The young scholar was stunned.
Didn't pay attention...
That……
The young scholar was a little dumb.
Then how do he explain to his brother and sister-in-law-
no.
Why did he explain this?
Too strange.
My brother and sister-in-law are obviously here.
Being in the same room with him.
They are even so close...
Why did he do something obviously unnecessary?
...
yes……
Why……
Looking at the worried gaze of my brother and sister-in-law looking at him...
He was a little powerless.
And the feeling of arrogance that I have no place to vent my anger.
because……
My brother and sister-in-law didn't see the black thief.
...
The young scholar's nails were pinched into the back of his hand.
He thought of it!
"Where did that steamed bun go?"
The young scholar's voice became louder again.
"You saw so many steamed buns with your own eyes, right?"
The young scholar raised the bowl to hold steamed buns.
Now it's empty.
"If it wasn't for it..."
"Where have so many steamed buns gone?"
...
"Didn't you eat it?"
The woodcutter asked for a natural rhetoric.
...
The young scholar wanted to laugh a little.
"Have I finished eating so many steamed buns alone in such a short time?"
He was so embarrassed that he had just eaten steamed buns, and his brother and sister-in-law should have seen it.
He was so embarrassed when he ate three steamed buns, let alone the number of steamed buns?
It was still in such a short time.
He is not a big eater.
He is the appetite of ordinary boys.
...
The woodcutter was stunned.
Too.
My younger brother is different from him.
He has a big appetite for physical work.
But my younger brother is a gentle scholar.
I usually eat very carefully and slowly.
So he was surprised to see his younger brother eating so generously and even a little embarrassed.
...
But……
"It's not what you eat..."
The woodcutter looked at the empty bowl, "Who ate that?"
...
"I've said it's a black thief."
The young scholar emphasized his tone.
"It was it that stole the steamed buns."
“It’s always been.”
"You should see it."
...
“We didn’t see it,”
The woodcutter is very sure.
The answer was very straightforward.
There is no trace of hesitation.
...
Young scholar:...
He opened his mouth.
But I don't know what to say.
...
"...you really didn't see it?"
After a while, the young scholar asked dryly.
He still found it incredible and unwilling to accept it.
It makes no sense...
Brother and sister-in-law...
Why didn't you see the black thief?
...
The young scholar felt a little headache.
He reached out and knocked his head.
He knocked hard again.
...
"younger brother."
The woman was worried and wanted to step forward, "Don't slap yourself in the head."
She was already a little doubtful if the young scholar had some problems with his brain?
Now she felt particularly frightened when she saw the young scholar knocking her head like this.
Don't really knock yourself out...
...
The young scholar wanted to smile and say it was okay.
But after looking up at the woman's expression, his words stuck in his throat.
He pursed his lips.
He is not a fool.
On the contrary, he is actually the person who reads the most in this family.
He is not a nerd.
In order to study, he ran around and asked for help.
He has already developed some insight into people's hearts.
He knew his brother and his sister-in-law were worried about him.
Worried about his brain... something went wrong.
This is a very offensive idea.
But because the other party is his brother and sister-in-law.
Because they really worry about him...
His expression was a little stiff.
He couldn't say anything.
...
"younger brother."
The woodcutter made a quick decision.
"Forget what happened today."
"Forget about the thief we told your thief to eat steamed buns."
"It's our fault."
"We shouldn't tell you about this."
They should stick to their initial approach. Even if their younger brother comes to ask why there are no steamed buns these days, they should find a reason to fool them.
Instead of telling my brother the truth.
It puts my brother in trouble.
...
"Um."
The woman nodded.
A little regret and regret arose in her heart.
She asked the woodcutter to tell his younger brother about this.
She was worried that her younger brother would not know the truth and had a misunderstanding about her.
It's her bad.
She shouldn't use this incident to affect her younger brother's study.
have a look……
These days my brother has been focusing on this matter, and he can't concentrate on studying.
...
The young scholar's mouth opened slightly.
What does he want to say...
But reason tells him...
Although this method of handling is somewhat concealed, it is indeed the best way to deal with it at present.
Because he, his brother, and his sister-in-law were unable to convince each other.
They all stick to their own opinions.
This prevents their communication from continuing.
...
Since no one can convince anyone for the time being...
Then don't waste time or effort.
Let this go.
Or put it aside.
After a new discovery comes...
Only when he and his brother and sister-in-law can continue the conversation on this topic.
...
"This is a distraction to you."
The woodcutter continued.
"You discovered it myself, right?"
"I can't calm down even if I read."
...
The young scholar opened his mouth and wanted to explain it to himself.
But he found his mind blank.
He couldn't think of something to explain.
because……
My brother said...
Actually, it's a bit true.
People's attention is limited.
He has really been taken up too much attention by the black thief these days.
This is wrong.
His time is tight.
He needs to focus more on reading.
He wants those who look down on him and laugh at him to see...
A temporary downfall doesn't mean anything.
He will eventually be above them.
...
The young scholar clenched his fists.
He didn't say anything.
He nodded slowly.
good.
Let's do this for now.
No matter what the black thief is...
None of them is as important as his upcoming exam.
...
Seeing that his brother accepted his suggestion, the woodcutter felt relieved.
Very good.
He grinned,
"Then you study hard,"
"Your sister-in-law and I won't disturb you anymore."
"If you have anything, you can tell your brother or sister-in-law at any time."
...
A smile appeared on the woman's face.
"You've worked so hard during this period."
"My sister-in-law will give you chicken stew tonight."
"It was the pheasant that your brother caught."
“The taste is so good.”
...
"good."
The young scholar nodded.
He watched his brother and sister-in-law leave his room.
Listen to them carefully bringing the door of his room.
...
The young scholar looked at his desk.
The bowl of steamed buns was taken away by my sister-in-law.
His desk was a little messy because of his previous behavior.
He frowned slightly.
I felt a sense of anger in my heart.
He let out a breath slowly.
After a few more seconds of stunnedness, he reached out to tidy up his desk.
...
"Ba~"
A scroll fell to the ground.
Chapter completed!
