"Xing'er?" Xie Tingyue was very surprised, "Why are you here? Is the academy on holiday?"
Xie Tingxing clenched his small fists, his voice trembling: "Why did my brother secretly marry someone behind my back! Why did you live in someone else's house! Why didn't you tell me! I couldn't find my brother anywhere when I went home... They said that my brother would never come again!" came back!"
Xie Tingyue sighed, reached out her hand to her younger brother's round face, and wiped his tears for him: "So it was my brother who did something wrong, why is Xing'er crying?"
Xie Tingxing's mouth was flattened, and the tears flowed even more fiercely.
The child is only ten years old this year, facing his favorite and gentle elder brother, he can't show his arrogance even when asked, just like an abandoned puppy, very pitiful.
"well… "
Xie Tingyue bent over and hugged her younger brother in her arms, and patted her brother: "Xing'er is an older child, stop crying."
"Don't—don't hug me—" the child refused with a stern face, and pushed away hard, afraid of hurting his elder brother, he pushed his little hand back and then retracted it, but he was unwilling to retract it, his elder brother had already hugged him like a child inside!
"I grew up... heavy!"
The child blushed deeply, and for a moment didn't know whether to struggle or continue to pretend to be fierce.
"You're not heavy," Xie Tingyue held her younger brother's buttocks and twitched, "It's still stiff before the wings grow, so I won't let my brother get close, huh?"
While talking, Xie Tingyue pinched her younger brother's fleshy face, kneading the tender little face into various shapes.
"Lang... Lang... Only kiss my brother, okay!"
Xie Tingxing slid off his brother with great effort, looking at his brother who was smiling foolishly, his heart was very tired.
Brother is so stupid, no one is watching, he will only suffer and be bullied!
"Why did my brother want to marry the eldest young master of the Chu family? But that woman surnamed Lin forced her? I've inquired about it, and everyone said that Chu Mu is dying of illness!"
The child frowned, and a younger brother's voice came from the bottom of his heart: I don't agree with this marriage!
Xie Tingyue knew this would happen, so she didn't tell Xie Tingxing.
Most of the time, the care of relatives is blind, and they protect their shortcomings to the death. No matter what the environment is or what the situation is, as a man, as a brother who is stalwart in his brother's heart, it is impossible to choose the road of marriage out of the heart, and he must have suffered a lot of grievances , a lot of oppression, I don't know how difficult it is... The man who married his brother is dying!
What kind of marriage is this? It's a humiliation!
Xie Tingyue could almost imagine how much content was filled in his little brother's brain.
Children are not unintelligent. They don't understand anything and will only make troubles willfully. It's just that they have too little life experience, so they can't see many things. If they see it, they can't think clearly for a while.
Xie Tingyue rubbed her younger brother's head, her voice was gentle: "Come here to find me, have you ever gone home before?"
Xie Tingxing's face was solemn: "Of course! My brother taught me that no matter what happens, you must go home first. This is basic courtesy!"
Xie Tingyue smiled: "Did you see Mother Luo?"
"Well..." Xie Tingxing frowned, "Mother Luo is in charge of the family affairs, and the woman surnamed Lin is grounded."
Xie Tingyue's smile deepened: "So you still don't understand?"
The child stared at his elder brother with round eyes, still full of disapproval.
He is not stupid, his elder brother got married suddenly, the family changed, the annoying woman was locked up, and mother Luo came back, it was self-evident.
This is my brother's own marriage in exchange for it!
Xie Tingyue's eyebrows were warm, and her voice was firm: "Brother is justified in doing what he did. He will not be sad, will not be hurt, and nothing will happen to him."
"But—" The child was a little anxious, but he was too embarrassed to express his worry directly. If he married someone else's family, no matter if he was a woman or a man, his life would definitely not be comfortable! After holding back for a long time, I asked a question, "Is it true that my brother will go home after the surname Chu dies?"
