Luna de Luzhou

Capítulo 37

Su Chen felt a moment of disorientation, as if she were in a dream again. She could no longer distinguish between reality and illusion. Relying on her memories, if it weren't for He Su Shi's existence, after a few years she might have started to doubt herself, wondering if she had developed delusions and that there was no such thing as time travel at all, and that she was just an ordinary woman from the Song Dynasty.

"I just love her!" the child insisted.

When Su Chen woke up, the expression on the child's face was strangely chilling.

This is a resolute determination to never give up until the goal is achieved.

"Xiao Tian, do you know what it means to like someone? It's not just about liking being with her. Liking the feeling of being with her means wanting to marry her. You like her now, but you might not like her in a few years. This is going to put Sister Banxia in a difficult position."

"People who are meant to be together can be found with just one look!" The child's clear, unchanging voice echoed in the air.

"You can tell at a glance if someone is someone you like! That's what my uncle said! If someone is someone you really like, you can tell at a glance!"

"Even though I'm just a kid, I know I love Sister Banxia, and I'll never love anyone more than her! Sister, I won't change my mind no matter what you say!!"

faint!!

For a moment, Su Chen wished he could drag that so-called uncle out and behead him at the Meridian Gate!

What kind of pervert would instill such ideas in a four- or five-year-old child?! The child knows nothing, understands nothing about reality, only knows how to want what he wants, and insists on what he wants, regardless of whether it is reasonable or not!

If we give in to him this time, what will happen in the future?!

I am a civilized person, I am a civilized person, I want to reason! She softened her voice and tried to be gentle as water, saying, "You like Sister Banxia, but does Sister Banxia like you? If Sister Banxia doesn't like you and has someone else she likes, aren't you just making things difficult for her and making her sad?"

Cui Yantian turned his head away, desperately trying to hold back his tears. His usually crisp voice suddenly became hoarse. "Sister Banxia used to like me a lot, but after what you all said, she ignores me and won't come to see me anymore. Even when she does see me, she's indifferent and barely talks to me..."

It seems Banxia is a sensible child after all. Yes, she deserves a reward. But what should I say? Should I comfort her or what? Xiao Cui, you're only six, and Banxia is already sixteen—a ten-year age difference! I should take this opportunity to discourage him from trying to take advantage of his older sibling, but seeing him like this, I just can't bring myself to say it…

Seeing that she didn't speak, Cui Yantian could only desperately hold back his tears. Su Chen thought for a long time before finally managing to say, "Xiaotian, don't think too much. You're still young."

That's nonsense.

Su Chen sensed it the instant it was spoken.

Clearly, she wasn't the only one who sensed it. Although Cui Yantian was small, it didn't stop him from recognizing what was nonsense, so he cooperated by bursting into tears.

There's a common belief that when children are hurt or upset, they should never be comforted, and they should never be allowed to see family or close relatives. If they can't see them, the child can at most try to bear it, but if a close relative is around and offers a few words of comfort, the child will definitely cry incessantly.

Su Chen had heard this saying before, but he had no experience taking care of children.

So even though she knew from the bloody lessons of those who came before that comforting others was futile, she couldn't help but go up and offer a haphazard string of words of comfort.

Sure enough, Cui Yantian cried even harder!

Young master, stop crying! There are still a lot of people outside! They entrusted you to me, and you've embarrassed me enough, but don't let people think I'm abusing you!!!

Su Chen was helpless. She tried every method she knew to coax a child, and finally agreed to help the child find Banxia, but he still refused to stop crying.

There's really nothing more that can be done...

Then, someone at the door called out impatiently, "What are you crying about again? It sounds awful."

Could this be called "Sichuan Opera Face Changing"?

Su Chen stared wide-eyed at Cui Yantian, whose face was streaked with tears. He wiped his face with both hands, then rushed to the door like the wind, threw himself into the man's arms, and shouted, "Uncle!" The expression on his face immediately changed from grievance and pain to a mixture of surprise and joy.

The newcomer gave her a cheeky smile and said in an equally cheeky tone, "Sister Chen, you've had a hard time. This child has caused you a lot of trouble."

Cui Shiran! You really deserve a beating!!

If you hadn't been so idiotic and insane as to instill this kind of thinking in this child, how could a little kid from the Song Dynasty have such outrageous ideas?! I don't even know how to deal with him anymore!

Cui Yannian buried his head in Cui Shiran's arms and refused to move. Cui Shiran scratched his head and said, "Lift your head up."

"I won't lift it!" came the child's muffled voice.

"Lift it up. Try disobeying and see what happens."

"I..." He raised his face, but a few tears fell again before he could stop them.

"Try crying again."

She quickly wiped away her tears, "I was wrong, I won't cry anymore! Uncle, please don't be angry..."

...

...

Is this how you raise a pet...? Cui Yantian, how much suffering did you endure under this guy to become so well-trained?

Unable to understand... Su Chen subconsciously took two steps back, distancing himself from Cui Shiran.

Chapter 59, Composing Poems

The promoter function is now open! What are you waiting for? Join us now! "How long have you been crying?" Cui Shiran asked deliberately in a soft voice.

Cui Yantian's chubby cheeks trembled, then trembled again: "I only cried for a little while, I held back the whole time, you can ask this older sister if you don't believe me!" His short, chubby little finger pointed at He Suchen.

Faced with their gazes, Su Chen nodded shamelessly. Yes, he had indeed only cried once, although that "once" of crying was earth-shattering.

Cui Shiran snorted coldly, which made Cui Yantian shrink back a few times, looking at Su Chen with pleading eyes.
