Serving as a Human Cushion, Thrown Out

"..."

Ye Tian's appearance made Bibi Dong, who had been deadlocked, breathe a sigh of relief.

Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes brightened slightly before dimming again.

Being treated so differently

inevitably made her feel a trace of resentment toward Ye Tian.

Jin Yue'er looked towards Ye Tian at the doorway. She quickly guessed his identity and, as if she had found help, said in a sobbing tone:

"Ye Tian, hurry and save Sister Xue!"

"Hmm?"

Ye Tian's curiosity about Jin Yue'er did not delay his rescue of Qian Renxue.

He hurriedly shut the wooden door.

"Teacher, this is your dinner. Eat it while it's hot."

Ye Tian handed the food box in his hand to Bibi Dong, then gave an awkward laugh.

"They're both still young. There's no need—"

"You shut up too!"

"!!!"

After Bibi Dong shouted at him, Ye Tian immediately fell silent, his entire body tensing.

Jin Yue'er also trembled like a quail.

Bibi Dong glared viciously at Ye Tian.

If not for this dog-headed strategist, this child would have been utterly disappointed in her long ago.

How could something like today have happened?

Therefore,

Ye Tian had to pay for today's situation!

"Give me the dinner."

Bibi Dong held Qian Renxue by the hand and extended her other hand toward Ye Tian.

"..."

Ye Tian silently placed the food box onto Bibi Dong's palm.

Taking the food box,

a glint flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes as she casually tossed Qian Renxue toward Ye Tian.

"Throw them both out."

"Fuck!"

Ye Tian let out a strange cry and hurriedly spread his arms to catch Qian Renxue.

"Ah!"

Qian Renxue gave a muffled groan.

With a thud, Ye Tian was smashed to the ground. He held the girl tightly in his arms and could not help sucking in a breath.

"Hiss—!"

"Sister Xue!"

Jin Yue'er watched helplessly as Qian Renxue crashed onto Ye Tian and fell with him.

She hurried past Bibi Dong.

Straining, she tugged at Qian Renxue's small hands.

Yet no matter how she pulled, Qian Renxue gave her no cooperation.

Qian Renxue was like a walking corpse.

Tears silently streamed down her face as she lay quietly atop Ye Tian.

"Sister Xue, are you alright? Ye Tian, hurry and help Sister Xue up."

"Understood!"

Ye Tian propped himself up and pushed Qian Renxue's shoulders, making her sit upright.

He could not help complaining about Jin Yue'er, who had come over only to make up the numbers.

"Didn't you eat enough?"

"You're talking nonsense! I eat my fill every day!"

Cold sweat poured down Jin Yue'er's forehead and back, and she was panting even as she spoke.

"Alright, alright. Go stand to the side first."

Ye Tian waved his hand helplessly.

As he spoke,

Ye Tian had already crouched behind Qian Renxue.

He slipped his arms beneath hers and hauled her up with all his strength.

"Little Xue, y-you need to put in some strength too."

"..."

Ye Tian was somewhat speechless.

He could only fight alone, and it took considerable effort before he finally got Qian Renxue standing steadily against him.

His breathing became somewhat hurried.

Only then did he realize that Qian Renxue had actually grown quite a bit taller than him.

Ye Tian felt somewhat fortunate.

Good thing he was now a Spirit Master.

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue, whose eyes were still brimming with tears as she looked at her.

Her heart was hard as stone.

She pointed at Ye Tian with her index finger and urged:

"What are you waiting for? Throw them both out!"

"Got it, got it."

Ye Tian replied annoyedly, leaning close to Qian Renxue's ear and speaking softly:

"Little Xue, there's no helping it. Forgive me!"

Words fell.

Ye Tian scooped Qian Renxue's petite, soft body into his arms.

Her feet suddenly left the ground.

Qian Renxue could not help feeling flustered and grabbed tightly onto Ye Tian's clothes.

She finally came back to her senses a little.

