CHAPTER 551: REVISED: CHAPTER 541 BI XIAOYUAN, YOU ARE REALLY UGLY
Seeing Qu Zi’an and Xia Shi start to further discuss the divorce procedures, Bi Xia slowly stood up and walked to the desk. His eyes were attracted to an old-looking photo frame on the desk.
He raised his hand and picked it up. Bi Xia first widened his eyes, then smiled faintly.
In the photo within the frame, a woman lay on a hospital bed. Her face looked extremely exhausted, but her beautiful eyes were full of infinite tenderness as she looked down at the slightly ugly infant still in swaddling clothes in her arms. Standing beside her was a small boy whose starry eyes were filled with curiosity and joy. At that moment, his index finger was being tightly grasped by the small hand of the infant.
Bi Xia was in a daze. At this moment, he suddenly felt a weight on his body. Bi Xiaoyuan skillfully climbed onto Bi Xia, then the whole person hung onto Bi Xia’s back, with his little head resting on Bi Xia’s shoulder. He said in a childish voice, "Brother, what are you looking at?"
He moved the photo frame in his hand closer to Bi Xiaoyuan, "Looking at this."
Bi Xiaoyuan curiously stretched out his head to look. As soon as he saw the photo, he suddenly screamed, his little hands covering Bi Xia’s eyes, "No looking, no looking, brother, you are not allowed to look!"
Bi Xia: ...
Smiling helplessly, he put the photo frame back on the desk. He reached behind, exerted a little force, and lifted Bi Xiaoyuan into his arms with one hand, then let Bi Xiaoyuan obediently sit on the desk, "Do you know what photo this is?"
Hearing Bi Xia’s question, Bi Xiaoyuan lowered his head, covered his little face in frustration, and said in a muffled voice, "I know, it’s a photo of Little Bun when he was young."
"Ha," Bi Xia laughed out loud, reaching out to pinch the little flesh on Bi Xiaoyuan’s arm, "You said when you were young, aren’t you still young now?"
"I’ve grown up now!" Bi Xiaoyuan raised his head and started to dig through the big pocket inside his little suit. He first pulled out a piece of candy... then another piece of candy... and then another piece of candy...
Bi Xiaoyuan guiltily pushed the extracted candy behind him. Bi Xia cooperated perfectly by pretending not to see, but his starry eyes were half-closed. Lately, Bi Xiaoyuan had begun to lose his baby teeth, so Bi Xia was very strict about his candy-eating habit. He should have guessed that today would be the perfect day for Bi Xiaoyuan to act rampant.
Seeing that Bi Xia did not confiscate his candy, Bi Xiaoyuan glanced sneakily at Xia Shi and found that Xia Shi was also not looking this way and was talking to Qu Zi’an. So, Bi Xiaoyuan got bolder and took out all the candy from his pocket, and finally managed to pull out a driving (fake) license stuck in the pocket’s opening.
Bi Xiaoyuan handed his precious little booklet to Bi Xia and said very seriously, "I’m already grown up, I even have a license!"
Bi Xia: ...
Lightly curling his lips, Bi Xia licked his red lips and asked with a smile, "Alright, then tell me, why do you cover your face when you see your baby photo?"
Bi Xiaoyuan froze, immediately drooping his head in dejection, his little hands covering his face again, "Too ugly! I was too ugly when I was little! All wrinkled, without eyes."
Hmm?
Bi Xia picked up the photo frame again. Not knowing what to expect, when he looked, he immediately laughed out loud. Indeed, newborns are wrinkled and their eyes are closed, but ugly? Maybe not so much since after all, he’s her brother, Bi Xia’s brother.
But looking at Bi Xiaoyuan’s little face, Bi Xia nodded solemnly, "You’re right, it’s quite ugly."
"Brother..." Bi Xiaoyuan pursed his lips, raised his little head, and looked up at Bi Xia.
Bi Xia, still smiling, took all the candy hidden behind Bi Xiaoyuan and put it into his own pocket. Seeing Bi Xiaoyuan’s heartbroken look, about to cry without tears, Bi Xia lovingly patted Bi Xiaoyuan’s little head, "Be good, brother is doing this for your own good. You were already pretty ugly as a baby. Growing up, if you want to keep a mouth full of crooked teeth, tsk, you’d be hopelessly ugly."
Bi Xiaoyuan: !!!
Quickly covering his mouth, Bi Xiaoyuan shook his head in a panic, looking extremely pitiful. But his big eyes lingered on the candy in Bi Xia’s hand, looking very conflicted.
For a moment, Bi Xia burst into laughter. Seeing Bi Xia laugh, Bi Xiaoyuan grinned and stood up to hug Bi Xia’s neck, whispering, "It’s good as long as brother is happy."
Bi Xia was slightly stunned, then smiled faintly after a while, unexpectedly realizing that Bi Xiaoyuan had noticed...
