Chapter 137: You Go Wash the Bowls!

Qianshou Feijian Residence.

Lian Ye returned home and just placed the Food Box into the kitchen.

Qianshou Feijian then walked into the house carrying a bag of items.

Lian Ye heard the noise and was just about to go out to check.

He then saw Qianshou Feijian take a bottle of milk out of the bag and said:

"The milk at home had expired, so I bought a new bottle."

As he said so, he placed the milk in the most conspicuous spot in the kitchen.

Lian Ye was slightly startled; it was obvious that the milk was prepared for him.

After all, this old kid never had the habit of drinking milk.

Since being adopted by Qianshou Feijian, he has been able to have a glass of milk every night before sleep.

Back then, this old kid was displeased with his Uchiha Shun, but he never shortchanged Lian Ye in daily life.

He not only gave him a large allowance, but also personally delivered milk before bedtime.

Thinking of this, Lian Ye's mouth twitched upward slightly.

This feeling of being cared for... is really nice.

He looked at the milk on the table, feeling warm inside.

Qianshou Feijian, that old kid, is actually a decent person!

Drinking milk regularly caused Lian Ye to develop the habit of having a glass of milk before sleep.

Sometimes, if he skips a cup, he even suffers brief insomnia.

Unfortunately, there are no such conditions on the Battlefield.

Over time, he stopped thinking about milk altogether.

Now, seeing the milk on the table, it inevitably evoked Lian Ye's original memories.

Qianshou Feijian saw Lian Ye frozen in place and felt a tightening in his heart.

Could this kid have noticed something wrong with the milk?!

As Lian Ye's strength grew, there were things he dared not do openly and brazenly, fearing Lian Ye would notice any abnormality.

So on his way back, he added something to the milk.

As long as he doesn't tamper with the milk at home, the risk of exposure drops dramatically.

But Lian Ye's reaction made him a bit nervous.

This kid is best at using poison, so perhaps he discovered a clue.

Qianshou Feijian observed Lian Ye's expression without showing any emotion, trying to gauge whether the other had noticed the problem.

Fortunately, he did not see anger or fury on Lian Ye's face.

Seeing this, Qianshou Feijian couldn't help but sigh in relief.

The kid was merely distracted and did not notice the milk's issue.

He then said, how could such a thing be exposed?

It must be that recent stress is too great, causing him to be paranoid.

Looks like he really needs to rest properly for two days.

…

"Kid, what are you thinking?"

Qianshou Feijian's words pulled Lian Ye's thoughts back to reality.

"It's nothing," Lian Ye said to mask his embarrassment, quickly shifting the topic, "Since you're back, the bowls are yours to wash."

"You go wash the bowls!"

At first, the task of washing the bowls was handled by Qianshou Feijian.

Since he became Hokage, his trips home have become fewer and fewer, and he simply has no time to wash the bowls.

The dishwashing now has to be done by Lian Ye.

Not only cooking but also washing dishes, he has become a full-time cook for the Qianshou household.

No wonder the summoned Shadow Clone Jutsu always mocks him.

Lian Ye pointed at the two Food Boxes by the sink and ordered Qianshou Feijian:

"Go wash the bowls clean; this is something you should have done in the first place!"

Cooking is already hard enough for him; he can't also have to wash the bowls, right?

Before, Qianshou Feijian was not at home, so there was no way.

This time it's different; this old kid is back!

Upon hearing that, Qianshou Feijian's eyelids twitched wildly as he looked at Lian Ye in disbelief.

"Kid, you want me to wash the bowls?!"

He, the dignified Second Hokage of Konoha Village, toils daily for the Village's affairs, even finding it hard to sleep peacefully.

After finally getting a bit of rest, he is called to wash the bowls?!

Lian Ye, seeing Qianshou Feijian's unwilling expression, retorted irritably:

"After being Hokage for a few days, have you forgotten the household rules?"

Hearing that, Qianshou Feijian was a bit bewildered, but soon recalled.

The dishwashing was still his own decree...

Back then, he cooked while Lian Ye washed the bowls.

Later, it switched to Lian Ye cooking and him washing the bowls.

Since becoming the Hokage, he spends every day in the office handling paperwork, rarely returns home to eat, and always has Lian Ye finish the meals and deliver them.

Over time, he forgot about washing the dishes.

Only after Lian Ye reminded him did he remember.

……

"Uncle, you aren't trying to shirk, are you?" Lian Ye frowned and looked at Qianshou Feijian.

If this old kid simply refuses to wash the dishes, he truly has no way to deal with him.

The final outcome should be…

Lian Ye, while stewing in irritation, washed the dishes clean.

Damn, this is too pathetic!

Fortunately, the thing Lian Ye feared did not happen.

Qianshou Feijian is not the type to break his word; he honestly went to the sink to run water and wash the dishes.

The kitchen echoed with the sound of running water and the clatter of plates.

Lian Ye leaned against the kitchen doorway, watched Qianshou Feijian working earnestly, and nodded approvingly.

"Uncle, that's how it should be."

I can't keep exhausting myself while letting this old kid enjoy it, can I?

Qianshou Feijian said nothing, just washed the dishes silently.

Lian Ye went to the living room, leaned on the sofa, and leisurely took out a novel to leaf through.

"It feels great not having to wash dishes…"

The first thing he did when he returned to the village was cook for Qianshou Feijian.

After the meal was ready, he still had to deliver it.

That wasn't the end; once back home, he had to start washing dishes again.

He lived like that for several whole years.

This time, he finally didn't have to wash dishes!

It's not easy…

While Lian Ye was reading the novel, Qianshou Feijian had already finished washing the dishes.

He carried a glass of milk into the living room and handed it to Lian Ye, who was still reading.

"Kid, finish the milk and then go to sleep."

Lian Ye closed the novel, took the milk, and drank it in one gulp.

Qianshou Feijian was right back then…

Having a glass of milk before bed does help with growing taller.

Especially since he began developing in recent years, his growth rate has accelerated.

He can gain several centimeters in just half a year.

Lian Ye remembers that at fourteen he was only 1.60 m, and after just half a year his Height rose to 1.65 m.

He believes that within a few years he'll reach 1.80 m.

……

"Uncle, I'm going back to sleep now."

Lian Ye finished the milk, then got up and returned to his room.

Since he controlled the dosage this time, Lian Ye didn't immediately lie down to sleep.

Qianshou Feijian looked at the cup in his hand, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Counting back, it's been a long time since he studied this kid.

This time, he must study him properly!

Qianshou Feijian sat on the sofa, preparing to wait for the trance drug to take full effect.

He took out the novel Lian Ye had read, to pass the time.

After an unknown amount of time, Qianshou Feijian sensed that Lian Ye had fallen into a complete coma.

Only then did he set the novel aside and go to Lian Ye's room.

Looking at the comatose Lian Ye, Qianshou Feijian murmured softly.

"I wonder if this kid has noticed the changes in his body?"

Before the words finished, he had already taken Lian Ye and left Senju Clan Land.
