Chapter 9

Being invisible also has its advantages. For example, if Ruan Qiuping wanted to bypass the bodyguards' sight and enter this luxurious villa, he would have to think hard and think of every possible way. But now, he just followed Xiao Yuhuan and walked in with a swagger.

However, after Xiao Yuhuan entered the gate, he did not enter the villa building that the couple and the child had just entered, but went around to the back of the villa and walked into a small wooden house.

Ruan Qiuping wanted to follow in to see what Xiao Yuhuan was doing inside, but he was a step too slow. Before he reached the door, Xiao Yuhuan entered the wooden house and locked it.

Ruan Qiuping walked around the wooden house and found it very strange, without even a window.

Ruan Qiuping originally wanted to move in instantly, but he didn't expect that his magic power was too weak after being reduced by nine points. He wanted to move into the wooden house, but almost moved into the pool next to the wooden house.

"What are you doing in the house, Master? Why don't you go to the main house with Mr. Yu and the others?"

Ruan Qiuping also wanted to know, so he hurried over.

Another person yawned: "Catch up on some sleep. I heard that Master Yu Huan couldn't sleep for most of the night. And because of his birthday tonight, he took a flight here at five this morning. He must be sleepy now."

It turned out that he was sleeping.

Ruan Qiuping breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Xiao Yuhuan was put in solitary confinement.

Ruan Qiuping estimated that it would take several hours for Xiao Yuhuan to wake up, and there was no point in just waiting here. It just so happened that he hadn't been out much during the two days since he came to earth, so he took this opportunity to go out for a walk.

Ruan Qiuping's original plan was pretty good. He was thinking of eating, drinking and having fun in the human world.

But he forgot that to do things in the heavenly realm one must rely on magic power, while to go out in the human world one cannot do without financial resources.

But the few hundred dollars he had was not even enough to support him walking through the nearby commercial street.

Ruan Qiuping was still wearing a single layer of clothing. Although he was not cold, he still attracted the attention of those who were wearing cotton clothes.

So Ruan Qiuping used the money to buy a set of thick clothes, then ate something, and bought some small odds and ends, and the money was soon spent.

Ruan Qiuping reached out and touched his not-very-full stomach, looked at the gradually darkening sky, and staggered back to the villa.

After Ruan Qiuping arrived at the cabin, he did not see Xiao Yuhuan. Instead, he saw the little boy who was dressed up brightly and whom he had seen at the front door, knocking hard on the door of the cabin.

Seeing that knocking on the door was useless, the little boy started kicking the door. The bang bang bang sound was really frustrating to hear.

While kicking, he also shouted Yu Huan's name, asking him to open the door.

“Squeak—”

The wooden door was opened. Little Yu Huan opened the door expressionlessly. He looked down at the boy who was half a head shorter than him and said, "Yu Fan, what do you want to do?"

Yu Fan raised his head and said in a rather impolite tone: "Let me in, I want to go in and play too."

"No." Xiao Yuhuan refused.

Yu Fan said angrily: "Is this your house? Is your name written on it?!"

"... Second Young Master... The Eldest Young Master has lived in this house since he was born. Let's go play somewhere else..." The maid beside Yu Fan advised cautiously.

"No, I want to play in this room!" Yu Fan stomped his feet in anger.

Xiao Yuhuan looked down at his watch and said, "The birthday banquet is about to start. I'll leave first."

After saying that, he walked out of the cabin and locked the door himself on tiptoe.

As soon as little Yu Huan took the key out of the lock, Yu Fan rushed over to grab it.

Little Yu Huan raised the key in his hand, looked down at Yu Fan, and asked: "Do you want it?"

Yu Fan stared at little Yu Huan.

Xiao Yuhuan suddenly raised his hand and threw the key into the pool next to him.

"Go and fish it out. If you find it, I'll give you the key and the wooden house." Xiao Yuhuan said with a smile, and then left alone.

Yu Fan's eyes were red, and he seemed to be extremely angry. He snatched the toy plane from the maid's hand and threw it fiercely at the back of little Yu Huan's head.

Then, he saw that the toy plane suddenly paused in the air before hitting Yu Huan, as if it hit a wall of air, and then fell to the ground.

Yu Huan was unharmed.

Yu Fan opened his eyes wide in shock.

Ruan Qiuping took a deep breath and rubbed his belly - the toy hit him so hard that it hurt.

Ruan Qiuping lifted up his shirt and took a look, only to see that his abdomen had turned purple from the blow he had received from Xiao Yuhuan.

