    Chapter 52 Love’s Favorite Xie Donghai: (smile.jpg)…

    When Xie Donghai first saw Yan Bugui, the latter was still a small dumpling, huddled in the corner of the cave and shivering.When the Penglai elder appeared in front of Xiaotuanzi accompanied by lightning and thunder, the little guy’s round eyes were still filled with hazy mist, but the original subtle sobs gradually became softer, and he called out “big brother” to the visitor in a soft and weak voice.

    No one or non-human has ever called Xie Donghai “brother”. He is the youngest in that “family”, and he is the only one who calls him brother. Even if the little animal he raises is somewhat spiritual, it can only call him “master” a few times, and does not dare to get too close. Even in Penglai, he was a guest from the beginning, without any brothers or sisters, and later they all called him “elder”…

    Picking up the bloated little dumpling, Xie Donghai felt that the child was as soft as his voice, and he could crush it if he was stronger.

    It’s hard to tell whether Xiaotuanzi was confused because of the fever. He was in the arms of a stranger without any fear or panic. He even stretched out his hot little hand and held Xie Donghai’s index finger, repeating in his mouth: “Big brother…beautiful…big brother…”

    Xie Donghai once thought about it afterwards, if Xiaotuanzi called him “big sister” at that time, would he have left him alone?After thinking about it again and again, he finally felt that it shouldn’t be – because he is a kind and “good person”.Moreover, it would be too shameful to argue with human cubs.

    The little dumpling he picked up was indeed burned to death. He forgot his name and origin, and could only call him “brother”.He once took the child back to the original cave and stayed for a few days. No one came to look for him, so he took the child back to Penglai and raised him as a “little brother” – according to Liu Yuan’s later statement, they should have happened to stagger the time.

    He decided to name Xiao Tuanzi “Yan Bugui”. On the surface, it was just a perfunctory “This child is weak and sick and the name is easy to support.” In fact, it took several detours – the reason why he picked up this child was to find his goose that would not return. Although Xiao Tuanzi was already born when the wild goose died, he had just built the tomb for the wild goose and met him not far away. This was fate.

    As a human being, it is destined that Xiaotuanzi will have more lively thoughts than ordinary geese when he grows up. The birds will choose to leave, and people will naturally do the same.Furthermore, even if the other party wants to stay, how long can he stay?Compared with birds and livestock, it is more difficult for humans to break through the longevity limit, and no matter how hard they try, they cannot match the longevity of the mythical beasts——

    Since they were already destined to be separated, he used this name to remind himself to draw a line between them and not get too close.

    Before adopting Yan Bugui, Xie Donghai had never raised any living people, let alone ignorant children.Fortunately, Xiao Yan had people from Penglai assisting him in his daily life. Most of the time, his “brother” only had to teach the children reading, literacy, martial arts training, and how to behave… However, Yan Bugui’s level of worry was still somewhat beyond his expectations.

    During his years in Penglai, he watched with his own eyes many human cubs grow up, and how their parents raised these children with different temperaments.However, it turns out that many things are difficult to understand until you experience them yourself.

    From the age of six, Yan Bugui’s untamed nature has gradually emerged. Raising a child is different from raising poultry. He cannot completely smooth out the child’s wild nature. It took them several years of mutual support to slowly find a balance – but I have to say that it is quite a sense of accomplishment to raise the little wild goose to be “well-behaved and obedient” in the eyes of outsiders.

    Well, although in fact Yan Bugui’s “rebellion” has never stopped – he knows that he is wrong and shouldn’t do certain things, but sometimes the other party will knowingly do it, as if he is deliberately trying to provoke his temper.

    When Yan Bugui was thirteen years old, Xie Donghai decided to send him out of Penglai.He had considered this matter carefully. Firstly, Xiaoyan was indeed not suitable for Penglai martial arts. Secondly, they had been together for ten years, and they had lived and ate together for ten years. He needed to let the relationship cool down, which would be good for both of them.

    If Yan Bugui never came back like the wild goose, he would feel regretful, but it would only be a regret. He would follow the other person’s wishes and gradually open the distance between them – even if Yan Bugui still wears the scales that he had shed for a day, he would be able to sense the general direction of the other person.

    But Xie Donghai didn’t expect that his little goose not only hid his scales on his body every day and never left them behind; but no matter how busy he was, he would take a day or two every month to come back to Penglai to look for him. He was the most clingy among the living animals he had raised for so many years – his “brother” was actually quite pleased, which proved that he had not raised a white-eyed wolf.

    Until Yan Bugui was eighteen years old, the other party suddenly returned to Penglai overnight without warning, but secretly hid outside his residence and quietly watched his bedroom, but never made any other move.He couldn’t figure out Xiao Yan’s intention for a while, so he simply extinguished the candle and pretended to sleep, waiting to see what would happen next.

    Xiaoyan was quite cautious and stayed outside for a while before gently opening the door and entering the room.But Xie Donghai really didn’t expect that Yan Bugui came back this time to kiss him on the lips.And with just a quick glance, he ran back to Daozong overnight, and within two days he went directly to the Central Plains!

    After Yan Bugui’s touch that wasn’t even a kiss, Xie Donghai knew that he was going to die – he actually didn’t have any disgust, disgust or displeasure at all.He never liked getting too close to other people, and he didn’t like others touching any part of his body. Over the years, Yan Bugui was the only exception, and at first Xiao Yan only dared to touch his clothes.