Xie Tingyue patted his younger brother's forehead: "This is not something you should worry about, eat well, study hard, huh?"
Xie Tingxing covered his forehead: "I have grown up, my brother can't bully me like a child!"
"Okay, you've grown up," Xie Tingyue smiled, "The grown-up young master of the Xie family, can I take you home?"
Xie Tingxing put his hands behind his back, coughed, and glanced at him secretly, with a certain expression: "Young master doesn't want to go home, I want to go to your house for dinner."
Xie Tingyue paused.
Xie Tingxing's sharp little canine teeth came out: "Can't you? Then the Chu family won't even let my brother-in-law come to eat?"
What a breakthrough! Also advertised that he has rules!
Forget it!
No matter how tough the child is, he is still a bit aggressive, like a paper tiger. In the end, he is just worried about his brother, and wants to see with his own eyes where he lives and how he is doing well.
Xie Tingyue's heart softened for a while, and she took her younger brother's hand: "Okay, let Chu Mu treat you to dinner today."
…
When the brother-in-law came to the door, Chu Mu, who is a "brother-in-law", naturally wanted to entertain and accompany him.
As soon as the two met each other, they looked at each other, feeling dissatisfied and unhappy.
Xie Tingxing was very dissatisfied with the sick man sitting in a wheelchair. He was thin and fair. He was not an ordinary good-looking fair skin, but bluish white. Coupled with a pale lip color that would kill him, this person was definitely not far from seeing the King of Hades. Laughing as soon as we meet, laughing and laughing, and elegant and gentlemanly, but in fact it is fake, just pretending! He even asked his brother to help pour water, arrange clothes and cover blankets—you are just sick, not dead, you can’t pour water yourself if you want to drink water! Are the clothes messy and blind? Can’t you see! Afraid of the cold, don’t you know how to cover with an extra blanket? You have to be surrounded by others to be happy, right
childish! boring!
The child's staring eyeballs are all round.
Chu Mu became more restrained. His gaze glides over the hands held by the two brothers, and Xie Tingyue's undisguised doting smile, and the child's possessive and provocative actions, he knows how good the relationship between the two is.
It's a pity that the child is not an obedient tiger. He blushes at Xie Tingyue in all kinds of ways to act obediently. Tamer rushed towards his face, and he almost got into a fight.
It's not a poor abandoned puppy at all, it's a little wolf with tiny fangs!
Chu Mu's smile is warm and elegant, like a gentleman, except for some very special angles that reveal some meaning, other times are perfect.
Xie Tingxing was smiling, he was smiling, Xie Tingxing was grimacing, he was smiling, Xie Tingxing stared over, he was still smiling...
The childish teeth rattled and almost jumped up!
This bastard did it on purpose!
When a variety of dishes came to the table, Xie Tingxing was very rude. He glanced at Chu Mu provocatively, and pointed his chin at the bad duck feet in the distance: "Brother, I want to eat that!"
What can Xie Tingyue do? My younger brother who I dote on, I have to carry it around again. While feeding his younger brother with vegetables, he gave Chu Mu an apologetic look.
The child is not usually like this, but on the contrary, he often takes good care of his elder brother. Today's behavior... is a lack of security.
Of course Chu Mu didn't care about the children, so he smiled back.
Xie Tingyue was grateful for his generosity, and paid more attention to him. Seeing that he didn't move his chopsticks much, she picked up a few light and palatable dishes that were far away, and picked some for him.
Xie Tingxing's eyeballs almost popped out!
treacherous! cunning! shameless! Black belly! Chu Mu is playing dirty tricks! This is provocation!
When the child was aggrieved and angry, and he was about to burst into flames, Chu Mu gently put a piece of rock candy pig's trotter on his face with a perfect and elegant smile on his face: "Xie Er's younger brother is my younger brother, just say what you want, I will be satisfied."
Xie Tingxing:! !
Who wants to tell you! Who wants something from you! Young master is not your brother, never will be!
