Stitching A Broken Heart

Chapter 56

In the late afternoon on Flower Fruit Mountain, MK was training with Monkey King in front of the Silver Cloud Temple "you call this a training session?" MK said blocking Monkey King's foot with his staff "I've barely broken a sweat" the teen said looking up at his dad with a smirk "battles no place to be arrogant, you gotta stay humble" Monkey King said smiling as he leaps off the staff "says you!" MK said slamming his staff to the ground creating a large cloud of smoke, dashing forward, extending, and swinging it, the teen threw a quick succession of attacks, as the copper simian dodges all of them. Monkey King is then backed into the ledge of a cliff, looking behind him and back to his son

"Ha, who's gotta be humble now?!" MK said swinging his staff, Monkey King smirks, leaping into the air "still you" Monkey King said kicking the end of the staff,  MK yelps, being launched back by the force of the copper simian kick. While the staff was thrown into a mountain causing large rocks to fall "oh boy" the teen said,  he yelps as he flails his arms, getting crushed by fallen rocks 'thanks the gods Mangoes isn't here to see that, otherwise I would be toast' Monkey King thought summoning his somersault cloud, arms behind his back, floating towards the rubble "okay, class commencing" Monkey King said hopping off his cloud and pulling his son out of the rubble with his tail "how'd I win?" Monkey King said placing the teen down "uh, you buried me under a rock slide?" MK said raising an eyebrow "yes, BUT, why were you standing in the WAY of a rock slide?" Monkey King said smirking "cause you put me there!" MK said pointing to the rocks behind him, but Monkey King cuts him off by ruffling his son's hair "no, no, no, no, I got you where I wanted you, by putting myself where YOU wanted ME to be" Monkey King said removing his hand from his son's hair "it's called, Misdirection" Monkey King said with a smirk

"Seems like a shady lesson" MK said fixing his hair "too soon buddy" Monkey King said crossing his arms, MK groans and falls backwards to the ground "I'm never gonna be as good as you or ma" MK said, Monkey King let out a scoff "not with that attitude" Monkey King said looking down at his son with a smile "class dismiss" Monkey King said crossing his arms still smiling "looks like I came at the right time" a familiar voice said the two turn to the voice and saw Macaque standing there wearing a plum hanfu with white long sleeves with star like designs on and a light purple sash carrying a wide box in one arm, a round wooden pie basket in the other, and a 5 tiffin carrier with his tail smiling at the two "Ma!" MK said standing up and smiling at his ma "hey cub, mind giving me a hand with these?" Macaque asked holding out the stuff in his arms

MK quickly went over to his ma and grabbed basket and the tiffin "place them here bud" Monkey King said plucking a strand of his hair as it glows the copper simian then throws it down to the ground creating a wide rug and a low table and the teen placed them down on the table. Macaque smiled and held out the box to his cub "here, I made this for you so you could wear it for New Year's" Macaque said smiling, MK took the box and opened it, inside was a dark blue hanfu with matching skirt, bright red lapel, black pants, black boots, bright red sash with a charm, and a jacket that fades to red at the bottom, with red lapel and sleeves tips and a flower design on the sleeves "wow, I love it,  thanks!" MK said smiling at his ma "go and try it on" Macaque said and MK quickly went inside the temple to change

Later on he comes out of the temple wearing the hanfu he saw that the two simians got everything ready for New Year's, Monkey King saw his son out of the temple and smiled "C'mon the foods getting cold" Monkey King said ushering his son to the table, MK smiled and heads to the table "here, I made these for your friends and dads when you go home" Macaque said revealing a medium drawstring bag filled with snow skin mooncakes "thanks, I'm sure they'll love it" MK said placing the bag in his pocket and soon the three began to eat
