Shen Yunjie’s expression turned dark. With a swift motion, he twisted his hand to wrench the ruffians away, but upon bending his fingers, he realised he now lacked the strength. Before, dealing with such scoundrels was light work for someone like him, but his depleted dantian had put those days behind him. So not only was that bastard attached to his wrists, but the others also joined in to paw at his waist, buttocks, and hips. Thus, with gritted teeth, he could only do his best to protect his stomach and try to find a way to hide.

_{Shen Yunjie stepped back at once, eyes lowered, his lips remaining sealed. But the more quiet he stayed, the more rowdy the ruffian became. Thinking him meek, every word spat grew more displeasing.}The moment Xiao Ning was out of sight, some new “patrons” came his way. Burly ruffians, sporting bits of weeds in their mouths to boot, crowded around the shop front and propped themselves against the stall with a lean. The tiny stall couldn’t help but creak under their weight as if it was about to fall apart. Seeing this, Shen Yunjie couldn’t help but frown.

Shen Yunjie stepped back at once, eyes lowered, his lips remaining sealed. But the more quiet he stayed, the more rowdy the ruffian became. Thinking him meek, every word spat grew more displeasing.

_{Shen Yunjie was aghast. He was more than willing to lower his head in front of his young master, but no one had ever treated him with such frivolous disrespect in his life! It was maddening, so much so, his fury agitated the poison sealed by the silver needle in his heart. In an instant, his chest erupted in a stinging pain, and his eyes turned black.}
Since the day Xiao Ning smashed a desk with one hand for the sake of his son, the little chubster and company only held admiration and envy in their gazes towards Xiao Yuan. To those kids, that Xiao Ning, who always walked around with a solemn expression, could smash a table with a single fist and was as strong as an ox, was immensely impressive. But even though they still encircled Xiao Yuan, none dared reach out to pinch his round little cheeks.

_{While stuck in his quandary, a few of the runts got closer, touching his face.}Before sunset, every day without fail, Xiao Ning would accept the hand towel offered to him by Shen Yuinjie, wipe his hands and face clean, then leave to pick their son up from school. After he left, for a short window, Shen Yunjie was left to manage the shop on his own.

Chapter Twenty-four

_{“Unhand me.” Shen Yunjie held his stomach and struggled to retreat. “My master will be on his way here any minute now.” As he said this, he thought of the long knife that was resting behind the stall, but he then thought that if he did take the lives of those hooligans, his young master would run into trouble because of him again.}The moment Xiao Ning was out of sight, some new “patrons” came his way.

Sadly, unlike the conflicts between children put to rest as swiftly as they arise, adults are far more interested in spreading gossip. News of Xiao Ning recognising Xiao Yuan as his son—news of Shen Yunjie’s stomach getting bigger by the day—had all become the hottest pieces of happenings circulating the neighbourhood after supper every night. While some were burning with envy towards Xiao Ning, who was lucky enough to pick up a kind and gentle beauty, others were drowning in jealousy towards Shen Yunjie for having such a handsome and capable cake seller to depend on. But regardless of how either side flapped their lips, both Xiao Ning and Shen Yunjie simply carried on with their lives.

_{The ground had very little dust, so Shen Yunjie only had to pile the hot pastries into one hand before struggling back up to his feet. Extending his hand, he handed them to the ruffian boss, but that guy only had one thing in his sights, and it was not those pastries.

After another month of bed rest passed for Shen Yunjie, he had had enough and refused to spend another day doing nothing but lying down. He now spent his days in the shopfront by Xiao Ning’s side helping make those cakes. Thus, anyone stopping by to shop would be gifted with the scene of the “shaobing couple.” One kneading the dough, one cooking it. One handsome, one graceful. Even while both were dusted by flour or oil, they still made for an eye-catching sight. In the end, more and more gathered to buy. Business was booming.

Feeling a pinching pain around his waist, Shen Yunjie realised he was being held up by someone. His last sight was that of his neighbour’s face.

_{The joy smeared over the faces of those brutes quickly turned to horror at the beauty's current sight. That man’s blood-drained face covered in perspiration made him seem as though he would faint. It frightened even the onlookers who gave him no aid. To them, teasing another person’s wife was one thing, but causing a person’s death was another matter entirely.}

After placing his order, the apparent boss of the group kept leering at Shen Yunjie outright. He had heard that the male lover taken into the Xiao household was a beauty, but upon seeing the person for himself, he realised that man had surpassed the beauty his mind originally conjured up.

Turning his gaze to the sky above, Shen Yunjie realised that Xiao Ning and Xiao Yuan would be on their way back soon. He also realised that his young master would be displeased by the trouble those undesirables were causing around the shop. After a moment of hesitation, he came out from behind the stall to pick up the pastries for those bums. Because of his condition, bending over had become a chore. So as he squatted down, his snow-white robes overflowed on the dirt like a blooming flower, one seeming to envelop his frail body—one painting a heart-wrenching sight.

_{Around them, the crowd scattered. To the folks in the neighbourhood, the reputation of those ruffians was well known, so not a soul dared step forward to intervene and incur the hooligans’ wrath. Sweeping his gaze over them, Shen Yunjie had no intention of saying a word until the cakes currently cooking were done.}“Ten copper coins.”

_{“Darling, I see you got some buns’ in the oven there, so give us a few, won’t ya?”}
Unfortunately, the hoodlum boss had other intentions, refusing to sit idly by. Sticking himself forward, he leaned close enough to push his face in Shen Yunjie’s before saying with a playful grin, “Where did a beauty like you fall from, huh? Are all people of your sort born naturally eye-catching?”

“Darling, I see you got some buns’ in the oven there, so give us a few, won’t ya?”

_{“You can wait for the next batch to finish, then,” Shen Yunjie replied calmly.}The ruffian leader extended his hand to accept the package, but the second Shen Yunjie let it go; the ingrate pulled his hand away, letting the five pastries fall onto the floor with a roll.

Shen Yunjie was aghast. He was more than willing to lower his head in front of his young master, but no one had ever treated him with such frivolous disrespect in his life! It was maddening, so much so, his fury agitated the poison sealed by the silver needle in his heart. In an instant, his chest erupted in a stinging pain, and his eyes turned black.
