"What if you fall?"

"Anyway, my body heals quickly," An Youyou retorted.

"But it still hurts, doesn’t it?"

"..." An Youyou was suddenly at a loss for words.

At this moment, Lin Zichan watched their interaction, his fingers subconsciously tightening.

I can heal myself, but I can still feel the pain...

Lin Zichan’s eyes flickered slightly, still focused on them.

"Be careful in the future," Xiao Luming cautioned again.

"Alright, I know," An Youyou pouted, "Brother is obviously the same age as me, yet he’s just like Father."

Xiao Luming had yet to speak.

An Youyou suddenly spoke excitedly, "Just like the old Father, but different from the current Father. Brother, have I not lived with Father for too long? Why does it feel like Father has changed so much upon returning this time?"

Xiao Luming explained, "I feel Father has changed too, but I’ve asked Mother about it. She said Father was seriously injured in Mobei, so that’s why he seems different. Anyway, Mother said that Father is still our Father and we shouldn’t overthink."

Lin Zichan’s thin lips were tightly pressed together.

"Oh, alright then." An Youyou smiled sweetly, her innocent nature meant she wouldn’t doubt Mother and Brother.

"Did you have something to do here today?"

"I just heard from a Palace Attendant that you almost fell off the roof, so I came to check on you. Brother, are you okay?" An Youyou asked worriedly.

"I’m fine. Luckily, Guard Lin saved me."

"Guard Lin?" An Youyou was surprised.

Xiao Luming pointed to Lin Zichan nearby, "My new guard, Guard Wu had some issues and took leave from the palace."

"Oh." An Youyou glanced at Lin Zichan.

Her round eyes rolling slightly.

Lin Zichan saluted, "Greetings, Princess."

An Youyou kept staring at Lin Zichan.

After a long moment, she suddenly spoke excitedly, "Brother, don’t you think Guard Lin’s eyes resemble Father’s a bit?"

Xiao Luming’s heart paused slightly.

He hadn’t paid much attention to his unique feelings towards Lin Zichan, but hearing Youyou say this suddenly made him realize why he felt this way.

It’s because he has eyes similar to Father’s, giving him a sense of familiarity.

"Crown Prince, Guard Lin’s clothes have arrived," Wen Gonggong suddenly stepped forward to report.

Xiao Luming and An Youyou both withdrew their gazes.

Thinking that the resemblance between Lin Zichan and Father’s eyes wasn’t a big deal.

It’s enough to stay for a while.

"Guard Lin, follow Wen Gonggong to change your clothes."

"Yes." Lin Zichan replied respectfully.

As he left, he seemed to glance back at An Youyou.

At this point, An Youyou’s attention was already on Xiao Luming, not noticing anyone else. She tugged at him, "Brother, come with me to catch butterflies? I’m so bored."

"Where’s Anqi?" Xiao Luming asked nonchalantly.

"Sister Anqi said her master is coming tomorrow to check her homework, so she’s not playing with me."

"I still have a lot of things to take care of too."

"Woo..." An Youyou pretended to cry, acting spoiled.

"Youyou, be good, go play by yourself." Xiao Luming said seriously, sticking to his principles.

"Then I’ll... then I’ll go find Mother." An Youyou was really helpless.

"You can’t go, Mother is going to Father."

"Just as well, I’ll find Father too."

"Mother said she and Father are going to give us a little brother or sister; if you go, won’t you disturb them?" Xiao Luming reproached.

Lin Zichan, changing his clothes and coming out, heard their conversation.

His expression darkened slightly.
