Xue spoke before the boy could finish his words.

Mu Zhen Yu’s expression turned disappointed very quickly.

“The sun is too hot outside,” Zhang Li Xue continued. The little girl did not seem to see Mu Zhen Yu’s disappointed face. “Mommy said, it’s not good to play outside when the sun is too hot. Otherwise, the sun would burn my skin.”

His gaze shifted to Zhang Li Xue’s fair and tender arms. He thought that the girl’s words made sense and quickly readjust his mood.

It turned out that this time, the little girl was not rejecting him because she did not want to play basketball with him.

However, he was still a little disappointed that he did not manage to play the sport with Li Xue.

Zhang Li Xue leaned over and whispered. “Brother Zhen Yu, I have a little secret to tell you.”

The little girl’s soft voice and breath tickled his ear. Mu Zhen Yu suppressed the urge to rub his itchy ears and continued to listen to the girl.

“My mommy said, I am going to be a big sister soon,” Zhang Li Xue spoke. “Brother Zhen Yu, you always look after your little brother. How about you teach me how to be a good sister?”

Mu Zhen Yu wanted to tell her that he did not know much about looking after a baby. However, Zhang Li Xue’s pleading gaze melted his heart and he could not say no to her. “Alright. I will tell you what you should look for.”

Zhang Li Xue clapped her hands happily.

“But, my little brother is still asleep,” Mu Zhen Yu said. “Let’s not disturb him now. Otherwise, my mother would be angry. My mother said a baby needs to sleep a lot so that they could grow up faster. Therefore, you shouldn’t disturb them when they are asleep.”

Zhang Li Xue was listening to his words intently. She suddenly thought that Mu Zhen Yu was very smart.

In the end, the two of them went into the playroom and played with the Lego set. Once in a while, Mu Zhen Yu would tell the girl some tips on being a good elder sibling.

Behind the wall, Zhang Yu Ying was watching her niece as the little girl was building a spaceship with the boy.

Seeing the way Mu Zhen Yu was looking at her niece made her a little excited.

Zhang Yu Ying thought that she had found out an interesting gossip. However, this matter is not something that she could gossip about with her brother or sister-in-law.

“What are you doing here?”

A voice came from behind, startling her.

Zhang Yu Ying turned around and saw that it was her husband, Wei Jun Hao. “You scared me. I thought that you were still upstairs discussing some work matter with my brother.”

“We finished our discussion a while ago.” Wei Jun Hao followed his wife’s line of gaze and saw that she was looking at the two kids. “You were looking after the kids?”

Zhang Yu Ying nodded. She looked at her husband again and her lips tilted into a bright smile. Zhang Yu Ying suddenly realized that she had someone who she could gossip with.

“My brother is still in his study?”

“Uh-huh.” Wei Jun Hao nodded. “He was still reading some documents.”

“Jun Hao, look at them.” Zhang Yu Ying motioned toward the two kids who were playing with Legos together while laughing happily. “I think, the boy from the Mu family likes my niece. Just look at the way he was looking at Li Xue.”

Wei Jun Hao pinched his wife softly on her cheek. “They are still young. What do they know about liking someone?”

Zhang Yu Ying peeled off her husband’s finger from her cheek. “I think Li Xue is quite popular. When I was picking her up from kindergarten the other day, I saw that she was talking to another boy. I think that boy like our Li Xue as well.”

Thinking that her niece had two boys wanting to win her heart made her feel excited about the gossip. However, Zhang Li Xue did not seem to notice anything.

Wei Jun Hao chuckled. “How do you know this?”

“My eyes are sharp. This kind of thing could not escape my eyes.”

“I like you since my teenage years. But in the past, you have never seemed to realize that I have feelings for you.” Wei Jun Hao stared at his wife, wanting to pinch her cheek to vent his frustration. “You still said you have sharp eyes.”

“That...” Zhang Yu Ying took a few steps back. “That was different.”

“How is it different?”

“They say that the person involved usually would not notice what was going on. I think I am like that.” Zhang Yu Ying frowned, realizing that she was somewhat similar to her niece.
