iMJuQQQcoZUySQbThe 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.yDIniGstcZmmTWcJwxfzEOVatqzbpo
GfzPayLwfQhmdRfHe’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.FvFbIiVuKfxWplHvvEnfAbIYuktVBe
ibiAPfiQERWELhtBut today, he couldn’t talk to anyone about it.oHkufZRZuiTCkkxRZcbDEuCZhNCcoy
iDHgiAMfQSmYlKKThe young master thought that he’d been wronged by Yue Siming, and Zhao Cai was determined to save him from his misery.hvEivszwvSgjUzLjRkBXWkgpoVrQcc
gqMmGviNPyXJfFXBut what he was thinking about now was that he might have hurt Yue Siming’s feelings.OSuyFuWjbqYSCWrgOWyDBwAMhefQmF
wWglHiddSvoLaTYThat melancholic and resentful look kept flashing in front of his eyes, not fading away even now.WhEhrNLvyaPpsXkAVxGxEHzoMEpkaL
ROJVAwbiSEXoxNtIn his view, if something went wrong, then something must have been a mistake. Either Yue Siming was wrong, or he was.RKyYkIQdiluRawOlAXFqZxuSSoNFVf
OxgEMMgMYURVpNZSo he tried hard to figure out where the Divine Healer could have been wrong.sNDWGizlwnSXYDLIXKbJEXGvBHGpvE
mctmOuydavOEhiVHe thought about it all afternoon but couldn’t figure out where Yue Siming went wrong.ryUGjpkQuGoIgMzqfzVwRPjGcfEoJb
ESxahGLynlgwrVOJust 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.uDuBiRxMdwSNZUcyGkpCMSgRlfmrvT
jGCfVZdSsttinZDSince he had promised to take responsibility, how could he, as a man, go back on his word?LSjnMMzUOkoMNgSdFEOBerHYLQymyz
SdFplsyUwMwFGXZBut was he really going to go with him like this?iEpcAQSPtowDWfPkYABpuamlOyuPWQ
PNHRIBRTqHwdtmeThis came too suddenly. He had never thought about it before, but now he was being asked to make a decision right away.ozIjDshimZmaKhKkWaYFvbEsrDgFqp
ZtACkdgfZMXGELmHe 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.iExCZSUzrClmJduRvSNbqaYNgrPxyB
UFmERCxYBjCTUrVThat 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.DOAhQypUZXNxeoiEvRqapqxvKRKbdh
laqEXKUiccyVBpOWhen he thought about it, this situation wasn’t all that different from getting married. After all, weren’t he and Yue Siming… a couple?eKgaXUGCjmbiZWotDKOWEHJzsccymj
DFdILDaipOpGzMCThe moment Jinbao thought of this, his face turned beet red.TmdvbqYFbstcQBhPVduWWVqiJXhLSO
dIPoFUUiggaRVNBEven 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.MgwTRFzCcdggOzFhxIhiQwngSckzMt
dkLWbkEnFmPqpsZWhen 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.gUEwUpToQtwffmyaNxzpAjPGJudLQJ
MrmedrKWHQrfzRzTo be fair, aside from being troublesome, sharp-tongued, mean, lustful, and having a bad temper, Yue Siming was quite impressive in every other aspect.qUyfBRfSRBPTnIXPoubnictzjwiQKx
LUoKdivSKgtEAiEHe was incredibly skilled in martial arts, highly proficient in medicine, and on top of all that, he was extremely handsome.XFroUKEwQmnGMUABQeNOkPYIbUseoV
djISIcvsMuZeWpTJinbao never imagined he could end up with such a beautiful spouse, even if it was a man.iDoxVAIRqnACmKDboziEEkPimQPViy
KyesPAAIxbPhegoIt’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.vwzwwEYtGxkWUSewqlqMSdFCtRJZIq
XGjhJvvULijpjeJHis 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…voNSJegpfwhDyEFLtTpGpUwoZNTbOV
gAdcfRxpoObDIavJinbao 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.AMCcFMJRhaXyzRLcejQLMkmUyAeDMo
HKGeyalUuwrZIRVZhao 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.zQKjckgJjLxVcvPypOsMtQLekGbELM
ppStHADlVAMZMQaJinbao thought his feelings were quite similar to what Zhao Cai described. Could it be that he really did have feelings for Yue Siming?UoRAXRhIBCyegIEUzUxjcddGZKLodV
fdGsMYzoUTEVdAwNow, 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?ztjHFOXvOvrxiwdnYPHaRWEuBllwpo
qFQidCQCmEznZfRThe 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.MORBGRLqAQfXUXWLrcOnKRQYpLTMGo
hEogQRvCHapjRKpYes, 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.rKsPiENcGRlrpBjEtULlxHyFDFJino
lXOftdDGjWNCWGQJinbao felt like his mind was split in two—one side with the young master and Zhao Cai, and the other with Yue Siming.WFiFRQWdQSalKzKBwJOLNAqAFUlcwx
VXJKKpHPDXCFSaOHe 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.rttyOBNkhNgfJBlArYRMyLdpzJhiGL
xqMzpKgmCnIuBQYJinbao 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?krRenNLsVgPgmcvUOvoXYrgkRFDnRA
yMzguXYWeOpqcit“Ahhhhhh—!” The boy clutched his head and howled at the sky. Who could show him the right path?mLVVqxJqCndTeffpbiKKdXRLWzkfqA

