Chapter 3
Young Yue Siming looked at the black child in front of him with helplessness. He had no choice; Wang Erhu was as if he had fallen from the sky, so he could only make do with him.XTURVHVXZxSRKmxsEBntIjHCOZpfeB
DlpALPxhfYmvIuV“Hey, come here.” Yue Siming waved at him and pointed to the chair in front of him. “Sit here.”ZTxlfBePtWRBqWThHHiYhAvQcbNjsa
bhMDrNMKqzkfiriWang Erhu obediently jumped up from the ground and sat in the chair.GFpOXlicsgolsZHFsGkrsAUvitsaEY
JMvjAjDtLXLGKcMYue Siming pulled a box from the table and lifted the lid. “Eat this.”kltFpefBGfCdOZnhiUvgWtDfaeGQWS
RmIXcEZiTeNjwNFWang Erhu’s eyes sparkled like stars as he stared at the delicious and tempting pastries in the box, almost drooling. “Really… really for me to eat?”tGekvKwVygOdbaEWimvHeNHijUlAqs
PBTqCmZMWRviQmhYue Siming gave a mischievous smile. “Eat up.”XjMsUpEWBqTRsWnWLYbvxXWjQxmniX
GXemXSfHkMEYDPdThe child hesitated for a moment, then quickly grabbed one and stuffed it into his mouth, afraid Yue Siming would change his mind.nibYxnwztRzTtLvAubtvcouTqDMzlV
EiMydNalrdkEFpwUnfortunately, after just one bite, the child’s face changed drastically, almost vomiting. His face fell immediately, the pastry stuck in his mouth, neither swallowing nor spitting it out, just staring at Yue Siming with tearful eyes.sqKgTJjVgtgrKBHulCLJygbGEzEtdu
IBwTxKlmDllTdneYue Siming’s expression turned serious. “If you dare to spit it out!”rUQWqMTCiVEeugBSzhbycTxnsFRKEW
VCYEgQURVOHbrEkThe child shook his head, on the verge of tears.asUYkZqEVozSofKfNhEKHtSCziSgdn
MfuWweRcpZZIZon“Swallow it!”jCPydbGyWNxwIHosohbMbYSoyghJQQ
zJIMPjMICvZwrTRThe child could only force himself to swallow.RaNPZpZYdWmPZLzFZAmsKZhKmIBnrd
BFMuhumseyunYDDThe pastry was actually made by a pharmacist to help Yue Siming with his health. Despite adding a lot of sugar, the medicinal taste couldn’t be masked. Besides, someone checked if he ate it every day, and most of the time someone was watching him, so it was inconvenient to throw it away. It was just right to make this silly kid eat it.UYpUabURORPMYybNuHQoVWcHYdhZiV
LyZOBHRcCuZpqDn“Everyone in the General’s residence eats this; it’s the best pastry.”rcbMxVSbHlxQfZDbhhhAhHNpEZTigv
UcqnZdySsKuBwiFWang Erhu, grinning, finally swallowed it and made several ‘ugh’ gestures.NMFbwknDWpVadzfEshwnPBxyxhuIYr

oIxFmVNIRgXBwve“Don’t worry, this one is sweet.” As he spoke, Yue Siming took one and ate it with great enjoyment.gYjmdUTwJraJbUXGXHImFCHBCAwWvq
lrItZNxHUFNEQXZThe child, skeptical, was tempted by the fragrant pastry. Yue Siming was smacking his lips happily. Unable to resist the temptation, the child finally picked one up and took a cautious bite.jJWdJJyjMxACMbHTpibUuTpLwFgnJT
rFTMVnWnZuxHLylThen he began to gobble it up.qCnGyBEBVQmrSvhHMbXzpMPRkhdTrY
unECDOkysaxNHTeHe had never eaten something so delicious—sweet, soft, and glutinous, melting in his mouth.ArQofAppMeLxdmGNcZBiAgDEMvaUZH
JlciwUFDllkkTSZAfter finishing one, Wang Erhu looked at Yue Siming timidly, his eyes full of longing.HJKtAsCFFbJQHNFfdXARbNisTaRblA
NujXPZzXDkkDNgHYue Siming gave a wicked smile and pushed the previous box over. “Want to eat? Then eat this first.”CbMImheCzGjsCxukiMZEcLFfNLQcaw
KmQaglXRZLtwcJnThe child’s face fell.GIwBkQmDMXDSuRORVMflTjqPilhmEQ
PScnPoKmEKNHIeZ“You want to eat something good, you need to eat this first. It’s the rule in the General’s residence.”keaAqrHngMfjcWaBGyXfmfOxztPHoJ
