In the height of summer, cicadas chirped noisily, their cries drifting on the night breeze into the tranquil Autumn Water Pavilion.
Even the cicadas were screaming from the heat, so it was perfectly normal for an ice pop to melt.
Ying Bing's icy skin and jade bones had gone soft. If the back of her head was not resting against something, her whole body would have melted limp into his arms. The hairpin and dangling hair ornament she had just put on were already in disarray, yet she did not have the strength to hide anywhere.
She could no longer hear the cicadas by her ears.
Who told that childish brat to merely sniff at her icy scent at first? He sniffed and sniffed until she could not hear anything at all. Her ears were burning hot. Was this what it felt like to have one's hearing eaten away?
Fortunately, Little Li let go after a while.
"Wait, you can't seal mosquitoes on my neck." Ying Bing shrank her neck back, the moonlight in her eyes nearly shattering.
"But hasn't summer already arrived?"
Li Mo ground his teeth with grave seriousness, like a thoughtful little sealing expert filled with concern for mosquitoes.
"Father and Mother are here... They'll see."
Ying Bing said softly.
As everyone knew, Little Li was a genius.
The genius Little Li pondered briefly. "Then can I seal them somewhere they can't see?"
Mosquitoes could not bite somewhere they could not see, right?
Yet clever Ying Bing somehow failed to think of that at this moment. Not knowing how to answer, she could only twist her body a little.
"Let go for a moment. Be good."
"I am being good. Big Sister approved it, so I won't let go."
"You're poking me."
"Hm? I understand..."
Li Mo
