As soon as those words were spoken, Mu Qing glanced at Wen ZhiChu with tears in her eyes and said with a sob: “Actually, I know.”
Wen ZhiChu was shocked: “How…how do you know?”
Mu Qing: “Because I have eyes.”
Skycat Genie: [……]
History is always shockingly similar.
[System: So what does this mean for you?]
“Repeating the same mistake twice……”
Seeing Mu Qing’s tears falling even harder, Wen ZhiChu hastily waved his hands: “No, that’s not….that’s not what I mean.”
For a second, he didn’t know what to do, so he had no choice but to spill all of his humiliating stories one by one, hoping to rival the other’s experience.
However, after saying a few, Wen ZhiChu actually started to feel somewhat flustered and ashamed as well.
Wen ZhiChu with an alarmed face: “I actually have so many humiliating stories.”
[It’s always been there, you just never noticed it. This really can’t be helped.]
Wen ZhiChu: ?
[System: It’s second nature for you after all.]
“……”
Wen ZhiChu felt as if he was choked by fate. For a second, the two people stood frozen in place, the aftermath of a large-scale mental breakdown.
After two minutes, Mu Qing stopped crying and on the contrary, started to comfort Wen ZhiChu in return.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Wen ZhiChu turned his head and looked at her. Seeing that she had stopped crying, he stammered and said with a smile: “You…you’re not feeling sad anymore?”
“En.” Mu Qing sniffled. Looking at him, she said somewhat awkwardly: “Feels like compared to you, my issues aren’t really anything.”
The smile disappeared from his face.
Mu Qing said sincerely: “However, thank you, really.”
Wen ZhiChu had disregarded his reputation to buy things for her. This was really something she never imagined. When he did that, Wen ZhiChu was practically a savior to her. If he wasn’t here, she wouldn’t even know how to return home today.
The change in the other’s personality was even more than she had imagined. She also never imagined the other would use his past to comfort her.
With gratitude in her heart, Mu Qing: “Thank you for comforting me. After hearing your stories, I’m much better.”
With a numb expression on his face, Wen ZhiChu waved his hand: “It’s…it’s nothing.”
[System: Fighting poison with poison is actually pretty useful.]
Wen ZhiChu: “This is a concept that I discovered in my youth.”
[System: What concept?]
Wen ZhiChu: “Happiness is built on someone else’s pain.”
[…….]
Such real life skills.

After the whole incident, the one-hour free time was pretty much used up. Wen ZhiChu and Mu Qing hastily rushed to the coach bus parked on the northside of District 6’s gates.

At this time, a female student in his class said: “Teacher, he said there’s no need to wait for him. He went home with family.”
“Alright then, we can depart.”
Because it was already 5pm when the debate tournament ended, by the time they returned to their home city, it was already 7pm. Good thing it was summer. There was still a bit of light out at 7pm.
Mu Qing returned Wen ZhiChu’s school uniform back to him.
Wen ZhiChu was startled: “You…you don’t need it anymore?”
Mu Qing said with a smile: “I… I can use my bookbag as a cover.”
Mu Qing has been very careful this entire time, so Wen ZhiChu’s uniform was not soiled.
After the two people said goodbye, Wen ZhiChu rushed home carrying the bookbag on his back.
Climbing to the 3rd floor, he knocked on the door. A 60+ year old grandpa opened the door.
Wen ZhiChu hastily took out the loudspeaker from his bookbag: “Grandpa…thank you.”
The grandpa smiled, saying: “No problem and also thank you for helping me throw away my garbage last time.”
The so-called reciprocity.
Because at night, he had to attend a group dinner in the neighboring city, by the time Qin JiaShu returned home, it was already past 10pm.
As soon as he entered the door to his home, he heard a noisy cry, like a pig was being slaughtered.
Switching his shoes at the entrance hall, Qin JiaShu pretended to hear nothing.
“Ahhhhhhhh, I want papa and mama. I want…… wuuwuuwuu not going to sleep.”
“Why aren’t they back? Do they not want XiaoHe anymore ahhhhhhhhh……”
“XiaoHe is a little white cabbage, little white cabbage!!!!”
It was very noisy on the 2nd floor, however, Qin JiaShu didn’t seem bothered at all. Calm and composed, he went to drink a cup of water before finally walking upstairs.
Originally, he thought the little guy was only creating a ruckus inside the kid’s room on the second floor. Unexpectedly, when he turned the corner, he ran into the piglet, who was crying his heart and lungs out.
Qin JiaShu: ……
After seeing his older brother, the originally uncontrollably wailing Qin JiaHe stopped his tears, as if his big brother worked better than all the lollipops in the world.
Seeing Qin JiaShu, the servants grouped up to the side looked as if they saw their savior. A hopeful light appeared in their eyes: “Big young master, you’re back!”
With his polite mask, Qin JiaShu said with a smile: “En.”
The aunty carrying Qin JiaHe bounced him in her arms slightly: “XiaoHe, gege is back.”
Opening both eyes big and wide, Qin JiaHe stared unblinkingly at his older brother. After all, it’s been 2 days since Qin JiaShu went to the neighboring city to attend the debate tournament.
With big, wet eyes, Qin JiaHe: “Gege.”
Qin JiaShu’s eyelids twitched.
Sure enough, the next second he saw that piglet purse his lips and with an ‘ao’, he let out a pig wail.
Qin JiaShu: ……
The aunty carrying Qin JiaShu felt somewhat helpless and looked at Qin JiaShu awkwardly: “Big young master, how about you hold him for a bit? XiaoHe has already cried all night.”
