Lin Yao looked down at the light blue slippers on his feet. His excitement dipped.
No wonder…
From the fridge magnets to the fluffy decor inside—everything fresh and cute. It was all prepared for Little Deer.
Teacher’s favorite would always be Little Deer.
But he wouldn’t lose face. He rummaged for plush toys, piled them with the summer quilt, nestled into his makeshift nest for a selfie, captioned: 【They’re sleeping with me tonight~】
Whoever they were bought for—he’d use them first!
Little Deer raged in the group.
【Big brother, why don’t you just die? When will you die? Die already!】
【Die! Die! Die die die die die!】
【Die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die die!】
Ignoring Little Deer’s impotent rage, Lin Yao hugged the plushies and fell asleep.
As he drifted off in a haze, he vaguely recalled a time in childhood when he envied Little Deer’s things. On his birthday, he’d wished on a star for a plush toy, carefully.
Across vast time and space, that shooting star finally granted his wish.
Sweet dreams all night.
Shen Leyuan slept the same.
He’d thought he’d be sleepless, but he passed out the moment his head hit the pillow. In the dream, someone smoothed his furrowed brow. Two potted plants labeled “Little Deer” and “Lin Yao” bloomed slowly.
But the big tree beside them wasn’t faring well—branches dry and stiff, leaves yellowing. On the trunk, some bastard’s carved “Yuan” oozed translucent sap, like blood or tears.
Shen Leyuan’s chest ached. He walked over and touched it.
The tree shuddered, quivered, and said two words in a low, pitiful voice.
Shen Leyuan: !!!
He jolted awake.
What a terrifying dream—the big shot actually called out to him… called him… what was it again?
The phone was right in front of him. While wondering what was up, he habitually unlocked it with his fingerprint. What met his eyes were four simple words.
【Until we meet again】
Tch…
He slowly deleted those words. Better not to meet again, Shen Leyuan thought.
He was good at talking himself down, and his mood had already calmed quite a bit. Still, he couldn’t help feeling a little down. Yawning listlessly, he got out of bed to wash up.
But as soon as he pushed open the door, the aroma of food hit him in the face.
In the kitchen, Lin Yao lifted the lid of the pot to taste the sparerib soup’s saltiness. Feeling it wasn’t quite right, he turned to grab the salt—and locked eyes with the stunned, dumbfounded Teacher Shen. His face instantly flushed red.
“I didn’t know what you like to eat, so I made a bit of everything.”
The young man asked nervously, “What do you think of four dishes and a soup? If it’s not enough, I can stir-fry a couple more.”
Shen Leyuan asked blankly, “You know how to cook?”
For some reason, Lin Yao suddenly looked a bit aggrieved. “A must-have skill for someone who’s stayed behind.”
Shen Leyuan burst out laughing.
Some countries’ food really was like it was upholding heavenly principles while stamping out human desires.
“Alright,” he went over to help serve the dishes. “Then let’s taste your skills.”
It feels so much like home.
Lin Yao tried to hold back the grin on his face but failed, snapping a photo with a silly smile and posting it to the group chat to show off that he’d cooked for the teacher. He gleefully mocked Little Deer: 【Knows jack shit except how to eat.】
Little Deer didn’t pop up. Instead, A Si bubbled up: 【.】
Orphan: 【Yo, you’re alive. When are you coming to propose marriage?】
Sheng Shisi: 【.】
Orphan: 【@Sheng Shisi I’m serious. As long as you come propose, I’ll raise both hands and feet in favor of you marrying Little Deer and taking him home.】
Sheng Shisi: 【.】
Lin Yao’s brows furrowed.
Shen Leyuan asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
It was all Sheng Shisi, that dumbass who could only type periods.
Lin Yao wanted to vent a bit, but the words died on his tongue. Why bring up A Si when I’m alone with the teacher?
So he said it was nothing, just some ridiculous news he’d seen.
Meanwhile, A Si’s brows creased into an unflattening arc. He typed words in the chat only to delete them again.
He wanted to say something in the group, but he had nothing to say.
He wanted to say something to the teacher, but he didn’t dare.
In the end, he opened Little Deer’s messages and listened to those old voice clips again.
“It’s just a trip out. Didn’t we go out last time? Even if Daddy’s mad, he won’t punish Little Deer too harshly.”
“Teacher? Don’t tell the teacher. Little Deer wants to surprise him~”
“Doesn’t A Si want to go find the teacher with Little Deer? The teacher’s been asking about you lately, wondering where you’ve gone.”
“Daddy says you did something wrong, but Little Deer thinks A Si did nothing wrong.”
“Help me, A Si!”
It was just taking him out for a bit. He’d bring him right back. No problem.
There definitely won’t be any problems.
Having convinced himself, A Si contacted one of his former subordinates.
Little Deer was in an exceptionally good mood today.
His pale hand gripped the pistol. Closing one eye, he aimed it at the wall, making shooting sounds with his mouth: “Pew~ pew pew~”
The speaker in the wall transmitted Huo Xiaoqi’s voice: “Be careful with that.”
