What bad intentions could a dumpling possibly have?
"If you can't recite it, then behave yourself and listen to your second brother's teachings." Yuanshi calmly returned to the futon, a slight smile playing on his lips, clearly pleased.
Hahahaha, third brother, are you dumbfounded? I can't handle you, can I? Even if you don't understand, you still have to listen. I'll have to consider the lessons I gave you later. If I find out you're not keeping up, don't blame me for being ruthless... Hmm.
Tongtian was stunned, staring blankly at the scroll that was even bigger than him, his eyes gradually reddening. "Second brother, second brother is so mean!"
My eldest brother is the best. He only lets me sleep in his arms, and when I'm done sleeping, he gives me candy pills. He never makes me listen to sermons or recite texts. My second brother is definitely a big bad guy, a super big bad guy!!! Humph!
"Oh, still not convinced? Tongtian, you need to understand, it was your eldest brother who personally entrusted you to my care, so everything your second brother is doing now is also your eldest brother's intention! Your eldest brother doesn't want you to be too undisciplined, understand? To put it another way, you're now in your second brother's hands, and if you don't listen to the lessons properly, your second brother won't show any mercy!" Yuanshi said seriously.
"Second brother, but eldest brother also said that we can only believe a little bit of what you say~" The cub pointed to the tiny gap at the tip of his little finger and glanced uneasily at his second brother's gloomy face.
"Hmph, don't worry about what your elder brother says, nine out of ten of his sentences are about me... Tongtian, listen to your second brother's advice, don't get too close to your elder brother!" Yuanshi was speechless. This was outrageous, utterly outrageous! Elder brother, is this how you teach your younger brother? What if you really corrupt him? You'll have nowhere to cry!
Tongtian Little Rascal: "???" He pondered for a long time in confusion. Since his eldest brother said that his second brother's words could not be trusted, and his second brother said not to get too close to his eldest brother... then he should just ignore both of his brothers' words, right?
"Why aren't you sitting properly? I'll explain the Dao to you again. Ask me anything you don't understand." I just don't believe it. How could my third brother, with his talent, not understand the Dao? He's clearly just lazy! A jade must be carved to become a useful object. As his elder brother, it's my duty to discipline him properly.
"Second Brother~ Can you not carry this on your back?" The little Tongtian sneaked behind his second brother, Yuanshi, diligently massaging his shoulders and back. Despite his small size, Tongtian was surprisingly strong, and his gentle touch pleased Yuanshi, who was naturally pleased with his younger brother's affection and flattery, his face beaming with pride. The little Tongtian then whispered various compliments to Yuanshi, making him blush and feel completely carried away. Suddenly, he snapped back to reality, realizing he couldn't let his little brother's sweet talk fool him. Absolutely not! He quickly grabbed the little boy's hand: "Little one, trying to curry favor with your second brother like last time to avoid your homework? No way!"
The little brat Tongtian was startled. His thoughts had been exposed, and he quickly laughed awkwardly, saying no, it was just that he felt bad seeing his second brother working so hard preaching to him, his old arms and legs were worn out, and he wanted to help his second brother Yuanshi relax. He had no other intentions (yeah right!).
“Tongtian has become sensible, so good~ But no matter how much you try to please your second brother, it won’t work. Your second brother is doing this for your own good, my child. Do you understand your second brother’s good intentions?” Yuanshi sighed.
Tongtian, the little brat, didn't understand and didn't want to understand. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible. His second brother, Yuanshi, who was facing him, didn't care whether the brat could understand or not. He just kept talking and talking, without stopping. Tongtian was suffering terribly. He couldn't disrespect his brother, and he couldn't doze off. It was incredibly agonizing. QAQ
Since Second Brother doesn't buy into this, then I... The little brat's bright eyes darted around, a hint of cunning in them.
"Be good, sit still." Yuan Shi picked up the slightly upset little cub and put him back on his futon. Unexpectedly, the little cub suddenly struggled and clung tightly to his second brother. Yuan Shi frowned, looked at his crying younger brother, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
"Second brother, I don't want to! I don't want to be separated from you!" With a sob in his voice, Yuan Shi, who was about to cruelly pull his younger brother away from his arms, froze.
Tongtian the little brat secretly glanced at his second brother and, sure enough, saw hesitation in his eyes. He immediately realized that his chance had come.
"Second Brother! Please hug me, Second Brother. Tongtian hasn't slept in your arms for so long, I miss it so much... Second Brother! Please hug me~" Little Tongtian whimpered, looking like he was about to cry, which was really heartbreaking. His bright and clear eyes were filled with helplessness.
Even though she knew her younger brother was just pretending, even though she could see right through his self-proclaimed superb acting, she just couldn't bring herself to punish him. That little rascal! He always knew how to manipulate her! Oh well, he's still just...
