Chapter 369: Actually, I’m just a big Child

Translator: CokeZero Editor: Rainystars

After returning to her room, Lu Jiao noticed that Xie Yunjin seemed lost in thought. Unable to hold back, she asked, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Xie Yunjin snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Lu Jiao. He considered how much Lu Jiao loved the Fourth Born and instinctively didn’t want her to know that the Fourth Born wasn’t their child.

Xie Yunjin smiled and then spoke while contemplating, “I was thinking about how you helped Prince Yan remove the barbed arrow. If we consider it that way, Prince Yan owes us more than once, doesn’t he?”

Upon hearing his words, Lu Jiao couldn’t help but laugh. “Indeed. If we encounter any trouble in the future, we can ask Prince Yan for help.”

Xie Yunjin sighed and said, “Jiaojiao, you’re truly lucky. You casually help someone remove a barbed arrow, and it turns out to be Prince Yan of the Great Zhou Dynasty. You casually attach someone’s arm, and that person happens to be a general in the Great Zhou Dynasty. From now on, I’ll rely on you, Jiaojiao, to protect me.”

Xie Yunjin teased, and Lu Jiao’s smile grew even brighter. She patted Xie Yunjin’s shoulder with a hearty expression and said, “Don’t worry, from now on, big sister has got you covered.”

When he heard her words, a mischievous and provocative look appeared in Xie Yunjin’s eyes.

“Big sister?” he asked. Was Lu Jiao older than him?

Lu Jiao immediately laughed it off. In reality, she was one year older than Xie Yunjin, so it wasn’t wrong for her to call herself a big sister.

On the bed, Xie Yunjin suddenly grabbed Lu Jiao’s hand. He softly whispered,

“Jiaojiao, can you tell me what you were like before?”

Lu Jiao froze, but at that moment, the four little ones entered the room and interrupted her train of thought.

“Daddy, mommy.”

Lu Jiao immediately let go of Xie Yunjin’s hand, turned around, and greeted the four little ones.

“Have you finished your classes?”

The four little ones ran up to her and nodded repeatedly. “Yes, mommy, we have.”

Lu Jiao remembered her promise to the Second Born to write a story about a great general for him and smiled as she spoke, “Go and have your meal with your friends. In the afternoon, I will play a role-playing game with you. This time, you will play the role of the great general.”

The Second Born widened his eyes in surprise. “Mommy, are you for real?”

Lu Jiao nodded and praised him, “Yes. When you were caught by the villains, you didn’t cry or make a fuss. You took care of your friend Han Nanfeng. I believe that you will become a great general in the future. Not only will you be skilled yourself but you will also take care of your soldiers.”

The Second Born was filled with excitement from Lu Jiao’s praise. He puffed up his chest and declared, “I will become braver and braver in the future. I will protect myself and also protect my soldiers.” “Yes, that’s how you’ll act this afternoon.”

“Okay, mommy.”

Due to what had happened to the Second Born previously, the three little ones felt a deep affection for him, so this time, they all praised him.

“I believe the Second Born will become a brave and wise general in the future.”

After the First Born finished speaking, the Third Born vigorously nodded and looked at the Second Born, saying, “Second Born, when you become a great general, you must protect both me and the Fourth Born.”

Second Born slapped his chest, which made a loud sound. “We’re brothers, so that’s for sure. If anyone dares to bully you, just come to me, and I’ll bring people to teach the bad guys a lesson.”

The three little ones burst into laughter.

Lu Jiao saw that the Second Born didn’t have any lingering shadows from his recent experience of falling into the enemy’s hands. She finally let go of her worries and looked at the four little ones, saying,

“Alright, go and have lunch with the other kids,” Lu Jiao said. The children who were studying at the Xie family’s residence would stay there for lunch, and the four little ones would eat together with them without any special treatment.

After they heard Lu Jiao’s words, the four little ones nodded and ran up to Xie Yunjin. Each of them gave him a kiss on the cheek.

“Daddy, take good care of your injury. I’ll come to teach you math in the evening. ”

“Daddy, I’ll come back to perform as a great general for you tonight.”

“Daddy, we’re going to have our meal now. Let mommy accompany you for lunch.”

“Say nice things to mommy, and she’ll happily have lunch with you.”

After the four little ones finished, they ran out. Lu Jiao looked at their receding figures with a speechless expression.

From the bed, Xie Yunjin called out, “Jiaojiao, I’m hungry.”

Lu Jiao immediately instructed Lin Dong to prepare the food and accompanied Xie Yunjin for lunch. Xie Yunjin’s injury on his left shoulder didn’t affect his ability to eat, so Lu Jiao sat down and ate with him.

Xie Yunjin thought about the question he had asked Lu Jiao earlier and couldn’t help but ask again, “Jiaojiao, what were you like before?”

Lu Jiao involuntarily recalled her past life, and those memories seemed to have become less profound. Had she become accustomed to her current life?

After pondering for a while, Lu Jiao didn’t want to talk about her past life. There was nothing worth mentioning. Her parents divorced when she was young, and she lived in a boarding school from the age of eight. During summer and winter vacations, her parents would push her around, but she never ended up living with them. Instead, she stayed with relatives.

Later, she went through university and successfully joined the military as a doctor. She was always focused on studying and saving lives.

Lu Jiao shook her head and said, “There’s nothing much to say.”

Her words fell with a hint of silence. Seeing her expression, Xie Yunjin realized that her past life didn’t bring her happiness, so he decided not to ask her anymore. He ate the meal in silence, and after dinner, Lu Jiao went to the back

courtyard to rest.

In the afternoon, she didn’t go out. She taught the children math and played role-playing games with them. The little ones were extremely happy.

During dinner, they kept talking about these things, and Lu Jiao was infected by their excitement, feeling very happy.

Seeing her in a good mood, Xie Yunjin felt relieved and secretly decided not to ask Lu Jiao about her past life anymore. She must have lived a very unhappy life in her previous life, so he would stop asking.

After dinner, Lu Jiao planned to take the four little ones to the backyard to sleep.

Immediately, Xie Yunjin complained in a pitiful voice, “Jiaojiao, I’m still a patient, you know?”

What?

Lu Jiao turned to look at him, and Xie Yunjin weakly continued, “I don’t know if the wound will get infected tonight.”

Lu Jiao wanted to roll her eyes. Xie Sangou, can you stop being so hypocritical?

However, the four little ones were clearly worried. They looked up at Lu Jiao and said, “Mommy, you should sleep with father tonight.” “We can go back to the back courtyard to sleep on our own.” “Mommy, if you go back to sleep, what if daddy has a fever again?”

“Yes, daddy is injured. Mommy should stay with father for the night.”

After the four little ones finished speaking, they ran out and called to Feng Zhi outside, “Sister Feng Zhi, come with us to the back courtyard to sleep.”

“Alright, young masters.”

Feng Zhi led the four little ones to the backyard to bathe and sleep.

In the master bedroom of the front courtyard, Lu Jiao looked at Xie Yunjin and said unkindly, “You’re competing with our four sons for attention now?”

Xie Yunjin immediately protested in a pitiful tone, “Jiaojiao, I’m just a big child too. ”

His words instantly made Lu Jiao laugh. Was there really such a thing as a big child? Xie Sangou was truly living up to his name..
