Chapter 172

Since the matter had been brought up, Su Ci did not keep them any longer.

Li Sinian and Yan Ya personally sent the two children to the door of the room. They wanted to follow them in, but were rejected by Rong Heng.

"Baby, are you still blaming us?" Yan Ya squatted in front of her son, looking at him with loving eyes.

Rong Heng couldn't stand her gaze like this.

He said, "You are not in good health, so you should go back and rest early."

Hearing him say this, Yan Ya could only agree, at least he cared about her.

Before leaving, she took off a necklace hanging around her neck and handed it to him, "Baby, this is a space button, do you know how to use it?"

Rong Heng pursed his lips and said, "Just call me Rong Heng."

Baby or something... If Ran Lie heard it, he would be laughed at.

Yan Ya paused and said okay.

"I know how to use it." Rong Heng looked at the pendant in her hand. Its exquisite and simple shape made it look more like an ornament. Unexpectedly, it was a space button.

"Here are the gifts that mom prepared for you and your sister." Yan Ya wanted to hold Rong Heng's hand, but the boy dodged her.

Yan Ya: "Don't you like it?"

Rong Heng shook his head. He didn't even know what was inside, so naturally he couldn't like or dislike it.

Yan Ya: "Then..."

Rong Heng hesitated for a moment and said, "We don't have a space button, but we have a bag."

He reached into his spirit storage bag, took out a Star Chain Fruit, handed it to Yan Ya, then took out another one and handed it to Li Sinian in front of his surprised gaze.

The couple had never imagined that the conditions in the nursery were so bad, yet Rong Heng and Xiao Lihua could still possess precious space equipment.

wrong……

It seems like every child in the nursery has a small bag like this! Could it be... that those are also space equipment?

"I'm sorry for misunderstanding you before."

Rong Heng looked at the man and woman in front of him. After the misunderstanding was resolved, his heart knot was untied, but some thoughts remained unchanged.

"I don't know how normal parents and children get along, but..." Rong Heng said, "My sister and I are living a good life now, and I don't want any major changes."

Hearing this, Yan Ya and Li Sinian were a little at a loss. They looked at Xiao Lihua standing behind Rong Heng.

She rubbed her eyes, yawned and said, "Brother, I'm sleepy..."

Rong Heng responded with a "yes," then said to Yan Ya and Li Sinian, "Thank you for giving birth to me and my sister. When I grow up and become more capable, I will find a way to repay you."

"No, we don't need your reward!" Yan Ya said hurriedly, "As long as you are safe and healthy, and happy every day, that's enough for us!"

Rong Heng blinked. Isn’t this how he feels towards his sister?

He found that he seemed to understand a little bit what the role of "parents" was.

"Thank you, I'll take my sister to bed first."

Rong Heng said goodbye to them, and Xiao Lihua also waved, "Dad, Mom, see you tomorrow."

Then she followed her brother into the room.

Looking at the metal door that opened and closed before her, Yan Ya's eyes revealed a hint of bitterness. She found that she didn't know how to get along with these two children...

"Xiaoya, be happy."

Li Sinian, who had been silent the whole time, handed her the Star Chain Fruit. "At least we found them. We can see them every day from now on, right?"

"But……"

"Love develops slowly over time. Don't be impatient." Li Sinian said in a young voice, "We missed their five years. We can't miss the rest."

Yan Ya looked at the two Star Chain Fruits in her hand, and after a while, she nodded: "You are right."

Anyway, they have decided to stay on Prison Star. It doesn’t matter if they don’t know how to get along now. They have plenty of time and can take it slowly.

Li Sinian took his wife's hand and walked to the seventh floor.

"I have decided to submit my resignation to His Majesty the Emperor." Li Sinian said as he walked.

Yan Ya was a little surprised, but she felt that it was just as it should be.

"Will Your Majesty agree?"

"He will agree. After all, I have trained a powerful army for him over the years, and I have already decided who will take my place..."

The couple's voices faded away.

At the corner of the corridor, the tip of a furry tail retracted. After a while, a young man walked out from the corner. It was the little wolf cub Langze.

The boy came to the door of the lion brother and sister, stood there for a while, and then curled his lips.

