Chapter 270: Is Xiao Fu Bao Disliked? The Whole City Loves Me With Their Lives
Chapter 270: Liking Second Brother
Suisui turned her head in confusion, meeting Second Brother’s aggrieved expression. For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.
To be honest...
Suisui was still a little scared of Second Brother.
Second Brother was built so robustly, and when he wasn’t smiling, he looked quite fierce.
Even though his eyes were similar to her elder brother’s, and even though he spoke in a raspy voice,
instinctively, Suisui was afraid.
She knew Second Brother meant no harm, but it was just... hard to control himself.
Especially when Second Brother’s loud voice rang out, Suisui’s body instinctively shrank back. She suddenly turned around and threw herself into her elder brother’s arms.
Feng Xuanze gently held Suisui, softly comforting the little one, while helplessly reminding Feng Xuanyu, “Little sister is still young. You need to lower your voice, or she’ll get scared.”
Feng Xuanyu, who was used to his booming voice, had spent most of his time at Qingyun Academy focusing on martial arts training.
His companions were all large, burly men with immense strength. They didn’t pay attention to the little details when speaking, and sometimes when they argued, they would shout even louder.
Now that his elder brother had reminded him, Feng Xuanyu scratched his head in confusion, thinking: *But I’ve already been speaking with my voice lowered!*
Could it be... still not enough?
Feng Xuanyu didn’t understand, but seeing Suisui curled up in her elder brother’s arms, he quickly smiled again, saying, “Okay, okay... I’ll... speak lower.”
The last word was forced out, his voice dropping an octave, sounding almost as if his throat was being squeezed, like a chicken caught by the neck.
Feng Xuanze: *Really?*
He suddenly felt that maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing to speak without squeezing his voice.
Concubine Ren, on the other hand, had no desire to speak.
She had dealt with Second son’s antics before, and it was nothing new to her.
Therefore, when it came to her son’s ridiculousness, she had long since stopped expecting anything.
After all, as long as they were in the royal residence, and with elder brother Feng Xuanze being gentle and kind, it was unlikely that the younger brothers would go hungry.
So as long as they were fed, that was good enough.
Concubine Ren had no further desires.
With Feng Xuanyu’s behavior, what else could she ask for?
Feng Xuanze didn’t blame Feng Xuanyu too much. He quickly turned his attention back to comforting Suisui. “Second Brother just has a loud voice. He practices martial arts and has a lot of strength. Sometimes he can’t control himself. But Suisui, don’t be afraid, okay? Second Brother is a very, very good person. He’s really good at horseback riding. When we have time, we can go watch Second Brother ride a horse, alright?”
The gentle tone of her elder brother’s voice seemed to enchant Suisui. She lifted her head and met the sight of Second Brother, who was grinning with his big white teeth showing.
To be honest...
Suisui didn’t feel any malice from Second Brother. In fact, she had a child’s instinct about these things.
She felt that Second Brother’s soul was purer than anyone else’s.
His nature was simple, like that of a younger sibling.
Second Brother was a good person.
Suisui thought that she, too, was a good person, and they should play together.
With that thought, she gently reached out her hand. “Sorry, Second Brother. I shouldn’t have been afraid of you.”
Suisui extended her small hand in a friendly gesture.
Feng Xuanyu was still a little flustered, unsure of what to do.
He wanted to reach out, but his large hand, clearly shaped by years of martial arts training, looked like an iron palm. Moreover, his hands were much darker than those of the other young masters in the manor, due to his constant outdoor training.
Now, as his large hand stretched out, it looked even more out of place compared to Suisui’s soft, fair hand.
The contrast between the black and white, the large and small hands, was striking.
Feng Xuanyu felt a little embarrassed but still cautiously extended his hand.
When Suisui saw Second Brother extend his hand, she also gently stretched out her small hand.
The black and white, the large and small hands, slowly reached out towards each other, finally touching lightly in midair.
Feng Xuanyu held his breath, his face flushed with embarrassment. He used as little force as possible, his hand frozen in the air, afraid of scaring Suisui.
The moment his finger touched Suisui’s, Feng Xuanyu felt a strange sense of fulfillment.
He thought, *So this is what a younger sister feels like!* She was soft and delicate, really quite adorable!
He couldn’t help but wonder why his father had given him brothers instead of a sister. Why wasn’t a sister born instead?
Feng Xuanyu didn’t understand, but for now, there was no time to ask. He’d ask his mother later, why didn’t she give him a sister? Wasn’t a sister cute enough?
After Suisui’s hand touched Second Brother’s large hand, she felt a strange sense of reassurance.
Her intuition was indeed correct.
Second Brother was simple, kind, and gave a sense of security.
Just by looking at his large hand, Suisui felt that with Second Brother protecting her, everything would be calm and safe!
Suisui gently poked Second Brother’s fingertip and then quickly pulled her hand back, smiling like a mischievous raccoon that had successfully stolen a treat.
Fearing Second Brother might misunderstand, Suisui quickly extended her hand again and poked him once more.
And then, she poked him again.
Feng Xuanyu, delighted by Suisui’s closeness, dared not move, standing still, letting Suisui poke as she pleased.
Feng Xuanze, worried they might get too tired, soon advised Suisui to pull her hand back.
When she did, Suisui softly said, “I like Second Brother.”
Suisui, feeling a little embarrassed after speaking, snuggled back into her elder brother’s arms.
Feng Xuanze gently patted her back. “Second Brother likes Suisui too.”
Feng Xuanyu couldn’t help himself and loudly responded, “Yes!!!”
The loud exclamation startled Feng Xuanbin, who was sipping sweet soup. He jumped up, spilling his bowl.
Realizing he had caused trouble, the young boy seemed on the verge of crying but was quickly comforted by the princess, who calmed him down and had him changed into new clothes.
When Feng Xuanbin returned, his brothers and sisters were still waiting for him, not in a hurry to play, as they didn’t want the younger child to feel left out.
Seeing him return, Feng Xuanze waved and called, “Xiao Qi, come here! Suisui wants to ride the rocking horse.”
Although Suisui had grown tired of the rocking horse these past few days, since her elder brother hadn’t played with it yet, she decided to let him have a turn!
Feng Xuanze was more than happy to play with his younger siblings.
However, when Feng Xuanyu saw that some strength was required, he immediately slapped his chest and said loudly, “Leave it to me!”
This kind of task, he could handle with just one hand.
Moreover, a single rocking horse was too few. If they had ten or eight of them, he could handle them all without a problem.
Feng Xuanze didn’t compete with him. The goal was for everyone to have fun together, so he stepped aside.
Feng Xuanyu was straightforward and didn’t think much. Since his elder brother had given way, he obediently went over. After preparing the rocking horse, he didn’t forget to reassure Suisui, “Don’t worry, little sister. Second Brother has great strength, and I’ll make sure it’s fun!”
Even though there was a safety strap, Feng Xuanze still wasn’t entirely reassured and stood behind the rocking horse, ready to catch Suisui in case she fell.
After all, if Second Brother truly used all his strength, the rocking horse might end up flying out of the manor in no time!
