Xiu Ying had gone through the same things in her previous life, so she was exceptionally sensitive to the change in people's emotions.

Shen Jun smiled, but before he could say anything, she already sensed his dislike towards her.

She was slightly startled and raised her head to look at the youth's face. Sure enough, she saw that his phoenix eyes were cold and his expression extremely indifferent, carrying a sense of distance.

"..." "Third uncle." She started to feel uneasy, as if she had done something wrong.

But she clearly didn't do anything wrong.

Third uncle had always taught her, and they always made clear the difference between grudges and favors. Now that their grievances had been resolved and their debts repaid, the two of them would be completely reconciled.

The girl's timid voice was similar to a kitten's. It was soft, and the eyes she used to look at people were also innocent.

Shen Jun took a deep breath and closed his eyes, "Reason."

Reason?

What reason?

"Oh …" Xiu Ying paused for a moment before she understood what he meant. She hurriedly explained her thoughts.

"The difference between kindness and hatred, is it clear?" The youth's slightly hoarse voice sounded.

Xiu Ying nodded seriously. She turned her head and shrunk back, as if she was afraid of being reprimanded.

Shen Jun laughed as he stood up, touching the top of her hair under her intense gaze. "That's how it should be." Then, he walked out.

Xiu Ying sat in the chair, her head tilted as she saw him walk out the door. She then called for the Four Treasures, her eyes filled with doubt.

Since this was the case, why did she notice that her third uncle wasn't too happy?

Since it was right, why was Third Uncle unhappy?

Xiu Ying couldn't figure it out.

Actually, it wasn't only Xiu Ying who didn't understand, Shen Jun Xiao also didn't understand where his sudden anger came from.

The strangeness of it all made him uneasy.

It was rare for him to lose control of his emotions, especially when he couldn't find the reason for it.

After Shen gave the instructions to the fourth treasure, he didn't feel much better. He stood at the foot of the veranda, looking at the green bamboo groves in the distant courtyard. The bamboo grove was densely packed, and even the afternoon sun could not penetrate it. The reflection on the ground revealed a large area. He then stared at the cold shadow for an unknown period of time. Finally, his mood calmed down.

When he withdrew his gaze, he found that there was a short shadow beside him. He turned his head, and he didn't know when, but the little girl was standing behind him. She had a pair of clear almond-shaped eyes, and was looking at him worriedly.

When his eyes fell upon her round and exquisite face, Shen Jun's smile was finally replaced by a calmness. His shoulders, which had been tensed up all this time, relaxed as well. He smiled as he patted her head.

"It's not that hot standing here?"

"Third uncle, what's wrong?"

The little girl was really worried.

Shen Junxiao had no answer to her question, he only smiled and said, "Third uncle is thinking of something else."

Xiu Ying replied with an 'oh', but obediently stopped asking, and instead pulled on Shen Jun's sleeve, letting him enter the house.

The two of them sat down for a cup of tea as Du Yicheng followed Sibao.

Xiu Ying looked at the youngster who had turned around and raised his eyebrows. This book was copied rather quickly.

When Du Yicheng heard that Shen Junxiao wanted him to stay for a meal, he didn't want to come. However, when he thought about how he was beaten up to the point where he almost couldn't get up, he was afraid that he wouldn't make others feel terrified. He could only grit his teeth.

Unexpectedly, when he was on the veranda, he saw Xiu Ying and the young man sitting by the window. If he hadn't seen that young man pinch plum and feed it to that little girl, he probably would have been even happier. Why was he so much like that little girl?!

Du Yicheng felt indignant and infuriated in his heart. However, as soon as he entered the room, he felt that his skin had tightened upon seeing that young man after being beaten up. He saluted respectfully.

Xiu Ying felt that there was something amiss between Du Yicheng and her third uncle, but she couldn't tell what it was. She swung her short legs off the chair and greeted him with a neat gift.

Du Yicheng was flabbergasted by her actions, and even took a step back.

"Young Master Du." Xiu Ying resisted the urge to roll her eyes, silently wondering if she was a flood or a fierce beast.

If she knew that a mere gift could scare him to such an extent, she would have immediately bowed to him!

"Shen …" "Little sister Shen …" It was rare for Du Yicheng to not call that chubby little girl. However, when he said that, not only did he stutter, he even blushed.

He secretly clenched his fists. How could his heart beat so fast?

Shen Jun laughed as he noticed the abnormality of the young man. His eyes darkened as he cast a cold glance in his direction.

Xiu Ying also felt that he was strange, but she still said what she needed to say. She said, "I am here to thank Young Master Du for helping out yesterday at the academy."

Du Yicheng didn't expect that Xiu Ying would come to thank him. His lips trembled for a moment, but he didn't say anything for a long time. At this time, the Fourth Treasure had already set up a table for lunch. Shen Jun smilingly stood up, placing a hand on Du Yicheng's shoulder, before 'taking' them to the main hall for lunch.

From Yu Ying's perspective, she saw her third uncle intimately hug Xiao Ba's shoulder.

She was surprised and confused. When did her third uncle have such a good relationship with that little tyrant?

Was it because the little overlord went to the Song Family yesterday to clarify things?!

Every year, strange things happened, but this year, there were many strange things that happened. Xiu Ying, who had been clueless for a long time, could only conclude this.

However, only Du Yicheng himself knew the full extent of the strength behind Shen Junxiao's pinch. He suspected that the other party was trying to break his shoulder blades with his bare hands.

Du Yicheng used this bowl of rice as a form of thank you to the point where it was practically tasteless.

He wasn't stupid. As soon as he sat down and thought about it, he understood why Xiu Ying had done what she had done. After all, he wasn't happy to part with her.

After the meal, Shen Jun smiled and told Du Yicheng to make some tea.

Since he had learned it before, he might as well remember this as well. Du Yicheng's tea brewing was excellent, and it was rare for Shen Junxiao to not make things difficult for him.

When it was time to take his leave, Du Yicheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke up, "Little sister Shen, may I trouble you to escort me to the entrance of the courtyard?"

Xiu Ying subconsciously looked at Shen Jun's smile and saw that his lips were tightly pressed together. Du Yicheng seemed to be able to see through her thoughts. He then turned to Shen Jun and smiled, "This place is the territory of Shen San. Could it be that you're still afraid that I would do something like this?"

"It's not that I'm afraid, but you wouldn't dare either." Shen Junxiao did not mind his provocation.

Hearing this, Xiu Ying gestured a 'please' to Du Yicheng, and the two of them walked out of the study.

When they were walking into the courtyard, Du Yicheng turned around and saw the youth by the window. With a cluck of his tongue, he opened his mouth and said, "Shen Ying."

The little girl turned her head to look at him.

He said, "Your Third Uncle said I'm not good enough for you, and you don't want to climb into our house."

Xiu Ying, "…"

No one had told him to say such a shameful thing to a girl.

Du Yicheng continued, "One day, I will prove that I am worthy enough for you. As for those who can reach a higher level than me …" As he said this, he paused again, looking at her with a gaze that was as hot as the sun at noon, "I don't mind, but I'll also make sure that others won't dare to think this way about you!"

After finishing his sentence, the young boy walked out of the courtyard in large strides without looking back. He, as a manservant, was chasing after him while stumbling and stumbling.

Xiu Ying froze in place for a long time.

This... Had she been confessed to by a little kid?!

Her face is hot... Kids these days, what are they not worthy of knowing at this early of a time?!

This day was too exciting for Yu Ying.
