This feeling was extremely unfamiliar, but it did not prevent Bai Su from understanding his own feelings. It seemed that he really fell in love with this illegitimate son of the Xing family.
His eyes were always on the young man, and he was actually worried that the other party might be angry and disgusted with him because of his lack of concentration just now.
Who would have thought that after Xing Zhongchen stood up, he rubbed his sore arm, raised his eyes and looked at himself, his eyes were even brighter than before.
"Master, you are amazing!"
Chen Tian admired her sincerely. His lover's skillful movements and charming figure were truly captivating to him.
"How did you do that? Look at our figures. I'm obviously taller and stronger than you. How could you throw me out so easily? Teach me!"
Chen Tian was brimming with excitement. It was just a little physical pain, so how could he possibly be afraid? Being able to be close to his lover was simply worth it.
After hearing what Chen Tian said, Bai Su felt relieved. He nodded at him and began to teach him some fighting skills step by step.
Whether intentional or not, Bai Su was very close to him, inevitably touching him frequently while teaching him. He would raise his arm, pat his waist, and help him achieve a more standard posture.
Chen Tian's ears turned red and his expression was a little shy, but his heart was sweet.
At first, Bai Su had only wanted to tease the silly boy, seeing him blush and thinking he was adorable. But once he began teaching him, he realized that Xing Zhongchen was actually a good martial arts talent.
His muscles and bones are quite good, and his comprehension is high. I don’t know how that stupid rumor came about.
However, he could also see that this person had absolutely no foundation at all. If he had practiced martial arts earlier, he would have achieved something by now. It was a pity that he was only starting now, which was a waste of good talent.
Thinking of this, Bai Su couldn't help but become serious and taught Chen Tian a few more moves. As expected, the other party learned very quickly and could apply what he learned to other situations. He was definitely a very good student.
Seeing Chen Tian's face full of smiles, as excited as a child, Bai Su couldn't help but ask, "You are quite talented in martial arts, why have you never thought about learning martial arts?"
Hearing this, Chen Tian's face showed a look of loss.
"Actually, I've always wanted to learn martial arts. Since I was little, I've dreamed of becoming a wandering hero, or going to the frontier, fighting enemies and defending my country. When I was a child, a martial arts master noticed me and said I had good muscles and bones, so I practiced for a few days. But when my mother found out, she refused to let me continue.
Mother said I was a bastard's son and absolutely could not surpass my legitimate brother. Especially since my father was a civil official who disliked people wielding swords and sticks, so mother forced me to learn to write and write.
But I wasn't born with the brain to study articles, let alone understand their deeper meaning. The articles know me, but I don't know them. And all those Zhihu people piled up together, it gives me a headache!
At this point, Chen Tian's face wrinkled up, and Bai Su couldn't help but want to laugh. After laughing, a faint pain welled up in his heart.
Thinking of An San's previous report, Xing Zhongchen had also mentioned this wish to his cousin Zhu Ruoyan.
There were always many dirty tricks in these large families. Not to mention the illegitimate sons without support, even legitimate sons, if not favored, would sometimes live worse than the sons of commoners. Otherwise, why would the Prime Minister's Mansion allow him to marry her instead of Xing Ao'er and become her consort?
Perhaps others would think that even so, it is still much better than that poor family. At least they have enough food and warm clothes, and no worries about food and clothing.
But Bai Su's heart was biased. This was the person he liked, and he didn't want her to suffer even a little bit.
He might not be able to change Xing Zhongchen's past. But for the rest of his life, as long as he remained obediently under his wing, Bai Su was willing to let him do whatever he wanted. Of course, if he didn't want to, then he couldn't blame himself for resorting to extreme measures.
So, he said directly to Chen Tian: "If you really like to practice martial arts, it's okay for me to teach you in the future."
"Really? Then you better keep your word!"
When Chen Tian heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and anxious to finalize Bai Su's promise.
Seeing the person opposite him so happy, Bai Su's expression softened and he nodded, "Of course."
After saying that, Bai Su lowered his eyes and grabbed Chen Tian's arm. Seeing that the young man didn't resist at all, he curled his lips slightly, took him to the weapon rack, and asked him to choose a weapon that suits him.
Considering that my beloved had only just started practicing martial arts after many years, I didn't plan to teach him too much on the first day. I would let him choose a weapon first, and then find a martial arts style that would suit him based on his interests and conditions.
Chen Tian looked at the weapons on the shelf and touched them one by one. It seemed that he liked and wanted every one of them.
In fact, this was also the original owner's mood. Whenever Xing Zhongchen saw someone practicing martial arts in front of him, his heart was full of envy.
But before Chen Tian could finish his selection, a voice sounded behind them.
"Godfather, I've been looking for you for a long time, and now you're here!"
Chen Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Turning around, he saw a man in fancy clothes with fox eyes standing behind them. He was holding a gold-sprinkled paper fan in his hand, looking like a real dandy.
The other person's eyes were facing Bai Su, and he was actually calling Bai Su godfather.
