Gu Nuo’er’s stomach was round from eating.
Ye Siming then brought her out of the Liuyun Palace.
When they came, the evening glow filled the sky. When they left, the moon and stars were slowly coming out and the night sky was already blue.
Gu Nuo’er and Ye Siming walked along the palace path.
She chased after him mischievously, wanting to step on his shadow.
“Elder Brother Siming, I heard that if one can step on the other party’s shadow, they won’t be separated for a long, long time. Watch how powerful I am!”
As she spoke, she was about to jump into his shadow.
However, Ye Siming suddenly stood still.
The child pressed against his back.
Her nose hurt from the collision.
Gu Nuo’er quickly covered her nose with her small hand. She looked up, her eyes filled with tears from the pain.
“Why did you suddenly stop?!”
Under the moonlight, the youth’s calm eyes looked even deeper and colder.
When he saw Gu Nuo’er like this, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Didn’t you say that you don’t want to be separated from me for a long time? I’ll stand here.
You can step on my shadow.”
Gu Nuo’er rubbed the tip of her nose.
She pouted and muttered, “Then what’s the point? Stepping on shadows must be in a chase. It’s more fun that way!”
Ye Siming raised his eyebrows.
This little thing was really difficult to serve.
He suddenly reached out his boot and said indifferently, “I stepped on you.”
Gu Nuo’er was stunned.
The child suddenly lowered her head to take a look. As expected!
Ye Siming was standing above her small shadow!
“Elder Brother Siming! You didn’t follow the rules! Why did you step on me without saying a word?!”
The youth couldn’t help but laugh. “You said that I can step on your shadow.” Gu Nuo’er waved her small hands crazily. “That didn’t count just now!”
“Then I’m going to start chasing you.”
Ye Siming raised his eyebrows. “Little thing, why aren’t you running?”
Gu Nuo’er reacted and grabbed the hem of her dress with her two small hands. She hurriedly turned around and ran all the way.
Ye Siming had long legs and let her run for a distance before following.
Even so…
Gu Nuo’er was panting after a while, but Ye Siming was almost catching up to her.
The child left behind a playful cry along the way.
She suddenly recalled a story her father had told her when she was young when he coaxed her to sleep.
Crying wolf!
Boohoo, there was really a wolf chasing after her now!
Ye Siming followed unhurriedly.
He controlled his speed and didn’t move very quickly.
This was to prevent the child from falling from running.
However, when he saw her jumping figure in front of him, her orange dress looked like a fleeing b.u.t.terfly in the night.
And he suddenly wanted to pounce on the b.u.t.terfly.
A strange feeling of wanting to hunt surged into his heart.
Ye Siming suddenly wanted to pounce over and press Gu Nuo’er down.
The expression in his narrow eyes changed, and his gaze became even deeper and darker.
In such a dark night, he looked like a ferocious beast with great danger.
However, Gu Nuo’er really couldn’t run anymore.
She was in a panic and didn’t know where she had run to.
She only knew that she tripped on the threshold and fell into the courtyard.
Ye Siming immediately sobered up when he saw that she had fallen.
He frowned coldly and hurriedly stepped forward.
The child held her aching head.
Her big watery eyes were filled with tears.
Ye Siming squatted down and carefully checked if she was injured.
Fortunately, her forehead was just a little red.
Gu Nuo’er pouted and looked at him pitifully.
Ye Siming pursed his thin lips. “Cry if you want to.”
Gu Nuo’er pouted even more fiercely.
“I’m not going to cry. Only children cry!” Her soft voice sounded aggrieved.
She reached out her small arm to shield her eyes.
She sniffed stubbornly.
Ye Siming sighed.
He carried the child in his arms.
There was a hint of coaxing in his voice as he said in a very deep voice, “Then take it that I want to hear you cry.. If you cry for me, it won’t be considered that you’re a child, alright?”
