Chapter 40 Dazzled (Second update)

(forty)

Under the covered bridge of Shen Family Garden.

Yu Ce found the cub crying by the river under the bridge.

Hugging her legs, she looked like a small snow-white dumpling. The velvet corners on both sides of her hair were trembling, trying not to cry too loudly.

Just one glance made Yu Ce's heart soften. He walked over slowly, leaned down, and said in the goldfish's ear: "Why are you crying?"

The voice came suddenly, startling the child. His thin shoulders shook, and he raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, "Father."

The small river seemed to be flowing water brought from outside the city, rushing past in front of us, bringing cool wind in the distance.Yu Ce lifted up his clothes, sat next to the goldfish, and asked in a low voice: "Did you quarrel with your brother?"

Hearing him mention his younger brother, Goldfish pursed his lips, as if he didn't want to answer. The child rubbed his eyes and said softly: "No."

The breeze blew by, and Yu Ce said "hmm" so softly that he seemed to melt into the wind.

The goldfish leaned closer to him, nestled tightly against Yu Ce's body, looked at the toes of his shoes, and said aggrievedly: "Father, do you think your balls are like little windmills?"

Hearing this, Yu Ce was a little puzzled and asked confusedly: "Why do you say that?"

"The windmill is beautiful, but it's useless." The goldfish lowered his eyes, hugged himself tighter, and his voice became weaker, "Just like me, I'm useless."

After the words fell, the father beside him seemed to have been deep in thought for a long time. After a while, he gave his answer: "Like."

One word almost broke through the inner defense that Jinyu had just built up, and he burst into tears again. This time, he cried so hard that he was really heartbroken and out of breath.

Yu Ce sighed, reached out and patted him on the back, and said, "Isn't it good to look like a small windmill?"

The goldfish choked and said, "No, like Little Windmill, I can't be as powerful as my brother and can help you and daddy, and you won't like me as much as you like my brother."

Sometimes he would think that the younger brother should be the older brother, and that he should be the younger brother because he is so weak.

While crying, he crawled into Yu Ce's arms. It seemed that only by sitting in Yu Ce's gentle arms could the goldfish vent all the sadness in his heart. It wasn't until Yu Ce's clothes were soaked with tears that he heard the other party's helplessness.Said: "Who said you have to be powerful to be liked by dad? You and your brother are both our children. If you say so..."

Yu Ce paused for a moment, apologized to Shen Tanqi in his heart, and then continued: "If you say so, your father is only at the late stage of the Golden Core, and he doesn't need our protection like you. You will because of his poor cultivation."Gao, don’t you like him?”

This question stunned the child. He had never thought about this question before, or in other words, it was difficult for his little mind to understand this question.

But he knew, "I won't hate daddy, I like him the most."

With a smile on his face, Yu Ce gently pinched the tip of his ear and said, "So, no matter whether you are great or not, we will all like you."

The goldfish pursed his lips and whispered, "What about my brother? Does he think I'm stupid?"

My younger brother said at that time, isn't this the Nine Links we played in the Hidden Dragon Valley? I just taught you it before, why did you forget it so quickly?

However, he couldn't untie it at that time...

He is so afraid that one day his brother will think he is stupid, and everyone will like his brother more and more, and hate himself for being stupid.

"Then do you hate your brother?" Yu Ce rubbed his head and asked gently, "Do you hate your brother because he sometimes doesn't speak well enough?"

The goldfish was startled and said, "No."

The child wiped the tears from his face and repeated seriously: "I will never hate my brother."

Even if his brother ignores him in the future, doesn't like him, doesn't want to play with him, or even beats and scolds him, he will never hate his brother.

Yu Ce raised the corner of his lips slightly, hugged him tightly, and Xu Xu said: "Dan Dan forgot that I took you and your brother out to play when you were a child. Your brother was timid and scared every time, hiding behind you. He was obviously better than you in cultivation."He's much taller, but he's very good at recognizing people, and he can't even speak to outsiders when he sees them."

