Chapter 593

Merely a few hours is certainly not enough.

Jia Hui offered the other party a few words of encouragement, then did not say much more.

While teaching the other party was a trivial matter for his level of skill, with a renowned master like Jia Xu already present, it was unnecessary.

He understood that what the other party truly lacked was care and concern.

This was something his father had not provided.

Even his mother was much the same.

Yuan Niang naturally loved him very much, but because she knew her own time was limited, and her husband was unreliable,

she had always educated him strictly, maintaining the posture of a stern mother.

Consequently, Xu Si Zhun could be said to be a child who had lacked love since he was small.

His timid personality had a great deal to do with this.

Therefore.

Jia Hui wanted to enlighten him and draw their relationship closer.

He could also let him open his heart and live more brightly and positively.

Thus.

He sat down with him, even sitting cross-legged on the ground.

He told him some interesting little stories.

Such as Grimm's Fairy Tales.

"Once upon a time, there was a king who had several daughters, all of whom were very beautiful. Especially his youngest daughter, who was as beautiful as a celestial being; even the sun, which had seen so much, was astonished by her beauty every time it shone upon her face."

"Near the king's palace, there was a dark, deep forest. Under an old linden tree in this forest, there was a pool, and the pool was very deep. When the weather was hot, the little princess often came to this forest and sat by the cool pool. When she felt bored sitting there, she would take out a golden ball and toss it into the air, then catch it with her hand. This became her favorite game."

Jia Hui's voice flowed smoothly, and the story he told was particularly evocative.

Xu Si Zhun usually read only articles filled with archaic particles and the like; he had rarely heard such stories.

In an instant, he was immediately enthralled!

It was not just him.

Yuan Niang, who sat to the side, quiet and not disturbing the two, was the same.

She, too, had been raised very strictly by her mother since she was small.

She had never heard these interesting stories from her father or mother.

She stared blankly and intently at Jia Hui, who had one arm around his son's shoulder: "Unfortunately, one time, the little princess reached out her two small hands to catch the golden ball, but the ball did not fall into her hands; instead, it fell to the ground and rolled straight into the pool. The little princess stared fixedly at the golden ball, but suddenly, it vanished into the pool. Because the water in the pool was very deep and the bottom could not be seen, the little princess began to cry, and her crying grew louder and louder, until she was crying most sorrowfully."

"As she cried, the little princess suddenly heard someone say loudly: 'Oh, Princess, what is the matter with you? If even the stones heard you wailing like this, they would feel heartache.' Hearing this, the little princess looked all around, wanting to figure out where the voice was coming from, but unexpectedly, she discovered a frog stretching its ugly, fat, big head out of the water."

"Wow, how can a frog talk? It must be a monster!!" Xu Si Zhun exclaimed.

Jia Hui smiled, "You can understand it that way."

In the eyes of Easterners, this was undoubtedly a monster.

Thus, he continued the story.

The story of the Frog Prince was not long; it was finished in less than three thousand words.

Before they knew it, the story was over.

Xu Si Zhun and Yuan Niang, this mother and son, both felt they hadn't heard enough.

They looked at Jia Hui with eager eyes.

Jia Hui smiled: "I can tell you another one in a moment, but you must first tell me what you feel about this story of 'The Frog Prince'."

"The prince is very pitiful; the handsome prince was cursed by a wicked witch and turned into an ugly frog, living in a dirty, deep pool. Compared to his previous life of luxury, life in the deep pool could certainly be described as hell."

Hearing his words.

Xu Si Zhun thought about it with excitement and anticipation, then said sympathetically about the Frog Prince.

He felt deeply inside, because he felt that he was like the suffering Frog Prince, and then a kind person like Jia Hui appeared to break the curse for him and restore his freedom!

Jia Hui was like the incarnation of a god.

Because in this story, the prince held fast to a faith symbolizing loyalty to the gods, and the princess who broke the curse for the prince could, to a certain extent, be seen as the incarnation of a god.

And in his heart, Jia Hui, who gave him his education and treated him so well, was like a god who had suddenly descended.

The way he looked at Jia Hui became increasingly respectful.

Jia Hui patted his head and praised: "Very smart!"

Yuan Niang felt just as deeply; could she also, like the prince or princess in the story, meet her true love? Ultimately allowing herself to escape the sea of bitterness, be reborn, and obtain the ultimate salvation of life.

She fantasized!

But soon she gave a bitter smile, shaking her head to cast off this thought that should not exist.

She looked again at the scene of Jia Hui and her son getting along warmly, and was suddenly stunned!

This scene, how much it looked like father and son!

And in fact!

Compared to the irresponsible Xu Lingyi!

Jia Hui at this moment undoubtedly looked more like a father!

The more she thought.

The more subtle Yuan Niang felt inside: "I cannot keep letting my thoughts run wild; what is wrong with me, coming here and constantly having wild thoughts!"

She was suddenly a little afraid!

It seemed as if she were doing something taboo!

She wanted to escape.

However.

When Jia Hui, as a reward, began to tell Xu Si Zhun "The Children of the Two Kings"!

Hearing the name of this story, her imagination ran wild, and in an instant, her mind went off in the wrong direction!

【428】 Taboos are meant to be broken! You are ten thousand times better than his biological father.

After finishing one story.

Jia Hui also gave the other party a toy.

It was a 5x5 Rubik's Cube.

Then, under the shocked gaze of the other party, after explaining the gameplay and tricks to him~

he showed off a bit.

Easily forty seconds.

Breaking a modern world record.

Then Xu Si Zhun, filled with admiration, asked Jia Hui for advice again, and then excitedly began to study the cube.

Now the time was already past ten o'clock.

It was almost time for a meal.

Jia Hui then said to Yuan Niang: "Wait and eat at the prefecture with the child later."

"Mm."

Yuan Niang also suddenly realized how time had flown.

She hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Then Jia Xu was called over to resume teaching Xu Si Zhun his lessons.

Xu Si Zhun reluctantly put down the Rubik's Cube.

And began to study earnestly and diligently again.

It was just that the time that had just passed was clearly unforgettable for him.

In fact, it could be said to be the happiest time he had ever had in his life!

All of this was given to him by Jia Hui.

He kept it firmly in his heart.
