The young master held Han Xiao's big hand with a guilty look on his face: "I...I'm not afraid either. My husband is really a joker. Even Yu'er is not afraid, so I'm not afraid either."
Hearing the guilty conscience in the young master's tone, Han Xiao didn't point it out: "Really? Well, I am a little afraid of thunder. Ruanruan, you have to protect me in the future."
When the young master heard that Han Xiao was actually afraid of thunder, he immediately puffed out his chest and patted it loudly: "Don't worry, my husband, Ruanruan will definitely protect you."
"Brother, Yu'er is not afraid either. Yu'er will protect you." Little Yu'er continued unwilling to be outdone.
Immediately, the two little cuties started arguing, and Han Xiao laughed all the way.
Han's mother could hear Han Xiao's hearty laughter from inside the door, so she came out curiously to see: "What are you three talking about that makes you look so happy?"
Seeing Han's mother coming over, the young master felt embarrassed: "Mom, I didn't say anything, I just said it was going to rain..."
"Mom, tell me if Yu'er is the bravest one and is not afraid of thunder at all."
Mother Han was stunned when she heard this, then she looked up at the sky and said, "Yes, our Yu'er is very brave."
Then he reached out and hugged Han Yu'er. Little Yu'er looked at Han Xiao happily: "Look, big brother, mother said Yu'er is the bravest."
The young master was still a little unconvinced and could only puff up his little mouth and look at Han Xiao pitifully.
Han's mother didn't know what dispute the two had before, but since it didn't seem like a big deal, she just let Han Xiao handle it.
Han Xiao secretly pinched the young master's hand and whispered, "I still prefer Ruanruan to protect me."
The young master then smiled and rubbed Han Xiao affectionately.
Han Mingyuan and Han Que were already waiting at the dinner table. Han Mingyuan had a cold look on his face, and Han Que looked unconvinced.
Han's mother found it amusing and knew that the father and son were probably quarreling again. Han Que's eyes lit up when he saw Han Xiao come in. He jumped off the bench and ran to Han Xiao, grabbing his clothes and saying, "Brother, where's Xiaobai? Let Xiaobai come out and play with me."
Han Mingyuan's face looked even uglier now. Han Que spent the whole afternoon writing a large piece of calligraphy. The rest of the time he was either in a daze or playing, which made him uneasy.
There was really no other way but to let Han Que out to get some fresh air, but I didn't expect that he would start making trouble again after just a short while.
Han Xiao grabbed Han Que's arm and pulled him back to the stool: "Behave and eat first, or I'll beat you up later."
Han Que shrank his head and sat down obediently. His elder brother was different from his father. His father was a weak scholar with little strength, but he had thick skin and didn't feel any pain or itch. But Han Xiao was really beating him.
Seeing that Han Que had behaved himself, Han's mother smiled and served everyone food: "Alright, let's eat first. Que'er, don't act naughty anymore. And Ruanruan, this is your favorite chicken soup, drink it quickly."
The young master took it with a sweet smile: "Thank you, mother."
After dinner, Han Xiao let Xiaobai out to play with Han Yuer and Han Que.
The rainstorm arrived as expected, and Han Mingyuan's brows never relaxed as he looked at the heavy rain outside the window.
Han Xiao saw the uneasiness in Han Mingyuan's heart and whispered, "Dad, are you worried about the Autumn Examination?"
As the time for the Autumn Examination drew closer, Han Mingyuan became a little uneasy. He was afraid that he would fail again despite his teacher's expectations.
Han Mingyuan nodded hesitantly, stroking the teacup with his fingers.
"I always feel like something is going to happen soon."
Han Xiao understood clearly that Han Mingyuan was probably anxious before the exam, which was normal. He felt the same way when he took the college entrance exam. As someone who had experienced this, Han Xiao wanted to say a few more words.
"Don't worry, Dad. You'll definitely be able to perform normally. You're the last disciple of the renowned Master Qinghe. How can you be afraid of a small exam? I'm still waiting for you to win the top three places and be on the list of top scorers."
With Han Xiao's interruption, Han Mingyuan seemed to feel less pressure. He glanced at Han Xiao with dissatisfaction and said, "Stinky boy, how can it be so easy to win three prizes in a row?"
Han Xiao chuckled: "Hehe, I don't know about others, but my dad will definitely be able to do it. Dad, our Han family will rely on you in the future."
These words made Han Mingyuan very angry. It is always the father who relies on the son, but how can the son rely on the father for his studies?
Han Xiaopi finished his words and ran out quickly. When Han Mingyuan realized what was happening, he was going to be scolded again.
Han Xiao is in a very good mood now. In his opinion, it is a foregone conclusion that Han Mingyuan will pass the exam, otherwise Mr. Qinghe would not have left so confidently. As long as nothing unexpected happens, there will be no problem at all.
Han Xiao's expression softened as he thought of this: "Xing Yi, keep an eye on all matters at home, big or small, as the Qiuwei exam approaches."
"Don't worry, sir!" Xing Yi's expression was firm; he knew the importance of the matter.
"By the way, we need to send someone to monitor Han Mingxiu as well. Tell me immediately if there's any unusual movement... We'll also send someone to monitor Han Zhang's as well."
Han Mingyuan failed the exam three times, which was closely related to Han Mingxiu and his mother, so as long as Han Xiao kept an eye on them this time, Han Mingyuan would not get into any more accidents.
"Yes, sir. By the way, does Young Master Qingyan still need you..." Xing Yi said to Han Xiao hesitantly.
Light smoke? Han Xiao pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "No, I believe my father-in-law and the others will have arranged it. Black Hawk will also be keeping an eye on us, so there's no need to intervene. Just follow the plan and there shouldn't be any accidents."
Xing Yi nodded and prepared to leave when she saw that they had arrived at Han Xiao's yard.
The heavy rain outside was still falling, and faint thunder could be heard continuously, as if it was preparing for some big move.
The young master lazily leaned against the window, reading a storybook, holding a grape in one hand for a long time without putting it in his mouth. He was obviously engrossed in the book.
The rainy weather was much cooler, and there was no ice in the room. The young master was only wearing a thin inner garment, and Fifteen was fanning him from behind.
Although no one was talking, there was a sense of peace and tranquility.
After taking off his rain-soaked clothes, Han Xiao wandered around the room wearing only a pair of underpants.
The young master felt someone coming in, and when he looked up, he saw Han Xiao's strong chest. His face flushed, and he picked up the storybook to cover his eyes.
Seeing the young master's actions, Han Xiao took a step forward and took away the young master's notebook: "Why are you back so early? Where's Xiaobai?"
The young master was not angry when the storybook was taken away. His eyes were wandering but he didn't dare to look at Han Xiao: "Yu'er is sleepy, so I came back. Xiaobai was left behind by Que'er to play. I saw that Xiaobai was quite happy, so I ignored him."
Han Xiao nodded, and a flash of lightning flashed outside the window, scaring the young master into screaming.
"Haha, isn't it said that Ruanruan is not afraid of thunder?" Han Xiao looked at the young master playfully.
"I'm not scared, it's just... it was just too sudden, so I got scared... Yeah! That's it!"
