After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 606

Chapter 606: The Troublemaker Zhouzhou
Zhouzhou continued her lament, “Why do you treat me this way? Boohoo, I’m so pitiful.”

“My life is so miserable…”

Before she could slap her thigh in frustration, Lu Ye, with a darkened expression, hoisted the little chubby girl up.

He suddenly regretted not throwing her out when she first stepped into his house. She was indeed a headache!

No matter how well-behaved a child appeared, once they turned mischievous, they were all the same. This was a sentiment even the brats of Sanqing Temple could agree with.

“Alright,” he said, his face stern, “just one round.”

“Okay, okay!” Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up instantly, and the little ponytail on her head perked up. Seeing her this way, Lu Ye sighed softly. He decided to finish the fight quickly and send her away; he could hardly bear it any longer.

“Here I come!” Zhouzhou shouted excitedly, charging forward with her small pink fists. Lu Ye did not evade but directly engaged, showing no restraint in his strength.

One had to admit, Zhouzhou was indeed talented. After training with Xi Mo for a while, she had made significant progress.

Her fighting skills had improved through sparring with others, making her a challenging opponent even for Lu Ye now.

As he looked at Zhouzhou, a trace of admiration flickered in Lu Ye’s eyes.

Zhao Xinghua’s best decisions in recent years were bringing Ye Lingfeng over and taking the risk of keeping Zhouzhou despite the potential of being beaten by Ye Lingfeng.

She was indeed worth it. However, it was frustrating that Zhao Xinghua’s decisions caused them to suffer.

After half an hour, Lu Ye used his long arms and legs to pin Zhouzhou down, finally ending the battle for the day. “Satisfied?” he asked, raising an eyebrow at the panting little chubby girl.

Zhouzhou shook her head, “Not satisfied. Brother, you didn’t fight me properly. It wasn’t fun at all.”

She could sense that he had held back some of his strength. Lu Ye did not hide it from her and said, “The remaining moves are killing blows, meant for enemies. They would hurt you.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou stopped being unreasonable and climbed into his arms, hugging his neck like a little koala. “I knew it, Brother, you’re the best. They don’t play with me, only you do. I like you, Brother.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye felt a bit uneasy and averted his gaze, his ears turning slightly red under his long hair.

He had little contact with humans since childhood and even harbored some disdain for them. He loathed their arrogance, their belief in their superiority at the top of the food chain.

He joined the Fourth Bureau only because they allowed him to stay with his wolf companions, never agreeing to join human teams or interact much with others.

The little girl was the first to intrude into his world and said she liked him. Lu Ye, naturally sensitive, could tell she was sincere. Faced with her words, he felt at a loss.

Zhouzhou, watching him, found his reaction curious. If it were her father or senior brothers, they would be overjoyed to hear such words.

Her mischievous father might even record it on his phone to share with others. Why was her brother reacting this way?

She stared at him, her chubby hands mischievously pinching his earlobe, feeling the warmth. Like discovering a little secret, she exclaimed, “Brother, you’re shy.”

“No,” Lu Ye said, his face stern, his emerald eyes trying to remain calm. Zhouzhou, however, looked at him confidently, “You are.”

She had the evidence. She touched his earlobe again, laughing, “Brother, don’t be shy. You’re great. It’s normal to like you.”

“Enough, be quiet.” Lu Ye detached the little chubby girl from his embrace, trying to put her down.

But she anticipated this, immediately curling her short legs and clinging to his arms tightly, like a little rascal.

“Oh, then I’ll say it more until you get used to it. Don’t be shy, Brother. In my heart, you’re the best. I’ll praise you a hundred times a day until you’re no longer shy.”

Lu Ye: “…”

Where had this child learned to be so clingy at such a young age? Unable to shake her off, he reluctantly picked her up again. Zhouzhou immediately wrapped her chubby legs around him, swaying her head triumphantly.

Seeing her like this, Lu Ye decided to ignore her, focusing on his own tasks. He sat carving a piece of wood, Zhouzhou watching with great interest.

After a while, her excitement waned, and she looked around, her eyes finally settling on his head.

Her dark eyes glinted mischievously as she slipped from his lap, circling around him. At first, Lu Ye ignored her until he felt a soft touch on his head. He stiffened, grabbing Zhouzhou’s hand.

Zhouzhou looked at him with pleading eyes, “Brother, I want to learn how to braid hair.”

Lu Ye’s face darkened, “You can practice on your own.”

Zhouzhou blinked but said nothing, her chubby hands reaching for her own head. Her short, plump arms could barely hold her head, let alone grasp a comb to braid her hair.

Seeing this, Lu Ye felt another headache coming. The little girl’s pestering was wearing him down.

The most unbearable was her wheedling. She hugged his arm, shaking it gently, pleading, “Brother, you’re the best. Just let me practice, please.”

After holding out for three seconds, under her expectant gaze, Lu Ye finally turned his head away.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou’s face lit up with a smile, a cunning gleam in her eyes. She knew her brother had a soft heart. After all, anyone who could be so kind to animals couldn’t be all that bad.

With his permission, Zhouzhou became more brazen, bringing a stool to stand on as she gently combed his hair.

Lu Ye forced himself to focus on his carving, taking deep breaths to ignore the movements behind him. He worked quietly on his craft while Zhouzhou quietly braided his hair.

When Lu Ye felt the little chubby girl tying his hair with a ribbon, he finally realized something was amiss.

Zhao Xinghua suddenly turned his head to look at Zhouzhou, his gaze fixated on the fortune pigtails on her head. Through her eyes, he saw the same hairstyle he had worn.

Looking at the little chubby girl, he couldn’t hold back anymore, gritting his teeth, “Zhouzhou!”
