ZkajssYpSKVpgJcThe child didn’t even eat dinner and sat by the window, watching as the daylight faded into darkness. He sat there, lost in thought, the entire day.QbfZGcSRFKUUmFmVpKOVCRTxOKXWOR
nuqOeFaHSPBVVnJHe’s rarely had anything on his mind growing up. Whatever he thought, others could always tell, and even if they couldn’t, he’d say it himself.FiSRwJqGlxLCwFlkWjRYTeEvgsFTsT
qmvrrhsMIzYIOROBut today, he couldn’t talk to anyone about it.jaInuXHBJTvnUQhxTmhTVOermGuNjo
NBxyqOTGddLtYSCThe young master thought that he’d been wronged by Yue Siming, and Zhao Cai was determined to save him from his misery.FzQJLEMtwkBUZiLupkniCpKcLjibtZ
ghXxDbADoAXxfyEBut what he was thinking about now was that he might have hurt Yue Siming’s feelings.VQQFcEIjjimOlxjjNhqqAfBzKteoCQ
JmjlBzsOuRKOtXWThat melancholic and resentful look kept flashing in front of his eyes, not fading away even now.JkVTTTmHosBCwJAnncFcZoDjQWGmZq
rrlaxRiuTHQMprBIn his view, if something went wrong, then something must have been a mistake. Either Yue Siming was wrong, or he was.QseGlyGWVFLtFwGbnOyuXneETilpWf
DxNJVbtaRxqxLvzSo he tried hard to figure out where the Divine Healer could have been wrong.AahwZaBiKTzrxBvDhNSwuLsHbAlpHz
LSECGkitTOsjgWSHe thought about it all afternoon but couldn’t figure out where Yue Siming went wrong.JzqmYprFycBiZLkSyeggclcPvBghGX
SbTwqibnAUvfjrzJust like Yue Siming said, it was him who boastfully claimed he wanted to marry him, it was him who led him astray to the point of no longer liking women, and it was still him who caused the Yue family to be left without an heir. Although he always felt these accusations were somewhat unfair, he couldn’t think of how to refute them.VmYGqQsaGXcoZHUWIRRttEUBGxCwPW
zSnANDtThKNZQWMSince he had promised to take responsibility, how could he, as a man, go back on his word?SYItqZVwYLGnoVwgXUfyVvQfppkOVA
aMtdzymTuTcffBdBut was he really going to go with him like this?ricUIdwGkfyinzgmjIRlzSOEPfjmSJ
qJvqWFiEjRAqerfThis came too suddenly. He had never thought about it before, but now he was being asked to make a decision right away.npxWtqGZledwqqljreEuQSoQaNNqmD
mdAdGgzpeLikOKwHe didn’t know how to describe this feeling. It was as if he had already made up his mind to live in one place for the rest of his life, and he was living there quite contentedly. Then, suddenly, one day, he was forced to relocate, leaving behind familiar places, familiar family, everything he knew, and heading to a completely unfamiliar place. He didn’t know what awaited him there, didn’t know if he would be happy, didn’t know if he would regret it.AmBkoZePTxknKPuPbJRwLVQcrePKCH
dUdLNRQxLjEHuCJThat sense of awkwardness, confusion, hesitation, anxiety—it was as if… The boy felt a bit embarrassed, wondering if his current feelings were like those of a young woman getting married. He remembered a sister in the Jin family who was about to marry someone far away, and she had clung to him, crying all night, pouring out all her worries. Everything she said seemed to echo what he was feeling now.GArcQzERLVlXZCjhseiRJPSxpbCJPA
aJWrobjFMNVRzaiWhen he thought about it, this situation wasn’t all that different from getting married. After all, weren’t he and Yue Siming… a couple?jPbdzVFlkoIlhizyUqKQPSswrkBhyy
uPnOLSaBzgsvdHIThe moment Jinbao thought of this, his face turned beet red.BiEqczgiWyNMUfbvdIqXbEgTUcwCQT
qBVJSxVhhqBGfcnEven now, he couldn’t quite wrap his head around the fact that he and Yue Siming were actually a couple. If Yue Siming hadn’t said it himself, Jinbao probably would never have imagined in his lifetime that they’d end up in this kind of relationship.KWsEVJfVnvyjknDnjjnwAwpPtLxgud
ZzLWKsxPuDtYbgBWhen he was younger, he often fantasized about what his future wife would be like—shy, demure, gentle, fiery, capable. She could be anything, but never once had he thought it would be a man, let alone such an extraordinary man.ybLBMWJwnVlevPICNdrxqnsiDuXOZe
AUztpQxavUkgUpATo be fair, aside from being troublesome, sharp-tongued, mean, lustful, and having a bad temper, Yue Siming was quite impressive in every other aspect.TKZWgeBEMAOHfnCsxQMsDVbCgGjvBb
tZYnFYJyOlUNptuHe was incredibly skilled in martial arts, highly proficient in medicine, and on top of all that, he was extremely handsome.FRTJGtwxFSwNGDdfopcFintaCLoWWL
iVJIdpLGNXdlBksJinbao never imagined he could end up with such a beautiful spouse, even if it was a man.XFaRnPJLYXZNbbGSCPZDAiRBkYnCnl
gcfCqwJzifNyxtAIt’s already quite something for an ordinary person to have one good quality, but Yue Siming had so many. Jinbao felt that he really wasn’t qualified to pick faults with Yue Siming; he should be content.MmBQMtQauSUngQtfLeEGfcfAMHZRxF
odMskuxzLqlovWyHis feelings toward Yue Siming had evolved—from initial fear, to disgust, to confusion, to guilt, and now, whenever he thought of him, his face would flush, and his heart would race…AGKdiftMPMlMqRuRWdlVrGkuqZnqfX
kVqvJUgLsJEitSwJinbao buried his head in his knees, his cheeks burning hot. He remembered how he once asked Zhao Cai what it felt like to like someone.OqzJundjkCvUoxfQhBgqvnoauftVpw
fIevQkwhQzUeysJZhao Cai had said that if you really liked someone, you couldn’t stop thinking about them. Sometimes it felt sweet, sometimes frustrating. If that person was happy, you’d be happy too; if they were sad, you’d feel sad along with them.AxAMAxaggaukVGbsVtlqXTLiBFkIbp
wnoVCyVzlhsPvGWJinbao thought his feelings were quite similar to what Zhao Cai described. Could it be that he really did have feelings for Yue Siming?OOJKEekNMKAzUHSEuJpwsUbnuHLqjT
bQktOrnSQkwKZuRNow, whenever he thought of Yue Siming’s face, he felt even more nervous than when he saw a pretty girl. When Yue Siming snuggled into his arms, he felt a rush of manly pride, like he was protecting his beloved wife. And when Yue Siming was hurt, it pained him deeply. Did this mean he liked Yue Siming?RhzemkhDjOwiMYFJbRolifJCaZWLQy
BZVsDDBqxjaTpueThe boy was shocked by the conclusion he finally reached after a whole day without eating or drinking, but at the same time, he felt a sense of relief.MaXKnSSiIlvxERJtoAwiTORbVmyFjM
bhsgGbHCWcBqFLVYes, this made sense. He did have feelings for Yue Siming. With how Yue Siming treated him, it seemed Yue Siming had feelings for him too. The two of them were indeed a couple, so it was only right for Yue Siming to want him to go with him.jdvYcIvpCIKzRdaYKNvbZRFDKHunJy
JZNgEQOCUyoVhbiJinbao felt like his mind was split in two—one side with the young master and Zhao Cai, and the other with Yue Siming.otalUaTruPsTmRiUpQuGtYuPNRxKRS
GCPSrQXPwgmywQjHe couldn’t let go of the young master, and he couldn’t bear to leave Zhao Cai, but he also had a responsibility toward Yue Siming.JeOLKAyyNaBjOzmRflVOMSStFJYUPc
gbjVtDCKCYwcOgSJinbao had never made such an important decision in his life. Even though he finally understood what was going on between him and Yue Siming, the problem still circled back to the original question: Should he go with Yue Siming or not?YscxSiCaFMPmZoFXehPboAwFUlberz
VuxrDZdYLUNezCQ“Ahhhhhh—!” The boy clutched his head and howled at the sky. Who could show him the right path?MCeEyDCsLvRkzPzOJzriceXaaeJhca