QDHSFsSxJpsQnkO“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?”hqMZwEUmJEDSuzvLWcJWthdzpwJQoH
kvKPtRPPUeCSBct“N-no… no,” Jinbao stammered, his face turning red at the mention of that name.KmvtxgtsEfcHGrkoJUOtKmNBBTrhSC
vVstCoTpVKHmfBP“What’s going on?” Zhao Cai pulled him to sit down.BtyCzROZYFBgcPkkBwCcunyiLkZTFw
SVynSIFDDIenTzbJinbao 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.eDqQXBxsPnCZSijheotYaeCYJgYRrS
nWeZQFFXCaVnncT“Zhao Cai, I need to ask you something.”yTxvXefUhdnBbkkukdPbtrBqkQFidh

HEVxZwwtsCYQZllZhao Cai was taken aback. “Xiao Rou? We’re doing great.”SYjweDCIntKYdjmdiFakdpHcgNctDo
YEsBrRsZKrgHzYH“Then… after you two get married, will you still live with the young master?”ZeRmfkUhUvdQJPqVVeftTCDFlQzVIJ
ygbUtDOyEdULzDj“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?”fdYUdWWRywxjXQnLNMfeYaIVEaIXJo
Zhaocai frowned. “Jinbao, why are you asking this? Did something happen to Xiaorou?”MEhuQlDHwWiceZKqKjtdmMGfltYvbm

wMDbJdqjvzerAPeJinbao, 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?”mCYKOIHtevzqASLkKnRTwAHDbLeAbw
oaXtdAgmQMpbBZJ“Wherever you go, your wife will follow you,” Zhaocai replied.MILhaDTZwrWscPpsLwDexRDOPAkzgF

geSCIUSJpdCpkiOZhaocai 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.zeADgHMuMHXUSCyTUACHEfnRGNFttP
NSoBemGliyvYKIbWith a stern face, Zhaocai said, “Tell me the truth. Who is it that you’ve taken a liking to?”GSUFenEmvDbSbhIpWtaGhtZpAMaApA
OJHawcxfeRWrSXp“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.cuPWPxUZHQtSClddpriXscuqJuRpKr
INmZKmwiOeNmzOIZhaocai lowered his voice, “Is it a girl with a troubled background?”jElUJnDPILFctWmrxEZiKTMvByoXHT

MZhodgMmjHJlvMzJinbao was stunned. “Really?”yKMfQzEEKaXIcoOPhItWfwNVEWWHMg
dPglYKihcwkNwvh“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?”sPWelFSXeulyKgOAUKtSeNMKQnKbRc
wLWUDwYZluSfnHKJinbao blinked, feeling a bit lost for a moment.mXGPirCOlrYgRZZKSfbYFBpHPEptQK
IPDcpzLHbIRRgYQ“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.”pWcndqQEWvqbVEyKrciHTMeIZxFETn
rPwlWoPzthQHaUKJinbao 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!”InEpdfhmlgIUgrLTSbZWKzrLIVGwfD
eDPzgAggzIfDgpnZhaocai raised his eyebrows playfully, “You’re really not going to tell me who it is?”DZMKMYkaBOiwDphBUsuRIwsZuOZuHo

hQDDRskdwYbfmWwAs 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.GZVaIMmylRiDmbxhyiGNrPjwOBWSGg

bMaslqMfoMLUdtdJinbao jumped in surprise, realizing he’d been noticed all along. Embarrassed, he finally mustered the courage to shuffle inside.ZLrFBZcQiLGiMOTRMEzGFwYNCXUuKH
ITJEiIVRbcraMWUThe doctor glanced at him sideways, clearly uninterested.ckNOUMnJHXeZikThvstSOpPjPYTLAW
fXKSKjqQlOvDuOQJinbao noticed he was struggling to change his bandages, so he quickly offered, “Let me help you.”yqjRpOZbiNEfOiDxpAuapBZldTmxol
kYCiNeNwQZrjbSUQue Siming glared at him. “Who asked for your help? You’re filthy—stay away from me.”adrPkBaLDcmDjTpdwMimggOjkGULbZ
JskfhXhmQxDrwfBStunned by the harsh rejection, Jinbao froze, unsure of what to do with his hands and feet, just standing there helplessly.bkleuToroJNSaCjUXnpiRtKUxmpmbf
FMHfvCeosrcGBtoThe doctor continued unwrapping the bandage from his shoulder, wincing and hissing in pain.yLGlCOPFrWzIVbJunrLHiMhlOMRSfZ
flndYUjVUyDEJgkJinbao 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.NSaUQmCMZaCeGqBRXgNxEHRfnnXDcU
tddUkNORvZVMkBaJinbao quickly stepped forward, “Let me help you with that.”fyHYKEnJpVmOTRgrBeBYCXtsSjzdHU
eperwMhqIoFehZsQue 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.PgIvBsLXlrkKHwuHrmXIAaoIKgGUtu
IUlCORTPmFMauiVJinbao gasped and hurriedly grabbed some medicinal powder, sprinkling it on the wound as he anxiously said, “What are you doing?”SSkFxdEtduetrIkUoXQzcdlDQrmhIa
taliwAeUMUrWfAvThe 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.”RrRkPNlyogECjUUwNLhPgJQbaCvSob
EQrcZtoRFoIuquIJinbao’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.hXrjPFzrjuVfqOVgnCTcHZHnssOJVd
zOHybJevieonzkmThe more furious Que Siming got, the more Jinbao felt he’d done wrong, and his guilt deepened.TWxxoBGYEefhNJZpdtwhBSMEKbatTa

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

oZaObQQmtgtoOZbBut 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.ecRPWrakioFCVbeyMzcfjbpNMIYWQo