EqzrgHqVNOUbhSrThe child thought, “Why are people in the General’s residence so troublesome? Is this supposed to make you immortal?”AVBJYbcZokLCQphrcGkEyfRREshcJv
TlkUVGfxtmgeIHlYue Siming raised his chin. “Eat it. Once you finish, I’ll let you eat this.”KSwWHQDyyLruuXwfDviDzVsahkindC
FvkbQoFRIWQjzmfThe child, with limited capacity for processing, struggled between the temptation of delicious food and the disgust of the awful one. In the end, deciding that he didn’t want to eat something so nasty even if he couldn’t have something delicious, he shook his head in infinite regret.aUAdpncTzHhVtVGNijndhHJZAsdPrJ
DpURHGAWmOKrmLLYue Siming’s expression changed quickly. He slammed his little hand on the table. “Do you think you can act spoiled after eating my stuff? Eat it, or I’ll feed you to the big wolf dog!”lIjrqRQmLcGNKPKpxMVBtOPlDNnQLn
ysOsHXtuHRHZuaAWang Erhu jumped off the stool in anger. Though he was genuinely afraid of this little devil, this was going too far.femoJGWCnnCuYiFVaOmjLNtDHwEuYQ
fKWPHrgRdtJCswDHowever, under the threat of Yue Siming’s big wolf dog, he soon realized he was on their turf, right next to the wolf dog’s mouth. He immediately softened and looked at Yue Siming pleadingly.DtMcHnMCFcgxPycaKXdItejJKCXSGb
UzjgHHIiuRHWgtqSeeing that he was scared, Yue Siming immediately took a combination of kindness and coercion. “Eat one of these, and you can eat a delicious one. I have lots of delicious things you’ve never seen before. I can give you all of them. Come on, eat.”XzOzdnDGbmZlKxcCjJSIqFiEVnOxrO
PxnygLTAUPwxORAUnder this pressure and temptation, the child, with tears in his eyes, managed to eat three of the awful pastries, finally feeling his stomach was about to burst.GmFpvGEZgoAWFKgieLuygBaPLggHcj
gyvTdUOgJKRqFkgYue Siming was quite satisfied and even condescended to pour him a glass of water.YyVuCFNSRubSIpqPYocDEjodBCZckS
eEZaZdcrilKTDhwThe child, understanding that staying in the General’s residence was not a good idea, told Yue Siming he wanted to go home.RSmUjxOOJpCgxznhllwFXuCtcnwIhZ
sEPvMXTzWyytEMoYue Siming glared. “You think the Yue residence is somewhere you can come and go as you please?”GcQcrovrxDFMAOPpSMNAyseFtnrrjU
shswXOVIcNDpnPwThe child nearly knelt. “Young Master Yue, what more do you want?”gwoCQNBnRYKnKXVCBzhUuNPfEqYYtk

RUfeLLPDqqrRHKU“But… I can’t stay here forever.”CoOiAGCilUNYfuxtTeBEJLVDBAbOMf
hdrhclEmGysCifgYue Siming arrogantly lifted his chin. “So what if you stay here? I’ll take care of you. You won’t starve.”SACeOitpJnGcPCpTskKSLuOgANiQQL
PxzEWsvEcIZBnorWang Erhu was stunned, feeling that he could not reason with this person. Though he had always dreamed of living in the General’s residence, if he could never leave again, what would he do?nvJOKjBuqudForlsJryoEpjjDiEODO
dnMBOlxiDbcVlTsThe child’s eyes turned red, deeply realizing he had entered a den of tigers and wolves, possibly never seeing his parents, siblings, or family again. Overcome with sadness, tears welled up in his eyes, and he was on the verge of crying.RHXdsJkICEJIacuFGDNMGFnFFpuHrX
ycLakCNpNwuqYXWYue Siming yelled, “Why are you crying? No crying allowed.” The child circled around Wang Erhu twice, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration. “Come here.”LVKModbkKNNGqcpNnuklLAqtuFQEHO
GxnMmVhcBJgmsJMWith that, he ran to the cabinet at the foot of the bed, pulled open a drawer, and mysteriously smiled at Wang Erhu. “Come look.”OiGLsMiIelNNwEgOowsYIFeEyNfkOa
