Chapter 121 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue

Xiao He looked down at the things in her hand and tucked the bloody part inside: "This..."

Gong Jiu stood in front of Xiao He and made a gesture to her, signaling her to leave quickly.

Gong Jiu: "Before big brother came back, I lived here. Now that you are here, I should move back. Big brother is sick and can't sleep on the couch all the time, so I asked Xiao He to clean up the bed and replace it with new bedding."

System: [He reacted very quickly.]

Xue Chen: [As long as he doesn't count, he is a smart man.]

System: [You know he has a way to deal with it, why do you do this on purpose?]

Xue Chen: [The feeling of anxiety is real, hehe, I love to see him panic.]

System: [...]

Xue Chen's mind is very abnormal and his body is very weak. After scaring his brother, he was so sleepy that he closed his eyes and took a nap.

When he woke up, he had moved from the low couch to the bed. The thin white clothes he wore when he came had been changed. The fever had not subsided yet. The cold handkerchief was pressed against his forehead. Gong Jiu was beside him, his eyes were dull and he seemed to be in a daze, but his face was very ugly.

Xiao He came in with the medicine and met Xue Chen's eyes: "The eldest master has woken up, and the medicine is ready."

Gong Jiu came back to his senses, helped Xue Chen sit up without saying a word, took the medicine bowl, scooped a little with a spoon, and after making sure it was not hot, passed it to Xue Chen's mouth.

Xue Chen looked down at the medicine in the spoon, and then looked at the bowl.

Xue Chen: [If you drink like this, can you finish it in half an hour? 】

System: [It should be possible... This medicine looks very unpalatable, do you really want to drink it bit by bit? 】

Xue Chen: [The original owner has never rejected his younger brother. 】

System: [...]

Xue Chen: [I guess they have been together for too short a time, and the original owner doesn't want to miss any chance to be with him. My brother is really unfilial. 】

System: [Unfilial to whom? 】

Xue Chen: [Me. 】

System: [...]

Gong Jiu seemed calm on the surface, but in fact his heart was already a mess.

Seeing that his brother was staring at the medicine bowl without any reaction, Gong Jiu reminded him: "Brother, drink the medicine."

"No need for you to feed me, I can do it myself." Xue Chen took the bowl from his hand, tested the temperature, made sure it was not too hot, drank it in two gulps, and then handed the bowl to Xiao He.

System: [Why don't you follow your character setting? 】

Xue Chen: [I'm teaching him a lesson. Isn't it normal for me to be displeased with him?]

Xiao He brought some water. Xue Chen rinsed his mouth and waved his hand to let Xiao He leave.

The two of them acted in perfect harmony. It was obvious that Xiao He knew all of Xue Chen's habits very well. Gong Jiu was left aside and was of no help at all. Even when Xiao He came over, he was blocking the bed and was in trouble.

When his eldest brother was sick before, he fed his eldest brother medicine, and his eldest brother never refused.

Gong Jiu thought that his brother was weak and slow in taking medicine, but he didn't expect that he was not like this in private.

Looking at Xiao He's reaction, it was clear that his brother should have been so decisive and resolute when taking medicine before, and he would only make an exception when facing himself.

He didn't understand his brother at all, and took everything for granted.

Now that his elder brother didn't give in to him, he realized that he had been tolerated by his elder brother in this way.

Xue Chen took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth: "What's wrong with you?"

Gong Jiu: "I just found out that I didn't care enough about my brother."

Xue Chen: "I don't care enough about you either."

Gong Jiu: "It's not your fault, I deliberately concealed it..."

Xue Chen: "Did you see all the injuries on my body?"

Gong Jiu's pupils shrank, and he clutched the bed sheet tightly, looking at him uneasily, even his breathing slowed down: "...I saw it."

Xue Chen: "Explain."

Gong Jiu: "I..."

Gong Jiu's heart sank to the bottom, he looked at Xue Chen's cold face, extremely scared.

How much did his elder brother know on the nameless island?

He has been hiding it for so long, can he finally not hide it anymore?

The eldest brother's high fever persisted, was it because he was injured outside?

Did he return home so quickly because he couldn't bear it anymore, or was he in a hurry to come back and question?

Gong Jiu did not forget that after the eldest brother came back, when he was lying on the couch with a hazy consciousness, the first thing he did was to make sure whether he had returned home, and the second thing was to question himself .

"Pa!"

Xue Chen slapped him, making him turn his face away.

Gong Jiu did not dare to resist, and sat in his original position obediently, but his heartbeat was getting faster and faster, and his thoughts drifted to other places involuntarily.

Xue Chen was still sick and had no strength in his body. After slapping him, Gong Jiu was fine, but he started coughing first.

