OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess-Chapter 40: He’s not breathing anymore, he’s dead!
Chapter 40: Chapter 40: He’s not breathing anymore, he’s dead!
"Play?" Bai Yaoyu chuckled softly.
He turned his eyes and said, "You’re called Zhi’er, right? Let’s make a deal, little brother."
"We’ll play hide and seek. I’ll hide, and you find me. How about that?"
Hide and seek?
Bai Zhi’er immediately clapped her tiny hands, "Okay! Let’s start now!"
A crafty smile flashed in Bai Yaoyu’s eyes.
"Then close your eyes and count to ten, no peeking!"
Bai Zhi’er turned around, covering her eyes with her little hands.
In her childish voice, she started counting, "One..."
Bai Yaoyu turned around and ran.
Play with his sister? Not a chance! He had serious matters to attend to!
Getting rid of this little tail would avoid a lot of troubles.
Bai Yaoyu quickly walked down the corridor.
However, before he could turn the corner, he heard a high pitched voice from afar behind him—
"Third! Brother! Got you!"
Bai Yaoyu looked back in surprise.
He saw Bai Zhi’er’s dainty and nimble little figure quickly running toward him.
"Damn! How did she count so fast!" He started running again.
The little one was relentlessly chasing him.
He had practiced martial arts for a few years, his legs were longer, Bai Zhi’er was no match for Bai Yaoyu.
Bai Zhi’er was running when she suddenly stumbled.
In the moment Bai Yaoyu glanced back, out of the corner of his eye, he saw her about to fall on her bottom.
He quickly stopped his steps and turned to dash toward her, even if it meant he would crash to the ground, he securely caught the little girl.
Bai Zhi’er’s little hands instinctively protected her small head.
However, the expected pain from falling did not come.
Instead, there was just a muffled groan from Third Brother.
Her little bottom was sitting on his chest.
Bai Zhi’er blinked her long lashes and looked at Bai Yaoyu.
The little one directly hugged his arm, smiling brightly and adorably, "Caught you!"
Bai Yaoyu was profoundly frustrated.
He stood up and dusted off his clothes, "If I weren’t afraid you’d cry and bring our parents here, I wouldn’t have cared!"
Bai Zhi’er tightly grasped his wrist with her little chubby hands.
"I won, brother, now you have to play something else with me!"
Bai Yaoyu furrowed his brow, switching to another approach to communicate with the little one.
"I’m busy now!"
"What are you going to do? Zhi Bao can help!"
"You’re just a three-year-old, what help can you offer? I’m going to save someone!"
"Save someone?" Bai Zhi’er tilted her head, her big eyes blinking, showing a smile of little white teeth, "I can do that!"
Bai Yaoyu saw that her grip was firm, and he couldn’t shake her off.
He was worried about that person’s injuries.
After some thought, he reluctantly frowned and said, "Taking you with me is fine, but you must promise not to cause trouble and not to tell our parents afterward!"
Bai Zhi’er nodded repeatedly, "Third Brother, don’t worry, this is our little secret!"
Bai Yaoyu, upon hearing this, picked her up directly.
He cautiously looked around to ensure no house servants or servants noticed.
Then he quickly took Bai Zhi’er to an abandoned woodshed in the backyard.
As soon as the door was pushed open, Bai Zhi’er saw a figure lying in the withered straw, severely injured and barely alive.
It was a boy around ten years old, with a delicate face. Perhaps due to long-term malnutrition, he was as thin as a sheet of paper, and his complexion was very sallow.
Bai Zhi’er blinked, "Is he the one brother is going to save?"
Bai Yaoyu put his sister down and reached out to check the boy’s breath.
"I rescued him from the Hongchen Building. He was sold there, and when I saw he was as young as my younger brother and was beaten by the madam, I took pity and saved him."
However, Bai Yaoyu’s expression changed, "Oh no! He has no breath, he’s dead!"
