Ruyi kept complaining without end, saying that his father hit his palm and punished him by making him practice calligraphy. Ruyi didn't know how to write a single character, but now he was practicing writing his name every day. Fengyu had never heard of anyone practicing calligraphy by starting with their name. Ruyi had been practicing for a few days, but he couldn't sit still. At his age, he was extremely restless and couldn't focus. Practicing calligraphy was a torment for him, and he still hadn't learned how to write his own name.
Ruyi was also a picky eater, but after Xie Jue returned, he wasn't allowed to be picky anymore. Though Xie Jue never forced him to eat food he disliked, whatever the kitchen prepared was what he had to eat—he was only allowed to order one dish.
