Gu Yunshu turned his head in confusion and saw a teenager standing behind them with a gloomy expression, his eyes cold and indifferent, as if they were disturbing his rest or sleep.

But this person… seemed familiar.

He furiously poked his head, trying to recall where he had seen this person before. However, before he could figure it out, the several children suddenly screamed, “Wolf cub, run!”

With that, everyone scattered.

Gu Yunshu was still standing in place, not understanding the meaning of “wolf cub.” Beside him, Chen Jingwen seemed a little scared, but since Gu Yunshu was the one he brought out, he couldn’t just leave him behind. So, he bravely didn’t move his legs.

But secretly, he tugged at Gu Yunshu’s hand and whispered, “Let’s go too.”

“Why?” Gu Yunshu didn’t understand. “They ran away scared, isn’t that good? They won’t snatch my stuff now.”

“But, but…” I’m scared too.

Chen Jingwen tentatively looked up at Shao Qingyuan’s face. When their eyes met, his body couldn’t help but shiver slightly.

Gu Yunshu, on the other hand, remembered who he was. He quickly walked up to Shao Qingyuan and said, “It’s you! What are you doing here? Are you also from this village? It’s such a coincidence. From now on, this will be our designated homestead. My sister said we’ll be able to build a house here soon, and this will be our home. Where is your house?”

Chen Jingwen: “…”

He was now pretending not to know him. Was it possible to pretend that he was in cahoots with the group of children just now and run away in time?

Shao Qingyuan looked at the little radish head in front of him. “What’s your name?”

Chen Jingwen stood still, not daring to move. Inside, he was screaming wildly: Don’t answer, don’t answer at all! If you answer, it means he’s got his eye on you, and you’re done for! I’m telling you, you’re done for!

However…

“My name is Gu Yunshu,” Gu Yunshu said seriously. “Thank you for scaring away those little bandits who bothered us just now.”

Shao Qingyuan chuckled, “I never thought to help you. It’s just a coincidence.”

“Even though you may not have intended to, the result is indeed that they ran away and didn’t bother me anymore. I benefited from it. My sister said, this counts as… um, indirect help.”

“Indirect help?” Shao Qingyuan seemed pensive. Last time in the capital, those two constables also didn’t bother him after seeing that girl. The situation now was quite similar.

Shao Qingyuan didn’t say anything more and turned to leave.

Gu Yunshu wanted to catch up and chat with him, but as soon as he took a step, Chen Jingwen grabbed him fiercely, whispering firmly, “Come back. You. Come. Back.”

Gu Yunshu hesitated for a moment. Shao Qingyuan had already turned the corner and disappeared from view.

Gu Yunshu felt regretful. “Why did you pull me back? I haven’t finished talking yet.”

“Do you know him?”

As soon as this was mentioned, Gu Yunshu became somewhat excited. “You don’t know. Last time I saw him kick like this, he kicked over a constable.”

“Gasp…” Chen Jingwen sucked in a cold breath. “He, he actually dared to lay hands on constables? Indeed, a wolf cub is a wolf cub.”

“Wolf cub? Why do you all call him a wolf cub and look so afraid of him? Isn’t he quite handsome?”

Could it be that these people had some issues with their sense of beauty, as Big Sister mentioned? What should he do then? He thought he was quite handsome too. Would the people here think he was ugly instead?
