Chapter 2159 - 2161: No Reading Allowed on the Carriage

Just as he opened it, it was snatched away by Yang Chuxia.

"No reading in the carriage."

"Huh? Why not?" Lele tried to reach out and grab the book back, but Yang Chuxia slapped his hand and put the book into a secret compartment.

"Do you want to go blind? You can’t read in a moving vehicle, it’ll harm your eyes." Yang Chuxia continued unhappily, "By the way, I haven’t told you yet, no reading past Hai Shi in the future, you must go to sleep by three-quarters past Hai Shi at the latest. Otherwise, I’ll burn your books."

"Seriously?" Seeing Yang Chuxia’s serious expression, Lele quickly turned his head to tug at Ye Zi’an’s sleeve, "Dad, please persuade Mom, what’s the point of sitting in a carriage without reading? Should I just sleep? As for the night, it’s too early for me to fall asleep."

"Don’t come to me for this, I agree with what your mom says." Ye Zi’an pulled back his sleeve and continued, "If you really feel bored, how about we play chess?"

"Doesn’t playing chess use your eyes?" Lele blinked, "And you have to use your brain too. Besides, what’s so scary about eye damage? Doesn’t Uncle Shaoling replace eyes? Even blind people can get a new eyeball, what am I afraid of?"

Ye Zi’an rubbed his nose, he really didn’t have anything to refute.

"Do you think anyone can just replace eyeballs so easily?" Yang Chuxia flicked his forehead and said, "Your uncle’s successful eye replacement was partly because of your uncle’s excellent medical skills, and also luck. If luck is bad, even after replacing the eyeball, you still won’t be able to see."

"In any case, you must listen to what your mom says." Yang Chuxia added, "Is playing chess the same as reading? How big is a chess piece, and how big is a word in a book? Which do you think is more straining on your eyes?"

"Alright, alright, anyway, whatever Mom says makes sense." Lele looked at Ye Zi’an with frustration, his eyes clearly asking, Dad, can’t you assert some authority, don’t let Mom always have the final say.

Ye Zi’an glared at him, turned his head to the side, and thought, I’m happy, I like it, whatever your mom says goes, dare not to listen, and I’ll teach you a lesson.

Lele was speechless, pouted, and took out two boxes of chess from another secret compartment, "Let’s play chess! Dad, which one do you want?"

"You pick first!"

"I’ll take the white pieces." After a pause, Lele added, "Since you’re my dad, I’ll concede you two pieces."

"Heh..." Ye Zi’an was intrigued, "You little brat, you’re not very old, but your tone is quite big."

"That’s because I have the skills!"

Yang Chuxia saw that the two were getting into it and moved the items on the table to the side.

"Then let me show you your dad’s skills." Ye Zi’an said, "The loser isn’t allowed to cry."

"Cry? Do you think I’m a kid?"

"Don’t talk about Xiao Er in such a tone." Yang Chuxia flicked his forehead, "Xiao Er only cries in front of family."

"Alright, I won’t say it."

Very quickly, the father and son got into a deadly serious match, and by the time they arrived at Fairy Cloud Temple, they still hadn’t decided a winner.

"Mom, you go on up, I have to settle this win or lose with Dad."

"Okay, you two continue then."

Seeing neither of them lift their heads, Yang Chuxia had to go up with the little maid by herself.

Fairy Cloud Temple wasn’t a large temple, it was very tranquil inside, and since it wasn’t the first or fifteenth of the month, there weren’t many people there.

Luo Linfei was arranged to live in a meditation room at the back, and as Yang Chuxia approached, there were a few maids and grannies in the courtyard.
