"Thank you for reminding me. I'll make him something nice to eat later. No need for you to worry. I'll take good care of my baby."
"If I hadn't reminded you, would you have waited until the sun was high in the sky and still thought he was just being lazy? Give me Xiao Chunan, I'll take better care of him than you do. You've only corrupted him!"
As a woman herself, Yan Liu could sense recently that Minagawa Izumi's closeness to Xiao Chu Nan was more unusual than before. However, Yan Liu had not investigated it further. Minagawa Izumi must have been coaxing and seducing Xiao Chu Nan, otherwise why would Xiao Chu Nan have been so clingy to her a few days ago?
This is something that Xiao Chunan absolutely cannot hand over.
"Little Chu Nan, tell me, have I taught you bad habits? Who treats you better?"
Chu Yinan swallowed hard, regretting that he hadn't fallen asleep earlier.
Who treats me better? If we're talking about the level of care and attention I give, it's definitely Aunt Liu. But in terms of how much she cares for me, the female demon is actually quite good to me too, not much worse than Aunt Liu.
How did the seafood porridge incident get discovered? Could it be that she just snitched? We'll deal with her later.
But what can I do now? There's no way to answer this kind of question, and I can't just answer it casually, otherwise the other person will be hurt, which is something I don't want to see. They are both my close elders, not my mothers but people who are even more like mothers to me.
Why did things develop like this? The female demon's attitude towards confronting Aunt Liu has become much stronger, completely unlike her previous avoidance.
"How could a child know who is good to him? He was tricked into going down the wrong path by being fed sweet words. Before the incident, he must have thought that only those who whispered sweet nothings in his ear were good to him!"
Minagawa Izumi's unspoken meaning was a veiled criticism of Yan Liu, who was simultaneously draining children's energy in front of the demons while stirring up trouble and speaking ill of others.
"Don't spread rumors. When I was being intimate with Xiao Chunan, I was in no mood to mention you."
Bachmann originally came to check if Xiao Chunan was asleep, but as soon as he approached the room, he heard Yan Liu and Minagawa Izumi arguing in a language he couldn't understand.
Is this because they think the other party can't teach the child well and they're trying to steal Xiao Chunan away?
"They're arguing, is it inappropriate for us to go in?"
Iori Risa felt a mix of emotions. She was unaware of the extent of the intimacy between Xiao Chu Nan and his elders. She thought to herself, "This family really values their child's education. Neither of them are Xiao Chu Nan's close relatives, but everyone in the family treats him like family."
This made her feel a little guilty. She should be more careful. If she were to have such thoughts about their children and it were discovered, she would probably be attacked by them all. She should also advise Bachman to be careful.
Bachman said, "If Xiao Chunan were any smarter, he would come with us now. We need to go inside."
"Why? Aren't you afraid of getting insulted too?"
"That's impossible. Minagawa Izumi and Enryu usually don't see each other. They'll only stop arguing if Xiao Chu Nan is pulled away."
Bachmann went in anyway, looking at them with surprise and apology, as if she had accidentally stumbled upon Yanliu and Minagawa Izumi's argument. She said earnestly:
“You two shouldn’t bring the child along when you’re arguing. What if you scare him? Adults should handle their own problems. If Xiao Chunan doesn’t want to take a nap, why don’t you come shopping with us?”
Chu Yinan looked at Bachmann as if he were a savior, and at Iori-sensei who was standing at the door and hadn't come in. He had just been hoping that Heinrich would descend from the sky to save the day, but he didn't expect that it would be his stepmother who came.
But he felt uneasy because they left without saying a word.
Chu Yinan climbed out of Yan Liu's arms, gave them both a hug, and then said something, or perhaps nothing at all.
“I’m not a child anymore. I make my own decisions about many things, regardless of whether they are good or bad. It’s not entirely anyone’s responsibility. If it is, then I share some of the blame.”
After speaking, Chu Yinan glanced at them a few more times, still worried that they might suddenly start arguing. Indeed, both mothers were quite calm, so he quickly followed the young mother and slipped away.
After leaving the room, Iori Risa took the boy's hand, but didn't speak immediately, afraid that the two people in the room might hear what she said.
Iori Risa only breathed a sigh of relief after she stepped out of the house and into the courtyard.
"Xiao Chunan, do your parents often argue?"
Calling it an argument would be an exaggeration. The tension between Aunt Liu and the female demon was less intense than that between Yu Tang and Sister Xuan Ya back then. The two sisters still bicker occasionally, but Yu Tang is the type to avoid trouble, and Sister Xuan Ya isn't one to hold grudges. Usually, they say something and that's it. When they're not bickering, they can still get along well and chat.
