Chapter 118: Good brothers are meant to share a wife!

~8 min read 1,421 words

Arguing with Chinu is just arguing, but Du Shanü is certainly not someone who dares to act but won't admit it.

Personal matters aren't public affairs; they're never decided blindly by one person.

She can't give up on just anyone's matter; Chinu already knows.

So now, naturally Yu Baobao must also be told.

But, when it really comes to saying these words......

Not being nervous is definitely impossible.

She speaks for Yu Baobao in front of Chinu, and in front of Yu Baobao she will surely also speak for Chinu.

Chinu, full of resentment and jealousy, has already caused a big commotion.

And Yu Baobao......

Yu Baobao blinked her big eyes, after a few breaths seemed to grasp something, and exclaimed:

What! Such a thing actually exists! (astonished)

"I and Nu Nu have been brothers for so many years, yet he lets you touch him but not me!"

"......" said the originally tormented and waiting Du Shanü.

"What's with the touching or not touching!"

"Is this the key!"

"If those two really 'bump' into each other, wouldn't that cause a big problem!"

"The key is her!"

"Her and Chinu!"

"Du Shanü conceded, but not completely, and weakly spoke again:"

"Actually, it's not the 'bump' you think, but rather...... touching."

That night, thunder raged wildly.

That splash of bright color, from now on walks alone between heaven and earth, lingering in people's hearts.

Du Shanü thought this time Yu Baobao would surely understand, yet Yu Baobao was again greatly surprised:

"Exactly! What I originally said was touching!"

"I've known Chinu for over ten years; the time I've known him is longer than the time I haven't, yet he never lets me get close to him!"

"Didn't I say that when we first met I wanted to play with him, but he secretly shoved my hand away?"

Du Shanü conceded, and this time she truly conceded——

"This, this is what!"

"How can two people's talk be so mismatched, like ox head not matching horse mouth!"

"She was talking to Yu Baobao about the city gate tower, while Yu Baobao was talking to her about the hip bone elbow."

"Sometimes being too pure isn't a good thing!"

"If Yu Baobao weren't of this temperament, she wouldn't have remained single to this day......"

"Du Shanü helplessly wiped away a bitter tear, then carefully said:"

"Do you know how your parents gave birth to you?"

"Yu Baobao didn't know why the topic shifted, but he answers any question, and immediately swore:"

"I know!"

"My mother told me! She said I was, in my past life, a little civet slave she adopted who then acted high and mighty; she had been childless for too long, and later I happened to be harmed by a villain, so I just happened to be reborn into my mother's womb......"

Du Shanü became more embarrassed as she listened, while Yu Baobao spoke softer and softer.

"Finally, Yu Baobao seemed to realize something, and scratched his head, saying:"

"...... kissing."

"I've seen Mother kiss Father, and Mother told me I was born that way."

"Du Shanü: "......""

"Du Shanü: "(""゜ロ゜"")""

Alright, okay.

"At least our Yu Baobao isn't completely clueless about everything!"

"Du Shanü took a few deep breaths, then carefully said:"

"So I, actually also kissed A Nu, right?"

This time, Yu Baobao seems to have finally understood.

He first stared, his clear, pond-like eyes slightly widening, as if a sudden stone had been thrown into his heart's lake, sending out ripples of bewilderment.

The heavens and earth were still, only his eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Yu Baobao seemed to be striving to discern what this meant; Du Shanü's heart jumped, and she tried hard to calm the possible thoughts coming his way."

"I can make it up to you."

"From now on, whatever I have, I will share with you both, and share it equally. Whoever has something, the other will also have it; if one gets something first, later I will make it up to you......"

Mountains and rivers cannot retain spring and autumn.

However, Du Shanü tries to keep the person who shares the autumn hues equally.

To her, Yu Baobao is good, Chinu is also good.

"Not so good; in fact, only she who tries to want everything."

Before the two of them, Du Shanü hadn't even thought——

Originally, love and desire can be divided into two utterly different feelings.

She loves herself.

At any time, she loves herself first.

But she, however, also has a strong sense of responsibility and duty.

She does not want to see Chinu in pain, she does not want to see Yu Baobao sad......

Moreover, she does not want to see the two turn against each other and both suffer losses.

Du Shanü reaches out her hand, over and over saying, "It will definitely be split evenly," "No matter who gets what, the other person will definitely have it too"......

By the end, she even doesn't know what she's saying or what she's thinking.

Therefore, she also didn't see Yu Baobao first be startled, then after reacting, his eyes suddenly light up.

He remains just as he was, like the morning light filling the room when they first met and he pushed open the window.

The corners of his eyes curved like a new moon, revealing neat, white teeth.

He gently inhaled, as if trying to suck this joy into his lungs, his whole body leaping with excitement, even the tips of his hair showing uncontainable happiness.

Yu Baobao chuckled a few times, noticing Du Shanü still muttering, then tilted her head and said seriously:

"Wife Master, Xiao Ai said long ago that she's very happy we can be together for a lifetime......"

"This 'we' is not just him and Wife Master, but also Chinu."

"Wife Master says she can't live without Chinu."

"But who could really leave Chinu?"

Yu Baobao hesitated a moment, then rummaged through her own belongings for a long time, finally pulling out a folding fan.

Du Shanü recognized that folding fan; it was the one Yu Baobao held upside down when they first met.

That folding fan had been closed since the day she first saw it, never opened.

But today, Yu Baobao opened it.

That wasn't a valuable folding fan; the ribs were already cracked, opening and closing not smooth, and even the surface was old and yellowed.

But, the few large characters on it could not be concealed——

【I want to find Chinu】

Yu Baobao treasured it, gently touching the ink that had already spread on the folding fan, and said with a smile:

"This is what I exchanged for, using my only valuable clothing during the southern escape."

"At that time, my eyes were already blurred from falling into water, and my voice hoarse from choking on water, but I always missed him, so I asked a scribe to add these characters on the folding fan for me."

Thus, whenever he heard any movement, he would open the folding fan to ask where Chinu was, and hope to hear news of Chinu again.

To him, Chinu actually weighs more than many people think.

Not just a friend, playmate, beloved, but also a brother.

Mother died, father died, Emperor Taizong died......

He actually only has a brother left.

Before, many people said Chinu would rebel.

But he never believed it for a moment.

Not only because he couldn't uphold the court and had to rely entirely on Chinu.

But because, if those who said Chinu would rebel truly saw Chinu laboring over documents, burning the midnight oil......

They could not even utter such heartless words.

Chinu exhausted all his wisdom for the Yin Dynasty, drained his energy; even if he wanted to become emperor, what could he do?

Chinu is so capable, he should have everything he desires.

The warm-toned youth's voice was also gentle, spoken slowly, as if nothing major had ever happened in the world.

No one could have imagined doubting his deep affection for Chinu.

No one.

Even Du Shanü could not.

Du Shanü kept silent, but her gaze fell on the folding fan, and she could not help but feel her heart pounding wildly.

She took a deep breath, trying to steady her mind, but instead heard Yu Baobao give her another potent dose:

"However, this does not mean I agree with Wife Master's statement."

"I want to ask Wife Master...... why do you think splitting evenly is the fairest?"

?? Everyone, don't rush, the next chapter is even more exciting!
