As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiaotong passed by. Cheng Cheng quickly hid his face in Du Gong's arms. However, it was still easily recognized by Yu Xiaotong. Liu Da shouted, ”Cheng Cheng, don't dodge anymore. It's you. ” Cheng Cheng stuck his head out and faced Yu Xiaotong while making a face. His index finger pointed at Yu Xiaotong's face in a shy manner. ”Cheng Cheng's face immediately turned red and he was about to get down, but Yu Xiaotong ran away with a smile on his face.
On the way, Cheng Cheng kept looking at Cheng Hanlong, but didn't dare to speak. Cheng Hanlong had always ignored their intimate actions. He just walked on his own path and occasionally greeted the people on the road. He knew Cheng Cheng had been looking at him, but he refused to look back. Du Gong hugged him for a while before putting him down and pulling Cheng Cheng's hand away. As the three of them walked along the road, Cheng Hanlong felt as if he was an outsider.
”Cheng Cheng, I want to stay in your house for a week. That way I can eat your food every day. ” Du Gong said to Cheng Cheng.
”Really?” Cheng Cheng asked happily, while Du Gong nodded.
Cheng Hanlong ate his meal beside him without saying a word. In fact, he still felt displeased when he saw Cheng Cheng welcoming Du Gong. Cheng Cheng never took the initiative to say a word to Cheng Hanlong, although he still helped Cheng Hanlong put away his slippers before he entered the house and served him a meal, but in Cheng Hanlong's eyes, all of this was done by Cheng Cheng after he got used to it. He thought Cheng Cheng still had some lingering fear from the beating he gave Cheng Hanlong yesterday.
At night, Cheng Cheng still slept in the same room as Cheng Hanlong, while Du Gong slept in the other room. Cheng Hanlong took a shower and lay on the bed while Cheng Cheng was still working in the bathroom.
Suddenly, Du Gong ran into Cheng Hanlong's room with a pair of underwear on. He sat on the bed and said to Cheng Hanlong: ”Did you call Cheng Cheng when I left yesterday?”
Cheng Hanlong looked at him and said honestly: ”Yeah? Did he complain to you? ”
”What!?” When he was bathing, he didn't close the door. I saw the red marks on his butt. ”You sure are vicious. You actually dared to kill such a good child.” Du Gong's words were full of pain.
Cheng Hanlong felt a bit uncomfortable. He thought, why should you care about our family's matters? Even if you are my best friend, there should be a limit to how good you can be to Cheng Cheng, right? I have overstepped my right to be Cheng Cheng's only relative.
”That's my little brother, I'll beat him up if I want to. Haven't you heard that my elder brother is like a father? I should have hit him. Besides, he should have hit himself. He wouldn't remember if he didn't. Why wouldn't I be willing to part with it? ”
Cheng Hanlong rebutted Du Gong's words. At this moment, Cheng Cheng had just finished showering. He was standing at the door and had heard the conversation. Without a word, he lowered his head and walked to the bedside, took off his clothes and went to sleep under the covers.
Du Gong patted his blanket and whispered, ”Little Cheng Cheng, sleep well. I'm going to that room.” Then, he took a glance at Cheng Hanlong and walked towards another room.
After a while, Cheng Hanlong turned off the lights, turned over a few times but still couldn't sleep. He turned on the lights and walked towards the living room. Opening the drawer, he found the injury ointment. He took it out and walked over to the bed, carefully lifted the quilt that Cheng Cheng had placed under it, and took off his underwear, exposing his bruised buttocks. Cheng Hanlong didn't expect himself to beat Cheng Cheng to this state after just a few random blows. He used his index finger to rub some ointment on Cheng Cheng's butt while rubbing it carefully.
Cheng Cheng seemed to let out a whimper, Cheng Hanlong immediately stopped his actions, and after a while, Cheng Cheng quieted down. Cheng Hanlong put the ointment back in the drawer of the living room and got ready to go back to sleep. At that moment, he saw a slip of paper under the pillow he had just moved. ”It said something that Cheng Cheng had written today, and he hadn't discovered it until now.
”Big brother, I'm sorry. I caused your face to swell. I bought a medicinal paste. If you're not angry, why don't you use some? ”
Cheng Hanlong suddenly felt very guilty. He finally knew why Cheng Cheng woke up so early in the morning. He also finally knew why Cheng Cheng looked at him expectantly and then felt a little lonely. He picked up a ointment that was placed beside the lamp and smeared it on his face. He only put it down after he felt that the ointment had obviously decreased in size.
”Cheng Cheng, I'm sorry. Actually, brother is not willing to hit you!” Cheng Hanlong said one last sentence to the sleeping Cheng Cheng before turning off the light.
(If my relatives have any opinions about this novel, they must put it up; the good ones and the bad ones must all accept it, because for the first time, I don't know how to write this kind of article, nor do I know which direction to write it in. If anyone has any thoughts, you must tell me, otherwise I won't know how to continue it, hehe …) I am very grateful)
