Ark, I got cold a little early

Hey, that's weird.

It is obvious that when Ling was Long Paopao, Mr. did so many... not-so-good things to her, even though Ling made the mistake first and she may not have any memory of that time.

But why is it that after Ling transformed into a human, she actually likes to stay with her husband so much?

"Third sister, do you want to play chess later?" Wang was a little curious and planned to ask Ling Ling's words while playing chess.

However, his plan ultimately failed because Ling decisively refused.

"No, I've never won a game of chess with you, second brother. I'm not a masochist like my eldest brother. Why don't you ask Yu to take me down the mountain to the city to play."

Tsk.

Wang sighed in his heart and then stopped talking.

Ling rested his chin on his knees, looking eagerly in the direction of Hongyu and Shuo, waiting for Hongyu to take him out to play.

On the other side, Hongyu grabbed Shuo's hand and pulled him up from the ground, while summarizing Shuo's performance this time.

"...You're improving really fast, Shuo. Maybe soon... I won't be able to beat you."

"Sir." When Hongyu was about to point out Shuo's shortcomings, Shuo suddenly interrupted him.

"I plan to go out and take a look at the land of Dayan."

"Huh?" Hongyu was stunned.

"I plan to go out and have a look as a giant beast, and go out and have a look under the name...'Shuo'." Shuo looked at Hongyu's face and repeated what he had just said.

Over the past few years, several fragments of the Sui family have transformed into human forms one after another.

Shuo and Wang, who were born earlier, gradually took on the rudiments of the appearance that Hongyu was familiar with in his previous life. As for Ling, Shu and Nian, who were born later, they looked like girls of thirteen or fourteen years old. However, it probably won't take a few years for them to grow into the appearance that Hongyu was familiar with, right?

During this period, Hongyu would occasionally bring some people down the mountain to travel far away, but only to the capital of Dayan.

Hongyu was not surprised by Shuo's remarks about leaving.

Because he once took Shuo to the border of Dayan, and Shuo's eyes seemed very complicated to Hongyu at that time.

During that period of time, he gradually became familiar with their personalities. Although he knew that sooner or later Shuo or the other fragments that were born earlier would leave here, it was just... a little sudden.

Now according to my understanding...should I act a little angry?

Thinking of this, Hongyu became more serious in his tone.

"You want to leave?" His words suddenly became serious, at least that's how they sounded to Shuo.

The teacher's tone was always lazy no matter what time it was, even when he was in court, he was not serious at all. But after hearing what I said today, his tone changed instantly.

"Yeah." Shuo still looked directly at Hongyu, as if expressing his determination this time.

Seeing Shuo's expression, Hongyu just sighed slightly and waved his hand and said

"Let's talk about it after you can beat me. Now I'm going to take Ling out. That girl has been waiting for us for a long time. I guess she's already scolding you."

"Why are you only scolding me?" Shuo pointed at himself a little confused, and then he received Hongyu's subtle expression.

Although I couldn't see Hongyu's eyes, I always felt that he looked down on me, as if he was saying, "To make her like me more, of course she would only scold you for taking up my time."

Isn't it?

I'm the eldest brother.

Scratching his head, Shuo didn't think any more about it and just agreed to Hongyu's request.

"Have I surpassed you in martial arts? Okay, I accept." Shuo answered seriously.

When Hongyu heard Shuo's answer, he snorted and walked to Ling's side. Ling naturally took Hongyu's hand and ran out with him.

"Wang, let's go back." Shuo walked to Wang's side. "Shu is probably already cooking. Mr. and Ling are out playing and probably won't be back for breakfast. Let's go tell Shu."

"Heh, I guess Shu will nag at them both again..." Wang waved his hand and walked side by side with Shuo. "Hey, big brother, don't you think Ling seems to be getting more and more attached to Mr.?"

"Really?" Shuo scratched his head in surprise and asked curiously, "Is that true? But hasn't she always been like this?"

"Come on, you're my elder brother." Wang said to Shuo with a tone of disappointment, "Before, it was the master who would approach Ling... but now it's Ling who takes the initiative. Haven't you noticed?"

"...in the past...in the past, when Mr. Ling was always taken out, he would always say, 'A pretty daughter is more worthy of boasting than a pretty son'..."

"Is this the point? The point is that Ling will take the initiative to find her husband now! She will even take the initiative to hold hands." Wang said helplessly, holding his forehead.

