Chapter 590: Agree
Huang Ying looked at Qin Yi apologetically, “Big brother, don’t mind him. Little Rice Ball was just talking nonsense.”
Huang Ying felt a little apprehensive. She was afraid that Qin Yi would think that she made Little Rice Ball say that, and she didn’t want to leave a stain in Qin Yi’s heart.
“Big sister,” Little Rice Ball lowered his head sadly. He knew that his request was a little too much, but he really didn’t want to stay in this village anymore.
Their parents had died a few years ago, leaving him and his sister to struggle alone. He was young and could not help at all, his sister practically raising him alone.
Being fatherless and motherless, their lives in the village was very difficult. Everyone could bully them and vent their anger out on them when they were upset. They were covered in bruises every day but didn’t dare to speak up.
Actually, he had wanted to get his sister out of here a long time ago, but it was more dangerous outside and he did not have the ability to protect her. Hence, he could only look forward to growing up and becoming stronger every day.
Now that he had a chance, he didn’t want to give it up. He knew that this big brother in front of him was very strong and capable, and he wanted to follow him.
With Qin Yi around, he knew he could go further, to an extent he had never dared to think of.
With that thought, Little Rice Ball did not obey Huang Ying for the first time, kneeling in front of Qin Yi and begging, “Big brother, let me follow you. I will certainly repay you in the future.”
Young children are very stubborn, and those unusually large eyes were filled with longing. That’s right, longing. Longing for the future, longing for strength and status, longing to live.
“Little Rice Ball!”
Huang Ying was stunned. She suddenly did not know that little fella kneeling on the ground. His small back was very upright, and she found that she was very foreign to a little brother like this.
The Little Rice Ball she knew was the little guy who liked hiding in her arms, the little guy who was even afraid to meet strangers.
However, why was the tip of her nose tingling? She even felt like crying.
Qin Yi carried Little Rice Ball up, his little round eyes red but unusually resolute.
“You want to follow me?” Qin Yi asked.
“Yes, I want to follow you,” Little Rice Ball answered.
“Do you think that following me will allow you to live comfortably? You would suffer even more, and your life will be very tiring if you follow me. You might even be threatened with death, anytime and anywhere. Do you still want to follow me?”
Qin Yi had an indifferent expression on her face. That pair of cold phoenix eyes were not gentle like before and there was only iciness, making it seem as if she was used to seeing the vicissitudes of the world.
But Little Rice Ball did not feel afraid at all. Instead, he felt that Qin Yi was very authentic.
“I do,” he frantically nodded his little head. Although his voice was still very childish, there was an unyielding look on his face.
“Okay, I’ll take you with me,” Qin Yi nodded in agreement.
Children in the apocalypse weren’t as innocent and silly as before. They already knew how cruel this world was, even at a young age, and they were very intelligent and tough.
Qin Yi loved children like Little Rice Ball. Once they grew up, they would become quite formidable.
“Call me big brother Prince next time,” Qin Yi instructed, touching the Little Rice Ball’s sparse hair. She was cold, yet also had a hint of gentleness.
“Big brother Prince,” Little Rice Ball replied obediently.
Huang Ying bit her lips, trying her best not to cry. She couldn’t explain how she was feeling. It was both happiness and pain; she felt heartache and sweetness at the same time.