Gong Jiu came back to his senses, patted him on the back, and quickly comforted him: "Brother, don't be angry, it's my fault."

System: [Are you really angry with him? 】

Xue Chen: 【Wuwu! I thought I could give him a good slap, but I didn't have much strength. I was out of breath and choked by his saliva.】

System: 【I told you not to reward him!】

Xue Chen: 【Damn it! I really didn't mean to reward him. I was planning to slap him and then say a few sarcastic words to him. Who could have thought it would turn out like this?】

System: 【Be careful next time.】

Xue Chen: 【It's all your fault.】

System: 【??? How can you blame me!】

Xue Chen: 【Please help me pick a good body next time. Don't be like this again.】

System: 【……】

Xue Chen coughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. He could only look at Gong Jiu with disappointment.

By the time his cough subsided, he had missed the best opportunity to speak.

Xue Chen leaned against the pillow and closed his eyes. A tear rolled down the corner of his eye and hit Gong Jiu's heart hard, shattering all the excuses he had prepared.

Under such a strong emotion of the eldest brother, any words would be pale and powerless.

Things have come to this, no matter what he says, it will not change.

Gong Jiu said softly: "Brother, you are still sick now, so you should not think too much. Have a good rest first, okay? When you are fully recovered, I will tell you whatever you want to ask."

System: [He wants to expose himself! You can't pretend to be deaf and dumb anymore! ]

Xue Chen: [No. The reason why he decided to expose himself is that he thought I knew everything. But that's not what I meant at all! When I have the energy in the future, I will tell him the excuses I prepared, and my brother will back down. ]

System: [Why do you have to make him back down? 】

Xue Chen was silent.

He did not answer the system's question, but looked up at Gong Jiu, stretched out his hand from the quilt, and held Gong Jiu's hand.

Usually his body temperature was lower, and Gong Jiu's temperature was slightly higher, but today it was completely the opposite.

Xue Chen's high fever had not subsided yet, and his palms were burning. Gong Jiu had been in panic, and his palms were cold.

Gong Jiu did not struggle, and let him hold his hand like this, pulled the quilt over, and covered Xue Chen's arm: "I'll be with you, big brother, sleep well."

After a while, the entity fell into a deep sleep.

Pei Rui climbed up from the bed, put on his clothes and walked towards the entity.

System: [What are you going to do? 】

Xue Chen: 【I originally thought that my brother might not have had an attack after returning, so I would need Xiao Mian to report him and I would teach him a lesson. I didn’t expect to run into him. Now that my original body is asleep, I’m afraid that my brother will think that the matter has been exposed and will let himself go, so I came to warn him.】

System: 【……？】

Xue Chen rarely told the system the truth: 【Actually, I’m not sure whether this is right or wrong.】

System: 【What?】

Xue Chen: 【My brother’s habit of being beaten is actually not something I should care about. If he is a normal m, he looks no different from ordinary people and only plays with specific people, which is understandable, but his behavior has seriously affected the people around him...】

System: 【So you have been struggling with whether to care about him.】

Xue Chen: 【Yes. 】

System:【But you have already intervened so much, it is impossible for you to suddenly change your attitude and let it go, right?】

Xue Chen:【Yes.】

System:【Then why are you still entangled.】

Xue Chen:【You are so funny when you swear.】

System:【……】

Pei Rui came to the main body, without any courtesy, just like returning to his own residence, and pushed the door open directly.

Gong Jiu turned around vigilantly; "Who is it?"

The black-clothed boy passed through the outer room and appeared at the door.

Gong Jiu stared at him resentfully without saying a word.

Pei Rui said coldly: "I can hear two breathing sounds here. The real big brother is back."

Gong Jiu gently pried open Xue Chen's hand, pulled out his arm, covered him with a quilt, stood up and walked towards Pei Rui: "Big brother just went to bed, don't disturb him to rest."

Pei Rui: "I came to visit big brother."

Gong Jiu lowered his voice: "Get out."

Pei Rui: "This is big brother's place, you are not qualified to say that."

Gong Jiu was very angry, but he did not refute.

If it were in the past, he would definitely tell Pei Rui that what belongs to big brother is his, he and big brother are one, and what he says, as long as it makes sense, big brother will not refute.

But now...

Gong Jiu still doesn't know what the outcome of himself and Xue Chen will be, let alone make him angry over these trivial matters.

He could only look at Pei Rui fiercely to express his dissatisfaction.

Pei Rui: "Since big brother is resting, I won't disturb him."

Gong Jiu: "You know what's good for you."

Pei Rui tilted his head: "You seem to have changed."

Gong Jiu snorted.

Pei Rui: "Aren't you afraid that I will tell him about that? Or are you fearless and sure that I won't tell him?"

