Chapter 51
Hearing this, Lu Xiaobai finally smiled, but still nodded pretending to be unhappy: "Okay, then, let's go home. You carry me back. I'm tired."
In fact, he was scared. He Qin was so scary when he was angry, and Lu Xiaobai couldn't help but feel scared.
Hearing Lu Xiaobai's words, He Qin turned around helplessly, squatted slightly and said, "Come on, I'll carry you back."
Lu Xiaobai was just talking at first, but he didn't expect He Qin to actually squat down and carry him on his back. He jumped over happily, and then was carried on He Qin's back by grabbing his thighs.
He Zhou was so anxious that he was running around in circles at home. He stood at the gate and kept looking outside: "Why hasn't he come back yet? Could something have happened?"
Lingyi and the others were also looking around. After all, the news from the countryside was difficult to come by. Besides caring about their master, they were just bored and wanted to watch some melons.
Just when they were extremely worried, He Qin came back.
He Qin came back carrying Lu Xiaobai.
Lu Xiaobai lay exhausted on He Qin's back, pouting with a mixture of happiness and sadness. Until he saw He Zhou at the door, he hurriedly said, "Stop, stop, stop. I want to get off."
As soon as He Qin stopped, Lu Xiaobai jumped down and ran directly towards He Zhou.
He Zhou was still immersed in the surprise that his brother was actually carrying Lu Xiaobai. He pointed at Lu Xiaobai and said, "You, you actually let my brother carry you, my brother carried you?"
Lu Xiaobai walked over, thinking about the misunderstanding he had made before, and wanted to apologize to him, and at the same time ask him some questions to see if his name was really He Zhou, and to see if He Qin had lied to him.
"Isn't it right for him to carry me? Is your last name He?"
He Zhou was almost shocked by Lu Xiaobai's words. He nodded and said, "Of course my last name is He. Also, you can't let my brother carry you. What if he gets upset and loses his temper?"
"Why?"
He Qin is his husband, isn't it normal for him to carry her on his back?
If He Qin is unhappy, the worst that can happen is that he will carry He Qin on his back.
As soon as Lu Xiaobai finished asking, He Qin came over.
So He Zhou saw his brother's dirty and sticky chest, and immediately asked with disgust: "Brother, what's wrong with your chest? It's so dirty!"
He Qin then lowered his head, looked at his clothes covered with transparent snot, and subconsciously looked at Lu Xiaobai.
Lu Xiaobai turned his head away guiltily, and while their attention was on He Qin's clothes, he sneaked into the room.
He Qin couldn't help but smile when he saw him leaving, and then followed him.
He Zhou watched the silent interaction between the two, followed behind He Qin in surprise, and whispered: "When did my brother become so gentle?"
Hearing this, He Qin turned around, looked at him and said, "Call me brother."
"Oh, okay."
He Zhou nodded immediately and smiled obediently.
After He Qin finished instructing his brother, he turned and went into the room. Lu Xiaobai was stunned beside the cabinet, standing there stupidly, holding the things in his hands and instantly putting them behind his back.
Seeing He Qin coming in, Lu Xiaobai lowered his head, took a step back in panic and asked: "You, you come to change clothes?"
He Qin raised his eyebrows: "Are you helping me find clothes?"
It goes without saying that the clothes and other things were made by Lu Xiaobai.
He Qin also felt a little disgusted at first, but seeing Lu Xiaobai was so active in helping him find clothes to make up for the loss, he let it go and didn't bother with him.
Hearing this question, Lu Xiaobai wanted to nod, but when he touched the thing in his hand, he felt that he could not nod, otherwise He Qin would find out, which would not be good.
So, Lu Xiaobai stood there without moving and did not answer him.
He Qin suddenly stepped forward, grabbed his hand and pulled it over to look, and found that he had no clothes in his hand, but two pieces of candy.
Taking advantage of the moment when He Qin was stunned looking at Tang, Lu Xiaobai suddenly withdrew his hand and said with a frown: "You, why are you always like this? Can't you tell me in advance what you want to do?"
Wouldn't it be nice if I told you in advance so you could be prepared?
Although it wasn't clothes, He Qin wasn't angry. Instead, he wanted to laugh. He suppressed his laughter and grabbed Lu Xiaobai's hand again, whispering, "You stole my candy."
Lu Xiaobai's face flushed instantly, and he said weakly: "I didn't..."
"This, this is what Brother Lingyi gave me. You took two of them today, so I just asked you to compensate me."
He Qin sneered: "I always thought you didn't know I bought candy. Even if I felt that there were fewer candies, I didn't suspect you. I didn't expect that you were the one who was secretly eating them."
Lu Xiaobai remembered that afternoon when he accidentally found some candy in the cabinet and couldn't help but eat a piece. It was just one piece, so it wasn't considered stealing.
"I said I didn't, and you're talking nonsense again!"
After Lu Xiaobai finished speaking, he pushed He Qin away, clutched the candy tightly, and ran out with a red face.
He Qin looked at his back and said in a deep voice: "Eat less sugar!"
Lu Xiaobai didn't care about him and rushed out of the room with the candy, pouting and saying dissatisfiedly: "Why do you give candy to He Zhou but not to me? I want to eat it!"
Lu Xiaobai felt something was wrong after he finished speaking. He turned around and saw He Zhou standing next to him. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Brother Xiaobai, I gave you candy because I've never eaten this before."
