Chapter 61: Bureau of Prevention and Control 8

The wind stirred the branches, and light and shadow danced.

Xu Suihe suddenly understood, his whole being brightening.

Then, the little fellow, convinced he had vanquished his "greatest foe," happily waved his two chubby paws and began enthusiastically swatting at the sunbeams.

So fun!

After the fifth failed attempt, the persistent Xu Suihe once again spread his claws and closed them—

And then... nothing happened.

Because the little one was subdued by his Elder Brother!

His paws were pinned, and his arms were restrained. Xu Suihe was like a kitten forcibly dressed in a sweater and shoes, every hair bristling with defiance.

After struggling in vain, Xu Suihe opened his mouth to wail—

Chen Haoyu: "We must strictly control the pollution levels from the contaminated Black Rock, striving to prevent another pollution incident..."

His round, blue eyes blinked twice, and the chubby child obediently closed his mouth.

He’d wail later!

The little one vowed!

He waited and waited, finally waiting for Chen Haoyu to finish speaking. Xu Suihe tilted his head back, ready to wail—

Ye Juanshuang: "The Pollution Research Institute discovered that S-class pollutants can establish domains on the pollutant Black Rock..."

The little one, whose attempt was cut off again: "..."

Fine, he’d wait a bit longer.

But after Ye Juanshuang finished speaking, there was the young researcher; after the young researcher finished speaking, there was Lu Shuze...

Back and forth, over and over, the seemingly endless speeches made Xu Suihe dizzy and disoriented, his mind wandering.

Suddenly, the roar of a motorcycle came from outside, like a thunderclap, rushing past beneath the window.

The little one, who had been interrupted repeatedly and never managed to wail, jolted and snapped to attention.

He looked up at his Elder Brother’s solemn expression, then at the seemingly unfazed members of the meeting room. Xu Suihe’s chubby face scrunched in suspicion: Why did the little one feel something was off?

Were they teasing him?

*Chubby child alert.jpg*

But after watching and searching for a long time, he still found no flaws. Xu Suihe couldn’t help but feel confused.

He tilted his head skeptically: Was today just not his day for whining?

Just as Xu Suihe was deep in thought, Shang Yanci quietly lowered his gaze.

When his eyes fell on his younger brother’s face, which had puffed out thoughtfully, making it look even rounder and chubbier, like a little bun, a smile quietly spread across his eyes.

He bit back a laugh, freed up one hand, and gently stroked the little one’s back as if to comfort him, silently soothing him.

However, it was this very action that made Xu Suihe, deep in thought, eyes light up.

Brother had let go with one hand~

Now only one hand was restraining the little one!

With a bit of effort, the little one could regain his freedom!

Seeing hope, Xu Suihe’s morale lifted.

For the rest of the time, he threw himself into the effort, squirming with all his might, wholeheartedly dedicating himself to the mission of resisting Elder Brother’s restraint!

Until the meeting ended.

"Don’t worry, go back and rest well." Gu Xingzhi still had matters to attend to. After giving a few quick reminders to the two little ones, he hurried away.

Ye Juanshuang and the others did likewise.

Watching everyone come and go in a hurry, and then looking at the quickly quieted meeting room, the chubby child finally caught on: "Brother!"

"—Meanie!!"

Elder Brother, who had handled the little one’s flailing, wailing, and other issues with just one simple arm, making the little one struggle earnestly yet stay put for most of the meeting, had a hint of a smile in his dark eyes.

"Mm, I’m bad."

He picked up the chubby little one and walked out of the meeting room: "I remember last time we passed by the sweet shop downstairs, Xiao Guai, you kept staring at the steamed milk custard displayed on the counter without blinking."

Hearing this, Xu Suihe’s fluffy head wobbled, and a few tufts of black hair stood up, like a puppy’s ears pricking up at the key phrase.

Seeing this, a smile warmed Shang Yanci’s eyes, spreading like ripples.

He gently tweaked one of the unruly tufts of hair, his voice laced with amusement: "Let’s go buy steamed milk custard now, okay?"

Of course, good!

Xu Suihe’s round blue eyes lit up, and he was about to nod happily—

Wait, no.

The chubby child hurriedly stopped his head from nodding, straightened up, puffed out his cheeks seriously, and emphasized earnestly: "No!"

I’m not that easy to win over!

"Waaah!"

It’s just giving you a chance to coax the little one!

The pale, soft-cheeked little bun’s chubby cheeks quivered as he insisted loudly and seriously that he wasn’t easy to coax at all...

Shang Yanci, who had pretty much guessed Xu Suihe’s thoughts, bit back a smile and replied with an equally serious expression: "I understand. Our Xiao Guai is definitely not a child who’s easy to coax."

"Steamed milk custard is just a small apology—it can’t possibly shake Xiao Guai’s steadfast resolve!"

It was exaggerated.

But the little one with "steadfast resolve" completely fell for it.

In high spirits, Xu Suihe clung to his big brother’s neck and pleaded in a tiny voice: "Aww!"

Brother, I'm glad you understand. Let's go buy the steamed milk pudding now~

...

After finishing a small bowl of steamed milk pudding, Xu Suihe, who had been insisting that he wasn't that easy to please, beamed. Content and satisfied, he nestled in his brother’s arms and was carried home cheerfully.

But the chubby child's happiness didn’t last long.

Outside the window, the city sparkled with lights, bathed in light under the night sky—radiant and bustling.

Ruibin Community, Building 7, Unit 2, Floor 3, Apartment 301.

In the softly lit bedroom, on a wide, thick, and soft bed, the chubby little child stood there, hands on hips, glaring fiercely at the little bear plush toy propped against the pillow. His childish voice was full of indignation: "Brother, bad!"

"Hide! From me!"

Xu Suihe was super upset!

—Brother was actually keeping something from him!

Just moments ago, Shang Yanci was sitting by the bed. The moment Xu Suihe moved closer, he immediately locked his phone.

Brother never used to do that!

The little hypocrite thought angrily.

Even though Xu Suihe also had secrets he kept from Shang Yanci, when the situation was reversed and it was Shang Yanci hiding things from him, this little hypocrite immediately became unhappy and sulky.

Staring at the little bear plush on the pillow, treating it as his brother, the little hypocrite put on a stern face and scolded righteously: "Woo-ah!"

How could you keep secrets from me!

"Aw-woo?!"

Why can’t I see your phone?!

"—Xiao Guai?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

Then, the half-open bedroom door was pushed wider. Shang Yanci walked in holding a porcelain bowl, glanced at his precious little brother who looked like a soft white mochi on the bed, and raised an eyebrow: "What are you muttering to yourself?"

The little one, who had been acting all proud in front of the bear plush, immediately turned as meek as a little quail the moment he saw his brother, his blue eyes pure and innocent.

In response, he said firmly: "Nothing!"

I didn’t say anything!
