Nan Zhiyun felt like a child, being casually held and played with in his arms. How could he hold her so easily? Nan Zhiyun buried her head in Yu Jingchen's chest. She didn't want to speak. Damn it. Nan Zhiyun wiped all her tears on Yu Jingchen's clothes.

Yu Jingchen was both amused and exasperated to see her looking so adorable yet somewhat pitiful.

He reached out and picked up the bamboo scepter next to him again. Nan Zhiyun happened to see this action and her body immediately stiffened. Yu Jingchen naturally felt it as well. He found it somewhat amusing; it seemed she was still afraid.

He took the bamboo stick and placed it in Nan Zhiyun's hand: "If Yun'er is unhappy or angry, then use this to hit her back now, okay?" Yu Jingchen started coaxing the child again.

Nan Zhiyun's face paled as she looked at the board inside. It really hurt so much to be hit like that…

"Yun'er, don't be angry. Just hit back. Hitting back will let you vent your anger, okay?" Yu Jingchen asked her.

Nan Zhiyun glanced at Yu Jingchen, then at the bamboo plank, and suddenly felt uncomfortable. She threw the plank away in a fit of pique, and Yu Jingchen was taken aback.

Then I saw the little girl clinging to me, hiding in my arms, and crying.

"Waaah...it hurts!" Nan Zhiyun finally let out her pent-up emotions and couldn't hold back any longer.

Yu Jingchen quickly recovered. Hearing Nan Zhiyun's voice, his heart ached. He held Nan Zhiyun like a child, patting her back to comfort her, "It's alright now, it's alright. This won't happen again, but Yun'er still needs to remember this." Yu Jingchen reassured her.

"Waaah, it's swollen, it hurts so much..." Nan Zhiyun couldn't hear anything else; she just wanted to cry, she just felt wronged. Why was she so unlucky today?

"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Let's not do it again next time, okay? Don't be afraid... I'll put some medicine on you in a bit." Yu Jingchen didn't regret it, but next time... he should try a different method. This might be a bit too harsh for a young girl like Nan Zhiyun. She must have been hit at least ten times today, including on her hands and buttocks.

"Sweetie, don't cry..." Is Yu Jingchen taking care of a little baby?

"Your Majesty... Waaah!" Nan Zhiyun truly felt wronged this time. She was in so much pain. His Majesty didn't even comfort her, but hit her directly, and with such force, it really hurt.

"It's also to teach you a lesson, otherwise you might really dare to do anything in the future. Yun'er, you should think carefully before you do something. I'm really afraid something will happen to you. If I couldn't find you today, or if you were injured or something else happened, I can't imagine what I would do." Yu Jingchen was also very scared when he thought about what happened today.

"I won't do it again, I was wrong... Your Majesty, could you please stop hitting me? I don't like it, it hurts so much..." Nan Zhiyun said this directly.

"We're not going to fight anymore. We'll never fight like this again. We're giving up on this method from now on." Yu Jingchen didn't want this to happen a second time. He was just really angry today, which is why he resorted to this method.

"Then... will Your Majesty still punish him?" Nan Zhiyun released her arms from Yu Jingchen's neck.

"No more punishment, that's enough for today." How could Yu Jingchen bear to continue punishing him?
