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

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.zlmuMEYwSwHIrRzdLpGiDtdkFEOsCP

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.”hNtIzWfQyyGvWvUxJQIhvcezeTsYzG

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

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

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

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.BeATTbjiVWJhOXVMPHlZKVxCQfAeyY

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

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

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

“Enough, enough.”ihsGBjVwcmZUcKxVXJXqTphxYeTgPW

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.”MZSSiIoUQsyCimasWuCKfggQpdaywq

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.hLrXNAmcHTthdjyUUvbBdiTVTFuNPC

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.WXaEHnmFoSlfIxWiazSRtSjPRvSgQx

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

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

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

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?jGmXvBgDFUnnAzoLgRqBNKftfbwARL

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

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

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

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

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.”mwmEEYtNOOHywzOyOnyRqKQPgfxoAn

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

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.”ruIOMTrLYeimuakEpHGMmxkARTTiqo

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

mgoqVxtCOOWvADp

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.FCncSMbcQLlUecmJUrYCURNsGPBmBY

OyzZWemQjITzsmh

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

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

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.”UPcBqogBUqlybpGyVnNjGMQxDQOGqC

“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.jTAEHgozharqjjZfGzKssRVpwrrxFx

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

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.UxEOlYQsDQpLrgVrwKXPxRyPqumUjI

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

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

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

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.gffAfyKRYFcIrNFVDqGZxoPMeDbdwo

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

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.tMvlSrkbcLhZdmMYkXyciSlHZCWSrF

One day, a new visitor arrived.mLZeapxbxmuYDfuJNxtUxKvdPBLLrs

tNKixYXEjLJIotl

The visitor was a tutor.BfFDWIVZhdqjEpFDUoqewVWadmBNjr

IZzFoLWktAocFvJ

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

muGuyYbdjfoUOFh

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.gTFyMubZnCPkdxfjSKASZeSernLttN

SvpGVqNnNpdVSun

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

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

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

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

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

SlOtlexfhDZjPsd

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.asPDvPrYlSZLpRaKQPLLjGYVkICxlW

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

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

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.OungAJiNbLXuylLjQyUppYTpqIHElA

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

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

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.”LpEnwYNuRqyyYzkFEprZBcdSSMGWwy

“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.LYfZFPFppsWYqwfRJjUZbUhYdcbMFp

“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.”ASXjPSnqOhqlkWrAeMLvNzIFHNcVay

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?”BjLRUyBGFhqiMGLAaRzpoWDCLxmGoH

mQhYShImuWeyGMM

“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.gtJcdTaZPGSinmHPtUGQkRcPnToqUD

agkeZxjfRMEwiOK

RBfJwHYIEESDAsz

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!”mnBnzrYXXEFNDAWNwsRaMPTjCuQsCa

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

mCnBqHUpzmpLVKb

“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.DqjLhiHxzmdegtLrElvPmJKhGDIBjl

HfOlWGtmArRTqfk

“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!”ghUAemimxwRryidlbnCDTBLkhNJbIH

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

“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.”aslTZChRkufgQdhgvwGkkfPoQJXaUi

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.XpEBcDzrZYoNoYzwFAUAyobcJXRfFF

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

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!!!!”bcdQnUEECxhgauLDrnaEObPxKpscaL

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.”icDjDSLOOaWuCkwHWzRQoJCyChMdmR

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.llUwgsUHlVDIJXSglxzCkXBQtyFKsx

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.OsPnAqFvhPORYnhkCtMUgmraUDfFXK

“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.”QXmaqLBngYQREihsANjCweGnwxwgKf

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.StwlxXeshYItHnVdbBRsUTnCFUYqXS

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.KlgavcwrfSkcWIgeKdVRvVmJlvtSve