After the rock sugar pig's trotters, a round of dishes was removed from the table, and a pile of them came up—
The dish that made Xie Ting's eyes straight.
Chu Mu smiled elegantly and warmly: "I didn't know you were here before, and I wasn't prepared enough. I asked your brother and I know these are your favorite flavors. Use more?"
Xie Tingxing was so angry that his eyebrows were about to fly.
But food... is innocent. The first thing that my brother was told to teach him was not to waste it.
You bastard Chu Mu, you wait for the young master to finish eating!
In short, they seem to be getting along harmoniously and beautifully, but in fact, their secret dealings are like knives. It's just that one big and one small tacitly avoided Xie Tingyue and didn't let him know.
"The tea is empty, I'll go get some more." Xie Tingyue had dismissed all the servants before, and now she can only work by herself, "Eat slowly."
As soon as he left, Xie Tingxing put down his chopsticks.
Chu Mu gathered the blanket on his lap.
Xie Tingxing said with dark eyes, "Don't bully my brother! You haven't bullied me yet, have you?" His gaze swept across Chu Mu's lower body, and his words became sharper, "You shouldn't be able to bully me, either?"
Chu Mu smiled lightly and held the tea: "If your brother knows that you know so much, he must be very 'relieved'."
The child became anxious immediately: "Don't complain! This is a conversation between men!"
Chu Mu's eyebrows slanted like a distant mountain: "So your brother is in your eyes, isn't it—"
"Nonsense!" Xie Tingxing thought that this person would react the same as others, what kind of a man was he to attack him, at most he was milky, but who knew that he called his brother, his anger soared, "You are not a man! None of your family is a man! "
Xie Tingyue just came back from making tea: "What are you talking about?"
The two turned their heads together, one smiling like a spring breeze, and the other smiling cutely.
"We're talking about the dishes."
"Yeah, brother Chu said that the cook is a man who knows the eight major dishes, very good!"
Very harmonious.
"Is the cook a man? I didn't know..." Xie Tingyue was in a good mood, walked to the side table and lowered his head to share the tea.
Xie Tingxing approached Chu Mu, his eyes were as sharp as a little wolf's, and he warned in a low voice: "Anyway, don't bully my brother, or I'll kill you!"
In order to prove the truth of this statement, he even lifted the corner of his robe with his chubby little hand, and let Chu Mu see the dagger stuck in his boot.
Whoever bullies his brother, he will kill him!
Chu Mu raised his eyebrows: "It seems that I have to live well."
Xie Tingxing:
Chu Mu: "In this way, we can take care of your brother for a long time."
The childish eyebrows are about to stand up.
The corners of Chu Mu's eyes raised ink-stained arcs, cold and cold: "The knife hurts others, and it also hurts yourself. Put it away, don't let your brother worry."
"You need to say it!"
Xie Tingxing tidied up his trousers, making sure no one could see.
With this last sentence, he gave Chu Mu a high look.
When I saw his knife, I didn't make a fuss and complain, and I didn't snatch it and say it was unsafe, so it was okay. That's what a real man should do, don't make a fuss, don't act casually, and don't let his family worry.
The child rounded his eyes, came up with a new idea, and approached Chu Mu again: "I see that other people's brothers-in-law are very powerful. If my brother-in-law is in trouble, just tell me and my brother-in-law will solve it. How about you, can you?"
Chu Mu looked at him with a smile: "Did you not recognize my position?"
"I won't admit it if you solve it," the child said shamelessly, "so why don't you do it?"
Chu Mu tapped the chair with his slender fingertips, and his smile grew wider: "Tell me, who bullied you?"
"Who bullied you?"
Following these words, Xie Tingyue came over, frowning slightly: "Don't cover up and lie, I heard what you said just now. Xie Tingxing, who bullied you?"
Xie Tingxing suddenly looked like a deflated ball, cowardly, neither arrogant nor harsh, he just gave Chu Mu a fierce look, his brother didn't even know he was so close, what's the use of you!
