Shen Chi stood at the back with his arms folded, quietly watching the extraordinary bustle.
The summit was very open, surrounded by many people. Xu Chaomus little hands also hung with bracelets full of bells, which rang non-stop with a clang, clang, clang whenever she clapped her hands, sounding crisp and melodious, very pleasant to the ear.
The bonfire burned in front of them, its red flames dancing as if waltzing gracefully.
Xu Chaomu tugged on Shen Shihans arm, Big Brother Three, teach me to dance.
You dont need teaching, youre so smart, youll get it just by watching, Shen Shihan said with a smile.
Right, you have a point, Ill watch it one more time, and Ill surely get it! Xu Chaomu, unashamedly and shamelessly, also smiled.
Some people were dancing in front, and Xu Chaomu silently memorized their steps.
Sure enough, after a while, she stood up, and perhaps due to excitement, the wreath on her head fell to the ground. She bent over to pick it up and put it back on again.
She joined the line of dancers, moving her hands and feet with vigor.
The small bells ding-dinged as she occasionally winked at Shen Shihan, making a face and shamelessly asking, Big Brother Three, do I look good dancing?
You look great! Shen Shihan applauded.
Shen Chi, with his arms still folded, let out a cold snort, muttering to himself, Like a monkey.
However, even though she danced like a monkey, he watched the monkeys dance without blinking.
Xu Chaomu laughed very happily, her small face brimming with enthusiasm, her little white teeth glistening like pearls.
The light of the fire illuminated her face, where one could see no sadness, no melancholy, nothing of the calmness from the night before.
Shen Chis lips gradually formed a shallow curve, deepening more and more Chaomu, are you tired? Come have a drink of water! Shen Shihan waved her over.
Xu Chaomu was indeed sweating profusely from the dance, but she couldnt have been happier. She could not remember when the last time was that she had played so freely and unbounded.
She hopped and jumped over to Shen Shihan, took the bottle of purified water from his hand, and gulped down a few mouthfuls.
Then she sat down next to Shen Shihan, who took a paper towel and wiped the sweat beads from her forehead.
Look at you, all sweaty. Just make sure you dont catch a cold, a cold means catching a bug and taking medicine, Shen Shihan said.
I wont, Big Brother Three, youre here.
Im not a god; if you catch a cold, I cant do anything about it.
Look, theres no wind on the mountain right now, I definitely wont catch a cold. Big Brother Three, keep me company for a chat! Its still early, I dont want to go back to sleep.
Sure, you talk, Im listening.
Ill tell you a story about a little white rabbit. I have so many stories, but no one to listen to them Will you listen? Xu Chaomu pouted, a hint of loss in her eyes.
Sure, Im all ears.
Wont you find me childish? Xu Chaomu looked up at Shen Shihan, hopeful expectation in her eyes.
There was someone who always called her childish. She really wanted to tell stories to him, but how could a man like him waste time listening to very childish stories.
He would get impatient.
Of course not, I havent listened to someone tell stories in a long time, let me hear what your little white rabbit story is like, Shen Shihan said with an expectant expression.
However, not far away, Shen Chi, upon hearing Xu Chaomus words, let out a cold laugh, Childish.
Then Ill begin! Xu Chaomu was overjoyed, raising her voice excitedly.
One day, a little white rabbit went to the river to fish, didnt catch anything, and went home. The next day, the little white rabbit went fishing at the river again, still didnt catch anything, and went home. On the third day, as soon as the little white rabbit arrived at the river, a big fish jumped out of the water and yelled at the little white rabbit, If you dare to use carrots as bait again, Ill flatten you!’
Shen Shihan burst into laughter, not so much because the joke itself was funny but because Xu Chaomus deadpan delivery was particularly amusing.
At that moment, the little girl was especially adorable, making one want to pinch her little cheeks.
Shen Chi also laughed, his gaze fixed on Xu Chaomus face, lingering there for a long time.
Big Brother Three, is the story I told funny? Its not childish at all, right! Xu Chaomu rested her chin on her palms and squinted her eyes.
Shen Shihans laughter grew louder, but he still praised her, Very interesting, tell me another one.
Xu Chaomu was exceptionally happy, feeling a sense of camaraderie with a fellow hero.
Big Brother Three, I knew you were the best to me. Let me think, I have so many stories about the little white rabbit Let me think, think
Xu Chaomus eyes rolled around, looking up at the sky, then at Shen Shihan, then fiddling with the little bells on her wrist.
Ive got it! Her eyes brightened, Big Brother Three, Ill tell you.
When the little white rabbit was in school, she was a very outstanding bunny. She could answer almost all of the teachers questions, which made everyone admire her greatly. One day, the teacher gave a very difficult question, no one knew the answer, so they all looked to the little white rabbit. The little white rabbit asked, should I answer in Chinese or in English? Upon hearing this, everybody admired her even more, no one knew the answer, but the little white rabbit knew how to answer in English. So, the teacher said, Lets go with
Chinese first, and the little white rabbit said, I dont know. The teacher asked,
How about in English? and the little white rabbit said, I dont know.
Xu Chaomu was dead serious while telling the story, not joking around, but once she was done, she burst into chuckling laughter herself.
She shook Shen Shihans arm, Big Brother Three, Big Brother Three, is it funny or not}
It is funny; I had no idea Chaomu you were so good at telling stories.
Shen Shihan was amused by Xu Chaomus expressions; he admitted that her stories werent amusing at all.
Just as Shen Shihan was about to speak, Shen Chi approached from behind the trees. His voice was deep, yet carried the power to penetrate the air.
Whats so funny, its not original.
Xu Chaomu was taken aback and turned around.
This voice was all too familiar, if not Shen Chi then who could it be.
The luster on her face dimmed instantly; she knew this man, who never spared ivory from his dogs mouth. Killed the mood, ruined the scene.
Also, why was he here?
In the moment Xu Chaomu was lost in thought, Shen Chi had already come to her side, sat down next to her without waiting for her consent.
It wasnt meant for you, whats it to you whether its original or not, Xu
Chaomu retorted.
She then looked up at Shen Shihan with her little face, Big Brother Three, you agree, right?
Yes, Chaomu, you do have a knack for storytelling, Shen Shihan said with a smile. Was this girl using him as a shield?
See, Big Brother Three has taste. A good story should be told to someone who appreciates it, otherwise, its like playing the lute to a cow, Xu Chaomu persisted.
Shen Chi felt a bit helpless inside, she was indirectly scolding him.
Before Shen Chi could respond, Xu Chaomu disdainfully scooted away from him.
What are you doing now? Shen Chi wasnt annoyed, watching her ever-childish antics with arms folded..
