I Want to Stay by My Brother's Side

Then let's go get breakfa...

Brother Ye Feng!

Su Yuxin interrupted Ye Feng before he could finish his sentence, wrapping her arms tightly around his arm and staring straight at him with her large, sparkling eyes.

I... I have a favor to ask of you, Brother.

Of course, what is it you wanted to ask, Yuxin?

I want you to teach me knowledge!

Su Yuxin nodded her little head vigorously, her tone incredibly soft and sweet, looking for all the world like a student thirsty for learning.

Teach you knowledge? Sure, I can do that, but didn't we already do some tutoring? Your learning ability...

I'm not talking about book knowledge!

Su Yuxin pursed her small lips, summoned up her courage, leaned in close to Ye Feng's ear, and whispered with warm, breathless anticipation.

I want... I want you to teach me the kind of knowledge that can make you happy, Brother.

Su Yuxin's shy demeanor made the meaning perfectly clear to Ye Feng. His body stiffened slightly, and after glancing at her small face, which was so flushed it looked ready to bleed, he spoke slowly.

Yuxin, before I answer that, can you tell me one thing?

Hmm?

Is this truly what you want in your heart, or are you just trying to help me?

Ye Feng looked at Su Yuxin with a serious expression. He wasn't the type of person to ignore someone else's feelings just for his own pleasure; he respected everyone's inner thoughts and hoped that everyone's heart was truly happy.

It is! It's from my heart!

Just when Ye Feng thought Su Yuxin might hesitate, she spoke up without a second thought.

I want to stay by your side, Brother, and be with you forever and ever! I want to make you happy too, and let you know that there are people in this world who love you!

......

Su Yuxin's words lacked flowery embellishments or grand gestures, yet to Ye Feng's ears, they were exceptionally comforting. The young girl's gentle voice was like a pair of small hands soothing his soul, so warm and beautiful.

I understand. I understand your feelings, Yuxin. So, what would you like to know? As long as it's not too excessive, I'll go along with it.

Umm...

Hearing this, Su Yuxin suddenly wilted like a frost-bitten flower, losing all her previous brave momentum. She glanced shyly at Ye Feng before answering weakly.

I want... I want you to hug me, Brother.

Now? Shouldn't we wait until after we eat...

Can we do it now?

Alright...

Ye Feng certainly wouldn't refuse the adorable Su Yuxin; after all, it was just a hug, and nothing unusual would happen.

But he was wrong to think that. Precisely because Su Yuxin had spoken words requiring such courage, her head was still hot and dizzy. Just as Ye Feng opened his arms to pull her into his embrace, Su Yuxin's small mouth pressed against the corner of his lips.

Chu~

Yuxin?! You...

I like you! I like you the most, Brother Ye Feng!

Seeing the satisfied look on Su Yuxin's little face, Ye Feng swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. He curled his lips helplessly and then swept Su Yuxin up into his arms.

Eep!

Sensing the sudden movement, Su Yuxin let out a startled cry. Her wandering hands instinctively grabbed Ye Feng's shoulders, and she finally buried her head into his chest.

Slow down, Brother Ye Feng, I'm still a little dizzy.

Who told you to sneak attack me? Who did you learn that move from? Mengli?

No way, that was an action from my heart, it was filled with my love.

Okay, okay. Now that you've done what you wanted to do, Yuxin, can we go eat breakfast now?

Then... then I want you to carry me to the dining room, Brother.

Fine, I'll satisfy whatever request you have today.

The shy Su Yuxin brought a smile to Ye Feng's face. Holding her in his arms, he walked toward the depths of the hallway.

Hmm, what are the Teacher and Yuxin doing? Why haven't they come down for so long? Could it be!

Meanwhile, Li Mucheng, who was waiting at the dining table for Ye Feng to arrive, kept glancing intentionally or unintentionally toward the dining room entrance, her grip on her chopsticks tightening significantly.

Are you jealous, Mucheng?

Sitting beside Li Mucheng, Shen Mengli narrowed her eyes and spoke faintly, placing her hand over Li Mucheng's hand to calm the emotionally complex girl down.

No... I'm not. I'm not who I used to be. I just think the Teacher needs to take care of his body. He was tormented by Xie Yuyan for so long yesterday, so his condition surely isn't great. If he overdoes it now and something happens, what will we do!

Cough...

Xie Yuyan, who was eating a cherry tomato, nearly choked when she heard Li Mucheng's words. She slammed her palm onto the table and spoke agitatedly.

What do you mean tormented Ye Feng's body? I just had a slightly big reaction, is that any reason to talk about me like that? Besides, I love my darling, of course I wouldn't damage his health!

Alright, alright, we're eating, why are you two talking about this? Have you no shame!

Eventually, it was Shen Mengli who stood up to end the awkward conversation. Although the group was no longer as hostile as they were in the beginning, there was still an invisible struggle going on between them.

Sorry, we're late.

As Ye Feng's voice came from the dining room entrance, everyone returned to their usual harmonious facade. Of course, they all saw Su Yuxin's bright red face; if there was anyone among them who couldn't hide a secret, it was Su Yuxin.

Why... why are you all looking at me! I didn't secretly do anything bad with Brother Ye Feng!

Just as she sat down, Su Yuxin felt the glaring gazes around her. Like a frightened little quail, she buried her head into her arms; clearly, her weak aura couldn't stand its ground.

Alright, stop giving Yuxin a hard time. Yuxin is right.

Ye Feng stepped in to diffuse the situation for Su Yuxin. Since the official authority had spoken, the others naturally couldn't say much more. Instead, they took advantage of the meal to compete in passing nutrition to Ye Feng.

Here, Teacher, have more wolfberry soup! I specifically asked the chef to make this!

Xiao Feng, try this Bull Pizzle, and this Sheep Kidney is good too!

Darling, please taste the special sandwich I wrapped just for you? It will definitely help you restore your virility. ♡
