The common area is made up of courtyards of various sizes, the paths are divided into a ‘#’ shape, it has the feel of a modern day’s villa. An Jun Yue took out a hundred taels of silver on the spot and passed it to the waiter. The waiter courteously led the carriage directly to a small, quiet courtyard.
“Xiao Quan! Xiao Quan came out.”
The servant brought An Jun Yue and the others into the courtyard, the courtyard wasn’t big but the ambiance was great, a pleasantly decorated small house suitable for An Jun Yue’s kind of ‘family’.
A young boy, about 13 or 14 ran out of the house, appearing normal with dark skin, he looks very smart and capable.
“Master, Xiao Quan is the servant who cleans this courtyard, you can just order him if there’s anything you need, this humble one will retire now.”
An Jun Yue nodded his head slightly, the waiter smiled and asked Xiao Quan to take care of something then left.
“Master, any orders?”
Xiao Quan stood respectfully at the side, taking peeks at the man in front, he’s never seen anyone so beautiful in his life.
“Wait first.”
An Jun Yue smiled at him, then opened the carriage door, the sounds of Qing Ran’s crying already stopped, but An Jun Yue became more worried,
“Liu Li, how’s Qing Ran?”
“En… He’s asleep.”
Liu Li carried Qing Ran and got down from the carriage, then stuffed the child into An Jun Yue’s arms and went into the house.
“I’ll go look around inside.”
“How did he fall asleep?”
An Jun Yue looked at the little kid in quilt, he really was sleeping soundly, could he be tired from crying?
Liu Li secretly stuck his tongue out in the house, he really had no choice and made Qing Ran fall asleep with a spell...
An Jun Yue saw that Qing Ran was fine, then wanted to order Xiao Quan to take care of something, but saw him dumbly looking towards where Liu Li disappeared. He frowned slightly, he hated trouble.
“Xiao Quan, do you live in this courtyard?”
“Ah? No, no, this humble one only comes to clean every day. I serve guests if there are any.”
Xiao Quan looked at the house stubbornly, ‘So pretty… seems like a man, but it can't be, it must be a girl pretending!”
“Then you just take care of cleaning the front yard, you don’t have to come inside, you don’t need to come on normal days either… We can prepare the meals ourselves, if I need any ingredients I’ll write it down and place it in the kitchen.”
An Jun Yue saw that Xiao Quan seemed to be panicking, and said some more.
“It’s not your problem, we’re just not used to strangers being close by, so you clean and prepare early in the morning then don’t come anymore. Also, buy a few clothes the size of this one, the material should be comfortable, the colour… a light one is fine, and prepare some vegetables along with fresh meat and send them to the kitchen.”
An Jun Yue took out a relatively clean shirt from the pile of child clothes and then packed up the others. He passed it to Xiao Quan and took a silver ingot.
“Throw away the other clothes, keep the change for your hard work.”
“Yes…”
Xiao Quan timidly took the money and left. He knew that most rich people have some taboos, but he won’t be able to see that beautiful person anymore…
“You… don’t like others touching you?”
Liu Li swayed out from the house, he heard their conversation very clearly. He felt it was a bit strange, the tone An Jun Yue used to speak with others was a bit estranged, normal people wouldn’t be able to tell the difference, but he could tell very clearly.
An Jun Yue only carries some emotions when talking to the child, he seemed to have borrowed the child’s light to make him look different.
Liu Li amusedly raised his eyebrows and chuckled, An Jun Yue, an interesting human.
“Just, a little not used to it.”
He didn’t have interest in getting used to it either. An Jun Yue still smiled gently, few things interest him, the things he cares about were even lesser, but he likes simple and beautiful things, like the little brat in his arms, don’t know whether he’ll grow up to be as complicated as those in the civil world, but at least he is beautiful now, that’s why he wanted to do something for him now.
“I’m not used to it too, they’re a little annoying.”
Liu Li squatted by the door formlessly, watching An Jun Yue smile frankly.
“I’ll say it first, I really can’t take care of that kid anymore, plus, I’m pretty, if you want to teach me you have to be patient!”
“...Right.”
An Jun Yue saw this kind of Liu Li, he felt inexplicably… comfortable. Maybe they could get along well.
The second day.
“Liu Li.”
“I don’t want to!”
“There’s always a first time.”
“No! An Jun Yue, don’t force me!”
“Liu Li…”
“I won’t help this brat pee even if I die!”
Liu Li roared then ran away, leaving behind a helpless An Jun Yue and Qing Ran who couldn’t stop laughing and babbling.
The third day.
“Wah wah....”
“Liu Li, what happened to Qing Ran this time?!”
An Jun Yue put down a halved vegetable and rushed over to Liu Li’s room.
“That… He bit me.”
“Then why is he crying?”
“I bit him back…”
“...”
“Liu Li, how old are you…”
An Jun Yue felt like he was taking care of two babies.
The fourth day.
“Mom...ha...ya...ya...mom…”
“Damned brat, can you stop climbing on me?!”
Liu Li picked up the culprit who disturbed his sleep and couldn’t help but shout.
“Liu...Li.”
An Jun Yue’s gentle voice came from afar, but it still made Liu Li freeze up.
“Baby, be good, mom loves you, don’t cry.”
An Jun Yue gently pressed his temples with a headache in his room, can he really let Liu Li take care of Qing Ran…
The fifth day.
…...
“An Jun Yue, can Qing Ran sleep with you tonight?”
Liu Li used one hand to carry Qing Ran and another to push open An Jun Yue’s room door, today is the night of the fifteenth full moon, he wanted to borrow the moon’s light to cultivate.
“I want to sleep alone… Are you showering?!”
Liu Li saw the man who just stood up from the bathtub, a little embarrassed to look into his eyes, but his body is so well built…
“Liu Li, remember to knock when going to someone’s room.”
An Jun Yue put one an outer robe with his back facing Liu Li and stepped out of the bathtub, smoothly covering up his aura with the jade ornament at his waist.
Liu Li heard a faint hopelessness in An Jun Yue’s tone, after a few days of getting along, An Jun Yue slowly showed more and more emotions towards him. Although most people can’t tell, Liu Li could clearly feel that An Jun Yue’s emotions fluctuate, ‘I feel… a sense of accomplishment!’
“Dad… Hug...”
Qing Ran could already speak a few words under An Jun Yue’s teachings, this made Liu Li, who was forced to take care of the child suffer more noise pollution.
“Okay.”
An Jun Yue smiled lightly and carried Qing Ran from Liu Li’s arms, the faint fragrance from the bath made Liu Li somewhat uncomfortable, but An Jun Yue obviously didn’t notice.
“Then… I’ll go first!”
Liu Li quickly ran out of the room, making An Jun Yue a little confused.
“Did you do something to make him angry again?”
An Jun Yue looked at the little villain in his arms with suspicion, Qing Ran returned a sweet and innocent smile instead.
