"Have you been anywhere lately? It feels like I haven't seen you in days."

"Ah? Are you asking me, young master?"

When Xiaodong heard Jinnian ask him this, he was stunned.

There was a bit of confusion on Jinnian's face. From his perspective, he hadn't seen the other person for many days.

Xiaodong was seen carrying a bag on his back, and he explained to Jinnian with a smile: "I haven't seen the young master for many days!"

"The young master has been very busy lately. He's been to the Huo family, to Master Fo, and even to Master Ba to play. He's been traveling everywhere, but he hasn't come back to see me, Xiaodong!"

When Jinnian realized what was happening, a flush suddenly appeared on his face.

Yes, it’s not that Xiaodong appears less often, but that he himself appears less often. After coming back from the suburbs, he went to Peking, then to Mr. Fo’s house, then to the Huo Mansion, and to Mr. Ba’s house... The time he spent at home was very short, even less than the time he spent out.

This means that he has very little time to see his family. The time and frequency of his visits to his brother, Chenpi, Uncle Fu, and Xiaodong have all decreased, so much so that even he has noticed it. It's as if there is an invisible hand behind them, pushing everyone forward.

"Young Master, please wait here for a while. Uncle Fu is calling me. He must be looking for something. I'll be right back!"

Xiaodong seemed to have seen something. He waved from a distance, said something to Jinnian, and walked towards the side yard.

"Uncle Fu, are you looking for me?"

"Well, it's me who asked you to take the young master with you. Can you be smart? If not, I'll just let someone else go!"

"Oh, Uncle Fu! How can you not trust me? I am the most powerful one. Besides, who else can you trust to take care of the young master besides me?"

"You are the only one who is smart!"

Uncle Fu scolded with a smile, then turned serious, grabbed Xiaodong, twisted his shoulders, and stopped laughing: "You have to cheer up and know what to say and what not to say. It's best to tell Chenpi first, so that the young master doesn't see anything he shouldn't see and get scared again."

"Okay, okay, I know."

Xiaodong stopped smiling and solemnly followed Uncle Fu's promise.

Uncle Fu looked at Xiaodong's confident look and always felt that this kid was of the same type as the young master, very simple. He estimated that Xiaodong and the young master together were not as cunning as Chenpi alone. If you wanted to know why, it was just that he felt this way.

Looking at Xiaodong's back, Uncle Fu stroked his forehead, feeling something was not right. How could the kid he had raised be so innocent? Just going there obediently would not work...

"Young Master!"

"Young Master!"

Jinnian turned around and tilted his head as he looked at the person jogging towards him with a small bag on his back.

"What did Uncle Fu say?"

"Ah...ah, this, just let me take good care of you! That's all, nothing else."

"Yeah?"

Jinnian looked at him in confusion, not knowing why he was so nervous, and just helped him hold the bag up.

He looked at Xiaodong who was walking in front of him and helping him stop a car, and pointed at the sign on the other's waist.

"what is this?"

"Ah? This is the sign of the market. It will make it easier for us to go in."

That was given by Uncle Fu. The young master rarely went to the market, and he himself was a newcomer, so it was inevitable that someone would find fault with him. Just in case, Uncle Fu gave a sign so that people who didn't know them would think twice.

"It's useful. Do you want to take a look, young master?"

"No, I think I've seen it before."

At Chenpi's place, he also had a similar one on his waist, but the style and color were slightly different.
