Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

101 That easy?

"I'm right here."

Renren gazed down at her. He could barely hear her murmuring. It didn't seem like she heard him.

Yet, a smile still turned up on his face. The sight of her put his heart at ease. His eyes slowly veered to the carriers, making him smile. He quietly sat down and placed the carrier he was bringing next to him, taking the one where Chunchun was.

Meow.

"Chunchun, wait a minute..." Penny tried to pull herself out, but her shirt got stuck. "I'm just stuck a little-I'm coming..."

After snapping the small branch that was stuck in her shirt, Penny forcibly pulled herself out. She used more strength than she should have, making her tumble down on something.

"Ah!" Penny rubbed the back of her head and looked back to see where she had fallen. Her face twitched the second she saw Renren, who had his back arched as if he had broken his spine. "Oh, no! I'm-I'm sorry!"

Compared to her size, Renren was almost just skin and bones. Having someone like her fall on his back, it wouldn't be impossible to break his spine!

"Are you okay!?" Penny panicked as she crawled to his side.

Renren had a frozen look and forced a nod.

"Hehe..." she sighed. "Sorry."

Sweat broke out on his forehead before his entire body quivered, making him hunch over.

"Hey, are you really okay?" she asked worriedly, rubbing his back gently to ease the pain. "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here."

Renren looked up at her and smiled. "I'm okay" But his pale face didn't look okay. "I am okay" he repeated as if he could read the doubt in her eyes easily.

"Are you?" he inquired, making her brows rise. "You don't seem okay."

"Oh, I'm not hurt."

"Not that," he said as he slowly straightened his back. "You don't seem okay to me. Are you sad?"

Ah.
