“You, naughty again.”
Su Qingluo shook her heavy little body and sighed helplessly.
The little prince had grown fat and white over the past year, no longer the lightweight little baby like a kitten in the past, holding him was enough to tire her arms.
He pretended to be an ostrich and refused to look up, so she could only hold him as she walked to the desk, pulled a chair to sit down, and found a comfortable position.
She placed him on her left thigh, her arm wrapped around him to prevent him from falling.
“Sister wanted to help you practice walking today, but look at the wet floor. One could easily slip. How can we practice?”
Her arms no longer sore, Su Qingluo was in the mood to tease the silly little one, wanting to see how long he could keep pretending to be an ostrich without apologizing or admitting his mistake.
Sitting on his sister’s lap was obviously not as comfortable as being held by her, and in a short time, the little prince’s legs began to feel sore and uncomfortable, so he squirmed to adjust himself.
“Xuan’er, what do you say? Shall we practice walking today or not?”
Su Qingluo pouted and looked at him with amusement, continuing to tease him.
“How about we don’t practice? You stay here by yourself, and sister will continue to help villagers clear snow?”
“No! Sister, don’t go.”
Hearing that his sister was going to leave him alone again, the little prince’s eyes became red with indignation, and he reluctantly raised his head.
Su Qingluo pretended not to notice his pitiful expression and made a gesture to get up: “The room’s floor is too slippery, we can’t practice walking. Instead of wasting time here, sister should go out and help our parents work.”
“No, sister don’t go! Don’t leave Xuan’er alone.”
With reddened eyes, the little prince clung to her neck, tears welling up in his eyes and finally spilling over as he couldn’t help it.
“Hey, you!”
Su Qingluo, having her heart soften, couldn’t scold him anymore. She took a clean handkerchief from her pouch and gently wiped his tears away.
“Sister won’t leave, won’t leave.”
The little prince sobbed, his tearful eyes gazing at her, waiting for her promise. “Alright, sister won’t leave. Sister will stay at home with Xuan’er.”
Su Qingluo sighed helplessly and finally gave in to his tears, embracing his soft little body.
Since the floor was too wet, Su Qingluo brought the little prince to the hall, heated the floor, helped him take off his heavy clothes, and accompanied him as he practiced walking.
The little prince grabbed his sister’s hands and carefully took small steps forward, pacing back and forth in the hall, panting and covered in sweat in no time.
“Xuan’er, are you tired? Let’s rest a while and then continue practicing?” Su Qingluo, who was holding his hand and walking backward, could clearly see the beads of sweat on his forehead, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit heartbroken.
“Not tired; sister, stay with me a little longer.”
The little prince persevered, refusing to rest.
“Xuan’er, you’re already walking quite steadily. Would you like to try letting go of sister’s hand and walk by yourself?”
A glint flashed in Su Qingluo’s eyes as she spoke in a gentle, coaxing tone, not bearing to see him practice too hard and push himself too far.
“Huh?”
The little prince blinked in confusion, holding his sister’s hand tighter, not daring to let go.
“Xuan’er, be good. Trust sister, you can do it.”
Su Qingluo’s smile was warm, her voice gentle and persuasive as she slowly retreated, releasing the little prince’s hand.
“Sister!”
The little prince panicked and took a step forward, trying to catch up with his sister.
His wobbly steps were like those of a baby learning to walk.
“Xuan’er, come here to sister.”
Su Qingluo revealed a triumphant smile, quickly stepped back a few steps, crouched down, spread her arms wide, and waited for him with a grin on her face..
