The 58th

  The atmosphere became somewhat quiet, the host didn't speak, and the guest didn't have the heart to speak either, until someone else came in from outside, breaking this atmosphere.

  Chu Lan hastily walked in, followed closely by a young man in a black robe who was surrounded by an aura of coldness that could be felt from afar.

  The butterfly flutters back, and as soon as it sees this, its whole body stiffens.

  Slowly, his eyes gradually dyed with pure joy, and his lips seemed to tremble slightly due to excitement.

  "Brother..."

  The young man stood up, the leather cloak that was tied around his neck slipped onto the chair, revealing his slender figure. He took a few steps forward, then suddenly ran towards the young man in black and threw himself into his arms.

  The young man's flexible arm softly wrapped around the youth's neck, and his head also rested on the youth's nape.

  As if sighing softly, as if murmuring in a low voice——

  "Brother, I've finally found you..."

  The sudden movement of the flower cicada startled everyone, who would have thought that this frail and weak young boy could run so fast?

  Especially Chu Lan, he came with that black-robed youth all the way, and truly saw the man's aloofness and coldness. To say nothing of approaching him, even getting a little closer would get you kicked away. Now seeing Hua Can being so bold, he couldn't help but secretly sweat for him in his heart.

  Hua Lun was not completely unresponsive, he first swayed a bit, as if wanting to dodge, but the next moment somehow he was pounced on by that young man and even let him stick close and rub back and forth, it was really strange.

  If that was all, it would be fine, just thinking that this cold and detached young man had a sudden burst of kindness, not wanting to let this weak young boy get hurt, but the next moment, Hua Lu's action really shocked Chu Lan so much that his eyes widened.

  He actually raised his hand and slowly wrapped it around the waist of Huācán, gently, as if extremely tender.

  Chu Lan was shocked to the point where her eyeballs were about to pop out, and everyone else's reaction wasn't much better, as they all changed color in unison. Chu Ci, being the host, was the first to come back to his senses and asked: "Is it true that Hua Shaoxia is indeed the older brother of the young master?"

  Chu Ci spoke up, and Hua Can turned his head back with a smile at the corner of his mouth, and a thin layer of blush floated onto his face: "Master Chu needn't be polite, this is my brother."

  Huā Lù Yuán was more than half a head taller than Huā Cán, and when the latter turned his head, only two soft arms were left hanging around Huā Lù Yuán's neck, while his body was supported by Huā Lù Yuán's hands, no longer stuck together.

  And everyone else at this time, looked clearly at the faces of the two people.

  Her eyebrows are like a painting, her skin is white and smooth as if it were made of peach blossoms, when she smiles, it reveals a refreshing elegance, while her demeanor is cold and frosty, as if ice and snow had been carved into her bones, her features are chiseled, like an exquisite jade carving that remains unmoved by the seven emotions.

  Upon closer inspection, the two indeed resembled each other in appearance, but Huā Lù's physique was sturdy and supple, while Huā Cán was slightly weaker. Moreover, their personalities and temperaments were vastly different, so at first glance, they didn't seem similar at all.

  Chu Ci looked through it once and his eyes stopped on Hua Lüe's body: "Hua Shao Xia?"

  "He is my brother." Huā Lù looked at the person in his arms and nodded, "That's right." Bào Tiān Huáng said seven words.

  Now everyone has no doubts. Even Hua Lu, who was quiet and didn't get close to people, broke the example, what else is there to suspect?

  But how these two people were really getting along at this time, no one knew.

  Huā cán's hand was indeed wrapped around Huā jiù's neck, but the palm was pressing against the large artery on the side of his neck. A slight movement of her fingernails would cause blood to gush out, and a flip of her wrist could have broken his cervical vertebrae. Meanwhile, Huā jiù's hand had also simultaneously landed on Huā cán's coccyx, and with just a bit of force, he could have paralyzed the person below him from the waist down, or with just a flexing of his fingers, he could have dug out her tailbone.

  This scene was something they had been used to since they were three years old, and this atmosphere was absolutely not true and harmonious.

  After leaning in intimately for a while, Huā Cán tiptoed and leaned into Huā Jù's ear, whispering with a smile: "My brother, shall we let go together or make our move together?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Zhen released his hand, and Hua Can slightly hesitated, softly chuckling with a gentle voice that was even softer: "Brother trusts me so much, it really makes me ashamed." He said, also putting down his hand, turning around to smile and say, "I haven't seen my brother for many years, I lost my manners for a moment, making the host of the Chu family and all the knights laugh at me."

  "It's just human nature, no need for excessive courtesy, young master." Chu Ci waved her hand and said, "Please, both of you, take a seat."

  Chu Lan also said: "Hua Dage is my lifesaver, Xiao Can, if you continue to be so distant, it's me who will feel embarrassed!"

  Bamboo jade slapped a fan on Chu Lan's head: "Little Lan, you didn't even ask if I was willing to bother with you, how come you're shouting like this?"

  "Ouch!" Chu Lan cried out, while Hua Can was already sitting next to Hua Lun, their seats close together, looking quite intimate. As soon as Hua Can sat down, he lifted his head and smiled, saying: "It's all right with me, Young Master Chu can call me whatever he likes." His voice was soft and gentle, like a spring breeze, and it immediately stopped the commotion caused by Chu Lan.

  "Then don't call me 'young master' or anything like that, it's annoying. Just call me 'Chu Lan'. Chu Lan hugged his head and suddenly stuck his face out from under his arm to ask, "By the way, Xiao Can, how old are you? You look a bit younger than me. If you can call me 'Brother Chu', I'll be delighted!"

