The boy lowered his head, scared of what would come next because he got sold by his parents a few days ago, and Bai Yunyu would be the first one for him to serve.

He got a short training by the big sister who worked as a prostitute on how to pleasure men yesterday, but he was still very nervous.

Fortunately, this handsome man in front of him seemed to be friendly, so he wouldn't be beaten for being sloppy.

"Come here, boy," Bai Yunyu said, calling the nervous 10 years old boy. 

"Um… E—Excuse me…" the boy said as he approached Bai Yunyu. He was still meek, and his hand started trembling as he didn't know what to do next.

[Let me guess, he was sold by his parents, right?]

[Pupa: Definitely, a ten years old boy with a nice face getting sold into prostitution when the family can't take care of him and is in dire need of money.]

[Pupa: His future is already sealed. He will be a male prostitute when he is old enough.]

For some reason, Bai Yunyu sympathized more with this kid than the others.

First, he was near the age of Han Shun when Bai Yunyu picked him up from the street. 

Second, he seemed to be an obedient, meek boy who had no control over his fate since his family sold him to be a male prostitute.

Third, Bai Yunyu saw himself in this kid, just like how he saw himself in Han Shun. 

[A boy that has no real family, trying his best to live day by day because he is unloved since birth. It reminds me of myself, kind of nostalgic, hehe~.]

Bai Yunyu patted the spot beside him, "Sit here."

"P—Pardon me, Master…."

The boy sat beside Bai Yunyu and lowered his head again, "I—I will do something, Master…."

"No need," Bai Yunyu smiled. "Who's your name, boy?"

"Um… my family name is Han, and they call me Min. My name is Han Min, Master…."

"Han Min…" 

[Okay, this kid seriously reminds me of Han Shun. But I don't think he is as willful and stubborn as that kid.]

[Pupa: Well, he seems like a good kid.]

"How long you've been sold by your family?" Bai Yunyu asked.

"Um…" Han Min counted with his fingers and got confused for a while until he replied, "Five days, Master…."

"I see…" Bai Yunyu nodded. He looked at the kid and then gave him a rice cake on the table.

"Eat this rice cake."

"Um, Master… but I'm here to serve…."

"I told you to eat this rice cake," Bai Yunyu said. He patted Han Min's head dearly. "I ordered all the snacks here for you. You must've been eating so little these days, right?"

"Un… t—thank you, Master…."

Han Min grabbed the rice cake and ate slowly. He didn't know what this handsome master wanted to do, but since he told Han Min to eat, then he should eat. 

"Han Min, do you have an extended family?" 

"Um… my mom never introduced me to my uncles and aunt. She also never allowed me to leave the house. She said that I'm her shameful son, an unwanted kid because my dad left us after I was born…." Han Min said.

…

"So nobody will be searching for you if you're missing?"

"Han Min has been sold here. I don't have anywhere else to go, Master."

Bai Yunyu took a deep breath. His heart felt heavy because he just couldn't handle listening to Han Min's story. He was similar to him more than Han Shun, honestly.

Han Shun was born an orphan, but Han Min was sold by his mother, who didn't love him. They were both born unloved…

[Pupa, I have an idea.]

[Pupa: Oh no, I can sense the jinx here. I think you should drop that idea quickly.]

[Heyyy, listen first. Han Min is 10 years old, and he has been unloved since birth. We have a new resident in that village, and it's a big one for only you, me, and Chinchin. We need a new family member!]

[Pupa: Are you sure you want to take this kid?]

[Aish, I'm so sure! I will train him to be a martial artist, at least strong enough to defend himself. He will be working in residence as a servant… well, he is part of the family. But there is no free lunch in this world, so I will tell him he will have to clean the house daily so he can stay.]

"Han Min, do you want to have your own house?" Bai Yunyu asked. "Do you want to live without fearing having to serve perverted men?"

Han Min looked up to the handsome master. He quickly lowered his head after realizing that he almost nodded out of instinct. 

"I can bring you to my residence. It is empty, with only me living there right now. I can give you good food every day, and you only need to serve me in daily basis."

"S—Serve Master in daily basis?"

"Well, not that kind of service, haha…" Bai Yunyu ruffled Han Min's hair. "I just want you to clean the house daily. You will be safe from creepy men who want to take advantage of you, and you will sleep in a comfortable bed and food three times a day."

"T—Three times a day?!" Han Min's eyes widened upon hearing the offer that he would be able to eat food 3x a day! He could only eat food once a day. Thinking of eating 3x a day already made him drool.

"Master! Han Min will clean your residence every day! I will follow you everywhere!" Han Min said in full spirit. He was already sold by the food and also a warm, comfortable bed.

He always wished that he could have his own bed! The kind that was soft and fluffy to sleep on!

"Please take me, Master! Han Min will serve you forever!"
