Chapter 5

The child then realized and remembered Yue Siming’s reddened eyes from earlier. Immediately feeling regretful, he knocked on his own head.cdvsHQWwrxcSSSBZsvFfyrJXILkwrt

He also jumped up and followed the young master into the room, watching Yue Siming sitting at the table with his back turned, playing with a teacup.vfZUOhLhhzvBqaMnUusduzRCBxAMDy

The child sat next to him, seeing his dejected expression. Feeling a bit guilty, he looked at him helplessly and finally reached out his dirty little hand to pat his head, saying, “Don’t be sad.”ahPqqwOhazQwNNONOmWIvXIYAXTCAW

Yue Siming gave him a disdainful look, “Your mother really had foresight when she named you—both silly and fierce.”koODieOXiStIiBcKPFDQjZhVTivrMP

The child was taken aback, “Are you scolding me? What did I do to you?”EMxvifQNxUGHElFbZxgrCExVpNBufF

When the child heard “dinner,” his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly followed behind Young Master Yue.kYPpYLtFxFYThzodQousXkQcUkcnDt

The young master led him into the dining hall, and sure enough, the table was filled with lunch.AcwwxNXnvTqPDnLguXTFpbHUvsJCLk

jFQTmAVUQhTZfsg

The child had never seen such a grand spread; it was incredibly sumptuous. Even during the village chief’s wedding, there hadn’t been such a display, leaving him stunned.iEmBzZadLXKAZUfAQLXldNtReMKRXP

Yue Siming, seeing the child’s greedy expression, almost laughed. He pointed to a chair and said, “Sit.”PAyxhkXmpASVqkJNHoUBwhpbNrcqjN

The child was eagerly waiting for that, practically jumping into the chair and sitting obediently, eyeing the chicken leg in front of him.OAvrLgiBaLCFgPTMkAyVgriieMcJWJ

A nearby maid stifled a laugh and served him a bowl of rice. “Xiao Hu, is this enough for you?”yGkOQTXmwyklyMCPkHMHxutftUJIzu

“Enough, enough.”ysTCtoWNTJGJXRYmJFsvopiTrnzRXg

Yue Siming also sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and put a piece of vegetable heart into his bowl. Then he looked up at the child, whose mouth was nearly watering onto the floor, and said, “Go ahead and eat.”jUeoVWIJCTobnrhgkYSPNTwrLaHnub

The child attacked the food like a starving tiger, using his chopsticks and not stopping his mouth. Soon, a small mountain of bones piled up in front of him.ZFgIygdQUGKyvRgfIfSXGpBRqvGgjN

Everyone around was stunned, not expecting a skinny five-year-old to eat so much, especially focused on the meat, as if he had never seen it before.ShCgQRujVwiulODrZRaTYJPLLsuwyZ

esdmNZKUSXOjJig

Yue Siming was so taken aback by the child’s eating that he forgot to move his own chopsticks.yKFLeWpDwjGBYEOayXQchPbYIkTTCL

Between shoveling food in, the child even called out to Yue Siming, “Young Master, eat, eat. It’s so good.”pODpgaPMfwcGiJGyesQaioavnriBlm

kLCNbgupruvknXO

Yue Siming hesitated for a moment and picked up a few pieces of meat.xWXyQxdwFLVpcXwDRJyGLdPbnQcerd

He usually didn’t like meat, finding it too greasy, but seeing the ravenous little beast on the opposite side, he was curious—was it really that good?khtBzHImPacqeXwNIhMHzaxHCWbVtk

After a few bites, he found it a bit greasy and stopped eating.crjRSjOOpmIMvnNlyQxQoTpSacXbxD

When Wang Erhu had eaten enough, his little belly was swollen and round, looking very satisfied.jHCxhTiICrkkVyTmZyrFumQpuwCUSD

He glanced at Yue Siming, who had hardly touched his food, and put down his chopsticks. “Why are you eating so little? Eat more.”rThNfRLrzmmtduejPYKIAxFcAKvRGe

