Early the next morning.

When Lu Yanting woke up, he saw himself holding Pei Yanche, who had already woken up. He avoided looking at Lu Yan.

"I... I don't know... how..." Pei Yanche stammered, not knowing how to explain why he was lying here as soon as he woke up.

Lu Yan couldn't help but laugh. "You are so cute. Why are you still waiting for me so late? Don't you know to go to bed early?"

"So I carried you in." Lu Yan explained. He was afraid of scaring the child. "Don't worry, you didn't sleepwalk up here by yourself."

Lu Yan rubbed his head and said, "Okay, get up and wash up. It's already late."

"Host, it is already 10 o'clock in the morning."

Lu Yan: "Oh, it's only ten o'clock. No... I remember my elder brother told us to go to the martial arts training ground early last night."

"Xiao Che, get up quickly. Go find Zhi Jing and find something to eat. Don't worry about me." Lu Yan turned over and got up. He put on his clothes and ran to the martial arts training ground without even having time to wash up.

Lu Yutong was already running around the martial arts training ground, panting. He stopped when he saw Lu Yan coming. "Huh~ You're finally here. You know... my brother told me to keep running... until you come."

Lu Yan smiled awkwardly and supported Lu Yutong, "I'm sorry, Third Brother, I accidentally overslept and forgot about this."

Lu Jingyuan coughed twice beside him and said, "Stand still."

Lu Yan turned around and stood up. "Yes, brother."

"Let's run." Lu Jingyuan said and left. "Supervisor Lu Yutong, 20 laps. You are not allowed to eat if you don't finish it."

"Got it." Lu Yan replied, resigned to his fate and started running.

After Lu Yutong finished running, he looked at Lu Yan with a gloating look on his face and said, "Come on, Xiaoyan."

Lu Yan didn't have time to pay attention to him. After running halfway, he felt a little exhausted and didn't want to think about eating anymore because he no longer felt hungry.

He ran slowly and left with Lu Yutong only after he finished running.

"No, I'm going back." Lu Yan panted, "You go back by yourself."

He limped away. Lu Yutong's physical condition was much better than Lu Yan's, and he had recovered now.

He returned to his yard, where Pei Yanche and Zhijing had already prepared food.

"That's great." Lu Yan sat down at the table. "I'm really starving."

Zhi Jing already knew the whole story. "The young master said that we should give you a bath after you finish running, so the bath water is already boiled."

"Let's go soak in the water for a while after eating." Zhi Jing and Lu Yan said.

"Ah."

Pei Yanche hadn't said much since Lu Yan came in, but his eyes were always on Lu Yan, which made Lu Yan feel a little embarrassed. "Why are you looking at me? Eat quickly."

In order to wait for Lu Yan to come back for dinner, they haven't eaten yet.

Zhi Jing had already started eating without any hesitation. Pei Yanche ate just like Lu Yan, without any rush or impatience even when he was very hungry.

After Lu Yan was full, he fell asleep while taking a bath because it was too comfortable.

When he woke up, he found Pei Yanche was silently adding hot water to him. "If you add more, my body will be swollen."

Pei Yanche then stopped and said, "I'm afraid the water will get cold."

Knowing that Pei Yanche couldn't get him out by himself, "Where is Zhijingren?"

"He went out." Pei Yanche said, "The second young master called him away, but I don't know where he went."

Lu Yan nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, I see."

"Uh-huh."

"Okay, then let's go out today, just the two of us." Lu Yan came out of the bathtub. Pei Yanche hurriedly looked away and listened to the sound of Lu Yan putting on his clothes.

"Let's go."

Lu Yan pulled Pei Yanche up and said, "Go out for a walk."

Before leaving, he went back to the room and got a cloak for both of them.

"It's really cold today."

Lu Jingyuan still let them off the hook and just let them run. If it were in the past, it wouldn't be as simple as running.

"Master, where are we going?"

Lu Yan blinked mysteriously and said, "You'll know when the time comes."

The system said that Pei Yanche's hometown is quite far from here, and today is the day for everyone to reunite, and it is very lively.

Pei Yanche must have missed it too, so Lu Yan took him out alone to see the lanterns and watch the performances during the day.

Magic and acrobatic performances were popular at that time. As for places like dance halls, I was really embarrassed to bring people there.

The child was indeed interested in these things. Although Lu Yan could see that he was very restrained, he could still tell from his expression and actions that Pei Yanche was very happy.

They all seemed very excited about these performances.

"Let's go, there's some special snacks for sale over there, let's go take a look."

"Yeah." Pei Yanche looked at Lu Yan with red cheeks.

Lu Yan and the others sat down in the house and ordered a lot of food. "Let's all try it. If it's delicious, take some back and share it with everyone."

"Well, bring some for Brother Zhijing."

Only at this moment can one see Pei Yanche's childhood. His previous cautious look has been replaced by his current excitement.

"Eat it while it's hot." Lu Yan picked up some food for him.

"it is good."

Seeing the other person enjoying the meal, Lu Yan was also happy.

"So this is the fun of raising other people's children. It's much more fun than raising your own children, and they are obedient." Lu Yan raised his eyebrows and watched Pei Yanche eat.

"How cute." Lu Yan's fatherly love overflowed.

"Master, don't you want to eat?"

"Eat, eat more." Lu Yan picked up some more for him.

"I can't eat anymore." Pei Yanche refused.

"Ah."

After filling their stomachs, Lu Yan and he went out. It was not yet dark.

Before Lu Yan left, he told Lu Jingyuan that he would watch the lantern festival outside and would not go back for dinner.

"Let's go, let's go to the lantern festival and take a look." Lu Yan took Pei Yanche towards the lantern festival.

"I remember it should be just in front." Lu Yan had just walked past it. He knew what the streets looked like now, but he had walked past it several times and still couldn't tell them apart.

Pei Yanche looked at Lu Yan and pointed in a direction, "Go that way."

"Really?" Lu Yan half-believed and half-doubted and walked in the direction he pointed. "I remember not going this way, but the road we just took."

“I just walked that road.”

"is it?"

But the road Pei Yanche pointed out was indeed the right one, and they got out soon.

Lu Yan smiled and looked at him. "Then I'll have to trouble you to show me the way in the future. I always have trouble finding the way."

Pei Yanche looked at him seriously and said, "Well, I will lead the way for you in the future."

"Yeah." Lu Yan raised his hand and touched his head. "Let's go. I've seen all kinds of lights. Once it gets dark, we'll probably be able to see how beautiful they are."

"Yeah." Pei Yanche held Lu Yan's hand tightly.

Lu Yan never took this promise to heart, but he didn't know that someone had remembered it for a lifetime.
