Wen Moxue's lips twitched.
This kid is really annoying, but his begging is also quite heartbreaking.
It was rare to see him ask for something with such politeness, and he didn't refuse outright.
After all, he's just a kid around ten years old, and he learns everything from what adults teach him.

Lu Xiaojun dashed out in a flash.
Lu Xiaoqin's eyes lit up. "Oh dear, my little brother has never gathered firewood before. I'll go check on him."
