Xia Xianning thought this person was definitely an idiot, which instantly made him lose any desire to interact with Luo Yingbai. He lowered his head and continued playing with the toy car, deliberately turning his body to face away from the other.
Luo Yingbai was not satisfied.
He moved in front of Xia Xianning again, squatted down, tilted his head to look at his expression, and muttered, “Why aren’t you talking to me? Can’t you speak? It’s okay if you can’t speak, I can speak! I’ll talk to you, and you can just nod or shake your head. Nod, just nod a little, okay?”
Xia Xianning was like a silent statue, exuding a depth inappropriate for his age.
Luo Yingbai exclaimed in shock, “He’s even deaf!”
He thought this little brother was so pitiful. No wonder he was sent to their home – his parents must not want him!
Xia Xianning, unable to bear it any longer, pushed him, causing Luo Yingbai to fall on his bottom.
After trying so hard, the little brother was finally willing to play with him! Luo Yingbai excitedly kicked his short legs and laughed.
Xia Xianning: “…”
Is he an idiot?!
Luo Yingbai happily mimicked Xia Xianning’s action and pushed him back. Xia Xianning, already annoyed with him, pushed back. With just a year’s age difference, they sat on the floor, kicking each other’s legs and wrestling, neither able to overcome the other.
Xia Xianning was stronger, and genuinely angry. Luo Yingbai, however, thought they were just playing and soon had red marks on his milky white skin.
Seeing the red mark on the other’s skin, Xia Xianning felt a sudden pain, as if pulled by something, and let go.
He pursed his lips, turned away from Luo Yingbai, and picked up the toy car again, deciding not to engage no matter how annoying the other was.
But Luo Yingbai was now hooked and wouldn’t leave him alone. After poking Xia Xianning a few times and getting no response, he simply grabbed the toy car and ran off.
Xia Xianning was stunned by this shameless persistence, experiencing the world’s treachery for the first time.
Luo Zhao sighed and pressed his brow as he tried to manage the situation with the two children.
