“Alright, I’ll clean it up now.”
Bai Ze took the Flaming Antelope happily and ran off to clean it up.
Yan Feng and Long Xuan followed him naturally. Qian Jiyun chuckled as he watched Bai Ze leave.
“What are you laughing at?” An Jiuyue turned around and asked.
“Ah Ze has smiled more lately than he has in all these years,” Qian Jiyun said as he pulled her to a large rock and sat down. He pulled her into his arms.
He was originally taciturn but had become much more cheerful recently. This was a good sign.
“Jiuyue, Ah Ze seems to be born to follow you.”
He sometimes wondered if he had picked Bai Ze up for An Jiuyue. Why did Bai Ze talk so much in front of An Jiuyue? He never spoke much in front of him each day.
“Are you… jealous or relieved?” An Jiuyue looked up at Qian Jiyun.
She felt that it was both. Was Qian Jiyun conflicted?
“Both.” Qian Jiyun did not have anything to hide from her.
There was some sourness in his heart. His younger brother, whom he had raised for so many years, was close to his wife. What could he say? Nothing, right?
One was his wife, and the other was his younger brother, right?
“Jiuyue, I treat Ah Ze as my biological younger brother. How should I put this…” He was conflicted and did not know if he should tell her this a.n.a.logy.
“Closer than your relationship with Yiyun. Is that what you want to say?” An Jiuyue completed his unfinished sentence. She felt the same with An Zhiyi.
Although she found out later that An Zhiyi was not her biological younger brother, she still treated him as such. In fact, she was even closer to him than she might be with a biological younger brother.
It was not about making comparisons. They were honest opinions, so there was nothing wrong with being open about it.
“Mhm_ something like that ” Oian Tivng nodded and admitted that Rai 7.p was
closer to him than a younger brother.
An Jiuyue looked towards Bai Ze and said, “Actually, I treat him like my younger brother too.”
Qian Jiyun was speechless.
What did she mean? Bai Ze was probably older than her. Saying that he was like her younger brother did not seem… right?
However, he did not know how old Bai Ze was.
Even Bai Ze probably did not know. When he first met Bai Ze, he was… a street child. He was so small and did not even cry when a group of children bullied him.
The two of them sat on a large rock and chatted for a while before Bai Ze and the others returned with the Flaming Antelope that had been cleaned.
“That’s quite fast. Let’s roast it then.”
Before An Jiuyue could do anything, Qian Jiyun stood up and took the Flaming Antelope.
An Jiuyue had just recovered from her injuries, so he would not let her tire herself out. He had seen An Jiuyue roast meat a few times and knew how to do it.
“Jiuyue, rest. I’ll do it,” he instructed An Jiuyue, who was about to get up, before instructing Bai Ze and the other two to get busy.
“I think I smell roasted meat.”
After killing a demonic beast and walking some more, the man, who was dragging an increasingly injured Zhao Xi, remarked.
He really smelled the fragrance of roasted meat and wondered if the demonic beasts in the Demon Heart Vortex knew how to roast meat.. Did they not eat raw meat?
