After being reborn, I raised my childhood sweetheart.

Chapter 27 The young master is much more fun than toys! (Please read on, please vote with monthly tickets)

Xu Yuan certainly wouldn't help Xia Ke restrain herself, since passive delayed gratification couldn't cultivate strong self-control; Xia Ke had to personally experience the importance of self-control.

This time, Xu Yuan not only did not respond, but even left his room.

He left the delicious strawberry cake with Xia Ke in the room, while he went to the living room to wait for 2 o'clock.

I wonder how Yueyao is doing with her studies right now, and whether she can manage on her own.

To be honest, although what I did was nominally raising my childhood sweethearts, it was actually pretty much the same as being their father.

The education that their parents lacked was made up for by me, a reborn person.

Although it was hard work and there were many things to worry about, Xu Yuan felt a sense of enjoyment in it.

It seems raising a daughter isn't such a difficult thing after all!

A short while later, Xia Ke came out of the room.

She skipped and hopped with her hands behind her back, watching Xu Yuan with a smile on her face.

Then, she sat down next to Xu Yuan, arm to arm, still gazing at him with a smile in her eyes.

"what happened?"

Xia Ke shook her head and simply made a shushing gesture.

She kept rubbing against Xu Yuan's arm, like a clingy kitten.

She then leaned back and lay down, resting her head on Xu Yuan's lap, her neck drooping and her head lowered as she began to speak:

"Young Master, we're best friends, aren't we?"

"You're asking me that? Isn't Yueyao your best friend?"

"Yueyao is the best girlfriend, and you are the best boyfriend."

Xia Ke said, "Therefore, good friends should be very honest with each other."

……

Why are you suddenly telling me all this?

Does she think I'm hiding something from her?
This child... may not be as innocent as I imagined; perhaps he is quite perceptive?
Sometimes it really does feel like he can see right through things.

"Well then, let me tell you my honest opinion."

"Hmm...you go ahead."

Xu Yuan's expression was somewhat serious.

Xia Ke muttered, "Actually, I wanted to eat both the strawberry cake and the Black Forest cake, which is why I was prepared to hold back."

"But then I thought that Yueyao had never eaten such an expensive cake before, so I felt that I couldn't be so selfish and I should give this rare opportunity to Yueyao."

"So, I don't need the Black Forest cake, but could you share it with Yueyao?"

Xia Ke muttered, "She's never eaten it before, so she must really want to try it."

Ake, you are such a kind-hearted child...

Xu Yuan patted Xia Ke's head. "Okay, I promise you, I'll save that cake for Yue Yao."

Actually, Xu Yuan had already set aside a portion for Yue Yao. He would never neglect things like being fair, since they were all good friends, and showing favoritism would easily damage the foundation of their relationship.

"Then I can eat the rest of the strawberry cake, right?"

Xia Ke turned around and raised her head. Only then did Xu Yuan notice that there was white cream from the strawberry cake on the corner of her mouth and beads of sweat on her forehead.

"I think you're just saying that because you're so greedy!"

"Hehe, you caught me!" Xia Ke stuck out her tongue.

Xia Ke is clearly a child who is not good at self-control and is impulsive in doing things, but she is indeed very clever. Even if she does not do things well, she is not that annoying.

However, since Xia Ke lost the game, she naturally had to accept the punishment.

Xu Yuan's punishment for Xia Ke was to massage his shoulders. Although it was a job of ordering people around, Xia Ke enjoyed it.

She not only gave Xu Yuan a thorough back massage, but also imitated lines from TV shows, asking him if it hurt here or there, and whether he wanted it lighter or heavier.

She even massaged Xu Yuan for half an hour.

"If you had that kind of perseverance, you would have been eating Black Forest cake long ago!"

"I really wanted to save it for Yueyao to eat!"

After Xia Ke finished massaging herself, Xu Yuan began to guide Xia Ke on her homework.

It was Lin Yueyao's job to urge Xia Ke to study.

But now that she's attending extracurricular classes, and Xu Yuan had promised to discipline Xia Ke, he naturally took on that task and started helping Xia Ke with her homework.

He originally thought that helping Xia Ke with her homework would be a simple matter. After all, he could have a lot of fun playing with an eight-year-old, which proved that he was quite patient and childlike.

"Um……"

What are you doing, throwing away an eraser?

"The answer is the side the eraser lands on," Xia Ke said.

Xu Yuan looked speechless. "No... this question is a fill-in-the-blank question, not a multiple-choice question. Where did you see the options?"

A little while later, Xu Yuan saw Xia Ke struggling with a multiplication problem, and he started to worry too:

"You've already learned about multiples of 2, right? Two baskets, three apples on the left, three apples on the right, what's 2 x 3? Do you still need to count on your fingers?"

"You can't even do mental arithmetic? You can't even do 71+82?"

Xu Yuan initially thought he was a pretty patient person.

However, as the tutoring continued, his patience quickly wore thin.

"Xia Ke, you're already in second grade... With your current academic level, you'd be barely able to keep up even if you repeated first grade, right?"

