“I told my mom, but she didn’t believe me. She said she didn’t see any other children with me at the time.”

Zhao Gan got a little angry when he said this.

"Do you think I don't know if someone is pushing me? I can feel someone pushing my back."

Even if there were no children nearby at the time, that doesn't negate the fact that he was indeed pushed.

And who said that only children can push him?

It might have been done by an adult.

Upon hearing his son's guess, Zhao Wenming immediately told him not to talk nonsense.

"You can't make things up without evidence."

Zhao Gan was quite afraid of his father.

Hearing his father say that, he shut his mouth.

Dou Chenfeng, who was standing to the side, looked at Huo Cheng and asked, "Old Huo, what are you thinking?"

Dou Chenfeng's years of experience with Huo Cheng told him that Huo Cheng must have noticed something was wrong, otherwise he wouldn't be so serious.

Huo Cheng shook his head slightly.

Looking up at Zhao Gan, he said, "Comrade Zhao Gan, I believe you were pushed into the water."

He spoke to Zhao Gan in the tone one would use to speak to an adult.

For a seven or eight-year-old boy, this is a form of respect.

His small sense of self-esteem was greatly satisfied.

"Thank you, Uncle Huo."

"Well, but you have to promise your uncle one thing too."

Huo Cheng quietly instructed Zhao Gan not to act alone during this period.

You shouldn't blindly trust what others say.

He hadn't yet guessed the other party's motive for pushing Zhao Gan into the water. But whether it was aimed at Zhao Wenming or simply wanted to kill Zhao Gan, it was something that couldn't happen.

Until they find the culprit, the best course of action is for Zhao Gan to be extra careful.

As for other matters, those are left to the adults to handle.

"Comrade Zhao Gan, can you complete the mission?"

Although Zhao Gan didn't know what it was about, this was the first time he had been solemnly asked to do something like an adult, so he would definitely keep it in mind.

The young boy solemnly made a promise to Huo Cheng.

"We guarantee the mission will be completed."

After agreeing, Zhao Gan went from the living room to the kitchen to warm himself by the fire.

He doesn't participate in the matters discussed between the adults.

Although he was mischievous, he was still a very sensible child.

Upon arriving in the kitchen, he obediently greeted everyone and then sat down next to Liu Meiyu.

Then he looked at Yingyue with admiration, wanting to learn to swim from her.

As soon as he made his request, he was slapped by his own mother, Liu Meiyu.

Zhao Gan scratched the back of his head and chuckled.

"Auntie, aren't you cold?"

"What are some ways to combat the icy seawater?"

They are only seven or eight years old, so they are still very curious.

"When I fell in, the seawater felt like needles, pricking my body and it hurt so much."

Zhao Gan still felt a lingering fear when he recalled what happened during the day.

The same goes for Liu Meiyu.

The more frightened the mother and son became, the more they felt that Yingyue had given them a second life.

Liu Meiyu silently decided in her heart that from now on, Comrade Cheng's affairs would be their family's affairs.

When Zhao Gan asked her question, Yingyue had already prepared her answer: "Because I've been practicing Tai Chi since I was a child!"

Tai Chi?

Tai Chi?

Neither Liu Meiyu nor Zhao Gan, mother and son, had ever heard of this term.

Huo Qing, however, knew some of it.

"Tai Chi has this effect? ​​I'll definitely learn it from you when it gets hot next month."

Yingyue nodded seriously, "You can practice even in winter."

Huo Qing...

Isn't this just a case of wanting to be lazy in winter and not wanting to get up?

Yingyue earnestly told Huo Qing, "To practice kung fu, you can't be afraid of the cold. Only by training in the scorching heat and freezing cold can you develop excellent kung fu skills."

She wasn't lying.

Rather, it was her memories of life in the mountains that told her that life in the mountains was indeed like that.

Her master, who was also her great-aunt, was very strict with them.

No matter what you do, once you've committed yourself to it, you can't slack off.

In my master's words, unless you don't choose it in the first place, once you do choose it, you have to stick with it no matter what...

The Zhao family of three left Yingyue's house.

Huo Qing and her husband also returned to the house next door.

Yingyue also took a break.

Tomorrow is her first day at work, so she can't be late and she has to be in good shape.

Huo Cheng, who had just tasted meat last night, still managed to resist the urge tonight despite the intense heat.

He simply cuddled Yingyue while sleeping.

His little girl was delicate, so it couldn't be too frequent at first, as her body couldn't handle it. Also, he didn't want to frighten her.

Since I've never had any sexual activity before, I sometimes experience some reactions, but they usually subside after a little while.

Now that I've tasted meat, my tolerance for it has actually decreased.

This is truly incomprehensible.

He could only slowly move his body away a little.

Although Yingyue had her eyes closed, she didn't fall asleep so quickly.

Noticing that the person holding her was slowly pulling away, she opened her eyes with some curiosity.

"Huo Cheng, are you hot?"

"no."

Huo Cheng found it difficult to speak.

Yingyue was a little confused, then raised her face and kissed Huo Cheng.

Huo Cheng, who was already difficult to endure, had his patience reduced even further by Yingyue's kisses.

He reached out and pushed her away slightly.

"What's wrong?"

Yingyue blinked.

Puzzled.

Huo Cheng shook his head and reached out to hold her shoulder. "Go to sleep."

"Oh, okay!"

Goodnight!
