Chapter 1003: Chapter 1007: Ye Xiaobei, Don’t Be Afraid Chapter 1003: Chapter 1007: Ye Xiaobei, Don’t Be Afraid As one ages, they grow fond of planting flowers, raising birds, playing chess.

Gu Junzhu had done all that for the Senior Master.

In this back yard, the trees were verdant, the flowers were clustered like brocades, splendid in their purple and red hues, and there were two lively Brother Lius, as well as a pavilion by the lake where you could play chess.

Gu Junzhu would accompany the Senior Master for morning exercise and chess in the evening. During his free time, the Senior Master would tend to the flowers and tease the birds, living a life that seemed to be straight out of an earthly paradise.

Ye Xingbei liked it very much.

When she stepped into this place, time seemed to slow down. The noise of the world receded, leaving her heart filled with peace and tranquility.

This was… her home.

How wonderful!

Seeing Ye Xingbei approaching, Senior Master Gu and Gu Junzhu stopped their exercise in succession.

Senior Master Gu greeted Ye Xingbei with a warm smile, “Beibei has come.”

Ye Xingbei felt a bit embarrassed, “I woke up too late.”

“It’s fine for girls with fragile health to sleep in. The humidity is heavy in the morning, not suitable for girls to exercise,” the Senior Master considerately made excuses for Ye Xingbei.

Ye Xingbei bit her lip and smiled shyly.

The Senior Master said, “We’ve also just about finished our exercise, let’s go, it’s time to eat.”

He waved at Lingyue and Xiao Shumiao, “Xiao Yue, Xiao Shu, let’s go, it’s time to eat.”

“Coming!” Xiao Shumiao immediately ended his practice upon hearing “it’s time to eat,” and trotted over to the Senior Master, taking his hand, “Grandpa, what are we eating this morning?”

“Whatever Xiao Shu likes, that’s what we’ll have,” the Senior Master said affectionately, pinching his little cheek, “We’ll make sure our little sapling is fed well until plump and fair-skinned.”

“No, no!” Xiao Shumiao looked up with his tender little bun-like face, saying very seriously to the Senior Master, “Grandpa, you can just make me fair, don’t make me chubby. If I get chubby, I won’t look good. I want to be someone who doesn’t get fat no matter how much I eat!”

Senior Master Gu laughed heartily at this, “Alright, alright, Grandpa will make sure our little sapling is fair, not chubby.”

Gu Junzhu held Ye Xingbei’s hand and chuckled softly, “Isn’t this your ultimate dream?”

Ye Xingbei pinched his palm, “Go away!”

“Don’t worry, you have nothing to fear, Ye Xiaobei. Even if you get fat, I won’t dislike you,” Gu Junzhu’s gaze swept across her chest: “I’ve heard that when people gain weight, that part grows too. Although you’re already quite large, I don’t mind if it gets a bit bigger.”

Ye Xingbei quickly glanced at Senior Master Gu and the two children, realizing the Senior Master was leading the children in laughter on either side, not paying attention to her and Gu Junzhu, she then felt relieved.

She elbowed Gu Junzhu, “Shut up, aren’t you afraid of the Senior Master overhearing?”

“Student Ye Xiaobei, have you forgotten what I used to do?” Fifth Lord of Gu said with pride: “I come from a special forces background. Don’t you think I’d lack such observational skills?”

Ye Xingbei: “…May I ask how you can flaunt being able to use your special forces skills like this without shame?”

“Where have I used it? I was just expressing my heartfelt feelings to my woman. I haven’t gone flower-picking!” Gu Junzhu gave her a sidelong glance, his eyes shimmering, radiantly handsome.

Ye Xingbei, dazzled by his striking beauty, felt her head spin as she remarked, “You’re lucky you haven’t been flower-picking. Otherwise, with that face of yours, if you entered a girl’s boudoir, you wouldn’t even have to force anything. Just let the girl take a few more glances at you, and I bet she’d lie down and let you do whatever you want.”
