My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

After registering and completing the formalities, Li Shimin and his entourage arrived at the medical examination center.

The environment remained pristine and solemn, with doctors and nurses in white coats coming and going, making Li Lizhi and Xiao Sizi feel somewhat nervous.

Despite being nervous, Li Lizhi persevered through the various examinations that followed.

Although Xiao Sizi was also scared, she persevered with the encouragement of Chen Mo and Li Lizhi.

Then came the last step – blood test.

As the nurse skillfully removed the needle and vacuum blood collection tube, Li Lizhi's face turned slightly pale.

Although Chen Mo told her that it was just a matter of drawing a little blood and that it wouldn't hurt much, she was still a little scared.

Li Lizhi forced herself to remain calm, rolled up her sleeves, and placed her arms on the cushion.

Then, she turned her head away and bit her lower lip tightly.

The blood draw was over quickly, and it wasn't as painful as I had imagined.

However, this scene was clearly seen by Xiao Sizi, who was being held tightly in Li Shimin's arms.

When she saw the sharp needle pierce her sister's arm and the dark red blood being sucked into the tube, Xiao Sizi's already large eyes widened instantly, and her face turned deathly pale.

Her small body began to tremble violently. She gripped Li Shimin's clothes tightly, buried her face in them, and screamed in a sobbing voice.

"No! No, Sizi! Waaah...it hurts...that sharp thing...it's pricking my sister...it's bleeding! Sizi's scared! Sizi, no!!"

The little girl twisted and turned wildly, struggling with all her might, refusing to get down from Li Shimin's arms, let alone stretch out her arms.

Seeing this, Li Lizhi hurriedly came over to comfort her.

"Sizi, it doesn't hurt! It really doesn't hurt at all!"

"Sister is lying!!! How can it not hurt?!"

"I don't want a shot!"

The little ox cried loudly, flailing its arms wildly.

The nurse drawing blood looked at Xiao Sizi but didn't dare to force her. Finally, she looked at Li Shimin.

Seeing the crying and struggling little Sizi, Li Shimin's heart ached.

How could he not feel heartache? He wished he could suffer in her place.

But the thought of Xiao Sizi dying at the age of twelve hardened his heart again.

The symptoms must be identified!

Otherwise, it would be bad if something really went wrong later!

He didn't want his adorable little Sizi to leave him forever before she even turned thirteen!

Li Shimin took a deep breath, hugged the struggling little Sizi tightly in his arms, and then grabbed one of Sizi's arms.

"Draw it! Quickly!"

Seeing this, the nurse quickly took out the needle for drawing blood.

Seeing the white syringe, Xiao Sizi cried even harder.

Seeing this, Chen Mo thought for a moment, then squatted down and spoke.

"Be good, Sizi. Hang in there. It will only hurt for a little while, like a tiny insect biting you. It will be over soon."

Chen Mo pondered for a moment.

"After you get your shot, I'll give you candy, okay?"

Little Sizi paused her crying for a moment, then looked up at Chen Mo with her big, teary eyes.

But the moment he saw the gleaming needle, fear overwhelmed everything again.

She shook her head violently, crying out.

"I don't want to eat! I don't want a shot!! Waaah... Bacteroides! You're lying!"

Seeing this, Chen Mo was not discouraged. After pondering for a moment, he spoke again.

"How about this...? As long as you're just a little bit brave, and after you get your shot, I'll take you to that big shop downstairs. You can pick any candy you want!"

Little Sizi's crying suddenly stopped, and she turned to look at Chen Mo.

"Really?"

"Really!"

Chen Mo smiled slightly and gestured with his hand to indicate the name.

"There are all kinds of lollipops, soft cotton candies like clouds, sweet and sour fruit candies, popping candies that bounce in your mouth... I can buy you as many as you want!"

As the little girl listened, her crying gradually subsided, turning into soft sobs.

She swallowed unconsciously, her large eyes locked in a fierce battle between fear and longing.

Then, it seemed that the craving for candy overcame the fear of injections.

Xiao Sizi confirmed in a thick nasal voice.

"Is what Little...Little Berry said true? I'll go buy some after I finish brewing the tea? Let...Let Rhinoceros pick whatever he wants?"

"Absolutely true!"

Chen Mo patted his chest and assured him.

"We'll go right away as soon as we finish the injection here! Brother wouldn't lie!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sizi sniffed and nodded her little head vigorously.

Then, she obediently placed her fair little arms on the mat, with a tragic expression as if she were bravely going to her death.

"Then... let's fight..."

But soon, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly pulled her hand back and pointed at Chen Mo.

"But... but I want Little Saccharomyces to hold me! I don't want Father to hold me!"

Li Shimin: ? ? ?

Li Shimin: ********

Li Shimin turned his head, his face so black it was almost as if ink could drip from it.

No matter how I tried to coax him, he wouldn't hit me!

So now you've been won over with just a piece of candy?

Is it because Li Shimin has been mistreating you and not letting you eat?

Li Shimin grew angrier the more he thought about it, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, he could only glare fiercely at Chen Mo, finding him increasingly displeasing.

I am her real father!

Who are you to her?!

However, the little girl struggled and wouldn't let Chen Mo hold her, so there was no way to give her the injection.

Left with no other option, Li Shimin handed the little ox over to Chen Mo and then stood aside expressionlessly.

The resentment emanating from him was almost tangible!

Finally, the needle was removed and a cotton swab was applied.

Little Sizi burst into tears again.

Chen Mo gently patted her back to comfort her.

"Alright, alright, Sizi is the bravest! Let's go buy candy now!"

Little Sizi's eyes were watery, but after hearing Chen Mo's words, she stubbornly wiped away her tears.

"Little cyst! The rhinoceros isn't afraid! The rhinoceros is very brave!!!"

Chen Mo nodded, patted her head again, and comforted her.

"Sizi is definitely the bravest!"

Li Shimin watched Chen Mo's departing figure as he carried his daughter away.

Especially seeing the way Xiao Sizi clung tightly to Chen Mo's neck and rested her little face on his shoulder, he felt a tightness in his chest.

After a long pause, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth:

"Outrageous... What kind of behavior is this!"

But ironically, it was he who couldn't soothe his daughter...

He was so frustrated by this.

He didn't want to go in the first place, and he knew it would be a hassle.

But then I thought, what if Xiao Sizi gets tricked by this kid if I don't go?

"No!"

Li Shimin suddenly flicked his sleeve.

"I must go and see for myself!!!"

After saying that, he strode off and hurriedly followed.

The demeanor was nothing like that of a monarch destined for historical fame; it was more like that of a worried old father who was afraid his own cabbage would be eaten by a pig and had to keep an eye on it.

Li Lizhi, who remained where she was, watched Li Shimin's furious yet forcedly composed back. Finally, she couldn't help but raise her sleeve to cover her lips and let out a soft laugh, her shoulders trembling slightly.

When had she ever seen her dignified father show such a...childish side?

Amused, Li Lizhi hurriedly followed.
