"Is this comfortable?" Xiao Xingyu turned his face slightly.
Zhang Moyan's breath hitched, as if she'd been struck by a hundred thousand volts of electricity, her entire body numb. Actually, when you think about it, his question was perfectly normal. It was probably just some random thought that suddenly occurred to him... I really didn't expect myself to be that kind of person.
"Yeah." Zhang Moyan said in a low voice.
"What does 'hmm' mean?! If it's comfortable, it's comfortable. If it's uncomfortable, it's uncomfortable."
The other party is really serious about this and probably rarely makes such sacrifices, so he must get positive affirmation before giving up.
"It's quite comfortable."
Paired with a white shirt with an unbuttoned collar and a handsome face, it's truly a must-have!
Don't look away. It's better to look at this kind of top-notch guy less. What if she finds it difficult to pass the test when looking at other men in the future? She is already 25 years old. She can't afford to be too picky any longer.
"Do you have difficulty expressing your emotions?" the man behind me asked strangely.
"...I don't think so!" Zhang Moyan turned her head and looked at him.
"That's good. You've been hesitating and leaving things unsaid all day long!" Xiao Xingyu stared at her. "If you were my wife, I'd be interested in guessing. But unfortunately, you're not. So, do you have to tell me everything clearly? Better be direct!"
Zhang Moyan frowned. What was he talking about? Why didn't he seem to understand him again?
Forget it, let’s change the subject…
"Teacher Xiao, you've been to that mountain hall above before, right? I think you seem to have known about that stele for a long time."
"Yeah, what's wrong?" He was a little annoyed that the woman changed the subject.
Zhang Moyan opened her mouth and asked, "Have you been in there before?"
"Yes, I sneaked in there when I was a kid."
Zhang Moyan immediately asked, "Were you beaten when you were a child?"
Looking at him with bright eyes.
Xiao Xingyu looked at her, trying to read from her eyes whether her question was about her concern for him as a child or for Xiao Maner's future.
"No."
Zhang Moyan was a little surprised, but soon heaved a sigh of relief: "Didn't they say that except for Mr. Xiao, your father, and your uncle, everyone else who went in would be beaten? You weren't beaten, does that mean that little aunt won't be beaten when she returns later?"
"Yes." Her face was as gloomy as water. It turned out that this woman was just concerned about whether Xiao Maner would be beaten.
"Great, that's right. Children should be exempt from the family rules."
Xiao Xingyu felt that his jealousy was a bit boring and smiled slightly: "Family rules don't make exceptions for children. Everyone is equal before the family rules of our Xiao family."
Zhang Moyan became nervous again: "Then...then what..."
Xiao Xingyu smiled with a serious expression: "Okay, don't worry, you won't be beaten. No matter how big the family rules are, can they be bigger than the national law?"
Zhang Moyan was completely confused.
"Because of the 'Minor Protection Act,' idiot!" Xiao Xingyu raised his hand and knocked her on the forehead. "According to family rules, it must be dealt with, but now we are a highly civilized society with a legal system. Anyone who hits a child will be held accountable!"
Zhang Moyan suddenly understood and smiled brightly, "Great! Then you shouldn't have scared her just now. Look how worried she was about to get a beating!"
Xiao Xingyu's voice immediately became dissatisfied: "You only worry about her, why don't you care about me? I don't have the protection of the 'Minors Protection Act'. I will definitely be beaten when I go back. Why don't you worry about my life or death?"
After being reminded by him, Zhang Moyan remembered that the person in front of her was the real person to be punished: "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about my little aunt and forgot about you..."
"I knew it!" Xiao Xingyu gritted his teeth. As expected, she only had eyes for the child. He was probably not worth a scallion in her eyes! How could this woman be so maternal? This child wasn't even her own, and yet he was being ignored like this? If she had her own child in the future, would he still have room for her?!
"Is it... 10 strokes with the ruler?" Zhang Moyan asked nervously, "I heard from the little aunt that it would be 10 strokes."
I didn't want to answer, but seeing her expression, she seemed genuinely worried, so I decided to answer her. "Yes, it's that thick, long, and sturdy wooden ruler on the altar in the living room. It's made of rosewood, which has an extremely high density. It's said that it carries the weight of several lives."
Zhang Moyan was terrified. No wonder the little aunt was so scared!
He took a breath and asked, "What will happen to a person if he is hit 10 times?"
"That depends on how hard the fighter tries. Flesh injuries are not a big deal and can be healed after ten days of rest. But if there are fractures or bone breaks..." He clicked his tongue.
"What will happen?" Zhang Moyan stared at him with her clear eyes, filled with anxiety.
Xiao Xingyu gritted his teeth slightly and said, "Then I can't hide this from my mother anymore. I'm afraid the world will be in chaos!"
Zhang Moyan panicked when she heard this, and without thinking too much, she said, "I am responsible for this matter. The bottom line is that I shouldn't have gone to Zhenyunxuan with my little aunt that day. Tell Mr. Xiao the whole story, or put all the blame on me and let him punish me if he wants!"
Xiao Xingyu smiled slightly: "Do you think our old man would do this?"
Zhang Moyan refused to give up: "Then at least give me half. Hit me 5 times and I'll hit you 5 times! If you only hit me 5 times, you won't be seriously injured, right?"
"How can you help me share the burden? You're not a member of our Xiao family, unless..." He restrained his smile and looked her face up and down at close range, "Unless I tell them that you are my privately-engaged fiancée, the kind who will marry me till death."