"So this is..." Shuo pondered for a while, then said in unison with Wang:

"Is it because of lack of love?!"

"I think she's hitting puberty!"

"..."

"..."

Wang covered his cheeks in pain. Well, it was his fault for telling this to a man whose mind was only filled with martial arts. What was even more terrifying was that he had attracted the interest of this reckless man who didn't understand the ways of the world.

"What? Puberty? So Ling has some feelings for you, sir?!" Shuo looked at Wang in shock after realizing it belatedly, but Wang had already lost interest in explaining to Shuo.

"Let's go find millet first." With a sigh, Wang decided to pass over the topic.

"Hey! Second brother, please explain clearly! What do you mean by entering puberty?! Hey!"

------------------

"I feel that my sister... seems to have some different feelings for Mr...." At the party at Sui's house, Ji found Wang who was playing chess by himself in a corner, and spoke to him a little shyly.

Wang glanced at Ji, then turned away silently without saying anything.

His action seemed to be complaining that the information about Ji was thousands of years late.

"You only know this now?" Zhongyue came over with a few bottles of wine. When he heard this topic, he looked at Ji in surprise.

"Huh?" Ji was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he grabbed Zhongyue's shoulders as if he had heard some particularly shocking news and said anxiously: "Brother, brother! What do you mean?! What do you mean I only know it now?! Could it be that Sister Shu had..."

"Ahem, um... Second brother, let me play chess with you. I also happened to have some wine, let's drink together." Zhongyue had no intention of answering Ji's question. Instead, he sat opposite Wang and chose to avoid the topic.

"Hey! Big Brother! Explain clearly first! What do you mean I only know it now?! Hey!"

PS: Please vote and comment.

When I woke up, I found that the boss had rewarded me with twenty blades. Woc, how could I have deserved that?

Thanks to "Yaya's Single Pusher" for the twenty blades and "Cangzhu" for one blade.

Although I don't have a contract, I won't get a single cent...

Chapter 8: Brother, don’t be too confident

The capital of Dayan was rebuilt quickly after the war, and the depressed atmosphere that existed when the country was at a disadvantage during the "Dashu" war was no longer there.

It was the eve of the Spring Festival, and the atmosphere was bustling with lights and decorations, and bursts of firecrackers could be heard everywhere from time to time.

The morning sun has just shone into the streets of the morning market. At this moment, the road is paved with golden light, making the atmosphere seem lively while also soft and warm.

"Good morning, Your Excellency! These are some steamed buns I just made. Would you like to try them?"

"Good morning, Lord Governor! Are you only bringing Miss Ling with you today? Why aren't you bringing the other ladies?"

"Your Excellency! Your Excellency! The sword that Miss Nian asked me to make is ready. When can you come and pick it up?"

"Master Governor, we love you!"

"Your Excellency, I have some freshly made candied haws here!"

"Leave one for me!" Hongyu replied instantly.

The residents on the street were all very enthusiastic, not only because of Hongyu's identity as the governor of Simi Tai, but mainly because Hongyu didn't know what to do with the huge salary he received from Dayan, so he often went to the people "incognito" and did many charity activities, spending the money that was of no use to him, and at the same time gained a lot of good reputation among the people.

After greeting the enthusiastic residents one by one, Hongyu turned to Ling, who was sitting on his shoulder, and asked, "What are you trying to buy that you're in such a hurry to get me to bring you out? Is there anything else besides candied haws?"

At this time, Ling was no longer holding Hongyu's hand. Instead, he sat astride Hongyu's shoulders, holding the candied haws that Hongyu had just bought from the hawker. His two long white legs were swaying back and forth between Hongyu's shoulders, one on his left shoulder and the other on his right shoulder. He was humming an unknown tune and taking a bite of the candied haws from time to time.

"You just want to eat the candied haws, right?" Ling said, and passed the candied haws he had taken a bite of to Hongyu's mouth. "Want to eat?"

"Hold on tight, don't move..." Hongyu bit off the hawthorn with a tiny tooth mark and held Ling's thigh, reminding him, "You're already grown up, why are you still acting like a child?"

"What's wrong with children? Children have the right to act like spoiled children, but adults can only cry secretly in the toilet." Ling held a clean skewer in his mouth, and his hands, which had nowhere to put, naturally rested on Hongyu's head, while gently rubbing Hongyu's white hair.

"I mean, you're an adult..."

