He'd rather run than be turned into a cannon fodder for the broken engagement.

Leng Huan was used to being rough and carefree. His own bed was two meters wide, which he could occupy by himself and roll around however he wanted. But this small kang bed was only 1.5 meters wide. Fu Xun had been growing fast recently, and they would inevitably bump into each other when they slept.

Of course, Leng Huan has excellent sleep quality. Even if she sleeps in an awkward position in the middle of the night and kicks something, she won't wake up and will sleep soundly with her head spread out.

It was fine before, but now that Fu Xun has grown taller, this kang bed is really a bit too small.

Once again, Leng Huan kicked him awake. Fu Xun opened his eyes and stared at the thatched roof with its beams, his brows twitching slightly. He had a feeling of wanting to throw her out.

She's completely unreasonable! He hasn't even crossed the line yet, and she's already doing this!

"..."

Suddenly, Leng Huan kicked off the blanket again, and what's worse, she put one leg directly on Fu Xun's waist and hips. The position was a bit too tight, and Fu Xun's body stiffened immediately. His face gradually flushed, and then his face darkened. He took her leg off and, unable to bear it any longer, wrapped Leng Huan in the blanket like a cocoon.

Then he took a deep breath, turned over, and faced away from Leng Huan. His usually calm eyes showed a rare hint of emotion. He gave her the blanket and used the cool night air to calm his restless body.

Leng Huan was simply feeling some discomfort in his shoulder while he was asleep, and he was just rolling around trying to find a comfortable position.

Under a clear blue sky and a gentle autumn breeze, a person and a dog were playing happily under a tree, while a person was busy working in the field not far away.

“Sang Biao, come shake hands.”

"Awoo..." The dog whimpered softly and obediently raised its right front paw and placed it in its owner's hand.

"Good dog! Sit down."

Sangbiao obediently wagged its tail, squatted down on its two hind legs, and supported itself on its two front legs, carrying out its master's command.

"Sweetie! How about a quadruped?"

"Aww... squeak?" The dog looked bewildered.

"Pfft! Silly dog..."

Haha, the little chubby dog ​​is so cute!

Leng Huan grabbed Sang Biao's dog face, and with his thumb, he lifted the corner of the dog's mouth upwards, revealing a grinning face.

After playing enough, Leng Huan leaned against a tree trunk with a blade of grass in his mouth, looking ahead. The child was diligently pulling weeds, and behind him were rows of lush green vegetable seedlings.

She's been recuperating lately and likes to wander around the estate. Everyone else is busy, but she's the only one who's bored.

Today, she decided to go to the vegetable garden with Fu Xun to work. Of course, Fu Xun did the work while she watched.

The more he looked at the child, the more he felt that he had a bright future. After spending so many days together, Leng Huan found that the person was very self-disciplined, steady, diligent and efficient.

Damn it, seeing composure and self-discipline in a teenager makes Leng Huan feel inferior to him!

What was she doing at that age? Was she secretly skipping school to go online? Or was she reluctantly hired by her sister to be a tutor?

With his parents busy with work, Leng Huan lived with his older sister. The two siblings were five years apart, and Leng Huan essentially grew up under his sister's domineering influence, which could also be described as a form of bloodline suppression.

"Pah!" Leng Huan spat out the foxtail grass, looked at the thin clouds in the sky, shook his head gently, and threw away the distracting thoughts in his mind.

She stood up and slowly walked to Fu Xun's side, stepped on a spider, blinked, and said, "Little Xun, it's time to eat. Let's go back."

-

Fu Xun silently pulled weeds, while keenly sensing the watchful gaze behind him. He lowered his eyes and continued working as if nothing had happened, piling up the accidentally pulled seedlings and weeds together, so no one noticed.

He looked up at her upon hearing this and said calmly, "I know. There was a centipede where you were standing just now..."

"!!" Leng Huan jumped back in surprise.

That's why she was lazy. There are always many insects in the grass in the wild. What she fears most are those long, segmented, yellow, red, and black centipede-like insects with countless legs!

Fu Xun continued, "...I caught it." He picked up a large vegetable leaf from the side, on which lay a half-dead, red and black centipede, about the thickness of a thumb!

Leng Huan glared at him: "..." Why the hell didn't you say so earlier?

Leng Huan turned and left.

Fu Xun followed behind, wrapping the large worm in a vegetable leaf.

Upon reaching the courtyard, Leng Huan snorted and looked at him suspiciously: "What are you going to do with this? Don't mess with me!" thinking he was going to continue scaring him.

Fu Xun blinked innocently: "To be used as a medicinal ingredient, for a medicinal bath." He really didn't mean to scare her. Perhaps there was a hint of mischief in his voice.

A medicinal ingredient? "..." Leng Huan felt even more disgusted, touched his goosebumps, and quickly walked into the door.

-

As time went by, it took her seven or eight days for her wound to begin to scab over and heal.

These past few days, Leng Huan had been extremely careful when showering, afraid to get wet. Taking advantage of the sunny day, he boiled water and enjoyed a comfortable shower, feeling refreshed before heading out to the mountain to find Fu Xun.

The nearby mountains belong to the Lin family, and logging is prohibited, but one can collect dry branches. I wonder if he managed to collect any.

But Granny Zhou called out to Leng Huan: "Xiao Huan, come here for a moment."

"what happened?"

When Leng Huan entered the room, she saw Granny Zhou holding a tank top and beckoning to her: "Come on, Xiao Huan, see if this fits you, is it the right size?"

