Sure enough, what King Yan said next made Xu Ran speechless and even want to beat him up.
King Yan continued after saying those words, “But if Zheng fall in love with someone else, you can’t stop him. After all, he is in a different position now.I can get him whoever he wants.”
Even though most of the childe with high status were SUB, but there were also a loft of TOP. If Liu Tong was not a childe, there would be a lot of people who liked him. What King Yan meant was that Xu Ran just one of Liu Tong’s men-in-waiting .
Xu Ran was thinking about how to answer King Yan, so that he wouldn’t think so in the future when Liu Tong suddenly rushed in. “I won’t have anyone else. I only want Ran. If you are really my brother, then you shouldn’t ruin my life. I’m living well now and I don’t want anyone else to intervene.”
King Yan and Xu Ran were dumbfounded, especially King Yan. His brother found out that he wanted to find a man for him and he was very angry. What should he do?
Xu Ran reacted quickly and pulled Liu Tong over and comforted him, “Tongtong, don’t be angry. He’s doing it for your own good. I know you won’t, just the two of us.”
When Liu Tong heard Xu Ran’s words, he felt a little aggrieved. He still remembered how sad he felt when he thought Xu Ran might marry someone else more. He had already felt it once, but now the king Yan had let Xu Ran feel it again. Liu Tong had never been so angry as now.
Xu Ran hugged Liu Tong and buried his head on his shoulder. He gently patted his back and said, “It’s okay,Tongtong. I’m not upset. I know what he said isn’t true. You won’t want anyone else. Don’t be sad, okay?”
“Ran, Ran,” Liu Tong kept calling Xu Ran’s name when he was weak, as if to confirm his existence.
All this travel has caused physical fatigue. When he saw the older brother, who looked exactly like him, he was not ready yet to accept him. When he heard this, Liu Tong couldn’t help but feel more uncomfortable.
Xu Ran comforted Liu Tong while dropping King Yan a hint, asking him to say that what he just said was just a joke and Liu Tong should not take it seriously.
King Yan was also frightened. After he got Xu Ran’s hint, he said quickly , “Zheng, don’t be sad. I didn’t mean that. I’m worried that he will fail you, so I’m scaring him like this. I won’t say it again if you don’t like it. And if anyone else wants to break you up in the future, I will punch him for you, okay?”
“Ran won’t let me down!” Liu Tong replied to King Yan with certainty.
King Yan covered his face. He made his younger brother angry before he could accept him. What should he do?
Although he was misunderstood, Xu Ran was still very happy to be protected by Liu Tong.
He said to Liu Tong, “Well, Tongtong, please do not be angry. King Yan said that because he was worried that I would fail you. Don’t be angry with him. There won’t be anyone else anyway, right?”
Liu Tong nodded and said that he got it. He parted with Xu Ran and looked straight at King Yan. “I was about to accept you, but you shouldn’t say something like this. I’ve lived with Ran for so many years and survived from the most difficult days. I believe he won’t fail me.And I won’t let him down, too. Let me think again whether I want a brother as a King.”
Liu Tong said that and took Xu Ran to leave, regardless of the reaction of King Yan.
They walked along the way they had come, and as they walked Xu Ran laughed.
Liu Tong looked back at him in confusion, “Ran, what are you laughing at?”
Xu Ran said while smiling, “I’m laughing because my Tongtong is amazing! You just threatened a king.”
Speaking of this, Liu Tong patted his chest with have a lingering fear and returned to his usual temper. He asked Xu Ran, “Ran, do you think he will blame us? After all, he is the king.”
Xu Ran shook his head. “I don’t think he will. He really wants you to accept him and is waiting for your response. He is actually very attentive to you. He found us seven years ago, but he never forced us to come to Yanzhou let us live in peace for so long.If it hadn’t been for the plague, we should have been like before until…”
Xu Ran didn’t say until what because he didn’t want him to hear it because it was too treason and heresy.
After Xu Ran stopped, Liu Tong stared at him, as if waiting for his following words.
Xu Ran shook his head and said. “Nothing, Tongtong, you have to decide whether to accept this brother. I also told him to help us look for a house. Whether you accept him or not, we have to move out . Then we will start some small business and support the family. Yanzhou is much better than Xu Village and it is good for the children. We can go back in a few years.”
