“I just kissed you, and you didn’t resist, which shows that you accept me in your heart.”
"I……"
"I don't want to hide it anymore, I want to tell you how I feel."
"you……"
"Ask yourself honestly, do you really not have me here with you?" Xie Chen extended his index finger and touched Su Yan's chest.
As Su Yan looked at Xie Chen in front of him, his mind flashed back to their first meeting. At that time, Xie Chen was a skinny, pitiful little guy.
They followed him around every day, calling him "brother," and always obeyed his lead.
But at some point, things reversed; Xie Chen grew taller and became more skilled in martial arts.
The skinny, pitiful little guy from back then is now more than half a head taller than him, and no longer calls him brother. Instead, he calls him "Su Yan" all day long and teases him.
"Su Yan..." Xie Chen called out softly when he saw that Su Yan hadn't spoken for a while.
Su Yan curled his lip: "Hmph, you used to call me brother all the time, but now that you're more powerful and your martial arts are better than mine, you don't call me brother anymore, huh!"
Xie Chen chuckled lightly: "So that's why you're angry with me, brother. You've said before that you like it when I call you brother, so I'll keep calling you brother."
"It's not that I like hearing it, I..."
Before Su Yan could finish speaking, Xie Chen said, "Brother hasn't answered me yet. Do you have me in your heart?"
Su Yan fell silent again.
This happened so suddenly.
He didn't know how to answer.
Xie Chen continued, "Brother, do you know why my martial arts have improved so rapidly and I'm even more skilled than you? It's because I want to protect you. Only by becoming stronger can I protect you."
Su Yan stared at him, momentarily stunned.
"Brother, do you know why I always like to tease you? It's because... I want you to remember me, and to think about me all the time, even though I'm such a naughty person."
Su Yan never expected that everything Xie Chen did was for him.
At this moment, Xie Chen leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Brother likes me, right? You're just too shy to admit it. Well then, if you're too shy to say it, tell me in another way. I'll close my eyes, and if you kiss me, that means you like me, okay?"
Before Su Yan could refuse, Xie Chen had already turned to face him and then closed his eyes.
Su Yan looked at Xie Chen and couldn't help but swallow.
He had never been so nervous in his life.
My hands were sweating.
What should he do? Should he kiss her or not?
If it's a kiss, then he... he's agreed.
But if he doesn't kiss her, he feels uncomfortable.
However, he still felt somewhat unaccustomed to it. He had been taking care of his younger brother for many years, even though this younger brother had become increasingly outstanding and had already surpassed him as the older brother.
Xie Chen closed his eyes and waited, believing that he could move Su Yan.
Time passed by, second by second.
Xie Chen remained motionless with his eyes closed throughout.
Just then, he felt a soft touch on his lips, which made the corners of his mouth suddenly turn up...
Chapter 331 When did you start having designs on me?
Xie Chen opened his eyes and looked happily at Su Yan.
Su Yan blushed, looked away, and then pushed him, saying, "You can get off me now!"
Xie Chen grabbed his wrist again, like a wild beast eyeing its prey: "Brother has already agreed, so there's no way I can come down. Brother has been so good to me, I have to repay him properly..."
Su Yan subconsciously squeezed his legs together: "You, you let go, it's not okay... you can't."
"Can't I, brother?"
Su Yan shook his head immediately upon hearing this: "No, no, I... I'm not mentally prepared yet!"
It was a difficult thing for him to agree.
We need to give him some time to process this.
When will my brother be mentally prepared?
"I don't know," Su Yan replied decisively.
The main reason he thought about this was that he was accidentally injured by Xie Chen's sword sheath back then, and that pain was still vivid in his mind.
Xie Chen sighed helplessly, then got off Su Yan and lay down beside him, saying, "It's alright. We've waited so many years already, what's a little longer? I'll wait for the day when my brother is willing to give himself to me."
Su Yan glanced at him: "Tell me honestly, when did you start having designs on me?"
Xie Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw Xie Chen's serious expression: "I told you, brother, you're not allowed to hit me."
Su Yan snorted: "What are you afraid of? I can't beat you anyway."
Xie Chen leaned closer and whispered in his ear, "That year I accidentally saw my brother taking a bath, and I had an urge to pin him down and pamper him."
"..." Su Yan's mind went blank, and the temperature on his face soared.
Xie Chen looked at Su Yan's flushed face and couldn't help but burst into laughter again: "Brother looks so cute when he blushes."
