Pepsi pouted . “Yes!”
Si Bai turned pale and began to cough violently .
Mrs . Si was worried, but Si Bai said, “Can you give us a moment, please?”
The grownups exchanged looks, then left the room as requested, leaving the two kids to themselves .
“I’m sorry,” Si Bai apologized . “It was my fault that day . ”
“Of course it was!” Pepsi stood her ground . “You lied to me!”
Si Bai blushed . He had indeed tricked Pepsi and kissed her…
He had never expected the little girl to stay angry for this long .
Pepsi sounded aggrieved . “You promised! You said you’d come after I ate all the candy! I ate them all that night! My tummy ached for two days! But you didn’t come…”
Si Bai apologized involuntarily . “I’m sorry . It was all my fault . ”
… Wait . What?!
“You finished all of it in one night?” Si Bai asked in disbelief .
Pepsi nodded . “That’s right . I worked hard!”
Si Bai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry . The little glutton!
“What I said was: eat one candy a day and I’ll be there before you finish the jar!”
“Huh?” Pepsi nibbled her fingers and asked dumbly, “Did you?”
“Yes, I did . ”
“So… you’re not a liar?”
“I’d never lie to you . ”
Pepsi stood there open-mouthed for a long moment before asking, “Was it my mistake?”
“Hmph . ” Si Bai the tsundere looked away . “And I’m ill because of you . ”
“I – I’m sorry…” stammered Pepsi . “Little Bai, don’t be mad at me…”
Sob… it turned out to be her fault .
She had mistaken Little Bai for a liar and Uncle Qi had scolded Si Bai for it…
Si Bai said in a matter-of-fact tone, “I’ve told you a million times . Don’t call me Little Bai! Call me honey!”
The little boy could be very bossy at times .
The simple-minded Pepsi was no match for his scheming and she called him in her baby voice, “Honey . ”
“Good girl . ” Si Bai smiled in satisfaction . “Pepsi, you’re such a dummy!”
Leaning forward on the bed, Pepsi sighed . “I guess I am…”
“Don’t worry! I’m smarter and I can protect you! I’ll buy you milk powder!” The young Si Bai had a lot of ambition .
“I want to have many, many bottles!” The glutton drooled at the thought . “I’ll drink it! Cola can watch!”
That amused Si Bai . “No problem! We’ll drink together and he can only watch!”
“Yes!”
“Ssss —” Si Bai suddenly grunted and Pepsi asked nervously, “What’s wrong?”
Si Bai said in a low voice, “It’s ok . It’s just a little headache . ”
Even grownups would be incapacitated by a high fever, let alone a kid his age .
Pepsi apologized guiltily . “I’m sorry…”
Si Bai straightened his baby face . “It’s all your fault that I’m ill . The doctor said that I can’t have painkillers, because I’m too young, otherwise I’ll become as dumb as you . ”
Pepsi wrinkled her nose . “What… what can I do?”
“Get up here . ” Si Bai patted the spot next to him .
Pepsi took off her shoes and climbed up on all fours . With much tugging and pulling from Si Bai, the chubby little girl was finally on the bed .
“Kiss me and it’ll go away . ” Si Bai stuck out his lips .
Pepsi kissed him without hesitation!
Si Bai was only teasing her . He hadn’t expected her to do it…
His cheeks heated up instantly .
Was he… getting a fever again?
