origin

I'd heard of the name Liu Muze before. He was a famous playboy in the Jianghu, rich and a skilled fighter, someone you couldn't mess with. He had a slew of romantic affairs, rumors of countless women accompanying him every night, while others claimed he'd flirted with countless women without ever being spotted, never having a single crush on anyone. People speculated he was either a badass or just a philanderer...

Liu Muze thought about how he had just scolded and bitten him. This time, he was completely finished in his hands. Judging from his behavior, he must be a homosexual. Begging for mercy was impossible. If he dared to insult anyone, he would commit suicide!

Liu Muzhe's mouth corners drooped and he turned his head away.

The shopkeeper brought up hot water and a towel. Ye Chenyi helped him up and wanted to take off his blood-stained clothes.

"What are you going to do?" Liu Muzhe looked like he was about to cry, clutching his belt tightly.

This made Ye Chen laugh, and he shouted loudly: "Wipe the blood!"

Liu Muzhe shuddered with fear.

"You are not a girl, and you are as thin as a bamboo pole wrapped in dog skin. I feel uncomfortable even when you sleep next to me. Who wants your flesh!" Ye Chenyi said with a smile.

Liu Muzhe lowered his eyes and reluctantly let go of his hand.

"Does it hurt?" Ye Chenyi gently wiped the blood from him.

Liu Muzhe shook his head.

"You are quite patient kid. How old are you?" Ye Chen asked with a smile.

"Sixteen years old." Liu Muzhe said softly.

"Oh, you are really a little brat. Where do you live? I will take you back." Ye Chen put the blood-stained towel in the basin to wash it, and continued to wipe him.

"I have no home, I'm an orphan..." Liu Muzhe didn't dare to blink. Tears were already welling up in his eyes and would fall if he blinked.

Ye Chenyi felt a pang of pain in his heart. No wonder he had been so defensive just now. He had to be on guard against everyone when he was venturing into the world alone.

This child is handsome. If he were to wander around alone, he would definitely be caught and raped by those beasts. Although this child is sloppy, he is really good-looking. He was able to escape the clutches of human traffickers, so he probably knows some martial arts. If he is dressed up well, he will definitely become a famous person in this world. It just so happens that he is bored wandering around alone, so it would be nice to have a kid around to play with him.

Seeing him, Ye Chen lifted his chin and said with a smile: "Then you will have a home from now on. I am your brother! Call me brother."

When Liu Muzhe heard what he said, his breathing stagnated and he thought to himself: Did he just say that I have a family?

Liu Muzhe didn't resist even though his chin was lifted. He stared at him with a red face and refused to scream.

Ye Chenyi chuckled, let him go and said, "If you don't want to call me brother, it's okay. Just call me Ye Chenyi."

"Knock, knock, knock... Sir, your medicine and food are here!" The shopkeeper put the things on the table and brought up two more sets of clothes.

"You have good eyesight. Take it!" Ye Chen threw silver ingots on his clothes.

"Hey, thank you, sir. Have a good rest. Call me if you need anything."

Ye Chenyi applied medicine to his wound, wrapped it carefully with gauze, and put on new clothes for him, "Change your pants too."

"I'll do it myself!" Liu Muzhe held up his pants to prevent him from pulling them.

"Okay, do it yourself." Ye Chen sneered and turned around to serve the rice. "Here, eat something. You look so thin. You haven't had a full meal in a long time, right?"

Liu Muzhe was afraid that he would drug him, so he didn't dare to eat it.

"Tsk, you're quite wary!" Ye Chenyi took the chopsticks and ate two bites himself, then served him another bowl.

Liu Muzhe shook his head and still refused to eat.

"You little brat, don't be ungrateful! Whether this young master wants you to die or do something else, it's all easy, there's no need to drug you!" Ye Chen stuffed a handful of rice into his hands.

Liu Muzhe began to retch when he saw the meat on the rice.

"Why did I vomit in front of you?" Ye Chenyi laughed out of anger.

He spent so much money on good things, but he still felt sick just looking at them!

Liu Muzhe put the food on the table, curled up in the quilt and started crying.

"Hey, why are you crying? I was just being mean to you, but it's not necessary, is it?" Ye Chen was stunned and went over to pick up the puppy. "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Muzhe didn't say anything and just curled up in his arms and cried.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I shouldn't have scared you. Stop crying, okay?" Ye Chen's heart was melted by his crying and he coaxed him softly.

Thinking that I hadn't even asked him what the injury was, maybe it was the injury, I asked again, "How did you get this injury?"

Liu Muzhe still didn't say anything.

As soon as Ye Chen let him go, he asked the store owner to remove the food and bring up some sweet soup.

"Get up and drink some sugar water." Ye Chen picked up the sugar water and fed it to him.

Liu Muze didn't feel sick when eating sugary drinks. He liked the sweet taste very much. "I'm sorry..."

"Oh, I thought you only knew how to bite and curse people." Ye Chen raised the corner of his mouth.

Liu Muzhe kept his eyes down, not daring to look at him.

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Chen asked seriously.