The tail that had been raised high behind him now hung down to the ground. He dragged his tail as he left the door of the lion brothers and sisters and came to room 403 next door.

The little wolf cub looked at the closed door, tentatively raised his hand and knocked gently.

“Knock knock—”

The knock on the door was not loud.

However, in the dark room, the little boy lying on the bed pulled down the quilt covering his head and sighed imperceptibly.

As the small sigh fell, the tightly closed metal door of Room 403 opened silently.

The light from the corridor filtered in, casting the boy's shadow diagonally on the floor of the room.

The furry ears on the boy's head moved slightly.

Langze, who had just wanted to give it a try and leave after knocking on the door, looked at the door slowly opening in front of him and couldn't help but open his eyes wide. After he realized what was going on, he suddenly became happy and ran into the room.

When he walked in, the metal door closed again and the room became dim again.

"Star!"

The darkness was no obstacle to the little wolf cub. He rushed to the bed skillfully, lay on the edge of the bed, kicked off his shoes, then lifted a corner of the quilt and twisted his way into Zhengxing's bed.

The warm quilt was filled with the scent of the little star, a faint sweet fragrance, the fragrance of the star chain fruit flowers——

The star chain fruit trees growing under the rope net have grown lush and green, and are the best hiding place.

The little Zhengxing, who loves to hide in the vine leaves, is inevitably contaminated with the rich fragrance of flowers. Even if he takes a bath every day, it is difficult to wash away all the smell.

Surrounded by such a refreshing fragrance, Langze felt much better. He rubbed himself in the quilt, looking for the most comfortable position.

Zheng Xing had no choice but to move further into the bed to make some room for him.

Finally, Langze poked his head out of the quilt and lay side by side with Xiao Zhengxing. His deliberately lowered voice rang out in the room.

"Xingxing, I thought you were asleep! I just knocked on the door gently, can you hear it?"

"Um."

The soft little baby voice carried a hint of helplessness.

Zheng Xing knew that if he didn't respond, Langze might continue talking on his own.

Of course, even if he responded, it would be impossible to completely stop the little wolf from talking, like tonight.

"Can I sleep with you tonight?"

The wolf cub, who had always been heartless, now spoke in a voice that was unexpectedly depressed and pitiful.

Zheng Xing couldn't help but turn his head and face him.

Although he couldn't see, his senses were more sensitive than those of ordinary people. Even without using his mental power, he could still tell that something was wrong with Langze from his voice.

He thought about it and finally agreed softly.

Anyway, he had slept in Langze's room last time, so now it was even if they each had one.

"Xingxing, you are so nice."

After Zheng Xing responded, the little wolf cub suddenly stretched out his arms and hugged the child beside him in a very emotional way, rubbing his head against his.

Xiao Zhengxing's body froze.

Even after so long, he still found it difficult to adapt to the sudden physical contact from the wolf cub, especially such intimate behavior.

Fortunately, Langze only held him for a short while before letting him go.

The boy stretched out his hands from under the quilt and placed them straight on it, then stared blankly at the ceiling with his bright green eyes.

Just when Zheng Xing thought he had fallen asleep, he heard Langze's voice again.

"Xingxing, do you think I have family in this world? It's just that I don't know, and they haven't found me?" The boy's voice was very clear, but in this cold night, there was a rare loneliness in it.

Zheng Xing subconsciously squeezed closer to him.

He didn't know how to answer Langze's question, but feeling the little wolf cub's depression, Zheng Xing's heart, which had always been calm, suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Lang...Ze..." He called him softly.

Hearing his voice, Langze came back to his senses, scratched his hair to cover up, and said with a smile: "I'm talking nonsense, hahahaha, go to sleep..."

He turned sideways with his back to Zhengxing, curled up and closed his eyes. The little wolf cub, who usually slept carefree, now adopted a sleeping position that made him feel insecure.

Zheng Xing faced Langze's back. From his spiritual perspective, he could see that the green fluctuations representing Langze had lost their former vitality and clarity, and instead became a little gloomy.

He frowned in distress.

family……

Zheng Xing thought of the Lion siblings. He tilted his head and observed Langze hesitantly. Finally, he made up his mind and spoke in a stammering voice.

"Brother...brother."

