Chapter 66 - So Are We in Love with Each Other? II
When Jiang Yunchang could walk again, he gave Wan Zhong an IOU and said to his younger brother with great enthusiasm: “From today on, I will reorganize the family business. I owe Xuan Ming and your brother will pay him back in the future. So, whatever the reason you are with him in the first place, your brother hopes that you are equal emotionally.”
Wan Zhong clenched his fists, folded his nails into his palms, and his beautiful eyes were filled with guilt and tears.
He looked at his brother who had lost everything because of him. In addition to saying sorry, he also said something he always wanted to ask but didn’t dare to ask: “Brother, if I didn’t come back, maybe so many bad things wouldn’t have happened. Have you ever regretted…of me being here?”
“Stupid words.”
A smile spread across Jiang Yunchang’s young and handsome face. He wiped away the tears that fell on Wan Zhong’s face and stretched out his long arms. He held him in his arms, patted Wan Zhong’s back that was shaking from crying, and comforted him with tolerance.
“Since our parents passed away, you have been my only relative in this world. You don’t know how happy your brother was when I found you. You are my biological little brother, connected by blood and flesh, and you are someone I must protect at all costs. You are not a disaster star, and none of this is your fault. If anyone dares to say such a thing in the future, I will tell him to shut up.”
Wan Zhong’s eyes shed more tears, and he hugged his brother back while choking. He said gratefully: “Thank you, Brother, you are really~ woo! You are the best brother in the world. I am so sorry~ woo~”
Jiang Yunchang lowered his head and scratched Wan Zhong’s nose, laughed at him and said: “You are already so old, but still crying and acting coquettishly with your bother.”
.
Later, when Wan Zhong took the IOU to Xuan Ming, he found that the Snake Demon Emperor’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. Wan Zhong looked at the mirror buried in the ground, pursed his lips and couldn’t help but say in a strange tone: “It’s really different when you become an immortal. Not only does your Taoism improve, but your temper also gets worse. If you don’t agree with me, you will sulk and disappear. I don’t know why this mirror offended a certain immortal and was treated like this.”
Xuan Ming said nothing, lying on the bay window and letting out his snake tail, hitting the ground with a bang.
Wan Zhong washed the mirror and placed it within reach of Xuan Ming. Just as he was about to give him the IOU, Xuan Ming suddenly slapped his hand away and scolded him coldly: “You’ve been hugged by another man, don’t touch me.”
“Huh?”
Wan Zhong was surprised. “Wait! Xuan Ming, are you jealous of my brother? Are you for real? He is my biological brother. What are you thinking so wildly?”
Xuan Ming immediately turned his head when he heard the words, as if he wanted to say something.
Wan Zhong immediately warned, “You are not allowed to say stupid words that make me angry. Have you forgotten? You and Bai Tianxian not only hugged each other but also wrap your tails together and even licked each other in front of me. Bai Tianxian even kissed you on the face. Have I ever settled the score with you?”
Xuan Ming became more enthusiastic and retorted, “That’s because you don’t care about me at all. If you really like me. I, I don’t believe you’re not angry.”
Wan Zhong touched his nose and thought, at that time, his feelings for Xuan Ming were not strong enough to be jealous of Bai Tianxian.
When Xuan Ming saw Wan Zhong’s reaction, what else didn’t he understand?
He stood up, clasped Wan Zhong’s shoulders, and pushed him down on the bed. Looking a little paranoid, he said: “I recognized you from the first sight. Although I don’t remember many things from before, I have been thinking about you with all my heart. Seeing you crying because of your grandfather and brother, I broke the heaven rules and wanted to help you. But guess what I found in the mirror these days? You didn’t like me at all when we were on the desert island. You have been lying to me, running away, taking contraceptive pills behind my back. When I was going through a tribulation and uncertain about my life or death, you had already packed up your things and prepared to leave. Later, you found out that you were pregnant, and you kept crying. If it weren’t for the snake fetus protecting you, you would have killed it a long time ago.”
Wan Zhong was stunned and quickly shook his head: “Xuan…”
“You dare to say it’s not the case?”
“No, Xuan Ming, listen-”
“You jumped into the Huangliang Well, you give up. Everything you did was to return to the human world! Even if you stayed with me during the estrus period, it was because I promised to take you home after the tribulation, right?”
Back then Xuan Ming was proud and passionate, he firmly believed that Wan Zhong liked him. No matter what Wan Zhong did to him, he would justify it and be complacent.
Now that he lost his memory, when he looked back at the past through the mirror from the perspective of a third party, he clearly saw the sweetness he thought he experienced was actually an illusion.
Xuan Ming felt he was simply the stupidest snake in the world now.
Wan Zhong grabbed him by the collar and asked: “You have said so much, and every word is my fault. Then let me ask you, have you seen my fear, helplessness, and pain? Have you ever understood the changes and concessions I have made? Have you ever cared about the pain in my heart? You don’t! You are just thinking about yourself!”
Wan Zhong’s eyes were cold, and he had a lot to say in response to Xuan Ming’s question. But in the end, he only said one sentence: “Xuan Ming, I remember every good thing you did for me clearly. But why do you turn a blind eye to the tears I shed for you and the pain I suffered?”
As a snake, Xuan Ming might never understand how much Wan Zhong had betrayed himself in accepting him.
His personality, self-esteem, more than ten years of higher education, and the sound outlook he had established in a civilized society were all given up little by little because he liked Xuan Ming.
There was silence in the barred room.
As the world turned around, the crystal lamp above their heads shook violently several times, and the two-meter-wide double bed suddenly felt narrow due to Xuan Ming’s presence.
Wan Zhong looked at the clothes on his body that had disappeared in an instant, and he pushed Xuan Ming’s shoulder in a panic, “Xuan Ming, you are crazy, the snake fetus – ugh~”
Xuan Ming held Wan Zhong’s face and made him raise his head, intertwined their lips and teeth, and kissed him deeply. After sucking hard, he asked him again, “So, we are in love with each other?”
