Chapter 16: It's Not That You're Incapable, You're Just Weak at Heart

Yu Danxue’s face lit up with delight, her voice rising slightly. “Xiao Sheng, can the four of us live together? This is the first time I’ve had so many friends my age—I want to play with them a little longer.”
Yu Zhisheng felt a pang of sadness hearing this. His little grandaunt was from a millennium ago, born into a prestigious family, and due to circumstances, she had almost no friends.
Now, having finally made a few good friends her age, she was truly happy.
“Of course,” he said with a gentle smile. “Even after the show ends, you can call them and arrange to meet up.”
Originally, his smile was like a bright moon shining on snow—pure yet quietly solemn. But now, as he smiled, it was like the morning sun rising, the spring snow melting away.
His breathtaking charm stunned everyone present and the viewers watching live.
“Ah, I’m dead!”
“Screenshot, screenshot! Everyone screenshot like crazy!”
*slurping* “So much drooling happening!”
“Brother is so beautiful! This is the first time I’ve used ‘beautiful’ to describe a man.”
“Ah! I finally understand how handsome and gentle Yu Zhisheng is. A man like this, born into wealth, simply flawless.”
“Wuwuwu, I suddenly envy the woman who will marry Yu Zhisheng someday.”
“Damn, what kind of woman can marry such a perfect man?”
“Xiao Sheng, your smile is so handsome; you should smile more often.” Yu Danxue tiptoed and gently patted his shoulder.
“There’s an old saying: smiling drives away bad luck and brings good fortune.”
Yu Zhisheng blinked. “Little grandaunt, where did you hear that?”
He truly wanted to know how their ancestors raised her to be such a little grandaunt.
Yu Danxue looked at him as if he were clueless. “Everyone says that.”
“Xiao Sheng, promise me you’ll smile more from now on, okay?”
Yu Zhisheng scratched his face, feeling a rare twinge of embarrassment. “Little grandaunt, let’s see how things go, alright?”
“No way, my nosebleed is coming! Such a shy and adorable brother—I can’t handle it.”
“Little grandaunt, you’re my goddess. Please make my husband smile more.”
“Hey, Yu Zhisheng is my husband! No stealing him!”
“How can such a good person have so many haters?”

“Looking back, I’m so grateful Yu Zhisheng’s family background is strong and his mind resilient; otherwise, who knows what he’d have become by now.”
Yu Danxue nodded and began chatting with her three friends.
Chirping and chattering like four adorable larks, plump and utterly lovable.
“Ah! Ah Wei’s dead again.”
“Babies, all kinds of colored sacks are ready. Which color do you want? Auntie will bring it to you.”
“Four precious little ones, which shall I choose? Being a mom without pain is just too wonderful.”
“Four cute little heads huddled together, chirping so obediently. I dream of having such a well-behaved child someday.”
“Look at my son jumping all over the place, then look at the four obedient kids on the live stream—I sighed deeply.”
The four children were discussing where to explore in the village next.
“Let’s go on an adventure in the village!” Luo Jian raised her hand, excitement shining in her eyes. “My grandparents live in the countryside. It’s so much fun there.”
“Unlike the city, with its many cars and people, you always need adults to accompany you.”
“In the countryside, we can climb mountains and cross rivers; we don’t need adults tagging along.”
“Have you forgotten about choosing the houses?” The director, feeling ignored, shouted through a megaphone, “If you don’t pick houses, I’ll make you all sleep in the cattle pen.”
Hearing this, the four children dashed over to choose their houses.
Luo Jian and Yu Danxue each picked a house they liked.
Xiao Yun, considering Feng Doudou was a girl, let her choose the better of the two remaining houses.
“Aren’t we living together?” Yu Danxue suddenly remembered. “Then why are we choosing houses?”
Luo Jian exclaimed, “We live together, but the adults have to live elsewhere. We can’t make them sleep in the cattle pen.”
Yu Zhisheng and Qi Kang exchanged a look. “...Thanks for thinking of us.”
Standing nearby, Duan Lele bit her lip, her dark eyes glinting with malice as they fixed on Yu Danxue.
It was all because of that little brat; she wouldn’t let her off easily.
Yu Danxue was telling her friends where they would go next.
With friends by their sides, Xiao Yun and Feng Doudou both looked much better. One’s face was lit up with a smile, and the other no longer cried or cowered.
“Grandma told us there’s a river in the village… oops!” Luo Jian hadn’t finished when Qi Kang lightly tapped her head and scolded, “If you dare go near the river, I’ll break your legs.”

“Children mustn’t play by the river. Every year, some kids who play there end up drowning.”
Yu Zhisheng hurried to soothe them, “Little grandaunt, let’s just play around the village and not go near the river, okay?”
If he dared let her go by the river, his dad would surely fly over and break his legs.
He definitely didn’t want to be beaten in front of the live audience.
Yu Danxue, fundamentally obedient, agreed. “Xiao Sheng, you’re not allowed near the river either.”
“You’re a big kid, but you’re not very competent. If you go near the river, you’ll easily fall.”
Yu Zhisheng took a deep breath and forced a smile. “Little grandaunt, in what way am I not competent?”
“Ptooey!”
“Hahaha, spread the word—Yu Zhisheng is incompetent!”
“Spread the word—Yu Zhisheng is incompetent!”
“So funny. Brother realized his words were off but it was too late.”
“Curious about how my husband is incompetent? He plays with me happily every night.”
“Hey, you need some stain remover.”
The phrase “Yu Zhisheng is incompetent” quickly trended, drawing a flood of viewers.
“I’m here to see how Yu Zhisheng is incompetent.”
“New fans turning loyal want to see what’s wrong with our brother, who’s so loving every night.”
“Hey, you need some stain remover.”
“You can’t even carry a suitcase properly, and you’re panting going upstairs. Your fitness is fake.” Yu Danxue stated seriously.
“Even I’m better than you. If you’re not incompetent, then what are you?”
Yu Zhisheng wished he could slap himself. If only he had gone along with little grandaunt’s teasing, but now the whole nation knew he was incompetent.
“Little grandaunt, that suitcase weighs over thirty pounds. I carried it for a long way.”
He was referring to her suitcase.
No one knew what was inside, but it was heavy.
Yu Danxue looked disdainful. “I could carry it myself, and you still say things like that.”
“Xiao Sheng, I think you’re not incompetent, just very weak.”
