Chapter 961 -961: Old He Appears Again
Di Hongyuan hurriedly stepped forward to stand between the two.
“Third Brother, this matter truly can’t be blamed on Chou Chou. If anything, it can be considered a blessing in disguise, saving us from taking many wrong turns.”
“Big brother, ‘to not teach a child is the father’s fault, to teach without strictness is the teacher’s laziness.’ Chou Chou is not only your nephew but also your student. You must be strict with him. If at such a young age he doesn’t learn to behave, and you do not discipline him now, it will be too late to control him when he is older,” Di Yelei said in a tone heavy with earnestness.
Di Hongyuan was otherwise fine, but he was just too indulgent with children!
“Third Brother, don’t be anxious, let me finish what I have to say. Then tell me if it makes sense,” Di Hongyuan still refused to budge.
Di Yelei felt rather helpless: “Big brother, what is it you want to say?”
“Chou Chou is still young, clearly a child who cannot sit still. If you discipline him, this sprightly nature is likely hard to change. If not, at his age, he is already so cunning, it might be better to let him start learning martial arts early. If he is fortunate enough to succeed, he could inherit your mantle and go to the battlefield. Wouldn’t that be an ideal situation?”
Hearing this, Chou Chou’s eyes immediately shone brightly.
“Eldest Uncle, Chou Chou wants to learn martial arts, Chou Chou wants to go to the battlefield and kill enemies, just like Daddy was brave!” He completely forgot he was supposed to be reflecting and excitedly waved his arms around.
“No, under no circumstances can this be mentioned again!”
Di Yelei’s face suddenly turned fierce, not showing the slightest sign of relaxing.
“Do you think fighting a war is so easy? That’s a life where your head hangs by a thread on your waistband. No, absolutely not!”
“Dad, Chou Chou likes fighting, Chou Chou wants to learn martial arts!” Chou Chou argued with reason.
Everyone standing beside him broke into a sweat on his behalf.
“Silence! Go back to your room and copy the ‘Three Character Classic’ one hundred times. Get out!” Di Yelei started to drive him out directly.
Chou Chou, still wanting to argue but seeing Di Yelei’s face had changed, slowly bowed his head in total dejection: “Oh…”
As he spoke, he slowly turned and walked towards the outside.
Suddenly, Di Yelei remembered another matter: “Wait, didn’t you say your lifesaver also left a baggage? Go get it and hand it to me. When I find them, I will personally go to thank them and return their belongings.”
“Oh… I’ll go fetch it from my room.”
Chou Chou reluctantly trudged back to his room.
Once Chou Chou left, everyone at the center of the scene relaxed quite a bit. They continued to chat for a while, eager to hear if there had been any good news during his absence from Wanzhou Prefecture in the past two days.
“The governor was very cooperative, everything that needed to be inspected was checked by the people led by Prince Luo. However, it seems that Prince Luo faced obstruction from unidentified persons, and we didn’t learn the specific reasons. As for the search for your sister-in-law, it’s best if your trusted soldiers tell you personally, so I don’t have to repeat it.”
“That’s fine, I’ll ask tomorrow morning. At present, it’s not early anymore, I should go back to my room to rest. Lately, I haven’t been resting well, feeling quite run-down.”
Di Yelei yawned, taking the baggage that Chou Chou had brought. Fortunately, the baggage Chou Chou brought wasn’t big, and it quickly ended up in his hands.
He didn’t pay much attention and took the baggage back to the room he was staying in, casually throwing it onto the small table before falling straight to sleep.
Sisi, where are you?
He sank into sleep and dreamed. In the dream, she smiled at him softly, running ahead and occasionally looking back at him, letting out a series of silver-bell-like laughs.
He laughed heartily too and slowed down his pace, pretending he couldn’t catch up with her.
She slipped, and was about to fall flat on her face, but he quickly reached out with his long arms and caught her, embracing her in his arms.
“Sisi…”
He couldn’t resist encircling her slender waist, planting a kiss on her red lips in response.
“Ye Lei…”
She instinctively clung to his body, her breath as fragrant as orchids as she softly called out to him. Her high, graceful neck was so white, and her large, shimmering eyes brimmed with deep affection and sweetness that he couldn’t help but repeatedly cherish and was reluctant to let go.
A night of passion, both tender and affectionate, curled up together in mutual adoration.
When day broke, he realized he had made an embarrassing mess and soiled his underpants. He quickly got up for some clear water to wash and change into a set of clean clothes, which made him feel much better.

“Dad, are you up yet?”
Two knocks from outside the door were followed by Di Xuan’s voice calling out.
“Is that you, Xuan’er? Come in. You’re visiting so early, is there something important?” Di Yelei called out directly.
Di Xuan entered the house and paid his respects: “Xuan’er has come to ask Dad for a favor. Third Brother is still young, so please don’t be too demanding on him. When Xuan’er was his age, I also did plenty of bad things.”
Di Xuan’s words were a bit muddled, but Di Yelei understood his intentions.
“Chou Chou really gives me a headache. It used to be your mother who took care of this little rascal, so I didn’t really notice. But now that I have to do everything myself, I truly appreciate the hardships your mother faced…” Right, have you visited Old He?”
The servants had already brought breakfast. Di Yelei sat down and gestured for Di Xuan to join him: “Sit down and talk. We are father and son, not enemies.”
Di Xuan did as told and sat down: “I have visited him. Chou Chou doesn’t recognize Old He, but luckily that day I slipped out just in time, or I would have missed Old He once again.”
“What happened?”
Di Yelei picked up a steamed dumpling and put it in his mouth.
“Actually, it’s nothing serious. Many of them don’t recognize Old He. I went out yesterday to intervene, and fortunately, I recognized Old He and brought him back with me,” explained Di Xuan.
“I see,” said Di Yelei as he grabbed a piece of dessert and ate it. “Eat up quickly so we can go over there earlier. It’s been years since I last saw Old He, and I really miss him.”
“Understood.”
Di Xuan also understood and began to eat his breakfast quickly.
After several years of not seeing Old He, time seemed to have treated him kindly. He looked no different than before, still energetic and sharp.
Seeing Di Yelei and his son arrive together, Old He’s eyes immediately lit up.
“So it’s the Di family boys? Come in, come in. To meet is to have fate, and it’s not easy for us to have this reunion here,” remarked Old He.
He too was feeling sentimental.
When he had left the clinic all those years ago, no one had been informed, and after so many years had gone by, meeting again now caused the events of the past to flash through his mind like a lantern slide, making him feel especially unsettled, as if he had returned to those old days.
This made Di Yelei feel particularly distressed.
“Old He, when you left that year, we’ve been searching everywhere for you all these years but could never find you…”