"But there are also slow learners in second grade!" Xia Ke retorted, "Isn't homework useful precisely because you shouldn't be able to do it?"

"If you could do all of these things, then what would be the point of doing homework!"

Xia Ke said this with anger and grievance, her eyes brimming with tears, "And... Xu Yuan, are you even my good friend?!"

"Yes, of course, why ask that?"

"If you're my good friend, then don't talk to me like that!"

Xia Ke sobbed, "You...you should be gentler. When you speak so loudly, it makes me feel like you're yelling at me."

"I just... I just can't understand the things you're teaching me!"

“When Yueyao teaches me to do my homework, she never scolds me like you do…”

With her head drooping, eyes red, and lips biting pitifully, tears streamed down her face onto her notebook.

Xu Yuan was speechless after Xia Ke's words. Indeed, at this moment, he was unable to put himself in the shoes of an eight-year-old child to look at the problem.

At this moment, Xu Yuan looked at Xia Ke with tears in her eyes and suddenly hallucinated the youthful yet melancholy face of 16-year-old Xia Ke.

That girl who always observed the world with a cold indifference.

call……

I acted too hastily.

Xu Yuan took a deep breath and gently patted Xia Ke's shoulder:

"Okay, then stop writing for now."

Xu Yuan said, "You're not in the mood to write right now, do your homework later."

"No... I'm going to write!"

Xia Ke seemed to be sulking with Xu Yuan, staring at her workbook and counting arithmetic problems on her fingers.

"..."

After calculating for a while, Xia Ke put down her pen and wiped the snot that was about to drip into her mouth with her arm.

"Hey, you can't do this..."

Xu Yuan took out a tissue and helped Xia Ke wipe her nose.

Xia Ke kept her head down. Xu Yuan wiped a little, and she deliberately blew her nose again, then stared at Xu Yuan's reaction.

Now Xu Yuan finally understood why Lin Yueyao had become Xia Ke's best friend.

Xia Ke is a very nice person when she's in a good mood and quite likable, but she can be very stubborn when she gets angry.

If it weren't for Lin Yueyao's patient and gentle nature, most people really wouldn't be able to stand her.

After all, I, Xu Yuan, am not aiming to be an ordinary person.

"Fine, fine, you're deliberately trying to annoy me, aren't you!"

Faced with Xia Ke's unreasonable behavior, Xu Yuanping lay flat on the sofa, in a relaxed, lounging position.

Then, Xu Yuan deliberately muttered in a wronged tone, "Then you might as well just make me die of anger, so you can inherit all my assets and take all my treasured toys!"

"Hmph, I don't care about your toys!"

Although Xia Ke was still a little upset, Xu Yuan noticed her pouting smile, so he took her hand and pulled her closer to him.
"What, do you think my toys aren't fun enough?"

Xia Ke didn't want to meet Xu Yuan's gaze, but instead lowered her head and hummed, "Because...because the young master is much more fun than toys!"

"You know I'm fun, yet you don't come and greet me? You have no self-awareness at all."

Xu Yuan pressed Xia Ke down on the sofa, breathed on his palm, then reached under Xia Ke's armpit and deliberately began to threaten in a deep voice:

"It seems necessary to make you understand who your young master really is!"

"Ha...hahaha—Young Master, no—no!"

Xu Yuan kept tickling Xia Ke, and Xia Ke finally stopped crying and started laughing. While trying to escape Xu Yuan's teasing, she laughed and begged for mercy.

"I can spare you, but you can be spared the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment. You'd better serve me well."

"it is good!"

So, Xu Yuan asked Xia Ke to massage his thighs again.

Xia Ke only showed the most enthusiasm when serving Xu Yuan.

Innate Maid's Sacred Body!

What a strange child.

Therefore, Xu Yuan agreed to Xia Ke's request and provided her with another option for delayed gratification—

As long as she worked hard to finish her homework, Xu Yuan would allow her to massage his shoulders and back, and serve him tea and water.

Xia Ke accepted this readily.

Therefore, Xu Yuan stopped following up on her homework in real time. He would only explain it to her when she really couldn't figure out how to do it.

At this point, Xu Yuan no longer looked down on Xia Ke for being slow, and he spoke slowly, word by word. As long as Xu Yuan's tone was gentle enough, Xia Ke was willing to listen attentively.

Not long after, Lin Yueyao returned from her extracurricular class. Seeing Xia Ke proudly showing off how well she had completed her homework, Lin Yueyao was also shocked:
"Xu Yuan, you made her do so much homework in half a day, that's amazing!"

Xu Yuan tilted his head. "Is this considered impressive?"

Lin Yueyao nodded and whispered to Xu Yuan, "She always makes sure to stay home until the last night to finish her homework because she really dislikes doing it."

It turned out to be like this...

So, does that mean Xia Ke actually gave me a lot of face today?

　Data from the trial period is very important, so as always, keep reading to the end~ I'm asking for all the data. Also, does anyone want a reader group? I haven't had one for a long time.
