Chapter 104: Pride Is a Useless Thing
The boy was quiet for a long moment, then stepped forward and accepted the bamboo container, saying with a serious expression, "Thank you, brother."
Then he turned to Little Yingzi, who was visibly younger than him, and bowed his head, "Thank you, elder sister."
He left Little Yingzi's face bright red, then turned and fled.
Li Qiuchen was also about to go back, when the boy grabbed hold of him, "Brother, you still haven't told me what the other possibilities are!"
Li Qiuchen shook his head and said, "I think your skin is still too thin. It wouldn't be appropriate to say."
"It's not that thin, actually. Please tell me, brother!"
"Eat your fill first. Then we'll talk."
The boy had been practicing the sword since childhood and was someone with genuine perseverance.
For several days running, Li Qiuchen saw him sitting directly across from the county school gate, clutching the bamboo container and slowly working his way through the frozen sesame cakes, one bite at a time.
