Yue Ning was so annoyed he almost slapped Third Brother away, but he managed to hold back in time.
Huffing and puffing, he once again pushed Third Brother away as he stuck to him.
How did this person become such a pushover? Always listless, and seemingly loving nothing more than to lean on others.
With a look of deep sighs and short lament, Shujun said, "Really boring."
His slender and fair fingers, like tender shoots of green jade, gently poked Yue Ning’s cheek.
"Always with such a stern face, you look just like a grumpy old man, what a pity for such good looks."
Unable to bear it any longer, Yue Ning kicked towards Third Brother, but Third Brother, as if he had anticipated it, lithely dodged to the side, avoiding Yue Ning’s flying kick.
"See? Same old, same old. You always get angry at the drop of a hat."
He looked genuinely regretful, as if it was incomprehensible to him.
Even the youngest Yixuan among the six brothers had good manners, and Fourth Brother Haoming, though a bit dull, had a decent brain, especially in serious matters where he could endure when needed. But among all the brothers, fifth-ranked Yue Ning, with his volatile temper, suffered so much, yet he never learned his lesson. Where others grew wiser from experiences, he...
He’d remember what to eat but never the beatings, never learning from his mistakes.
Yue Ning was extremely annoyed, "How I am is none of Third Brother’s business to reprimand! After all, not everyone is like you, Third Brother, embracing the attention of all indiscriminately, regardless of gender, with a scandalous reputation!"
Yue Ning spoke without thinking in his anger, and upon regaining his senses, he felt somewhat regretful.
He had forgotten that Dong Dabao, that stinking woman, was still there. In the past, Third Brother, just like himself, had suffered his share of beatings. But the reasons for their punishments were different.
He was punished for his uncontrollable temperament, always clashing with that ugly thing, whereas Third Brother was chastised for his frivolous behavior and for serving himself at "Sky Blue Building," gaining a reputation for being promiscuous. Dong Dabao always scolded Third Brother for being shameless and imprudent, thus never holding back when doling out beatings.
Shujun’s expression became slightly reserved. He lowered his eyes, his lips, temptingly thin, slightly pursed, and his profile emanated a touch of sorrow and loneliness.
Yue Ning felt incredibly awkward, he could even hear his own heartbeat, while that clownish creature beside him seemed to have wolfish light emanating from its wide eyes.
These two brothers were so loving, it sparked endless imagination!!
Suddenly, Shujun’s cry came, his teary phoenix eyes filled with grievance, "Look? My fifth brother is bullying me!"
He twisted his lascivious and delicate body, clearly a debauched man, yet he loved to put on an affected air.
Dong Huiying coughed softly, "How did I get here?"
She looked around. The small room wasn’t very big, and she was sitting on a wooden plank bed. This wasn’t the Liang family house, for their homes had earthen kangs.
A glimmer of amusement flashed in Shujun’s eyes.
Fifth Brother had a sharp tongue, but he was not the type to stay angry with his own brother over such a trivial matter. His previous show of distress was just an act.
The seductively beautiful man, languid and charming, walked towards Dong Huiying.
"Earlier, you fell ill, running a high fever that wouldn’t subside, so Fourth Brother carried you to town. Since the clinic wasn’t open yet, I took charge and had Fourth Brother bring you here to my place."
"I see..." She adopted a dazed and cute look, with a small tuft of hair sticking up on her head.
