The road is right under your feet

Yun Anle was stunned. When Wu Qingshuang said this, she was like a young girl full of longing and fighting spirit. Her face was illuminated by the sunlight, emitting a soft light, hot and dazzling.

"You want to protect the Wu Kingdom." Yun Anle's eyes were dark, as if they had lost focus, and his voice was flat and affirmative.

Perhaps it was because Yun Anle's tone was too indifferent and affirmative, which was not what he should have at his age, Wu Qingshuang couldn't help but take another look at him.

Yun Anle's eyes dimmed, and he squatted down as if he had lost interest, resting his chin on his knees, staring into the distance absentmindedly.

"I also have something I want to protect. It's just..."

"He doesn't seem to want me anymore..."

Wu Qingshuang opened her mouth, and when she realized who he was talking about, she felt uncomfortable. If she had known this, she would not have said anything more.

Now it was useless to say anything. It was really true that the speaker had no intention, but the listener had the intention. She wanted to make Bai Xing unhappy, but she was also worried about the future of the child, worried that he would be disliked by Bai Xing's wife and children and be wronged.

"Look what this is?" Wu Qingshuang said playfully, and took out something wrapped in oil paper from somewhere and shook it in front of Yun Anle.

Yun Anle did not respond, but Wu Qingshuang was not discouraged. She looked cheerful and exaggerated. While talking, she peeled off the oil paper layer by layer in front of Yun Anle, revealing a corner of the things inside.

Yun Anle's nose twitched. It was so sweet and fragrant. "Preserved fruit."

Wu Qingshuang smiled slyly. As expected, she was just a child. There was no candied fruit that could not handle a child. If there was, then just add a few more.

She handed it to the child, "Eat it."

Yun Anle swallowed, his eyes full of desire, but he did not move.

Wu Qingshuang smiled and stuffed the food into his mouth. "Eat if you want to. From now on, you will follow the master and eat as much as you want."

Yun Anle held the candied fruit in his mouth. It was very sweet, but he tasted a hint of bitterness for no reason.

He lowered his head and said nothing. The sunlight shone obliquely, forming a shadow in his eyes. He looked inexplicably melancholy and lonely.

This is the scene that Shirahoshi saw when he came out: a young girl was trying hard to cheer up a child who was suspected to have autistic tendencies. It was a very heartwarming scene, and Shirahoshi paused.

"Xiao Anle, you have to believe in Doctor Yun. Since he said you are his relative, you will always be his relative. No matter how many relatives he has, you will always be important to him."

"Look, my father has so many princes and princesses, and I am not his precious daughter. And you have to do your best. Don't be a bad kid. No one likes a bad kid.

If that doesn't work, you can spend some time to find out what the gentleman likes. Only by knowing yourself and knowing him can you please him and he will never give up on you."

"Really?" Yun Anle raised his eyes, and the candied fruit in his mouth rolled around, sliding from the left to the right, forming a small bag, which was very cute.

Wu Qingshuang was instantly attracted by the cuteness and couldn't help but pinch his cheek, "Really, really, are you feeling better now?"

Yun Anle nodded, "Well, I will be a good child and please the master."

Wu Qingshuang smiled with relief. She let go of Yun Anle and looked into the distance. "Child, you know, when I was little, I loved to cry. Whenever I cried, my elder brother would give me candied fruit to comfort me. He said that eating candied fruit would make me feel better."

"Well, thank you, Princess Sister." Yun Anle could hear the desolation in her voice, "Princess Sister, don't be sad. Big brother doesn't want to see you sad, so he makes you happy. You don't want to see me sad, so you make me happy. Now I'm not sad anymore, Princess Sister, don't be sad either."

Wu Qingshuang couldn't help laughing, "What? Are you not afraid that Doctor Yun won't want you now?"

Yun Anle shook her head, then nodded, "Master said he would take me away, and I don't have time to be sad now. Only by knowing each other well can I please Master, and then Master will always like Lele."

"Your Highness, Princess, I was only away for a short while. What did you teach me?" Bai Xing appeared behind the two of them like a ghost, and Yun Anle raised his head happily.

Wu Qingshuang was startled and turned around abruptly, "Sir, why are you walking without making any sound?"

Bai Xing spread his hands and said, "Just walk normally. You were too focused and lost your vigilance to the outside world."

Wu Qingshuang was secretly shocked. This was a big taboo on the battlefield. No matter what time it was, even if he was in the mansion or in the palace, he had to be extremely alert.

She stood up and bowed to Bai Xing, "Thank you for your advice, sir."

Then, she leaned closer and said, "Sir, since you already have a wife at home, it's only a matter of time before you have a child. Why don't you take Xiao Anle as your apprentice? That way he can have an easier time in your home. With his master's wife loving him, he will love his brothers and sisters in the future, and won't have to worry about you abandoning him. Would you consider it?"

She patted Bai Xing's shoulder and said in a slightly louder voice, "Since the sir is here, I'll leave first." After that, without waiting for Bai Xing to reply, she jumped up and left.

Bai Xing lowered his head and thought for a moment. Why didn't he think of this? An apprentice is not a son but is better than a son. Because of their different identities, their thoughts will be different, so they won't have any random thoughts.

Bai Xing shook his head and sighed. His ideas and concepts still couldn't keep up with this world. The first thing he thought of was to adopt him and become his guardian. But here, more people wanted to take him in as an apprentice.

The difference in status is huge.

Bai Xing made up his mind and decided to adapt to the local customs. When he looked up, he saw the child looking at him with bright eyes.

"Sir, you're back--" Yun Anle shouted happily.

Bai Xing seemed to be infected as well, and responded with a smile, "An Le."

What Wu Qingshuang said made sense. Instead of letting the child worry and get stuck on a dead end, it would be better to accept him as an apprentice. This way, he wouldn't be so sad after he left.

However, before that, teaching children survival skills is of utmost importance, so it is not an exaggeration to call them master.
