_{Hearing the sound, the old woman looked inside to see a person slowly descending from the upper floor.}
When the sun rose the next morning, light drizzling fell beyond the windows. Forcing his eyes open, Shen Yunjie’s gaze was soon filled with the sniffling Xiao Yuan sitting beside him, holding a cake bigger than his face in his hands. The young boy, taking a few bites despite his tears, stopped to cry out for his father when he noticed the man had awoken.

Hearing the sound, the old woman looked inside to see a person slowly descending from the upper floor.

_{“Daddy… I’m scared.” Huddled in his father’s arms, Xiao Yuan's little cheeks were stained with tears of grievance as he spoke. Shen Yunjie’s heart ached at the sight, his fingers moving to wipe away those tears. Lowering his head, he then placed a kiss on his son’s head, saying, “There’s no need to be afraid, Xiao Yuan. That uncle is not a bad person. He will not hurt you, alright?”}Curling his lips, Xiao Ning replied casually, “Distant relatives. They got struck by a bit of misfortune and came here to seek refuge.”

That uncle is not a bad person. He will not hurt you, alright?”

_{“Young master…”}
“Xiao Yuan…” Shen Yunjie replied to the boy looking up at him with a face resembling a calico cat’s, the tone expelled from his throat weak and gruff. Every slight movement he made felt as though his bones were broken. The pain shooting out with every twitch was enough to make his eyes go dark.

“Young master…”

_{Shen Yunjie couldn’t find the robe he arrived in, so he wore one of Xiao Ning’s outer robes before heading downstairs instead. That ever-present throbbing of his sore lower half of his made him use the railing for support as he made his way down.}
“Daddy!” Xiao Yuan pounced on Shen Yunjie’s side before carefully taking hold of his finger. Enduring the bout of dizziness caused by the innocent act, Shen Yunjie gritted his teeth, wrenching himself upwards. Once sitting, he noticed he was again dressed in his undershirt, and the messy bed was properly cleaned.

Shen Yunjie couldn’t find the robe he arrived in, so he wore one of Xiao Ning’s outer robes before heading downstairs instead. That ever-present throbbing of his sore lower half of his made him use the railing for support as he made his way down. But despite his pale lips being pressed together tightly and the beads of sweat speckled above his brows, Shen Yunjie's beauty still shone through like an autumn moon’s light reflecting on willows. His form akin to frost and snow. Possessing the kind of beauty that ensnared a person’s gaze.

Curling his lips, Xiao Ning replied casually, “Distant relatives. They got struck by a bit of misfortune and came here to seek refuge.”

_{Craning her neck to peer inside the house further, the old woman then exclaimed, “Goodness me! W-w-who are t-t-they…?”}Xiao Ning snorted at her question and slapped the dough in his hand onto the cutting board. Turning his head to Shen Yunjie, he then spat with frost, “What are you doing down here? Aren’t you tired from all the ‘rolling around’ we did last night?”

Xiao Yuan lowered his head, his gaze falling onto the cake he’d been nibbling on for a good while before heeding his father’s words with a nod. Seeing this, Shen Yunjie again endured the soreness of his lower half and forced himself on his feet to take his son downstairs.

_{But Xiao Ning simply kept stuffing the wrapped, steaming hot cakes into the old woman’s basket as if he hadn’t heard a thing she said.}
On account of the rainy weather, there weren’t many out and about on the street that day, so the sole customer out buying cakes was an old woman. Carrying a basket in hand, she chattered on as she would any other day while buying her cakes from Xiao Ning. “I told you, Xiao Cui is an exceptionally good girl. She’s virtuous, considerate, pretty and has nothing but thoughts of you in her heart.”

The old woman still persisted, however, still giving out advice after handing him a copper coin as payment. “Wouldn’t it be good to have someone at home to care for you? You’re not young anymore. Are you planning to spend your life living like this? So listen to this old woman’s words, alright? Take advantage of the youth you still have and—”