tfQsGroLlXfOvkUThe child, still holding back tears, could barely see through his misty eyes, but saw a dazzling array of items in the cabinet. He immediately wiped his eyes and hopped over to Yue Siming’s side.rJsrlHpbNXtPMhbmlzNltZRfPsWhHG
KzeIxJYrURwiiYBThe cabinet was filled with an assortment of treasures the child had never seen before—glowing large beads, round and smooth gems, beautiful porcelain, and delicate little figures of magpies and grasshoppers. The child stared, his eyes wide open, forgetting all about crying, mesmerized by the novelty of the items.TvUfEekPfDeJWscwShwkCdlUdtwEsX
zEHdogQBxqhglbnYue Siming, seeing his astonished look, felt a bit smug. “How about that? I have so many fun things. If you stay here, I’ll give them all to you.”HrJFgQQQvpAWaMwqErYvLSGIiUrmlM
jLOQrufiRnYyQfNWang Erhu’s innocent and pure heart was instantly swayed. He hesitated for a moment, glanced at the outside sky, and thought it was still early. Maybe he could play a bit longer.xYSeNgGryFMwSBTUGeGLMfHvmKMHxg
eBkRWtOrTFuNwgjYue Siming, with a smirk, handed him a crystal-clear grasshopper. “Here you go.”FgCWNqbWKTdXjbpSdJqegVrLPyncnH
EQXgAlKEmpOSvyBThe child held the item as if it were a precious mountain, carefully cradling it. “Really… really for me?”oHQqdtqMSSsxIzzjHqaAUdPFeRWFbC
ucrKCLSQcgFqKnPYue Siming lifted his chin. “When I say something, I mean it.”TQyDIIcGcaroRuLSPvNhNLuxTQjDtC
giXEavNLzhnksWiThe child was overjoyed, nearly speechless. He had never seen anything so beautiful, far surpassing the little gold Buddha at the village chief’s house. If he could take this back, Dawei and the others would be so envious, pestering him to let them play with it. At that point, he wouldn’t settle for being a vice leader; he wanted to be the leader, and no one would dare bully him.ERHjAEnCCnxovpCDmKapkqbyjYDYPD
hrTdEgPNSHyxumdThinking about this, the child was overwhelmed with excitement and gratitude towards Yue Siming. To him, Yue Siming, who had seemed like a bully earlier, now appeared like a deity—handsome, generous, and with so many beautiful treasures. He was practically a living Bodhisattva.JNPQBbYedcKWzRgEikHBMYMnNnXluz
IXEgTuGGndAEWzIThe child excitedly kept thanking him and then remembered that his mother had told him that when someone gives you something, you should reciprocate. His mother had spent a long time explaining this concept to him, and he had only recently understood that it meant if someone gives you something, you should also give them something in return.PUOeHGrLUoXkCZircfOyItOZShuIpn
KMckSUvMjxEbSeHXiao Hu Wang Erhu was a bit troubled about what to give the very fine and beautiful Young Master Yue.EnkfsokWfxniPCkjIkvljYHYtxzlte
AjYqZNgygfIMeGgGlancing at the crystal grasshopper in his hand, the child suddenly had an idea and said to Yue Siming, “Young Master Yue, wait a moment. I have something to give you.”ucXMoyNMEpkXXROMyKZWPeCRhnSebh
ImyCYlOWuMbCkuSYue Siming, curious, blinked. He remembered that he had come empty-handed, not even wearing clothes, so what could he possibly give him?eUAhmMSoZZDBgqPpBPooDODBDACsxp
uJkzbpYQSnlVpmoWang Erhu quietly opened the door and tiptoed out into the yard.bpgJbfrYkSuwGaHdVxddyxfETPnsPc
TvTSxXSwfXQZoBcYue Siming, worried that he might be discovered, hurriedly followed him outside. He saw the child rummaging around in the yard for a while and then returning with a bunch of seven or eight-inch-long grass.zGiGAKcmljlvBLumtpwshqMDWTNfuJ