Gong Jiu: "If big brother knew that you were so despicable, he would definitely not trust you as much as he does now."

Pei Rui curled the corners of his mouth imperceptibly: "But I'm only sixteen years old. In his eyes, I'm still a child. No matter what mistakes I made, they are forgivable."

Xue Chen: [Xiao Mian has kept the same expression for too long and can't smile anymore. ]

System: [How could this happen! 】

Xue Chen:【When I want to laugh, I feel my muscles are very stiff and heavy, and my facial muscles seem to be rented and very unfamiliar. I guess it would be very awkward if I force myself to laugh, so I can only be forced to look so dull. But it’s not bad, it helps me maintain my character.】

System:【Poor Xiao Mian...wait, you call this maintaining a character?】

How could Xiao Mian’s character say such a thing!

Gong Jiu attacked him angrily, directly in the eyes.

Pei Rui was very intuitive, he stepped back a few steps, listened with his ear to the side, drew out his knife, and slapped the back of the knife on Gong Jiu’s hand to block his attack.

System:【Don’t hit him! 】

Xue Chen:【It's okay, he just got beaten, his self-control is strong, he won't get sick easily.】

System:【Why are you so skilled!】

Xue Chen said proudly:【I have analyzed and understood him in depth.】

Pei Rui counterattacked successfully, but did not stop, but continued to attack Gong Jiu.

This time he no longer used the back of the knife, but directly chopped Gong Jiu with the blade.

Gong Jiu held the long knife with his backhand, his internal energy was full, his fingers seemed to be made of steel, and he broke Pei Rui's knife into several pieces with force.

System:【Is Xiao Mian going to lose?】

Xue Chen:【I was setting a trap for him, I deliberately didn't use internal energy.】

Pei Rui turned his ear and kicked, hitting the plane of the falling debris. The blade flew into the air and was pushed out by Pei Rui with his internal strength, stabbing Gong Jiu head-on.

Gong Jiu dodged it, his expression became more fierce. He tapped the table with his fingers and saw that Pei Rui turned his face to the opposite direction and used his ears to face the position of the sound to identify the opponent's moves.

Gong Jiu picked up a teacup and threw it at the wall not far away. Pei Rui stood there without moving, with a dazed look on his face. The teacup shattered and several pieces of porcelain splashed everywhere. While Pei Rui's attention was on the other side, Gong Jiu used all his strength to hit the blind boy's chest with his palm.

The original body said weakly: "Lian'er, stop it."

Pei Rui reacted very quickly, holding the hilt of the knife horizontally in front of him, injecting internal force, and took Gong Jiu's palm.

The hilt of the knife shattered, and wood chips fell to the ground.

Pei Rui was unharmed, but he still deliberately took a few steps back and bumped into the wall behind him.

Gong Jiu's first reaction was that he had defeated him, and then he remembered that they woke up their brother, and now every move was seen by the eldest brother.

Gong Jiu looked at Pei Rui hatefully: "You are still pretending!"

Pei Rui stood firm, blinked slowly, and walked happily to the original body's bed: "Big brother."

Xue Chen: "Little cotton."

Pei Rui squatted down, touched the edge of the bed, and touched the quilt.

Xue Chen took the initiative to extend his hand, allowing the blind boy to hold him.

Pei Rui began to transfer his internal energy to his main body.

His internal energy was thick and cold, and after it mixed into his tendons and veins, he felt very comfortable. The dryness in Xue Chen's body dissipated a lot, and his head was not as dizzy as before.

Pei Rui was multitasking, he was still angry at Gong Jiu: "My knife is broken."

Xue Chen raised his other hand, touched his head, and said gently: "If it's broken, just replace it with a new one. Whoever broke it for you should compensate you. Your second brother is a rich man. With a lot of money, he will definitely find better materials and make a better knife."

Pei Rui tilted his head: "What if my second brother doesn't compensate me?"

Xue Chen: "Then tell me, I'll talk to him for you."

Pei Rui: "Okay."

Gong Jiu couldn't bear to see the two of them getting along so friendly. He also knew that he had fallen into Pei Rui's trap. Now his elder brother would not believe anything he said.

He could only stare at Pei Rui with a cold face.

Xue Chen's eyes fell on his younger brother. Seeing his expression, he said nothing, but revealed a deep disappointment.

Gong Jiu took a half step forward: "Brother, I..."

Xue Chen: "You go out."

Gong Jiu was shocked: "Brother!"

Xue Chen's tone slowed down: "You said that I am not energetic enough now and don't want to think too much. Now is not the time to talk about these things. You go back first, think about it carefully, and come to see me when you have thought it through."

Gong Jiu: "...Okay."
