“Nangong Suo.”
Su Ling’s sobbing paused for a moment. He didn’t understand why Ye Moran had suddenly mentioned her.
“If I told you that the person you’ve been chatting with is Nangong Wan, would you believe me?”
“No, that’s impossible… I…”
“Heh, I knew you wouldn’t believe me.”
“…”
“Little Fellow, your trust in others is far greater than your trust in me!”
“…”
“Then today, I’m going to let you see exactly what kind of people those you trust really are!”
“…”
***
Ye Moran’s voice was low, and her tone carried a heavy sense of mockery. She yanked the Little Fellow out of the closet!
Carrying him straight to her computer, she pulled out a data cable and connected the mobile phone to the computer.
***
She turned her head and looked at the panicked Little Fellow, suddenly laughing.
“Tell me, if I call her now, will she pick up?”
“No, she won’t. She… she’s just a friend I just met. It’s not her.”
Su Ling shook his head with difficulty. He didn’t know what to do, and he could hear his own voice trembling uncontrollably.
Ye Moran ignored him and clicked gently. The next moment, a call page popped up!
Gulp!
Su Ling endured the pain and subconsciously took a step back. He wanted to run. It felt as if there was only one thought left in his head. ‘I have to get away.’
But as soon as he took a step, his clothes were grabbed.
“Little Fellow, running away won’t solve anything!”
“…”
“Ye Moran, let him go!”
Suddenly, a voice that was both familiar and strange echoed in the room. Su Ling trembled all over and turned his head in disbelief, only to see a familiar face on the screen.
“Why… why is it like this…”
“Because she likes you. Isn’t that right, member of the Nangong Family?”
“Ye Moran, don’t bully him! If you’re so capable, come at me!”
“You’re just a…”
***
Ye Moran grabbed the mobile phone and crushed it with a forceful squeeze. Nangong Wan’s voice stopped abruptly.
“Now, you should believe me, right?”
Su Ling raised his head. His tear-filled eyes stared at her with confusion, as if seeking an answer from her.
“It’s because she tampered with the mobile phone she gave you!”
“You thought she was kind enough to give you a mobile phone, but in reality, it was nothing more than bait to keep you trapped!”
“I’ve known about this phone from the moment you brought it home, but I never confiscated it!”
“…”
“Because I wanted you to know just how bad people on the outside are!”
“Everyone has impure intentions regarding you. When I asked her if she liked you just now, why do you think she didn’t answer?”
“W-Why?”
“Because she didn’t dare. She was afraid that if you knew she liked you, you wouldn’t play with her anymore. Then she wouldn’t be able to get close to you and eventually devour you completely!”
“Little Fellow, I won’t give you The Penalty for this matter!”
“But you must understand one thing!”
“What thing?”
Su Ling looked at her with a dazed expression. His mind was a mess, and his heart was in turmoil. He couldn’t straighten out many of these things.
“Many of those who want to get close to you and be your friends are bad people. I don’t want you to have contact with them because I only want to protect you so you won’t be hurt by them.”
“Is Nangong Suo a bad person?”
“Of course. She is an absolute villain. She has always wanted to snatch you away from me. If you don’t believe me, I still have her business card here. You can add her as a friend and ask her yourself!”
“No, there’s no need.”
“Elder Sister, I… I’m so tired. I… I want to sleep. Is that okay?”
“Of course. Sister will hold you while you sleep, okay?”
“…”
Su Ling was carried to the bed by her. He didn’t offer any resistance throughout the process.
***
Su Ling shrunk himself into his sister’s arms, his small hands clutching her tightly.
“Why are you holding me so tight? I’m not going to run away.”
Ye Moran smiled and tried to pull the Little Fellow’s hands away.
“Don’t!”
Su Ling raised his head. His eyes were slightly red, and the emotions within them seemed ready to overflow, making him look pitiful.
“Elder Sister, will you lie to me?”
Ye Moran was taken transiently aback.
“Why do you ask that?”
“Are you afraid of being lied to?”
“Tell me, will you lie to me?”
Su Ling gripped her with both hands, his lips pressed together. He didn’t like her deflective answer; he wanted the most direct answer: yes or no.
“Have I ever lied to you?”
Ye Moran was in a good mood. she touched the Little Fellow’s cheek and asked with a smile.
“Yes!”
“And besides, I’m the one asking you!”
Su Ling’s small face was full of grief and indignation. Was it really that hard to get a straight answer?
“Little Fellow, if I lie to you, it’s because I love you. My deceptions carry no harm.”
“That’s not true! You’re lying! You… you make it so I can’t get out of bed every time! You’re always hurting me!”
Su Ling had a serious expression. It hurt like death every time, yet this person dared to say she wasn’t hurting him. She was lying! It’s all a lie!
Ye Moran’s brow furrowed. The Little Fellow suddenly began to struggle. She could control him with one hand at first, but his struggling grew more and more intense.
Left with no choice, she temporarily let go, allowing the Little Fellow to run to the corner of the bed.
“You lied to me! You aren’t a good person either! None of you are good people!”
Ye Moran was actually amused by the Little Fellow’s miraculous line of thinking.
“I told you, I lie to you for your own good!”
“If you think that’s not good, then I can promise you that I won’t lie to you anymore!”
She dampened her temper and continued to coax the Little Fellow with a persuasive tone.
Su Ling bit his lower lip, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
“How about this? You can make one small request of me every day. As long as it isn’t excessive, I will agree to it.”
“At that time, you can see if I’ve done it to determine if I’ve lied to you, okay?”
Su Ling thought for a moment and felt that this method seemed quite good.
“Then… if you can’t do it, there must be a punishment.”
“What punishment?”
Ye Moran arched an eyebrow. This Little Fellow could actually think of giving her a punishment? However, what would the Little Fellow’s punishment even be?
“I… I don’t know. Anyway, when the time comes, I… I’ll decide how to punish you, and you can’t go back on your word.”
“Mhm… fine, I agree.”
Ye Moran pretended to think about it, pursing her lips slightly before slowly nodding.
“That won’t do. You have no sincerity like that. You have to take The Vow!”
When Su Ling saw her nonchalant appearance, his anger flared. This person wasn’t being serious at all; she was completely treating his words as wind passing through her ears!
“Fine!”
Ye Moran’s expression turned serious. She raised her hand and extended four fingers, speaking with a very solemn expression!
“I, Ye Moran, hereby take The Vow. From now on, I will agree to one request from the Little Fellow every day, provided it isn’t too excessive. If I do not complete it, I will accept the Little Fellow’s punishment. I shall never break my word!”
“Is that acceptable, Little Fellow?”
“Mhm… I suppose so.”
Su Ling avoided her gaze and nodded slightly.
“Then come back here.”
Ye Moran pointed to her chest, signaling for the Little Fellow to hurry up and lie back down.
Su Ling didn’t think much of it. He walked to her in a few steps and voluntarily shrunk into her arms.
“Don’t lie to me from now on. I hate being lied to.”
“Okay, I won’t lie to you. Go to sleep obediently.”
Ye Moran stroked his back Tenderness, not making any extra moves. The Little Fellow was very fragile right now and needed her comfort.
Before long, Su Ling closed his eyes, but his hands still held her tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
Ye Moran took everything in and felt that at this moment, the Little Fellow was incredibly well-behaved.
