She...needs to understand.

…

"Master Xiao."

Guo Shan murmured again.

She looked at Master Xiao, with unknowing hope and desire in her eyes.

…

"Master Xiao?"

Guo Shan felt inexplicably uneasy about Xiao Xiao's silence.

After the bamboo tube crackled like pouring beans, Guo Shan's mood was no longer as exciting as it was at the beginning.

Maybe I'm a little tired.

As she slowly calmed down, she noticed the strange silence in the bedroom.

She could clearly hear her heavy breathing and uncontrollable hiccups from time to time.

After all, she is a girl. Even though she is still young, Guo Shan is still a little shy about her hiccups.

Her hand that was originally held by Xiao Xiao was released at some point.

She tried to take a deep breath, clenched her little hands into fists and tapped her chest lightly.

…

Guo Shan slowly stopped what she was doing, and couldn't help but clench her hands tightly together.

Thin green veins appeared on the back of the child's white hands.

She could even look her brother in the eye, but she lowered her eyelids under Xiao Xiao's dull gaze.

She held her breath and concentrated, not even daring to breathe out.

There seemed to be a burning sensation in the corners of her eyes again, but she did not dare to let it flow down easily.

…

The little child huddled up looked too pitiful, not to mention that Xiao Xiao could clearly see the child shivering.
