She wants to go into the hot spring with a group of males?
Su Qianci didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She pointed at Li Sicheng and said, “You should ask your father.”
Li Jianyue turned her eyes toward Li Sicheng and called out, “Daddy.”
Li Sicheng turned around to look at his daughter. His tone was gentle but allowed no space for discussion as he said, “No.”
Li Jianyue grew upset. With a pout of her lips, she asked, “Why?”
“Because if you look at a man’s bare body, you’ll have to take responsibility for him,” Li Sicheng said.
“Pffft…” Luo Zhan choked on his mouthful of water. What an unusual method of teaching children Li Sicheng has!
Luo Zhan wasn’t the only one with that reaction. Yu Lili, as well, found Li Sicheng’s words to his daughter bizarre.
Li Jianyue widened her eyes at Li Sicheng. With a look of confusion, she asked, “What’s the meaning to having ‘to take responsibility?’”
“That means you’ll have to marry him,” her father replied.
“Huh?” Li Jianyue’s mouth opened wide. “So, as long as I have seen a boy’s bare body, I’ll have to take responsibility?”
The adults around almost burst out laughing, but Li Sicheng continued to maintain a straight face. He faced his daughter and nodded his head without any guilt whatsoever.
Li Jianyue began to panic. She rubbed her tiny hands on her coat and carefully said, “If that’s the case… I’ve seen older brother’s and Brother Mosen’s bare bodies. Do I have to marry them?”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!” Luo Zhan burst out in guffaws. He took Li Mosen and Li Jianqian each in one hand and remarked, “This girl has a good future! She even wants two husbands!”
Li Jianyue didn’t understand why Luo Zhan was laughing and looked back at Li Sicheng.

Without any change in expression, Li Sicheng explained, “They are your older brothers, so you don’t have to take responsibility. But, if it’s someone else who isn’t related to you, you’ll have to take responsibility. For example, if you looked at Uncle Luo Zhan’s bare body, you’d have to take responsibility.”
Li Jianyue still didn’t get it. “Why do I have to take responsibility for Uncle Luo Zhan?”
Yu Lili interrupted, saying, “That’s because no other woman wants to marry Uncle Luo Zhan. So, you have to be careful.”
“Hey hey hey! Stop teaching the kid the wrong thing!” Luo Zhan was unhappy.
When Li Sicheng heard what Yu Lili said, he looked at Li Jianyue earnestly and concurred. “What Auntie Lili said is correct.”
“And… if I don’t take responsibility, what will happen then?” Li Jianyue asked.
Li Sicheng replied, “That’s the behavior of a hooligan. In the olden times, such actions were punishable by drowning in a pig’s cage.”
“What?” Li Jianyue put her fist to her mouth. “Are you talking about the punishment where they trapped a person inside a bamboo cage and threw it into the bottom of the sea, tied to a huge rock?”
“Yes,” Li Sicheng said.
Li Jianyue was petrified. She wrapped her arms around Su Qianci’s neck and pressed her lips into a thin line. In a voice full of grievance, she begged, “Mommy, let’s go quickly.”
Su Qianci carried her daughter. Although she found it funny, her heart ached when she saw how frightened the little girl was. Casting an accusatory look at Li Sicheng, she said, “Look at how frightened the child is by your words!”
Li Sicheng didn’t feel as if he had done anything wrong and replied, “Children need to understand such principles from a young age. The same goes for the both of you. You can’t go looking at other girls, and you can’t approach them either. Do you understand me?”
The second part of Li Sicheng’s words was directed toward Li Mosen and Li Jianyue. Both the boys had different reactions.
Li Mosen nodded his head, deep in thought. Li Jianqian, on the other hand, asked, “What if it’s the girl who approaches us instead?”
Li Sicheng’s eyebrows rose when he heard that. In a tone that feigned surprise, he asked in return, “What? Based on how you look?”
The question caused Li Jianqian to immediately blush in embarrassment.
