Since the start of the Lunar New Year, Duofu's days have become even more leisurely.
Every morning after getting up, I take a stroll and eat until my tummy is round and full before I get hungry.
Then, wagging its tail as if it were about to take flight, it strode into the Fourth Prince Yinzhen's study with an air of superiority, to read his precious new book for the day.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas.
———
Yesterday, Duofu had almost finished reading the geography-related book, and it didn't have the magic to make him want to read it again.
Duofu, like a scumbag, ruthlessly tossed the book aside and, as he left, even stomped on it twice as if it were a cushion.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, didn't even lift his eyes, continuing to diligently study his lessons.
Little King of Curry is still working as King of Curry, but he's a big slacker now, with nothing to do.
I'm unhappy.
Duofu, wanting to find something to do, had a new idea in mind. He decided to take another look at the small study, as he might not have explored it thoroughly last time.
He immediately scurried around the small study, trying to find any interesting books he liked.
After struggling for quite a while, Duofu still hadn't made a fuss.
However, Duofu was not discouraged and was planning to continue his efforts.
He continued to wander around the small study, searching for new gadgets.
The noise was so loud that it even made the usually patient Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, a little angry.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, put down his small calligraphy brush and unceremoniously hugged Duofu into his arms, showering him with affection.
Ba Duofu whimpered and struggled to squeeze out of his arms, but he was too small and weak to be a match for the six-year-old little dumpling.
It wasn't until the Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, had calmed down a bit that he finally gave up and placed Duofu on the table.
After leaving the desk and hesitating for a moment, he picked up the bottom book from an inconspicuous little cabinet in the corner.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The object was placed in front of Duofu, who was still curled up with his round body, whimpering and pretending to cry, looking heartbroken.
Seeing the books laid out in front of him, he struggled to pry open his two blindfolded hands, trying to make a small opening.
However, his strength didn't allow it; his two front claws were too round and fat to have this function.
Duofu awkwardly tried a few more times, but still couldn't succeed. He then solemnly put his paw down and started whimpering and pretending to cry.
When he opened his big, fox-like eyes, he saw the title of the book on the desk.
The fake crying motion suddenly stopped, filled with joy.
It pounced on it, pinning the book under its paws.
However, Duofu was not willing to give up, and he was coaxed back so quickly.
He's very hard to please.
He then lay on the book, sobbing and looking like he was about to cry, as if he had been bullied terribly.
The Fourth Prince, Yinzhen, held Duofu in his arms and coaxed him for a while before finally making him smile broadly, looking like a fool.
———
Duofu solemnly placed the book in front of him, clasped his hands in a proper manner, and bowed three times respectfully.
He looked like a student bowing to a teacher, but of course, Duofu didn't think that way.
His future entertainment depends entirely on this precious book, so he must treat it with utmost care and preserve it well.
In the modern era, Duofu had also heard of the famous Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The first time I heard about this book was when I was in junior high school studying Lu Xun's article, Runtu and that scoundrel. I learned that Lu Xun also loved reading the Classic of Mountains and Seas when he was a child. However, at that time, I had only heard of it and had no interest in reading the so-called ancient works.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The modern world is dazzling and tempting, with countless entertainment activities that can captivate people.
At that time, homework already took up most of his free time, so the remaining half that he managed to squeeze out was naturally meant for what he liked.
It's a game.
Anime.
A novel.
That's three big ones.
There was no other time to spend on Lu Xun's very difficult texts. After finishing one, he didn't want to study anymore, so why would he want to read his favorite extracurricular books?
Things are different now. Duofu can't do anything except eat and drink. Now, all he has to do is read a few extra books to entertain himself.
He wanted to kill time, otherwise he felt he was going crazy, eating and drinking all day long, just like a little pig.
Duofu felt that even if he were the reincarnation of a salted fish, he would still get annoyed and couldn't stand it.
He needs his own spiritual support and to entertain himself.
Now, apart from occasionally listening to the gossip of the eunuchs and palace maids, only the books in this small study can elevate his indomitable soul.
Duofu solemnly opened the book, hoping that his beloved Mr. Lu Xun also had the heart of a poor student when he was young, and that this book was suitable for him, a big slacker.
Instead of those classical texts like the Four Books and Five Classics that make people want to fall asleep, it's no wonder there have been academic underachievers throughout history. In ancient times, being an academic underachiever was actually quite normal.
Duofu thought that if he were reborn as a scholar, he would definitely be a complete academic failure and a lazy bum.
The little dog, Dengduofu, lowered its head more and more slowly, until it was about to bury its entire head in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
The Classic of Mountains and Seas flipped rapidly through Duofu's hands. After a short while, Duofu finally exhaled cautiously, his eyes sparkling.