Little Deer was so cute, but way too childish and naive. He didn’t understand a gun’s lethality and was treating this dangerous thing like a toy. Huo Xiaoqi faintly regretted it now, worried the kid might accidentally discharge it and hurt himself.
“I know,” Little Deer giggled. “Getting hit hurts a lot. You might even die.”
He said it like he was bragging about something amazing.
Huo Xiaoqi chuckled. “Yeah, yeah, Little Deer’s so smart. Make sure you put that thing away safe. Guns are banned around here, you know.”
Little Deer whined, “But Daddy has a gun, and he wants to shoot me with it.”
He turned the gun barrel toward himself, pressing it against his head. “Like this. He says if he pulls the trigger, bang~ Little Deer’s dead!”
“Ancestors preserve us!” Huo Xiaoqi urged him. “Don’t point it at yourself!”
A rough voice cut in from the side: “What? His dad wants to kill him? Did he do something worth silencing?”
“He’s joking,” Huo Xiaoqi explained. “With a creepy dad like Lin Yuan, he’s probably just scaring the kid. But it’s still over the line…”
He suspected the boss’s gun was legal, but he hadn’t dug up the details yet.
His brother wasn’t buying it, leaning sympathetically toward the mic to check on Little Deer and push Huo Xiaoqi harder. “Can’t you just black out all the cameras and give Little Deer his freedom?”
“There are dozens of cameras inside the house alone from every angle, bros!” Xiaoqi was on the verge of breakdown. “Just handling the short-range ones from the door to the villa exit took me all night. I still haven’t slept!”
Screw it. He needed to catch some sleep.
He slept straight through till evening. By then, his brothers had infiltrated the villa, ready to stir up some chaos.
Little Deer waited quietly in the villa until the appointed time. When the commotion started outside, he slipped silently toward Daddy’s room, claiming he was scared and begging the bodyguards to let him in.
The boss hadn’t given orders, so the bodyguards hesitated.
But silence was as good as approval. What harm in letting a frightened son seek out his dad?
The two bodyguards looked up at the sky, down at the ground, and stepped aside.
“Daddy!”
Little Deer burst into the room with a shrill voice, like he was terrified.
But Lin Yuan knew his fear was always surface-level. Excitement forever buzzed in his brain, and malice was something he was born knowing. No matter how much you restricted or scrubbed it away, it always popped up at the worst times.
Last time he came, he wanted me to let him out. What does he want this time?
He regarded the child calmly.
Little Deer grinned, but his voice was pitiful: “Daddy, let Little Deer go find the teacher, okay?”
“That empty house at Teacher’s place must be saved for Little Deer.”
“But Brother took it! He stole Little Deer’s thing! How can he steal Little Deer’s thing!!!”
He only faked it for two lines before his true colors showed on the third.
“Why are you restricting Little Deer?! Little Deer’s been so good! Little Deer doesn’t want anyone else, just the teacher! Why won’t you let Little Deer go out? What right do you have to stop Little Deer?!”
The next line came with tears, a aggrieved whine: “Little Deer wants to learn to be normal! How can I learn without meeting normal people…”
Lin Yuan watched him lose it. How rare.
Usually, it was others who went mad from Little Deer’s antics. Those who adored him fretted and schemed to prove their devotion, but Little Deer’s eyes stayed forever innocent, forever oblivious to the world.
So they stopped chasing romance and just wanted to claim him with sex.
Under Daddy’s indifferent, disgusted gaze, Little Deer’s hatred deepened.
It’s all his fault! All his fault!
And Brother too. Brother’s useless, a piece of trash, a rival stealing the teacher!
Kill them. Kill them all!
Like an ancient vow on the verge of fulfillment, the boy’s smile trembled with thrill. Without hesitation, he aimed the gun at his daddy and fired several shots in a row.
So close. It has to hit the heart, right?
Little Deer thought eagerly.
Blood burst from Lin Yuan’s chest. He grunted, sharp pain spreading, but for some reason, he felt no fear of impending death.
Strange. He suddenly thought of that son of unknown origins—as long as it wasn’t fatal, Lin Yao could recover without a trace.
But if it was fatal?
In a room of the Huo Family, Huo Xiaoqi watched the scene through the monitors, his face draining of color inch by inch.
How did it come to this? Did I screw up?
He should tell his brothers where Little Deer was, let them rescue him. But right now, his throat was parched; he couldn’t speak.
“It hurts so much! You’re hurting me so bad!” Little Deer struggled against the bodyguards’ grip, whining pitifully. “That’s my daddy. So what if I shot him a few times?”
“Help!” He looked up at the camera, playing pitiful. “I’m gonna die from the pain!”
Huo Xiaoqi saw the excitement in his eyes.
It had gone this far. No turning back. Rather than wait for Lin Yuan to come demanding blood…
Malice erupted in his heart. His fingertip pressed the call button.
Suddenly, cheers approached from afar: “Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi! Second Bro’s awake. He’s looking for you—hurry over!”
Xiaoqi shivered, snapping awake.
