Chapter 42 Little Si's Request
Unlike Li Chengqian's secret delight, Li Shimin was inwardly agonizing, debating whether to tell Li Yuan the truth.
Putting aside everything else, Li Yuan, this old man, may have many grievances against him, but he dotes on his grandchildren. Although the saying "grandparents love their grandchildren more" doesn't exist now, if he knew about Xiao Sizi's situation, who knows what he might do?
Li Shimin still remembered that last year, when Xiao Sizi was taken to the palace by Li Yuan and stayed for half a month, he went through many hardships when he went to take Xiao Sizi away. Empress Zhangsun had no choice but to go with him. In the end, the old man repeatedly told him to leave with great reluctance before he finally let him take Xiao Sizi away.
"Hmph! You don't dare? What is there that you, Li Shimin, wouldn't dare to do!" Li Yuan's words were incredibly damaging, leaving Li Shimin speechless for a moment.
"Chengqian, don't pick up your father's bad habits!"
"Your grandson obeys!"
Li Chengqian obediently bowed, and after finishing, he gave Li Shimin a humble smile.
As a result, Li Shimin saw this smile as a blatant provocation. Glancing at Li Yuan beside him, Li Shimin suppressed his anger and smiled at Li Chengqian, thinking to himself.
"My good eldest son, you've really made something of yourself! You even know how to use your power to bully others, huh! Humph!"
Seeing Li Shimin's smiling face, Li Chengqian felt a chill run down his spine. His intention was to tell Li Shimin, "You and I are of one heart, and I would never betray you!" But it was clear that Li Shimin had misunderstood him!
"Chengqian, since your father won't tell you, then you tell him! What exactly happened?"
Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of Li Shimin, Li Yuan simply turned his attention to Li Chengqian, never expecting that Li Chengqian would almost kneel down upon hearing these words!
"Father! This matter is of great importance, but unfortunately, I am not knowledgeable enough. Perhaps I should let Father tell you!" Li Chengqian said, his forehead already covered in sweat.
Seeing his grandson's reaction, Li Yuan immediately realized that things might be more serious than he had thought. His expression changed from relaxed to serious, and his words became serious again.
"Alright, since Chengqian can't explain it clearly, then you, Shimin, will have to explain it!"
Seeing Li Yuan's serious expression, Li Shimin knew that he couldn't avoid this matter any longer, so he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Father, this matter must be traced back to the day before yesterday..."
""
At this moment, in Lin Fan's house, Xiao Sizi was curiously holding a tablet, completely unaware that his father was being interrogated.
Lin Fan was nestled on the sofa, holding Xiao Sizi in his arms. One end of his tablet was still connected to a data cable. He was carefully explaining the charging process to Xiao Sizi again. Although he had explained it once before when he bought the fan, Xiao Sizi had never operated it herself before.
"Look, Sizi, when this little square is full, it means it has eaten its fill. Now you can remove this one, understand?"
"Hmm!"
When Lin Fan took out the tablet, it still had more than 70% battery left, but he thought that Xiao Sizi could take it back to the Tang Dynasty to play with, so he decided to fully charge it first.
Scrolling through the screen, Lin Fan looked at the various games in the app store. He planned to download a few offline games that didn't require an internet connection, and also download some cartoons.
After searching for a while, he finally chose a few games that were particularly easy to pick up: Candy Crush, Plants vs. Zombies, and Minecraft.
All three games can be played offline and save locally, so your progress won't be lost even without an internet connection. As for the cartoon, I downloaded the entire series of "Boonie Bears," which is Xiao Sizi's favorite.
Half an hour later, the game was completely downloaded, and Lin Fan switched the animation download to the background.
"Sizi, come on, let's play this game first!"
"Okay, what is this?"
"Yeah, it's fun to play, so it's called Happy Match! Are you happy now, Sizi?"
"Hehe, I'm really happy!"
Looking at the adorable little Sizi, Lin Fan pinched her nose, then opened the game interface, where several cute animal images immediately appeared.
"Wow, what are these? They're so cute!" Little Sizi pointed at the opening animation, her face showing excitement.
"What does this look like, young man?"
"This looks a bit like a bear?"
"Haha, that's right, Little Si is so smart! What about these three?"
Because Xiao Sizi likes watching "Boonie Bears," he immediately recognized the image as a bear. As for the other three, he couldn't recognize them even after looking at them for a long time.
"Is it too late?!" Little Si bit her finger, looking somewhat annoyed.
"Haha, brother, let me tell you, this is a chick, this is a fox, and this is a hippo! Never mind that, let's get straight to the game!"
"Okay!"
Upon arriving at the first level of the game, which was exceptionally simple, Lin Fan only briefly explained the rules. After a few rounds, Xiao Sizi had already become quite proficient.
"Sizi, this can eliminate it, and this one too!"
"I know, you're not allowed to remind me!"
As the difficulty increased, Lin Fan would occasionally give her reminders. Xiao Sizi had a very strong personality, and she didn't want Lin Fan to think she was a little fool, so she always tried to do it herself when given reminders. As a result, she wasted steps and still didn't pass the level.
Seeing that Xiao Sizi looked a little down, Lin Fan quickly comforted her, "It's just a game. I just want you to be happy after playing it. If you're not happy, I'll just delete it!"
Upon hearing Lin Fan say he was going to delete the game, Xiao Sizi immediately grabbed her tablet and wouldn't let go: "I'm not unhappy at all, bro, you must have misread it!"
"Okay, it's best if you're happy. If you ever feel unhappy, you have to tell your brother!" Lin Fan said, taking the opportunity to grab the tablet.
"No, not at all. I'm happy every single day!"
Xiao Sizi thought Lin Fan wanted to continue deleting the game, so she turned around with a wary look on her face.
Seeing Xiao Sizi's actions, Lin Fan was both amused and exasperated: "Brother won't delete it. Brother just wants to see if the cartoon has been downloaded yet. Once it's downloaded, Xiao Sizi can go home first!"
"Oh, but I really don't want to go back!"
Xiao Sizi reluctantly handed the tablet to Lin Fan. Upon hearing that she had to go home again, her little face became somewhat unhappy.
"Sweetie, Sisi didn't tell her family when she came over today, did she? I was afraid they'd worry!"
Seeing that the little girl's expression remained unchanged, Lin Fan felt a little reluctant, but he also understood that when it was time to go home, he still had to let Xiao Sizi go back.
"Oh right! Brother, my sister asked me to ask you how to make Mother get better?" Little Sizi knew it was time to go back, and only then did she suddenly remember her sister's instructions, so she quickly asked Lin Fan.
"Oh, there's another problem!" Lin Fan thought for a moment and continued.
"It's like this, Sizi. Since your brother doesn't know the specifics of your mother's condition yet, when you go back, have someone write down a detailed description of her illness. Bring it over next time so your brother can take a look. Remember that?"
"Okay, I'll remember that!" Little Si nodded affirmatively.
Lin Fan checked the animation library and found that it had all been downloaded.
"Look, Zhouzi, this is a cartoon! Just open it whenever you want to watch. If it runs out of battery, bring it back and I'll charge it for you! Got it?"
"Hmm!"
"Sizi is great! Okay, now you should go back!"
Lin Fan waved with a smile. Seeing this, Xiao Sizi reluctantly took out the jade pendant from her skirt pocket. She had used it once before and was now quite skilled at using it.
"Mwah~ Lin Fan, I'm going back now! Remember to come back!" Little Sizi stepped forward and kissed Lin Fan, then waved.
"Okay, brother will remember!" As soon as the words were spoken, Little Sizi disappeared in an instant!