qiTnjZATeLDZdeGZhao Cai, having just finished washing up and preparing for bed, looked up as someone entered. “Jinbao?”MnsdyXGgJmtOybUFmZFQiwjeeSZDLI
RkMEYBVzPkuTKEoJinbao hesitantly stepped inside and closed the door. “Zhao Cai.”ZUsjJUoPIihxfFRuVyoALGPdifUkXj
bNQQoOihrecosXH“What are you doing here so late?” Zhao Cai asked, noticing his disheveled appearance and the heavy look on his face. “Did Yue Siming bully you?”rTxWZjDkridCpCPBFKrmIGfZdomIRM
vTwSCQXZTeMFPjv“N-no… no,” Jinbao stammered, his face turning red at the mention of that name.VaKYdfqycaLoBdyNWRwSzAROOwpaLO
hzMSjpFbCNgxzdC“What’s going on?” Zhao Cai pulled him to sit down.CnIVeLMXcrsZevTAXNFWlJmoDGsHLI
ZQvQPPvZgqZDKqXJinbao found it hard to look at him. He was so indecisive that he could only turn to Zhao Cai, who always had advice for him.oMmsoEgOltBQBIADdRqSnoSIyqExsY
PAPgRmtjnvnrjHs“Zhao Cai, I need to ask you something.”NhOTMNnIOOdaBWZQGWfqjYaOPlKSun

