Qin Sheng ran over in a few steps. "You're early. Sikong Jue didn't see you, did he?"
"No, I followed the path you sent me. I didn't dare to get too close. I miss my son so much," said Chu Xia.
After coming back from the fashion show, she had only seen Jian Jian in a hurry at the company. She hadn't even hugged him yet!
"Wait here. I'll think of a way to carry Jian Jian out."
After saying that, Qin Sheng ran to Sikong Jue's private pharmacy.
As soon as she entered, she saw a wall and a medicine cabinet with many small drawers.
She didn't expect it to be so full of medicine so soon after the opening. Shen Tong stood behind the counter and was organizing the medicine. She looked very happy.
"Qin Sheng, you're here! Look, I'm opening up! Do you want some medicine? I'll give you a discount."
"Ah? There's no need! I don't need any medicine..." Qin Sheng was taken aback by Shen Tong. She was busily serving customers in the pharmacy and looked very happy.
She could tell that Shen Tong was very excited to see so many people. She thought that with this pharmacy, Shen Tong wouldn't be lonely anymore.
She glanced around the pharmacy and couldn't see Jian Jian.
"Shen Tong, where is Jian Jian?" Qin Sheng asked.
"He's playing with Brother Jue in the backyard!" Shen Tong said.
Qin Sheng walked quickly to the back door of the pharmacy. From here, she could enter the yard.
The pharmacy in front of them was open for business. There was a small building in the backyard where they lived.
When she stepped into the yard, Qin Sheng saw Jian Jian standing in the yard. Clearly, the child had been standing there for a long time. She saw Jian Jian's legs shaking.
"Jian Jian!" Qin Sheng ran to the child's side and hugged him. "Sikong Jue, are you even human? Why are you treating Jian Jian like this?"
The man sitting on the rattan chair in the yard raised his eyebrows. "I told you earlier that it would be best if you didn't send him here for treatment, but you insisted on doing it.
"Today is just the beginning. The horse stance, followed by learning martial arts to strengthen the body. Then, the ironman decathlon. If you want to know what it is, go and check it out...
"All of this is to train his heart and lungs. Of course, if he doesn't train well one day, he might die. Take him away before I ruin him!"
Sikong jue stood up and glanced at Chu Jian. He turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait, don't go! I'm so sorry. He's only five years old. Can you train him in a gentler way?" Qin Sheng didn't want to give up on Jian Jian.
"Gentler? Lying down is the gentlest way... Why don't you just take him back and let him lie down?" Sikong Jue retorted.
His gaze landed on Jian Jian's little face. "He's full of bad habits. I'm not willing to teach him! If you want to leave, leave quickly!"
Chu Jian's small face puffed up. "Old man, I'm not leaving! I won't lose!"
"Who are you calling old man?" Sikong Jue was furious. How was he old?
He was only thirty and this boy was calling him an old man?
"I'm calling you an old man! You're the oldest here! Old man, admit your defeat and don't go back on your word!" Jian Jian smiled evilly at Sikong Jue.
Sikong Jue was rendered speechless. When he glanced around, he realised that he was the oldest one in the yard...
"You sure talk big for a little boy. Let's win this then! Also, call me Master!"
He picked up a vine and swung it at the little boy's leg.
The vine landed on Chu Jian's leg. Chu Jian glared at Sikong Jue with cold eyes. He didn't even say a word about the pain...
"Ah! Why are you hitting him?" Qin Sheng was so angry that she almost wanted to tear Sikong Jue apart!
"He doesn't know how to respect his master." Sikong Jue glared at Jian Jian. "You deserve to be hit! Even if you don't scream, you'll still be hit!"
This little boy was very clever. If he didn't intimidate the little boy, he wouldn't be able to control him in the future. More importantly, the little boy wouldn't listen to him in future training!
He held up the vine and was about to hit Jian Jian again.
"Master, don't be angry. How could Jian Jian not acknowledge you as his master? Don't worry, I will honor you by being with Tong Tong in the future!" Jian Jian said sweetly.
Sikong Jue almost snapped the vine. The little boy would honor him by being with Tong Tong?
What kind of seniority was this?
"Tongtong is my fiancé, little thing. If you want to be with a woman, you have to grow up first!"
"We agreed on a bet. You can't go back on your word!" Jian Jian shouted.
Qin Sheng was surprised. "Jian Jian, what did you bet with your master?"
"I bet that I could stand here for half an hour. Master said that he didn't think I could. If I win, Tong Tong will sleep in my bed. If I lose, Tong Tong will sleep with him!" Jian Jian said seriously.
Qin Sheng was confused. These two actually made a bet?
"Jian Jian, can we not bet on this? You can't stand for half an hour. "
The little boy insisted on standing. He hadn't moved since she came.
"I can do it. I don't want Tong Tong to sleep with the old man!" Jian Jian said indignantly.
She was his Tong Tong!
"What the f*ck? You're so lecherous at such a young age. Who are your parents? Surely there's no one on this planet with genes like yours!" Sikong Jue complained.
Qin Sheng rolled her eyes. Sikong Jue didn't have a clue who the little boy was...
She was speechless. Both father and son had the same taste...
She suddenly remembered that Chu Xia was still waiting outside!
"Jian Jian, um, look, Mommy's here. Aren't you going to kiss Mommy? Let's go out. You can compete with Sikong Jue later, okay?" she said.
"No, I'll lose as soon as I move! I don't want to lose!" Chu Jian said stubbornly.
Qin Sheng was so anxious that she wanted to run away, but she couldn't show it. Suddenly, she thought of an idea. She quietly walked out of the courtyard and returned to the pharmacy.
A moment later, Shen Tong rushed into the courtyard. "Brother Jue, how can you let Jian Jian stand there? I don't like you anymore!"
Shen Tong didn't care about Sikong Jue. She pulled Chu Jian away.
"Jian Jian, don't worry. I'll sleep in your bed tonight. I won't let the old man bully you!"
"Really? Tong Tong, you're too kind!" Chu Jian hugged Shen Tong and kissed her happily.
Shen Tong brought Jian Jian to the pharmacy.
Sikong Jue's lips twitched. This kid was a disaster... He'd only been here for two days, and Shen Tong had already taken his side.
Was he really old?
Why would Shen Tong come out here, anyway? His eyes flashed with suspicion.
In the pharmacy, Qin Sheng finally had the chance to be close to Chu Jian. "Tong Tong, thank you."
"No need to thank me. I didn't know that Brother Jue was treating Jian Jian this way. Otherwise, I would've gone to the yard long ago. Didn't you want to take Jian Jian out? Go now!" Shen Tong said.
Qin Sheng thanked Shen Tong and brought Jian Jian to the place where she and Chu Xia were meant to meet.
Chu Xia saw her son from afar. She rushed over happily and hugged Chu Jian.
"My good son, hurry up and let Mommy kiss you!" Her Lips landed on the child's small face.
Chu Jian rubbed his hand against his small face in dissatisfaction. "Xia Xia, why are you here?"
"You don't care about your mother anymore, do you?" Chu Xia pouted and said.
"That's not true. Aren't you dating again? I just don't want to be a third wheel for you!" Chu Jian said.
Chu Xia was about to say something when her gaze passed over Qin Sheng's shoulder. She saw Sikong Jue walking over...
