Once his Brother knew, he would not just casually let it go.
Xie Tingxing struggled for a long time and gave up lying, saying, “It’s that He from the Academy.”
Surname He?
Xie Tingyue frowned and remembered a dusty past, “That chubby little guy wearing gold and silver? He bullied you again?”
“That’s right, even though he’s so fat, he still dares to look down on me. I’m much thinner than him! Skipping classes and cheating doesn’t count as a blow to my head, but he has learned to gang up on me.” Xie Tingxing puffed up his face and exclaimed angrily, “Showing off his wealth, buying some pine nut candies to buy people’s hearts, and saying his Uncle treats him much better — bah! Why buy some pine nut candies to coax useless greedy cats with money? If he has the ability, bribe the Teacher! No matter how nice his Uncle is, I have never seen him receive some things that his Uncle had sent. Apart from money, he doesn’t give anything. He’s just a child without a Father or Mother. It’s no use trying to show off his cleverness!”
Xie Tingyue tapped his finger at the table and said in a slightly heavy voice, “Xie Tingxing!”
The child trembled and immediately turned serious, “I don’t mock him for having no Father or Mother! I… aren’t I the same?”
“But I have an older Brother who likes me and loves me the most and always thinks about me in everything. I’m a child who has someone to love, and doing the same thing as him, how degrading it is to do something that’s in bad taste!” The child came over and hugged Xie Tingyue’s arm, smiling obediently. “Don’t worry, Brother. Who is he that can bully me? I have beaten him up several times, I haven’t suffered any losses at all.”
Xie Tingyue squinted and said, “So just now…”
“I just saw that Uncle Chu likes me and played with him like a spoiled child.” Xie Tingxing explained in a hurry, quietly turning his head away. He looked at Chu Mu with a fierce expression and threatened for him to speak well.
Chu Mu smiled and raised his eyes, standing on the platform for his Brother-in-Law and saying, “Yes.”
The child immediately straightened his back and looked at his Brother with grievances, Look! Don’t misunderstand me!
Xie Tingyue’s gaze slid past Chu Mu and turned to his chubby little Brother who was blinking cutely, “It’s getting late, you should go back now,” he said.
The child’s expression immediately changed.
His eyes became misty and pitiful. His chubby little paws carefully grabbed the hem of Xie Tingyue’s clothes, as his voice trembled and softened, “Can I sleep with my Brother today?”
Xie Tingyue turned serious and spoke in a slightly louder voice, “Xie Tingxing!”
The child immediately understood, no way.
He lowered his head and rubbed against the chair, muttering, “Then I’ll go back now. Brother, take care…”
Xie Tingyue sighed, “I’ll see you off.”
The child’s eyes immediately lit up again, “Really?”
Xie Tingyue nodded at Chu Mu and took his Younger Brother’s hand, “Let’s go.”
The Chu family’s residence was very big, and the way outside was very quiet.
Xie Tingyue held his Younger Brother’s hand, feeling very worried as he kept reminding him, “Don’t be naughty when you go back. Listen to Luo Momo, everything can be discussed and if you have any problems, come find your Brother… Study hard in the Academy and don’t bully others for no reason, but if someone bullies you, don’t be afraid, just don’t be impulsive. You must tell your Brother if there is anything…”
“Okay, I got it, Brother, don’t lecture anymore!”
Xie Tingxing dug his ears casually, his words disdainful, but his small face turned red with a smile, clearly enjoying it.
Elder Brother’s concern and casual thoughts were very annoying, just like other people’s Mothers, but this kind of Brother… was really the Brother.
This privilege was only available to himself!
The child laughed like a fool.
“Next time you come here, don’t bring any more knives.”

Xie Tingxing pursed his lips tightly and his eyes were stubborn.
Xie Tingyue sighed, “I and Chu Mu are already husband and wife, and our interests are the same. If you hurt him, you will hurt me.”
The child immediately exploded, like a fierce little wolf, “Brother and he are not the same. He is him, Brother is Brother!”
Xie Tingyue frowned, “Do you think he likes me? He has good morals and a gentleman’s grace, which is why he tolerates me and puts up with you!”
