"Big brother~"
Xiaobao crawled out from Lu Ziyi's arms. Perhaps it was the blessing of the lollipop, his already sweet voice became even sweeter. The sound of his voice was so tortuous that the tense and serious atmosphere faded away for a moment.
"Oh, baby, how can your voice be so sweet?" Lu Jiayang covered his chest and said, "My heart melted."
"It sounds good! I love it!" Lu Jiaming laughed, "It's so sweet, even a man like me almost gets breast milk after hearing it."
Lu Ziyi paused as he was sorting the bags and chuckled, "You're quite impressive! We don't need to order milk anymore."
"Let's forget it," Lu Jiayang said, "I'm afraid the male's milk is smelly."
"Fuck you!" Lu Jiaming laughed and punched him. "You're just calling me names in a new way, right?"
Lu Zixiao ignored their playfulness and focused all his attention on the little guy running towards him. He squatted down and caught the little missile that smelled of milk.
"Big brother, please don't be angry, okay?" Xiaobao looked at him eagerly, "Big brother and second brother haven't been home all day, Xiaobao missed you so much"
"Yeah, I miss Xiaobao too."
Lu Zixiao patted his back gently, but his tone was still gentle with a hint of seriousness, "Don't play around with them in the future, do you hear me? Always pay attention to your own safety."
"Brother, what are you saying?" Lu Jiaming said embarrassedly, "We will definitely protect Xiaobao, you said it as if we would hurt him."
Lu Zixiao tilted his head slightly, his eyes instantly turned cold, and he glared at him.
"Okay, okay," Lu Jiaming turned around and said, "I'll shut up."
Xiao Bao hugged Lu Zixiao's arm and shook it twice, pouting like a spoiled child, "I was wrong, big brother. I promise to listen to you from now on. Don't be angry, okay~"
"Yeah," Lu Zixiao raised a faint smile, "I believe Xiaobao"
Xiaobao smiled and hugged his neck, buried his little head in his neck and rubbed it, then whispered: "Big brother, I also want to tell you something"
Lu Zixiao held him up and looked down at him: "Well, go ahead and talk. I'm listening."
"I know big brother loves me and doesn't want me to get hurt again after returning home." Xiao Bao put away his smile, his bright eyes full of determination, "But big brother, don't forget, I am also a man. Although I am a little smaller than you, I am very strong."
"Before I was away from home, I had never been knocked down. Now that I'm back, even if I fall, I will get up again."
"So brothers, don't worry too much about me. We have to advance and retreat together from now on, right? You have to trust me."
His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear it clearly.
There is no doubt that they love Xiaobao from the bottom of their hearts, but when they think of how much suffering the little guy has suffered outside, they want to make up for it desperately.
But they didn't know where to start to show their love, so they cast a wide net and paid attention to everything, worried that Xiaobao didn't have enough to eat, didn't sleep well, was bored and lonely, and was injured or in pain.
So much so that they all overlooked how brave Xiaobao was when he escaped from danger. He was a strong and fearless child.
Grandpa Li laughed heartily with relief. "You brothers, you never expected that Xiaobao would teach you a lesson. He taught you to look down on others. Now you're speechless, aren't you?"
"You old man really enjoys other people's misfortunes," Lu Jiayang shook his head and chuckled. "I don't know who saw Xiaobao about to fall off the chair, and threw away the crutches in a hurry."
Grandpa Li raised his cane and was about to hit him, but he dodged and snorted, "I still have to protect you when I need to, but that doesn't stop me from believing that Xiaobao is a strong child."
"That's true." Lu Jiaming raised his eyebrows, his smile growing wider. "Our family has always been one where the younger generation surpasses the older generation. We've never had any cowards. Even when my second brother broke his arm, he didn't shed a single tear."
"...You can't get over that, right?" Lu Ziyi looked at him with his arms folded.
Lu Jiaming scratched his head: "I just suddenly remembered it again. Isn't it good to be a positive example?"
"I think Xiaobao is right!" Lu Yuxuan jumped up and said, "Xiaobao, let's push the old wave out like the new in the Yangtze River and beat them all to death on the beach!"
"Put away those ugly underwear of yours!" Lu Zixiao said in a deep voice. "If I find out that you're bringing your whole family to such trouble over them again, I'll slam you against the wall so hard that I can't even button you off!"
“…I got it.” Lu Yuxuan immediately backed off.
"Xiaobao," Lu Zixiao's expression softened again. "What you just said makes me very happy. I also trust you. So, we will fold our wings a little and not be so airtight. But we will still protect you, because you were born to be loved by us, and this will never change."
"Okay," Xiaobao nodded seriously.
At this time, a loud cell phone ringtone rang out. It was obvious who this earthy ringtone exclusive to old phones belonged to. They all looked at Grandpa Li at the same time.
The old man's movements were not very agile, and could even be said to be quite slow. Seeing this, Xiaobao and others wanted to help him take it out.
By the time he finally got the phone in his hand, the ringing had long stopped.
Lu Jiaming sighed: "Grandpa Li, the speed at which you answer the phone is so fast that it would take a carrier pigeon to send a letter back and forth."
"Get lost!" Grandpa Li scolded him angrily, "It was your Grandma Li who called. The food must be ready. If you want to eat, hurry up and leave. If you're late, you won't get any. I'll give it all to Xiaobao, humph!"
