When Gu Nuo’er saw Ye Siming, her watery eyes revealed joy and excitement.

She stood up and ran over.

Yun Linzhou watched as she pounced into the arms of this cold youth.

He thought that people with such looks must be fierce.

However, not only did Ye Siming not push Gu Nuo’er away, but he also let her dry her hands on his clothes.

Yun Linzhou noticed that the cold youth’s gaze looked a little different when facing Gu Nuo’er.

“Your sleeves have gotten wet too. If you do this again, I won’t care about you,” Ye Siming said.

However, even though he said this, he still squatted down and rolled up the child’s sleeves, pinching her soft and cold hands that had been soaked in the stream.

Gu Nuo’er even tugged at his sleeve and whined, “Elder Brother Siming, I feel so dizzy! I was so tired from plowing the soil for little flower just now. Carry me on your back!”

Ye Siming looked impatient, but he still threw her onto his back.

Gu Nuo’er wrapped her arms around Ye Siming’s neck.

She didn’t forget to turn around and say goodbye to Yun Linzhou.

“Yun Linzhou, I’m going home. You should go back quickly too!”

Yun Linzhou was about to say goodbye but Gu Nuo’er had already turned her head away.

Only Ye Siming glanced sideways at Yun Linzhou.

The youth carried the child and gradually walked away into the sunset.

Gu Nuo’er acted spoiled on his back.

She suddenly exclaimed softly, “Elder Brother Siming, I’m going to fall!”

Ye Siming was shocked and quickly wrapped his hands tightly around her calves.

In the end, Gu Nuo’er smiled and revealed her white teeth, saying in a sweet voice, “I lied!”

Only then did Ye Siming realize that he had been played.

He gritted his teeth. “Gu Nuo’er, do you want to be beaten up?”

Gu Nuo’er immediately buried her small face behind Ye Siming’s back and pretended to whimper. “Elder Brother Siming is going to beat me, boohoo. Baby Nuo is so pitiful!”

At first, Ye Siming ignored her. Unexpectedly, the child started to moan in different ways.

In the end, Ye Siming had no choice but to say, “I was wrong, alright?!”

The child decisively raised her head. She had only feigned wailing earlier and there were no tears on her face.

She smiled sweetly. “Alright!”

The two of them walked further and further away until Yun Linzhou couldn’t see them anymore.

He stood alone by the stream, a hint of disappointment appearing on his gentle face.

“I’m so envious…”

They were even better friends, right?

At this moment, dozens of hidden guards appeared behind Yun Linzhou.

“Prince, it’s time for us to return to the manor as well.”

Yun Linzhou nodded. “Let’s go back. I also have to share something happy with Mother. I made a friend today.”

As for Gu Nuo’er, in order to eat sugar cake, the child actually pretended to get dizzy from sitting in the carriage.

She leaned on Ye Siming’s back shamelessly and had him walk past the snack street.

Gu Nuo’er didn’t forget to ask, “Elder Brother Siming, did you bring money today?!”

Ye Siming suppressed a smile on his thin lips and pretended to be cold. “Of course.”

He generously bought the largest sugar cake for the child, which was even rounder than Gu Nuo’er’s face.

The child held it and ate until her mouth was glistening and her cheeks were covered in icing sugar.

Ye Siming carried her on his back and walked along the street that was bustling with activities.

“Gu Nuo’er, don’t drip it on my back.”

“Oh, I’ve already gotten some on it.”

Ye Siming was speechless.

Forget it. This was the little thing he was raising. He wasn’t going to get angry.

At this moment, Ye Siming felt a soft hand gently brushing past his head.

Gu Nuo’er whispered in his ear, “Elder Brother Siming, you’ve worked hard today!”
