Lu Zixiao pinched his brows and said in a trembling voice, "I feel like a complete failure. I said I would take care of every one of them, but I still unknowingly overlooked one of them."
Lin Ze looked at him distressedly as he poured himself one cup after another, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Zixiao, drink slowly..."
Lu Zixiao raised his head, his cold, red eyes staring at him. He said to himself, "Lin Ze, if I'm really a good brother, then why doesn't my brother want to tell me when he's so sad? Doesn't he trust me to protect him?"
"No, Zixiao, I can tell you responsibly that Yuxuan definitely doesn't think so."
This was the first time that Lin Ze saw his lover being so stubborn, but at the same time he could understand Lu Zixiao's inner pain.
So he tried his best to suppress the pity that lingered in his heart, and comforted him slowly and calmly: "Zixiao, I think you should also know that although Yuxuan jumps around like a monkey all day long, he is actually very thoughtful. He is not a child who only knows how to eat and play."
"Regarding the corporal punishment, he probably kept it a secret because he was afraid you would be sad and blame yourself. Then, after a week of remedial classes, he'd act like a spoiled brat and whine and beg you as usual. Finally, naturally, you wouldn't go to remedial classes, and the matter would be over."
Lu Zixiao's blurred eyes gradually focused, he blinked slowly twice, then frowned, thinking seriously about what Lin Ze said.
"It's not that he doesn't trust you, nor does it mean you're not a good brother." Lin Ze immediately pressed the issue, "On the contrary, it's precisely because you're a good brother that they think of you in the same way, and even use their own methods to protect you."
"But..." Lu Zixiao paused, frowning, "But they weren't like this before..."
Lin Ze sighed lightly, reached out and snatched the bottle of wine from his hand, and said: "That's because they have grown up."
Lu Zixiao uttered an "oh" and said sullenly, "I've grown up and can handle things on my own. I don't need a big brother like you anymore."
Lin Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How is that possible? Ever since Xiaobao came home, even I can see that each of them is trying hard to be a good brother or a good brother."
At this moment, Lu Zixiao was already a little drunk. He looked at him eagerly, then nodded as if waking up from a dream.
Lin Ze was suddenly touched by his cuteness. He smiled and kissed his cheek, saying softly, "Don't worry, even though they have grown up, they love you even more."
