Lin Li believes that once anyone truly understands the nature of their existence, they would never willingly entrust their child to him.
Children are, after all, the most susceptible to influence.
Lin Li has, on several occasions, personally executed countless children by the millions.
Therefore, Lin Li can foresee a future scenario: if one day, Chen Shou Ying and Chen Zi Wei are born, his custody of these two kids would likely be revoked on the spot.
At that ti, even just visiting or rely giving them a glance from afar may require the layers of approval and consent from Chen Yu Ying and Wu Min.
This is Lin Li's confidence in himself.
Thus, Lin Li concludes that those willing to entrust their children to him must either be negligent and unaware guardians or stepmother-like guardians who have animosity towards the child.
However, in the current circumstances, neither applies to Wu Huizhen, leaving another answer: demons helping demons, a common sentint among demons.
Still, Lin Li thought it over and felt it was premature to jump to conclusions; perhaps what had just happened was rely an illusion.
So Lin Li took a step forward, mustered his courage, and pushed the door open again.
"I'm a milk dragon! I'm a milk dragon! I'm a milk dragon!" The little milk dragon jumping on the bed still only had this one line.
Below the bed, Little Sasuke still covered his eyes, but his lines were far more varied. Seeing Lin Li return, he raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly:
"Omoshiroi~ Soone actually took on my Amaterasu and ca back unscathed? Yare yare, it seems this just got interesting—"
"Bang—!!!"
Before Little Sasuke could finish his words, Lin Li shut the door with a blank expression, this ti with greater force than before.
~I dare not open my eyes, hoping it's just an illusion~
Ridiculous.
Not an illusion.
"Lin Li, what's going on? Why are you just standing at the door and not going in?" Wu Huizhen's voice ca from behind.
Lin Li turned around to find Wu Huizhen holding an empty plate in her left hand and a fruit knife in her right.
She stood in the kitchen, but hadn't turned on the light yet. The living room light barely reached her body, leaving from the neck upwards in dimness, making it hard to discern her expression.
No need to see clearly.
Lin Li had already imagined Yagami Light's smile on Wu Huizhen's face.
Could it be...all of this was a trap...Wu Min and himself...had been set up...
Wu Min: Why not avoid it?
Wu Huizhen: Ha, avoid his sharpness? My child hasn't benign either!
Is it only your child who's evil? Is my child not so? Who defiles whom, I doubt anyone can say for certain.
We're all like Xiling.
Fine, Lin Li decided not to continue assuming ill intent towards Wu Huizhen; she was victimized as well.
Though indeed all reek of darkness, Lin Li genuinely felt their evildoings were not aligned.
To be blessed with both coiling dragons and fenghuang at Aunt Zhenzhen's house, she's truly lived a life.
Compared to Wu Huizhen, Wu Min seems better...perhaps.
"It's nothing, Aunt. I was just checking my phone."
Thus, coming to his senses, Lin Li smiled at Wu Huizhen's concern, then took a deep breath again to enter for the third ti.
The scene didn't improve; the milk dragon's cries continued incessantly.
But this ti, Lin Li was ntally prepared and didn't retreat. He clapped his hands robustly, drawing everyone's attention to himself and calming them.
"Milk Dragon, Sasuke, for now stop playing.
Let's introduce ourselves first; my na is Lin Li, and Aunt probably has ntioned to you. I'm here to tutor you all—mainly as a family tutor to Little Sasuke; but I'm rely a student, in no way a legitimate teacher.
No need for 'teacher' title; if you don't mind, call Brother Lin Li or simply Lin Li.
Now, straight to the point, let's begin today's lesson.
You probably haven't done your howork for this week, right? Finish it tonight, then you can happily play tomorrow and the day after. Sounds good?"
Li Milk Dragon, hearing this, nodded obediently and climbed off the bed to search his backpack.
Lin Li nodded, feeling a tinge of comfort.
In his absence, Milk Dragon took good care of himself.
But Sasuke wasn't so easily settled.
Li Sasuke crossed his arms, snorted coldly, slightly raising his chin, using a condescending tone as he looked at Lin Li and said:
"Not everyone is qualified to be my brother! This is a world of survival of the fittest, where only the strong can survive! Besides, the consequences of my identity are unfathomable for ordinary people; to have follow you requires proving your strength!"
"Without strength, I wouldn't follow your lead! Otherwise...it's a harm unto you."
"Power? Yes, I've got just that." Lin Li sighed, nodding.
Little Sasuke slightly furrowed his brow: "Show then!"
Lin Li reached into his pocket, withdrawing a closed fist, then under Sasuke's cautious yet curious gaze, slowly unfolded it.
A small pebble.
"What's this."
Lin Li: "It's my pebble."
Li Sasuke: "(•́へ•́╬)!"
"You dare mock the dark ruler! What is this pebble good for!?"
Lin Li replied quickly and calmly: "Put it in soone's shoe when running starts, making them uncomfortable for a long ti."
A thoroughly vexing tactic, since almost no one would halt during a run to leave the formation, remove the shoe, and dump the stone amidst other classes observing closely from behind.