MLuSREIHCFcrmjHYue Siming watched as the child mysteriously spread the grass on the ground and then crouched down to see what he would do.iJoATLCaDZnYUjwqRgRjKmcGuyzjXq
tAizkZQoZzaNvuvThe child showed a dexterity he had never demonstrated before, twisting and turning the strands of grass. In no time, under Yue Siming’s increasingly bright eyes, he crafted a vibrant green grasshopper and presented it to Yue Siming with pride.cEvYwzRuHTuWDmxadjaKBGrNvkiwID
kTUCWkehTXeFJXS“I learned how to make this grasshopper from my grandfather. No one else can make it.”SOaUuEXqaKaSPGywGdfEDsPvYwzqSt
zhWmQBKAAMOKoFOYue Siming looked at the item in his hand with the same sense of novelty and fun that Wang Erhu had when he saw a cabinet full of sparkling things. He had never known that a few strands of grass could be crafted into such a lifelike grasshopper. The green, gleaming little thing seemed like it might jump up at any moment, much better than the transparent and lifeless one.yITShoOgByoMWtIbOoOurDJZkTRpWL
ucbRrurweDXlKpKThis was the most joyful and surprising gift he had ever received. He happily glanced at Wang Erhu, thinking that although he was a bit clumsy and dirty, he was still quite endearing and could be easily entertained.MEjAyMUfPwpsExmKvgLBLNbHWAjSTX
DMSFtIhhTjbbzKeHe had been confined in this large courtyard since he was young and had never left the mansion. Every day was spent either taking medicine or reading books. He didn’t like the people around him, who were all overly cautious as if he might shatter at any moment. He was extremely frustrated and found that only Wang Erhu, who was carefree and unpretentious, could play with him properly.SossCZygBghGXDBflQEprrfaxxlsPF
rGPkHVaCMsiutlKHe wanted to keep Wang Erhu in his own room, away from everyone else, so that he wouldn’t leave and could teach him how to make grasshoppers and stay with him all the time.WFcaAPBCJhvmSMcCAUwjTDGqMEnevQ
guEOyCZkQStIRjrWang Erhu clearly had few things to show off. Seeing that he could do something that the young master of the General’s Mansion couldn’t, his pride swelled greatly. He immediately said he would teach Yue Siming and then happily went out to gather a lot of grass, preparing to teach Yue Siming with great seriousness.vioLanxtqIiuXGHjsLMLBiFXBjXtbI
LJvOtiGXAUBaVITYue Siming, who had been fascinated by the novelty of the little trinket, had forgotten about his usual irritation. Only now did he realize that these were just weeds from the yard. His expression immediately darkened, and he said to Wang Erhu, “It’s so dirty. Go wash it for me.”oVbFYgnypkBeloKhjCatIbczCdSDQz
YUjtNVjZFYFJdYAThe child was taken aback. “Why are you so finicky? How dirty can it be? Just wash your hands after playing.”nTenPOVUGthjYDuDzbWUpcXOBorPtz
wgrSRYAYrXrIjycYue Siming raised his eyebrows, “Nonsense, hurry up and wash it.”NDlqnyGaepAAwZQALCdHjjOyySXvzb
YPhxbTmuNgcYTLqReluctantly, Wang Erhu turned around and saw the large tub of water he had just used for bathing. He stood on tiptoe and washed the grass in that water.frJOgMrMzRSBWGnXoDLTxfeltGUyjf
horFDcAPqGgGGZdYue Siming’s expression grew increasingly unpleasant. He jumped up and kicked Wang Erhu’s butt, saying, “Are you a pig? The water you used for bathing is dirtier than this.”fbJvxJAxhcYFNppjlxulucbktikzDl