So, the lover of this life is really like what is written in some novels, that the highest-ranking eunuch must adopt a godson?
The man bowed to Bai Su, then opened the folding fan in his hand and fanned himself. When he looked at Chen Tian with a smile, a gleam in his fox eyes.
He had just noticed the interaction between Bai Su and Chen Tian, and at this moment he smiled and said, "I guess this person must be my godmother!"
After he finished speaking, the man saw that Bai Su beside him did not object, and the smile on his face widened. He saluted Chen Tian and said, "Greetings, godmother. My son's name is Chu Zimei, and I am the second son of the Earl of Anping."
Originally, Chen Tian had no impression of the person opposite him, and the original owner had never seen this person before. However, the name Chu Zimei was a familiar name to him.
He hadn't expected this man to be the second son of the Earl of Anping, a notorious playboy in the capital. He hadn't imagined this man would actually be Bai Su's godson. Apparently, he could freely roam the Bai residence.
If that was the case, Chen Tian could understand why Bai Su would accept this person.
Although the lineage of the Earl of Anping has now declined, and it is said that the current Marquis of Anping favors his concubine and kills his wife, causing a lot of troubles in the mansion, but after all, it is still a hereditary title.
Even if the second son had no way of inheriting the title, he would not easily recognize a eunuch as his godfather. This Chu Zimei was definitely not as dandy as she appeared on the surface, and she was probably not an ordinary character.
But even if this person has some outstanding talents, Chen Tian still doesn't like him.
The weather wasn't particularly warm, yet he was deliberately fanning himself, feigning elegance. It was indescribably strange. His slickness was so incompatible with the atmosphere of the martial arts arena that it was annoying.
Chen Tian completely denied that he was picky because the man in front of him was handsome and seemed to have been with Bai Su for quite some time, which was why he was jealous and picky.
He frowned slightly and said to Chu Zimei, "Don't call me godmother."
Bai Su's jaw tensed instantly when he heard this. Although he had already expected Xing Zhongchen to refuse, he still couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he heard it.
Who knew that right after that, he would hear the young man next to him continue, "I'm a man, it's too awkward for you to call me godmother. How about you call me godfather, just like you call Bai Su."
Bai Su breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what the other party said. It turned out to be just a gender issue, not a reluctance to accept a relationship with him. He opened his mouth and instructed Chu Zimei, "Call me godfather."
Chu Zimei on the side readily followed suit and called out, "Godfather," not feeling at all embarrassed to address a young man who looked younger than herself like that.
Because of Chen Tian's words, Chu Zimei actually had a more genuine liking for him. It seemed that this man wasn't as bad as the rumors said; at least he was quite open and honest.
After the pleasantries were over, he walked over to Bai Su and whispered a few words to him.
Bai Su's face was serious. After listening to what he said, he nodded and praised him: "You did a good job on this job."
Then he waved his hand, called over several of his subordinates in the waiting area, and made a move to leave. But just as he took a step, he noticed the disappointment in Chen Tian's eyes, and he felt a pity in his heart.
He spoke soothingly, "I have some official business to attend to. I need to leave first. I'll teach you next time."
Chen Tian nodded. It was already great that his lover was willing to explain to him, and he had no intention of forcing her further.
But Bai Su still felt that it was a bit inappropriate to leave him here like this, after all, he was someone he cared about. He turned to look at Chu Zimei and said, "Since you have nothing to do now, why not accompany your adoptive father for a walk."
Upon hearing this, Chu Zimei immediately nodded in agreement, looking as if she was willing to obey Bai Su's orders.
The second son of the Earl of Anping had been by his side for many years and had always been sensible. While he appeared to be a playboy, he was actually a rare talent. It had taken Bai Su a considerable amount of effort to get him to work for him.
Now, the Hidden Pavilion, which Bai Su used to collect various information, was directly handed over to Chu Zimei. He had absolute trust in this person, so Bai Su was very relieved to hand Chen Tian over to him.
After Bai Su's figure completely disappeared from his sight, Chen Tiancai turned to look at Chu Zimei. Seeing that she was looking at him with a smile and even made a gesture of invitation, he did not refuse.
Since he wanted to stay with his lover, it was inevitable that he would have to deal with his confidants. He wanted to see what this person was capable of.
Chen Tian followed Chu Zimei out of the house, and she took him to the recently popular Zhenxiu Restaurant in the capital. Looking at the exquisite furnishings in the restaurant and the carefully prepared delicacies on the table, one could tell that the prices were quite high.
"This Eight Treasure Duck is our signature dish. Both the ingredients and the taste are top-notch. It's a feast for the eyes, the nose, and the stomach. Father, please try it."
Seeing Chu Zimei calling him godfather so calmly, Chen Tian suddenly felt that it was quite boring for him to be against others.
Just as I picked up the chopsticks, I heard a group of people coming into the building in a noisy manner.
The author has something to say:
Chu Zimei: As long as dad calls fast enough, the big guys won’t be able to bully me!
