She tried to walk past as quietly as possible, unaware that she had already been spotted while going downstairs.
Sitting across from her big brother, Ruan Shu stole a glance at him and mustered the courage to greet him in a soft, childish voice.
"Good morning, big brother."
Upon arrival, she politely greeted the butler who brought her a glass of milk. "Good morning, Grandpa Butler."
Her serious and obedient appearance made Ruan Fengsi unable to help but look at her a little more.
"Is she only eating this little?"
Ruan Fengsi looked at the food in front of her, which was probably not even enough to get stuck in her teeth.
The butler smiled and said, "Miss has a small appetite."
Ruan Shu took a sip of the fragrant porridge and replied quietly.
"It's already quite a lot."
A big bowl, actually.
The person opposite her sneered, "No wonder you're so small."
Ruan Shu said, "....."
Her cheeks puffed up, feeling annoyed at being called small.
But she was also timid, not daring to look at her stern big brother, let alone argue with him.
The two siblings finished breakfast without saying much.
Ruan Shu glanced nervously at him for a while but quickly looked away.
In fact, she still wanted to try to improve her relationship with her brother if possible.
At the very least, her brother should not hit her. Otherwise, with his fist coming down, she, being so small, would be in serious trouble.
Ruan Shu quickly poured a glass of water and hurried over to him with her short legs.
Although her eyelashes were trembling with nervousness, she made a great effort to not be so afraid.
"Big brother, drink... drink some water."
Ruan Fengsi looked at her with his fierce black eyes and clearly saw the soft, white figure shiver.
"Trying to please me?"
Ruan Shu stammered, "No, no."
"Then what are you doing?"
Ruan Shu looked at him with pleading eyes. "You don't like me, so in the future, could you please refrain from hitting me, okay?"
Her voice was soft and pleading, revealing her fear, yet she still uttered words that could easily provoke someone.
Ruan Fengsi's face darkened for a moment. "Do I look like someone who would hit people?"
His voice couldn't help but rise.
Ruan Shu shivered, her eyes wide with tears.
"Yes, yes you do."
After saying that, both she and Ruan Fengsi fell silent.
Ruan Shu: Waaah… Why did she speak her mind? Will she be hit?
Ruan Fengsi smirked coldly, resembling the leader of a gang.
"Wanna die, little thing?"
Ruan Shu quickly placed the water on the table and ran away.
"Don't hit Shu Shu QAQ"
As she ran, she panicked and shouted, demonstrating a strong will to survive.
Ruan Fengsi's temple throbbed, and in the end, he just laughed in frustration.
"Damn!"
He looked like the kind of person who would hit someone without hesitation. Or that he could easily crush such a small thing with just one finger.
Ruan Fengsi lit a cigarette, planning to deal with that minor issue later.
Ruan Shu ran to her room, biting her finger in frustration.
She was so clumsy that she didn't even know how to please her big brother, which made him angry.
Ruan Shu expressed her worry while holding her toy.
"What should I do, Xiao Mi?" "If my big brother hits me, one punch could knock me down."
Xiao Mi comforted her, "Shu Shu, don't be afraid." "Xiao Mi will protect you."
She was really loyal.
Ruan Shu was deeply moved.
Xiao Mi suggested, "Why don't you inform the Marshal?"
Ruan Shu's delicate face displayed a conflicted expression for two seconds before she shook her head and declined.
"No, I can't tell on him." "If my dad and brother have a strained relationship, I will feel responsible."
She muttered softly, "It's okay, even if my big brother hits me, I can bear it."
Xiao Mi said, "Mr. Ruan Fengsi probably won't hit a child."
"But he looks so fierce, even fiercer than Dad."
Ruan Shu stayed in her room and chatted with Xiao Mi for a while before starting her online class for the day.
Sitting at her small desk, she was serious and wrote neatly in her notebook.
Because she had already completed high school in her previous life, her handwriting remained very elegant and neat.
Both the butler and her father praised her for it, but it made her blush a little.
She studied diligently, and she didn't know how much time had passed when there was a knock on the door, prompting Xiao Mi to open it.
Upon seeing the person outside the door, Xiao Mi's immediate reaction was to rush back and inform Ruan Shu that the big demon king had arrived!
But Ruan Fengsi grinned wickedly, swiftly picked up Xiao Mi, and shut it down before it could speak.
Xiao Mi was completely shut down.
He walked calmly behind Ruan Shu and was surprised to see her studying so seriously.
Children couldn't sit still, and as someone who had raised two younger brothers, Ruan Fengsi was very familiar with this.
Even the quieter second brother was disdainful of the online classes and homework assigned by the teachers, deeming them too simplistic and an insult to his intelligence.
He preferred to tinker with mechanical parts and occasionally create small deadly gadgets as traps, placing them in various corners of the villa to await prey.
Most of the time, it was his unfortunate third brother who fell into traps and then impulsively confronted the second brother.
As for himself... he didn't count.
Ruan Fengsi selectively forgot about the things he did as a child and looked down at the little one studying so seriously with his arms crossed.
"What are you studying?"
Ruan Shu blurted out, "Preschool enlightenment…"
Before she could finish her sentence, she stiffly turned her head to look up at him.
Then she was startled by her own hiccup and looked confused and scared, resembling a startled cat.
The height difference between the two siblings was significant, with Ruan Fengsi standing close, casting a shadow over her entire figure, emanating a particularly oppressive aura.
Ruan Shu cautiously glanced at the shut-down Xiao Mi, her whole body drooping.
After two seconds, she sniffed, closed her eyes, and tilted her face up.
"You can hit me!"
But as she said this, her childish voice trembled.
Ruan Fengsi glanced at her. "If I were to truly hit you, you might not be able to handle it."
Ruan Shu trembled even more, opening her eyes to look at him with clear, fearful eyes.
"Then, please be gentle."
Ruan Fengsi chuckled, "Are you bargaining with me now?" "If you don't want me to hit you, that's fine."
After he said that, he noticed that the little one's eyes lit up instantly.
"Big brother, big brother, what do you want me to do today?"
Ruan Shu steadied her petite frame and spoke hesitantly, her short legs trembling.
Ruan Fengsi smirked, "Today, I'll have you do whatever I want."
Ruan Shu fidgeted with her fingers. "But, but big brother, don't make me do anything illegal."
The little one had a strong sense of justice.
