Chapter 66 Sleepless Nights
Su Yu remained silent, attempting to offer a reminder.
Feng Huaijin looked at him with a blank yet obedient expression: "What's wrong, brother?"
...Never mind, it's probably because we've been apart for too long this time.
It's fine if we live together.
"It's nothing," Su Yu replied gently after convincing herself, raising her hand to pat Feng Huaijin's head. "How about we go for a soak in a hot spring together tonight?"
Feng Huaijin lowered her head slightly to make it easier for her brother to massage her, and restrained herself to keep her expression normal: "...I'll just go soak in the hot spring in my yard."
Knowing his own thoughts were filthy and wicked, he dared not offend in the slightest until he received a pardon.
But we still need to live together. We've been separated for almost two years, and he can't stand being alone anymore.
I'll just take a quick soak and then head back to my brother's yard.
Su Yu was somewhat surprised by Feng Huaijin's rejection.
Hmm? I could understand him being shy when we were kids, but it's been over ten years and he's suddenly rejecting me...
Is it because the cub has grown up that it needs to maintain the sense of distance and boundaries of an adult demon?
Yes, a little bit, I feel disappointed.
“Okay,” Su Yu nodded and gently patted Feng Huaijin’s shoulder. “After such a fight, Twelve should go back and rest early too.”
The baby's grown up, so we're not keeping it.
Feng Huaijin felt as if struck by lightning, and instinctively grabbed the corner of Su Yu's sleeve.
Long, slender fingers with distinct knuckles held the piece of clothing, gently swaying the hem of her garment. Her thick eyelashes drooped, revealing a sense of loss and vulnerability. Feng Huaijin skillfully softened her voice and said, "Can't I stay?"
"I haven't seen my brother for so long. I feel like today is a dream. When I wake up, you're not by my side again."
"Brother, I can't sleep well when you're not here."
Isn't this kid a little too skilled?
Feng Huaijin continued softly, "I've been on quite a few missions and to quite a few places in the past year or so. Brother, I haven't given you the gift I've been saving up yet."
He carefully stored in his storage ring the local specialties he had collected from new places, the food and tea cakes that he could preserve, the hairpins and waist ornaments, as well as some recipes and runes he had collected from several secret realms, and novel magical plants.
There were just too many things. Although they had been categorized, he hadn't packed them all into gift boxes yet.
That's why I didn't mention these gifts yesterday. I was planning to pack them all up before giving them to my brother, but I was so surprised and happy when he came back that I forgot about them.
Su Yu raised an eyebrow: "Then what about my gift?"
Feng Huaijin smiled slyly, her eyes sparkling: "Tomorrow, I'll give it to you, brother."
"Hmph," Su Yu chuckled lightly, and gently poked Twelve's forehead with her other hand, which wasn't holding her sleeve. "Alright, come in with me. What kind of image is it to stand at the door like this?"
"Okay, brother." Feng Huaijin got what he wanted.
He said that his brother had only recently met him, so how could he possibly bear to truly reject him?
As night fell, Feng Huaijin perfunctorily soaked in the hot spring in his courtyard. After thoroughly washing himself and using a cleaning technique, he didn't wait long before going directly into Su Yu's room and climbing into Su Yu's bed.
While Su Yu was still away, they continued packing gift boxes.
Su Yu, if he hadn't suddenly remembered that there was still Feng Twelve, would have almost fallen asleep in the hot spring pool.
Hmm, it's more comfortable to go back to my room and lie down on the bed to sleep.
Su Yu squinted sleepily as she got up, causing ripples to spread. Her posture exuded laziness, and her wet white hair hung down, with many strands sticking to her damp neck, water droplets rolling off.
After casually using magic to dry the water stains on her body, Su Yu, wearing only an inner garment and a black outer robe embroidered with dark silver patterns, slowly walked back to her bedroom.
The half-closed door was pushed open and then closed again.
Su Yu came to the bedside, patted Feng Huaijin who was obviously pretending to be asleep, and whispered, "Twelve, sleep on the inside."
Feng Huaijin didn't say anything, but obediently moved his body further inside.
Su Yu calmly went to bed and fell asleep.
Before going to sleep, I felt a pang of emotion looking at Feng Huaijin's well-behaved appearance.
Originally, Twelve always liked to stay up all night and cultivate diligently. Su Yu discovered this and told Twelve: "Children who don't sleep won't grow tall."
From then on, Feng Shier went to bed on time every night, and he no longer had to worry about him.
Su Yu falls asleep quickly; this is a habit she developed during the apocalypse due to the constant threat of crisis.
Quickly enter a sleep state when it is safe to do so, restore energy and ensure physical strength.
But Feng Huaijin couldn't sleep.
His brother wasn't seduced, but he himself was completely unable to control himself and was attracted by his brother's indifferent and composed demeanor.
I want to get closer...
Feng Huaijin did not notice that the red in his crimson eyes was becoming increasingly intense, even darkening.
Unaware of his presence, he moved closer to Su Yu's neck, slowly parting his lips to reveal his sharp canine teeth.
I want to... mark... completely possess... mine...
Su Yu felt an itch on her neck while she was asleep, so she turned over.
His dark red eyes suddenly cleared, contracted for a moment as if startled, and were filled with shock and uncertainty.
He quickly retreated, backing to the innermost part against the wall, covering his mouth, wishing he could pull out the two teeth inside.
What was he thinking just now?
He does admire his brother, that's true, but how could he have such a filthy and despicable thought?!
My brother won't like it.
Is it a bloodline issue? It's happening again.
How could it have re-emerged so quickly?
Fallen wisteria, yes, fallen wisteria! He must find it.
Feng Huaijin gritted his teeth and stared at Su Yu with reluctance. Tomorrow, tomorrow he would give the gift to his brother, receive the sword his brother had given him, and then he would set off.
Even if he couldn't find the Heavenly Fallen Vine Flower, he still needed to find some magical potions that could suppress the abnormal bloodline, and he also needed to stockpile a batch of Tranquilizing Pills. These magical potions and Tranquilizing Pills were relatively easy to find; he had previously gone to the Ghost Market to buy magical potions, and the Ghost Market had always given him a discount. He was aware that his brother had a close relationship with the Ghost Market.
However, he was unwilling to place all his hopes on the Ghost Market for help.
This is his brother's relationship, not his, and he cannot take it for granted.
He's not feeling well; he can't stay by his brother's side all the time like this.
While the fallen vines may be temporarily unavailable, he must maintain his stable form before the four matches.
Feng Huaijin's eyes were dark and gloomy.
He couldn't bear the thought of being unable to be by his brother's side on such an important occasion.
As for tonight, just in case, Feng Huaijin decisively knocked himself unconscious.
Because his movements were restrained, he did not wake Su Yu.
So the next day.
Su Yu was utterly shocked when she heard Feng Huaijin's farewell.
“You mean,” Su Yu tapped her side with her fingertips, a little annoyed, “you didn’t know exactly when I would be back, so you took on a mid-term mission and are about to leave now.”
"Is it because the time for accepting the mission has passed that I can't go with them?"
He's only been back for two days, how come his brother has to leave already?
Looking at that pile of gifts, I'm not as happy as I was just now.
“…Yes,” Feng Huaijin lowered his eyes to hide his guilt, stroking the scabbard of the Cimo sword that Su Yu had given him. The Cimo sword was still safely in the scabbard. “I will definitely be back before the Four Sects Tournament.”