Following his words, Goldfish vaguely retrieved those fragmentary images from the depths of his memory.

When he was young at that time, he didn't understand what cultivation was, and he didn't know that he was actually very weak. No matter where he went, he would firmly protect his brother behind him.When his younger brother didn't dare to speak, he spoke on his behalf, just like a hen guarding her chicks.

Thinking that he actually looked like a hen, the goldfish burst out laughing and a bubble of snot bubbled up.

Yu Ce couldn't help but laugh at him, "Look at you," he took out his handkerchief, wiped his face bit by bit, and said seriously, "My younger brother is amazing. He formed the golden elixir by himself when he was born, but because of this he has toI have to do more things than you, I have to practice hard, I have to eliminate demons and defend the way, and I have to protect you..."

The goldfish stopped crying, but listened quietly and obediently to Yu Ce's words.

"But no matter how powerful the younger brother is, he is still a younger brother. He cannot do everything. Even I have things that I cannot do. As an older brother, you must also protect him."

Hearing this, Goldfish murmured to himself and repeated: "As a brother, I also have to protect him?" How can he protect his younger brother?

"Well," Yu Ce thought for a while and was speechless for a moment, and finally decided to use Shen Tanqi as an analogy, "Just like me and your father, if he doesn't dare to deal with the bad guys, then I will deal with them. But sometimes, IEverything I don’t understand was taught to me by your father.”

Hearing him describe Shen Tanqi like this, Shen Tanqi suddenly shined in the child's heart. He asked earnestly: "Dad is so awesome. What has he taught you?"

Yu Ce thought about it carefully, picked up a few words Shen Tanqi once said, and said them to the children.

The child opened his eyes wide and tried hard to understand, but seemed to have failed. He scratched his face and said, "Dan Dan doesn't understand, but Dan Dan thinks it's amazing."

This made Yu Ce laugh a little. He scratched the tip of the little boy's nose and said, "Okay, stop crying. I'll go back and apologize to my brother later, okay?"

The goldfish pursed his lips and whispered, "No."

He has already said that he should ignore his brother today, just today, he will be angry.

The river became much quieter, and Yu Ce's voice became a little deeper: "Sometimes, if you say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing, or even just make the wrong decision, you may never be able to recover. Dandan, youHave you ever thought about what you would do if your brother is heartbroken because of your behavior today?"

Goldfish's face turned pale. He couldn't imagine his brother being heartbroken, nor could he imagine the consequences of that kind of thing.

They are good brothers, brothers.

He couldn't let this happen. He would apologize to his brother when he got back.

After a long while, Jinyu nodded heavily, raised his little fist in front of his chest like an oath, and said with great certainty: "Father, Dandan will apologize to my brother when I get back. I promise you that I will protect my brother as my brother.I, I learned from daddy and taught Erdan the principles."

Yu Ce imagined the scene where the goldfish was reasoning with the taro balls, and silently lit a candle for his second son in his mind. It seemed that some people thought their ears would be very hard.

"It just so happens that the weather is nice today, let's go swim in the river for a while." Yu Ce looked up at the sun. When the sky was clear, he took off his thick coat for him and said with a smile, "You were there every time you were unhappy when you were a kid.The river is suffocating.”

The goldfish's face turned red, and he took off his clothes coyly, placed it in Yu Ce's hand, and said, "Father, please help me watch it, don't let others see it."

As expected, the child grew up and started to feel ashamed.

Yu Ce nodded, then looked at the naked little cub in front of him and eagerly dived into the water. Cold fog suddenly appeared around him, and the waves rolled violently. A snow-colored dragon tail suddenly flew out of the vortex in the middle of the river, like a huge paddle.It hit the water heavily, causing layers of water splashes, and the sun shone with golden light.

After a while, the dragon's tail cut through the water, ran toward him very smoothly, and quickly stopped in front of Yu Ce, splashing him with water.

Yu Ce:......