The child went even crazier, “Brother is so good, why doesn’t he like you? He’s not a gentleman at all, he just wants to dominate Brother!”
Xie Tingyue pinched his eyebrows, slightly disappointed, “… Is that what you think?”
The child looked at his Elder Brother and let out all his anger. His eyes turned red and his eyes were moist, saying, “Well… he’s going to die. Brother, remember to take care of yourself and run home immediately.”
Xie Tingyue angrily patted the child’s buttocks, “Is that how I taught you?”
The child was about to shed tears, but still didn’t admit it, stubbornly looking aside.
“He has helped me a lot. If it weren’t for his heartfelt help, many things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly.” Xie Tingyue sighed and flicked his Younger Brother’s forehead. “There is a debt of gratitude, understand?”
The child wrapped himself in tears and hugged his brother’s waist, feeling extremely sad, “Understand…”
He remembered what his Brother taught.
Xie Tingyue: “Then shouldn’t Brother take care of Chu Mu?”
“Brother, I was wrong…” The child clenched his fist tightly, and a shattered light flashed through his eyes. “But I can repay him! Brother owes him, I’ll pay him back! I will respect him, I’ll find medicine for him, I’ll help him with anything, and I’ll repay him a thousand times as I grow up! Brother… don’t like him, just like me, okay?”
“I only have my Brother, and my Brother only has me. We are Brothers that even if the bones are broken the tendons are still attached, with the same blood flowing in our bodies…”
The child couldn’t help but hold onto Xie Tingyue tightly and burst into tears.
Xie Tingyue let out a long sigh, picked up his Younger Brother, and gently patted his back.
At the end of the corridor, Chu Mu sat in a wheelchair, standing beside Qin Ping.
“Master, it seems that Madam… knows everything.”
Unlike the guard’s surprise, Chu Mu’s emotions were very stable, just like the smile on his face, “Madam is very smart, it’s a hundred years too early for the little brat to deceive him.”
Qin Ping glanced at his Master.
If you are calm then be calm, if you are not surprised, then be not surprised. Why was there such a sense of pride in your smile?
He reminded, “Madam knew that the Young Master had brought a knife and did not stop him from approaching the Master.”
Chu Mu smiled, “He knows the little one doesn’t know how to take action.”
Qin Ping said, “There is always a contingency -”
Children’s impulses were the most uncontrollable and should also be guarded against.
Chu Mu’s smile deepened as he said, “I also know that there won’t be any unforeseen circumstances.”
Everyone has emotional impulses, but impulsiveness and behavior were two different things.
Xie Tingxing was very aggressive and courageous, but his eyes were clear and upright. Although he was young, he had a clear understanding of right and wrong, and knew that some things must never be done….
Xie Tingyue taught him very well.
Qin Ping said, “Does Madam know that you also know, Master?”
Chu Mu’s eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, and he didn’t speak.
Qin Ping boldly said, “Madam doesn’t seem to be very familiar with the Master.”
Chu Mu stroked his jaw.
Qin Ping said, “The Master seems to be very familiar with his wife.”
Chu Mu’s gaze calmly shot over, soaking in the cold moon in the tide, warning silently, cold and sharp.
Qin Ping dared not delve deeper and immediately changed the topic, “Ah, the Young Master urged Madam to leave immediately in case you have an accident.”
Chu Mu’s eyes curved into a meaningful smile and he said, “I’m really sorry, I’m going to disappoint him.”
Qin Ping: “The Young Master said that Madam should only like him and not you.”
Chu Mu’s eyebrows twitched slightly.
Qin Ping: “It seems that Madam didn’t say no, he just taught the Young Master not to disrespect you.”
Chu Mu’s smile gradually faded away.
Qin Ping: “The Young Master said he will repay what he owes you. He will work hard to serve you. He and Madam are the relatives, and you, the Master, is an outsider.”
Chu Mu turned around in his wheelchair and sneered, “Heh, childish, lacking discipline.”
Qin Ping quickly pushed into the wheelchair. Wasn’t he the one who was listening in the corner?
Chu Mu’s eyebrows turned to a faint reflection and said, “When Xie Tingxing goes back to the Academy… take care of him and don’t let him suffer.”
