Chen Xiaowan pouted.

"As long as you know I won't lie to you."

Chen Xiaowan immediately glared at Su Xuan and left dissatisfied.

"Bad guy, bastard."

Before leaving, she cursed in a low voice.

Su Xuan: "..." In the next few days, Chen Xiaowan will visit Su Xuan on time.

Sometimes I brought steamed buns, sometimes I didn't.

She worked tirelessly to please Su Xuan and never tired of it.

This day.

Chen Xiaowan rushed in hastily.

"Sir, sir..." she shouted.

Su Xuan's lips twitched, knowing that Heroine Chen Xiaowan was going to act like a monster again.

"how?"

Su Xuan replied calmly.

"Can you write?"

Chen Xiaowan looked expectant.

"meeting."

"Then how about you teach me."

Chen Xiaowan suddenly shouted in surprise.

Today she went to the town and saw the academy that made her daunted. The children wearing thick cotton-padded jackets shouted "Sir, Mr.". Chen Xiaowan couldn't be more envious.

"Yes, yes."

Su Xuan looked at Chen Xiaowan suspiciously, wondering why Chen Xiaowan was so crazy.

No matter how Su Xuan looked at it, he didn't think that this crazy girl would study seriously.

"Wow, sir, you are so kind."

Chen Xiaowan hugged Su Xuan and kissed him.

Then, she said seriously: "Sir, can you teach me how to write my name?"

"Can."

Su Xuan took a wooden stick and wrote on the dust on the side.

"etc."

Chen Xiaowan suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong?"

"Teach me how to write Chen Dawan first."

"Why?"

Su Xuan's face darkened.

"Xiaowan is too small. I want to be bigger. As the widow aunt next door said, men like big ones."

Chen Xiaowan looked yearning.

Su Xuan: "..." So.

Heroine Chen Dawan began her career in reading and writing.

One month in a row.

Chen Xiaowan is extremely positive.

Sometimes I get tired of being around Su Xuan for several days in a row.

Su Xuan also asked about her family, but Chen Xiaowan only said that her father often went out hunting and was not at home.

Su Xuan keenly felt a trace of sadness in the little girl's eyes, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Later, Su Xuan noticed that the little girl was getting thinner and thinner, so he refused to eat the steamed buns she brought.

Only then did Su Xuan realize that the life at Chen Xiaowan's family was not bad, but very bad... on this day.

As usual.

But the little ruined temple welcomed a little guest.

This is a little girl, about the same age as Chen Xiaowan.

Su Xuan remembers that his name was Xiaoru, and he had a very good relationship with Chen Xiaowan.

I saw Xiaoru standing far away, a little scared, but looking at Su Xuan fiercely.

"Bad guy, don't eat Xiaowan's steamed buns anymore. She got them through hard work! As an adult, you shouldn't do this..." Xiaoru yelled, and then ran away in fear.

Su Xuan was startled.

But soon, he felt as if he had overlooked something.

Maybe... the little girl who lives with him in this small courtyard every day is an orphan.

Su Xuan couldn't help but ask: "Xiaoru, where is Xiaowan's father and mother?"

"Xiaowan's father died while hunting, and my mother ran away with someone. Stop bullying her!"

Xiaoru shouted something from a distance and disappeared.

Su Xuan trembled and his face turned pale.

This day.

Su Xuan stared into the distance, motionless and silent for a long time.

It's approaching evening.

Chen Xiaowan is back.

Her big eyes looked a little tired.

But as soon as she walked into the courtyard, her eyes showed happiness and a little pride.

"Sir, I want to learn ten words today."

Chen Xiaowan smiled.

Su Xuan was startled and came back to his senses.

He put away the strange look on his face, shook his head and said, "I'm tired today, so I won't teach anymore."

Chen Xiaowan immediately pouted and sat next to Su Xuan.

"Sir, you are an adult and cannot be so lazy."

Chen Xiaowan complained.

I don't know since when, Chen Xiaowan forgot to ask Su Xuan to teach him how to survive both hunger and cold.

I don’t know since when, Chen Xiaowan got used to sitting next to Su Xuan and got used to Su Xuan’s breath.

"Xiaowan, do you have any wishes?"

Su Xuan suddenly asked.

"desire?"

Chen Xiaowan looked confused.

"Just what do you want?"

Su Xuan touched Xiaowan's head. She was so young that she didn't even know what her wish was.

"I want to have steamed buns to eat every day."

Chen Xiaowan said subconsciously.

"What about bigger wishes?"

Su Xuan twitched the corner of his mouth.

“I’ll have steamed buns to eat all my life.”

Chen Xiaowan looked yearning.

Su Xuan was speechless.

OK.

Chen Nuxia, you and Steamed Bun are at loggerheads, right?
