The world is broken, the cubs mend it

The weather was cool after the rain, so Yuanyuan wore thicker clothes and played blind man's game in the yard.

Pei Zhiyan was reviewing memorials in the main hall when he heard children laughing outside.

She was the only one in the yard who dared to laugh out loud.

While Caizhi and Xiaofuzi were coaxing her, they kept their voices down for fear of disturbing the people inside.

Wu Xian would come to pick up the reviewed memorials. Looking at the children playing in the yard, a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Finally I see you smile. You must be so happy to have your palm print back, right?"

Maybe it's because I like her and I think she's quite cute when she smiles.

“I’m not happy…”

Yuanyuan immediately retorted that she didn’t want her old father to know that she missed him.

"Really? Your mouth is stretched to the back of your ears."

Wu Xian didn't know what happened between her and Zhang Yin. She was obviously very happy but she had to hide it.

"..."

Yuanyuan immediately covered her mouth and stopped smiling with a stern face.

"come over!"

Wu Xian waved at her, and seeing her coming over hesitantly, he took out a candy man and handed it to her like a magic trick.

"Thank you!"

Yuanyuan took it happily. It was in the shape of a little rabbit and looked very lifelike.

Children are easy to please. They are as happy as if it were New Year's Day when they see a sugar man. They jump around the yard with joy holding it.

The atmosphere in the courtyard and the hall were completely different. Once you entered the house, everything around you became cold again.

Wu Xian bowed to him and left with the sealed memorial.

"Wait!"

As soon as he reached the door, Pei Zhiyan called him.

"What has she done these days? Tell me in detail."

"Yes!"

Wu Xian repeated in detail what the children had done during the days when he was away.

Actually, it’s nothing. Apart from eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, I just miss him.

“Palm Seal, I checked this child’s background, and it’s all blank, it’s like he appeared out of thin air.

I have carefully observed him these past few days, and he is just an ordinary child, nothing special about him."

"Um…"

After listening to the child's daily life for three days, Pei Zhiyan did not show any change in emotion, but just responded faintly.

After Wu Xian left, the corners of his lips slowly rose and he felt happy.

Yuanyuan walked around outside for a while, then went into the house holding the sugar man, intending to show it to her old father.

A cold figure stood in front of a long desk with a pen in hand. A piece of rice paper was spread on the table, and Pei Zhiyan was painting.

The slightly thin child in the painting is standing on a carpet with intricate patterns, holding a pillow, with a timid look in his eyes like a little rabbit.

At this moment, the person in the painting was standing in front of him holding a sugar man, standing on tiptoe to see what he was painting.

Pei Zhiyan walked up to her, hugged her for the first time, and let her see the painting he had made.

“Is this a picture of me?”

Yuanyuan held the sugar man in one hand, leaned over and pointed at the painting with the other hand.

The child loves to move around, and the candy man in his hand keeps shaking.

Just as Pei Zhiyan was about to open his mouth, the sugar man's ears were stuffed into his mouth.

Not getting a response from the old man, Yuanyuan turned to look at him, and her excited expression froze in an instant.

Time seemed to be frozen, and a silent loud noise was heard between the two of them.

"You stole my candy man!"

"I don't!"

Pei Zhiyan had never been so panicked as he was now, and in desperation he bit off the rabbit's ears.

"Ahh...bad daddy...my sugar...wuah...human...ah..."

Yuanyuan looked at her incomplete sugar man and burst into tears.

Before she could even take a bite, it was bitten to pieces by the bad father.

"not me……"

The child cried loudly and struggled to get out of his arms.

Pei Zhiyan was afraid of hurting her by using too much force, so he had to put her on the ground first.

"It's you, I...I saw you eating...mmmm..."

Yuanyuan cried and complained, and ran out holding the broken sugar man

"Be careful, I didn't eat it, you fed me."

Pei Zhiyan hurriedly chased after him and followed him all the way to the yard.

"I didn't feed you, you lied..."

This made Yuanyuan very angry, and she stared at him with tears in her eyes.

I was holding it in my hand, and he started eating it the next moment.

"I don't…"

Pei Zhiyan hadn't even spit out the candy in his mouth yet, and now he was caught red-handed.

Without a third person present, he would not be able to explain it even if he had a thousand mouths.

Xiao Fuzi and Caizhi probably understood what was going on.

In this situation, it was hard for them to believe that the Master Seal was innocent.

"You have!"

Yuanyuan cried so hard. Seeing that her bad father did something wrong and refused to admit it, she stomped her feet twice in anger.

The palace maids nearby saw Pei Zhiyan and did not dare to step forward to comfort him.

"..."

He sighed, stepped forward and picked up the child again.

"Okay, I'll eat it, okay?"

“It was…”

Yuanyuan sniffed, and when she saw him admit his mistake, she cried more quietly and put the remaining corner of the candy man into her mouth and chewed it.

"Don't cry, I'll buy you a new one tomorrow."

Pei Zhiyan raised his hand to wipe the tears from her face.

After two confrontations, he realized that he couldn't use force against her and could only live in peace by following her wishes.

"That...that...is fine too..." Yuanyuan ate the candy man in her mouth and looked at him with tears in her eyes: "Just tell me next time you want to eat it, don't eat it secretly, it's not like I won't let you eat it."

"I didn't steal..." Pei Zhiyan saw that she was about to cry again, so he had to change his words: "I won't steal food next time, okay?"

People around who listened to the conversation between the father and daughter all felt like they were hallucinating.

Is this something the Master Seal would say?

It's totally out of character for him!

"Well, that's what a good father is."

Yuanyuan nodded and finally stopped crying.

"I'm not your father!"

Pei Zhiyan's tone was a little lonely, and he carried her into the house.

It is impossible for him to have children. Although this child is good, he will not deceive himself.

"You are!"

Yuanyuan's tone was very firm.

"Do you know who I am?"

Pei Zhiyan took her to the second floor. The surroundings were very quiet and no one could hear what they said.

"man…"

Yuanyuan can distinguish the most basic gender.

"No, I'm not really a man. I'm a eunuch. I can't have children."

Pei Zhiyan lowered his eyes and looked at her, seemingly explaining to her, but in fact he was warning himself not to have any delusional thoughts and not to covet things that did not belong to him.

The scabbed scar was torn open, revealing another bloody wound.

"I am your child, and you and I are a family."

Yuanyuan didn’t know what a eunuch was, she only knew that he was her father.

"..."

This sentence still touched Pei Zhiyan. The word "family" meant a lot to him.

Apart from her, no one else in this world would say that they are willing to be his family member.

"Don't call me dad from now on. Follow them and call me Palm Seal. You can live here as long as I'm alive."

If you get involved with a person as evil as him, you will not end up well.

Yuanyuan passed the half-eaten candy figure to his mouth: "I'll give you another bite."

"It's all your saliva, I won't eat it."

Pei Zhiyan looked at her with disdain. She was about to die after taking a bite just now, but now she was suddenly willing to let him eat it.

It's really confusing.

"eat…"

Yuanyuan put the candy man towards his mouth, and ate it secretly when he was not allowed to eat it, and refused to eat it when he was given it.

The old man is really weird...