“I’m full.”JFYzGhKrQvBoKdmIarjobzRARrJrWs

“Really, eat more. The food is so good. If I could eat like this every day, I’d definitely eat a lot.”dmKddVJrcniOTFdnuoZzfATHheIJDS

OsQDBGYhbzwfzTN

Yue Siming huffed, “Who cares, country bumpkin.”KzjjjwUWjYyBZgfZOfZCePGXaHmIKq

CUeMCzCnGNjdxMJ

Wang Erhu was displeased, “My mom says, ‘No matter how big the world is, eating is the most important.’ Look at you, so short and thin. My little sister is only three, and you’re about the same size as her. No real man eats just this little bit of cat food.”uBtuVuFBwAJtzyZCFNoYQiELQZIvpd

The young master was provoked, “You’re the one eating cat food, you’re the one eating cat food!”cPVVSuwoBnZXfCMdLcsMkDItUrcMRX

UWVbGShrOMaLwGc

Wang Erhu looked at the table full of food and felt it was such a waste, so he desperately encouraged him to eat, “Then eat up, eat more.”UIcdZgYTQUMFufZnuUkzsNYarUHEgV

MfInVPItXSDyhqf

Pushed by the child, the young master ate several pieces of meat and a good amount of the food. The servants watching were delighted.KKFQNwhRvwumZoUUNpHvoLIJiJdajM

UkNWQgjGHAYHPRN

Usually, no matter how they coaxed the young master, he wouldn’t eat more. This had caused the master to worry, wondering how the child would grow and stay healthy if he remained so picky and thin.AwgdFxRLLJAcPCwJCiTUkyGsHNUOaI

EKJnBqGjbfqqCbd

Unexpectedly, eating with a child naturally led to eating more. Why hadn’t they thought of this before?aEwGdmowfDGSjGAgQsiPtiAaqLtHwI

The consequence of eating so much for the first time was that he felt stuffed.baLbaWZAOwGcjXKHVrRIBUzuhwNUSc

Young Master Yue lay stiffly on the bed, his stomach feeling extremely full, too lazy to move.UGQVvfHrBQGnzBOCoccDkQJrtNudaR

“No, if they come, they’ll make a fuss and be busy for half the day. It’s annoying.”yUJuWfqPyyGbvDqAxmZmMgQziUXCKy

The child thought for a moment, “How about I rub your stomach?” He then sat up, placed his small hands on Yue’s stomach, and began to gently rub, “My mom says rubbing helps when you have a stomach ache.”SwjDVkLMTYfzEOpdAcBisGqLgZQkKg

Yue Siming gave him a glance, “Did you wash your hands?”JAyFFRgYSgvweuvFmMDfAGgaktCDqb

“Just sleep together. I’m not dirty, I washed my hands. Let’s sleep together.” Without waiting for Yue Siming’s response, the child directly lay beside him, laughing as he snuggled into the blanket.MLMQAiEPhqebpMkECeBPaGnrXRhdCF

At home, he shared a blanket with his older brother and sister. He thought that if they got along well, they should sleep together.AKpRzWdrldSaYqNBRzHXqIjyMPavOK

LYSVnmflDgtqPZs

Though Yue Siming had many flaws and a bad temper, he was actually quite nice. At least he had good food and they could play together, so he was determined to get along well with him.GYsBFOCpZTcrsfDZZuohwMdOTWwUes

The child was set on getting close to the young master, starting with sharing a blanket.hFWNgWKhJhyeXngQfyrxpHfYnpRZNA

Yue Siming, frustrated but unable to move him, had no choice but to let him stay close.gRbjhOTRQqvfXOGNzfoZcHgQcAFpzn

The child patted the young master’s stomach and murmured softly, “Sleep, sleep, you’ll feel better after a nap.”AcqihMYQOlJNNMsxmrkqsVWOByFvsf

