Huichen

Chapter 9: Ep 9: Chapter 3.2



"Oh?" Hui stared up at the large man with big eyes. "I LIke Big Bro Yunseng too!" She smiled. Leader Yunseng tried to remain straight faced and unmoved but he was very tempted to throw them to the eastern sea at this point. 

The two ignored the uncomfortable expression he was making, as Leader Sungwu pretended he couldn't see anything, Li Haoli guiding food to his mouth and playing with Hui every now and then, as he tempted her with large pieces of her breakfast, before finally letting her catch some in her mouth. (He'd long since gotten rid of his misophobia with her) Leader Yunseng stared at them from above, with a piercing glare, that after Li Haoli could ignore it no longer, he finally held up a large piece of pork, and asked politely, "You want some too, Leader Yunseng?"

Hui immediately joined in on the fun. 

"Oh? Leader Yunseng wants some too! Please have some!" With her cute and innocent face, combined with Li Haoli's overly hospitable and loving one, Leader YUnseng could finally take no more, and his face turned red, as He screamed, "GET OFF ALREADY!" Before leaping to his feet and finding something to do as far away in the camp as physically possible from them. 

Li Haoli and Hui both fell into giggles, and Hui gripping Li Haoli's clothes to stay upright. She could feel it, not everything was the same as before, they'd gotten inexplicably closer since last night and seemed to understand a new side of one another. She looked up at him, a sly grin across her face. "Can I go look for some flowers for big bro and big bro Yunseng?" 

Li Haoli immediately grinned back, reaching down to pat her head. Of course, we are just packing up, so just don't leave my sight and come back before we leave."

It wasn't hard to stay in his sight, not only was he a foundation building cultivator, but the land all around them was mostly flat. And he was standing at the top of the only ravine nearby.

She quickly gathered many delicate lovely flowers, and then gathered a bunch of extremely deadly flowers. She made two crowns, one of white, and one of purple, and brought them back to Li Haoli. 

"Which should I give to brother Yunseng?" She asked innocently.

Li Haoli put his finger under his chin, pretending to think very hard. "I think he likes purple, let's give him the purple ones!" Hui grinned back, and then took the white ones.

"Then bend over!"

Li Haoli bent over obediently.

HuI crowned his head with white, and smiled up at him. "You look so good in flowers!"

Li Haoli seemed to find this extremely hilarious. "Really now, does big bro look good in flowers?"

"Yep!" Hiu had started, she was going to follow through to the end with her idiocy. "Big Bro is the most beautiful in the world with flowers!"

He suddenly pretended to have an epiphany. "Oh! Then I should wear flowers from now on!" 

Hui imagined the scarred man with an eye patch, blood pouring down his fingers, wearing a woman's dress with a pink floral design. She suddenly felt wooz, and decided to flee the scene. 

It wasn't hard to find Leader Yunseng, he stood out like a sore thumb, with his giant frame. Because he was so tall, he didn't even notice Hui, until she stood at his feet, barely coming up to his shin, and tugged on his pants. "Big bro Yunseng?"

He looked down in shock. How had the kid been able to sneak up on him?

Hui looked up at him innocently. "I made you something, Big bro told me to bring it to you."

Leader Yunseng immediately knew it wasn't anything good. Li Haoli was always up to mischief. But the kid was looking up at him with so much innocent adoration, he couldn't help but let his heart soften, afterall, it had been decades since anyone had looked at him with anything besides fear. Only Li Haoli had ever treated him like a human, and that was because Li Haoli was a crazy maniac, so he couldn't feel very connected with him. As a man who used to be a big family guy, before his life was torn apart, and he became a demonic cultivator, the man with a rugged face, and evil eyes missed his old life, and cute younger siblings. And most of all, like most men on the battlefield, he missed his gentle mom.

Hui looked up at him. "Can I give it to you?"

"Sure." he grunted back.

Hui revealed some flowers, "Look! I made you a flower crown!" She looked so cute! And the flowers!! The Flowers!!! Why were they All Poisonous! With her smiling the way she was, he could reject her. "Bend down!"

He kneeled down, couldn't believe he was actually doing this for a little kid. Since when did a little kid even want to put flowers on his head? However, just as Hui was arranging them on his crown, he immediately caught light of Li Haoli through the corner of his eyes, obviously bending in half, giggling like crazy. Rage suddenly pumped through his body, and he pushed the girl away, throwing the flowers onto the ground. "Stop it!" He glared down at her, surprised that his small movement had thrown her so far. Her knee was now scraped up, and her clothes were all dirty. Her eyes suddenly began tearing up. "Sorry Big bro Yunseng!" She tried to wipe away the tears, as she stood up. Li Haoli was now giving him a pointed glare like he was being ridiculous, everyone around him pretended like they couldn't see anything. Leader Yunseng sighed helplessly, reaching down to pat her head. The small head felt good in his large hand. "There, there, that's a good girl, no need to cry."

Hui immediately brightened, reaching over to hug him, 'Thank you big bro Yunseng!" Before she skipped off to rejoin LI Haoli. Leader Yunseng sighed, putting his face in his hand. What was he even doing there, how did Li Haoli face that kid day in and day out, and not get attached to it? He shook his head, before noticing everyone was staring at him. "What are you doing?! Get back to work! We need to be packed before the sun leaves the horizon!"

Everyone got back to work again.
