The gift is you yourself

So that's what it was about!

Qian Ye finally understood why the little girl had thrown such a tantrum the moment she walked in. It turned out she was incredibly jealous because Sha Sha had received a gift while she hadn't, and her jealousy had completely erupted.

I really don't know what to say about this little girl. Sha Sha is Sha Sha, she's my woman, so giving her a gift is only natural.

But she...

What's the meaning of asking me to give her a gift?

Well, if I don't give her something to appease her, this little girl will probably hold a grudge against me for the rest of her life!

"Girl, just say what you want to say, don't bite me! What if you bite me badly? How am I supposed to give you gifts and make you pills then?"

After saying that, Qian Ye gave her a light tap on the head, telling her to remember this lesson and not to bite people so easily.

"Hmph!" The little girl didn't take it seriously and rolled her eyes. "If you don't give me a gift, I'll bite you." As she spoke, she opened her mouth and bit a piece of flesh on Qian Ye's shoulder.

This guy!

Qian Ye was speechless. "Here you go, here you go! Actually, I already brought you a gift. I was planning to rest a bit before going to find you to give it to me, but you couldn't wait to come to my door. You're really something!"

"Really?" Zi Yan looked at his eyes and facial expression with some suspicion, trying to find a clue or evidence that he was lying, but she found nothing.

Old ginger is spicier, after all. How could someone as seasoned as Qian Ye, who's lived for nearly three million years, possibly possibly be able to read her mind? ♖👤 ♔😾

Two words for her: No way.

"Girl, you don't trust anyone, but you can't possibly not trust me, right?" Qian Ye suddenly started playing the emotional card. In this respect, he really couldn't handle her. If it were an enemy, he could rely on his strength to deliver a ruthless blow or kill them instantly, clean and decisive, without any hesitation.

But Zi Yan is different. She's one of my people, and I can't treat her like that. Besides, she doesn't have any bad intentions. If I want to teach her a lesson, I can only give her a light tap on the head and say a few harsh words. I can't do anything else to her. I can only guide her patiently.

"Besides, have I ever lied to you since we met? No, right?"

"Oh..." Zi Yan thought for a moment, and realized she really didn't have any. Then, as if seeing a rainbow after the rain, she giggled, "Then give it to me?"

"Alright then, I'll give you a big gift." Qian Ye felt that a little girl like Zi Yan who never grew up, even though she was already over a thousand years old, must simply wish to grow up quickly. Otherwise, why would she be consuming so many medicinal herbs? It was all to break the restrictions, break through, and allow her body to grow into an adult.

But sometimes this is not the case. Take people for example, if a thin person wants to gain weight, he or she will eat more, eat a lot every day, eat meat, and eat various nutritional supplements, thinking that if he eats more, he will gain weight, but the result is often the opposite.

The same principle applies to overweight people. If you're too fat, you'll gain weight no matter what you eat. Even if you just drink water every day, you won't lose weight. Even if you eat less, you'll feel dizzy from hunger. And if you finally manage to lose weight, you'll gain it back without even realizing it.

Sometimes, it's simply a matter of talent.

They're fat; they were born with the genes for being fat.

Those who are thin are born with a thin gene.

This may be related to parental genetics, and there is also some environmental factor involved.

"What a wonderful gift? Brother Qian Ye, you can't lie to me, right?" Zi Yan was overjoyed, thinking the gift was huge, even bigger than Sister Sha Sha's pair of jade bracelets, but she was also afraid that Qian Ye was fooling her, so she naturally had to give him a warning.

After all, she was no longer the wild girl who lived in the Magical Beast Forest, but a student who had lived in the Inner Academy Jia Nan Academy for many years and had witnessed the deceit and treachery of humans, their many schemes and how wicked they were.

She didn't want to be fooled. It wouldn't matter if it were anyone else, but Qian Ye was different. She was the person she trusted and loved the most. It was understandable if others lied to her, but Qian Ye was the only one she couldn't be lied to. So she looked at her very seriously and sternly.

The way this girl was looking at me made me feel uneasy all over, a kind of creepy feeling.

Qian Ye shook her head. Forget it, why should she get angry with a little girl? She's not a bad person, just impulsive.

Impulsiveness is the devil, but she's not human, she's a dragon. What's the point of reasoning with a dragon? It's like casting pearls before swine.

Besides, dragons are known for their bad temper. It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature. It's not something that can be changed in a short time, especially since this is a dragon that has lived for a thousand years. We need to be patient and train it slowly!

Qian Ye placed his hand on her head, stroking her soft purple hair. It was so silky smooth, and he looked on with pure enjoyment. "→_→?"

"Girl, ever since I've known you, have I ever lied to you?"

Zi Yan thought for a moment and realized she really didn't have one. She immediately felt a little guilty and shook her head. "Brother Qian Ye, let's talk about what big gift you're going to give me. I can't wait to see it! Let me see it!"

Her eyes were filled with anticipation and anxiety.

Uh~

Qian Ye was speechless. He had wanted to talk to her more to build rapport and have a more harmonious conversation, but this girl couldn't stop talking about gifts. He even wondered if he was less valuable than a gift in her eyes.

"That... the biggest gift is yourself."

Me?

Zi Yan looked around, pondering, not understanding the meaning behind his words. She wondered, "Is Brother Qian Ye really determined to fool me today?"

Then... I'll be very sad!

Nothing is more heartbreaking than being betrayed by the person you trust most.

"Me? What do you mean, Brother Qian Ye? Waaaaah..." the little girl said, and then started crying.

Why are you crying?

Anyone who doesn't know the situation might think I did something bad to her. If someone sees it, I'll have no way to explain myself!

"That girl, I think you might have some misunderstanding?" Qian Ye asked, trying to be as kind and approachable as possible to put her at ease and to get her to open up so she wouldn't think of him as a bad person.

"You said the gift was myself, what else could it be but a lie? Waaaaah..." After saying that, she cried even louder.

(*￣￣)

Qian Ye was truly exasperated by the little girl's thought process. What was she even talking about?

These are completely different things, okay?

Wow wow wow~

Seeing that he didn't speak and was just staring blankly, Zi Yan felt that she had guessed correctly and that he was just fooling her. She became even angrier and more disappointed, and cried even louder.

I never imagined that I was overthinking things and completely misunderstood his words.

Qian Ye was both amused and exasperated, and could only explain the situation to her.

So he reached out and wiped away her tears. "Girl, the gift I was talking about is yourself, actually it's..."

Bang~

Suddenly, the door was kicked open from the outside, and four people appeared in the doorway, interrupting Qian Ye's next words to Zi Yan.
