“If there’s nothing else, quickly get up here after catching the fish. The water is so cold, aren’t you affected?” The little boy glanced at her like she was an idiot. After finis.h.i.+ng his sentence, the little boy took the food and left.
Helian Wei Wei followed him, feeling very disgruntled. Who exactly was she so cold for? She just wanted to let him eat something delicious. But instead, he had learned how to flirt around even though he was still a kid!
The more Helian Wei Wei thought about it, the rougher she cut the firewood, sulking throughout the process.
The little boy looked at her from the side. He did not understand what she was angry about.
The good thing about Helian Wei Wei was that her sulkiness disappeared fast. After being busy for a while, a smile returned to her face. She flipped over the fish and brushed it with oil. Then she found some fruits, crushed them and spread them on the fish. Immediately, an aroma wafted out.
It was not a big deal that someone could send food here.
She could cook!
As the saying goes, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
She could be considered a person with love experience. Since she could handle the adult version of Baili Jia Jue, she could handle this smaller version of him as well!
Thinking about this, Helian Wei Wei smiled even more brilliantly, and even started to hum. When the fish was grilled just right, a fragrance permeated the air around them.
The little boy stood aside, adding a piece of firewood to the bonfire whenever she asked him to do so.
Helian Wei Wei found him very cute like this, especially since this child was so cold and elegant. He looked very sweet under the illumination of the fiery bonfire.
Helian Wei Wei could not endure it any more, and moved forward to kiss his forehead.
After she kissed him, she smiled at Baili Jia Jue.
The little boy immediately stopped throwing the firewood, turned his head away and completely ignored Helian Wei Wei.
Helian Wei Wei felt like a rich playboy who had just flirted with a girl. Delighted, she continued to grill the meat. She cut off a piece of meat and handed it to him. “Try it and tell me, how does it taste?”
The little boy glanced at her and said lightly, “Going to kiss me again when I’m eating?”
Helian Wei Wei’s thoughts were exposed. Her fingers stopped and she asked with a smile, “Am I that kind of person?”
“Don’t just randomly kiss people next time.” The little boy educated her leisurely and bent down to eat a mouthful of grilled fish. The fish was very tender, and it left a lingering fragrance in his mouth. Thus, he could not help but eat another mouthful of fish.
Seeing that he enjoyed the food, Helian Wei Wei took the opportunity to brainwash him. “Next time when you choose a consort, you must find someone who can cook, especially someone who is good at grilling fish.”
The little boy raised his eyebrow. “Just like you?”
“Kiddo, you’re on the right track!” Helian Wei Wei said with a grin. “Yes, someone like me, who is an all-rounder. I can also help you fend off romance attempts from other people. You don’t know yet, but you will have a lot of admirers when you grow up. Without me, you definitely can’t escape them.”
After listening to her speech, the little boy took another bite of the grilled fish and said slowly, “Isn’t it good being loved by so many people? Why should I stop them?”
…What he said makes sense! Helian Wei Wei was rendered speechless.
“Kiddo, you come here. Let us discuss the virtue of loyalty and the benefits of monogamy!” Helian Wei Wei thought that she should educate the little boy from an early age. “Don’t be like your father, the Emperor. Having so many concubines is not good because it increases the risk of having kidney deficiency. Do you know what kidney deficiency is?”
The little boy folded both arms across his chest, and looked her up and down. “So the only person that has a crush on you in the future… is me?”
Helian Wei Wei felt a little guilty, and gave a half smile. “Of course.”
“Liar.” The little boy turned his face away and continued eating the grilled fish. Did this stupid woman think that he was as stupid as her? Being this good-looking, how could no one fall in love with her?
Helian Wei Wei had always known that His Highness was smart, but she did not expect him to be this smart. She probably did not give herself away. How did he know that she was lying?
However, Helian Wei Wei, who was an avid reader, knew that at this situation, the right thing to do was to confess.
Because that was what the dominant presidents in the books would do!
She must put it into practice!
Thus, Helian Wei Wei scooched closer to the little boy, and lowered her voice in an attempt to make her appear more affectionate. “If they love me, that is their business. You have always been the only one who has my heart.”
Hearing this, the little boy paused.
Helian Wei Wei thought, He’s touched, isn’t he!
Hmph, she would not believe that she could not win the heart of an eight year old!
Unexpectedly, the little boy looked at her and sneered. “They? Seems like there is more than one. Woman, you are such a flirt. How did I fall for you?”
Helian Wei Wei’s reaction: … (speechless)
No, something did not feel right. She was supposed to be educating His Highness. How did it become like this, where His Highness is educating her instead?
This made Helian Wei Wei depressed. Who said that young people were easy to fool? The one in front of her was really hard to deal with.
“However, I can promise to consider you when choosing a consort.” The little boy spoke again, casually and indifferently. “But on one condition.”
Helian Wei Wei originally thought that she had failed, but upon hearing his promise, her eyes lit up. “What condition?”
“You cannot let other men fall for you,” the little boy coldly said. “Since you are good at fending off romance attempts, so you should fend off yours too.”
Hearing that, Helian Wei Wei smiled readily. “No problem.” So I should just deter other people from falling for me? This would be too easy. When the time came, she would make sure to put on a threatening facade, so that no one would dare to fall in love with her.
“You must be absolutely loyal to me.” The little boy stood up, looking down upon Helian Wei Wei, who was squatting in front of him, with a faint trace of gold in his eyes.
Helian Wei Wei nodded. “Okay.” Loyalty is a must between lovers.
“Very good.” The contract was established, and the little boy smiled. Finally, she was in his hands.
Helian Wei Wei also thought that it was good, but she did not notice at all that she had just sold herself off. She lowered her head and happily dug into the grilled fish in her hands.
The little boy glanced at her again. “Don’t eat too much fish.”
“Why?” Helian Wei Wei thought in her heart, If he dared to say I’m fat, I would definitely drag him over and beat him up!
The little boy moved his fingers and threw all the things he had just picked up at her. “There are still these.”
“I don’t want to eat these.” Helian Wei Wei had a backbone. Although the cake looked good, but as a mercenary tyc.o.o.n with a backbone, she absolutely would not eat a love rival’s food!
