Chapter 13: An Eldest Brother is Like a Father



Seeing that Lu Yuxuan didn't say anything, Xiaobao thought that he was angry because he was woken up by him, so he closed his eyes and kowtowed to him again.

This time Lu Yuxuan was completely confused.

"Well...Xiaobao" Lu Yuxuan said blankly, "Pinch me"

"Ah? Okay."

Although Xiaobao didn't understand, he still did as he was told.

"Huh? It hurts?" Lu Yuxuan was surprised for a moment, "I'm not dead?"

Xiao Bao was speechless: "Fifth Brother, why do you think so?"

"Then why did you get up so early in the morning to kowtow to me?" Lu Yuxuan looked innocent. "I thought I was gone, and my soul was floating here..."

Xiaobao couldn't help but admire his amazing imagination.

Then he adjusted his sitting position and pointed out the window: "I just saw my third brother folding, so I tried to imitate him, but it was so difficult. After I lifted my legs, I couldn't stand steadily, so I accidentally fell on my fifth brother."

"Folding?" Lu Yuxuan glanced towards the yard after hearing this and immediately laughed, "No, Xiaobao, Third Brother is stretching his legs. He practices it every day to improve his flexibility."

"But won't it hurt, Third Brother?" Xiao Bao asked worriedly and curiously, "I just stretched it a little bit and it hurts."

"That's because we haven't practiced, so our muscles are stiff." Lu Yuxuan yawned. "Third brother has been bending his arms and legs since he was a child, so he has trained them. Although he hasn't practiced for several years, it shouldn't be difficult for him to pick it up now."

After hearing what he said, Xiaobao had even more questions, but seeing that his eyelids were drooping after he lay back down, he decided to go to the yard and ask the person himself.

Xiaobao considerately pulled the thin blanket on Lu Yuxuan to make sure it covered his belly, then he kicked off the bed with his little legs and tiptoed out of the room.

As soon as I opened the door to the living room, I heard Lu Jiayang humming a tune in the yard. Although the voice was not loud and there were no lyrics, the timbre and tune alone made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

Xiaobao inexplicably stopped at the door and looked at him for a long time, as if he didn't want to interrupt this beautiful voice, and listened quietly.

In the end, it was Lu Jiayang who discovered him first.

"Baby, you're up!" Lu Jiayang said with a smile, "Why are you just standing there without saying anything?"

"I was listening to Third Brother singing, and I was so engrossed in it that I didn't realize it." Xiao Bao saw him put down his legs and stand towards him, and quickly waved his hand, "It's okay, Third Brother, you practice yours, I'll just watch from the side, and I won't disturb you at all."

Seeing him being so cautious, afraid of causing trouble to others, Lu Jiayang felt sad and uncomfortable, but he did not show it on his face. He still smiled and opened his arms to him.

"What are you talking about, little idiot? You are my number one priority here. My first priority right now is to accompany you. How can I leave you alone? Or do you not want your third brother to accompany you?"

"No!" Xiaobao shook his head quickly, "I really like Third Brother!"

Hearing this, Lu Jiayang's smile grew even wider, and he straightened up. "Then why don't you come over here and let Third Brother hug you? I've been here for a minute."

Xiaobao laughed, but with his short legs he took big strides as he ran towards Lu Jiayang and fell into his arms accurately.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Lu Jiayang looked down at him lovingly. "Yuxuan wasn't a good sleeper. Did he kick you or something?"

"No," Xiaobao hugged his waist and said in a milky voice, "Fifth brother seemed to have hardly moved all night, and was holding me the whole time."

Lu Jiayang: I’m suddenly so jealous, what’s with that Fatty Si!!!

"Oh, Third Brother," Xiao Bao released his hand and blinked as he looked towards the master bedroom. "Where are Big Brother and Second Brother? Aren't they up yet?"

"They went to school a long time ago," Lu Jiayang said, "because they are about to be seniors in high school, and the main thing is that they have a late holiday and start school early."

"But my brother has already prepared breakfast. I'll wake them up and we can just eat."

"So, what time do big brother and second brother get out of school?" Xiaobao's eyes were full of anticipation. "Can we have dinner together tonight?"

Lu Jiayang was choked for a moment by his bright eyes. He didn't want to disappoint Xiaobao, but it was necessary to let him know about this kind of situation that happened frequently in their family.

"Xiaobao, if your second brother doesn't go to the library tonight, he should be home around 6:30, but your eldest brother will be a little later because he has a tutoring class after school and has to go to tutor junior high school students."

Lu Jiayang paused and added, "But it won't be too late, baby. Big brother will definitely be back before you go to bed, and you can still talk to him."

He knew that Xiaobao had just returned home, and the loneliness and solitude that had accumulated for such a long time would not disappear all at once. If he wanted him to truly let go of the painful memories and integrate into the family, the best medicine was for them, his brothers, to spend more time with him.

But their family situation is destined not to be as peaceful as that of ordinary families.

Xiaobao's head slowly lowered, and Lu Jiayang's heart skipped a beat. He quickly said, "Don't be sad, baby. Big brother is just too busy with school and work. After all, the burden of supporting the family falls on him, so he always leaves early and comes back late."

"But you still have us. We are on summer vacation now. We can accompany you every day when we are free. Big brother is not busy every day. When he is resting, we can go out and play together."
