Speaking of speech and conduct, Gu Chengfeng was actually not as good as his younger brother Gu Chenglin. Gu Chenglin might be a spoiled brat at home, but his manners outside were very fitting of a n.o.ble young master.

Today, if it had been Gu Chenglin who was slapped by a girl, he probably would have blushed down to his neck and said nothing.

Gu Changqing did not say anything else. Gu Chengfeng could suit himself if he wanted to follow.

There was no longer a problem with Gu Yan's body and he had moved back from Old Chief’s place, except that he still didn’t go to Qinghe Academy for the time being, nor did he make trips to Nan Xiang and Master Lu’s place to learn craftsmans.h.i.+p.

Gu Jiao and others were not there, except Little Jing Kong who had returned from the Imperial Academy and was carefully watering the vegetable garden in the front yard with his own bucket in one hand and his own ladle in the other.

Once he was done watering, he would move the chickens in the small vegetable field to catch worms.

Hearing the sound of the gate being pushed open, Little Jing Kong stopped watering, turned his head and exclaimed excitedly, "Big brother, you have come!"

"Jing Kong." Gu Changqing nodded his head and crossed the threshold.

Gu Chengfeng also came in.

He had not been to Bishui Alley many times, and among those times, what he remembered most was being drugged and thrown to the bed, then witnessing a b.l.o.o.d.y and gruesome operation.

To this day he still couldn’t eat meat.

"Eh? This brother has come as well." Little Jing Kong had seen Gu Chengfeng in the medical hall, but he didn’t know the other person’s name so he just called him brother.

It was the professional ethics of every physician not to inquire into the patient's privacy.

JiaoJiao was a physician, and he was also a little physician!

He even managed to save a handsome uncle!

Gu Chengfeng let out an ‘oh’ and looked at the little guy who had shaved Gu Chenglin into a yin-yang head. In fact, a little shadow still remained in his heart.

But there was no denying that this little guy was really beautiful.

"Let me help you." Gu Changqing said to Little Jing Kong.

Little Jing Kong thought for a moment then replied, "Okay... Here you go."

JiaoJiao said, sometimes accepting a person’s help wasn’t about needing their help, but rather because you liked them!

He liked big brother!

Half the vegetable field had not been watered yet but the water in the small wooden bucket was almost used up, thus Gu Changqing went to the backyard to fetch water.

Before he went, he first handed Little Jing Kong the gift he had brought for them.

Little Jing Kong, holding a big bundle in his arms, looked at Gu Chengfeng with his head tilted on one side.

Gu Chengfeng was embarra.s.sed and somewhat reluctant as he rubbed the bridge of his nose and said to him, "Let me help you too! Is there more work to be done?"

Little Jing Kong nodded. With his eyes sparkling, his finger pointed somewhere, "There is another small bucket there!"

Little Jing Kong led Gu Chengfeng to where another small bucket was, and then his good-looking face suddenly turned black.

How come his eldest brother was carrying water but when it was his turn, it was to carry s.h.i.+t!

Gu Chengfeng resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "What are you picking this thing for?"

Little Jing Kong said earnestly, "For fertilizer! The better the fertilizer, the better the vegetables!"

And the criterion for good fertilizer was...

Gu Chengfeng dared not think any further.

He was unable to eat meat already, could it be that he would be unable to eat vegetables from now on too?

What grudge did this household in Bishui Alley have against him?

Next time, he might not even be able to drink water!

It was him who offered to help the little monk, so he had to help him even though he wanted to cry~

Wu~

Gu Chengfeng, a precious young master, finally realized what it meant to live a life worse than death.

Gu Changqing went to Gu Yan's room afterwards.

Gu Yan had just woken up from sleep at this moment and was sitting in a daze by the window, a short lock of his hair was restlessly sticking up on top of his head.

Perhaps because it rained at night that today's weather wasn’t so hot and there was even a cool breeze, which was very comfortable for Gu Changqing.

For Gu Yan, however, it was a little cold.

He sat there in thin clothes, and at first glance he looked like a helpless little boy.

In fact, a certain baby was really just in the process of sobering up from sleep...

However, in Gu Changqing's eyes, he looked sad about something.

Was it because of Tang Ming?

Or him?

Gu Changqing couldn’t be certain, he only knew that there was a layer of apprehension in the bottom of his heart. He wanted to go over and put a coat on him, yet he was also worried that he would hate him and would not want to see him.

"You’re here."

It was Yao s.h.i.+'s voice.

Yao s.h.i.+ had just gone to the kitchen to make a plate of snacks for Gu Yan. She hadn’t seen Gu Chengfeng who was being treated as a slave by Little Jing Kong in the front yard, and Gu Changqing's appearance didn’t surprise her.

"I heard there was an incident at the military camp. Are you all right?" Yao s.h.i.+ asked.

This was the first time that she, as a stepmother, openly cared about Gu Changqing since he grew up.

When she married into the Marquis Ding’an Estate, she naively thought she would be able to raise the three children, even if it wasn't what she wanted.

Having already married, she didn’t want to run away.

But the outcome was predictable.

"I'm fine." Gu Changqing replied politely.

At the sound of his voice, Gu Yan finally had a reaction. He subconsciously turned around to his direction.

Gu Changqing noticed his movement and looked towards him, as if to see his expression, but it was unknown whether Gu Yan suddenly remembered something or whatnot as he turned his head back halfway.

Gu Changqing felt a sense of loss.

Yao s.h.i.+ looked at Gu Yan, lowered her eyes and smiled, then she handed Gu Changqing the plate of snacks. "It just occurred to me that I still have a dress to finish embroidering. Please take it to Yan’er for me.”

"Ah..." As Gu Changqing hesitated to refuse, Yao s.h.i.+ shoved the plate of snacks into his hands.

Looking at Yao s.h.i.+'s departing back, Gu Changqing suddenly thought that Yao s.h.i.+ might have had been a very gentle and understanding stepmother if he didn’t have so much prejudice against her and believe in the false rumors and slander of the people back then.

It was just that there was no way to repair his relations.h.i.+p with Yao s.h.i.+ to its ideal form now.

But as for his relations.h.i.+p with Gu Yan...

He squeezed his fingers tightly.

He didn't want to give up.

He knocked on the open door, “I'm coming in.”

Gu Yan was silent and simply moved his body away, silently expressing his resistance.

Gu Changqing came to his side and laid out a delicious pile of mung bean cakes in front of him, "It's still hot. Eat it while it's hot."

Gu Yan refused to eat the snacks.

Gu Changqing opened the closet, took a long coat and put it on him.

Gu Yan, however, grabbed the coat and threw it on the ground.

If it was just a feeling and a guess before, now Gu Changqing was almost certain that Gu Yan was angry with him.

He didn’t think he did anything to upset Gu Yan these days. If there was anything, then he might have offended Gu Yan with his disheveled appearance the night he was lured out of the military camp by the a.s.sa.s.sin.

But Gu Yan wasn’t such an unreasonable child.

Then...

Gu Changqing took a deep breath.

A guess that he didn't want to face or even think about crossed his mind.

"Do you..."

He closed his eyes and failed to get the words out in the end.

If time could rewind back, he would not refuse the child who secretly watched him practice swordsmans.h.i.+p from behind the tree, he wouldn’t deliberately throw away his bib, or be indifferent when he needed him most. He wouldn’t vent his father's anger on him, wouldn’t neglect him, wouldn’t hurt him, wouldn’t...
