Chapter 70

While eating, after Su Yuxin and Baobao had their first confrontation, they started to look at each other with disapproval, always trying to compete over everything. Even Xiaoxuelong was afraid of the two of them and hid under the bed, not daring to come out.

The conflict between the two made Su Zhe very frustrated, and he didn't know how to ease the tension between them.

When it was time to go to bed, Su Yuxin and Baobao started arguing over the room, neither willing to give in. There was an empty room on the second floor, but neither of them wanted to go there.

"Baobao, let Big Sister Yuxin use this room. You can sleep with your brother tonight, okay?" Su Zhe picked up Baobao, who was fighting with Su Yuxin over the blanket, and gently said in her ear. Reluctantly, Su Zhe had to intervene; otherwise, neither of them would get any sleep tonight.

"Okay, Baobao wants to sleep with Brother." As soon as Baobao heard Su Zhe's words, she immediately let go of the blanket she had been tightly holding and stopped fighting with Su Yuxin.

"No, Baobao can't sleep with Brother." Su Yuxin shouted, and seeing that Su Zhe and Baobao were looking at her, she quickly explained, "Baobao is not a little kid anymore. She needs to learn to be independent and not rely on others. Fine, I'll let Baobao sleep in this room, and I'll go to the room upstairs."

Su Yuxin spoke with a righteous tone, which temporarily silenced Baobao, who didn't argue back. After that, Su Yuxin packed her things and went upstairs.

After Su Yuxin left, Baobao pouted and said, "But Baobao is only four years old."

Su Zhe rubbed his nose against Baobao's little face and said, "Baobao, Big Sister Yuxin is letting you use the room. You need to get along with Big Sister Yuxin from now on and not fight like this anymore, okay? Otherwise, Brother will be unhappy."

Baobao thought for a moment, as if considering whether she could do it, and finally nodded, making a solemn promise, "Baobao understands. Baobao will be good friends with Big Sister Yuxin."

"That's my good Baobao. Come, let's go to sleep." Su Zhe kissed Baobao, making her giggle. He put Baobao to bed, covered her with the blanket, and then left the room.

Su Zhe didn't return to his room but went upstairs to Su Yuxin's room. He knocked on the door, and after getting a response, he opened it and went in.

Su Yuxin was putting away her clothes. An Xin had already cleaned the long-empty room when she learned that Su Yuxin was coming back, so Su Yuxin didn't need to tidy up and could move in directly.

"Yuxin, what's wrong with you today?" Su Zhe asked, sitting on the bed. In Su Zhe's memory, Su Yuxin wouldn't usually argue with a child over such things. Her attitude toward Baobao today was quite unusual, while she was very friendly to An Xin and An Xuan. This left Su Zhe very puzzled.

"Nothing, I was just playing with Baobao." Su Yuxin knew what Su Zhe was asking. In fact, she was already a bit regretful. Su Yuxin didn't know why she had acted that way.

Su Zhe sighed, gestured for Su Yuxin to come over, and carefully explained Baobao's background to her.

After hearing Baobao's story, Su Yuxin's eyes were red, and she felt a lump in her throat. She regretted even more, wondering why she had argued with Baobao, who was just a child. From that moment on, Su Yuxin's hostility toward Baobao vanished, and she began to like the cute and lively Baobao.

After chatting with Su Yuxin for a while, Su Zhe let her rest and left the room.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the issue was resolved. He believed that the two of them wouldn't treat each other like enemies anymore.

When Su Zhe walked to the living room, Xiaoxuelong, who had been hiding under Su Zhe's bed all night, finally came out, sensing that the storm had passed.

Xiaoxuelong cautiously peeked out of the door and, upon seeing Su Zhe, immediately ran over.

Su Zhe picked up Xiaoxuelong and laughed, scolding him, "You coward, you only dare to come out now."

Xiaoxuelong seemed to understand and made a few pitiful sounds, as if defending himself. It wasn't entirely Xiaoxuelong's fault for being scared. When Su Yuxin found Xiaoxuelong, she picked him up and played with him. Since Xiaoxuelong knew that Su Yuxin was close to Su Zhe, he didn't resist her.

However, when Baobao saw this, she went over and started fighting with Su Yuxin over Xiaoxuelong. Xiaoxuelong was caught in the middle, being pulled back and forth by the two. Eventually, Xiaoxuelong found an opportunity to escape and didn't dare to come out all night.

Previously, Xiaoxuelong was always the most enthusiastic at mealtime. If Su Zhe forgot to feed him, Xiaoxuelong would circle around Su Zhe until he remembered. But today, after being scared by Su Yuxin and Baobao, Xiaoxuelong didn't dare to come out for food, even when the food was placed in front of him, fearing it was a trap to lure him out.

Only now, probably very hungry, did Xiaoxuelong dare to come out.

Su Zhe didn't tease the frightened Xiaoxuelong anymore and went to get some dog food for him.

Seeing the dog food, Xiaoxuelong immediately started eating voraciously, finishing it quickly. He soon ate all the dog food and still looked unsatisfied, eyeing the dog food in Su Zhe's hand. However, Su Zhe patted his head and put the dog food away. Xiaoxuelong's appetite was already twice that of a dog his size, and Su Zhe didn't dare to feed him more, fearing he would overeat.

After a few unsuccessful attempts to get more food from Su Zhe, Xiaoxuelong obediently went back to his doghouse to sleep.

Don't be fooled by Xiaoxuelong's current timid appearance. When Su Zhe took him out, he was very fierce and fearless when faced with people or animals with malicious intent. Under Su Zhe's daily nourishment with divine power, Xiaoxuelong not only ate twice as much as other dogs his age but was also much stronger. Now, Xiaoxuelong's combat ability was on par with that of an ordinary adult dog.

Xiaoxuelong was gentle only with those he was familiar with or who showed him kindness, appearing harmless and lacking any combat ability.

In the living room, Su Zhe began practicing the first form of the Body Strengthening Technique. His current constitution was 35 points, and he had 350 points of divine power. However, he still couldn't complete the first form in one go. Su Zhe estimated that he needed 50 points of constitution to fully practice the first form.

When his divine power was reduced to 50 points, Su Zhe stopped practicing. He was now flushed and drenched in sweat. Although the practice was exhausting, the results were significant. Su Zhe's constitution increased by 3 points, reaching 38 points. Su Zhe estimated that his punching power had increased by at least 50 kilograms.

This result made Su Zhe very satisfied.