"It wasn't really an argument, just a little disagreement."
Sensing that Xiao Chu Nan didn't want to discuss the parents' matter too much, Iori Risa didn't press the issue further. Although the general perception is that teachers have a responsibility to help students resolve family conflicts, and not only have to take care of the students, but also their parents, in a family with this level of background, no teacher's persuasion would be effective!
“Little Chunan, is there anywhere you’d like to go? You stay at the manor all day and never really go out to play,” Bachman asked.
"Didn't you want to go shopping, little mama? You don't have to accommodate me, I'll just go with you. But if you want a tour guide, I can't be one, you'll have to call a maid."
Bachman rubbed his head, not knowing what to say to him: "Do you think I need you to be my tour guide on Glory Island? I know it much better than you do."
It seems so, I'm thinking about it!
In my mind, I treated them as guests of Lefie Manor, and that's exactly what I did. But what difference is there between me and a guest? Few maids in the manor treated me like a mistress; they all wanted to sleep with me.
"Then I can only say it's up to you, anywhere is fine."
Aunt Hyun-eun suddenly appeared. She had been troubled by her status as a guest and could not approach Xiao Chunan as freely as Minagawa Izumi and Enryu. Now that she had finally found someone with a similar status, she had the idea of forming an "alliance".
Are you guys planning to go out and have some fun? Would you mind if I came along?
Chapter 89 Curtain
After arriving, Bachmann observed Lee Hyeon-eun and her daughter for a period of time. Mainly because she was not related to Heinrich or Yan Liu, but was more or less a client and friend of Yan Liu. It was quite unexpected that she was invited to stay at Lefebvre Estate.
However, after observing, it was found that it was more about Xiao Chunan's "face". Both mother and daughter were quite close to him. I felt that Jiang Xuanya had a good relationship with Xiao Chunan when we stayed together before, but I didn't expect her to be good with her mother as well.
She didn't refuse: "Of course you can. Hyun Eun, where are you planning to go?"
Lee Hyun-eun shook her head: "I don't have any specific plans yet. I was thinking of wandering around. I just happened to see you guys getting ready to go out, so I came over to ask if it was convenient. If you're going to meet some personal friends, then I won't bother you."
“That’s easy to do. I just got the little guy from Yan Liu and was thinking of taking him to the shopping district.”
When Lee Hyun-eun heard Bachman mention Yan Liu, she wondered if the other party was also interested in responding to the "alliance".
At Lefèvre Manor, playing away from home, it's troublesome that Yan Liu and Minagawa Izumi have been occupying Xiao Chu Nan's territory. Neither Bachmann nor Lee Hyun-eun can say anything. If they join forces, at least there will be fewer competitors and the enemy will be clearer.
However, it wouldn't be appropriate to say something like "we'll cooperate and take more of Xiao Chu Nan" outright. So, as if sending a telegram, Li Xuan'en said more subtly:
"That must be really difficult. Xiao Chunan is often carried in Yan Liu and Jungkawa Koji's arms. Sometimes Xuan Ya wants to play with him but doesn't know where Xiao Chunan has been taken."
“I’ve had the same problem too,” Bachmann agreed. The two young women exchanged a glance and silently formed a secret cooperative friendship.
Iori Risa didn't care about them anymore. Bachman was still chatting beside her, and she took the initiative to hug Chu Yinan and get close to him.
"Is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
Generally speaking, when students encounter teachers during holidays, the most common questions they are asked should not be things like, "Have you finished your homework?", "Have you reviewed your lessons?", or "How much study time do you spend each day?"
When Chu Yinan was in elementary and middle school, she was asked this question by her teachers during holidays. This was the first time she had ever been asked where she wanted to go for fun like this.
"No, I usually just stay home during my holidays. Going out is too tiring."
Could it be that because others walk one meter at a time, and your short legs have to take several more steps, you ended up going out...? Iori Risa found the thought rather amusing, and a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.
"Is it still lunch break? Are you feeling tired and don't want to go out and explore? Should I get you a hotel room so we can go to sleep?"
This is the first time I've ever run into a teacher during a holiday and been asked by my beautiful homeroom teacher if I want to go to a hotel for a nap.
Bachmann patted her on the shoulder: "When I brought him out just now, you were hiding outside the whole time. Now, you're already talking about making decisions?"
Risa Iori laughed and said, "I'm still in the discussion stage. You haven't made a decision yet either. Besides, what's wrong with my suggestion? Take a half-hour nap first. You'll have more energy to play. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to go shopping in a daze."
