Chapter 163 Safe Return (2/2)

Yan Yu turned around, his unfathomable eyes staring at him, cold and calm.

"There are many people and a lot of eyes at the educated youth settlement."

“You just came back from hunting, you were injured, but you did a great job. Now everyone’s eyes are on you. You have to go back first.”

His gaze fell on Yu Hao's face, which was covered in blood and tears, and his voice deepened.

"You did a good job today."

This compliment was like a warm current, instantly bringing tears to Yu Hao's eyes.

“But,” Yan Yu’s tone suddenly turned serious, “remember my words: speak less, do more. Listen more, observe more. If you can’t figure something out, keep it to yourself, don’t ask questions, and definitely don’t talk nonsense.”

"Got it?"

Yu Hao stared blankly at his brother.

His mind was still a mess, but he knew that every word his brother said was teaching him how to survive.

He nodded with all his might.

"Go."

Seeing that he had taken it to heart, Yan Yu said no more and turned to walk towards his own courtyard.

Yu Hao stood there, watching his brother's tall and straight figure disappear into the alleyway. Only then did he exhale a long breath of foul air, which smelled of blood, turn around, and take heavy steps toward the educated youth settlement.

………………………………

Just as Yan Yu reached the gate of his own courtyard, the wooden door creaked open from the inside.

Ruan Tang stood behind the door.

She was wearing a soft, off-white sweater, which made her small face look fair and rosy, so tender and delicate that it seemed like you could pinch water out of it.

She didn't say anything, just stood there, her big, watery almond-shaped eyes scanning him up and down, more carefully than a searchlight.

The overwhelming stench of blood emanating from Yan Yu was palpable.

Ruan Tang's brows immediately furrowed.

She stretched out her fair little hand and grabbed Yan Yu's cold big hand. Then she stood on tiptoe, like a kitten checking its mate returning home, sniffing here and there on him.

Finally, she pulled open his torn sleeve with her small hand and carefully checked that there were no wounds inside.

Only after confirming that the bloodstains on him belonged to someone else did she breathe a sigh of relief, and her tense little face instantly relaxed.

She took his cold, large hand in her own, wrapped it in her two soft, warm hands, like holding a precious hand warmer, and pulled him into the yard.

"Squeak!"

A white shadow darted out of the house, like a small cannonball.

Little White circled around Yan Yu's trouser leg anxiously, its silvery little ears twitching incessantly, and its little nose sniffing intensely.

When it smelled the strong stench of blood, all the fur on its body stood on end!

Bad guy! Some damned bad guy bullied the male owner! And made him come back smelling terrible! What if the little master gets bothered by the stench!

It squeaked angrily and its two tiny mithril claws scurried up Yan Yu's legs, determined to find the "wound" and then take revenge!

Yan Yu was amused by its dramatic antics, so he bent down and picked it up.

Little White squirmed in his palm, but as soon as it saw its little master holding its master's hand with such tenderness, it immediately stopped fussing.

snort!

For the sake of my little master, I, the great mouse, will let you go today!

However, you must take good care of yourself. If you dare to get hurt and make your little master sad, I, the great mouse, will be the first to not forgive you!

Yan Yu felt the soft warmth of the little girl in his palm, and looked at the little thing in his palm who had such a vivid inner monologue. The cold and violent feeling that arose in his heart due to killing was instantly dispelled.

My whole body felt warm inside and out.

His little girl is worried about him. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