"He was taken to a cannibalistic shop and was injured when he escaped." Liu Muzhe said in a low voice.

Ye Chen was so depressed that he frowned and asked, "Did you eat human flesh?"

Liu Muze said softly, "Hmm," "If you don't eat, you won't have the strength to resist and escape."

Ye Chen clenched his fist and asked coldly, "Tell me, where is that store?"

Liu Muzhe refused to say anything, as there were still three thugs and the boss alive, and he was afraid of causing trouble for Ye Chenyi.

"It's okay, you take a rest, I'll be back soon." Ye Chen went downstairs, asked for a horse, came to the place where he had just met the kid, and followed the blood trail to find him.

Two other men with machetes also followed the blood trail and asked Ye Chenyi, "Did you see a wounded little boy?"

"Yes, why are you looking for him?" Ye Chen smiled.

"He killed our brother, I want him to pay with his life!" The man glared and frowned, and looked like he would definitely capture Liu Muzhe and skin him alive.

"I know where he is. Give me some money and I'll take you there." Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at the two of them.

"Okay!" The two fools actually believed him and followed him.

Arriving at the door of the inn, Ye Chen jumped off his horse, pointed at the inn and said politely to the two of them, "He's inside."

The two men snorted coldly, didn't give him any money, and walked into the inn with a swagger.

When they turned their heads and showed their backs, Ye Chenyi's face instantly turned cold. He raised his sword and stabbed, cutting the tendons of both men's hands.

"Ah! You... you dare to trick us!"

Ye Chenyi sneered as he carried them upstairs, opened the door, and kicked them to the ground: "Kneel down!"

Liu Muzhe was frightened by the sudden noise and shrank into the corner.

Ye Chen smiled and walked over: "Amu, look, are these the two people?"

Liu Muzhe recognized at a glance that it was the person who was caught by the two of them. He nodded and stared at Ye Chenyi blankly.

Ye Chenyi stabbed the two men in the stomach with his sword, and then cut their arms open, right where Liu Muze was injured: "Amu, they hurt you, how do you want to retaliate? Skin them or pull out their tendons?"

Liu Muzhe was stunned. This person would actually avenge him.

The two men's attitude changed 180 degrees, and they kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Sir, please spare our lives, we are wrong, don't kill us!"

Seeing that he was silent, Ye Chen sneered and said to the two of them, "It seems that my Ah Mu is kind-hearted and doesn't want to torture you. Then I will give you a quick death!"

Ye Chen raised his sword and swung it across their necks. After two dull whimpers, the room became quiet again.

"Shopkeeper, drag him away and don't get in my way!" Ye Chen said coldly.

"Oh, okay..." The shop owner was scared to death by him and was no longer afraid of dead people. He ran downstairs at full speed.

Ye Chenyi's expression softened. He sat down beside the bed and patted his back gently: "Don't be afraid! From now on, as long as I, Ye Chenyi, am here, no one will dare to hurt you again!"

Liu Muze blinked at him, feeling very uncomfortable, not knowing what to say. There was actually such a nice person in this world, and he had just bitten and scolded him...

"You...how do you want me to repay you?" Liu Muzhe felt a little uneasy. What if he wanted that?

"Repay?" Ye Chen looked him up and down. This little dog had nothing, so how could he repay him?

"You have nothing, why don't you pledge your love to me?" Ye Chenyi raised his eyebrows, "How about it?"

"Ah?" Liu Muze frowned, "I'm a man, how can I marry you..."

"Hahahaha, you kid, you're taking this seriously!" Ye Chen's eyes narrowed into slits with joy. "Everyone who likes me is lining up. Even if you beg me to marry you, I might not be willing!"

Liu Muze: "..."

He is a good person, but not very serious!

Ye Chen thought that he had everything he needed, so why should he ask for anything in return? But if he said he didn't want anything in return, the little puppy would definitely get suspicious again: "If you really want to repay me, just hug me. I was the one who hugged you just now, and you didn't seem happy about it."

Liu Muzhe stared at Ye Chen and hesitated for a long time. A hug was not too insulting. It was better than being hit by anything.

He closed his eyes, stretched out his hands, and hugged Ye Chenyi tightly.

Ye Chen was frozen in place. He just said it casually. He didn't expect that the little kid who just refused to let him touch would actually hug him. After a moment of hesitation, he reached out and hugged the little dog, patted his head and comforted him: "It's okay, don't be afraid!"

For the first time in so many years, Liu Muzhe felt safe and secure. He couldn't help but shed tears. He cried more today than in the previous sixteen years combined.

Ye Chen felt his shoulders were wet, so he helped him up and wiped away his tears: "Don't cry, when your injury is healed, I will take you to the street to buy delicious food! Okay?"

Liu Muzhe nodded.

"Then call me brother!" Ye Chenyi raised his lips to smile.

"...Brother." Liu Muzhe was a little embarrassed, and his face turned red after being called brother.

"My little Amu is so cute." Ye Chenyi's smile widened. He pinched his face and shouted, "I have a little brother!"
