Chapter 44 Unbearable Itch

Feng Huaijin was now tall and strong, so he could easily lift Su Yu up in his arms. However, he still remembered that his brother valued his image in public, so he only secretly supported Su Yu until they were out of the demon horde. Then he picked him up and instantly returned to Su Yu's bedroom in the courtyard.

Just as he was about to put Su Yu on the bed, he remembered his brother's habitual cleanliness, so he turned around and temporarily settled Su Yu on the couch to the side.

Then they brought over a few low stools to surround the edge of the bed, to prevent Su Yu from turning over and falling down.

After taking care of Su Yu, Feng Huaijin went to the hot spring in the backyard to fetch water and used his demonic energy to maintain the water temperature at a suitable level.

Feng Huaijin had prepared several buckets of water for a bath, but when he looked at the water, the tips of his ears suddenly turned red. In the end, he only carried two buckets of water back to the bedroom.

He filled the tub with water, then faced the drowsy, sleeping Su Yu and whispered, "Excuse me."

After saying that, his expression softened suddenly, and he chuckled softly.

"Anyway, my brother definitely won't blame me, right?"

Su Yu naturally did not respond, but simply turned over again in a daze.

Feng Huaijin wet a face towel and gently wiped Su Yu's face.

Next came the neck and arms.

Let's forget about it; that would be too inappropriate.

After wiping his upper body, Feng Huaijin helped Su Yu lie down flat.

Then she squatted down, took off his shoes and socks, and continued wiping the work.

It turns out that my brother had a small red mole on the inside of his left ankle.

Feng Huaijin swallowed unconsciously, his Adam's apple bobbing. He held the warm, smooth foot in his hand, his burning gaze licking over it inch by inch, but he hesitated to make the next move.

The intense itching sensation from my tiger teeth is back again.

But this time it wasn't in my teeth, it was in my heart.

His gentle yet intense gaze gradually turned into a suppressed, dark obsession.

I want to be closer to my brother.

It's even closer than what those swooning bees and butterflies want to do.

Feng Huaijin unconsciously drew closer and closer.

Only when he sensed Su Yu trying to turn over again did he suddenly realize what was happening and let go of her.

No, what was he just doing?

Feng Huaijin's face was deathly pale, and he looked terrified and uneasy.

How could he do such a licentious and shameless thing?

This is an insult to his brother!

He got up and wanted to escape.

But after turning around and standing still, his chest heaving violently a few times, he lowered his head and squatted down again, taking off Su Yu's coat and trousers, which were stained with the smell of alcohol.

Then I carried him to bed, covered him with the blanket, and tucked the blanket around his feet.

Finally, he fled the bedroom as if escaping, making sure to close the bedroom door and the yard gate behind him.

Su Yu lay blankly on the bed, covering her head and gazing at the sky.

I should have known better than to drink so much.

It looks like his room.

How did he get back?

Sitting up in a daze, Su Yu looked down.

Oh, he was only wearing his underwear, and she even thoughtfully helped him take off his outer clothes.

That must be twelve.

Su Yu slowly got out of bed, dressed and washed up, and prepared to go next door to check out today's breakfast.

Where did my belt go?

Never mind, we'll just get a different one.

Su Yu shook out the outer robe she had changed out of and took out the communication stone that she had previously stuffed into her pocket.

I was planning to pack up and leave, but I didn't expect to receive a new message from Lin Yi.

[Lord Ghost Master, you must keep your word. The new batch of ghost talismans will be delivered tomorrow, is that alright?]

Did he say that?

Lin Yi should have been at Baiweilou last night.

But he had no recollection of it.

It's as if this never happened.

Su Yu nonchalantly extinguished the communication stone.

He's looking for his son to have dinner with now.

"Twelve, what are you doing?"

Su Yu stood at the door and asked, somewhat surprised.

Feng Huaijin, dressed neatly, sat sideways on the edge of the bed, holding something in his hand and rubbing it as he looked down.

It's strange. Twelve shouldn't have drunk much last night. He would usually be practicing his sword in the courtyard by now.

Upon hearing the sound, Feng Huaijin turned around, a hint of panic in his eyes. He hurriedly put the things in his hands back into his storage ring before striding towards Su Yu.

“It’s nothing, brother, what’s wrong with you…” Feng Huaijin paused for a moment, then continued, “The breakfast is warming up in the small kitchen, I’ll go get it.”

"Ah, okay." Su Yu considerately followed his words, sat down at the table outside, and watched Feng Huaijin leave quickly after he finished speaking.

It's normal for kids to have their own little secrets as they grow up.

They should be given full respect.

Damn it, I'm still so curious.

Is there anything he can't know?

Su Yu stared blankly out the window at the branches and leaves.

My head still hurts a little, ugh.

Feng Huaijin didn't keep Su Yu waiting long. As Su Yu slowly counted to the twentieth new leaf, he came in with a tray and placed the food on the table.

"Huh—so bland?"

“Hmm,” Feng Huaijin said with a straight face, pushing a bowl of sweet soup toward Su Yu, “Drink this first, it will help you sober up.”

Su Yu picked up the bowl somewhat guiltily and downed it in one gulp.

"Cough cough..."

"Brother, drink slowly!"

Feng Huaijin hurriedly got up and removed the soup bowl. Seeing that Su Yu had recovered and stopped coughing, he sat up straight again, resuming his stern expression, and said with a deep look in his eyes, "Brother."

"Today's meal is all vegetarian."

Su Yu's eyes widened instantly, and she turned to look at Feng Huaijin in disbelief, trying to argue: "Come on, I don't think I did anything wrong last night?"

Because her memory was somewhat hazy, Su Yu wasn't entirely sure what she said next.

Feng Huaijin calmly began enjoying his breakfast. After taking a sip of congee, he said nonchalantly, "If you want to drink later, I'm always ready to accompany you."

"Just don't go out and get drunk, lest..." He started grinding his back teeth again, "lest you get bullied by some unknown demon."

Su Yu smiled and said, "Who can bully me?"

"Uh, I guess?" Su Yu noticed that Feng Huaijin's expression was off, and her smile vanished. She asked with a hint of fear in her eyes, "Twelve, I still had my morals last night, right?"

Feng Huaijin gulped down a mouthful of plain porridge.

"Yes! It's here! It's not lost!"

But if he gets back late, things might change.

Feng Huaijin thought bitterly to himself.

Yesterday, that woman was so close to her brother, she almost kissed his ear.

Damn it, he hasn't even kissed her yet.

But that energy quickly dissipated.

He probably didn't have the chance to kiss her.

After all, he's just a younger brother.

He has figured out his own feelings.

Last night's dream, and the strange feeling in his body when he woke up, left him no choice but to stop deceiving himself.

Luckily, I always wake up early in the morning and managed to tidy up the sheets in time so my brother wouldn't see them.

The red mole on his inner ankle was haunting him again.

Feng Huaijin ate quickly, and after finishing, he took his bowl and chopsticks to the small kitchen. When he returned, he said to Su Yu, who was somewhat surprised, "I'm done eating. I'm going to the meditation room now. Just leave it there, brother. I'll clean it up."

“…Okay.” Su Yu hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

Twelve is indeed a bit stranger.

Was it because of awakened bloodline before, and is it still the same now?

We'd better find some medicine quickly.
