So sweet! She's pampered like a precious gem in her little world.

Since Chu Yu turned fifteen, she could clearly feel that some of the restraint men showed her was gradually weakening.

Specifically, he gradually showed her intimacy that went beyond a romantic relationship.

It was as if he was testing her, or as if he was confirming something with her.

In fact, she had been prepared for this for a long time.

The incident happened so suddenly that she simply didn't have time to react.

After all, her mission in coming into this world was to find this man.

Furthermore, she already had the answer to that guess in her heart.

With her final psychological burden lifted, she could accept the task more readily and work even harder to complete it.

That way, she can return to her former world sooner.

Chu Yu's coming-of-age ceremony was in the twelfth lunar month, close to the end of the year.

Since the beginning of winter, she has been staying in Penglai Palace all day and refusing to go out.

She was sensitive to the cold, so the underfloor heating in her bedchamber was burning very brightly.

After court, Jingyin went straight to Penglai Palace and took off his cloak at the entrance.

Even so, upon entering the inner hall, he still frowned in disapproval.

It's so hot.

The master is willful, and these palace servants who serve him are also ignorant?

The house is so hot that it's very easy to get a fire hazard.

The inner chamber of the sleeping quarters.

Chu Yu was reclining on the rosewood daybed, engrossed in reading a storybook.

The little girl was tiny, taking up only a small corner of the daybed.

Next to her was a low table with floral and bird patterns, on which were fruits, snacks, and her favorite hot tea mixed with milk.

That is, milk tea.

Chu Yu didn't originally like milk tea, but one day she suddenly missed the taste.

I had a sudden inspiration to mix milk and jasmine tea together, and it actually tasted a bit like the signature "Bo Ya Jue Xian" drink from a certain large chain milk tea shop!

Seeing that the small blanket covering her was already askew, Jingyin sighed resignedly, walked over, bent down, pinched the corner of the blanket, and carefully covered her up.

Although it was hot inside, she was dressed very thinly.

Chu Yu felt a little hot and subconsciously tried to kick off the blanket.

The man, however, seemed to have anticipated this, his long, slender fingers gripping the corner of the blanket tightly, making it impossible for her to kick it off.

He said helplessly, "I had someone put out the ground dragon before I came in. We'll put it back on when the temperature drops. Be good and cover yourself with the blanket."

Hearing this, the girl stopped moving around and secretly pouted, thinking she could escape the man's gaze.

"Initially".

The man's eyes lowered slightly, and his tone became more forceful.

"I know, I was wrong—"

Whoever raised them, they will be like them.

He showed excellent remorse.

However, Jingyin knew her too well.

Don't be fooled by how readily she apologizes now; she'll still repeat the same mistakes later.

Taking advantage of his doting on her, she became increasingly lawless.

He would go along with everything else, but when it came to her health, he would stick to his principles.

Chu Yu smiled with a hint of ingratiation, hugged the man's arm and shook it.

Jingyin remained unmoved and did not lower his tone or expression in the slightest.

"Tell me, what did you do wrong?"

"Hmm... the earth dragon is burning too hot."

Check it out.

Know everything.

I know perfectly well what I shouldn't do.

I just can't help it.

Jing Yin lowered his eyes to look at the girl who was clinging to his arm and snuggling against him affectionately, and sighed inwardly.

In the end, I just couldn't bring myself to give the little rascal a good scolding.

He reached out and pinched the little girl under her armpits, pulling her and the blanket into his lap.

He gently pinched her chin with his long fingers, lifting her small face to face him.

“Our baby has grown up, and there are some things I need to tell you.”

He rarely spoke to her so seriously, and Chu Yu suddenly became nervous.

Jingyin noticed the change in her mood, released his hand from her chin, gently pressed her head close to his chest, and patted her back lightly with his large hand.

"I won't yell at you or scold you, I'll just talk to you, don't be nervous, okay?"

"it is good."

The little girl's voice was soft and a bit muffled.

"I know that we don't like being bound by rules at first, so within reasonable limits, I will indulge you and let you live as freely as possible."

"Maybe sometimes you feel that I don't allow you to do too many things, and that's partly my fault. I apologize to you. In the future, I will try my best not to restrict you on trivial matters, okay?"

His voice was gentle and slow, with a captivating tenderness.

Chu Yu nodded in his arms, "Mmm."

"Okay, I've finished answering my questions. Now let's talk about Chu Chu's questions."

"Although I sometimes restrict you a lot, to be fair, most of it is for your benefit from an objective point of view, right, baby?"

"correct."

The little darling nestled softly in his arms, and Jingyin's heart softened as well. He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss the top of her soft hair.

"I can understand that everyone has a rebellious side. Even the most law-abiding person will occasionally want to do something subversive. It's only human nature."

"So when our baby is naughty and disobedient, the older brother doesn't discipline him strictly. Firstly, he can't bear to, and secondly, it's understandable."

Chu Yu buried her face in his chest, unable to hold back her tears.

At first, she thought the man simply wanted to teach her a lesson for being naughty and disobedient.

I later discovered that this wasn't the case.

In the original world, Chu Yu lost both parents at a young age, and no one had ever taught her in such a gentle tone: "You can be yourself as you please, and you can occasionally break the rules that restrict you. It's not your fault; it's human nature. I can understand you."

She used to always use the word "gentle" to describe Jingyin's attitude towards her.

Only now do I realize that her understanding was superficial.

Jingyin's tenderness towards her went far beyond his actions; it was ingrained in his very being.

He would not only arrange everything for her, but also patiently teach and help her establish the right values.

Chu Yu sometimes felt that this man's values ​​were so upright that they were unlike people from ancient times.

His ideas were very advanced; the policy that allowed women to take exams and become officials in the current dynasty was initiated by Jingyin.

Jingyin carefully considered his words before speaking, his tone calm but his heart filled with trepidation.

He had never spoken to a little girl like that before.

She was too young before, so there was no need to explain these things to her; she wouldn't have understood anyway.

Now that his little darling has reached marriageable age, it's best to teach her some life lessons sooner rather than later.

I waited for ages but didn't get a response from her.

Jingyin was still wondering if he had explained things too profoundly and she hadn't understood.

Suddenly, a chill ran through my chest.

she cried?

——oo——

Sorry, I've been working overtime these past few days and forgot to wish my darlings a happy holiday yesterday.

Wishing everyone a happy holiday and happiness every day!
