Chapter 420 - 377, Confucian Kong Qiu
Li Er stood in the courtyard, hands clasped behind his back, gazing at the sky where the myriad of stars were outshone by the particularly twinkling Red Bird Star.
Tu Shan Xi Yu walked out from the house and asked in puzzlement, "Where is Bai Jin?"
"I sent him to do something."
Tu Shan Xi Yu walked over to Li Er’s side and involuntarily glanced around before whispering, "Big Brother Dan, for future matters let Duobao handle more. He seems to be free all the time, idling away and just living off us without contributing.
Bai Jin is much better than Duobao. Back when we still lived in the village, Bai Jin often helped me out with chores and he would always praise you in front of me. Today, he even persuaded you for my sake; he truly cares about us.
But Duobao is different. He doesn’t say a word all day and seems rather ominous. Even though he’s broad and chubby, he doesn’t appear to be a good person. You need to be careful around him."
Li Er smiled and said, "Alright!"
He turned around and looked earnestly at Tu Shan Xi Yu, asking, "Xi Yu, are you sure you want to follow me?"
Tu Shan Xi Yu nodded repeatedly, looking at Li Er anxiously, wondering if he was going to send her away. She urgently said, "Big Brother Dan, I’ve already committed to Dead Wood Spring."
Li Er spoke slowly, "If you stay, it means we are destined to have an entanglement for one lifetime, but only one lifetime."
Tu Shan Xi Yu immediately exclaimed, "I am willing!"
"I know you, Big Brother Dan, are fated to become a Saint; I dare not ask for too much, only wish to grow old with you."