"..." Leng Huan realized that this was a bellyband made of fine cotton cloth that she had bought before. She let Granny Zhou measure it on her body like a puppet, and finally concluded that it was very suitable.

“Very good, your old skills are still there. I remember this size was right when I sewed the clothes for you before.” Granny Zhou smiled with her eyes narrowed.

Leng Huan sighed: "Didn't I tell you not to worry about it? You're getting old, it's not good for your eyes."

"No way, this old woman may not be good at anything else, but her eyesight is excellent! Come, come, I've already washed your clothes, take them and change into them, my dear, wearing tight cloth strips all the time isn't good for a young lady's health."

"..."

Leng Huan's lips twitched, speechless. She had originally planned to go to the city to find an embroiderer to make it herself. She took the bellyband and waited for Granny Zhou to leave before taking off her clothes and putting it on.

She took a few steps and jumped around, feeling very uncomfortable. She was used to wearing the cloth strips, and this sudden relaxation made her feel a little... swaying.

In the end, she did wrap her breasts with a strip of cloth, but not as tightly as before. This made her breasts a little more noticeable than before, but fortunately her clothes were loose enough that they weren't visible unless you got close.

Helplessly touching his rather pretty nose, Leng Huan pushed open the door and went out, only to be met with his mother-in-law's satisfied and gratified gaze. So Leng Huan once again fled in panic.

They jogged up the mountain.

Passing by a clear stream, Leng Huan stopped and expressionlessly approached the water to look at herself—sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, a graceful young man. She put her hands on her hips, clutching her clothes tightly, her body curves becoming exquisite again—a young woman.

Leng Huan released his grip and threw a small pebble into the calm water. With a "thud," a beautiful figure was instantly jostled about.

The next moment, there was no shadow in the water.

The boy's figure has already faded into the distance.

—

It was still that same mountain cave, where someone was curled up in a ball, trembling all over, and making suppressed groans of pain.

This process of reshaping his bones and muscles took a long time, and Fu Xun couldn't help but scream in pain. After this, he would be fully recovered. Thinking that his foundation was about to be completely reshaped, Fu Xun gritted his teeth, clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his arms bulged out. He was in so much pain that he was covered in sweat.

---Tolerate!

Coincidentally, the cave was not far from the dilapidated temple. As Leng Huan climbed up, hearing the painful screams carried by the wind, she turned and headed in that direction.

What's that sound? Could it be little Ah Xun?

Fu Xun was with Sang Biao. Leng Huan heard several dog barks coming from the dense grass and forest ahead, confirming that they were there.

My pace quickened involuntarily.

Fu Xun was writhing in pain on the ground, having long forgotten that the silly dog ​​Sang Biao was following him. He vaguely heard the dog barking and then realized that the silly dog ​​that had gone to chase the rabbit had returned.

"Ugh... Ah...!" A low whistle was followed by a teeth-grinding cracking sound as muscles and bones stretched and extended, the painful transformation finally completed!

At the same time, Leng Huan walked to the cave entrance, craned her neck and saw a person suddenly appear inside. She thought she had seen a ghost.

"Little...? Ah!!"

Fu Xun lay exhausted, still recovering from the soreness, when he suddenly heard a familiar scream. He immediately sensed something was wrong and hurriedly tried to call for help, but due to a stitch, he couldn't help but cough violently.

"Cough cough cough... Huan, brother..."

Upon hearing this weak shout, Leng Huan, who was about to run away, stopped in his tracks. It was a person, and a damn familiar one at that.

"Yin Xun? Ah Xun, it's you? You...you're..."

Leng Huan ran over and helped Yin Xun sit up. The shoulder in his hand was strong and powerful, no longer the naive child he had been before.

Fu Xun took a breath, his body drenched in sweat, and looked at Leng Huan, replying in a hoarse voice, "It's me."

—

"So, this is what you meant before, that you're not a child?"

Outside the cave, the sun had set behind the western hills, casting slanting sunlight on two figures, one tall and one short, standing facing each other.

"Yes, I was injured and my foundation was destroyed. I used rare and precious materials to rebuild my bones and muscles. The changes in my physique are just a side effect of rebuilding my bones and muscles..."

Upon hearing this, Leng Huan glanced at him in surprise. He noticed that cold sweat still lingered on his handsome face, and his wet hair clung to his increasingly defined profile. He clicked his tongue inwardly—reconstructing bones and muscles sounded incredibly painful.

Leng Huan felt sorry for him and nodded, "So you've fully recovered and won't shrink again?"

Fu Xun glanced at her expression and hummed in response.

Suddenly, Leng Huan smiled, patted Fu Xun's shoulder (which she had to lift high to reach), and said, "Kids who can shrink are really amazing. Congratulations on surviving this ordeal and being reborn!"

Looking at her slender hand, which had recently recovered, resting on his shoulder, and then at how much shorter she was than him now, Fu Xun suddenly felt very good, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Well, this ordeal is over."

Leng Huan looked at his now grown-up appearance, which was somewhat familiar to her when he was still a child. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, and there was a hint of calm evil between his deep brows and eyes. She suddenly curled her lips and admitted that he had her style back then. His smile was even more evil, surpassing her own appearance as a school heartthrob.

but--

Suddenly, Leng Huan narrowed his eyes and asked, seemingly casually:

"How old are you, Yin Xun?"
