Luo Hualiâs cooking skills were pretty good, plus, Zixiu was so hungry that he ate like a horse. A short moment later, he had eaten up a bowl of rice in chicken soup, leaving a pile of chicken bones on the tray, like a small hill.
Burping with satisfaction, Zixiu scratched his head awkwardly while putting the empty bowl back to the tray in the hands of his senior brother, who had been watching him by his side. After all, they hadnât seen each other for over ten years, plus, Zixiu suffered from amnesia and had no memory of their past, so they were not familiar with each other at all! But now Luo Huali not only served him as a guard but also as a servant, which made him feel so guilty. Therefore, when Huali asked him to stay in bed and was about to feed him, Zixiu turned down his offer without hesitation. His senior brother was really a nice guy and he looked after him even more carefully than his father did! But there was one thing Zixiu didnât like about himâhe was too neurotic! Although Zixiu had difficulty moving because of the bulge in his belly, he was not paralyzed, and his hands and feet could move freely. Moreover, having a man to feed him was too embarrassing and it would remind him of what he had suffered in the Prince Muâs Mansion. âDamn it! Nangong Du, you asshole! You damned pervert! Iâll definitely make you pay for what you did, or Iâll change my surname!â
At the thought of how Nangong Du had treated him when he fed him soup in his mansion, Zixiu was burning with anger. Thankfully, he still remembered that his senior brother had warned him to stay calm. So after cursing everyone in Nangong Duâs family inwardly, he quickly focused on thinking about how to revenge that prince who came to the Cirrus Valley alone. His senior brother had told him that his dad was with Lingxiaoâs dad. As Lingxiaoâs dad was a skillful martial artist and he would be able to escort his dad back safely, Zixiu didnât need to worry about Liu Wuyiâs safety anymore. Now everything seemed to be in his favor, so Zixiu intended to make good use of the advantages to teach Nangong Du a good lesson and get revenge!
As they were in his house, and Nangong Du didnât bring any guards with him, Zixiu thought it would be the right time to use Lingxiao and Huali to deal with that pervert. Maybe it was a little mean, but he just didnât want to miss such a good chance. He knew himself well, so he was aware that a person like him who had neither martial arts cultivation base nor high IQ was no match for Nangong Du at all. To him, the old saying ârevenge is a dish best served coldâ was just a lame excuse when one couldnât retaliate. His patience began to grow thin. As he was so intent on revenge, Zixiu had totally forgotten that his dad didnât want him to have anything to do with people from the Valley of Fallen Blossoms!
Overeating tended to make people sleepy. Just as he was thinking about it, Zixiu couldnât help but yawn lazily when his senior brother came in with another bowl of rice!
âWell, how much soup did my senior brother cook?â
Luo Huali had stewed both the pheasants he caught, so there was a big pot of chicken soup.
Watching Zixiu gobble up a big bowl of rice, as the cook, Huali was overjoyed and a little bit proud of himself. However, he was worried that Zixiu hadnât had enough. Pregnant people usually ate a lot, and Zixiu looked like he had been hungry for a long time, so Huali went to the kitchen and brought him another bowl of rice. As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw Zixiu yawning. âAre you full?â he asked with concern.
âYes, Iâm full!â Zixiu touched his big belly with a nod. After having a decent meal, he felt much better, so he grew more talkative. âSenior brother, itâs very kind of you! If it werenât for you, I would have starved to deathâ¦â
âWith me by your side, you wonât be hungry anymore!â Huali quickly interrupted him with a trace of panic crossing his face. He didnât want to see Zixiu suffer from hanger and cold anymore, and he couldnât help but feel frightened when he heard the word âdeathâ slip out of Zixiuâs mouth. âZixiu, no worries. Youâll have me to protect you and take care of you in the future!â
âErâ¦â Shocked by his senior brotherâs emotional words, Zixiu didnât know what to say. His senior brother treated him so sincerely, but he was still thinking of taking advantage of himâ¦
âSenior brother, youâre treating me like your own brother! How about we become sworn brothers?â
âSworn brothers?â Huali was stupified.
The room went quiet in an instant, and only occasionally the wind blew in from the tattered roof could be heard. Zixiu blinked and waited for his senior brotherâs reply with a sincere look. For a moment, he felt as if the familiarity he had lost for years had come back. What flashed in his mind was a little boyâs smiling face, which was very similar to that of his senior brother. Er⦠That must be his brother when he was a child! âAchooââ
A sudden sneeze dispersed the scene in Zixiuâs mind and brought Huali back to his senses.
âAre you feeling chilly? How about you go back to the other room to sleep?â Huali ran his fingers along Zijuâs forehead in tension and took the opportunity to avoid the topic of becoming his sworn brother. He didnât want to be Zixiuâs brother!
âNo need.â Shaking his head, Zixiu turned dwon his suggestion. He didnât want to bother his senior brother. The other room was quiet for so long and the two dead enemies were not making noise anymore. Even he wasnât that smart, he could tell there was something wrong.
Sure enough, as Zixiu expected, those two in the other room were fighting quietly with their internal force for nearly two hours! Actually, some jealous guys had already begun to fight for him openly and secretly, so Zixiu didnât have to rack his brains to figure out how to use anyone!
âDo you have any extra quilts at home?â As the wind kept blowing in through the burnt-out roof, Huali couldnât help but worry that Zixiu might catch a cold. Although Zixiuâs current temperature was normal, a sneeze was enough for Huali to worry about him. According to his previous diagnosis, Zixiu was still very weak for the moment.
Unfortunately, the only few quilts in Liuâs house were already on Zixiu. Huali could think of no other way but to warm Zixiu up with his own body temperature.
Without thinking that much, Zixiu offered to move into the bed and make room for Huali. Though his senior brother didnât seem to be tired, he had been busy for quite a while, so Zixiu wanted him to take a good rest as well.
So, when the two jealous men stopped fighting and rushed into the room on hearing Zixiu sneeze, they saw the latter was lying next to another man!
âSenior Brother! Iâ¦I really didnât expect you to be like this! How can you covet your brotherâs fiancéeâ¦â
âLiu Zixiu! How dare you make me a cuckold? Move your ass here!â
âNangong Du! How dare you yell at Xiuxiu? Believe it or not, Iâm going to⦠â
âCut the crap! Liu Zixiu is my legal wifeâ¦â
Liuâs house was in chaos again! Needless to say, it was Nangong Du and Yan Lingxiao who made a scene. The two who were lying in bed could not even get a word in edgeways!