mUQMChyDaopmYmTThe child, caught off guard by the kick, almost fell and got angry. He shouted, “You’re so fussy, like an old woman. I’m not playing with you anymore!”kcFfBGVYUoTxxyCpdxasgrOjTzcHjo
FyUePuDZoJUmCSOHe threw the handful of grass onto the ground with a thud and turned to leave.FSmACjJFTVSEvjbMizVQpEdCdqzqWR
PTJDIPffAPjUJSvYue Siming, infuriated, ran in front of him and shouted, “Dare to leave! I’ll feed you to the big wolfdog!”XXBXLsgMdTUVwdgxwlsmzIiCLkcZee
KLvKLDSKVjGogOg“Feed it yourself! I’ll choke it to death!”dSOtZmQqFxypONRPWVXbvVUdTpUhHE
cUYUiCDEyVQDvCn“I’ll chop you into pieces and feed you to several big wolfdogs!”lLBNMAZnWFLSGrMidxhcHakIRsxUJv
EyTwIgQEpcMBILo“Then I’ll bite you to death first!” Wang Erhu was really enraged. He jumped up, pounced on Yue Siming, and knocked the precious young master to the ground, sitting on his esteemed belly.FGYYigTvYcKNRsDWjImmGtsdnrBjbl
LbmemLZLlcxjPkMYue Siming was born prematurely, weighing only three and a half pounds, and nearly didn’t survive. Since he was a child, his health had been frail, and he was often ill. Everyone in the mansion treated him with extreme care, as if he were a fragile porcelain item. He had never experienced anything like this before.ZdzbcAHVYTlTsRnlWEzWpcmfkeWBjy
qqEZveJqyfYnphtWang Erhu, on the other hand, had been trained from a young age through rough-and-tumble activities in the countryside, climbing trees, catching birds, and fishing. He often wrestled with his friends, and despite being thin himself, he was much stronger compared to Yue Siming, who was as frail as a chick. He easily pinned the young master to the ground, making him unable to move.dJFhtpqkSSMWmhgEPWiugWBzlEjoZz
YUtTlXDcVWWcPRuYue Siming was terrified. He had only seen Wang Erhu as a submissive and timid child before, so he was shocked by this sudden turn of events. His face flushed red, and he shouted, “Get off me! How dare you! I’ll have my father cut off your head!”gqsWDzuVcruPlBHuHkIqumuITUivsB
nklYuayujMppfiLWang Erhu looked at Yue Siming’s puffed cheeks and felt trapped in a difficult situation. However, he decided to go all the way and firmly pinched Yue Siming’s tender face, saying, “Who are you going to have cut off whose head, huh? Do you believe I’ll bite you to death?”cSKMbztvsKIaxhCqnEpzGfIOWUhIYr
ddeuavipdifGVJBYue Siming, unaccustomed to such treatment, had tears of humiliation welling up in his eyes. His face was pinched painfully, but he continued to shout, “You stupid fool! You’re doomed! I won’t let you get away with this!”ewZENONvGJnPjDHZrvrJvigTwuHDOx
YpphpBTIApJsYmMAfter a while, Wang Erhu, feeling that it was getting pointless, and realizing he wasn’t very skilled at bullying others, felt bad. Although this was his first time dominating someone so overwhelmingly, he felt he had gone too far and was unable to continue. Seeing the tears in Yue Siming’s beautiful eyes, he felt he was being too harsh, especially since Yue Siming had given him delicious food and a pretty trinket.vJmlXpWBbHmdnceaizZwSuCTNgpcDM
cTLnXzgbFtSNhWwThe child thought for a moment, then got off Yue Siming and ran towards the door, shouting, “I’m not playing with you anymore, I’m going home.”jrgyehdlrBqylISGhkNlhfWUtfWvhd
CDGeilovaIcfOMQAs he opened the door and rushed out, he turned to see Yue Siming chasing after him. The young master’s face was red and his eyes were burning with fury as he shouted outside, “Help!”VMyfpWFfeOhDLbuFTCKXZbAisslFou
