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

Buyehou held Su Yang, who was crying so hard that he gasped for breath. The demonic energy around him surged uncontrollably, and even his breathing was violently hot.

"I really... really didn't mean to stab you... I thought it was that bastard Gelsemium pretending to be you again to trick me. I was so angry that I lost my mind..."

"I know, I know." Buyehou bent down and picked him up horizontally. "It's all my fault. I didn't tell you in advance that I was coming back. I don't blame you."

Back in the room, he put Su Yang on the bed and covered him with the quilt. "Rest for a while. I'll be back with you after I finish cleaning the Gelsemium."

He nodded through his tearful eyes: "That guy is very cunning. He can disguise himself and deceive people. You have to be careful."

"Hmm." Buyehou pecked him on the lips again, and his figure instantly turned into a shadow, rushing towards the direction where the Gelsemium elegans lived, and even the leaves on the roadside were blown into the sky by the air waves.

The kitchen of the villa halfway up the mountain was filled with the rich aroma of traditional Chinese medicine. Guiju stood in front of the stove, a wooden spoon in hand, stirring the medicine in the pot, muttering, "Simmer for half an hour. Don't let it get mushy, or it'll be useless. My adoptive father said that if I drink this, I'll become smarter and be able to take better care of Jian Yi."

On the stove was a piece of paper covered with circles. It contained the detailed steps for cooking the medicine. Every time Podocarpus completed a step, he would poke the circle on the paper with his finger. "Oh yeah! Another step completed! I'll be smart soon!"

"boom--!"

The door of the villa was kicked open.

Gelsemium elegans walked in in a nonchalant manner, his black coat stained with dust and blood. The sleeve of his left arm was torn open, revealing three scratches deep enough to see the bone. There were also two small cuts on the side of his neck caused by fingernails, and his hair was a mess like a chicken coop.

"Brother!" Guiju ran out of the kitchen and saw the scars on Gelsemium's body. He hurried over and asked, "How did you get hurt? Did you have a car accident? Or did someone bully you?"

Gelsemium walked nonchalantly to the living room sofa and sat down. "It's nothing. I just had a fight with someone. It's just a minor injury."

"How can it be just a minor injury?" Guiju pointed at the blood mark on his arm, "It's bleeding! It must be very painful! Is it the monster you fought with last time? Or... or the bad guy in the human world? Tell me, I will help you get revenge!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, wanting to brush off the dust on him, but Gouwen pushed him away: "I told you it's okay, don't get involved."

"I didn't get involved!" Guiju was so anxious that he circled around the sofa. "You must be lying to me! How could you be joking with so many injuries? Did you go to a fight again? My adoptive father said that you can't fight casually in the human world, it will get you into trouble!"

Gelsemium took the cigarette box from the side, took out a cigarette, lit it, and blew out a smoke ring. "Alright, alright, stop twisting your head. Isn't it enough for me to tell you?"

Guiju stopped immediately and looked at him with round eyes, like a primary school student waiting for an answer.

Gouwen glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "I slept with Su Yang, and when he woke up, he actually attacked me. He really doesn't know what's good for him. He scratched and bit me, and this is what happened."

"Sleep...sleep?" Guiju was stunned for a moment, not reacting. "What do you mean by sleep? Is it...sleep together in bed like when we were kids? But we won't get hurt that way..."

Gouwen scoffed and explained unhappily, "I fucked him. Do you understand now?"

The explosiveness of these words directly burned the mainboard of Podophyllum's brain. He looked at Gelsemium stupidly. It took him a long time to react and waved his hands repeatedly:

"No, no! Brother, you can't do this! Su Yang is our little brother! You are the older brother, how can you do this to your little brother? Our adoptive father said that we should protect our little brother and not bully him! It's wrong for you to do this!"

As he spoke, he was about to pull Gouwen's arm: "Let's go and apologize to the little brother! Otherwise, the little brother will be angry, and the Buyehou will come and beat you! The Buyehou is very powerful, he will beat you into a pulp!"

Gouwen suddenly pulled him back to the sofa and held him down, his tone extremely impatient:

"Sit down! Don't be such a fucking coward! Apologize? Why should I apologize to him? We've already slept together, what's the point of pretending to be his grandson now? Besides, he's not our biological brother. Even if he was, I could still sleep with him if I wanted!"

