Chapter 16: I Heard You Went to School?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiaodong was especially beaten up today. After wailing for a while, he finally saw his younger sister return.

“Father, Mother, Sister’s is back!”

Su Changsheng looked at the door and saw his daughter standing at the door with a basket, looking afraid.

He hurried forward and snatched the basket from her hand. His voice was grave.

“Did you go up the mountain alone again?”

Su Ling quickly shook her head and pointed at the person beside her.

“I went with Zhao Yan!”

Su Changsheng looked at the young guy beside him. He looked fair and unfamiliar. He must be the person who was bound to his daughter by fate.

He did not shoo him away, just looked at him.

“Your name is Zhao Yan?”

The young guy nodded.

Su Changsheng continued to ask, “How old are you? Where did you come from?”

The young guy looked at him, neither servile nor overbearing. “10 years old, I came from a neighboring country.”

Seeing him like this, Su Changsheng did not continue asking.

He would not understand any of the finer details as a child.

Just looking at him and then looking at his 11-year-old youngest son who only knew how to run around all the time gave him a headache.

“I heard you went to school?”

“Yes, I went to school for a few years. I can read a bit.”

Su Changsheng nodded and had a plan.

“When autumn comes, the village fortune-teller will start school. You, Girl and Xiaodong can go together then.”

Still the young man nodded.

Seeing that he did not look like a bad child, Su Changsheng let down his guard.

“Have dinner at my place. Girl’s mother has already prepared everything.”

The young guy quickly shook his head, but he was already pulled in first.

While eating, he felt the entire Su family sizing him up. He did not say anything and continued eating his porridge.

Seeing that he was only eating porridge, Su Changsheng placed some food in his bowl.

“Don’t just eat porridge. Eat some pickles. Girl’s mother made them. They taste great.”

Zhao Yan picked up some porridge and ate it together. When he looked up, he saw that everyone was looking at him.

He was not used to such a scene. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Su Ling ask him expectantly.

“Is it delicious? Is it delicious? My mother’s food is delicious!”

The young man nodded. “It’s delicious.”

When Xu Fengqiao heard his answer, the wariness on her face was lessened.

He was still a child. Maybe she was really overthinking things.

After dinner, Su Ling and her brothers took a breather in the courtyard and listened to Xiaodong talk about how badly he had been beaten up today.

Zhao Yan was nowhere to be seen. Su Ling turned around and did not see him. Just as she was about to ask her eldest brother, she saw him and that aunt suddenly coming over from the next door.

He was holding a small plate in his hand. Su Ling stared at it until he walked up to her.

He extended his hand to her, and Su Ling’s eyes lit up.

“It’s candy!”

The young guy nodded and gave her one, then shared the rest with her three brothers.

Then, he handed the small plate in his hand to Su Changsheng.

Su Changsheng looked at the pastry on the plate and was about to refuse when he heard the woman beside him speak.

“Brother Su, my child told me that you asked him to stay for dinner. I saw that he was very happy. I made this pastry myself. How about you try it?”

When Su Changsheng heard this, he could not refuse. He first distributed the pastry to the children, then to Xu Fengqiao. He only had a little left.

He tasted it. It was fragrant and sweet.

At this moment, Su Ling was ridiculously happy. She placed the candy in her pocket and took a small bite of the pastry.

A second later, the girl’s eyes crinkled in a smile.

“It’s so delicious!”