XFRcFFiyqNGnzNWWhen Wang Erhu was grabbed by the collar and lifted up, he knew he was in big trouble.FLkhaWjBLFTbjSCFjTywkzREJRrNGH
JvxRDeYRVFarPMhHe shouldn’t have come in. No matter how Da Wei threatened or tempted him, he shouldn’t have entered.qksWVOfDQmowakHXRAHXHRJaHbjHzk
AHMmpTErVVrnAhVNow, he was truly in danger of being executed. Not only had he sneaked into the General’s Mansion, but he had also bullied the young master. He would never be able to go back home or see his parents and siblings again.atzAIkYFyzVVwbvhyvUNNsrqlySAPp
uInUZXtHRSnYxPiThe child stopped resisting and burst into tears, crying loudly, “Dad… Mom… Waaah… I don’t want to… be executed… Waaah… Big wolfdog… No… Mom ah ah ah ah ah ah ah—”UQpTlyXMhCTfaCaSsiOepaBgAaaLKz
uEQzqcrafggKgGEThe child was used to shouting loudly in the mountains and fields, and his cry stunned everyone present, even making Yue Siming momentarily forget his anger.zQXUEtOQouTYBCKSWOrbAfIyxPxfgd
iFuUWIFMOHvUCfHAs the child cried heartily, suddenly everyone around them exclaimed in unison, “Master!”xfKnJQxwhjkJtNFDvhLREPhhaZETKX
LAKgHfedHMUCtnWThe child hiccupped loudly, abruptly stopping his crying. Tears continued to stream down his face as he stiffly turned his head to see the man walking towards him with his back to the sun.QerZIJGarHKbRVSKMjlyrcmmVwVQvb
lirlDIRRLaMZtgOThe man was terrifyingly tall, and Wang Erhu had never seen anyone so big and strong, looking like a bear. He couldn’t make out the man’s face, but the inherent intimidating aura made him too scared to even utter a sound.uuPEJNOfDSLRBizojTeWSUCAEmeWFt
kdrqorRuqvtmxZs“Dad,” Yue Siming called out, stretching his little arms towards Yue Yinggui.AOAKjNpdejvUbuwBWmlQmCRaxHzniu
SaqNlKsgsaoTPwIYue Yinggui picked him up effortlessly. “Son, what’s wrong? Who is this child? Why is there a child in the mansion? And why is your face so red?”DCDBDIiphtGzIZGjKlIpKWeycSdrQS
BWJngdLDMvjJWyGYue Siming turned to look at Wang Erhu and gave him an evil smile.jPGhNjmYyiVTRYDRDYgdXJirEzryrp
XyCAcjazzPUKyEKWang Erhu shivered and, despite wanting to cry, managed a weak grin.nBmdyaKgzntYwORRzchtQROiIrUDlY
uHTtpQFLQqBrmjSYue Yinggui frowned and said softly, “Stop crying; it’s really loud.”ROiOhzxrlmtoxbBYRcTVlZcpUclUhC
DqnavWuieQHNttiThe child immediately stopped crying and knelt before Yue Yinggui, saying, “General, don’t cut off my head!”DSxECMqSZyaLKAfZLTskTFevxyOqnp
eutCqQoXqmHbTSqYue Yinggui was confused. “Who wants to cut off your head?”GDYhBtUSgGFPsZjCjbDEYkwFDOQkXE
DJHfjRJRvwQYFgs“Don’t feed me to the big wolfdog, I want my mom—”ihGhcRaVuaGowsMMEUNjRiXOFeMufw
ZiDCKQTCHkSdvsYYue Yinggui felt a bit of amusement. “We won’t feed you to the big wolfdog. Whose child are you? How did you end up here? I don’t remember any children in the mansion.”xlzhjFyXppDvMfxNjLtQkTwsbJxsrt
zsjxpNXtdGdMEeSYue Siming wrapped his lotus-like little arms around Yue Yinggui’s neck and whispered in his ear, “Dad.”JYmZhroZErVHbqVNfMGSAHQsWSbmmu
QrijiDDWJKCCRejYue Yinggui was surprised. “Is that so?”EwubscwCyaUWhBzZBGSWtltIuGAwsL
lEtHeSysMdGStQDYue Siming pouted and nodded, continuing to whisper.qgBzxUsryUphHLWyETewFZCbSyjdUC
fNzpWlouyiaReDhAfter listening for a while, Yue Yinggui hesitated and said, “Siming, this might not be appropriate. The child has parents too…”LsaflSdCNwQVmRmopxvmxtXvZnAiaS
