What to Do If I Become the Villain's Daughter

55

Huo Yueze didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "What does Ning Ning mean?"

Huo Guining looked at his bright face and thought she might have been overthinking.

She shook her head and changed the subject, "Brother, did you skip class just to accompany me?"

Huo Yueze smiled, "Half and half. Ning Ning, do you want to go to school?"

Huo Guining wrinkled her nose; she didn't really like school.

Huo Yueze was amused by her expression, "You dislike it that much?"

Huo Guining smiled sheepishly, "Getting up too early, and the classmates are probably very childish..."

As soon as the words left her mouth, Huo Guining wished she could bite her tongue off.

She had let it slip.

Fortunately, Huo Yueze didn't notice this slip-up. He laughed even louder, "You're a little kid yourself, why are you complaining about your classmates being childish!"

Saying this, Huo Yueze crouched down, his eyes level with hers. He reached out and pinched her nose, "Being childish is a child's right. Don't be in a hurry to grow up."

The doubt that had just been suppressed surged back, and Huo Guining's eyes darted about, "Brother, why do you say that?"

Huo Yueze seemed completely unaware of her panic and said lightly, "To make you a little happier."

"Brother said he would look after you. So cry if you want to cry, laugh if you want to laugh."

At first, she was worried that he had discovered she was ill.

Later, she worried if she had given herself away.

Now it seemed that, thankfully, he probably just thought his little sister was living too heavily and wanted to encourage her.

Now that he said this, Huo Guining breathed a sigh of relief.

"I understand."

Huo Yueze stood up, and they continued walking.

Before they reached the kindergarten, they heard a burst of loud crying. The wailing was so intense it seemed to pierce the heavens.

The siblings stopped in unison.

Huo Guining clearly didn't want to go further, but she didn't say so, only asking, "Brother, are we still going?"

Huo Yueze remembered that just a few minutes ago, he had said he hoped Ning Ning would enjoy a normal childhood. It wouldn't be appropriate to retreat now.

He gritted his teeth and tried to sound relaxed, "Let's go, why not..."

"Waaah...!"

Another even louder cry came, drowning out the previous one.

After that, one cry after another, rising and falling, without interruption.

The crying was so heart-wrenching that it would move listeners to tears.

Huo Yueze immediately picked up Huo Guining and ran in the opposite direction, "The timing doesn't seem right today, let's try another time."

Huo Guining agreed with a serious face, "Yes, we'll come back when the time is right."

They ran all the way to the playground before they had a chance to catch their breath.

"Ning Ning, maybe you should let uncle hire a tutor for you," Huo Yueze frowned, "The kindergarten is too noisy."