With outsiders present, Qin JiaShu normally wouldn’t refuse. He accepted Qin JiaHe and held him with one hand.
The originally whining and groaning piglet instantly quieted down. He leaned his little face into his older brother’s shoulder, both eyes and nose bright red, looking very pitiful and miserable.
“Where are they?”
Hearing this, the servant hastily said: “Sir and Madam had a banquet to attend tonight. They left at 8pm. At that time, the little young master was sleeping so they thought he wouldn’t wake up tonight. Who would have known……”
Who would have known, he woke up to urinate…….
After waking up, he started to search for Papa Qin and Mama Qin. However, after making a huge circle around the house and finding no one, he started to cry loudly. Things spiraled out of control after that. No matter how they tried to coax him, it didn’t work, sending quite a few people into a momentary panic.
Fortunately, Qin JiaShu returned after being away for two days. Qin JiaHe was finally pacified successfully. Sure enough, blood relatives gave the most sense of security.
After hearing this, Qin JiaShu made a noise of acknowledgement and expressed his understanding. Seeing it was quite late, he said: “You guys can go get some rest.”
“But big young master……”
“It’s fine.”
Seeing that Qin JiaShu was fine by himself, the servants looked at each other and then finally walked downstairs one after another.
Then, they immediately started whispering to each other.
“Sure enough, it had to be big young master. Otherwise, who knows how we were going to spend tonight.”
“Big young master’s temper is always very good.”
“Compared to other wealthy kids, big young master is really soooo much better.”
The people working for the Qin family were usually capable and experienced veterans. It’s not like they haven’t worked for other powerful and wealthy families before, but amongst these families, Qin JiaShu was the only young master who still treated people with kindness and courtesy.
He was definitely much better, by who-knew-how much, than those 2nd generation youngsters, who only know how to show off in front of others and order people around at home. The main reason was because he respected everyone and didn’t see them as inferior because they were servants.
Qin JiaShu didn’t know how the servants thought about him in their hearts; after all, he didn’t really bother the servants at home.
Because he’s rarely at home.
After watching them leave, Qin JiaShu carried Qin JiaHe into the kid’s room and then placed the little guy in bed.
“Go to sleep.”
Qin Jiahe looked at his big brother and said pitifully: “Gege, what did you do yesterday?”
“Little kids should stop meddling in an adult’s business.”
Unexpectedly, the little guy held up four fingers: “Gege, XiaoHe is 4 years old already.”
“So?”
“I’m no longer a 3 years old little kid.”
“……”
With a cold face, Qin JiaShu picked up Qin JiaHe and threw him into the blankets without caring about the little guy’s opinion. Moving nimbly, he bundled the little guy up.
“Sleep by yourself. No more crying.”
Saying this, he turned to leave.
Seeing his older brother heading off, the little guy fussed: “Gege, are you not going to stay with XiaoHe?”
Qin JiaShu turned his head and gave him a glance: “Adults sleep alone.”
The white dumpling on the bed instantly stiffened.
The hole he dug himself, he had to jump in himself.
As Qin JiaShu planned to shut the lights, he saw Qin JiaHe raise his little arms and rub viciously at his little head.
Qin JiaShu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and asked with a hoarse voice: “What are you doing?”
Qin JiaHe, who had twisted into a big caterpillar on the bed, looked up at his big brother and said with a foolish-looking grin: “I want to comb my hair like an adult.”
Qin JiaShu said coldly: “No point.”
The little guy blinked his big eyes in confusion: ?
Qin JiaShu struck straight at the heart: “Adults don’t have hair.”
!
The next second, the servants who were originally resting on the first floor, clearly heard a pig screech, heart-piercing and resonating throughout the house.
Hastily rushing to the second floor, they saw Qin JiaHe’s entire little body plastered onto Qin JiaShu’s face, his hands with a death grip on his older brother’s hair.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I don’t want gege to have no hair!!!!”
Qin JiaShu: ……
Why did he have to open his mouth?.
The servants: !!!
Seeing this scene, plenty of people became dumbfounded. They hastily stepped forward, wanting to pull the little guy off of Qin JiaShu.
However, Qin JiaHe grabbed onto his older brother’s head tightly, meaty claws gripping into his older brother’s hair, refusing to let go, as if they were fused together.
The aunty, who took care of Qin JiaHe, hastily persuaded him to the side: “XiaoHe! XiaoHe, let go of your big brother already!!”
The piglet shook his head frantically: “No… no.. I don’t want gege to have no hair!! Gege can’t have no hair!!”
The servants tugged on Qin JiaHe. Qin JiaHe tugged on his big brother.
Qin JiaShu: ……
At this moment, in this entire house, he seems to be the only one suffering.
This human child’s worries all seem to originate from his older brother.
After learning his older brother was illiterate, Qin JiaHe questioned the kindergarten teachers every time he saw something with words, wanting to learn so he could return home to teach his older brother.
However, as soon as he gets home, he’d forget everything.
Now look, not only was Qin JiaShu illiterate, he was going to be bald.
The more the little guy thought about his older brother, the more he felt sorry for the other. Having a mental breakdown, he grabbed his older brother’s hair tightly as he screamed uncontrollably on top of his brother.
Seeing Qin JiaHe’s tight grip Qin JiaHe, the aunty frowned: “XiaoHe! XiaoHe! If you don’t let go, your big brother will really lose his hair!!”
Qin JiaHe was startled. The aunty seized the opportunity to grab the little guy and pull him off.
Immediately afterwards, the little guy looked at the hair in his meaty claws and then looked at his big brother.
Qin JiaHe sniffled: “hulu..”
Qin JiaShu: ……
