Holding Onto My Man Chapter 19 part2
Seeing the action of unwilling to leave, Qin Shitian suddenly thought of Mo Haige’s rejection just now, and couldn’t help but coldly said, “Just eat here!”
Gu Bai was startled by him. He secretly mentioned in his heart that Qin Shitian is indeed moody. He had to obey and obediently ate while standing in front of him.
He observed Qin Shitian’s expression while eating. The appearance of his puffed up cheeks and casting little glances resemble a little squirrel, very funny. It slightly improved Qin Shitian’s expression.
”Is it that delicious?” Seeing Gu Bai’s eating appearance, Qin Shitian who had already watched him for a while, couldn’t help but suddenly open his mouth.
”Oh, delicious!”
Gu Bai nodded without any hesitation, both cheeks were stuffed with food. With puffed up cheeks, he nodded like a little chick pecking on grains. Seeing his expression, Gu Bai guessed that he has some temper. He licked his lips and looked up at him slightly, squinting his eyes with a look of admiration and loyalty.
”Xiaoren* isn’t afraid of sect leader, only venerate sect leader. Xiaoren has pledged loyalty to sect leader and therefore not afraid of sect leader. Whatever sect leader orders xiaoren to do, xiaoren is willing!”
*a self-humbling ‘I’ or ‘Me’ used to express modesty and lower status. The opposite of Daren.
Literal translation is ‘small person’
These are entirely words from the bottom of the heart. Ah Jiu’s wish is to protect this sect leader. Even if Qin Shitian wants to kill him, he still has to thank him.
It’s not that Qin Shitian has never heard similar words of loyalty, but when it’s spoken by Gu Bai, coupled with his pure eyes, it strangely made people feel at ease.
This kind of loyalty and admiration makes his heart feel indescribably soft and comfortable, the cold face softened instantly.

”Xiaoren? Looking at your emaciated appearance, benzun thinks that you do look like a small person. How will you serve benzun looking like this? You should know that the cultivation of the maidservants are all higher than you. …”
”Ah Jiu will definitely work hard to become stronger!”
Gu Bai’s attitude is positive, his eyes are pure, and he has the loyalty of a child.
Qin Shitian stared at him and couldn’t refrain from smiling in his heart.
This youth who has been in Mozong for five years can still have such pure eyes and keep on proclaiming that he will repay kindness and be devoted to him, interesting, truly interesting. Therefore, it won’t be bad to keep him by his side, just pretend that it’s an amusement.
”Alright, in that case, benzun has no use for your current cultivation, you will serve benzun’s daily routine from now on!”
Qin Shitian face remained cold, but the tone is very soft.

Homecoming | A Chronicles of Ascension Story
When Jethen was captured by slavers, his childhood was torn from him and left shattered half a world away. When he finds himself back home decades later, by methods he does not fully understand, he finds that the life he has lived has changed him far more than he knew. In a home he no longer knows. Places and people at the same time familiar and foreign, he must decide - stay and help with his parent's business, or return to the land that remade him and the family he made there. --------- Homecoming started as just a short story to break an episode of writers block. It has since morphed well beyond that into a novel in it's own right, and may well end up with a sequel. The writing of Homecoming became a bit of a self induced challenge to improve my initial, first brush, writing quality. Each chapter was written raw, given a once over read and edit, and then posted. In this way I am forcing myself to write better from the start. I do hope you enjoy the story and will leave a comment or review, and if you see an issue, feel free to let me know as well. I know it is not nearly perfect, and it will get a full and proper edit once I am done. Never hurts to fix things along the way though. As an additional note. The story has undergone a structural rework and has been reposted in an updated structure and sequence of chapters. If you have read this story already, I invite you to do so again in this new structure.
