Chapter 408: I'm Not a Little Fool
Chapter 408: I'm Not a Little Fool
If it were anyone else, Lu Yinsong might think that they were talking without considering his situation.
His leg was broken, not theirs.
They advised him to take it easy because they hadn't experienced it themselves, so their words didn't carry much weight.
But Suixui's words had a different effect on him.
Perhaps it was because...
Even though the little girl had once lived through hardships, endured torment, and faced life and death several times, she still chose to face life with a smile.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with her past sufferings.
Occasionally, when she recalled those times, she would pick out the sweet moments and comfort herself, telling herself that life was still good and worth continuing.
Although his experiences differed from Suixui's.
Suixui had endured hardships and finally achieved rebirth, ushering in a bright future.
Whereas he had fallen from the pinnacle and plunged into the depths of an abyss, and when he looked up at the scenery above, his mindset was inevitably different.
However, the strange thing was...
Suixui's persuasion, the little girl's concern and admiration, Lu Yinsong saw it all and took it to heart, even feeling a hint of temptation.
He even felt a twinge of regret, thinking that if he had exercised more, been more focused, and had stronger abilities.
Would today's events have turned out differently?
There were no 'what ifs' or second chances in life.
Lu Yinsong had long understood this, but he couldn't help but indulge in these thoughts.
Realizing what he was thinking, Lu Yinsong sighed helplessly, then reached out and gently patted Suixui's head, "If your body hurts, take a rest. Don't move around, or your injury might worsen and cause you pain later."
Suixui still wanted to move, as she was worried about her fourth brother's wound, so she turned her head away, "But..."
Lu Yinsong gently turned Suixui's small head back and pulled her to sit beside him, "The bleeding has stopped. Don't worry, this leg belongs to your fourth brother, even if I can't stand up. But I still cherish it, don't be afraid, don't panic, I understand."
Suixui was comforted and snuggled obediently in her fourth brother's embrace.
Lu Yinsong rarely doted on his sister.
When his leg was uninjured, he often played ball and practiced martial arts with his friends, returning home dirty and smelly, which Lu Xuerou disliked, so she avoided getting close to him.
After his leg injury, he deliberately cut off contact with others, and even when his sister tried to approach him, he coldly rejected her.
Now, with Suixui in his arms, feeling the closeness of her small body, Lu Yinsong experienced a strange sense of comfort he couldn't quite describe.
A sister...
Was indeed a magical being.
Reflecting on his neglect of his own sister over the past few years, Lu Yinsong felt a rare twinge of guilt.
Although this might be how his life would be from now on.
However, he still had many choices.
Perhaps taking a step forward, the outside world might offer a better view?
If he hadn't gone out today, he might not have met Suixui and wouldn't have touched...
This little head of soft fur.
Indeed, the texture was quite pleasant.
Softer and more pleasant to touch than Little Fox Cub's fur.
Lu Yinsong found himself becoming addicted to the sensation.
Suixui's soft fur wasn't very long, and it had gotten a bit messy after rolling down earlier, but now it was even more disheveled, and there was some static electricity.
Lu Yinsong was zapped a few times.
Yet, he couldn't bear to stop, continuing to caress her hair aimlessly.
Lu Yinsong had no particular technique; he just touched wherever he felt like it.
Suixui was touched by him twice, causing her to lean back and forth.
The little girl thought her fourth brother was playing with her and giggled, "Fourth Brother, you're so strong!"
Lu Yinsong realized that Suixui was almost knocked over by his own actions, so he sheepishly reduced his strength and tried to make up for it, "I practice a lot usually."
Upon hearing this, Suixui immediately nodded, "Yes, practicing indeed has its benefits. I've already learned to play the zither, and my master said my playing has improved recently!"
Lu Yinsong didn't want to worry the child, so he endured the pain and casually chatted with Suixui, "Really? What have you learned? Tell me, Fourth Brother."
When it came to this topic, Suixui became even more enthusiastic.
Although the little girl was still in pain, when she spoke about something she was interested in, she couldn't control herself, "I learned the Three-Character Classic and the Hundred Family Surnames. Next, I'll learn the Thousand Character Essay. My master said I have great talent, and it would be a waste not to learn!"
"I'm learning the zither slowly. My master said I need to master the basics first, then my playing will improve!"
"My mother empress said she would find an embroiderer to teach me embroidery. She also said I could choose not to embroider, but I must learn the skill!"
"I'm also learning arithmetic soon, but it's so difficult. I can't seem to learn it..."
...
Lu Yinsong felt a bit dizzy at this point.
He had lost quite a bit of blood earlier, and if it weren't for the pain waking him up, he might still be unconscious.
Not wanting to worry Suixui, he bit his lower lip, drawing blood, and the pain helped him regain some consciousness, "Really? What's difficult about arithmetic? It's such a simple matter. Can't you even count how many steamed buns you eat in a day?"
After hearing this, Suixui was quite dissatisfied, "It's not calculated like that!"
Lu Yinsong smiled helplessly, "Then how is it calculated, little fool?"
"I'm not a little fool!"
...
The siblings chatted for a long time, and Suixui's mouth became dry. She felt something heavy on her body and turned her head to discover...
The Fourth Brother had fainted again! Half of his body was pressing down on Suixui, which made her feel the weight.
"Fourth Brother?"
"Fourth Brother, wake up, please!"
...
After calling out several times without a response from Lu Yinsong, Suixui became anxious, "Lele, will Fourth Brother die? I already stopped his bleeding, didn't I?"
Just as the system was about to offer reassurance, it noticed that within the detectable area, a small green dot representing a human had appeared.
This was a new feature after the system's recent upgrade, and it was so useful! Seeing this, the system immediately spoke up, [Don't be afraid, someone is coming!]
Upon hearing that someone was approaching, Suixui immediately turned her head to look around, not even paying attention to Lu Yinsong who was lying on top of her, "Where? Where are they?"
The little girl wanted to call out, but she was afraid that the person coming wasn't a friend. She nervously tugged at Lu Yinsong's clothes.
The news of Suixui and Lu Yinsong being attacked and disappearing in the smoke quickly reached Princess Qi.
Princess Qi felt her vision darken upon hearing this.
She pinched her arm to stay conscious and immediately arranged for people to search for them.
Suixui always had guards accompanying her, especially when they went out to play; there were quite a few guards around.
Earlier, when Suixui was playing in the woods, this area wasn't particularly dangerous, so the guards weren't extremely close.
They also met Lu Yinsong's guards, and they exchanged experiences.
But within such a short time, an accident happened!