"Get lost! You're the cute one, your whole family is cute!" After saying that, Su Yan turned his back and didn't dare to face Xie Chen.
But Xie Chen reached out and pulled him into his arms, whispering, "Yes, my whole family is adorable. Doesn't that mean you're admitting you're adorable, brother? Because you've already promised me, you're mine now."
Su Yan was stunned for a moment, and was about to break free from his embrace, but then he heard him say, "It's fine if you don't let me bully you, but you can't even hug me?"
"..."
"Brother, you should let me hold you while you sleep. Otherwise, if you keep moving around in my arms like this, it's easy for things to get heated."
"..." Upon hearing this, Su Yan immediately froze.
Xie Chen immediately laughed: "Brother is so obedient."
Su Yan didn't know how he fell asleep that night.
The next day, looking at Xie Chen, who had been holding him all night, and thinking about what had happened the night before, he felt like it was all a dream.
He even suspected that he had eaten too many plums and gotten drunk, which caused him to hallucinate.
However, when Xie Chen woke up and called him "brother," he realized that everything that happened last night was not a dream, but real.
He agreed to Xie Chen's proposal; he's with this despicable guy now.
Xie Chen smiled and looked at Su Yan, who was still a little confused, and said, "It's a new day again. Butler brother, you have to take good care of me!"
"..." Su Yan wanted to speak, but for a long time he didn't know what to say. If it were any other day, he would have pointed at Xie Chen's nose and cursed him.
He was still a little unaccustomed to it, and after getting up and washing up, he hurriedly ran out of the room.
Anyone who didn't know better would think he was being bullied and then ran away.
Chapter 332 Talent
Su Yan rushed to the study, where Feng Muting was already up. He glanced at Su Yan, who had hurried over, and said, "It's rare that you're late."
"Your Highness, please forgive me," Su Yan immediately bowed his head and said.
Feng Muting didn't say anything more. After washing up, he went to his room to have breakfast with Su Fuliu.
"When will Aunt Xu arrive?" Su Fuliu asked.
“She definitely won’t arrive until 9 AM.” Feng Muting said as he picked up the porridge in front of Su Fuliu, preparing to feed him.
"I don't need Tinglang to feed me, I can eat by myself." Su Fuliu paused for a moment, then reached out to take her bowl of porridge.
But Feng Muting dodged it: "Aliu, just sit still, I'll feed you."
"No need, I..."
"Yes, yes." Feng Muting insisted on feeding Su Fuliu porridge.
Su Fuliu had no choice but to sit there and let him feed her.
After having breakfast and getting dressed in matching outfits, the two sat down and waited for Xu Jiaolong to arrive.
Sure enough, Xu Jiaolong arrived at 9:00 AM.
"Aunt Xu," the two called out in unison.
Xu Jiaolong smiled and nodded, then looked at the somewhat reserved Su Fuliu and said, "I heard from Shi'er that you've learned a set of acupuncture techniques that can relax muscles and tendons and strengthen the body, so you'd like to give me acupuncture?"
Su Fuliu nodded: "Well... I noticed that Aunt Xu seemed to have some discomfort in her shoulder the other day, so I thought I'd use this acupuncture technique to relax her muscles and improve her circulation. After the acupuncture, Aunt Xu's shoulder felt better."
"Really? I didn't expect you to be so observant, even noticing that my shoulder was uncomfortable, something I hadn't even noticed before," Xu Jiaolong replied.
Feng Muting chuckled awkwardly but didn't say anything.
Xu Jiaolong then went over and sat down.
Su Fuliu then began to administer acupuncture to her.
Feng Muting stood to the side. This was the first time he had seen Su Fuliu use her medical skills, even though she was using them to do "bad things".
Moreover, this was the first time he had ever known that Su Fuliu was actually left-handed.
He had watched Lu Chimo and Bai Yulang administer acupuncture many times and knew that they both used their right hands.
To be precise, all the doctors he had ever seen used their right hand to administer acupuncture.
Only Su Fuliu used her left hand to administer acupuncture.
Even though he was completely ignorant of medicine, he could still notice that Su Fuliu's acupuncture technique was much faster than Lu Chimo's and Bai Yulang's.
Every stitch was made cleanly and decisively, without any hesitation or delay.
It takes a lot of skill to be able to do it so quickly and accurately.
Even a complete novice like him was amazed; one wonders if Lu Chimo would be even more amazed if he were here.
