The little crybaby in the group, the young master is a softie

"Coming of Age Ceremony?" He sneered and cut into the rare steak. Blood seeped into the sauce at the bottom of the plate. "On the day of my Coming of Age Ceremony, I personally cut off the tongue of the bastard who betrayed the Sky Eye Society."

The blade suddenly pressed against her wrist. "Do you know how to shrink your tongue to the size of a walnut? Soak it in salt water for three days, then hang it in a vent to dry in the sun."

She swallowed her saliva and watched him put the bloody steak into his mouth, his eyes were so fierce as if he was a mad dog that would bite people at any time.

"Are you scared?" He suddenly lifted a strand of her hair with a steak fork. "Just now in the room, you said you wanted to help me take a bath?"

Shen Ran's cheeks were hot, and he pretended to be calm and met his gaze: "You, didn't you tell me to get out?"

"Do you regret it now?" He pulled her hair and pressed her into his arms, "Please, I might take you to the hotel to see it after dinner."

"Chen Yifan!" She lowered her voice, "This is a restaurant! There are a lot of people watching..."

"Oh?" He raised his eyebrows and looked around. The couple at the next table hurriedly looked away. "What are you afraid of? I have always been honest." Although he said this, he still restrained himself a lot.

Shen Ran breathed a sigh of relief and watched him cut the avocado with a military folding knife. He suddenly remembered that he used the same knife to open the infusion tube of the mechanical baby in the villa.

The two scenes overlapped in her mind, and they were inexplicably harmonious.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Yifan shook the avocado flesh off the knife. "Have you ever seen gangsters eating Western food?"

"I have seen it." Shen Ran suddenly laughed, "But I have never seen gangsters cut avocados with daggers, and cut them into star shapes."

Chen Yifan's hand trembled, and the avocado rolled onto the table: "I'm happy with it! What do you care?"

Shen Ran smiled and helped him pick up the pulp. He found that the edges of the stars he cut were jagged. It was obviously his first time doing such delicate work.

She suddenly thought of the crescent-shaped scar on the back of his neck and the centipede-shaped old wound on his chest. How many stories that she had never heard were hidden in these scars?

"Tomorrow we will have training. I will teach you how to peel an apple with a knife." Chen Yifan suddenly said, "If you can't even peel an apple properly, I will throw you into the Xiaoqing River to feed the fish."

"Got it." Shen Ran nodded, "Then can you cut stars?"

"Stars?" Chen Yifan raised his eyebrows. "I can only chop the enemy's head into a skull. Do you want to try?"

"No!" Shen Ran waved his hands hurriedly, but when he suddenly stretched out his hand, he subconsciously shrank his neck.

Chen Yifan's hand paused in mid-air, and suddenly he tapped her forehead with his knuckles: "Idiot, help me pass the pepper over."

The crystal chandelier in the restaurant cast fragmented light on the ends of his hair. When Shen Ran handed him the pepper, he saw the shadow cast by his eyelashes under his eyes.

I feel that this thorny man is actually like a rough stone. The surface is bumpy, but the inside is full of unpolished light.

And she prayed that she would be lucky enough to be the first person to take a small hammer and gently knock open his shell.

Inside the Corpse Refining Gate at midnight, a blue flame floated in the copper furnace. Su Xiang concentrated on reshaping the body of Little Black Egg. The newly shaped yellow face was round and plump, much more pleasing to the eye than the previous dark appearance.

Su Yang was helping on the side, stroking the chalcedony scraper with his fingertips, and suddenly asked: "Brother, have you been hiding something from me recently?"

Su Xiang paused and said, "No."

Su Yang took a half step closer, gently held his face with both hands, and forced him to turn his head and look at him: "Brother, look into my eyes and say it again."

Su Xiang blinked: "Hehe...brother, don't be like this, I'm a little scared, just ask directly."

Su Yang stroked his cheek with his thumb, his voice as soft as if soaked in ice: "Ming Xi...you really have nothing to do with him?"

Su Xiang remained calm: "What does it matter?"

Su Yang didn't let go of his hand, his eyes locked on his pupils: "Swear."

Su Xiang raised his hand: "I swear! If I lie to you, I will not have enough food to eat every day."

Su Yang lowered his eyes: "But the way he looks at you is different. Have you already..."

Su Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be calm: "What nonsense! How could I fall for that coward?"

Su Yang suddenly put down the scraper and used his fingertips to gently brush away the loose hair on his forehead. His movements were gentle but chilling:

"Brother knows," he leaned close to his ear, his voice like a knife sliding across silk, "I don't like others touching you. Even with their eyes."

The firelight from the copper furnace made Su Yang's face pale. He picked up the spiritual silk and bandaged the wound on Su Xiang's wrist. His fingertips wiped the oozing blood.

"Stay away from him from now on," his tone was calm, but with an unquestionable sense of oppression, "otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to help myself... clean up all those things that are in the way."

Su Yang gently pinched Su Xiang's chin with his fingertips, forcing him to be unable to avoid his sight, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his voice: "Brother, you know I hate it most when people lie to me."

Su Xiang sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand to hold Su Yang's wrist and shook it: "What are you talking about? I won't lie to anyone else but you."

Su Yang stroked his lips with his thumb: "Actually, I woke up in the middle of the night and found that you were not in bed."

Su Xiang paused, "Oh... I'm going to find Wei Zhi, and I'll tell him about the Moon on the Sea."

Su Yang suddenly bent down and rubbed his nose against his earlobe: "How long has brother been gone?"

Su Xiang's neck turned slightly red, and he reached out to push his shoulder: "It's only been half a cup of tea... why are you like a puppy?"

Su Yang chuckled, "Because I want to keep my brother under my watch."

Su Xiang was so nervous that his head felt dizzy and the scene in front of him became increasingly blurry.

The next second—

He suddenly sat up from the bed, cold sweat soaking his pajamas and sticking to his back.

"elder brother……"

Su Yang, who was sleeping beside him, was awakened by his movements and sat up, rubbing his eyes drowsily, "Did you have a nightmare?"

Su Xiang took a deep breath, hugged Su Yang and lay down again, resting his chin on the top of his head and said sullenly: "No, I just dreamed of a puppy."

"Ah? Brother, you are so powerful, why are you afraid of a puppy?"

"Of course. The puppy in the dream was very fierce and even bit my ears..."

In the bustling amusement park, a little girl named Lingling was carrying a mini bag across her body, which contained candies, and was eating them as she walked.

Suddenly, she heard a child crying nearby. She turned around and saw two children of the same age as her, wearing the same clothes and looking similar. They were obviously twins.

My younger brother Yuanyuan was crying so hard that he was out of breath. He wiped his tears with his little hands and shouted, "Wuwuwu...Mom, where are you? Mom..."

The elder sister stood aside with her hands in her pockets. She could no longer bear it and raised her little fist to knock on his head: "Shut up, stop making noise!"

Lingling was a warm-hearted person. She walked to the twins in her little leather shoes, tugged at the corner of Tuantuan's clothes with her chubby fingers, and asked in a baby voice:

"Sister, why is my brother crying?"

Tuantuan was angry, with his hands on his hips, his brows wrinkled like little buns: "Mom is lost, I can't find her no matter how hard I try!"

Yuanyuan sobbed and raised her head, tears still hanging on her eyelashes, and said pitifully: "I, I want my mother..."

Lingling nodded as if she understood, and suddenly grabbed their hands and said in a baby voice, "Come on! I'll take you to find mommy over there!"