Yuanshi sighed helplessly, a gentle smile appearing in his eyes. He affectionately pinched Tongtian's cheek and coaxed, "Alright, alright, whatever you say~"
The little boy, Tongtian, immediately cheered and jumped for joy, thrashing about in his second brother's broad arms. Yuanshi quickly caught his younger brother, who was about to fall to the ground, feeling both amused and exasperated.
Look how happy he is! He's still got a childlike heart! But seeing him so happy makes me feel really good too.
"Thank you, Second Brother! Tongtian loves you the most, Second Brother~ Mwah~" Tongtian kissed his Second Brother in excitement. Little Tongtian, unaware that this kiss would trigger a fierce battle between his two older brothers over their younger brother, was still happily wriggling in his Second Brother's arms.
Yuanshi's eyes widened in astonishment, a profound and indescribable emotion stirring within him. He stood there, stunned for a long time, then touched the spot where his third brother had kissed him. The touch was incredibly light, like a feather gently brushing against his most sensitive spot—a touch that left no trace, yet felt as heavy as Mount Tai. Even his Dao heart, cultivated for tens of thousands of years, couldn't help but tremble slightly. Unconsciously, a smile spread across his face, and he could no longer contain his overwhelming joy. He telepathically communicated with his eldest brother, who was meditating: "Eldest brother, third brother, third brother kissed me!!!"
Taiqing: "!!!" He almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He opened his eyes in surprise and shock, filled with grief and indignation.
"Impossible! My third brother is clearly closer to me, his eldest brother. How could this be? My third brother... he's never kissed me!!!"
The eldest brother's outburst and indignation nearly made Yuanshi laugh to death. "Hahaha, eldest brother, you've finally met your match? Serves you right for always trying to sow discord between me and my younger brother! In the end, it's me, the second brother, who has the upper hand! The third brother is clearly the one I'm closer to, it's me, it's me, Yuanshi!!!" Hahaha, Yuanshi, who had successfully turned the tables, was in high spirits. Tongtian, the little brat, looked at his second brother Yuanshi, who was even happier than him, and his lips twitched slightly…
Second brother, sometimes you seem a little unfamiliar to me, why is that? What are you laughing at?
"Tongtian, what are you looking at so intently?" Yuanshi was in a great mood and generously ruffled his younger brother's hair. The younger brother couldn't break free and could only numbly let his second brother do as he pleased. When he let go, the younger brother's hair was all messed up, and he glared at him with a resentful look, looking all wronged. He was incredibly cute... Looking at the puffed-up little dumpling, he immediately burst into laughter.
Tongtian: "..." Oh no, what happened to Second Brother? This is terrifying! Suddenly I feel like I'm back to normal, I can understand what Second Brother is saying! Can you put me down? Second Brother? Let's talk this out! Okay, okay, talk to me!!!
Suddenly lifted into the air, Tongtian looked bewildered, glancing left and right but seeing nothing. When he turned around, he was instantly stunned… The Second Brother Yuanshi's eyes gleamed with an incredibly “benevolent” look, while his face was filled with simmering, malicious intent. Seeing his brother's handsome face drawing ever closer, the cub blushed and screamed, “Second Brother, I was wrong! I was wrong, please don't… please don't!!!”
Yuan Shi stopped pouting in surprise and flicked the cub's forehead in confusion. What's wrong with the little brother? Doesn't he like kisses, hugs, and being lifted up high? He used to interact with his two older brothers like this when he was still a little dumpling and couldn't even walk steadily. Why won't he do it now?
Oh, I get it, I get it, he's shy~ This little guy is so shy, a kiss from him will make him blush for ages. I don't know why he gets shy so easily?
Yuanshi, with a look of profound accomplishment, winked at his younger brother, who was "shy" and about to explode, indicating that he understood, but the proper ceremony still had to be performed.
What? What ceremony? How come I don't know? Second brother, second brother, calm down! I am Tongtian, second brother!!! Tuanzi was forcibly pressed down, his pupils trembling wildly, his handsome face full of despair... After a chaotic scene, Tuanzi looked as if he had been abused, with no will to live.
Oh no, I'm not clean anymore, not clean... not clean anymore...
Yuanshi looked bewildered, poking at Tuanzi, who looked like a deflated balloon. Tuanzi ignored him, and Yuanshi's brows furrowed slightly, filled with worry.
"Tongtian? What happened to you? Are you alright?"
Tongtian is fine, he just wants some peace and quiet. The little cub Tongtian, feeling utterly hopeless, whimpered, turned over, and buried his head directly in his second brother's arms, not moving at all.
Yuanshi looked completely bewildered, thinking that his younger brother was just sleepy again, so he simply ignored him and let him sleep soundly in his arms, while he continued to meditate and cultivate.