His soft, baby-like voice had a bit more clarity and touched people's hearts more directly in the quiet night.

Langze, who was pretending to be asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Xingxing, you...were you calling me just now?" Langze turned around, and at this time moonlight shone in from the window and shone on his face.

Those bright green eyes sparkled in the cold moonlight, finally regaining their former cheerfulness and liveliness.

Zheng Xing didn't want to talk anymore.

He imitated Langze's actions, slowly turned around with his back to him, squeezed himself into the corner, and pretended that he had not said anything.

However, how could Langze let him go?

"Yes, I heard everything just now!" He said happily, "You just called me brother, right?"

He grabbed Zheng Xing's thin shoulders and leaned close to the child's neck and shoulders. Just like when he asked Su Ci for potato chips before, he spoke to Zheng Xing in a coquettish voice: "I want to hear it again. Xingxing, can you call me again?"

He grabbed Zheng Xing's shoulders and shook him, but unfortunately, Zheng Xing was not moved by his words. He still closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Seeing that Zhengxing remained unmoved, Langze pouted.

In the past, he was particularly envious of Rong Heng for having a lovely sister who would sweetly call him brother and would be the first to share good things with him.

And now, he was inspired.

Yes, he doesn't have a sister, but he can have a brother! Zhengxing is so cute, if he could be his brother, he would definitely be happy to do so!

So what if they are not related by blood?

Who says you have to be blood-related to be considered family? Even if there is such a rule, so what? Does it still apply to him?

I can be whoever’s brother I want!

Of course, Rong Heng's fist is bigger, so Xiao Lihua's brother has to be excluded.

"You clearly called me brother just now, I heard it all! How could you play tricks on me?" Langze muttered, sounding particularly aggrieved.

The ears on Zhengxing's head moved slightly.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with calling him brother again, but the reason he called him just now was to cheer him up. Now that his purpose has been achieved, why should he continue to call him?

Zhengxing did not forget that the Lion brother and sister lived in the same room.

If he continues to call Langze brother... before he didn't call him brother, he would come to his room every day and even sleep with him tonight. If he changes his name to call him brother, wouldn't he come over every night?

Zheng Xing thought about it for a moment and decided that this wouldn't work. He was used to Lang Ze being around, but at night...

He still wants to sleep aloneqaq

However, Langze is a person who will not turn back until he hits the wall. How can he give up so easily?

So when Zheng Xing didn't respond, Lang Ze used his ultimate weapon -

He leaned close to Zheng Xing and whispered in his ear, "If you call me brother, I'll touch your ears, how about that? You can touch them as long as you want, every day..."

The little wolf cub, who had been observing Zhengxing, saw the furry ears on the child's head move slightly, and knew that he must be listening.

He smiled complacently, thought about it, and continued to add weights.

"Besides the ears, you can also touch my tail!" Langze seemed shameless and proud. "Susu also likes my tail very much!"

I just need to say that everyone who has touched it has agreed.

Zheng Xing's little hands tightened unconsciously. He had actually touched Langze's tail before, when he transformed into a beast and went to sleep in his room.

Not only did he touch it, he also held it in his arms as a pillow.

It was soft and fluffy. Burying his face in the fine hair was extremely comfortable and warm. He actually... missed that feeling quite a bit.

If I could sleep with a tail like this every day, then calling Langze brother would be...

It’s not impossible.

Seeing that Zheng Xing still didn't move even after he had used all his trump cards, Langze pouted again, and the pointed ears on his head couldn't help but droop down.

All right.

At least... at least I called out once.

Langze convinced himself in this way, but he couldn't help feeling a little depressed. Just when he was about to lie down and sleep again, he finally heard the movement of the little boy.

I only heard Zheng Xing speak slowly: "Brother."

The soft and sticky voice is as sweet as if it were dipped in magic nectar, and it still sounds so cute.

Langze, who was originally very disappointed, was resurrected with full health on the spot!

"Xingxing, you agreed!" he said happily.

Zheng Xing couldn't help but make a gesture to silence him.

Langze then remembered that it was already late at night, and quickly covered his mouth. Then he lay down happily, dragged Zhengxing to his side, and stuffed his big tail into his arms.

"Touch me, as long as you want!"