He had never left the palace before. Only his elder brother would bring him some snacks and gadgets from the imperial city when he left the palace. He had never seen those rare items outside the imperial city.
This was also his first time going out, and it was his third royal brother who came to protect him. However, his third royal brother was too embarrassed to see He Qin, so he left after sending him here.
He is He Qin's most beloved brother, so He Qin gave him candy.
Lu Xiaobai didn't know the deep meaning behind He Zhou's actions, and didn't think much about it. He just said, "Well, I haven't eaten it before. Why didn't he give it to me? He bought the candy and hid it secretly. It's not kind."
Seeing Lu Xiaobai stuffing candy into his mouth without caring about anything, with a cute little bump on his cheek, even He Zhou found it adorable. He pulled him aside and asked quietly, "I heard that you always make my brother angry. Aren't you afraid that he will be mean to you?"
Hearing this question, Lu Xiaobai recalled the past scenes, slurred his sugar and said vaguely: "Although He Qin looks scary when he loses his temper, he's actually not that bad."
And what does it mean that he is always angry with He Qin? It is obviously He Qin who always bullies him, so why should he be angry?
Lu Xiaobai looked at He Zhou in confusion and asked, "Where did you hear that I was angry with your brother? It was obviously your brother who bullied me."
He Zhou became interested, and the two of them sat on a stool in the corner and asked, "How did I bully you?"
"How else can you bully your brother?"
Lu Xiaobai felt like he and He Zhou hit it off right away, and the two of them sat in the corner and complained about He Qin together.
Lu Xiaobai said that he had a bad complexion, a bad temper, and liked to bully others.
He Zhou said that he was autocratic and overbearing, and did things without leaving any room for maneuver. He had always taught his younger siblings a lesson, making them cry, and never gave them any face.
The two talked happily, and even when He Qin brought rice to Lu Xiaobai, Lu Xiaobai refused: "I'm not hungry."
He Qin's face immediately fell: "You didn't eat breakfast or lunch, and you told me you weren't hungry?"
Lu Xiaobai nodded: "I have candy, I'm not hungry."
Even if you are too hungry before you get hungry, when you are too hungry you don’t feel hungry anymore.
Besides, he now has snacks and someone to chat with, so he doesn't want to eat at all.
He had been in the countryside for so long, and this was the first time he met someone who could talk like that. He was very happy and even took out one of his treasured pomeloes, cut it in half and shared it with He Zhou.
He Qin watched Lu Xiaobai chatting happily with his brother, and a sense of resentment gradually rose in his heart.
At night, the tent built by Lingyi and the others was completed, but no one went to sleep in it. Instead, a small bed that Lu Xiaobai estimated to be about 1.2 meters wide was moved into Lu Xiaobai's room.
A row of wooden screens was placed in the middle of the room, dividing the room into two parts.
He Qin said to He Zhou, "You sleep with Xiaobai at night. I'll sleep outside. Call me if you need anything."
He Zhou nodded obediently: "Okay, thank you brother."
After He Qin finished speaking, he lay down on the small bed behind the screen.
He Zhou was so happy that he grabbed Lu Xiaobai and wanted to whisper something to him. After all, he had no close friends and had never slept in the same bed with anyone because of his identity.
It was his first time sleeping with someone, and the other person was his sister-in-law, so he was particularly excited.
But Lu Xiaobai was not very happy, because after traveling here for so long, it was the first time he slept separately from He Qin, and he was a little uncomfortable.
But seeing He Zhou's curious look, he asked curiously, "Why are you so happy? Are you bullied at home and you feel happier when you come out?"
He Zhou pulled Lu Xiaobai and whispered in his ear, "Brother Xiaobai, I'll tell you in secret. I'm actually very fierce at home too. Brother He Qin is the fiercest, but he's reasonable, so he's still a good person. But I'm the type who doesn't even reason. No one will bully me. Come home with us from now on. When Brother He Qin is not around, I'll protect you."
In fact, Lu Xiaobai was not used to hearing He Zhou calling He Qin "Brother" with both his full name, but He Zhou said that there were many brothers and sisters in their family and it would be difficult to tell them apart without calling them by their names.
In fact, it was He Qin who told He Zhou to call him that, but he couldn't betray his brother, so he couldn't say it.
When Lu Xiaobai heard what He Zhou said, the only words in his mind were He Qin. After a long pause, he said, "I want to sleep with your brother."
He Zhou: ...
So he was disliked, right?
He curled his lips, raised his finger and pointed at the screen and said, "Then go ahead~"
Lu Xiaobai sat up instantly, hugged his pillow and said, "Then I'll go. Are you afraid of sleeping alone?"
He Zhou shook his head: "I'm not afraid."
He has been used to sleeping alone since he was a child. He is not afraid of being alone in the empty palace, not to mention that his brother and sister-in-law are still outside. What is there to be afraid of?
When Lu Xiaobai heard him say he was not afraid, he immediately got out of bed holding his pillow and said as he walked, "Then I'll go."
He Qin, who was listening to the conversation between the two behind the screen, had a smile on his face, but when he felt Lu Xiaobai coming over, he pretended to be asleep and didn't notice him coming.
Lu Xiaobai stood in front of the small bed, bent down and looked at He Qin in the dim light in the room, carefully placed the pillow next to He Qin's head, then lifted the quilt and squeezed into the bed.
He Qin finally opened his eyes and met Lu Xiaobai's shining eyes: "What are you doing?"
