Yushuiwan Villa.
"Brother! Come quick!" Qiao You waved to people from the pool, while Helian Jue had just finished an online meeting in his study.
Helian Jue opened the window and saw a handsome young boy covered in water droplets, waving at him with a bright smile.
Yesterday afternoon, under Su Yinchen's coaxing, Su Xia finally relented and agreed to talk to people.
Qiao You had previously thought of trying to persuade Xia Xia and Su Yinchen when he saw them arguing, but he gradually realized that the two of them were completely willing to hit each other, so he decided to stay out of it.
Upon receiving Xiaoyu's invitation, Helian Jue had no choice but to change his clothes and go into the pool to swim with her.
"Brother! Let's have a competition!"
"The loser agrees to one condition from the winner." Qiao You's expression was excited, and his two slender legs playfully swung in the water.
Helian Jue wiped the water splashed on his face. "Okay! Baby lost, but don't cry."
Qiao You said smugly, "I wouldn't do that."
Thus, a swimming competition exclusively for the two of them officially began.
"Brother, let me count!"
Helian Jue acquiesced.
Qiao You's cunning was very obvious, and Helian Jue saw it.
"5, 4-1!" Qiao You swung his legs playfully and swam straight forward.
Qiao wasn't very skilled at swimming, so he could only imitate the little mermaid, using his legs as a fish tail to swim forward with a splashing sound.
Helian Jue remained half a step behind Qiao You, not in a hurry to move forward. Little Yu was really cute, unable to hide anything.
These past few days, Qiao You had been stealing glances at him, wanting to say something, but the words always got stuck in his throat. It wasn't until today that he finally brought up the swimming competition, and this little scatterbrain actually used a human-shaped device to compete against him...
My precious child deserves to be pampered.
A few minutes later, Qiao You won, about five seconds faster than Helian Jue.
"Brother! I won~" Qiao You circled around Helian Jue in the pool, extremely happy.
Helian Jue said indulgently, "Yes! Baby is very capable, brother can't catch up."
If the little fish had a tail right now, it would definitely be able to hold it high.
"Tell me, what do you want your brother to promise?" Helian Jue asked, looking at Qiao You.
Qiao You had already thought about the requirements; today's swimming competition was all about that.
Qiao You smiled mysteriously, "Hmm! I'll tell my brother in a few days."
Helian Jue didn't ask any further questions, and picked up the little fish with one arm, saying, "You've already met your exercise target for today."
"The fruit is ready."
Helian Jue had quite good arm strength, and he carried the little fish back to the villa with one hand.
Qiao You was quite happy that she didn't have to walk herself.
After the recent turmoil, Helian Tu's faction has kept a low profile for the time being and has not caused any trouble.
Meanwhile, Helian Jue's public satisfaction rating continued to rise slightly, remaining stable in the top three, which pleased Eleanor greatly. She sent Yu Qin to keep a close eye on these figures.
That evening, just after Helian Jue and Qiao You finished dinner, Lin Zhong arrived.
Qiao You reverted to her mermaid form, leaned against Helian Jue's chest, feeling a bit sleepy, and squinted as she watched TV half-heartedly.
"Your Highness, I have noticed some strangers around the villa recently," Lin Zhong reported. "This evening, I knocked one unconscious and used Luns's telepathic device to find out that he is a man of the Second Prince Helian Tu, and his target is... Your Highness Qiao You."
Qiao You's eyes widened suddenly. "Me?"
Lin Zhong continued, "The order from the Second Prince's residence is to keep an eye on Prince Qiao You's whereabouts."
Helian Jue's face instantly darkened. Helian Tu actually wanted to touch his little fish?
"Keep a close eye on things." Helian Jue gave Lin Zhong a look; with Xiaoyu around, there were certain things he couldn't say outright.
He... didn't want Xiaoyu to see his... ruthless side.
Lin Zhong understood His Highness's unspoken meaning, and replied, "Yes."
It was late, so Lin Zhong didn't linger. After reporting the matter, he left on his own initiative.
"Brother! This Helian Tu is too wicked!" Qiao You said indignantly, "He's been bullying you, killing the spirit pet, and now he's plotting against me?"
Do you really think I'm an easy target?
Looking at Qiao You's angry expression, Helian Jue felt a sense of tyranny reminiscent of ancient Earth's records of a tyrant, but he also found the baby's anger rather adorable.
"There's no need to be angry. Baby just needs to be happy. Your brother will handle this." Helian Jue comforted her. "It's time to sleep."
After saying that, he picked up the little fish and headed straight for the bedroom.
Hearing such news before bed really chased away his sleepiness, and Qiao You was very energetic at the moment.
"Brother, I..."
Helian Jue rolled over and hugged Xiaoyu tightly in his arms, stopping Qiao You from continuing to discuss the matter from what had just happened.
Mmm! It smells just like my brother! Qiao You feels so good!
Okay, with my brother here, I can put everything else aside.
Before long, Qiao You nestled in the warm embrace and fell asleep. He Lianjue looked at Qiao You's face, and a surge of warmth welled up in his heart.
At 7:30 a.m., Qiao You woke up on time, remembering what Lin Zhong had reported to him before he went to bed the night before.
He immediately pulled out his personal terminal, ready to discuss it with Xiaxia and see if they had any ideas.
As soon as I turned on my computer, I found news about Helian Tu.
#The Second Prince punished a seven-year-old boy, leaving him partially crippled#
Qiao You's eyes lit up instantly; there was some gossip about Helian Tu!
"I'll just spin a yo-yo right into Helian Tu's face! First there was the abuse of spirit pets, then the beating of children, what other surprises does this prince have that we common folk don't know about?"
"This time there's video evidence, let's see if he can still deny it."
