With Chu Xing’s house next to him, Chu Heng felt slightly more at ease.

Being close to his family was indeed better.

As for the thief who came to the village last time, he had never found him, but he had a feeling that this person would appear again.

Therefore, he was a little worried.

Lu Chuan walked to the side and knocked on the courtyard door. After a while, Zhang Shu came to open the door.

When Chu Heng came in, he quickly said, “Master, the milk that Madam prepared for you is heating on the stove. There’s also hot water. Madam wants you to remember to drink the milk before you go to bed.”

“Where is she?” He had neglected to drink milk once, making Ye Muyu think that he did not like it, so she reminded him from time to time.

Chu Heng’s heart warmed slightly. He could feel this kind of intention. “Oh, I understand.”

“Lil’ Jin is still reading in the study?” Chu Heng looked at the light coming from the study and asked.

“Yes, Young Master said he was copying Buddhist scriptures.” Zhang Shu replied.

“I understand. You guys can go and rest.”

Lu Chuan and Zhang Shu stopped in their tracks and went to fetch water to wash up.

Madam Hu waited for the two to get the water and did not forget to refill their water storage. When they needed to use it, there would not be any worry.

Chu Heng strode into the study.

In the study, Chu Jin was writing very seriously. Zhang Cong was accompanying him. From time to time, he would cut the wick and turn on the light.

Seeing Chu Heng enter, Zhang Cong hurriedly bowed.

Chu Heng raised his hand to stop him. He walked behind Chu Heng in two steps and silently looked at the Buddhist scriptures he had copied for a while.

His handwriting still seemed like a child’s, but it had gradually become well-written. Although it was still not beautiful, let alone strong, for a five-and-a-half-year-old child to have such patience was very good.

“Why copy Buddhist scriptures?” Chu Heng suddenly asked.

Only then did Chu Jin realize that Chu Heng had come in. He looked at his stern father, and his hands trembled a little. Instantly, he smeared the paper. He felt vexed, but he did not dare to show it in front of Chu Heng. He was afraid that his father would despise what he had written. “I wanted to give Brother Zhongjin a gift.”

“Sister gave me her own handmade items, so I asked Brother Zhongjin what kind of gift he liked. Brother Zhongjin said that he liked Buddhist scriptures, so I picked a book with fewer words…Ah, no, it’s the Buddhist scriptures that Brother Zhongjin often reads. When the time comes, I’ll give it to the teacher and give it to Brother Zhongjin as a gift.” Chu Jin was a little annoyed after saying that. Why did he speak so quickly and accidentally say what he really thought?

He wondered if her father would hit him.

Just as Chu Jin was feeling vexed and uneasy.

“Not bad, you’ve put in a lot of effort.” Chu Heng’s voice was very calm.

“Father, are you complimenting me?” Chu Jin was in disbelief.

Chu Heng did not expect him to be so calm. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded.

“Continue copying. If you’re tired, go to sleep. As long as you plan well and finish copying, it’ll be fine.”

“Alright, Father, I will finish copying!” Chu Jin was instantly motivated.

Chu Heng turned around and left the study.

After a while, he brought in a glass of hot milk and placed it beside the desk.

His actions were silent. After he left, he slowed down the closing of the door so that he would not make any noise to disturb Chu Jin.

His actions were noticed by the nervous Zhang Cong.

He noticed that Chu Heng had high expectations of Chu Jin on the surface, but he was also very concerned about Chu Jin behind his back. He could not help but reveal an envious gaze.

However, when he thought about how his parents had given him good food and drinks, he felt at ease. After all, staying by his young master’s side and protecting him was his mission..
