My game even includes ancient times

He Shi's shyness didn't last long, because something even more embarrassing happened soon after.

Because she was worried that those people might do something to He Shi after she left, He Yu sat at the table with him, but she soon noticed that something was wrong with him.

Although He Shi's hands were tied, he had been lying quietly the whole time.

But for some reason, He Yu could see his upper body moving occasionally in the dim moonlight, his long legs curled up on the bed, rubbing uncomfortably.

Although He Yu couldn't see his expression, he listened to the sound of the fabric rubbing together and noticed his somewhat awkward movements. After thinking for a second, he tentatively asked, "Do you... need to go to the toilet?"

"!!!"

In the darkness, He Shi stared wide-eyed at He Yu, then choked on his saliva and coughed in a low voice, tears welling up in his eyes.

He Yu quickly stepped forward to pat his back and help him catch his breath: "What's wrong? Slow down, slow down..."

He Shi coughed for a while and finally caught his breath. He Yu reached out to wipe away the tears he coughed up and asked with some surprise, "You look like you need to go to the outhouse. What, you don't want to go?"

He Shi looked at her helplessly, his face flushed red: "I, I..."

He Yu immediately understood: "You just want to go."

She knew He Shi was a little shy, that's how teenage boys are, so she added, trying to give him a way out: "It's all my fault, I made you drink so much watermelon juice just now."

He Shi: "No, it's not your fault, it's my own fault..."

He couldn't continue, and lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to look at He Yu.

Seeing that he was so embarrassed he almost dug a hole in the bed to escape, He Yu seemed to be infected by the atmosphere of embarrassment and also inexplicably felt a little awkward: "Ahem, I'll go see if anyone's outside. If no one's there, you can go out. Um, well..."

As she spoke, she placed the door to the "Homeland" outside the house. As soon as she finished speaking, she stepped out of the house and appeared outside.

At midnight, the entire backyard was silent. He Yu, who remained invisible, circled the area twice, but there was no one there.

She walked to the window, removed the wooden stick that was attached to the outside, opened the window, and called to He Shi inside, "This way, come out of the window."

He Shi used his waist and abdomen to stand up straight from the bed, and walked to the window with his head down.

He Yu frowned as she looked at his arm: "Tie it up like this, it's inconvenient to move around. Turn around, I'll help you untie it."

He Shi obediently turned around and even raised his arm back and up slightly in cooperation.

By the bright moonlight, He Yu carefully memorized how the rope was tied and quickly untied the knot for him.

He Shi stretched his numb arms and nimbly flipped out of the window.

After relieving himself, he returned to the house via the same route.

He Yu put the wooden sticks that were sealing the window back in their original place and followed them into the house.

She made He Shi stand with his back to her, and tied the hemp rope tightly again, just like before. He Shi felt it for a moment, but didn't feel anything different, so he lay back down on the bed.

After everything was tidied up, the house returned to quiet for a while.

He Shi lay on the bed with his head down, still unable to recover from the shame he had just felt.

He Yu no longer felt embarrassed. He even took out a handful of fried soybeans from the storeroom and ate them one by one.

It's quiet in the night.

He Shi quietly raised his eyelashes and stared at the dark figure sitting at the table. A blank look flashed in his eyes from time to time, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

It was too dark inside for He Yu to see He Shi's face, and naturally she didn't know that the child was secretly watching her. She was thinking about how the Chu family would handle this matter.

This steward is no good; he's plotting to kill He Shi. If the Chu family doesn't handle things to her satisfaction, she'll take matters into her own hands and get revenge for He Shi.

While He Yu was mentally planning the ten punishments he would soon inflict on Steward Chang, He Shi had already closed his eyes.

Perhaps it was because he was too tired during the day, or perhaps it was because the night was too deep and the surroundings were too quiet. Listening to He Yu eating soybeans, He Shi felt a sense of peace and tranquility deep within his heart that he himself was unaware of. In a half-dream, half-awake state, he felt as if he were wrapped in soft clouds. His consciousness gradually blurred, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.

So much so that when the coachman unlocked the door and pushed it open, He Shi, who was usually a very light sleeper and would wake up if a leaf fell on the window, was not startled this time. It was He Yu who pinched him and woke him up, at which point he realized that He Yu had put something in his mouth.

The moment He Shi saw the approaching driver, his mind still a little fuzzy, he immediately realized the situation, quickly closed his eyes, maintained his breathing rhythm, and continued to pretend to be asleep.

The driver walked to the bedside, bent down close to He Shi's face, and carefully confirmed that he was still unconscious. He then pulled out a small bamboo tube from his sleeve, uncorked it, pried open He Shi's mouth with one hand, and poured the medicine from the bamboo tube into He Shi's mouth with the other.

The driver touched He Shi's lips with his finger to make sure that all the medicine had been swallowed and hadn't spilled out. Then, he closed He Shi's mouth and left silently, just as he had come.

As the brass lock clicked shut outside the door, the driver's slightly hesitant footsteps gradually faded into the distance until they disappeared.

He Shi opened his eyes and spat out a cotton ball soaked in medicine.

He Yu then took out another bottle of apple juice, inserted a straw, and held it to He Shi's lips: "Rinse your mouth. Did you accidentally swallow anything?"

He Shi shook his head: "No, there wasn't much of that medicine."

He took a sip of apple juice, rinsed his mouth, and then spat it out the window.

He Yu picked up the cotton ball, went to the small garden in the yard, casually dug a small hole, and buried the cotton ball in it.

When I went back inside, I saw He Shi sitting on a stool at the table.

He Yu approached and then saw the scene before him clearly.

He Shi had his hands behind his back, craning his neck to drink apple juice through a straw.

She chuckled inwardly, thinking, "What a glutton! Still drinking? Aren't you afraid you'll have to go to the toilet again later?"

Sitting down beside him, He Yu asked with a smile, "Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

He Shi put down the straw and gently shook his head: "I'm not hungry, it's just that I didn't brush my teeth last night, so I'm not used to it."

He Yu looked at him with satisfaction. For an ancient person to have such good hygiene habits was truly thanks to her careful teaching.

It seems I have a good talent for raising children. If I don't want to open a dessert shop anymore, maybe I can consider becoming a kindergarten teacher?
