At this point, Xu Xin couldn't help but laugh, thinking back on how foolish he was back then, not even knowing what a cuckold meant.
However, as soon as Xu Xin looked up and saw Zhao Yang's stern face, his urge to laugh disappeared, and he continued, "Da Zhuang laughed for a long time, then stopped and asked me, 'Xu Xin, did you also get up to help put out the fire?' I said yes, and then he started laughing wildly again. I asked him, 'Your dad told you to go home, why haven't you gone back?' and he immediately put his finger to his lips and shushed me, telling me to keep quiet. Then he stared into my eyes and told me, 'Xu Xin, don't tell anyone, okay?' I asked him what he meant, and he slapped me across the face and fiercely said, 'Don't tell anyone it was I who set the fire, or else I'll kill you and murder your dad too!'
