When Xiao Li heard this, she grinned and begged her brother for mercy.
Xiao Sheng walked forward and patted Xiao Li’s head gently. Then, he squatted down and built a snowman with them.
The three of them quickly built a snowman that was half the height of a man. Yu Bing ran into the kitchen and took two dead tree branches, then stuck them into the snowman as arms. She also used two stones as eyes. A carrot was used as the mouth. She described the snowman’s appearance to Xiao Li as she made it.
Xiao Li listened attentively, as if trying to imagine the snowman she described.
As Xiao Sheng watched Yu Bing talking to Xiao Li patiently, his heart softened.
!!
That warm moment didn’t last long. Suddenly, Xiao Sheng was hit from the side by a snowball. He frowned and turned to look. It was Xiao Lin.
Xiao Sheng didn’t say anything. He lowered his head and patted the snowflakes off his body.
Xiao Lin knew that Xiao Sheng wouldn’t fight back, but a snowball fight was only interesting if people fought back. How could he have a snowball fight alone? Hence, he aimed the other snowball in his hand and threw it at Yu Bing.
Yu Bing was caught off guard by the snowball. Seeing that Xiao Lin’s face was red from the cold and his body was covered in snowflakes, she immediately felt playful. She bent down and immediately threw a snowball at him. “I’m not like your brother. I know how to fight back!”
Xiao Sheng, who was called out, was stunned.
Xiao Sheng didn’t fight back because Xiao Lin was his younger brother. It was just that his heavy burden had long made him lose interest in playing and he couldn’t be bothered to respond.
Yu Bing excitedly exchanged a few rounds with Xiao Lin. When she looked up and saw that Xiao Sheng seemed apathetic, she gave Xiao Lin a look.
Under normal circumstances, Xiao Lin wouldn’t dare to provoke his brother, but things were different now. There was Yu Bing! Hence, his usually hidden troublemaker tendencies began to stir.
Yu Bing and Xiao Lin took turns to throw snowballs at Xiao Sheng, looking like they wanted to force him to attack.
Xiao Sheng raised his hand to block two snowballs flying towards his face. He pursed his lips and shouted in a low voice, “Xiao Lin!”
When Xiao Lin heard Xiao Sheng call his name, he immediately lowered his hand and planned to stop.
Seeing this, Yu Bing immediately shouted, “Xiao Lin, I’ll protect you. Hurry up and fight!”
Xiao Lin was still afraid to move. Yu Bing looked at the way Xiao Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at him. The two armies were at war, so Yu Bing approached Xiao Lin to say a few words. Xiao Lin was successfully instigated.
Then, the two of them joined forces again. Xiao Sheng wasn’t someone without a temper. Being besieged by the two of them, the suppressed desires in his heart exploded. He also made a snow ball and counterattacked.
Jiang Chun had originally come to call Yu Bing home for dinner. When she saw this, she couldn’t help but join in excitedly.
Snowballs were more fun with more people.
The few of them fought in high spirits. Xiao Li, who was standing at the side, heard the commotion beside her and felt the cheerful atmosphere. She was smiling from ear to ear.
Ever since he was 13 years old, Xiao Sheng had never fought a snowball fight like this. When he smiled, his usually serious and mature appearance had a hint of youthfulness.
The few of them played for more than ten minutes before stopping. After Yu Bing and Jiang Chun returned home, Xiao Sheng curled his finger at Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin shrank his head and walked over obediently.
Xiao Sheng knew Xiao Lin well. Xiao Lin wasn’t someone vulnerable to coaxing, so he was curious about what method Yu Bing had used. “What did Yu Bing say to you just now?”
Xiao Lin replied honestly, “Yu Bing said that you usually have a straight face and that you shouldn’t be so tense all the time, so I have to let you relax during a snowball fight.”
Xiao Sheng was stunned. Then, he blinked and said gently, “Let’s eat.” With that, he turned around and entered the kitchen.
Seeing that his brother didn’t scold him, Xiao Lin happily took his sister’s hand and followed behind.
During the meal, Xiao Lin chattered as usual, “Brother, when you find a wife in the future, you have to find someone like Sister Yu Bing. Every time Sister Yu Bing comes to our house, I feel that the house seems to be much livelier. Moreover, she treats our sister very well!”
When Xiao Li heard this, she interrupted, “I’m fine. When our brother marries a wife, she has to care about him and treat him well.”
Xiao Lin ate a mouthful of rice before saying, “I think Sister Yu Bing treats our brother quite well.”
Xiao Li thought about it and nodded in agreement.
