The little bun had spent so much effort preparing a birthday present and surprise for her. He must have been so excited in the beginning, only to experience cold loneliness when the day came, followed by panic when he couldn't reach her...
How painful must the whole process have been to him?
Upon thinking that, Jennie felt as though a knife was being twisted in her heart. She hugged Leo, not wanting to let him go for even a second.
Lisa didn't want to disturb the two of them, but for the sake of that small trace of brotherly affection left in him, he still issued a reminder, "Jennie, ask Leo to recall those robots."
"Ohhhh right..." It was only then that Jennie remembered that there was a horde of fierce robots revolting and tearing down the residence. Jisoo's arm was still stuck in their hands!
Thus, she quickly spoke to the little bun, "Darling, could you call them back?"
Leo nodded. He then turned to face the screen and his stubby little fingers flew nimbly across the keyboard.
Jennie gasped in amazement as she watched. With adoration written all over her face, she exclaimed, "Darling, how are you this clever? I thought you only knew how to draw! You're really super, super, super clever! I spent the past few years studying everything I could like a maniac. However, this was the only thing I couldn't learn for the life of me. What the heck is coding, C and C++? They're practically the stuff of my nightmares. You're only five years old, yet you're already such a pro! You're a genius!!"
Even though the little bun's expression was still wooden, the light in his eyes had brightened considerably.
However, Lisa standing off to the side couldn't continue watching. He sighed gently, "Jennie, you shouldn't be praising him in this situation."
"Uh... right!" Jennie finally remembered that the little bun had caused a huge mess.
She scratched her head awkwardly and looked at Lisa, "Are you going to ask me to tell him not to do this again? He really has followed through with what he promised me previously. Although he doesn't go on hunger strikes or throw things around anymore, he turned to more sophisticated methods in the end! What if he comes up with an even more sophisticated plan next time if I tell him not to do this again?"
Lisa, "..." That was actually quite possible, considering this was Leo they were talking about.
Jennie spread out her hands in helplessness, "In short, I think it's better not to scold him."
Truthfully, she was being selfish. She didn't want to criticise the little bun given the circumstances today. She loved him so dearly and she couldn't even dote on him enough. How could she bear to say any harsh words to him?
Thankfully, Lisa didn't force the issue in the end.
For the most part, his principles were as solid as floating clouds when he was with Jennie.
The three of them rode the golf cart back to the entrance of the residence.
Jennie stared in astonishment at the magnificent scene before her: the troublemaking robots had formed two neat columns lining the path, as if welcoming them home.
The only mood killer was anguished howling coming from the side——
"Bro, why did you guys take so long?! My arm was freaking dislocated while waiting for you!!"
"It's just a dislocated arm, do you really need to cry like that?" Jennie rolled her eyes and jumped out. She pushed down his arm, giving it a tug and lift, which resulted in a 'pop'.
"OW——" Jisoo shrieked like a pig getting slaughtered.
Jennie patted his arm, "Stop howling! It's healed already. Try it out!"
"Huh?" Jisoo blinked and moved his arm a little. It really was fine now.
However, he still muttered, unconvinced, "You wouldn't have set it back crooked, right?"
"No way! I'm very experienced at fixing dislocated arms!" Jennie replied with total confidence.
Doubt was written all over Jisoo's face, "May I ask how you got so much experience with this sort of thing?"
Jennie: "Because I used to fight with V quite often. His arm got dislocated quite a few times, and I always realigned it for him!"
Jisoo, "..."
Are you sure you were fighting and you weren't just beating him up one-sidedly?
He was really worried for his bro's future. Was his bro going to become a victim of domestic abuse in the future? Forget it, what was he worrying about? Even if his bro was abused, his bro would definitely receive it happily...
