Chapter 136: Eldest Brother is Family
Chapter 136: Eldest Brother is Family
Ying Ningzhi saw that Suisu didn't move, and his heart sank.
He took two steps forward to close the distance between them, then leaned in and tentatively asked, "Sis, it's fine if you're not ready to forgive Third Brother yet. Let me at least help you put your hat back on, or your head will get cold."
After asking, he saw that Suisu was just staring at him without saying a word, and his heart sank further. However, he was more curious about something else. "... But, sis, where's your hair?"
In a child's understanding, everyone has hair.
Suisu did have some now, but it was just a short crop, like that of a newborn baby.
Could it be that some evil person had cut off her hair? Thinking of this possibility, Ying Ningzhi's bun-like face turned stern as he pretended to be fierce and said, "Don't worry, sis. If anyone bullies you, just find Third Brother. I've got strong fists, and I'll beat them up for you!"
Ying Ningzhi proudly puffed out his little belly, stopping just short of declaring: Who am I afraid of in the capital?
Ying Zhi originally intended to wait for her third brother to apologize before coming over to comfort her sister and play with her.
But now, Ying Ningzhi was showing off?
No matter how strong his fists were, could they compare to hers?
They were all losers to her, yet they still dared to be arrogant here?
Ying Zhi was the first to be dissatisfied.
So, the little girl angrily went over, snatched the hat directly from Ying Ningzhi's hand, turned her head, faced Suisu with a smile, as if the angry person who had just snatched the hat wasn't her.
Ying Zhi was very gentle with her sister. "Suisu, don't be afraid. I'm here. Rest assured, my fists are the strongest in the capital!"
As she spoke, Ying Zhi gently put the hat back on Suisu's head.
With the cool breeze off her head, Suisu finally reacted.
Lifting her head, she met Qia Qiao's gentle gaze, and when she looked further, she saw various expressions on her brothers' faces, mostly concern.
Especially Ying Ningzhi, who now looked regretful and helpless, his pitiful gaze as a little chubby boy easily softening people's hearts.
Seeing this, Suisu gently waved her hand and said hurriedly, "Third Brother, I didn't mean to blame you. I just didn't react in time."
Suisu wasn't very good with words, and after thinking for a while, she still hadn't organized her thoughts. She was so anxious that her eyes turned red.
Ying Zhi gently stroked the little girl's slightly chubby cheeks and said with a smile, "Take your time, Suisu. Tell me what you want to say, and I'll help you say it. It's very normal for you to blame Third Brother. It was his fault for being careless. He deserves it."
Suisu didn't know how to respond to this, so she just shook her head lightly to indicate that she was fine and truly didn't blame Third Brother.
Seeing that his sister no longer blamed him, Ying Ningzhi instantly felt rejuvenated.
He had been careful not to scare her earlier, so he hadn't dared to get too close, but now he squeezed over and said with a smile, "It's good that you don't blame Third Brother. Later, I'll give you one of my hats to wear, but it's the one I wore when I was little, and I don't know if it'll fit you."
Ying Ningzhi seriously considered this question for a while but couldn't figure it out.
Hearing this, Ying Zhi rolled her eyes. "What's so good about that stinky old hat of yours?"
After scolding her brother, Ying Zhi turned to Suisu and said, "Don't worry, Suisu. I have a lot of pretty hats that I haven't worn yet. They're new. I'll get them for you to choose from later, and you can wear whichever one you like!"
When Ying Zhi said this, she deliberately emphasized the words "haven't worn" and "new."
The implied criticism was obvious.
Ying Ningzhi pretended he didn't understand and stubbornly retorted, "How is mine smelly? I washed it till it's nice and fragrant! And just because you have a new hat, does that mean I can't have one too? Mine even has jade inlaid on it!"
Ying Zhi didn't even glance at him as she rebutted, "Who doesn't have jade? It's not like it's some rare treasure."
Ying Ningzhi: ...!
The young boy's face turned red from anger, and though he wanted to argue with Ying Zhi, he couldn't find a retort. Finally, he could only place his hands on his waist and huff as he turned to Ying Junzhi, "Big brother, look at her!"
Ying Junzhi stood by, smiling as he watched his younger siblings bicker.
Seeing that Ying Ningzhi had apologized, Ying Junzhi took a couple of steps forward to stand before Suisu. He gently asked, "Does your neck hurt, Suisu? Did Third Brother hurt you when he pulled off your hat?"
After all, his younger brother had injured someone, and it was only right that he followed up to ensure her well-being.
Though Ying Ningzhi was young and impetuous, Ying Junzhi, as the eldest brother, felt responsible for his sibling's actions.
Even though Ying Junzhi was only a youth himself, he carried himself with the poise of a gentleman, and his demeanor exuded a gentle and refined aura.
If Ying Zhi was like the radiant morning sun, then Ying Junzhi was akin to the warm afternoon sun, bringing comfort to all.
Suisu felt that this brother gave off a very pleasant feeling with his words and actions.
As he gently inquired about her well-being, his gaze upon her was equally gentle.
Suisu felt a little embarrassed under his gaze and lowered her lips, shaking her head lightly, "It doesn't hurt, I'm fine."
Seeing that the little girl wasn't in pain, Ying Junzhi carefully examined her jaw and the area behind her ear, ensuring there were no marks left by the hat. Only then did he truly feel relieved.
He raised his hand to adjust her hat properly and softly said, "What kind of little hat does Suisu like? After Big Brother returns, I'll ask someone to buy one for you, alright?"
After asking, he felt that his words lacked sincerity, so he added, "I'll buy a new one, a hat just for Suisu, alright?"
Ying Junzhi's tone was gentle as a spring breeze, softly brushing past Suisu's ears and settling in her heart.
Suisu felt that this brother was so gentle and kind.
She raised her head, her curiosity about this eldest brother growing. As their eyes met, she saw the sincerity in his gaze, and Suisu thought...
What the eldest brother said was probably true.
For a child, the allure of having their own new hat was indeed tempting.
Suisu had wanted to agree, but then she remembered what Lele had told her—it wasn't polite to readily accept things from others.
Lele had said that it was about manners. Sometimes, people were just being polite, and if she accepted, it would create an awkward situation for everyone.
With these thoughts in mind, Suisu gently shook her head, "No need, thank you, Big Brother."
Ying Junzhi had been about to nod in agreement but ended up mirroring her shake of the head. He felt helpless and his heart ached a little.
He raised his hand to pat Suisu's head gently, his tone still gentle, "If you like it, just say so, Suisu. Big Brother is family."
