Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*???*)

Being a person with a disability, everyone who saw his crippled leg would reveal a look of discomfort. Huangfu Xian knew from a young age that his legs were hideous, and gradually, he felt that his whole body was hideous as well.

He was just an utterly repulsive person.

Someone who shouldn't and didn't have the right to come out just to embarrass himself.

"It’s really good-looking."

Little Jing Kong's two small plump hands grasped Huangfu Xian's hand and flipped it over to examine it.

They said children don’t lie, but in reality they do, it was just that when children told lies, they even believed them themselves.

However, no child would tell such unnecessary lies to a disabled person like him.

It wasn’t like he could be tricked into getting food or play.

Little Jing Kong played with his hand, and Huangfu Xian watched Little Jing Kong doing so.

Just then, Lian'er returned.

Lian'er, seeing the little guy mysteriously appearing in the room, exclaimed in surprise!

Huangfu Xian wanted to stop her, but it was too late. Princess Ning'an was nearby, and Lian'er's exclamation alerted her.

"What happened?" Princess Ning'an stood at the doorway and asked.

Lian'er pointed inside the room, saying, "A, a child!"

Princess Ning'an stepped inside and, at a glance, recognized Little Jing Kong.

Huangfu Xian instinctively pulled back his hand, which Little Jing Kong was playing with, and resumed his usual cold demeanor.

However, a mother knew her child well. Princess Ning'an, upon entering the room, clearly saw a different side of Huangfu Xian.

Princess Ning'an walked over with a smile, "Is it Jing Kong? Do you recognize me?"

"Um... You are..." Little Jing Kong had been to Renshou Palace, so he had seen Princess Ning'an and knew she was Huangfu Xian's mother. After a quick spin of his eyes, he politely greeted, "Princess Ning'an."

Princess Ning'an smiled gently and reached out to touch his cheek.

Huangfu Xian said, "Mother."

Princess Ning'an's hand, which was about to touch Little Jing Kong's hand, paused. She turned her head to look at him and smiled, "What's wrong?"

Huangfu Xian coldly said, "I'm tired and want to rest."

Princess Ning'an let out a helpless and indulgent smile, "This is where you went wrong. Why didn't you tell your mother that you have a new friend? Your friend has just arrived. You should spend some more time playing with your new friend, there's no rush to rest."

"I'm sleepy." Huangfu Xian insisted, his eyelashes trembling, and he hurriedly added, "And he's not my friend! His bird flew into my courtyard, and he just came in to find his bird."

Little Nine who was currently ransacking Huangfu Xian's pillow: “...??”

Princess Ning'an chuckled, "Since he's already here, it doesn’t hurt to make a new friend. Jing Kong is Physician Gu's younger brother, and Empress Dowager Zhuang dotes on him. It's good for you two to be friends."

As she spoke, she bent down slightly, gently looking at Little Jing Kong, "Jing Kong, do you want to be friends with Big Brother Xian'er?"

Little Jing Kong nodded.

Princess Ning'an reached out to rub his little head.

Little Jing Kong dodged backward, both hands pressing down on his own head. He lightly patted it, saying, "My head can't be touched by other women, only JiaoJiao can touch it."

Princess Ning'an chuckled, "Okay, I won't touch it." She then turned to look outside the door, "Lian'er, go bring the chestnut cakes from my room."

"Yes!"

Lian'er turned and left.

Soon, she brought a plate of exquisite chestnut cakes.

Princess Ning'an took it and personally handed a piece to Little Jing Kong, "These are chestnut cakes I made myself. They taste different from those in the palace. Jing Kong, give it a try."

Little Jing Kong hesitated, "But, but JiaoJiao said I can't randomly eat other people's things."

Princess Ning'an said with a smile, "I'm not just anyone, I'm your Grandaunt's daughter. We're family."

Little Jing Kong thought seriously, "Hmm... then, are Big Brother Xian'er and I also family?"

Princess Ning'an nodded, "Of course, you two are family."

Things from family should be fine to eat, right?

Little Jing Kong took a slight sip of saliva and accepted the snack Princess Ning'an handed him.

Unexpectedly, before he could put it in his mouth, Huangfu Xian slapped the back of his hand.

His little hand hurt, causing his grip to loosen and the snack to fall.

Huangfu Xian coldly said, "Who allowed you to eat our food? You're not allowed to eat them!"

Princess Ning'an: "Xian'er."

Huangfu Xian seemed quite furious that he angrily knocked over the plate in Princess Ning'an's hands, causing all the snacks to fall to the ground.

Princess Ning'an's face darkened, "Xian'er!"

Huangfu Xian growled at Princess Ning'an, "My things, you're not allowed to give them to others! I hate it when you're nice to others!"

Little Jing Kong looked at Huangfu Xian with a hurt expression and muttered, "...I won't compete with you for your mother; I have JiaoJiao."

However, Huangfu Xian seemed to completely ignore his explanation, expressing disgust, "Leave! I don't want to see you! If your bird dares to fly into my courtyard again, I'll kill it and make a pot of bird soup!"

Little Nine, in the midst of causing havoc, suddenly felt his enthusiasm left!

Little Jing Kong drooped his little head, tugging at one of Little Nine's wings, and left with a dejected and pitiful look.

Little Nine who was being dragged as a mop on the ground all the way: “...”

Princess Ning'an stared at Huangfu Xian without blinking, the atmosphere in the room suddenly becoming eerie.

Lian'er felt the tense atmosphere, as if a storm was about to come.

However, Princess Ning'an ultimately took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then turned to leave.

"You too."

Huangfu Xian said to Lian’er.

Lian'er, with one foot just stepping over the threshold, grumpily withdrew her foot.

The vast room was now left with only Huangfu Xian.

He gazed at the silent courtyard, as if no one had ever been there, as if from the beginning to the end of the vast world, there was only him alone.

This was fine.

This was the best.

He didn't need friends.

He didn't need pity.

He didn't need happiness.

Approaching him with pity and sympathy, they would all eventually abandon him with fear and disgust.

He had long grown tired of it.

"Little big brother!"

That little mushroom unexpectedly sprouted up from under the windowsill again!

Huangfu Xian was so startled that he staggered, tumbling down from the wheelchair with a clatter…
