Chapter 344: A Lifesaving Debt, Repaying with One's Body
He Dai, upon seeing the little lifesaver arrive, immediately stepped forward properly, knelt down and began pounding his forehead—bang bang—while kowtowing.
Sui Sui was startled outright; if she hadn't still been holding Ren Shu Han's hand, she would have leapt up right away!
He Dai's temperament, though somewhat overbearing, is sometimes quite unreasonable.
At that moment, after the bang‑bang head‑banging, he still didn't forget to shout, "Thank you, little princess, for rescuing me; He Dai is grateful in his heart. In the future, if the princess needs anything, just speak directly, and He Dai will climb the mountain of swords and descend the cauldron of oil without hesitation!"
After the bang‑bang kowtow, he didn't forget to shout: "Thank you, little princess, for rescuing me; He Dai is grateful in his heart. If the princess ever needs anything, just speak, and He Dai will scale the knife mountain and plunge into the oil pot without hesitation!"
Sui Sui:? Others:?? Why does it sound like something's off?
Mrs. He, after hearing that, felt her heart seize repeatedly.
"No, child! Let you study properly—what have you read? Is 'scale the knife mountain, plunge into the oil pot' used like that?" Mrs. He laughed awkwardly yet politely: "It's 'brave fire and plunge into water', without hesitation."
He Dai didn't notice any difference; he tilted his head and, puzzled, asked, "Aren't they the same?"
Mrs. He pursed her lips, said nothing, and stared at him.
He Dai:? You adults are such a hassle; my benefactor hasn't said anything.
Between underachieving students, there are always many topics to discuss.
Feng Xuanrui and He Dai have known each other before, but they were never close.
Now that everyone has interacted for a while, they have become familiar.
Feng Xuanbin can even hold He Dai's hand while speaking.
He shed his former overbearing young master image, acting like a little dog wagging its tail, staying by Sui Sui's side and trying to hold Sui Sui's hand.
He changed from his previous overbearing young master image, like a little dog wagging its tail, staying by Sui Sui's side, trying to hold her hand.
Sui Sui didn't refuse, letting He Dai keep holding her hand.
He Dai, after managing to hold her hand, grinned broadly, laughing with his teeth showing: "Hehe, hehehehehe."
Feng Xuanrui thought his smile looked a bit silly and was about to advise Sui Sui not to get too close to such a person, lest she catch his foolishness.
As a result, He Dai lifted the hand he was holding with Sui Sui high, then shouted: "Mother, mother, I will marry the little benefactor in the future!"
Feng Xuanrui:?! Prince Qi:???!! You damn it, say it again!!! Several strands of killing intent surged from various directions.
He Dai trembled in fear, couldn't maintain his grip, honestly let go, yet still clung to Sui Sui's hand, hunched his neck, looked around, finally timidly glanced toward Mrs. He, his mouth starting to stammer: "... W-what's wrong?"
The storybooks say that a lifesaving debt cannot be repaid, only by offering one's body.
He Dai has offered his body! Seeing He Dai's completely natural expression, Feng Xuanrui could no longer control himself and rushed forward, shouting: "My sister, my sister, mine, mine, no one may marry her, no one may!!!"
Feng Xuanrui, like a cannon ignited, charged straight at He Dai. He Dai startled, eyes bulging, but didn't dodge; instead, he immediately pulled Sui Sui behind him. His strength was great, and even Ren Shu Han, whose hand he was holding with Sui Sui, was knocked off balance a few steps and forced to take cover behind him.
After hiding the people, He Dai finally spread his arms wide and shouted: "Come on, big brother‑in‑law, test me!"
Feng Xuanrui:?
"I'll damn well kill you, kill you!!!"
Feng Xuanbin was originally still getting along well with He Dai.
Seeing his sister being thought of, malice instantly rose in his heart, and his courage split to both sides.
He and Feng Xuanrui, one on the left and one on the right, formed an encirclement, looking as if they intended to trap He Dai to death.
Prince Qi's complexion darkened upon hearing He Dai say he would marry his obedient one.
Master He immediately saw trouble and hurried to smooth things over: "Ah, kids playing around is normal, they don't know these matters, they're still young, still young, jokes, not to be taken seriously."
Maybe they'll say it today and forget it tomorrow.
Moreover, the marriages of the various families' children are often tied to interests; it's not that you can be together just because you like each other.
Furthermore, Master He also understands that they came to give thanks, not to bear grudges. Prince Qi's daughter‑obsessed demeanor makes it clear that anyone who dares to make a move on his daughter will likely meet a bad end!
As for when they reach the appropriate age? That's a matter for the future.
Now they wouldn't dare pull this tiger fur off!
Mrs. He, at first glance at Sui Sui, felt the child was very eye‑pleasing.
The small face wasn't big, seemed a bit thin, but the eyes were clear, the kind of child Mrs. He liked.
Moreover, growing up in Prince Qi's mansion, she wouldn't go astray.
If Sui Sui truly can become a pair with Xiao Si, that would also be a good thing.
There are far too many things to consider for the marriage of the He Mansion young master's lady.
The marriage of the He Mansion's young lady requires many considerations.
If His Majesty doesn't want the concubine's faction to become too powerful, he naturally wouldn't approve their intention to form a kinship with Prince Qi's mansion.
So many things, even jokes, cannot be taken seriously.
The adults, smiling, tried to smooth things over, doing their best not to provoke Prince Qi's murderous intent.
Prince Qi also found it hard to argue with a child who had just been frightened.
Only thinking that in the future his obedient one will eventually have to marry made him especially displeased.
He wants to live long and long, and then stare at that damn kid.
He wants to live forever and then stare at that damn kid.
He wonders who dares touch his obedient one? Feng Xuanrui and Feng Xuanbin rushed forward, He Dai's two fists couldn't match four hands, and soon he was bound by the two brothers.
In the middle, Feng Xuanbo's hidden hand also acted; in short, Xiao Pangzi He Dai ultimately couldn't overcome and was honestly captured.
Feng Xuancang and Feng Xuanjie, being older, were not easy to confront directly.
Moreover, regardless, He Dai is a guest; confronting him directly would be impolite.
Feng Xuanrui and his peers, being young, could explain a physical play as mere teasing.
If they went straight for it, the scene would look bad.
However, they couldn't easily grab He Dai, but they could rescue the sister.
Feng Xuancang quickly rescued Sui Sui and embraced her.
【61】 Ren Shu Han anxiously moved back and forth.
Meng Jun Dong simply hadn't grasped what was happening, and at this moment he still looked around with a dazed gaze.
Song Kuan, however, had figured it out, but he was merely a lodger; many things were not easy to get involved in, so at most he could only protect Sui Sui and could not cooperate with Feng Xuanrui and the others.
Thinking of these, Song Kuan still felt some regret.
He thought...
Or, he could trick Sui Sui back to his residence to raise her.
The Song family could also afford to raise a child, and could provide the appropriate wealth and status.
Unfortunately, the paternal uncle likely wouldn't agree, and might even chase them down to the Song residence to kill them.
Thinking of these, Song Kuan let out a sigh like a little adult.
He Dai, although bound, still hadn't forgotten his intention to marry, shouting: "Sui Sui, don't worry; when I grow up, I will definitely marry you as my wife, with proper betrothal; whatever you want, I will get it for you!"
The second watch was at 19:00.
