That's wonderful! Just like her mother, she has a beautiful flower on her back.
Her eyes curved like crescent moons; she believed this so deeply, until one day…
"Wow, Daddy's cheating!"
In the shallow mountain stream, a shameless man used his light-footed skills to dodge the little girl's splashing water, and then retaliated without mercy.
"Will you admit defeat!" The competitive spirit that had been suppressed for so long by the "tiger mom" suddenly awakened.
"I don't admit it! I don't admit it!"
"You won't admit it, huh? Hmph."
"I admit it, I admit it." The enemy is strong and we are weak; even a petty person like me knows how to be pragmatic.
"Hmm?" Someone was still not satisfied.
The little man instantly understood and immediately said, "Please be unparalleled, invincible, admired by all, and blooming like flowers..."
What's down there? She held her head, trying desperately to remember.
Someone couldn't wait and gave a knowing look.
"Oh, the most handsome man in the martial arts world, spare my life!" Her little face scrunched up like a bun. It was because her skills weren't good enough; she couldn't say something against her will like her father did to her mother.
"Ah Niu is such a good boy." The man immediately reverted to his loving fatherly demeanor, picked up the little boy and carried him ashore, secretly using his inner strength to dry his soaked clothes.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, the little man excitedly ripped off his clothes.
"Father, look."
"..."
"Father?"
"Sigh." A sigh escaped her lips. "Ah Niu, you're only five years old."
What does this have to do with being five years old?
Just as she was wondering what was going on, she saw her clothes being closed.
"Don't be discouraged, things should look better in ten years." He patted her shoulder reassuringly. "If Ah Niu takes a fancy to that boy in the future, just do what you did to him when it's dark and windy. If he's surprised and stunned, you can take the opportunity to pin him down. Do you understand, sweet girl?"
She tilted her head blankly.
"By the way, you'll have to learn this from your mother. She's not only experienced, but she also has a great eye for quality." Someone said to Xi Zhao, "She's incredibly discerning."
"Father."
Completely unpalatable, the person remained self-pitying.
"mother!"
A single word successfully summoned the soul, startling the person who then glared back angrily.
"Didn't Father see the flower on A-Gui's back?"
"ha?"
Even at only five years old, she understood from that straightforward expression.
Her little mouth twitched, and finally she burst into a heart-wrenching cry before turning and running away.
"Ah Niu! Ah Niu!"
It turns out she doesn't have flowers, unlike her mother.
Woohoo—
Tears fell in a steady stream as the little girl stood by the bed, looking at her mother, who was covered in blood.
"Don't cry, sweetie." A gentle smile graced her pale face as the beauty softly wiped away the little one's tears.
"Ti, bear with it."
The beauty nodded slightly, but when her clothes were torn open, she couldn't help but cry out in pain. A sword wound on her jade-like back pierced right through the crimson flower.
"Mother...Mother..." The little face pressed against that pale hand, tears streaming down her fingers.
If she hadn't been so willful and run down the mountain, if she hadn't been captured by those bad guys, her mother wouldn't have been injured, wouldn't be in so much pain. It's all her fault.
Tears streamed down her face, and the little girl cried uncontrollably, almost unable to breathe.
"Don't cry, Agui. It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all."
"pain."
She shook her head and sobbed.
"A-Gui's heart aches so much."
Even after her father moved them to the remote Cangyun Mountain, and even as her mother's health gradually improved, her heart still ached. This pain was especially intense when she bathed with her mother.
Her small hand touched her beautiful back very lightly; the brocade flower of yesteryear was now a sword scar.
"What's wrong?" Feeling an itchy touch on her back, the beauty lazily asked, hovering between sleep and wakefulness.
"It's so beautiful."