Lying in Ye Tian's arms, she felt utterly at a loss.

"Hey, you there, follow."

Ye Tian called out to Jin Yue'er, then carried Qian Renxue forward.

"Huh? M-me?"

Jin Yue'er blankly pointed at herself.

Meeting Bibi Dong's deathly glare, she hurriedly broke into a run.

"Wait for me, I'm leaving now!"

Jin Yue'er quickly arrived beside Ye Tian.

Together, they stood before the door, motionless as though facing a wall in punishment.

Ye Tian waited for several breaths, then looked tearfully at the girl with the high ponytail beside him.

"Hmm?"

Jin Yue'er met Ye Tian's gaze and asked in confusion:

"What are you looking at me for?"

"I'm carrying Little Xue, you know~"

Ye Tian spoke gently, trying his best to remain friendly.

After all, anyone who could become Qian Renxue's playmate could not have an ordinary identity.

Jin Yue'er nodded.

"I know."

"My hands are occupied right now~"

"And then?"

Jin Yue'er looked utterly curious and could not help asking:

"Why aren't you continuing to walk?"

"..."

Qian Renxue was stunned.

Suddenly, she felt as though she was not quite so sad anymore. Just as she was about to speak,

Ye Tian broke down and said:

"I want to walk too! Could you at least lend a hand and open the door?"

"Ah!!!"

Jin Yue'er cried out. Only then did she realize it and hurried forward to open the door.

"I-I'll open it right away."

"..."

Bibi Dong could not help pinching the bridge of her nose, suddenly feeling a splitting headache.

Hopefully, she could get rid of these people's entanglement.

Otherwise,

they would drive her insane!

Under Ye Tian's strange gaze, Jin Yue'er seemed to use all her strength just to open a door, swaying from exhaustion.

"That's enough. Follow me."

Ye Tian stopped Jin Yue'er in time and carried Qian Renxue outside.

Jin Yue'er panted as she hurried after him.

The moment they stepped outside,

Jin Yue'er wanted to bend over and catch her breath, but Ye Tian set down the unprepared Qian Renxue and pushed her toward Jin Yue'er.

"You two find somewhere to rest for a while."

"Ah—!"

Jin Yue'er was already weak and limp all over.

The instant Qian Renxue leaned against her, she was pressed beneath her.

"Yue'er, are you alright? I'm sorry."

Qian Renxue finally came to her senses and hurriedly tried to help Jin Yue'er up.

Meanwhile, Ye Tian had already returned to Wisteria Residence.

He was reporting back to Bibi Dong.

"Teacher, don't be angry. I've thrown them both out."

"You get out too!"

"Ah—! Teacher, be gentler!"

From the crack in the door,

came Bibi Dong's furious shout, followed immediately by Ye Tian's scream.

Thud!

Ye Tian flew out through the crack in the door and landed facedown beside Jin Yue'er.

"Has this woman hit menopause or something?"

Ye Tian rubbed his butt, raised his head, and rolled his eyes.

Seriously.

It was bad enough that she used him as a human cushion.

She could not bear to kick her own child, so now she was using him as a punching bag.

Fortunately, she still knew her limits. It did not hurt much.

Otherwise, this half-grown boy could cry for her to see too.

Bang!

Before Ye Tian could get up, the doors of Wisteria Residence slammed shut.

Bibi Dong stood inside the door.

She suddenly hunched over, her heart pounding wildly.

Her expression was ugly.

Why had she softened and deliberately given that brat a chance to comfort that bastard child?

"Hmph! It's all that bastard's fault!"

Bibi Dong bit her red lips, flicked her sleeve, and strode away.

Before Wisteria Residence.

Qian Renxue looked at Ye Tian lying on the ground and reached out to touch his head.

The grievance from before had already vanished without a trace.

She pressed her pink lips together, embarrassment on her face.

"Ye Tian~ I'm sorry. We dragged you into this."

"It's fine, just don't touch my head."

Ye Tian looked up and said irritably.