Liu Tong lowered his voice and said to Xu Ran, “Ran, in fact, when I met him, I felt like he was really my brother. I want to get close to him, but I don’t know if that’r right.”
Xu Ran scratched his nose and said with a smile, “What’s wrong with that? You are twins, just like Tangtang and Guoguo. It’s normal for you to be close.”
“But…” Liu Tong hesitated.
Xu Ran asked him, “But what?” Do you have any other concerns? ”
“Ran, I’m still a little worried. He’s the king after all. Would he think I accepted him because of his status? I want nothing from him, you know that, Ran.”
Xu Ran pinched his face and said, “Why do you think so much? If he really thinks so, he wouldn’t try togo find you. I’ve never seen you think that much before. If you want to accept him, I definitely won’t stop you. In fact, you don’t have much of an impression of your father. After so many years, it’s not bad for you to accept King Yan.You can talk to him sometime so that you can make a decision.”
Liu Tong thought about it and nodded. “Ran, I got it.”
Xu Ran and Liu Tong did not talk too long, by the light of the lamp they walked back to the courtyard where they lived.
It was very lively there. Baozi was talking to those two children who were older than him. Xu Ran and the others could faintly hear words like home, south, and road.
He guessed that Baozi was telling people that he was not native and he was from the South.
After Xu Ran walked in, he found that the two children looked very like King Yan. Baozi was talking with great enthusiasm, and the two children were sitting on the stone stools and listening attentively. They didn’t notice the arrival of Xu Ran and Liu Tong. Xu Ran put his finger to his mouth and gestured for Liu Tong to be quiet. Liu Tong nodded understandingly.
After a while, Xu Ran found that more and more people were gathering in the yard, but no one said a word. They were looking at the three children who were sitting on the stone stools and communicating with each other.
However, the children noticed it. They stopped and looked up.
Baoziand stood up in surprise after he saw Xu Ran and Liu Tong , “Dad, Daddy, you’re back! I met two new friends, Dad. Come here and I’ll tell you.”
Baozi came over and grabbed Xu Ran’s hand. Xu Ran obediently walked over and listened to his introduction. “Dad, they are the children of Daddy’s brother. This brother is called Yan Lan, and he is a childe like me. This brother is called Yan Hao, he is a kid, Yan Lan brother, Yan Hao brother, this is my Daddy. And the two that look exactly alike are my two brothers, you can also call them brother. By the way, what should you call my Dad and Daddy?”
Baozi seemed to be stumped by this question, and Yan Lan and Yan Hao also seemed to be considering seriously about it.
Xu Ran laughed and patted him. “Why are you acting like a grown-up? Who did you get that tone of voice from? Yan Lan and Yan Hao are your cousin. As for what they should call me and your Daddy, I am not very sure.”
After so many years, Xu Ran still couldn’t figure out what to call him. If you do it in modern terms, they should call him uncle, and call Liu Tong aunt, but it doesn’t seem appropriate here.
Xu Ran turned his eyes to Liu Tong, and so did the three children. Liu Tong had already made the decision to accept King Yan, so he didn’t act coyly. “I am the brother of your Dad. You can call me Uncle. As for him, you can call him Uncle, too.”
Yan Lan and Yan Hao are obviously good boys. When they heard Liu Tong say this, they obediently called out. Liu Tong met his relatives directly without informing King Yan.
Xu Ran also understood that Liu Tong took himself as the king’s brother, not sister, so he wouldn’t have to worry about making a fool of himself in the future.
Then Xu Ran called out all the people standing around to get to know each other.
It seemed that Yan Lan and Yan Hao had a good impression of his family.
They greeted everyone obediently.
Then Xu Ran and the others also saw King Yan’s husband who came to find the children.
He was a little startled to see his children were with a group of strangers, but after he saw Liu Tong, all the shock disappeared. He said with a smile, “You look exactly like him. You are finally here, and the kinge can rest easy now.”
The King Yan’s husband looked very gentle, with a faint smile on his face, which was easy to make people feel good.
The following part would not be long. It would be over at the beginning of next month, so everyone can start reading now.
