Long Rui: "..." He could tell that after he went out last time, he came back with an extra younger brother, and this time there would probably be another younger brother or sister.
Of course, he didn't have any objections, he was just envious. He really wanted to grow up quickly, only then could he do adult things with Xiao Bei.
A Man and Ya went out. They left Warrior City and flew to their secret base, which was actually on a small hill.
The view was wide, and the ground was flat, making it a good place to get things done.
A Man firmly believed that he was the luckiest dragon-beast in the world. Wentletraight and the others were weak. Did they know what happiness was!
Only intense love could excite a dragon-beast.
On the hill, the two dragon-beasts nuzzled each other affectionately, heads touching, necks intertwined intimately. Their occasional roars seemed like soft whispers to their lovers.
The rhythmic movements made the surrounding trees sway as if playing a special tune.
A beautiful melody, even the flowing breeze passing by would applaud and cheer for their wonderful performance.
...
"Brother Yin Chuan, are you home?" Shu An and Long Ruan Ruan stood at the door, poking their heads in to call out.
"Yes." Soon, a tall and slender young man with a smile on his lips walked out from inside.
"An An, you've come to give me a festival gift again. I'm so embarrassed!" Yin Chuan was extremely embarrassed when he received it. She gave him things every year.
Shu An smiled obediently, "Brother Yin Chuan, just accept it. There's fish inside. You can cook fish soup later."
Yin Chuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to An An. Don't stand at the door. Why don't you come in and sit?"
Shu An politely declined, "No, we have things to do at home. We'll sit another day. Brother Yin Chuan, we're leaving."
"Alright then, you go back. Be careful on the road." Yin Chuan stood at the door, watching them leave for a long distance before retracting his gaze. Just as he was about to go inside, another call came from the door.
"Yin Chuan!" The voice was crisp, belonging to a female.
Yin Chuan sighed helplessly and turned around, "Xiao Ye, it's a festival today. Why aren't you at home helping your mother, running to my place?"
Xiao Ye was the daughter of his next-door neighbor. She had provided him with a great opportunity, but after what happened to his brother, he didn't want to find a mate anymore.
Xiao Ye, empty-handed and aggressive, said, "Yin Chuan, you don't like me, do you? You like Shu An?"
Before he could answer, she continued, "I advise you not to dream. She's a white spirit beast, how could she look at you?!"
Yin Chuan was not angry after hearing this, because what she said was true. He just wanted to send her away quickly. "Who I like has nothing to do with you. Whether she likes me or not is my business. It's a festival today, so I won't keep you. You should go back."
After speaking, he ignored the female outside, picked up the items, and went to the kitchen. Sister Shu Yue was always generous. This year, she gave him five or six fish, a large bag of eggs, potatoes, and other miscellaneous items.
He went to fetch water to wash. He was preparing his New Year's Eve dinner. Just as he was fetching water, he felt a moment of daze. In previous years, his brother would spend it with him. This year and in the future, he would be alone.
Just as the sad emotions welled up, he saw Xiao Ye rush into his kitchen aggressively. Seeing the items peeking out of the bag, she said unreasonably, "Yin Chuan, I'm out of fish at home. I'll take two from you!"
Without waiting for the owner's consent, she picked out the two fattest ones and was about to leave happily when Yin Chuan stopped her.
"You can't take those fish. They are festival gifts from someone else." His eyes turned cold. It was fine if she usually took his things, he didn't care about those small items, but this gift was from Shu Yue's family, and he couldn't waste someone else's kindness.
Suddenly being stopped, Xiao Ye was surprised, "It's just two fish, you have more!"
Yin Chuan was too lazy to waste words and snatched the fish from her hand. "The usual ones are fine, but these fish were given by someone else, and I can't give them to you!"
Xiao Ye was furious, "What, Shu An gave them to you, so I can't eat them? Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing..."
Yin Chuan grabbed Xiao Ye by the collar and dragged her out, then slammed the door shut, indicating she was not welcome!
Xiao Ye was a female and was always doted on by males. If it weren't for Yin Chuan's good looks, would she have taken a liking to this wolf?
"Yin Chuan, you wait!"
Soon, Xiao Ye brought her father to settle the score with Yin Chuan. It was a good day, and Yin Chuan didn't want to get angry, but someone was looking for trouble. If it wasn't resolved with force, it wouldn't work. The two fought fiercely, and in the end, Yin Chuan won. That father and daughter finally had no face to bother him again.
While preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, Yin Chuan thought that he should move into his brother's house. The neighbors here were too annoying, and he didn't like it.
Because he had offended Xiao Ye, the next day rumors spread that Yin Chuan wanted to pursue Shu An, which caused Shu An to come over again. Yin Chuan explained with a blushing face, "An An, don't overthink it. I really didn't mean that. Someone is spreading rumors!"
Shu An expressed understanding, "Don't worry, Brother Yin Chuan, I won't believe the rumors." Yin Chuan took good care of her, but it wasn't the kind of care one gives when looking for a mate. Perhaps she couldn't distinguish before, but now she could clearly tell.
Upon hearing this, Yin Chuan was completely relieved. Neither side explained the rumors. The only action was Yin Chuan moving away, far from this family.
He went back to living his peaceful life.
Back home, Shu An told her mother about the matter. Shu Yue listened and said, "An An, you're right not to misunderstand. Yin Chuan doesn't have that kind of feeling for you. Yin Chuan is a good child, but unfortunately, some people have wicked hearts!"
Shu An was a little worried, "Should we find out who spread the rumors?"
Shu Yue asked, "What does Yin Chuan think?"
"Brother Yin Chuan just told me not to pay attention to these things. After a while, everyone will know the truth."
Shu Yue nodded in agreement, "Yin Chuan is very smart. Let's not interfere with this matter either. I guess he knows who did it, let him handle it himself."
"Okay."
...
At night, Father and Son Went returned without success, their expressions not very good.
Shu Yue knew what was going on and remained unfazed.
Shu An saw this and asked curiously, "Brother, what did you do all day today?"
Shu Ke smiled unnaturally, "Nothing much, just went hunting. We encountered a cunning prey, and it got away!"
Shu An: "..." Prey that could escape from Dad and Brother's hands was indeed cunning enough!
"Let's eat." Shu Yue brought the dishes to the table, giving her eldest son a meaningful glance. That glance made Shu Ke feel guilty. Did Mother know?
Went also had no idea. After dinner, when he went to bed, he found his partner waiting for him, and he knew that nothing could be hidden from her!
His expression was sheepish, "You know everything?"
