After being picked up by the prince, Xiaojiaohua is wild and sassy

Chapter 31
"Know and still not let go?"

Zhong Liting raised his hand to pull her wrist, "Don't make trouble, your clothes will get wet in a while."

Ruhuahua hugged her even tighter, and the cloak that Zhong Liting had just put on her also slipped from her shoulders and fell to the ground. She was only wearing single clothes, and her soft body was like a small stove, clinging to him tightly, like Keep him warm.

What about lying on ice and begging for carp?
As if thinking of something, Zhong Liting turned his eyes sideways, slightly raised the corners of his lips, revealing some white teeth, and said something serious, "Child, how can you take advantage of elder brother so early in the morning?
"No, no." The honest Ruhuahua was immediately bluffed by his words, she hastily withdrew her hands, stood up straight, and stammered, "I didn't take advantage of my brother."

"It's okay if you take it." Zhong Liting casually bent down and picked up the cloak that fell on the ground, shook the dust on it, put it on her again, and tied it in a knot, "Brother is kind and generous today. You don't want to pay."

Like a flower: "..."

"Let's go, I'm cold and sleepy, let's go in first." Zhong Liting looked a little tired, his whole body was listless, and he looked like he hadn't rested well.

Ru Huahua hurriedly made way for Zhong Liting to enter, and her eyes that had been silent all day finally revealed a smile at dawn.

Zhong Liting took out a clean long handkerchief from the suitcase, and slowly wiped off the frost soaked on the vermilion brocade coat on his body.

On the other side of the tent, the little girl was rustling, not knowing what she was doing.

Zhong Liting threw the semi-wet big handkerchief on the screen casually, "Child, brother needs to catch up on sleep, you can play by yourself."

"Brother!" Ru Huahua suddenly ran over in two steps.

She held a bulging handkerchief in her arms, the mouth was tied, and nothing could be seen.

"What are you doing?" Zhong Liting raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at her with eyes as dark as ink.

Ruhuahua stood on tiptoe, mustered up the courage to hand the things she was holding to Zhong Liting with both hands, and said quickly, "Brother, happy new year."

"Is it for brother?" Zhong Liting lowered his eyes with great interest, and raised his voice slightly, "What is it?"

Ru Hua pursed her lips nervously, but did not speak.

Seeing her flustered look, Zhong Liting finally reached out to take it, and said with a smile, "Brother, can you open it and have a look?"

Ru Huahua actually didn't want him to dismantle it now, but she couldn't find a reason to refuse. She lowered her head, stared at the ground and dared not lift it up, and agreed, "Yes, yes."

Zhong Liting supported it with one hand, and easily untied the knot tied on the veil with the other hand.

The moment the knot was opened, Zhong Liting's eyes were firmly fixed on it as if there was substance.

The red paper seal on the top is very familiar, he knows what it is without looking at it, there are some scattered silver and copper coins under the paper seal, Zhong Liting can roughly figure out the amount by looking at it roughly.

All her military pay, probably, no, judging by the amount, it must be here.

After being stunned for a moment, Zhong Liting came back to his senses, gently flicked the trivial coins on the handkerchief in his palm, and smiled, "Why did you give the coins to brother?"

Could it be that he looks very poor?
Ruhuahua said seriously, "Aunt Yun told me...receiving the lucky money means that the new year will be spent safely, and my brother will also be safe and sound."

Zhong Liting's eyes narrowed, "Are we Huahua giving New Year's money to brother?"

Ruhuahua nodded.

Zhong Liting lowered his eyes and looked at her squarely, "Is this all your money? Give it to brother?"

Ru Huahua nodded her head, her tone was extremely serious, "Give it all to brother."

Zhong Liting's handsome eyes were slightly bent, and there was a sense of relief in his voice, "My family has a girl who has just grown up", "The kindness is repaying, child."

This is undoubtedly the most "poor" gift he has received in the seventeen years of his life, but the sincerity in it is incomparable to those priceless gifts.

Ruhuahua's eyes widened: "Ciwu repays?"

what does that mean?
Zhong Liting briefly explained to her, "It means that when the chicks grow up, they will feed and support their parents in turn."

Ruhuahua felt like a stick in her throat: "..."

She treats her brother as her brother.

Brother wants to be her father?

Zhong Liting put down the veil, picked up the thin red paper seal, shook it, and smiled, "It's just a little suspected of borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."

indeed.

Ru Hua bit her lip awkwardly.

"What my brother sent out, I never took it back."

Zhong Liting's voice was low, and he said briefly, "Child, stretch out your hand."

Ruhua looked up at him, obediently stretched out her hand.

Zhong Liting gently pressed the paper seal on her palm, "Your lucky money, keep it."

Ru Hua lowered her head sullenly.

Zhong Liting dragged his voice and said slowly, "As for these... Well, we spent a year's hard work to save money, and my brother took it with the cheek."

Ru Hua raised her head sharply, "Really?"

Zhong Liting couldn't help laughing, "You won't go back on your word, will you?"

Ruhuahua said sullenly, "Obviously I took advantage..."

"It's different," Zhong Liting said slowly, "Child, you gave me everything, but I didn't give it. After careful consideration, I took advantage of it."

After a pause, Zhong Liting suddenly took out a dark and strange object from his wide sleeve, "Reciprocity, my brother will give you a weapon."

It was a thin pen-shaped barrel made of brass, the size of a palm, covered with a dark matte coating, which looked cold and not very conspicuous.

This is a weapon?

Obviously there are no edges or corners.

Ruhuahua looked at the strange object with curiosity on her face, "Brother, what kind of weapon is this?"

"It's a single-barreled sleeve arrow. It's small enough that you can carry it with you anywhere. When you use it, you only need to press the sleeve, and the arrow inside can be shot out immediately."

Ruhuahua: "Sleeve Arrow?"

Zhong Liting: "Yes, you have good accuracy, and you should be able to get started with a little practice."

The first time he saw this thing, he thought it was very suitable for a little girl, so he asked someone to take one.

Ruhuahua took it over and studied it curiously. It was indeed small, and it was not noticeable at all when held with one hand and hidden under the wrist.

She remembered Zhong Liting's words just now, and groped for a buckle, "Brother, is this a mechanism?"

"Yes," Zhong Liting held her hand, turned it over, and aimed at the screen not far away. With a flick of his fingertips, he heard a "swish", and a short arrow with one finger length stably landed on the screen. screen legs.

"Wow." Ruhuahua exclaimed, ran over and pulled it out.

Zhong Liting handed her a quiver, "There are 12 arrows in it." After finishing speaking, he let out a lazy breath and said slowly, "Go and play, I will rest for a while."

Ru Huahua is freshly growing, she can't wait to nod her head in response, lift her legs and walk out.

Zhong Liting waved his hand, glanced over casually, and then his eyes stopped on the little girl's walking posture.
