Chapter 823: Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaobei (1)

Gu Xiaobei became prettier as days pa.s.sed by.

And more energetic.

She was especially energetic, just like Gu Xiaobao when he was younger.

Many people in the royal family loved this pretty and energetic princess.

The only thing was that she had a bigger temper than her brother.

And a greater strength too. When a toy reached her hand, she would hold onto it with her life.

She would only let go when her brother wanted it.

Which was a great surprise for many.

The six-month-old Gu Xiaobei had big eyes, a smallmouth, and a high nose bridge. With a small hat, she looked like a living doll.

Gu Xiaobao wanted to carry his sister out to boast but it was a pity that he couldn’t carry her.

The six-month-old Gu Xiaobei was a little too heavy for the four-year-old Gu Xiaobao.

He was afraid that he would drop her.

There was this one time when his sister was chewing on a toy on the bed. Recently, she liked chewing on toys.

Gu Xiaobao helped her up and tried to make her sit. In the end, Gu Xiaobei’s body tilted and she fell over. Probably because her head hit the toy – which wasn’t very hard – Gu Xiaobei started crying.

Gu Xiaobao was scared witless since it was his first time seeing Gu Xiaobei like this.

Tears welled up in his eyes as well. Teary-eyed he apologized, “Sorry sister. I’m sorry…”

And so, he called for his mother.

Gu Qingjiu was not too far away when she heard crying.

“What’s the matter?”

Seeing the two crying children in front of her, Gu Qingjiu had an inkling of what had happened.

Gu Xiaobao looked at Gu Qingjiu as he rubbed at his eyes. “I wanted to let her sit up, but she fell and hit her head on the toy. It’s my fault. Mom, I’m sorry…”

He was clear in explaining his mistake. Gu Qingjiu quickly went over to check and realized that Gu Xiaobei was okay.

She probably cried because she was startled when she fell.

“It’s okay. Look, your sister is fine. It’s okay. You’re a good child as long as you apologize. I don’t blame you.”

Gu Xiaobei was not injured. After her mother came to carry her, she stopped crying quickly.

And stared at her brother in a daze.

Since Gu Xiaobao caused her fall, he blamed himself more than anything. Even with his mother’s rea.s.surance, his tears wouldn’t stop.

It was heartbreaking to watch.

Gu Qingjiu didn’t continue to rea.s.sure him and instead stood in silence as she watched him cry.

She knew that children had to let their emotions out.

She placed Gu Xiaobei back on the bed. Gu Xiaobei laid on her with her elbows supporting her head and watched Gu Xiaobao.

Gu Xiaobao cried for a while and suddenly saw Gu Xiaobei crawling towards him with much effort.

Gu Xiaobao was startled.

Gu Xiaobei had only recently learned how to crawl.

It took quite a lot of effort.

As she crawled over, Gu Xiaobao, who was afraid that she would fall off the bed, used his arm on the edges of the bed as a barrier.

Gu Xiaobei placed her hand on Gu Xiaobao’s.

She looked at Gu Xiaobao. Her eyes twinkled like the stars in the galaxy as they looked down upon the entire world.

In that manner, she stared at Gu Xiaobao quietly. Perhaps she didn’t know what she was doing and simply crawled instinctively towards Gu Xiaobao.

Gu Xiaobao stopped crying and cleared his throat. “Sister, I’m not going to cry anymore.”

Gu Qingjiu was stunned as she looked on at the scene. Even genius children wouldn’t be able to understand much when they were only six months old.

Perhaps Gu Xiaobei simply followed her instincts. No matter what, at that moment, it felt like she had just received the entire world.

A touching and blissful moment.
