Chapter 571: Teaching the Unlucky Disciple a Lesson

Book Chapter 571: Teaching My Unlucky Disciple How to Behave (Update 4)

Summer was scorching. Lin.

Xiao Yu thought he and barbecue were separated by nothing more than a pinch of cumin.

Even so, he was excitedly planting flowers in his garden.

The blue snow flower was a resilient and stunning bloom, capable of flowering endlessly.

Throughout the summer, with ample phosphorus fertilizer, it not only thrived but continuously sprouted new buds.

After one round of blossoms, another quickly followed…

Xiao Yu loved tending the home he’d built for his current life.

He always felt that a home arranged by his own hands was the warmest.

Mu Qingwu cradled seven‐month‐old Mu Mu as she stood under the eaves.

Watching the joyful, busy Xiao Yu, she shook her head with a smile.

Sometimes she found her little brother a bit foolish, insisting on doing everything himself.

It was as though he was always determined to take care of her.

Even after having a child, he would instinctively offer his hand when crossing the street.

And he wouldn’t let her help in the kitchen, claiming that cooking fumes were bad for the skin.

Every morning, to let her sleep longer, he would take ‘547’ and the baby to play in the living room.

When they married, he vowed to pamper her like a little princess—and he truly delivered.

Meeting him, marrying him, and having Mu Mu.

They became husband and wife, and even like siblings, they savored the simple joys of life.

That was the taste of happiness!

……

After a morning of gardening and lunch.

Xiao Yu, having soothed his son to sleep, glanced at Mu Qingwu who was busy working on her computer.

At that moment, the formidable businesswoman dressed simply; nothing could hide her enviable figure and graceful curves.

What caught everyone’s attention was her understated elegance.

It wasn’t just a matter of beauty.

In Xiao Yu’s eyes, Mu Qingwu was one of a kind.

Of course, that didn’t stop him from causing mischief while his sister worked.

“Sis, are you still busy?”

“Will you still love me when you’re done working?”

“Work’s that interesting? Why did you ever get married, just to drive me crazy?”

“When Mu Mu and I fall into the water, will you be busy working or just munching on sunflower seeds?”

“Or does your little brother never find work fun at all?”

Xiao Yu blinked like a kid who’d just been denied candy.

Mu Qingwu: ……

Her gaze shifted from the computer to Xiao Yu’s face. “I’m with you!”

“Alright then, sis, you can get back to work.”

Xiao Yu stopped his antics, feeling rather pleased to have succeeded by navigating the ways of women.

“Behave yourself or I’ll beat you to death!” Mu Qingwu playfully scolded.

“I just love teasing you—watching you fume yet unable to kick me out,” he replied.

Xiao Yu flashed a mischievous grin. “What are you going to do? Come at me? Bring it on!”

Then Mu Qingwu stood up and delivered a kick to Xiao Yu.

When her little brother made such a request, she was more than happy to oblige!

“Ouch!”

Xiao Yu immediately pleaded, “Bridge Bean Sack—I’m all talk, not fists.”

“I’m a woman, not some gentleman,” she retorted.

Mu Qingwu tugged playfully at Xiao Yu’s ear. “So, are you done?”

“I’m done,” he admitted.

Xiao Yu wrapped his arms around her waist, grinning wickedly. “Then tell me.”

With a seductive yet affectionate look, Mu Qingwu teased, “If Mu Mu and I fall into the water, who would you save first?”

“This kind of dilemma is tougher for a man than choosing between his wife and his mom,” he joked.

Xiao Yu laughed, “Before either of you hit the water, I’d dig a grave and bury myself!”

“Haha!”

Mu Qingwu, with a smile that could charm a hundred beauties, snuggled into her little brother’s embrace.

Some people make empty promises and give nothing.

Others say nothing yet give everything.

And Mu Qingwu understood this truth better than anyone!

Holding his sister close, Xiao Yu felt exceptionally clever.

A real man has to be this witty.

