Chapter 164 - Summer Tournament IV (1/2)
Third person POV
After they talked for a while, Weisheng and Hong er together with Xue Lang went back to their own room to enjoy the event. The music started to blast once again and the MC loudly announced the participants for the beginner level to step up to the stage. Kids around Xue Lang's age one by one walked to the stage with their chin up. Xue Lang watches them with envy but Hong er's hand stopped his thought.
Hong er: ”Are you envy of them?”
Xue Lang quickly shook his head, yet he couldn't lie to Hong er as she stared deeply to his colorless eyes with her bright eyes. Then he timidly nodded his head.
Hong er: ”It is fine to envy.”
Xue Lang whipped his head up to look at Hong er. Usually people would instantly reprimand other to be virtuous and big heart, however Hong er told him that it is fine to envy other people, it really confuse him.
Hong er: ”Being envy means you acknowledge that they are better than you do. And that means you have to do better than them, study harder, practice harder and you slowly will become better. Being competitive is fine but refrain from using harmful and despicable way. Understood?”
Xue Lang: ”Uhm!”
Hong er: ”Beside, the tournament couldn't decide who is truly the strongest one. Many masters and experts are hiding from the eye of the world to avoid conflict so you don't need to think much about those things.”
Xue Lang: ”But Imperial Mother, what if they jealous of us and tried to harm us?”
Weisheng : ”At that time, you have to be smart, wise, and merciless in order to protect your beloved one.”
Weisheng answered his question instead of Hong er. Hong er made him sat on her laps and patted Xue Lang head. Weisheng widened his eyes in shock, he clenched his hand into fist and furrowed his brow.
Hong er: ”These things, you will learn it as time passes by.”
Hong er caressed Xue Lang's soft hair and hummed the song that she usually hum when she is bored. All of sudden, both Hong er and Xue Lang were lifted up by Weisheng with ease. He plopped down Hong er's seat and put her down between his thighs. He hugged her tightly and sent Xue Lang a warning glance.
Hong er laughed when she saw how Weisheng stared intensely at the puzzled Xue Lang. she kissed his cheek and smiled at him to calm him down which perfectly work on the carzy in love Weisheng.
She leaned her head on his shoulder and continued to hum her song whilst playing with Xue Lang's hair. Seeing that Hong er was relaxed around him made him insanely happy, he leaned his head on her head and closes his eyes to enjoy Hong er's humming. Xue Lang swayed his body side to side along the melody and got curious of this simple yet beautiful song.
Xue Lang: ”Imperial Mother.”
Hong er: ”Hm?”
Hong er glanced at Xue Lang and tenderly smiled at him.
Xue Lang: ”What song is this? It is so beautiful, I like it very much.”
Hong er: ”Hahaha~ Mother is happy to know that you like this song. It is mother who made it.”
Xue Lang: ”Woah~ Imperial Mother is so talented.”
Weisheng: ”En~ She is~”
Weisheng muttered with his eyes still closed. Noticed that Weisheng slowly fell into a deep sleep, Hong er placed a finger on her lips to tell Xue Lang to lower his voice. Xue Lang nodded his head and proceeded to watch the tournament while Hong er kept on humming.

Hong er: ”Sheng ge, Sheng ge. Wake up, time to eat lunch.”
Weisheng: ”Hhmm~”
Hong er: ”*Sigh Xue Lang, try to wake your father up.”
Xue Lang excitedly nodded his head and turned his body to face the sleeping Weisheng.
Xue Lang: ”Imperial father! Imperial Father! Wakie~”
Weisheng: ”Hhmm…”
Xue Lang's (imaginary) ears plopped down when he only received muffled grunt. He spun his little sly brain and an idea sprang up.
Xue Lang: ”Imperial Father! There is a handsome guy getting close to Imperial Mother!”
Weisheng's eyes immediately wide open and growled with a blood thirsty voice.