    However, even if he acquiesces that Yan Bugui can hold his arm and hold his hand… it doesn’t mean that he will allow the other party to do such an overly intimate behavior.He thought he would be angry, but his anger was more because the other party had no explanation and suddenly left the Central Plains.

    From that night on, he realized that something beyond his control had happened – he realized that he may not have had a romantic relationship with Yan Bugui, but he definitely had a unique “love” for Xiaoyan.This “love” that I don’t know comes from friendship, family affection, or something else makes him extremely tolerant of everything Xiaoyan does.

    Although Xie Donghai hasn’t straightened out his thoughts yet, he wants Yan Bugui to explain to him.Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan ran away to the Central Plains without saying a word, with no sign of returning to the East China Sea. After receiving the “Letter from Yan No Return” from Dao Zong, which stated that he wanted to go into seclusion for further study, so he could only send letters in the next few years, he suddenly laughed angrily while holding the letter.

    If a person runs away, he will run away. Anyway, he needs time to calm down and think about what went wrong in their relationship.However, a certain little goose has been gone for two years, and every month for two years has been a pre-written letter full of nonsense.The Taoist elder of Penglai finally couldn’t bear it any longer and went to the Central Plains to look for the person himself – and then he saw someone bleeding in a similar mountain forest and similar cave.

    Yan Bugui has a special talent. His five senses and intuition are extraordinary. No one can beat him in the game of hide-and-seek, and no one can deceive him. As long as he has enough time, he can even see through the other person’s true inner thoughts – but this talent has no effect when facing the inhuman Xie Donghai.

    Therefore, Xiaoyan has been very persistent in “using” various small and big things to “stimulate” Xie Donghai since he was a child, so as to gradually explore and explore the emotional changes of his brother Xie.The effect is either non-existent, or it often puts him in it and makes him unable to climb out.

    The night after they reunited, during the “showdown” in the guest room, Yan Bugui’s words and actions could not be considered a confession, and Xie Donghai’s attitude was more like “denial”.During the following period, Xie Donghai said that he would take Yan Bugui to understand his true love, so he took Xiao Yan to see and get to know brothers and sisters, parents and children, and couples in one family after another, and then asked him seriously if he understood.

    Yan Bugui couldn’t guess what Xie Donghai was thinking. He didn’t know that his brother Xie was teasing him on the one hand, but on the other hand he was “rejecting and welcoming”, waiting for what else he could do for this, so that he could determine what their feelings were and whether he should fall into this relationship.

    Therefore, Yan Bugui, who had always thought that Xie Donghai was awake that night but did not stop him from kissing him because he had some feelings for him, became anxious. He was confused by Xie Donghai’s attitude that seemed determined to correct him, and it really made him do a “big thing”——

    One day, when they were passing by a small town, they saw a competition arena for contestants.Although he had already settled in the inn, he made an excuse to buy some food, and then suddenly jumped into the ring and fought all the way to the end. That evening, he put on his groom’s clothes and prepared to marry the girl.

    When Xie Donghai learned that his “brother” was invited to a wedding banquet, Yan Bugui failed to see his brother Xie at the first moment, looking like he was going to lock the person into a dark room and not see the light of day for a hundred years.

    But Xiaoyan was “lucky” to see Xie Donghai floating in the backyard of someone else’s house, looking down at him with a condescending smile, and to hear his brother Xie’s strange tone of voice whenever he got angry:

    “I knew you liked girls, and you were just joking with me before, but why are you so anxious? As the elder brother, I am the last person to know that you are getting married today, and I have not prepared any gifts. And do you know what to do in the bridal chamber? Don’t scare the bride… Why don’t you meet your future siblings? An ugly daughter-in-law also has to meet her father-in-law, or do you think I’m not worthy?”

    In fact, Yan Bugui, who had actually negotiated a fake marriage with the girl to help him elope with his sweetheart, did not tell them all about their plan. Instead, he reacted very quickly and asked: “Brother, don’t you want to see me get married to someone else?”

    Xie Donghai replied ambiguously: “I once raised a puppy. I would be a little unhappy when I saw it suddenly ran away with someone else’s dog. After all, we have been together for so many years. Humans are not grass and trees, and how can we be ruthless.”

    Yan Bugui followed up and asked: “Can you really watch me and others being skin-to-skin, intimate and indifferent? Watch me fall into the embrace of others, and see that I no longer belong to you. As long as you say ‘yes’, I will not continue to be entangled from now on, and I will find someone who likes me for the rest of my life.”

    However, Yan Bugui’s words made Xie Donghai realize that there might be something fishy about the matter, so he just replied: “It’s not fair to your bride for someone who is about to get married to say such childish words.”

    Yan Bugui also noticed this, so he took a step forward, stared into Xie Donghai’s eyes and said bluntly: “This wedding is fake, but it can also be real. It’s even easy for me to find a man and woman to spend the night with me – do you want to see it?”

    Xie Donghai didn’t want to, and he knew that there was a 50-50 chance that Yan Bugui would find such a person with his temper. When he realized that he could not accept the fact that his Xiaoyan was having sex with other people, he completely understood what he meant – he didn’t know when this love originated and when it spread in his heart, but he knew that “it” did exist, and that was enough.

    In the end, no one got married in this “wedding” – because the “brother” of the “groom” took the “groom” away, and then commanded the sea eagle Xueling to “capture” the “bride” and her sweetheart, and eloped together.

    Xie Donghai didn’t care whether the young couple were in a daze or in tears when they were “let” go.Anyway, at that time, Yan Bugui was accepting the “profound education” from his brother Xie because of his previous “big talk”.
