Level Up in Earth Evolution

Chapter 175: A Pity

"Brother Li! How can you adopt me without my permission? Also, I am a whole two years older than you," Lily complained with a pout as she was treated like a small kid by him.

But Li Wei didn't care.

"Lily, your thoughts don't matter here. I said I am adopting you, and it's final. The same goes for Olivia too," he declared as he glanced at Olivia, who was shocked and stunned.

She knew he would treat her as a family member, but she never thought he would directly adopt her like this forcefully.

'Do I have to call him daddy or father from now' she thought with a troubled and embarrassed look.

While Lily, still unwilling, looked at Li Xin for help, who was also stunned at Li Wei as he didn't tell her anything about this.

"Sister Li, look, Brother Li is forcing me to call him daddy. He's a bad guy; please do something," she complained, pointing at him with anger.

Watching her like this, Li Wei became speechless while Li Xin let out a small chuckle.

"Lily, it's Brother's decision, and I won't interfere in it," she replied, patting Lily's head, who lost trust in her.

But before she could say something, Li Wei interjected.

"Lily, stop creating fuss. I am adopting you both as sisters, not my kids," he stated with exasperation.

Hearing this, Lily calmed down while Olivia heaved a sigh of relief.

'It's good as long as I don't have to call him daddy,' she thought as she imagined calling him daddy daily with red cheeks.

Li Wei, who saw her like this, felt a little weird, but he decided not to think too much.

"Lily, Olivia, from now on I am your guardian so if you have any troubles just consult me or XinXin about it," he declared before turning towards Alice and Elva.

"Alice, Elva, as a party leader, it's my job to protect and look after you so don't hesitate to ask for help from me or XinXin," he conveyed with a smile as not to let them feel left out.

However, he forgot about one person.

"Brother Wei, what about me?" Irene questioned with a teary and lonely look as if she was abandoned by her husband after one night.

Watching her like this, Li Wei's mouth twitched in irritation, and he decided to ignore her.

"Let's eat the pastries when they are cold, or they won't taste good," he suggested. Enjoy reading at m v-lem-pyr

To this, everyone nodded even Irene but with an unwilling expression before taking a bite of pastries that made her eyes shine.

"Mhm, it's good," she muttered with a nod satisfied with it.

"Yes, it's good. I never thought the Earth's snacks would be this good, especially these potato chips," Alice replied with a nod as she stuffed her mouth with chips and pastries at once.

Watching her like this, Elva gave a chop on her head and reprimanded her to eat in manners, making others chuckle as they continued eating with a smile.

Of course, Lily wasn't included as she was still upset about being treated like a kid by Li Wei and was eating with a sulky expression.

'Humph, Brother Li, don't expect me to love you anymore if you treat me like a kid,' she thought to herself, making a big decision as she gobbled up the food, finishing it.

She wanted to ask for more, but Li Wei had taken everything out of whatever he had, so she became disappointed, just like Alice who was now looking like an abandoned cat.

However, it didn't last long as Li Wei gave everyone snow to play with, and they all instantly became busy making snow castles.

Of course, Lily was still keeping her distance from Irene as she feared herself becoming a snowman.

Watching her like this, Li Wei chuckled.

'It seems she is still afraid of Irene,' he thought as he caressed the hair of Li Xin and Li Yin, who were using his lap as a pillow, making him feel speechless.

"XinXin, YinYin you two should be giving a lap pillow to me, not the other way around," he muttered pinching their small noses only to receive glares.

"Brother, we are your little sisters, so you have a responsibility to give us everything we want, even the lap pillow. And if you want one from us, then say so or do you think we will reject you?" she asked, wrinkling her nose cutely at him.

Hearing this, Li Wei let out a wry smile.

"Okay, my little sisters, I will ask for a lap pillow when I need it," he replied as he ruffled their hair softly and looked at others who were playing with snow.

"I think you should also go and play with them. If you want to talk about something, you can do it later," he suggested.

But to his surprise, Li Xin shook her head at him.

"Brother, I just wanted to thank you for considering Olivia and Lily. I never thought you would do something like this, and I hope you do it for Elva, Alice, and Irene too," she suggested with a smile, making Li Wei pinch her pink cheeks.

"XinXin your jokes are good as long as you are not dragging someone in it, they might think it's funny for one or two times but not always," Li Wei reprimanded her with a strict expression.

In response Li Xin wrinkled her nose cutely but didn't refute him.

"I know this so don't worry also bye I am going," she replied as she got up and hurriedly left with Li Yin fearing he will start lecturing her.

While Li Wei, who knew what she was thinking, smiled wryly.

"She never learns," he muttered with a sigh as he kept creating a stockpile of snow for Irene while waiting for them to finish building their snow castles unlike Irene who was on creating her fifth snowman.

'What is she planning?' Li Wei thought as he kept a strict eye on her, fearing she might do something again.

But nothing happened and everyone finished their snow models making it time to go back.

Irene was still unwilling, so Li Wei has no choice but to threaten her and make her go back with them who was now complaining like a kidnapped girl, rendering him speechless.

'Is she a goddess of acting or what? No wonder there is a whole legion to keep an eye on her,' Li Wei thought with a sigh as he returned to the villa with everyone without any problems.

On the way, he did hear about some nobles causing troubles in the city but they were arrested by the Inquisitor Lucius so there was nothing to worry about except he has to babysit Irene.

"Kidnapper Wei, how cruel you to kidnap me like that," she mumbled making Li Wei's mouth twitch in irritation, but he decided to ignore her and after saying a few words to others he returned to his room to take a shower.

While others also did the same, taking showers one by one in their rooms.

Li Wei was also same as after him Li Xin and Li Yin both entered the shower together, making him feel regret.

"A pity, what a pity I should've joined them," he muttered with dissatisfaction before heading towards the kitchen to cook.

But he became stunned when he arrived as Olivia was standing in the kitchen waiting for him with anxious expression.

"Olivia, do you need something?" he inquired gently.

In response, Olivia shook her head.

"Brother Li, I don't need anything but came to help you in cooking," she explained with an anxious face.

Watching her like this, Li Wei chuckled and patted her head.

"Sure, you can help me. Also, no need to feel anxious just because of this, I will really appreciate your help," he replied assuring her and turned towards the kitchen counter where Olivia already prepared all equipment needed for cooking.

What was left were ingredients that were in his item box to stop them from going bad so without any hesitation he took them out and glanced at her who was waiting for instructions.

"Olivia here wash these ingredients until then I will prepare other things," Li Wei instructed giving her vegetables and some fruits.

In response, Olivia nodded with a very serious expression.

"Okay, Brother Li, leave it to me," she replied with a firm face as she took the ingredients and started to wash them with all focus her sapphire focusing on nothing but washing ingredients.

Watching her like this, Li Wei became speechless, but he didn't say anything as she was doing a good job.

'Well, it will take time for her to get used to it,' he thought as he started to prepare flour and other things.

After he was done, he took the washed vegetables to chop while Olivia kept looking at his actions with a serious face, wanting to learn, as her sapphire eyes narrowed and widened with understanding.

Li Wei, who felt her gaze, became a little stunned at her as it was rare for someone to show interest in cooking in this villa. All of them were just big eaters, and no one liked to do manual labour.