Honestly, Chu Yinan didn't really think that if they went to a hotel and checked in, they could be out in half an hour, and it was also questionable whether they would have the energy after a lunch break.
"How about this, let's go to the beauty salon for a massage first, and then we can go shopping in the commercial district and buy some food," Bachmann decided.
Shopping is just shopping; it's about wandering around aimlessly, buying whatever catches your eye, like a treasure hunt.
While online stores are convenient, once they are "monitored" by big data, the content they push is all the same, making it pointless to browse and losing the fun of "browsing".
They ordered a maid to drive them there, and the three women took Chu Yinan straight to the beauty salon.
Bachmann has a black card membership at a beauty salon that looks exceptionally high-end and luxurious, where she receives top-tier service. This salon doesn't just offer facials; it basically combines all kinds of massage services and even has a sauna.
Suddenly, Lee Hyun-eun squeezed Chu Yinan's hand, pointed to a place that read "Mother and Baby Breastfeeding Room," and joked:
"Little Chunan, would you like to go there to play?"
Bachmann and Iori Risa looked over, puzzled, as they were unaware of Lee Hyun-eun's constitution.
"No, no, what's there to do there?" Chu Yinan shook his head repeatedly, knowing that Aunt Xuanen was joking.
Because she was past the breastfeeding period and couldn't suckle anything, Chu Yinan knew that very clearly.
After the female masseuse arrived, she guided the group to lie face down on the massage bed and then began to massage them with essential oils. Her technique was far superior to the half-baked skills Chu Yinan had previously learned.
The women were chatting and laughing at first, but as the female technician applied oil to their bodies until they shone and relieved the pressure on their muscles, they quickly fell into a quiet rest.
He would only turn over occasionally when reminded by the technician.
The massage order seems to be quite deliberate. The back is massaged first, as the guest is not yet fully asleep at this stage and is in a very comfortable state. When the front of the body is massaged and the guest is laid down, they are almost asleep.
They also lower a curtain, hanging down to the guests' waist to cover their lower bodies. I don't know what it's for; maybe it's to prevent people from moving around and disturbing the guests' rest.
I feel like this curtain has appeared in some comic works as well, it's kind of creepy.
Chu Yinan was also given an essential oil massage. The young female masseuse was startled by the boy's long penis, but she still professionally gave him a complete massage.
After the massage ended, the female masseuses left, leaving the guests to rest. Chu Yinan, however, couldn't fall asleep because of the sticky massage.
Looking at the several mature women who were still resting, their upper and lower bodies separated by a curtain, he had a mischievous thought in his mind.
"Is Aunt Hyun-eun asleep?"
Lee Hyun-eun is not a big fan of sleeping in the same bed, and since it was her first time getting a massage here, she wasn't sound asleep. She felt the little guy climb onto her massage bed, but a curtain was hanging down, obscuring her lower body, so she didn't know what Xiao Chunan was doing.
Worried that speaking suddenly would wake the two people next door, she didn't make a sound, but simply squeezed Xiao Chunan's hand in response.
The essential oil she chose promotes blood circulation, somewhat like applying safflower oil? Her body felt incredibly hot, as if she had just finished exercising.
Suddenly, Lee Hyun-eun felt something brushing against her. Her beautiful face flushed, and her heart raced. While she was filled with anticipation, she also worriedly watched Bachman and Iori Risa beside her, afraid that they would wake up.
Chapter 90 The Same Trick Repeated
Risa Iori woke up relatively early. For her, body care mainly focuses on exercise and fitness, and she rarely gets massages like this. So she dozed off for a while and then woke up, wondering how long she had slept and whether she had overslept and everyone had left.
However, seeing that Bachmann and Lee Hyeon-eun were still in the next room, she breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully she hadn't overslept.
Lee Hyun-eun doesn't seem to be in very good condition?
The curtain didn't just cover the massage bed area for one person; it hung down from the ceiling, effectively dividing the room into two spaces.
Looking over, Iori Risa saw that Lee Hyun-eun's breathing was a little heavy. Although her breathing was not loud, the rise and fall of her chest indicated this. She also raised her arm to cover her eyes, as if she was enduring it.
She's sweating so much... This room is indeed slowly turning into a light sauna, but Lee Hyun-eun is sweating way too much.
"Hyun Eun, are you not used to saunas? If you feel uncomfortable, you can ask someone to turn it off."
When her name was suddenly called, Lee Hyun-eun was so startled that she almost sat up. Her heart, which was already pounding, felt like it was about to jump out of her throat.
Hopefully they haven't noticed... Little Chu Nan is so naughty, pinching things with his little hands...
