“Smelled me?? How’s that even possible?” The boy with thick eyebrows couldn’t believe it.

Besides, he didn’t have any noticeable scent on him, did he?

The taller boy had doubted it too, but after seeing Yu Yuanyuan in action, he no longer questioned her sense of smell. He even crossed his arms smugly, waiting for the thick-browed boy to witness it firsthand.

Yu Yingze was feeling a bit confused.

He hadn’t believed it at first either, but after she successfully found two people in a row without even wandering off the path, it started to shake his confidence.

Could this little bean really be that impressive?

Fine, if she could find everyone else within the time limit, he’d admit she was amazing!

Yu Yingze didn’t let his thoughts show, keeping his expression neutral.

The three boys trailed behind as Yu Yuanyuan led the way, sniffing the air like a boss.

Her little legs wobbled as she walked, and occasionally, she’d trip over her own feet.

The taller boy and the thick-browed boy flanked her like bodyguards, ready to catch her every time she almost fell.

Even as the leader of the boys in the neighborhood, Yu Yingze had never been treated with such care, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.

“Behind that fake mountain is the boy with the watch,” Yu Yuanyuan pointed confidently ahead. “He smells like strawberries.”

Eager to confirm, the two boys dashed ahead, blocking the escape routes, and once again successfully caught someone.

It felt like the same scene on repeat.

The boy they caught was shocked at how they found him, and once again, they explained Yu Yuanyuan’s sense of smell. The boy, skeptical, wanted to witness it for himself.

The boy with the watch checked the time. “There’s only a minute left.”

Yu Yuanyuan had no concept of how long a minute was. She leisurely strolled along, as if window-shopping.

She glanced left and right, occasionally crouching down to pluck a few blades of grass.

Just as everyone thought she had forgotten about the game, the little one suddenly sped up toward a large tree, shouting, “The big-eyed brother is hiding behind the tree!”

Besides Yu Yingze, the other three boys and Yu Yuanyuan closed in on the tree, forming a circle around it.

The boy hiding behind the tree was startled and instinctively sprang up to run.

As long as he didn’t get caught, he wouldn’t lose.

In this group, Yu Yuanyuan was clearly the easiest to break through.

Her wobbly steps made her look like a clumsy penguin, and even with her arms stretched out, she was barely taller than his leg.

The boy jumped up, ready to speed past Yu Yuanyuan and escape.

But after a few rounds of playing, the little one had already figured out the rules.

Not only did she need to find her brothers, but she had to catch them with her little paws too.

“Wah—” Yu Yuanyuan let out an unintelligible baby sound and pounced at the boy, her arms flailing.

But her speed and movements were far from threatening. The boy simply picked up his pace, easily dodging her.

However, Yu Yuanyuan wasn’t so lucky.

She had mustered all her strength, determined to catch him, but alas, while her imagination soared, reality was much less forgiving… more like skeleton-thin.

She moved too fast and couldn’t stop herself when the boy dodged. Her path wobbled, and her left foot stepped on the loose shoelace of her right shoe. With a soft “thud,” she fell face-first to the ground.

The kids, who had been playing so intensely, were all startled by the scene.

It was a bit of a tragic sight.

Yu Yuanyuan lay flat on the ground, face down, completely motionless—like a doll that had fallen off a shelf.

The boy, who had just dodged Yu Yuanyuan, immediately turned back, worried. “Yuanyuan, are you okay? Did you get hurt?”

Suddenly, her tiny hands moved, grabbing onto his pant leg.

Yu Yuanyuan lifted her head, and despite her dirt-covered face, she wore a bright, joyful smile. “Yuanyuan caught you!”