Yue Siming pouted, swatted his hand away, turned his back, and ignored him.TotiogadUlrPVFDZRlXkARNDLObAeq

The child smiled slightly, then gently closed his eyes, enjoying the warm and leisurely afternoon.cXapSKEZdnJoqZvssqvovESlaMdFpz

A few days later, Wang Erhu gradually adapted to life in the Yue household and began to enjoy the carefree days with plenty of food, clothing, and play.GGvUhRFysZjmefRNkNkfHbHteyZGRP

NETdUvjKczNInOo

He ate and lived with Yue Siming every day, and they were inseparable.CnlWDNUeygBAeFmZrNkiumcomaPbgK

Whenever he was hungry, he ate delicious food; when tired, he slept; when he woke up, they played games together. This was how he envisioned his life continuing forever.qPdQwWQDBPyrNrqZtEFZBkQbYtoBsx

One day, a new visitor arrived.KkqdNJfwBCxAqqTIdlyTxQghYThXUb

LpvAMHFpLdYAPFs

The visitor was a tutor.olNClvZuOSHHXLbIpGFvBcwXavQrJV

FMBrOdBlJYownMx

The child then remembered that he was there to be a bookkeeper but had never seen Yue Siming study before.jdFiILfMpnuYUEqayjPZUKAoFuzYBD

wfYksizpGjgoMaY

In Wang Erhu’s area, several villages shared one tutor. Some children had to walk an hour or more every day to attend lessons. For them, a tutor was very sacred and solemn.cDJfqGRkRJEcWZcqahzowrZpCjykuN

cYVBhsEpIbymDaw

This was the child’s first chance to interact with a tutor face-to-face, and he felt a bit excited and curious.IhSagRiteNItjHGRvxdLNHfwKyiiwl

Yue Siming snorted, “Just a bunch of old fuddy-duddies. There’s nothing to look forward to.”MrxronYfTFLlMRpZqqrbDyjnIIUFdH

Wang Erhu said, “But you shouldn’t say that. My mother said we should respect scholars.”cVQadIrdiwFnKoMXVWLFMLdgioxolr

“When I was little, my mother taught me. She’s more learned than any tutor.”pZJGbkNuTMdnciHKbKYSVDuXqumFjX

Wang Erhu fell silent immediately. After spending time with Yue Siming, he had picked up on some of his taboos.CJAcPnaCcgEwWSteWEwuhvCpVhmPXu

egKxEfqlfBNCfWH

One of these was mentioning his mother. He had learned that his mother had passed away just over a year ago. Seeing Yue Siming’s eyes redden made him uncomfortable.MrDIsQvxVxBDaPmrxnNODnTCXqKoHd

iQevJgzxyTRskOQ

He quickly changed the subject, “But the tutor is already here, waiting outside.”cniubpbCaBtlfQGVvjfFOvypMkBJur

“Let him wait. The previous one left in frustration, too.”ZWazMYlIQiDUmXZHbkwDtuPhOWsjhw

Wang Erhu glanced at the door, feeling a bit guilty. How could he let such a sacred tutor wait?xhKGdbcrVCVXeSgriKQOQHmfdQOZsm

Yue Siming rolled his eyes. “Really, come here.”lyDDUeAiXKLOXEMFJVeMhogtSkeMqx

He hopped to the table, spread a piece of paper, and took up a brush to write a character in the center of the white paper.veyjtANqZcVtabJuflxegvoOUfrSGO

Wang Erhu sat beside him, curiously peering over. “Your writing is really nice…”NZXCbNZjmDpczDkfMSNUgTdCqvdeyB

QMUgaPPTqBzdbvw

“Of course,” Yue Siming said proudly. Compliments made him happier than praise from his father, and he became quite pleased with himself.GYZaFHAQRokGepBQfuFSZbGckWUklK

wXuJvbdAwXSrNvj

The child tilted his head and looked for a while, then hesitated, “But that’s not the character for ‘Hu,’ right? I don’t remember it looking like that.”cgLRKhhVkuHkPDAgLlDSqdPlZXbDQO