In places where sunlight couldn’t reach,

only a clever man could make his way.

I am proud!

……

Afternoon.

Xiao Yu took a stroll around the Criminal Investigation Team.

After chatting with the Big Boss for a while, and with no cases at hand, he planned to head home to look after the child.

But then… the unlucky disciple appeared.

“Master, help me!”

Wang Cheng, sporting a doleful look, pleaded for assistance.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Xiao Yu turned and walked away.

Am I a babysitter now?

If my disciple dies, I’ll have already stocked up on soda and sunflower seeds!

“Master, please help me,”

Wang Cheng clung stubbornly to Xiao Yu’s arm, pitifully asking, “Can’t you bear to see your disciple end up alone for life?”

“Let go. There’s no close bond between two men,” Xiao Yu replied.

Glancing at the unlucky disciple with exasperation, he asked, “What now?”

“Sister Yan hasn’t been paying much attention to me lately,” Wang Cheng admitted.

Sister Yan? Who was that?

Oh, Zhou Yanyu—Mu Qingwu’s secretary and the one set up on a blind date with the disciple.

Last time, she even went out for snacks with someone and ended up entangled in a case…

“Isn’t that perfectly normal?”

Xiao Yu scoffed, “She isn’t even close to you now, so why should she care?”

“This…”

Wang Cheng fell silent, “But we did go on a blind date, and she even had dinner with me. Doesn’t that mean she’s interested?”

“Just because she had dinner with you doesn’t mean she’s into you,” Xiao Yu rolled his eyes.

“Isn’t it?” Wang Cheng couldn’t understand.

“Hmph!”

Xiao Yu sneered, “Didn’t the Old Man tell you to straighten the thread before threading the needle?”

Wang Cheng: ???

What did that even mean?

“It means that…”

Xiao Yu was utterly speechless with his disciple, “If you want her to be with you, you have to pursue her. It’s a process, you know? What, after just two meals you think you’re somebody?”

“Oh, really.”

Wang Cheng scratched his head and chuckled, “Isn’t this already pursuit? But if I invite Sister Yan to a movie or a theme park, wouldn’t that make me look like a rookie?”

Xiao Yu: ……

He was completely speechless.

“Actually, I just want to show Sister Yan I can be a real man.”

Wang Cheng grinned, “By the way, Master, when do you think you’re at your manliest?”

Xiao Yu said seriously, “Every time my sister beats me up, I never kneel.”

Wang Cheng: (￣□￣!)

“Let me ask you something.”

Xiao Yu’s tone turned serious, “Which is more important—pretending to be manly or having a girlfriend?”

“Ah…”

Wang Cheng thought for a long time, “Probably having a girlfriend.”

“Not too foolish,” Xiao Yu snorted.

He laughed, “Did you know that ninety percent of men who call others suckers actually end up exposing themselves as single dogs?”

Wang Cheng: ……

Damn… I used to call others suckers too?

Wang Cheng’s face went pale. No wonder I don’t have a girlfriend!

“Then do you know why girls are attracted to jerks?”

Xiao Yu regarded his disciple as if he were an idiot. “That…”

Wang Cheng quickly shook his head, “I don’t know.”

“Jerks come in many forms,”

Xiao Yu said exasperatedly, “They can be the ones who fawn, those who nurture, wild ones—even if they can’t become the top dog, they can at least be a sea dog. When they’re lovey-dovey with a lady, all you can do is envy and call them a dog. Get with the times, little brother. Forget playing man; securing a girl is the real skill. You single pup, with not a woman in your life, who are you trying to impress—a lonely man doomed to eternal solitude?”

After his master’s scolding, Wang Cheng broke into a cold sweat and finally understood.

“Remember,”

Xiao Yu patted his disciple’s shoulder, “Even if one day the world ends, zombies break out, and there’s no chance to survive, do the opposite. Let the zombies bite you first—at least you might snag a spot in management. Don’t be a fool following the crowd, getting led by a bunch of idiots!”