He wiped the water off his face and looked at a head exposed by the river. The dragon's horns had not yet grown, and it was covered with a layer of fine hairs.

A clear roar sounded, and then the beautiful dragon tail swayed in the water, "The huge splash, father, isn't it fun?"

"...It's fun." Yu Ce laughed.

The child got the answer he wanted and had more fun. He lay on the shore wagging his tail excitedly, looking more like a puppy than a dragon. "Do you and daddy play like this?"

After that, he got into the water again and swam happily.

On the shore, Yu Ce thought of Shen Tanqi, paused, and shook his head, "Your father doesn't like playing with me."

The dragon's horn came out of the water. The child looked at him in astonishment and asked in confusion: "Why?"

"He..." Yu Ce didn't know how to explain this to his child, his eyes darkened, and after a long moment he said in a low voice, "Just like you and Erdan, your father thinks I am the strongest person in the world., and he is weak, he feels that we cannot be together."

The so-called male protagonist is the strongest person in the world, right? And the cannon fodder Shen Tanqi refers to is probably because he is weak?

The goldfish scratched the shore, pondered for a while, and began to use his little brain: "Erdan and I can be together, of course you and daddy can be together."

Hearing this, Yu Ce tilted his chin, looked at the floating clouds in the distance, and sighed: "Still not."

Goldfish and taro balls are brothers, different from each other.

He didn't want to be in such a relationship with Shen Tanqi.

"Daddy."

Goldfish suddenly stared at him and said softly: "Sometimes, if you make a wrong decision, nothing can be undone. Didn't you tell me this?"

"What will you do if your father is gone one day?"

After the words fell, Yu Ce froze on the spot and opened his eyes slightly.

If Shen Tanqi is no longer here...

What is he going to do?

Shen Tanqi will eventually leave here. Even if he has feelings for the child, even if he has a life-saving grace for him, it is not enough to make Shen Tanqi stay here willingly.

At that time, after Shen Tanqi leaves, what will he and the children do?To this day, can he still believe as firmly as Hidden Dragon Valley did at that time that he can let Shen Tanqi leave in style?

A wrong decision, a seemingly innocuous hesitation, may cause him to lose the most important thing and never see each other again forever. Can he really bear such a result?

Yu Ce stretched out his hand and put it on his chest.

Does it jump very fast?

he asked himself.

No, never.

But when he thought that Shen Tanqi would leave, his heart felt as if a gap had been dug out, and countless cold winds howled in, making his limbs cold.

The pain was so painful that he was almost suffocating. The scene in front of him was all blurred. He suddenly passed by the golden mandarin duck quilt that had been prepared for Shen Tanqi, the Dragon Clan jade pendant that was left to Shen Tanqi and would never be told to anyone else, and those days and nights.The name I shouted when I woke up from a dream.

Shen Tan paint, Shen Tan paint.

He thought silently in his heart.

Senior brother is wrong.

His heart was not beating fast enough because he had been pretending to be a person since a long time ago. He cherished it too much and was too cautious, so he did not dare to speak or think about it, for fear of being rude or avoiding regrets, which made him embarrassed to advance and retreat.

Doesn’t this count as not liking it——

A flash of light suddenly passed before his eyes, and he closed his eyes subconsciously. Then he didn't know what he thought of, and couldn't help but smile softly.

It turns out that dazzling is not only experienced when the heart is excited.

Brother, you are really wrong.

If you like it, how could you not like it.

I liked it a long time ago.

"Wow - Daddy, what a big fish, so beautiful." The goldfish caught a big fish, and the floating light came from the shining fish scales. He smiled and said, "I can keep the fish."Come down and take care of it every day, father?"

Yu Ce lowered his eyelashes and stood quietly for a long time. Under the child's confused eyes, he suddenly said: "Well, keep him."

The goldfish said happily: "Do you agree?"

"Well," Yu Ce narrowed his eyes and fell on the fish, with a gentle smile and a faint light in his eyes, "then keep him."

He did everything he could to make Shen Tanqi stay willingly.
