The surface of the crimson summoning stone was very smooth. Zhao Zhao touched the stone in his hand and passed by the royal palace garden.

Behind the layers of flowers is Xiyan who is taking a break.

He was still radiant in his purple robe, and his narrow eyes curved gently when he saw Zhao Zhao: "Little one, baby~"

"Is this direction you are heading to Master Yue Feng's room?" His purple eyes flickered slightly, and there was no unnecessary emotion on his face.

"Um."

The white-haired boy spoke in a soft voice. Looking through the flowers at the clear and delicate face, Xiyan felt a tenderness in his heart.

He has always known about Yue and Ye's feelings for Zhao Zhao.

"I'm going to find Lord Ye Feng."

Zhao Zhao nodded slightly at him, and Xi Yan quickly called out to the young man's thin back, "If you have nothing to do later, remember to come and help me with something, little one!"

As the chief elder of the tribe, he was busy from dawn to dusk every day, and he was exhausted.

"good."

Zhao Zhao responded.

When he was a child, Ye liked to sleep in, but since he became the Phoenix Master, he has become the most hardworking phoenix in the Phoenix clan.

He didn't expect that Ye, the mischievous younger brother, would eventually become a more stable Phoenix Lord than his brother Yue.

When I rushed to the study, Ye, standing tall and straight in a black and gold robe, was already handling government affairs.

As soon as Zhao Zhao entered the door, Ye raised his head.

A smile immediately appeared on his handsome face: "But did you bring the summoning stone?"

Zhao Zhao also curled her lips slightly and smiled at him: "Yeah."

Two slender fingers pinched the ruby-red stone, creating a sharp contrast in color.

For a moment, Ye didn't know whether to look at Ruyu's hand or the summoning stone he was thinking about.

He was slightly stunned, and Zhao Zhao had already placed the stone on his desk.

The familiar and unpleasant scent of the boy lingered on my nose.

Ye Fangrou's brows suddenly turned cold, his fingers clenched tightly under the table. He gritted his teeth and said word by word: "You didn't stay with Yue the whole time last night, did you?"

Ye had only smelled this kind of fragrance on Yue.

The young man asked in a tone that made Zhao Zhao stunned.

At this moment, he stood in front of Ye and saw the proud Lord Feng with his head lowered. From his perspective, he looked aggrieved and pitiful.

Thinking of Ye's questioning last night, he whispered, "Yue pestered me last night, so I sat at the table and read storybooks to him all night."

"Read a storybook?" Ye Hengheng raised his head, frowning and looking a little fierce: "Is he still a newborn cub?! He still needs you to read a storybook when he's this old?!"

"Troublemaker!!!"

Ye angrily picked up the summoning stone on the table and stuffed it into his arms, then suddenly rushed towards Zhao Zhao and hugged him.

"You smell like Yue all over you! Do you know how disgusting it is!!!"

Recently, Ye and his physical contact has become more and more intimate, and the furry head on his neck is rubbing against him gently.

Zhao Zhao's hand, which was about to push away, suddenly stopped.

He knew that Yue and Ye were very dependent on him.

Thinking of the limited time he had, he didn't push him away again. Instead, he put his hand on his head and patted him gently: "Did you do what you promised me yesterday?"

"Hmm?" Ye looked up in a daze, his red eyes meeting those indifferent eyes.

They were very close, and Ye felt dizzy: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Zhao sighed: "How is the injury? Have you gone to see the Second Elder for treatment?"

I still remember clearly the fight between the two Phoenix Lords yesterday.

The number of fights between the two brothers in recent years has been much less than when they were children, and compared with the bad relationship described in the plot, it has been much more peaceful.

But there are still a lot of frictions on a daily basis. The two of them still dislike each other. They have to curse at each other when they meet. Sometimes when they get angry, they will fight, just like yesterday.

Ye said in a muffled tone: "I found it."

"I'm much better." He is now in great spirits and even has the strength to fight with Yue again. He is confident that he will be able to defeat him this time.

Thinking this in his mind, he couldn't help but reveal a wicked smile on his face.

Zhao Zhao silently looked at the handsome face of the young man, who couldn't hide his thoughts, and said helplessly: "Master Ye Feng should know that I have always hoped that the relationship between you two would ease."

"The two Phoenix Lords should join hands to protect the Phoenix Clan instead of treating each other as thorns in their eyes."

It was probably because Ye had put down his pride and was leaning on him, so Zhao Zhao's filter for him came into play again.

He raised his hand and tapped Ye's forehead, his tone calm but gentle: "Did you hear me? I've told you countless times, but you still haven't changed."

Ye covered his head, his eyes getting brighter and brighter: "I heard it."

“You shouldn’t just listen with your ears, you should actively listen with your heart.”

Under his guidance, Yue no longer takes the initiative to attack Ye.

But Ye is different. He is impatient and his advice goes in one ear and out the other. When he has conflicts with Yue, he often resolves them with his fists.

Suddenly someone rubbed his head, and Ye straightened up and stopped hanging on him.

Ye, who was already much taller than Zhao Zhao, looked at the boy with a patience he had never had before: "It's really unfair. I have always listened carefully to what you said."

For example, regarding the matter between him and Yue, if he had not followed Zhao Zhao's teachings, that brat would have been beaten to death by him long ago.

Yue, on the other hand, relied on her mental strength and the damage was not visible on the surface, so she showed him no mercy.

He snorted and sat back in his seat with a breath held in his heart.

"There's nothing for you to do here, go back and rest." He said in a low voice.

When Zhao Zhao walked out the door, he heard the muffled sound of someone pounding the table behind him.

He paused.

Will Ye’s hand get hurt if he uses so much force?

His handsome brows wrinkled slightly, he turned around, hesitated for a moment and stopped again.

With a cold expression on his face, he walked out without hesitation.

In the study, the young man pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside. When he realized that Zhao Zhao was really gone, he lay on the table uncomfortably, shaking his head.

He really doesn't know how to talk. He clearly wants Zhao Zhao to stay with him.

As a result, now whenever he thinks about Zhao Zhao leaving him to find Yue, and then alienating herself from him under the instigation of Green Tea Yue, he feels very uncomfortable.

"Dead mouth!"

Ye slapped himself on the face, and a few strands of hair on his head stood up.

Confused and aggrieved.

Finally, he touched the summoning stone in his arms and couldn't help it.

The next second, Zhao Zhao, who had already arrived in front of Xi Yan, closed his eyes and the scene in front of him changed to the familiar study.

"Zhao Zhao."

Ye grabbed his wrist and pulled him to sit next to him.

He was startled and tried to stand up immediately, but was held down again.

The boy was particularly clingy: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have chased you away just now."

"Stay with me for a while."

"You spent the whole night with Yue, so why don't you stay with me for a while now~"

Ye apologized, spoke softly and acted like a spoiled child, a scene that hadn't been seen for many years.

"Okay." Zhao Zhao agreed.

He frowned and wanted to stand up: "Let go!" This was not the place for him to sit.

Ye frowned subconsciously, but when he thought of the person he was facing, he controlled his emotions and relaxed: "Okay, okay, I'll let you go as long as you don't leave."

Zhao Zhao waved his hand away, straightened her sleeves and stood beside him.

He said calmly, "I'll help you grind the ink."
