13 Warm Like A Summers Day (1/2)

Li Xiuying sighed: ”Call me whatever you want.”

Little 4th smiled in victory. He walked towards Li Xiuying and offered her the glass of water.

Li Xiuying: ”Thank you Qin Zhen.” She took the glass from his hand and drank it down in one gulp.

Little 4th had a frustrated look on his face. ”Big Sister YingYing, you have to call me Little 4th. Calling me Qin Zhen is too distant.”

Li Xiuying sighed again: ”Yes Yes.”

Little 4th nodded. He patted Li Xiuying twice on the top of her head.

Big Sister YingYing is really obedient.

Li Xiuying froze when Little 4th touched her head. She hated being touched by people, it didn't matter if they were adults or children, family or strangers. She hated it.

Li Xiuying looked seriously at Qin Zhen: ”Little 4th you can't touch me. This isn't up for debate.”

Little 4th had an unhappy look on his face. He was just rewarding his Big Sister YingYing. He didn't mean to upset her.

Little 4th began to worry: 'What if she stops liking me?'

Little 4th voice contained sadness: ”I'm sorry big sister YingYing, I won't do it again.” His head down was down looking at the ground.

Li Xiuying realized her words may have been a little harsh.

Li Xiuying: ”It isn't your fault Little 4th. You weren't to know. I just don't like being touched by people.”

Li Xiuying: ”Erm, well okay then. Little 4th thank you again for the water I really needed it. My throat felt like it was as dry as the Sahara desert.”

Li Xiuying wasn't good at comforting people so she always used her go to strategy of diversion.

Little 4th cheered up knowing he helped his big sister.

Li Xiuying: ”I'm assuming I'm in your house right now? Where is your family right now?”

Little 4th: ”Everyone is downstairs. Yes, You're in my house, I was so happy when I found out you were here this morning! Mommy wanted to come and check on you but I volunteered instead. Oh No! I forget to check on you.”

Little 4th paused and thought for a moment: ”Big sister YingYing how do I check on you?”

Li Xiuying laughed. It was the first time she genuinely laughed since returning from her past life. It was a light laugh as gentle as a breeze and as warm as a light summers day.

Little 4th stood there shocked. His eyes wide and his mouth open like a fish.

'My Big sister is beautiful when she laughs. I have to make sure I make her smile more in the future.'

However Little 4th didn't know how he made his big sister laugh. All he did was ask a serious question.

Li Xiuying: ”You just ask the person how they are feeling and because its the morning you can ask how the person slept.”

Little 4th had an enlightened look on his face. ”Big Sister YingYing how are you feeling? How did you sleep?”

Li Xiuying said with a smile: ” I'm okay thank you for checking. I slept well.” She deliberately used the word checking to make Little 4th happy.

From the corner of her eye she could see there was someone leaning against the door frame. Li Xiuying immediately stopped smiling. She looked up to see it was Qin Song.

Li Xiuying: ”How long have you been there?”

Qin Song replied coldly: ”I just got here.”
