"Even if the elder sister is really angry and ignores you, I suggest you go to her tent to play with her at night."
After listening to Ivan's words, Griseo was slightly stunned and then curiously asked in a low voice, "Really? If I do this, will sister Yelena not be angry with me anymore?"
"You idiot, don't lead the children astray." Before Ivan could answer Griseo's question, Alexei slapped him on the head.
"No way! I'm not leading the children astray. I'm telling the truth. Little Griseo is so cute that even the elder sister can't help but be soft-hearted." Ivan, who was slapped, covered his head and whispered in defense.
"Even if she is cute, you're just making a twisted argument!" Alexei first glanced at the adorable Griseo and then continued to refute.
"It's true!"
Watching the two argue, Alyona, in Mr. Wolf's arms, had her light green eyes flickering gently, lost in thought.
"How about it, aren't the Yetis awesome? Their colors are also very beautiful..."
Noticing Alyona's eyes, Griseo leaned close to her ear and whispered.
"Well, they are great..." Alyona answered subconsciously after hearing Griseo's voice. However, feeling the warm breath beside her ear, she added calmly in her hoarse voice, "You... don't get too close to me."
"Well..."
Listening to Alyona's calm words, Griseo nodded gently and pulled away a little.
But when she noticed that the girl's ears had turned red without her knowing, a question mark slowly appeared on her little head.
After a moment of confusion, Griseo suddenly realized and clapped her hands lightly. She whispered, "Are you still very cold? Your ears seem to be frozen red. I'll ask Mr. Wolf to bring out the hat and earmuffs."
Mr. Wolf, holding the two, adjusted his posture and lifted up the two little ones with one arm. Then he took out a furry, cute hat and earmuffs with his free hand and handed them to the girls.
"Thank you, Mr. Wolf."
After saying thank you, Griseo picked up the cute hat and was about to put it on Alyona herself.
At this point, Alyona finally reacted and hurriedly waved her hands. Her voice was no longer as calm as before: "No... No need!"
"How can that be? Mother Aponia said that children who don't dress properly will get sick."
"Then, I'll do it myself!"
As she said that, Alyona quickly took the hat from Griseo's hand and began to put it on.
"That's great. It looks like little Griseo will have someone to keep her company in the future."
Watching the interaction between the two little ones, Ivan said to Alexei with a smile.
"Indeed. I heard from Alina that little Griseo didn't interact with other children in the camp. She stayed in the tent to draw every day. It's good she now has a little friend."
Alexei nodded gently, agreeing with his friend's point of view. But then he seemed to remember something, turned his head again, and looked at the huge Mr. Wolf.
Alexei looked for a while and, when he confirmed that Mr. Wolf was really floating, he suddenly felt that everything made sense...
"Little Griseo, I'm going to ask you a question, and you have to answer big brother honestly," Alexei said in a faint voice.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, the little girl stopped what she was doing, turned her head, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes as she waited for the next question.
"When we came here before, we saw a row of footprints that appeared inexplicably. We followed the footprints and found a snow pit, but in the end, we didn't find anyone. At first, we both thought we saw a ghost, but now it seems it must have been you, little girl."
Although it was a question, Alexei's tone was very sure. He didn't think there was anyone else in the forest who could do such a thing.
"Yes, it was me. I noticed you behind me, so I let Mr. Wolf carry me away."
Griseo, who initially thought it was something important and listened carefully, nodded her little head straightforwardly and then admitted it.
For her, since it had been exposed, there was nothing to hide about such a small matter.
"The footprints turned out to be you, little girl. Alexei and I really thought we saw a ghost." After hearing Griseo's admission, Ivan straightened up and said with some laughter.
"After all, I followed you secretly. If I was discovered, I would be scolded."
Griseo was very clear about the nature of her action this time. Although, thanks to her uncle Tyrant, the process became a little high-profile, overall it was still relatively low-key.
"You..."
"Crackle, crackle--"
Just as several people were chatting, a sudden movement from a distance made everyone stop abruptly, and they all quieted down to observe the situation.
"..."
However, Griseo, who was the first to notice who the person was, had her mood take a sharp turn again, and she shrank into Mr. Wolf's arms nervously.
The little girl was ready to be scolded. If it happened again, she dared to do it again next time!
...
As the sound got closer, the two groups finally saw each other.
"Alexei, aren't you two in danger?" Lois asked in confusion when she saw her intact and leisurely teammates. Then, when she saw the little cutie in the arms of the giant wolf, she was completely shocked: "Wait! Little Griseo!?"
Lois's scream also attracted the attention of the others.
"Griseo? Wait, why does the thing holding the little cutie look so familiar?"
"Now that you mention it, it does look a bit like the one who saved us..."
...
"What's going on? Why is Griseo here?"
Yelena did not join in Lois's discussion. Instead, she walked to Griseo's side, touched her little head, then looked at Ivan and the others and asked seriously.
"!"
Feeling the touch and warmth on her head, it was still so gentle, but Griseo was shocked. To be honest, this was the first time she felt Yelena's hand was so cold...
After Yelena spoke, the two who were secretly discussing Mr. Wolf also pricked up their ears.
