"Actually, in my heart, each of you holds a different position."

"Zhi Chen can be my wise teacher."

"Shujun is my playmate." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Haoming is my protector."

"And isn’t Yue Ning more like my happy rival?"

"As for Yixuan, he is my beneficial friend."

"As for you... Shu Yu, you often make my heart ache for you. You rarely reveal your own feelings and thoughts. You are even harder to understand than Haoming."

"The six of you occupy different positions in my heart, and it’s impossible to determine who is stronger or weaker. After all, to me, the significance of your existence is completely different, and my feelings for each of you are also different. And since they are different, naturally, there is no basis for comparison."

"It’s like comparing a watermelon to a kitten. They are different kinds, so how can they be compared fairly with an objective mindset?"

Shu Yu gently touched her head, "I gave you a difficult question."

Dong Huiying shook her head: "No, this is definitely not a difficult question. After all, I’ve said that to me, your natures are different and cannot be gathered together for comparison."

Shu Yu sighed slightly, "You are truly wise, living up to your name." He was referring to her words, which did not offend anyone and displayed high emotional intelligence.

Dong Huiying rolled her eyes: "If I were really wise, I wouldn’t be constantly played with by you, my heart dancing along with you every day. If you laugh, I am happier than anyone else, and if you are sad, I am sadder than anyone else!"

Shu Yu chuckled lightly, "It seems you truly love us deeply."

Dong Huiying’s face suddenly turned red.

Shu Yu saw her hair being blown into disarray by the wind, so he raised his hand to tuck a stray lock behind her ear.

"Huiying."

"Hmm?"

"Give me a child."

His voice was scattered by the wind.

Dong Huiying was stunned for a long while.

Shu Yu softly spoke, "I want a continuation of our love, so that even if one day you forget you ever loved me, at least whenever I see that child, I’ll remember being loved by you."

Dong Huiying’s brow furrowed deeply: "Why would you think that way? I mean, why would you think... that so-called future one day, I would stop loving you?"

Shu Yu slowly lowered his eyes: "Maybe, it’s because I’m not as unscrupulous as them."

He also wanted to emulate the younger brothers’ bold actions, but... he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

To occupy a place in Huiying’s heart, for someone as indifferent as him to reach this step is already difficult. He doesn’t have such a thick skin, nor does he have the same attitude towards love as Shujun and the others.

He regards some things as too important, and although he is not lacking in shrewdness, he is unwilling to scheme when it comes to her...

Is love obtained through scheming still love?

Of course, this does not mean he is denying Shujun and the others’ feelings for Huiying. Being shameless can also be considered a skill.

Even though he once had similar thoughts, in the end, he realized he couldn’t do it. He couldn’t hide, couldn’t deceive, and couldn’t emulate Shujun and the others’ sneaky ways of stealing the mistress’s seeds.

This is an issue of his perspective on love, and to put it simply, his values differ from Shujun and the others.

That’s why he worries inwardly, scared that one day he will be pushed aside by Shujun and the others, and also fears that one day the mistress will only see the others and not him, that there will no longer be a place for him beside her...

Dong Huiying looked at him for a while.

"If we had a child, would you feel at ease?"

Shu Yu was startled...

Dong Huiying sighed lightly: "A child is definitely not a tool."