OpjQnqSwddmchlB“You… you and Miss Xiao Rou, are you doing well?”WVHsdiiPucnzrzYiSLtEngKuyQVhjI
MTTOASZaWlojMSxZhao Cai was taken aback. “Xiao Rou? We’re doing great.”bRFUjksFwaxzNNOnhObnwZTVgXyJMY
xcLaKRWsKPaohrc“Then… after you two get married, will you still live with the young master?”CcZdFjLPKRbEHwwNFwWbQklQxDJjXL
krzBgVZGLSvtium“If Xiao Rou marries me, she’ll live with me, of course. If the young master stays in Dali long-term, then we’ll live here too.”
“If… if Miss Xiaorou plans to go somewhere else, far away from the young master and me, would you still follow her?”QqidXWlruzVvFZirqBLUxhgQXwZPMa
Zhaocai frowned. “Jinbao, why are you asking this? Did something happen to Xiaorou?”vPxuUgrpWEZmOnROBLFuHDYuxWEMIT
IKfUhuvCaAIPfRy“No, no, nothing like that. I’m just speaking hypothetically.”aLposvmYnbaAGBeqOwgUcHSIKTRfxt
UqdPPKqxWReVdbZ“Tell me why you’re asking this first.”eWDGaiAKVYPIDHflQbMymsZSydAmWO
ZhhJzfpAYxTuDYiJinbao, being cautious, didn’t dare to mention that it was related to Que Siming. Instead, he said, “I see that things are going well between you and Miss Xiaorou, so I was just thinking… what if I get married someday but can’t stay with you guys? What then?”LnCbIETdnWpUushghnNwpvNtdxCpgY
XDdsPMjIegyAXsM“Wherever you go, your wife will follow you,” Zhaocai replied.ETiqNhAfFgIcdMqBsFbkDLYJRughgY