"Stop, stop! Yu, go over there! Over there, over there! That restaurant is open!" Ling interrupted Hongyu's muttering in time and urged Hongyu to take him to buy some wine.

"Which way?" Hong Yu looked in the direction of Ling's finger, and the tip of his nose slightly touched the tender, white and soft spot.

The warm breath blew on the inside of Ling's soft thighs, and a touch like an electric current instantly spread throughout her body, causing Ling's fair cheeks, who usually seemed carefree and didn't care about the close contact with Hongyu, to turn slightly red.

Of course Ling didn't want to go down so quickly. After all, this position had basically been occupied by Shu, Nian, Xi and others in the past. As for herself, today was the first time.

Every time she could only walk on one side while the others surrounded Hongyu and played around, she would feel a little inexplicably uncomfortable.

She didn't know why she cared so much about everything about Hongyu, she just liked the feeling of being with Hongyu.

"Ling, I don't want to be nagged by Shu anymore. Let's not drink so early in the morning." Hongyu advised. After all, being nagged by a girl who looked only in her teens... Hongyu didn't want to experience it again.

"Eh——" Ling stretched out his tone, speaking dissatisfiedly while swaying on Hongyu's shoulder.

"Stop it, stop it."

"Then buy some and drink with me!"

"Good good..."

……

"So, your sister and husband skipped breakfast and went out to play again?" Shu set the tableware in a worried tone. "What about Xiaonian and Xiaoxi?"

"They are probably still sleeping?" Wang silently shifted his gaze. He inexplicably felt that Shu's eyes were very piercing, just... the kind of burning one.

"Well, then I'll go wake them up." Shu put his hands on his hips helplessly, looked at the door, and walked to Nian and Xi's room.

As soon as Shu left, Hongyu came back with Ling on his back and a few jugs of wine in his hands. When Shu saw Hongyu and Ling, he almost immediately shouted to Shu: "Shu! The master has returned... Woo!"

Shuo saw Hongyu carrying wine and an order on his back, and thought that he would be punished if Shu saw him. So he thought of asking Shu to come and take a look. Maybe Shu would not care too much for his sake.

Realizing that the big brother beside him could not control his mouth, Wang cursed in his heart, "Woc, you stupid Chun, what are you doing?!" and hurriedly covered Shuo's mouth.

Just kidding, if Sixth Sister (Shu) knew that Big Brother and I were present when the Master took Third Sister (Ling) out, I guess we would both nag her.

As for whether the sixth sister would give the internet some leniency for the sake of the eldest brother?

This is hilarious! Sixth sister even dares to lecture Mr. Lian. Where do you get your confidence from, big brother?!

After Shuo turned away Wang and covered his hand, he turned back with a confused look on his face and wanted to ask him what he wanted to do, but Shu had already run to Hongyu's side.

Seeing this, Wang slapped his head and blurted out "It's over".

Shuo, on the other hand, still hadn't realized what Wang was trying to say. He nudged Wang's waist with his elbow and said, "Did you feel that Shu seemed to be running very fast just now? I didn't even see clearly."

Wang pushed Shuo's arm away with a look of despair on his face, and said to Shuo: "Let's wait for the scolding."

"Hmm?" Shuo tilted his head, not understanding.

……

By the way, should I show some guilt now?

Let me think about it... How would a parent feel when being scolded by his own child...

Oh! That must be embarrassing!

Hongyu thought.

At the other side of the gate, Shu watched Ling slowly descend from Hongyu's shoulders. The smile on her face froze a little, but she quickly regained control of it. She looked at Hongyu, who was smiling awkwardly, with a blaming expression and said,

"Sir, you're leaving without breakfast! And drinking in broad daylight!"

"Um... Shu, this isn't your sister..." Hongyu was about to explain when he was interrupted by Shu.

She reached out to take the wine jug from Hongyu's hand, lecturing him while urging him, "This isn't your sister's problem, but you, sir, are too indulgent towards her. Forget it, let's go eat first. I'll talk to you after we're done! You're such an unreliable sir..."

Hongyu still maintained a wry smile on his face, while Ling was whistling on the side.

Seeing that Shu was no longer pursuing anything and was preparing to eat first, Wang breathed a sigh of relief.

He no longer wanted to go through the hellish torture of being nagging by Shu for two hours because of staying up late.

This kind of situation is really torturous, when you know that the other person is doing it for your own good, but you just can't listen to them and find it super annoying.

But his elder brother will never give him peace of mind.