  He was so capricious, but the silkworm didn't mind. At this time, he took over the tea cup handed by the servant and sipped a mouthful, smiled and replied: "In two more months, I will be sixteen years old."

  "Huh?" Chu Lan's eyes widened, "I'm seventeen this year, you said you and Hua Gege are twins, doesn't that mean Hua Gege is also under sixteen?"

  "It's true." Huacan put the teacup on the side table, and a soft curve appeared at the corner of his lips. "I was weak in my youth, and I didn't learn any martial arts. After taking all sorts of medicines, I ended up looking like this. My brother learned internal skills, so naturally his physique is much better than mine."

  "Hua Da Ge is younger than me, but I've always called him that, so I'll just keep calling him that." Chu Lan understood and scratched his hair, seeming a bit worried. "Besides, even if Hua Da Ge calls me brother, I wouldn't dare."

  The butterfly flutters its lips and smiles without speaking.

  But then Lin Muqing interrupted, "The young master's body doesn't seem to be in good health, and having been separated from his brother for so many years... could it be that the illness was rooted back then?" Although he asked with some detail, his tone was warm and gentle, making it impossible for anyone to feel offended.

  Next to Fang Di, Hua Can put on a new fur coat. He pulled up the collar and seemed to think that the sleeve was too tight, so he rolled up his right sleeve, revealing a white arm: "I and my brother were originally born in a wealthy family, with some assets at home, our parents loved each other, and we two brothers got along well. When I was three years old, on a spring day, my father took the whole family out for an outing, and on the way, they saw the beautiful spring scenery and stopped to make tea... but unexpectedly encountered robbers who killed my father, and my mother took advantage of the chaos to push my brother and me into a nearby bush, barely escaping with our lives. However, she herself was not able to escape, and the two maidservants and more than ten attendants who went out with us were all killed."

  He sighed softly: "I was only three years younger than my brother, and we were both panicked and ran wildly in the forest. We were all hungry and thirsty, and eventually fainted... When I woke up, there was no sign of my brother." He paused, his eyes moved to Huā Lù's body, as if asking a question.

  Huā Lù also took a glance at him: "Looking for wild fruit, was taken away by Master." Which served as an answer to Huā Cán's question.

  Everyone knew at once, each with a sigh, presumably when the elder brother was worried about his younger brother, he thought of going to find some food to fill his younger brother's belly first. Who would have thought that he would be taken away by idle people in the mountains and accepted as a disciple? From then on, they lost contact with their younger brother. Such a misunderstanding has caused the two brothers to be separated for more than ten years, which is really regrettable.

  "It turns out that's the case." Hua Can nodded, "When I woke up, I didn't see my brother, and I cried loudly, but it attracted the people who saved me. They were the couple with the surname Hua, who later adopted me as their son. They are not only relatives but also saved my life. It seems that we have a predestined relationship, so I called them parents." These words served as an explanation to Hua Lie.

  He then lifted his head: "After I figured out where I was, I asked about my brother's whereabouts. That's when I heard from my adoptive father that at the time, only one person was seen." As he spoke, a hint of bitterness appeared on his lips. "I fainted in the mountains and caught a cold wind, which weakened my body. Even with Mother's expensive care over the years, I couldn't fully recover. Compared to when I was young, I'm slightly better now, but at least I can move around freely."

  "In the lower courtyard, how did young master find out where Hua Shaoye was?" Zhu Yu turned her body and asked with some curiosity.

  A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes: "My adoptive father passed away four years ago, and my adoptive mother worried herself to illness, passing away just a year later. I spent three years mourning, then heard that Bian Yang had a place where information could be bought and sold, so I came looking for it...". His gaze brightened, "But unexpectedly, on the way here, I heard rumors of someone with a similar face to mine appearing, also walking this road. My heart was joyful, so I chased after him." He turned his head towards Hua Lun, "Indeed, it's brother!"

  This speech was flawless, Chu Ci adjusted his expression and said: "As for the matter of your honorable father and mother, please restrain your grief, young master."

  "It's already a great blessing in misfortune to be able to reunite with elder brother." Huasong nodded his head, thanking Chudie for her kind words of comfort.

  Things were more or less understood, and for a moment no one spoke.

  At this time, Chu Ci pushed his seat and stood up, repeatedly apologizing: "Young Master Hua has traveled far to find his relatives, bringing only two attendants, I'm sure it's been very tiring. Looking at my negligence, I should have let Young Master rest first." As he spoke, he beckoned a few servants to come over and arrange for Hua Can to live in another quiet and secluded house.

  Huā cán qǐ shēn tuī dào: "Chǔ jiā zhǔ wù xū rú cǐ fèi xīn, zài xià yǔ xiōng zhǎng duō nián wèi jiàn, zhèng kě tóng zhù yī chù. Zhì yú liǎng gè shì cóng, jiù qǐng Chǔ jiā zhǔ suí yì ān pái biàn le."

  The flower-like girl was cold, Chu Ci still looked at him, waiting for him to speak.

  The flower silkworm also looked back, with a clear and calm look in her eyes, softly asking: "Brother, let me live with you, okay? Just like when we were young."

  "Good." Huā Lù replied without hesitation.

  Hua Can's eyes sparkled with amusement, Hua Lie stood up, bowed his head to Chu Ci and said "goodbye", then grabbed Hua Can's wrist and pulled him away.

  Gu Cheng Wan and Fang Di hastily followed up, while everyone else stood up and saw them off.