smwgkKzSwbFaFCqYue Siming had completely changed from his previous little bully image, now looking like a little golden boy with his bright, shiny eyes and clinging to his father’s neck, coquettishly saying, “Dad, I’m so bored. You won’t let me go outside. Dad, please.”BWNANsjYIBdJEByiUJEdfJOjsDXbsK
cFrvzeVfEPnjvxDYue Yinggui frowned, thinking about how his son was at an age when he liked to play, and not having any children of his own age around made him a bit lonely.oIExPQjQZKrTaZhbFKVVDhhWjndZqS
SpTXRrtnKFYvSVQ“Dad, please. I promise I’ll be good and take my medicine in the future.” Yue Siming rubbed his face against Yue Yinggui’s beard. Yue Siming was so delicate and beautiful that his coquettish behavior was enough to make one’s heart melt. Unfortunately, aside from Old Yue, none of the adults or children present were moved, only sweating coldly.wLDekgKGvBmPBEDOIqueQaAClinopP
SIJUHZcueVuDbJDYue Yinggui looked at his son and felt a surge of joy in his heart.FIHZPHWpnQHmerqDMSHOjHDslTnntg
rFlgLvpNAxqJIwvHaving a child in his old age, and after so much effort, he finally had a son. With his poor health, the child was like his own heart, and he naturally protected him closely. The child rarely asked for anything, and seeing him act so coquettish, which father could resist?cXtwKuKLSvMwyNVpaIOHjtHtdGITHu
yMhaSDEaemFtHlQYue Yinggui looked at the child sitting on the ground.FeSLXHAsAxtmaXcuVlLxTUftYojecV
uwEuyljoMsWotdqHe looked to be about the same age as his son, clearly a country child with a slightly tanned complexion, a pair of distinct black-and-white eyes, a round face, and a somewhat naive appearance. He was quite cute but looked a bit slow-witted. Nonetheless, as long as he served as a playmate for his son and liked him, it was fine.ZLhvrctUbpwMmYHJiSObeoRWItrZyA
hMBmGdhHLwYZKKRYue Yinggui smiled at his son and said, “Dad agrees, but first, let me discuss this child’s background.”XXWMfAoKOjEhFnyOckgBBdmGUlBRGG
BdyNRUbJOyusgplYue Siming’s beautiful face lit up with a wide smile. He gave his father a loud kiss on the cheek and then giggled happily.OjWBZuXyflcemFamPSlzBkknSTHvFI
TEwMUdZsfCLJetwWang Erhu stared blankly at their interactions, not knowing how his fate had been altered. However, when Yue Siming turned around and flashed him a wicked smile, his bright white teeth made Wang Erhu’s eyes ache.SyvmqdRfUsxZjPiSsBIJJjFlhyEuvt
PCracLrbRqikkaeThat day was a bit chaotic.mZPhAvAuObBLzhWPCzXnaqomvxpiGL
HvUspRvdRVyZQITHe was hauled back to his home by a strange man. The man then went inside and talked with his parents for a long time. Afterward, his parents, beaming with joy, bowed and smiled as they saw the man off. They then excitedly told him that General Yue’s son wanted him to be a companion reader, and they had already accepted the deposit—this was a windfall from heaven.CtzvhMoYQbXmksfyctAUmWHXtalEKF
ZLKdWEfiOWEgxjGWang Erhu was stunned by this stroke of luck from the heavens. No one gave him a chance to resist, and he was crying and wiping his tears as he was dragged back to the general’s residence that very day.EVqIcxRqshHmHqWDwXGQeKSvojnAgQ
RONFJhIbHBMZMWaWhen he saw Yue Siming again, it felt oddly familiar. The young master was holding a thick, black wooden stick, standing with his hands on his hips, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth, and glaring at him with a sinister expression.QBQSPJdwOVgCnEVjruKEnWoXHyMesT
