1275 You Seem Like My Brother! (1/2)

Luo Zhanyu shook his head and sighed. ”There is nothing I can do. The men here outnumber the ladies, and there is no way out for us. By the way, what did you call me a while ago?”

”Brother.” Gu Xijiu responded with a smile. ”You seem like my brother!”

Perplexed, Luo Zhanyu stared at her fixedly. ”Weird…”

”What is?”

Luo Zhanyu looked at her for a few moments. He then pursed his lips into a line. ”When you talked about the general, I could somehow feel a little aversion towards him, like I intuitively did not wish to hear his name. As for you, however, I could feel a sense of proximity, as though I used to take care of you when you were little.”

There was a sudden realization that occurred to Gu Xijiu. When Gu Tiannuo disappeared, Gu Xijiu was only a little over a year old. Perhaps her brother had indeed spent some time with his little sister.

An image flashed before her eyes. A little baby was lying in the cradle, trying to babble out her first speeches. A boy, aged ten or so, suddenly emerged next to her and touched her little face gently.

”Sister, don't you be afraid, I will love you with all I can. I will never let others bully you.”

The baby kept giggling. The little boy then took the baby in his arms. ”My little sister, I am your brother. Say 'brother'. If you say 'brother', I will bring you out to play with me.”

The little baby did babble a little saying 'Brother', but it sounded blurry and unclear.

However, the boy was immediately delighted and took the baby outside with him. ”Be good. Let me show you the flowers.”