qmFqkgpJtCWWphrZhaocai looked at Jinbao, a bit surprised and uneasy. For the first time, he couldn’t figure out what Jinbao was thinking, which made him uncomfortable. It felt like the child he had raised now had secrets of his own that he couldn’t understand.cOXxUriXcQfVUxByaUnaDKKtSyZjhh
wWIcAiJMKtRCJheWith a stern face, Zhaocai said, “Tell me the truth. Who is it that you’ve taken a liking to?”oqtRQfZdIVLyuiFBoRputgbWOWDEMs
DFRFpOPNmQbqWMn“I… I haven’t…” Jinbao’s eyes darted around, knowing Zhaocai could tell he was lying, but he just didn’t dare to say it.aIDYWeYpToWrsQeggVnLEBbzGJHuJO
HIhwoemnLdOuNesZhaocai lowered his voice, “Is it a girl with a troubled background?”TlGLoXGwLLdOxbMTVIynWZgbEZVNDd

ZilevCBBuMayVHMJinbao was stunned. “Really?”ahPCLTQEFMBmRZfUlkldEiAiAfUqxW
ZdpYUWUtudnllPx“Of course. Someday, I’ll get married, and so will the young master. Do you think you can stay a follower your whole life? Besides, just because you leave doesn’t mean you’ll never come back. It’s not like we’ll never see each other again. But the person you like, you might only have one chance in your entire life—how could you miss that?”nUdORezWnTWsPuCtysxsWgymYmssbz
lXymWzpEJBTZljFJinbao blinked, feeling a bit lost for a moment.iyJumeFMxCePQybnQSyDsaUYbHhIQf
MpkPQfdfoQHUZUK“Don’t worry. The young master won’t make things difficult for you. We’re not kids anymore. If you settle down, we’ll be happy for you. Even if it’s a girl with a troubled background, as long as she’s sincere with you, that’s all that matters.”uZtDucDFtOnXGFWwqtSsstKmJmYIPF
lcqimJYBNBSSadYJinbao nodded in a daze, then suddenly, as if enlightened, he tightly grasped Zhaocai’s hand. “Zhaocai, you’re right. You always have the best ideas. Thank you!”YeojWsKNcWMtzJCAPMkrvSYGtLzfIA
epxAVuQfHCRwmvLZhaocai raised his eyebrows playfully, “You’re really not going to tell me who it is?”sLOkrWSdikzIjXQNbZydwpYLuvXGZq
jcthyYSgQcsHVXiJinbao chuckled awkwardly. “You’ll know in a few days. Anyway, as long as we both like each other, that’s all that matters, right?”joBxtPVNzvXTetboGhkwsaJVFnJHIS
JMKRSTMBvcGGBux“Right. Finding a good person isn’t easy, so you can’t hesitate. Even if you end up apart from us, we’ll come visit you, and you can always come back to see us.”OhGjtUWMIieJXUupiOujAootXuPmNm

MBfPeJXvJkfWDaHZhaocai smiled as he saw him out, watching Jinbao’s figure disappear into the night. A sense of melancholy crept into his heart.kDtoqvMffFWSBHdOEGkjtKLEyQhRCF

soKxwndEwbVovhEAs Jinbao approached Que Siming’s room, he noticed the lights were still on. He hesitated outside for almost half an hour, too nervous to go in.kQvDfBAQvbzwbYuQJGjFfuTZMMFFnL

