Of the four brothers in the Chu family, only Chu Yiting still lives in the old house. The other three brothers, Chu Yixi, Chu Yiting ...
Moreover, the four brothers are all very busy with work every day and don't call each other unless there's something important to say, even during holidays like Chinese New Year. Except for Qingming Festival, the brothers will go to the graves together.
These days, this guy only comes to us when he needs something, so why would he call him?
Despite his doubts, Chu Yiting still answered Chu Yixi's call.
"Third brother, why are you calling me?"
"It's nothing, I just ran into my second brother!"
Upon hearing Chu Yixi mention encountering Chu Yilin, Chu Yiting's heart skipped a beat. "Could it be that the second brother has been exposed?"
"Oh, Second Brother, I didn't expect you two to meet again?"
Chu Yixi held his phone in one hand and tapped his thigh lightly with his fingers in the other, looking thoughtful. "Well, I just got off the plane back in China, and the two of them ran into each other at the airport!"
"Oh, I see. That kid's always acting recklessly, and he's been in some trouble lately. It'll be good to teach him a lesson!"
“Indeed!” Chu Yixi agreed. “Did he ask you for help?”
"Him? No!"
Chu Yiting pursed his lips. It wasn't that he was asking for Tang Bao's help; it was clearly Tang Bao who helped solve the problem in the end.
So none of these naughty boys in the family are useful; they're not as useful as his obedient, soft, cute, and adorable little sister!
"Oh!" Chu Yixi was somewhat surprised, and even more puzzled by Chu Yilin's reaction just now.
"Is everything alright at home?"
"No, what could be wrong?"
When Chu Yixi asked this question, Chu Yiting immediately understood that Chu Yilin must not have told the third brother about Tang Bao yet.
However, Chu Yilin must have given himself away and Chu Yixi noticed, but the third brother certainly didn't guess what was going on.
Since that's the case, Chu Yiting will not reveal anything about Tang Bao for the time being, and he will suppress the news about Tang Bao until Lao San notices.
"Alright!" Chu Yixi didn't notice anything amiss with Chu Yiting and temporarily put aside her doubts. "I've indeed finished handling my case. I'll go home in a few days. It seems like it's been more than half a year since we brothers last saw each other!"
"Okay, you can let me know when you arrive, and I'll definitely prepare a delicious meal for you!"
Chu Yixi smiled, "Alright, then thank you very much, brother!"
The two chatted for a few more minutes about everyday things and were about to hang up when Chu Yiting's door opened.
Tangbao poked her fluffy little head out and saw Chu Yiting behind the desk. She called out in a childish voice, "Big brother! Tangbao wants milk!"
Although the voice was sweet and cute, it was like a thunderbolt from a clear sky to Chu Yiting—no, it was more like a nuclear explosion—that nearly made him drop his phone.
The fact that this voice came out meant that all his previous battles of wits and courage with Chu Yixi had come to nothing.
Chu Yixi, on the other end of the phone, suddenly heard a childish voice and instinctively froze slightly.
Why was a little baby's voice coming from his older brother's side? And for some reason, Chu Yixi felt a ripple in his heart; the voice gave him a very intimate feeling.
Moreover, Chu Yixi knew his older brother's personality best; he wasn't someone who liked children.
Otherwise, Chu Shumin from Uncle Chu's family wouldn't always be thrown out of their house by Chu Yiting whenever she visits.
Before Chu Yixi could even react or ask a question, Chu Yiting had already hung up the phone.
Now, Chu Yiting felt extremely regretful and depressed. Why did Tang Bao, this little dumpling, have to come?
The third brother must have heard Tang Bao's voice; once he heard it, he would definitely come over to find out what was going on.
However, Chu Yiting immediately hung up the phone, tossed it onto the table, and walked over to Tang Bao, asking with concern, "Tang Bao, what brings you here?"
Tang Bao's voice was so sudden that Chu Yiting's heart skipped a beat, and he barely listened to what Tang Bao had said.
Tangbao, with her fair and chubby little hands, held a small milk bottle and said in a babyish voice, "Grandpa Butler said that big brother should come and make milk for Tangbao!"
Chu Yiting meant that from now on, whenever he was home, the task of making milk for his sister would be his alone, and the housekeeper and maids couldn't take it from him.
Knowing it was his fault, Chu Yiting felt guilty and gently patted Tang Bao's fluffy little head. "I'm sorry, big brother forgot. Big brother will make you some milk right away!"
He was so focused on his work earlier, and then Chu Yixi called and talked about Chu Yilin and his family, so he was very wary.
The third brother is not as easy to fool as the second and fourth brothers. He has to be on his guard when dealing with him, not to mention that he didn't even notice Tang Bao's sudden appearance.
Chu Yiting picked Tang Bao up in one swift motion. "Let's go!"
Tang Bao happily wrapped her lotus-root-like arms around Chu Yiting's neck, obediently nodding her little head, "Okay! Thank you, big brother!"
"What are you thanking me for? You're my little princess, it's only right that I do everything for you!" Chu Yiting smiled gently and pinched Tang Bao's cute little nose with his slender fingers.
Tang Bao wrinkled her little nose and rubbed her delicate little cheek against Chu Yiting's face. "Hehehe, Tang Bao likes big brother the most!"
Chu Yiting found it amusing. This little scumbag girl had said this countless times, but hearing it again still made him very happy and satisfied.
At this moment, Chu Yixi, on the other end of the phone, came to her senses and dialed Chu Yiting's number again.
However, the phone only had a busy tone, and no one answered.
Chu Yixi subconsciously recalled how Chu Yilin looked at him as if he were a demon, and how he spoke to him indirectly about family matters, before finally fleeing in panic.
Now, Chu Yixi is certain that something must have happened at home, and it's very likely related to that familiar, sweet voice.
"Damn it, why hasn't he answered yet!" Chu Yixi glanced at the phone screen, then put it back to his ear, muttering to himself.
What Chu Yixi didn't know was that Chu Yiting only carried Tang Bao when he left the room and didn't take his phone with him at all, so naturally he couldn't receive her call.
Chu Yiting knew that since Chu Yixi had heard Tang Bao's voice, with his keen mind, he would definitely notice that something was wrong at home and would definitely come home immediately. Therefore, Chu Yiting did not intend to make any other excuses and focused on "serving" Tang Bao by feeding her milk and putting her to sleep, and also compete with Grandpa Chu for the night to sleep with Tang Bao.
Finally, after several unsuccessful attempts to call, Chu Yixi had no choice but to give up.
