Chapter 110 - 107: The Cost of Growth
Li Si cast a deep glance at Tian Yaruo’s back, mist rising in her eyes, forcibly pressed down by her. Li Si, you can’t cry. Big Brother is still beside you; don’t make the people who care about you feel worried or sad!
Leng Mochen’s face looked grim as he helped her onto the bed, letting her lie down properly. He stroked her hair and said, "Don’t think about anything. Just rest well!"
Li Si obediently blinked her eyes: "Brother, I’m fine! I’m just a little hungry, that’s why I’m feeling so weak. You absolutely have to get me something delicious later!"
Leng Mochen affectionately touched her face: "Glutton!"
The gloom in Li Si’s heart was considerably dispelled by this one word, "glutton." She raised her eyebrows and said, "What’s wrong with being a glutton? You’re the brother of a glutton yourself! Doctor Liu just said not to eat overly rich food; it’ll make you fat! Just buy me some ribs—that’ll do. You are what you eat, right?"
"If that’s the case, I should get you some pig brain and pig heart!" Leng Mochen said, shocking her with his bluntness.
Li Si immediately reacted, her eyes widening in anger as she glared at him: "Are you saying I need to eat to improve my brains and my heart?"
Leng Mochen smiled: "You’re smart for realizing that!"
"Annoying! Is this how a big brother should act? I’m already like this, and you still bully me!" Li Si didn’t know why, but after spending so much time with Leng Mochen, she felt like she could act spoiled whenever she wanted. That was something she had never experienced in her two lifetimes!
"Really upset? I was joking! How could you take it seriously? Alright, I’ll have someone go buy it! Sleep well for now! Wait for me!" Leng Mochen carefully pulled the blanket up to her neck. He scraped her nose gently as he spoke.
