Oops, I've become the puppy apprentice of my stupid master.

A tear suddenly fell, and the warm tears cut across the other person's hand like a knife.

The cold touch spread throughout his body. Feeling this real tear, Chu Fengyi couldn't even cry.

He really wanted to raise his hand and comfort the other person.

But his body had died before his senses.

He couldn't even do a simple movement now.

Chu Jinning closed her eyes and tried hard to hold back her tears.

"I was destined to lose my freedom from the moment I was born. Although my mother loves me, she also restricts me. She doesn't understand my preferences, and it can even be said that she doesn't want to understand."

"In your eyes, the doted-on Crown Prince is actually lonelier than anyone else. I don't have a single true friend. They are all afraid of me."

"In the entire palace, only my eldest brother understands my thoughts and my character. You are the one who has suffered the humiliation, but you always touch my head and say: Poor little Aning, my eldest brother will always be with you."

The young man lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Who is more pitiful between the two of us? I have only lived in a cage under surveillance since I was a child, while my elder brother has suffered all kinds of pain and torture in such a cage."

Although they are both people who did not enjoy their childhood, even for two people without a childhood, the meaning is completely different.

"When I was eight years old, I ate candied haws for the first time. No one else was willing to give it to me, so my eldest brother endured 30 lashes and bought it for me."

Chu Jinning tightened the other person's hand a little more, and when he said this, his voice began to tremble.

"You know, I really liked it and was very touched. At that time, I was thinking, how could my elder brother be so good..."

"Tanghulu is very sweet, especially sweet. But at that time, looking at the wounds on my brother's body, no matter how sweet the food was, it tasted bitter. The taste was not good at all..."

The tears he shed while eating candied haws that day were not actually noticed by the other party.

If he could go back on time, he might deliberately let the other party see it, and then make his elder brother feel sorry for him again.

Chu Fengyi had never heard his younger brother say these words to him.

He always knew that Aning was a very strong-willed person, and unless he had no choice, he would never show his most vulnerable side to others.

Now that the other party is finally willing to speak, I have lost the right to respond to him.

Chu Jinning's shoulders were shaking with pain and tears were rolling down her face. If you didn't know, you would think they were competing to see who could make their owner more painful.

"I work so hard and practice so diligently just to become strong enough to protect the people I want to protect one day."

"Brother, why can't you wait for Aning? Why do you still distrust me like before and think that I can't protect you..."

"I can do it. I can do it..."

"Brother, please say something. Can you please stand up and touch my head again? Don't be so silent. Aning is so scared..."

Seeing that he was out of control, Song Zhili couldn't bear it and walked up to him and patted his shoulder.

"Jin Ning, big brother can hear it. He can hear it all."

His voice was gentle and had a soothing power. After he finished speaking, the other person slowly calmed down.

Song Zhili continued, "This ending is actually quite good for him. Isn't this a chance to choose his life again? But Jinning, the thing that Big Brother is most worried about in this world is you and Miss Su. If he sees you so sad, how can he leave with peace of mind?"

Chu Jinning choked up and said, "I know..."

He took the initiative to reach out and touch the head of the person on the bed, with a relatively normal smile on his face.

"Don't worry, big brother. I will take good care of myself and my sister-in-law. When I get out, I will go and see what your beloved woman looks like and what kind of person she is to make you so worried."

As if he had finally heard these reassuring words, Chu Fengyi's arms instantly lost support and fell down.

The weak breathing gradually stopped until it returned to calm.

The hand on the other person's head froze for a moment, and Chu Jinning's mind felt empty and numb for a moment.

When he regained consciousness, his body was already tightly held in the arms of the man next to him.

Although Song Zhili called him "big brother" before, in his heart, he actually always treated this boy as his younger brother.

Now seeing the other person sad, how could he feel good?

He patted the other's back gently, trying to give the boy the greatest comfort.

"If you want to cry, just cry. It won't hurt anymore."

Chu Jinning simply buried her head in the other person's shoulder, letting the tears in her eyes soak the man's clothes.

After his eldest brother passed away, he lost the courage to cry out loud.

At this moment, he is already content to have a loved one lending him a warm embrace.

In fact, he has been a child who is easily satisfied since he was young, but over the years, only his elder brother and Song Zhili have done it.

After crying, Chu Jinning pulled herself away from the other man's arms.

"Zhili, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not even be able to see my brother for the last time."

Song Zhili said bluntly: "What are you thanking me for? No need to thank me. As long as His Royal Highness understands this, it will be fine."

He then raised his hand and made a money rubbing gesture.

Chu Jinning held his forehead helplessly: "Don't worry, you will definitely be indispensable, but I still need you to do me a favor."

"Everything will be easy once the money is in place."

Chu Jinning turned around and glanced at the person on the bed, his eyes full of pain.

"Help me bury my brother's body somewhere far away from the palace. If he continues to stay here, he will just be thrown into a mass grave."

Song Zhili understood what he meant very well. If the eldest prince was to be taken out of the palace, there must be a substitute here.

(Waiwai, make me a fake person, and then use a trick to make it look like the eldest prince.)

— (Master, you don’t have enough strength to complete this task today!)

(What should we do? Think of a solution!)

— (Then the master can just find another man to hug for five minutes.)

(Didn’t I just hug you?)

He hugged Chu Jinning for so long at that time, don't tell him that this doesn't count.

Unless the system classifies Chu Jinning as a boy instead of a man.

— (Although the master has just held me, Waiwai has not started counting, so the previous number does not count.)

I fucking%...

He hugged Chu Jinning just now because he was comforting her.

If he hugs Chu Jinning again at this moment, he must be mentally ill.

After thinking it over, he finally turned around and threw himself into the arms of his master.

After all, only by hugging his master can he feel at ease and not have to worry about so many trivial things.
