At four o'clock, the class ended, and the three of them sat in the carriage waiting.
The gate opened, and the students bid farewell to their teacher, leaving in small groups, chatting and laughing as they departed.
Yu Chunmiao lifted the curtain to look out and finally spotted Qi Rong leading Lu Zhi Xun out, surrounded by six or seven children. Each of them showed respect towards Qi Rong, calling him "Brother Rong" enthusiastically.
The two stopped in front of the carriage, and Qi Rong addressed the group of students: "Whether you're out collecting bird nests or playing with slingshots, don't let it interfere with your studies. Sing the song I taught you one more time."
The children chorused: "Little Xiao Er Lang..."
Yu Chunmiao felt a shadow pass over her head; was this what it meant to be the big brother?
Lu Ziyan nudged Qi Chong's shoulder and said, "Your little brother is just like you were back then."
In front of Yu Chunmiao, Qi Chong didn't want to bring up any embarrassing childhood stories. He discreetly shot Lu Ziyan a glance.
Lu Ziyan covered his face and immediately fell silent.
Yu Chunmiao focused on looking outside, ignoring their conversation.
Once the song ended, Qi Rong confidently declared, "Anyone who can't recite 'Encouragement to Study' tomorrow won't be allowed to fish with us next time. Now, everyone go home."
The group of younger boys agreed eagerly as Qi Rong stepped onto the carriage seat and helped Lu Zhi Xun up.
Turning around, he saw Yu Chunmiao peeking in with a bright smile on her face.
"Sister-in-law!" Qi Rong lifted the carriage curtain and jumped into Yu Chunmiao's arms, shedding a couple of tears. "Sister-in-law, why did it take you so long to come see me? I missed you so much."
Yu Chunmiao gently rubbed his head and said, "It's only been a month since we last met, and you've already become a school bully. But you're a good bully—one who doesn't pick on others."
Qi Chong cleared his throat and coldly said, "Get up!"
Only then did Qi Rong notice that his older brother was also there and turned to leap into Qi Chong's embrace.
"Big brother, I missed you!"
"Get off me!" Qi Chong replied with irritation. "Do you want your classmates to see how clingy you are?"
Lu Zhi Xun had already settled beside Uncle Qi, grinning as he watched Qi Rong.
Qi Rong spoke nasally, "Xun Er, I wasn't crying just now; I was happy."
Lu Zhi Xun nodded vigorously. "Yes! Brother, I didn't cry! Xun Er won't say anything."
Qi Chong let out a scoff, too proud to admit his vulnerability. Once the carriage started moving, Yu Chunmiao took Qi Rong down from the vehicle, saying she would take him to see her cousin. Since it was a family visit, Lu Ziyan did not stop them.
“Brother, come back soon!” Lu Zhi Xun looked at Qi Rong with reluctance.
Qi Rong held his hand and reassured him, “I’ll be back shortly. Xun Er, make sure to drink your milk tonight so you can grow strong like me.”
The three of them found Yu Wei and treated him to a meal. However, this time there was no alcohol, as he had to go back to the shop after dinner. After dropping Qi Rong off at the Lu Residence, Yu Chunmiao began her plan to explore the shops.
Ever since Qi Chong had injured his leg, he had changed completely. Yu Chunmiao often walked in front of him, moving backward as she went. Qi Chong crossed his arms and strolled leisurely with long strides, exuding an effortless charm that made him appear both handsome and relaxed.
He felt his face flush under Yu Chunmiao's affectionate gaze and covered his smile with a fist against his nose. Yu Chunmiao felt secure walking backward because Qi Chong was always there to protect her from any danger—be it a person, a carriage, or even the burdens carried by street vendors.
As they continued walking like this, Qi Chong's handsome face suddenly darkened. Before Yu Chunmiao could react, he had already pulled her behind him.