"There's a ghost!" Yu Fan screamed in fear and ran away.

Xiao Yuhuan was stunned for a moment and turned to look.

He saw nothing except the broken toy airplanes.

"Little Yu Huan!"

Seeing that there was no one around, Ruan Qiuping cancelled his invisible state, walked out from behind the rockery, and jumped in front of Xiao Yuhuan.

Xiao Yuhuan was stunned for a moment, but the moment he confirmed that it was Ruan Qiuping, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Then, his round, bright eyes curved like crescent moons.

Little Yuhuan stretched out his arms and threw himself into Ruan Qiuping's arms.

"Ruan Qiuping—"

Little Yuhuan happily shouted Ruan Qiuping's name.

"Call me Brother Qiuping!" Ruan Qiuping corrected.

“Ruan Qiuping, Ruan Qiuping, Ruan Qiuping, Ruan Qiuping, Ruan Qiuping…” Little Yuhuan called out again and again.

"Why are you in such a good mood today!" Ruan Qiuping couldn't help laughing.

They seemed like two completely different people from the one I saw when he just disappeared.

"Of course, because you are here, I have been waiting for you!"

Ruan Qiuping said: "But I came late this time, and I thought you would blame me."

The last time I came here was still autumn, but this time, everyone on the street was already wearing cotton clothes.

"How could that be?" Little Yuhuan smiled up at Ruan Qiuping, "There are four seasons in a year, spring, summer, autumn and winter, 365 days. As long as you come on one of these days, it's not too late."

Looking at the innocent and undisguised smile on Xiao Yuhuan's face, Ruan Qiuping suddenly felt as if his heart was hit hard by cotton.

Warm, soft, and so gentle that it makes people want to cry.

Wow, how can there be such a cute child.

"But are you very busy today? I just heard that you were going to attend a banquet." Ruan Qiuping said.

Xiao Yuhuan's smile slowly faded. He looked at Ruan Qiuping with a evasive look in his eyes and asked cautiously: "... Were you just... listening the whole time? How much did you hear?"

"Almost all?"

Xiao Yuhuan lowered his head, his fingers unconsciously tugging at the corner of his clothes, and asked: "... Did you also see me bullying others?"

"How did you bully me?" Ruan Qiuping corrected him righteously, "You are obviously being bullied! If I were you, I would not throw the key, I would just kick the kid into the water!"

The water in the pool looked like it was just above the knees, so it wouldn't be enough to drown someone.

After hearing this, Xiao Yuhuan couldn't help laughing.

"What time will your party end?" Ruan Qiuping looked down at his watch. "You go first. I'll wait for you here."

Xiao Yuhuan frowned, as if he didn't want to be separated from Ruan Qiuping.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuhuan seemed to have thought of something. He grabbed Ruan Qiuping's hand and suggested excitedly: "Let's run away!"

"Run away, you are leaving home again..."

"I'm not running away from home." Xiao Yuhuan interrupted Ruan Qiuping, "I'm just skipping this party and will be back tomorrow."

Ruan Qiuping frowned and hesitated: "This is not good, what if your parents are worried?"

"I have my cell phone with me. If he wants to find me, he will call me. Ruan Qiuping, I am seven years old. Am I still considered a child?"

"Of course it counts. If not a child, what is it?"

"Then can I be willful and play tricks like other kids?" Little Yu Huan blinked, "... I have never been willful before."

Xiao Yuhuan shook Ruan Qiuping's hand and whispered: "Brother Qiuping..."

Ruan Qiuping's heart trembled violently and he almost couldn't control himself.

Calm down, Ruan Qiuping! Don't lose your mind because of a word "Brother Qiuping"! Although you have always wanted to be called like this, although you have always wanted to be called like this by Xiao Yuhuan, although Xiao Yuhuan is really cute now, you can't let a child lead you by the nose, you must calm down, Ruan Qiuping!

"Brother Qiuping, can you come out and play with me, just once, just once, okay..."

“Bang!”

Ruan Qiuping suddenly picked up little Yuhuan.

He held little Yu Huan in one hand and slowly brushed the loose hair on his forehead with the other hand.

He posed, looking handsome and cool.

His eyes were deep and his voice was low, his tone was just like the cool and invincible male protagonist in the anime: "Hold on tight, brother will take you flying!"

"How do you fly?"

"Flying over the wall, my brother leads people over the wall like it's a piece of cake."

Then they both fell to the ground.

Then they both fell to the ground for the second time.

Then the two of them crawled out of the dog hole one after another.
