Where is the fun in that?

"Who, them? Nah," Xiang Yu replied with a dismissive wave. "They will stop fighting and get up to some mischief very soon."

Han Xin held up Xiang Yu's leg, helping him slide on the boot. He tied the shoelace carefully, his brow furrowing with concern. "If you feel any discomfort, just stop. I will avenge you in the future."

Xiang Yu chuckled softly. "Don't worry. I won't push myself too far."

Han Xin finished tying the laces and looked up, searching Xiang Yu's eyes for assurance. "You promise?"

Xiang Yu caressed Han Xin's chin, his touch gentle. "I promise."

Just as Xiang Yu had predicted, the twins stopped fooling around and were already up to no good. Lian looked at him with a bright smile. "Master, we will put money on you."

Mei chimed in, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Yes! You will win against that bastard, and we will be rich!"
