Chapter 23 What?Isn’t it just about face?The worst thing is, he doesn’t want it anymore!
It feels familiar, but I still can't figure out why.

Forget it, can't think of it, don't want to.

Zhao family brigade.

"Brother, let us down! The big brick house in front is my home."

Shi Chengye looked at the rather impressive house only a few hundred meters away, nodded, and put the two of them down.

He asked worriedly, "It's getting late, you two should go home quickly!"

"Thank you, brother!" Lu Jinbao gratefully bowed to Brother Shi.

"Thank you!" Xu Zichen said reluctantly.

Brother Shi patted Lu Jinbao's furry little head as a compliment.

However, when he was about to touch Xu Zichen's head again, he dodged.

Seeing this, Brother Shi smiled honestly and didn't think much about it. Instead, he urged the two of them to go home quickly.

It wasn't until he saw the two figures walking into the door that he felt relieved, turned around and left.

As soon as Xu Zichen and Lu Jinbao opened the courtyard door of the Xu family, they bumped into Xu Ziheng who was about to go out to find someone.

"Why is school so late today?" Xu Ziheng asked with concern.

"Second brother, it's okay! Jin Bao and I were having fun for a while." Xu Zichen chose to conceal the matter directly. He didn't want everyone in the family to know about his embarrassing incident.

Xu Ziheng was annoyed, rolled his eyes at Xu Zichen, and unhurriedly exposed the loopholes in his words, "What? You want to play, and you brought Shun back with you, a bunch of candied haws?"

"Well, what's wrong? Is there a problem? Can't I buy candied haws for everyone to eat?" Xu Zichen's voice rose unconsciously, trying to fight for his life.

With just one glance, Xu Ziheng could see through Xu Zichen's bluff.

He no longer bothered to pay attention to Xu Zichen, and glanced at Lu Jinbao with majestic eyes.

"Jinbao, tell your second brother!"

Lu Jinbao, who was eating candied haws on a stick, paused and his eyes were blank for a moment.

He subconsciously glanced at Xu Zichen aside, but Xu Ziheng, who had noticed in advance, moved his body first to block his sight.

He ran out of ideas for a moment, so he had no choice but to speak honestly.

"Second brother, that's me"

"Lu Jinbao!" Xu Zichen squeezed Xu Ziheng's figure away, shook his clenched fists, and threatened fiercely, "Do you dare to say a word? Try?"

"Xu Zichen, what are you doing?" Xu Ziheng pulled Xu Zichen away and said sharply.

"Eldest brother, second brother, have you forgotten what I usually teach you?"

"No!" Xu Zichen muttered.

"But what are you doing now?"

"I didn't!" Xu Zichen's eyes were red, but he stared at Xu Ziheng unwillingly and said stubbornly.

I didn't mean to hit Jinbao, I just scared him so that he wouldn't speak and tell him what happened.

Looking at Xu Zichen who was so stubborn, Xu Ziheng frowned.

The atmosphere was stagnant, and for a moment, the volcano erupted.

Inside the house, Xu Ziyu stood by the window and read a book, seeing everything clearly.

He calmly walked into the back room and woke up the sleeping little one.

"Beibei, wake up, it's time to eat candied haws!"

"Tangtang~" Lu Jinbei squeaked in his sleep.

"Beibei, if you don't wake up, Tangtang will be eaten by the fifth brother."

"No, fifth brother is evil!"

Under Xu Ziyu's low voice, Lu Jinbei slowly opened his hazy eyes.

"Three brothers~"

"Our babe is awake!"

"Tangtang~, Tangtang~" "Let's go, third brother will take Beibei to eat Tangtang~"

Xu Ziyu picked up Lu Jinbei and walked outside.

Walking to the door, Xu Ziyu put down Lu Jinbei and pointed in the direction of Xu Zichen, "No, Beibei, do you see, those strings of red ones are delicious candies. Beibei, hurry up and find your fifth brother and ask him I’ll get you some candies.”

So, Lu Jinbei, who was attracted by greed, walked out with shaky steps.

After walking for a long time, the little guy only walked half a meter away.

Seeing the candy in front of him but unable to eat it, Lu Jinbei pouted and cried in a voice, breaking the long-standing stalemate.

"Fifth brother, hug~, Tangtang~"

grass!Xu Zichen stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked his back molars.

have what?Isn’t it just about face?The worst thing is, he doesn’t want it anymore!
The moment Lu Jinbao spoke out, the spikes all over Xu Zichen's body dissipated in an instant.

He quickly stepped forward, snatched the candied haws from Lu Jinbao's arms, then trotted up to Lu Jinbei, squatted down, and comforted him softly.

"Beibei, don't cry! Beibei, be good, let's eat candied haws."

"Fifth brother, it's so sweet!"

"Fifth brother, you eat too!"

Xu Zichen's eyes were hot and he choked with sobs, "Fifth brother will eat too!"

Alas, Xu Ziyu sighed and turned around to leave.

Seeing that Xu Zichen was no longer staring at him, Lu Jinbao slowly moved closer to Xu Ziheng and told him what happened today.

However, he hid the fact that he was beaten and Xu Zichen was embarrassed.

He thought his voice was very low, but unexpectedly, Xu Zichen, who was eating candied haws in front of him, heard everything clearly.

Lu Jinbao!Good for you!

"Laughed, fifth brother laughed."

Xu Zichen covered Lu Jinbei's small mouth, hugged her and walked towards the house. As he walked back, he said righteously,

"No, Beibei, you got it wrong."

Looking at Xu Zichen's fleeing figure, Lu Jinbao smiled knowingly, while Monk Xu Ziheng was confused.

But he also understood that this was a little secret between the two of them.

He already knew the truth of the matter and did not pursue it too much.He just went into the house, took out the money, counted the votes, handed it to Lu Jinbao, and asked him to return the money for buying candied haws to that kind sister tomorrow.

Sister, we can meet again.

Lu Jinbao held the money in his pocket and felt very happy. He was like a general returning from victory, very proud.

Gradually, the sky turned completely dark, the door of Xu's house opened again, and Xu Yan walked in.

Hearing the laughter of several children in the main room, Xu Yan thought that soon their hostess, his wife, would be welcomed here, and he couldn't help but start to look forward to it, and the exhaustion in his body was swept away.

"Brother, you're back! Why don't you go in?"

Xu Ziheng, who was serving food from the kitchen, looked at his elder brother standing in a daze in the courtyard and asked with concern.

"Ahem, brother, come in now!"

Xu Yan took the bowl and plate from Xu Ziheng's hand and walked towards the house.

After a while, the porridge and vegetables were put on the table, and everyone sat at the dining table, waiting for Xu Yan to start eating.

"Everyone is hungry, let's eat!"

As soon as Xu Yan said these words, everyone in the Xu family moved their chopsticks.

However, Xu Yan himself made no move. He was uneasy and nervous, and he hesitated to speak.

The few little ones looked at each other and planned to wait and see what would happen!

After a while, Xu Yan seemed to have completely made up his mind. He pretended to be normal and said, "This weekend, your sister-in-law is coming to see you."

"Clang, clang!" The sound of bowls and chopsticks falling was heard.