Qin Ping responded, “Yes.”
Chu Mu said, “And that blue herb, throw it out.”
Qin Ping became anxious and said, “Master, think twice! This blue-green herb is very helpful for your condition, but it is also very rare. We worked so hard to get two. Once it is snatched away, we may not be able to get them back!”
Chu Mu said in his mouth, “I know.”
“Then you still…”
“I have a plan in mind.”
Chu Mu’s icy gaze came over, and Qin Ping no longer dared to speak.
“It’s time to remind him about family matters…” Chu Mu murmured and suddenly smiled, “I think I should be sick soon.”
Qin Ping’s eyes almost popped out.
Master, are you still sober?! You are currently sick, why do you want to get more sick?!
Is someone going to have bad luck!
**********
Xie Tingyue saw off his Younger Brother and returned to his room, while Chu Mu was waiting for him.
A small red clay stove was placed on the table, with a lively charcoal fire inside. There was a wine vessel on top to heat the wine, two green plums were thrown in.
“Madam said he would accompany me for a drink.”
He sat at the table, dressed in a jade white robe, with elegant eyebrows and eyes, a charming smile, and a gentleman like picture.
Xie Tingyue smiled and sat down at the table, personally heating the wine and holding a cup. “Xing’er came over today… I’m sorry,” he said.
Chu Mu smiled, “Your Younger Brother is still young. When I was at his age, I also did many wayward things.”
No matter how you listen, you feel that this statement has a profound meaning.
Chu Mu was afraid that he didn’t know what his foolish Younger Brother had done, just to see through but not to reveal it?
Xie Tingyue looked up in shock, and the other party responded with a smile, gentle and unfathomable.
Xie Tingyue had a clear understanding in his heart.
It was such a pity that such a smart person could not realize his ambitions because of physical illness.
Feeling a sigh in his heart, Xie Tingyue suddenly remembered that if the other party could see through his Younger Brother, he must also be able to see through him——
Without any prior connections, there was no pre-existing relationship, there was trouble before and suddenly he agreed to marry him. For what reason, the motive was not simple, and Chu Mu must have a clear understanding in his heart.
Knowing but not caring, even cooperating to help
Xie Tingyue suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart, “Why are you… treating me so well?”
“Hmm?” Chu Mu grabbed the slender fingers of the wine cup and suddenly leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed on him quietly. The tide in his eyes surged with ambiguity and warmth, “What reason do I have to be bad to my wife?”
Xie Tingyue’s face suddenly felt a little hot.
Don’t… play like this.
The trace of fear in his heart has long disappeared in this atmosphere, replaced by more embarrassment and introspection.
Wasn’t he not sure how to repay the other party? If Chu Mu had any requests for him, wouldn’t it be just right? No, he still needed to find a way….
Chu Mu had something he wanted, and it seemed like he could give what Chu Mu wanted, although he didn’t know what it was.
Exactly.
Xie Tingyue felt it was appropriate, but at the same time he was a little confused.
It was like the other party had weaved a dense and solid net, dug a well-dug hole and controlled the field. When he came to collide, he really foolishly and hastily jumped into it.
“Have we met before?”
The question came up effortlessly.
Chu Mu’s eyes paused, and then a smile welled up in his eyes, “Do you remember?”
Dun dun duuuuuun. Thank you for the chapter!
OOOOOOH! (⑉⊙ȏ⊙) I need to know more about this! And I think someone is a very childish and jealous and it isn’t a little brat XTX~ (ಡ艸ಡ)
Thank You for the new chapter（*’∀’人）♥
Of course your laogong just wants your heart~
I really do wonder for what he is staying/pretending to be sick, because it obviously isn’t as life threatening as he makes it out to be🤔 and when will he take off the sheeps mask to reveal the wolf hehe
hmmmm, I don’t think the illness is fake looking at how his people said it was a waste to throw away precious medicinal materials, but to some extent, I guess it’s exaggerated… But he probably has it in control don’t worry!!!
Guys! Guys! Go look in the title page the tag says [double rebirth] I’m assuming that means two people were reborn!!!! It’s confirmed ml is also a reborn person~
