The night air was not particularly cold, yet Mo Caihuan’s delicate little face had turned somewhat pale. She glared hatefully at Han Li, inwardly gnashing her teeth at this shameless senior brother who had suddenly appeared.
The two of them had now been standing frozen on the small path in the backyard for over a quarter of an hour without taking a single step forward.
Originally, Mo Caihuan had resorted to her three ultimate moves—acting cute, throwing a tantrum, and tearful attacks—but seeing that Han Li remained utterly unmoved, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and refuse to lead the way any further. She intended to use this tactic to pressure Han Li, all the while casting pitiful glances at him, hoping that a two-pronged approach would eventually make him yield.
However, when Han Li saw Mo Caihuan’s pitiful expression, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Her expression reminded him of his good friend Li Feiyu. In the past, whenever Li Feiyu had some troublesome matter he wanted Han Li’s help with, he would use a strikingly similar performance to sway him. Over time, Han Li had become completely immune to such expressions.
So when Mo Caihuan gazed at him with the look of an abandoned puppy, Han Li stood there with great relish, thoroughly enjoying her performance, occasionally even shaking his head and reciting a few pretentious lines of poetry.
Under Han Li’s merciless counterattack, Mo Caihuan quickly crumbled. Her pitiful act vanished completely, replaced by a furious glare that had lasted until now.
In truth, Mo Caihuan was already regretting her actions. If her mother found out about the current situation, not only would she fail to gain any benefits, but she would likely taste the sting of family discipline first.
At this thought, she shot a few more angry glances at Han Li. This country bumpkin—couldn’t he just give her something, anything? Didn’t he know that girls needed to be coaxed? What a clueless rustic!
By now, the girl had completely forgotten about her earlier attempt to extort him.
Although Han Li had no experience in coaxing children, he still tried his best to comfort the little girl.