SkTuHzNQzgpdopu

“Why are you teaching me this?”hMDgSMFAiGUPjihhPTtbIqGhQUPmjY

“Of course, I’m your young master. How can you not even write my name?” He then added the characters “Si Ming” to the paper.PfhLQdsiBGseJVqWsZcPXgOHWRlXGC

lRIXAjJaeLVYiQm

“See? This is my name, Yue, Si, Ming. You need to learn to write these three characters first before I teach you your own name.”UgepZievJPXYgxOnSHTMliWeCBLNlb

bLHbKVFWjdoKwjg

The child’s face scrunched up like an unfolded quilt. “Your name… is so hard to write… So many strokes, who can remember all that?”adtByZepkcHcXSxWoFQObFlBZykvTr

QjdvLFSeOQMCeGH

“You’re being ridiculous. It’s just three characters. How can you not remember? Watch closely, I’ll write it again.” He then carefully wrote the three characters once more.HKOmfYwXFWpAXgLULXTGspXoBFTvBg

IniAJEqymyyIiQX

The child shook his head. “It’s too hard, too hard. It’s more difficult than my own name. Why did your father give you such a hard name to write?”cjPWASWMKsxEOoRcoBAUdXZXfWgPEv

fYwHOTEpUNdrMIw

Yue Siming was really frustrated and slapped the child’s head, shoving the brush into his hand. “Write! If you can’t remember it after one try, write it ten times. If you can’t remember it after ten, write it a hundred times, until you get it right!”GBrKTlXfRxSavnYYDfnbXhyoBdSazO

The child, looking dejected, said, “Young master, let’s play a game.”FBsdHrrorOttWTlMItEcGMbrluyQSD

“No games. You can only play when you remember it. You have to learn my name first. Write it now.”pCIAiiMLFLQQqTOUYLCsyobhCCRffn

The child had no choice but to clutch the brush and scribble on the paper.uUldZErFQHxUyMkMLFISEyVLZwOymW

tSJLGBIUlDPORCo

“You don’t even know how to hold a brush!” Yue Siming was exasperated, snatching the brush from him. “Look, hold it like this, your fingers need to be here.” After demonstrating, he put the brush back in the child’s hand. “Hold it properly. Yes, like this, with your fingers applying pressure here. Hold it right.” Yue Siming painstakingly adjusted the child’s little fingers to hold the brush properly. His focused and serious expression was like a painting, leaving Wang Erhu in awe.dRFdaTfyhCrTbLfCAcIpvTSbrnRRik

TApOAWwinUiIrQi

“From now on, hold the brush like this and remember it. Alright, write now,” the young master turned his head and saw the child staring blankly at him, becoming angry, “What are you looking at me for! Look at the characters and write!”cGcImDjiPkPlamSvuglSROYarRRfTs

The child, with a goofy smile, hesitated for a while before saying, “Young Master Yue, you’re really handsome.”RhclmVqlmFiVhJZyjmUZUStUSokJyl

Yue Siming was taken aback and then his face flushed red, his chubby cheeks like small apples, extremely cute.hOFxPghhcuDswPpuHNCCCsQoOFaZKt

Seeing Yue Siming’s blush made the child’s own cheeks burn, though he didn’t understand why.wlMKEAPKrsKuGuRuQsrqlNBCGgGzGs

He scratched his head. “Really, you’re really handsome…”XtUMBqGbIKPlvUjPHRURWoYABKuMHr

Yue Siming, feigning anger, said, “Are you an idiot? What are you saying… handsome… What’s it to you!”JBqOqSAUmpejVkLsMnrrVHVWeNFvte