"How could you say that!" Guiju stamped his feet in anger. "Brother or not, you can't do such a thing! Marquis Buye will kill you, he really will! Let's go and apologize, maybe little brother will forgive you, and Marquis Buye won't beat you anymore!"

"I say, could you please stop being so stupid?" Gousui snuffed out his cigarette and tossed it into the ashtray. "Let me tell you, humans are the most concerned about their reputation. Su Yang definitely wouldn't dare tell anyone about this. If he did, people would laugh at him, saying he didn't dare resist after being slept with by me. He can't afford to lose face, so he'll just have to suffer in silence."

"No way!" Guiju looked at Gelsemium elegans seriously, "Little brother is a good boy, no one will say anything bad about him! If anyone says anything, it will be that you are bad! That you lied to him and bullied him! If you don't apologize, no one will play with you anymore!"

Gelsemium reached out and scratched his hair, his tone softening a bit, "Alright, alright, I get it, I'll be careful, alright? Hurry up and boil the medicine, or it'll get mushy if you delay any longer."

Guiju pursed his lips, still worried: "Then you have to promise me that you will not bully the little brother anymore, and you have to apologize to him."

"Tsk! Are you annoying?" Gousui frowned, and his tone hardened again, "I know what I said, don't you understand? If you keep nagging, I'll throw away all your medicine!"

Guiju was so frightened by his fierceness that he shuddered, "I... I'll go and cook it. Brother, don't throw away my medicine... This is specially made for me by my adoptive father. Only the boiled medicine will be effective..."

Seeing him enter the kitchen, Gouwen took out another cigarette, lit it, and took a deep drag. In the smoke, he remembered Su Yang's red eyes fighting with him that morning. Although that kid was lazy and had bad behavior, he was simple and easy to fool, and there was a bit of foolish kindness in his bones.

Tsk, it’s exactly what he wants. Next time they meet, he must do the one mentioned above.

"Clang-!"

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden crisp sound from the kitchen, followed by Gelsemium's scream. Gelsemium stood up suddenly and ran to the kitchen, "What happened?!"

Guiju squatted on the ground, holding the broken medicine bowl in his hand. He raised his head, his face full of tears: "The medicine... the medicine spilled... the jar is broken... my adoptive father said that this medicine can only be boiled once a day. If it spills, it's gone... I can't be smart today..."

"What do you mean you can only cook it once a day? That old guy lied to you." Gelsemium reached out and took the broken porcelain pieces from his hand, throwing them into the trash can. "He was just threatening you because he was afraid you'd be lazy. Don't we still have the herbs? Just grab a handful and cook a new bowl, won't that be enough?"

"Really?" Guiju grabbed Gelsemium's arm. "Godfather didn't lie to me? I'll cook another bowl. Can I still become smart today?"

"What good would it do to lie to you?" Goushi rolled his eyes. "The old man knows you have a bad memory and is afraid you'll forget to cook the medicine, so he deliberately said this to force you. Hurry up and get up. I'll clean up here and you go get the herbal bag."

"Oh, okay!" Guiju stood up obediently, ran out and took out a brown cloth bag from the cupboard. It was the medicinal materials that Cangyuan had divided according to the dosage in advance, one bag per day, tied with a red rope.

He ran back with the cloth bag and handed it to Gelsemium: "Here are the herbs. I counted them. There are eight leaves, three fruits, and a black thing. It's the same as yesterday, nothing is missing."

Goushi took the cloth bag and casually placed it on the stove. He then took out a white porcelain jar from the cupboard and said, "Alright, pour the herbs in, add enough water to cover them, and simmer for half an hour. This time, watch the fire and don't be distracted. If you spill it again, I won't take care of you."

Guiju nodded quickly, like a primary school student who had received a task, and carefully poured the herbs into the medicine jar and added water to the jar...

Gelsemium leaned against the door frame, looking at his serious expression, the corners of his mouth curled up. He took out a cigarette and was about to light it, when Gelsemium turned around and glanced at him: "Brother, don't smoke so much. Smoking is bad for your health and will make your clothes smell bad. Jian Yi doesn't like the smell of cigarettes."