TDQLrELwRDbuhfH“Are you done pacing around outside? If you’re not coming in, then get lost.”owKjJKGwQmMRqKRUGffEOJerKEYCRk
AYpYQeOrESetvXlJinbao jumped in surprise, realizing he’d been noticed all along. Embarrassed, he finally mustered the courage to shuffle inside.JrBBwPVAcczsZyljZqyucoHAinKeeS
KwBZCCeEKjWPIaUThe doctor glanced at him sideways, clearly uninterested.FITYGNTldEvgEoCpazXASjOhMwmXGg
kDdBoFERXpnvGsPJinbao noticed he was struggling to change his bandages, so he quickly offered, “Let me help you.”XNIrPgCmoJZwzWEoyzZYGksCPvRRPQ
yqjrtyKgQOFGxHzQue Siming glared at him. “Who asked for your help? You’re filthy—stay away from me.”VfuDqiWOhwoZkwuivwiWDMNjNrqMyN
eGXmhnGvXMaFLTDStunned by the harsh rejection, Jinbao froze, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet, just standing there helplessly.cbmCrBvoakmHfsjxuBaYBcmllBQVyZ
cjdEQTPjaLgdzuxThe doctor continued unwrapping the bandage from his shoulder, wincing and hissing in pain.CycvuZjegxYYtVqMPFEMilYleHRteg
VAOUWtNimkWnQVcJinbao watched as he slowly peeled away the bandage, revealing a wound that was starting to scab over. It still looked bloody and terrifying. When Que Siming got to the last bit, the bandage stuck to the wound.xJlrrTiFpsliNXpEdImfsvBCmnBDtf
ktsDeWVoPKPiSSzJinbao quickly stepped forward, “Let me help you with that.”IKYKuZXtxrxlIBoJyzHJaKWgKywZYZ
DMtLJRfDaPqNJKGQue Siming looked up and glared at him, then, out of spite, yanked the bandage off forcefully. The bandage came off, but fresh blood immediately began to seep from the newly healed area.ndKPsgGLIgWQnxTBOaaREBwzeWtmjt
kvtqpDPBTwdDxffJinbao gasped and hurriedly grabbed some medicinal powder, sprinkling it on the wound as he anxiously said, “What are you doing?”SohoukqZalFfYXYSaqhZnPDiwEsjvd
QwGRosnBdGoZwFOThe doctor kicked him away. “Who needs your fake concern? Go worry about that worthless young master of yours. Even if my hand is crippled, it’s none of your business.”vXzkHdvxNIhsiiXzppTrrtSYXBhTVy
JdsCZroXEBdWLFdJinbao’s face flushed, turning pale and then purple. Que Siming’s horrifying wound felt like evidence of his guilt. Every time he saw it, he felt he owed Que Siming, knowing that the injury should have been his. Que Siming had shielded him, taken a knife for him, and he hadn’t even repaid him yet, but he’d already managed to hurt him. He felt like the lowest of the low.KzEZHMrVMReNTAhvvgsOyUPjhnxNOo
HgMqRRgZBgQUupEThe more furious Que Siming got, the more Jinbao felt he’d done wrong, and his guilt deepened.zkWjMEoNzuyQiQHODOBNnQKeCoAGMW
nqUjAiQwTNUsBOo“Please… don’t be like this. I admit I was wrong, okay?”PqjVXhuyZnJeegtWzdSjndUwCuDkhD

jQMSvswIbmCctEc“Yes, it was my fault. I’m sorry. Please don’t be mad.” Jinbao apologized humbly, all the while reapplying the bandages to Que Siming’s wound.NaCdLXiUmcnptLVBHSkDbmFkKsUbSd
zJNgRUCFdgIRYEr“You’re all talk. Everything you say is just bullshit—none of it means anything.”mnbhQTdTnCsyTYlVhYHuTkrSILummt

BQzmqUrCzNZYQEsQue Siming froze, his body trembling slightly. He steadied himself, then looked at Jinbao calmly. “Really?”DLeLlXVaUsAVuvwkgQkzWtTyYnuUQN

AzvLcgRiUswNhqxQue Siming clenched his hand into a fist behind his back, restraining his excitement, while outwardly maintaining a calm demeanor as he looked at Jinbao.nxquVQwPjWWnEWLROgrnxdwmsBWIdg

kQTgcITVuSiRcNQBut Jinbao had pissed him off so many times, he couldn’t let him off the hook that easily. Otherwise, the fool would get too bold and become difficult to manage in the future.hRVVKrxUsEjEMuXxXtCzVUNmyoMvvb

rrrayQLqSxVhDJB“Huh?” Jinbao was flustered. Having a grown man sit on someone’s lap was just too much.uwbNssfspORaTbGyOZwzvQNkkDIBFm