CZFWwAilqvbaTeL

“Why wouldn’t it matter? I see you every day, and you’re so handsome. If I see you, then… then…” The child got stuck, unsure of what he wanted to say. After a while, he stammered, “So it matters to me because I see you.”TWjYTNaxRoYizcIXHWrbCGXutQpJbY

aeSAjAeFZoLFalh

Yue Siming shouted, “Who told you to look? You’re not allowed to look! No looking!” He covered Wang Erhu’s eyes with his small hand and instinctively touched his own face, which felt very hot.fCHFCvsjtFlObXfWQlKpGHMASATQII

SOyXTRmMkVWNqbF

Wang Erhu bravely pushed his hand away and, with sincere eyes, said, “Young Master Yue, you’re really handsome. Be my little wife.”YAFFpNquyNpqtjNxEfngFEpJUOpPTF

PDBznCWXwqoDiWm

Poor Yue Siming’s neck turned bright red, feeling like his head was about to overheat. Angrily and embarrassed, he shouted, “You… you’re a pig! Dirty, stupid, and ugly. Who would want to be your… Get out!!!!”UKCynhPBsUSrTSklPUgOdTpDbUoyiN

ANIFugAhlkrDjtX

Of course, the child didn’t leave. Instead, he had a satisfied expression, as if he had solved a difficult problem. “Young Master Yue, really, I’m serious. My mother always said I’m too dumb to find a wife. I don’t believe it. You be my little wife. I’ll tell my mother, and she’ll see that I’m not dumb.”qOfhjSLzfVQgdwBfHheFGtXUgQRpKa

eDVVtMRcJKQWscM

Yue Siming slammed his hand on the table, but it wasn’t steady, hitting the inkstone instead. The heavy inkstone didn’t move much, but his hand hurt from the impact, causing him to yelp. Ink splattered on both of them.cfASHCjjWXkKIIDYXCstgRFJqyWUKx

IpPLNrrcRBRPjZH

He had wanted to show his anger but ended up making a fool of himself. Yue Siming, in a mix of frustration and fury, shook his hand and glared fiercely at Wang Erhu.DFrUVGMUKAAvJexKCkwRMhdygFRFsQ

pKmvTIcPdDhTRKy

“Are you alright, Young Master Yue?” The child eagerly held Yue Siming’s hand and blew on it, “Blow on it, blow on it, it won’t hurt anymore.”DVnZWNCLcViyCLLLIuDIoOODvSwQSi

VDhzcwQQGySXvag

“Who needs you to blow on it! You’re a pig! Who would want to be your little wife? What are you even… you, you… you can’t even remember my name!”rdfInoaYkTnkzGMOnWKgFNDuAEmxzk

“Who said that if you remember, I’ll be your… I never said that!! Besides, you’re so stupid, it’s a wonder if you remember it!”AeNuYuqccbltLJQujjlhTfWUcQexWy

IAhoALvukdOCLOH

“Well, I’ll try hard. My mother said that to get a wife, I should work hard, at least two acres of land, and grow crops myself. It’s really tiring. During spring or harvest, my brother’s legs tremble with exhaustion. Compared to that, learning to write is much easier, so I might as well learn to write.”eIsmuCDzYmkSMiiHHpzGPoeHsODpxV

qzPPgsdxsGWUxyR

Yue Siming was so angry he felt like he might burst. He lifted the child’s shirt and rubbed ink all over his face. The child’s face immediately looked like a mess of ink blotches.gfqtUQvANtDQJqVYiieqywaiVJzTTX

jkDxXrtLJvUlhnk

After rubbing, Yue Siming jumped off his chair and, shouting angrily, stormed out, “I’ll feed you to a big wolfdog! Just wait! I’ll feed you to a big wolfdog!” He then slammed the door and ran out in a hurry.ZLMfXqXbytULiqcsOSfASFEkRAkPMd

mnLtFbhmgYUqrWM

The child stood there dazed for a while before murmuring, “If you don’t want to, fine. No need to feed me to a wolfdog. Mother was right, finding a wife really isn’t easy…”JZvWBTijmOdKzveEMCfDjUvziRqzWH
