Chapter 155: Hard-Lived Toad
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After the toad’s funeral was over and it was buried, Yue Xin brought Yue Lingyu back to the house to sleep. Unexpectedly, no matter how careful they were, they were still discovered by the grieving Yue Lingchen.
Yue Lingchen’s eyes were filled with a storm, and his entire body emitted unprecedented pressure. He said calmly, “Come here.”
Yue Xin paused and was about to pull her fourth brother to comfort her brother when she heard her brother continue, “Yue Lingyi.”
After calling Yue Lingyi, Yue Lingchen said to Yue Xin and Yue Lingyu,
“Children can’t watch this. Go back to your room and sleep.”
Fourth Brother Yue Lingyu was dumbfounded.
Fifth Brother Yue Lingyi was also speechless.
Yue Xin naturally couldn’t ask for more. She grabbed Yue Lingyu, who was about to speak, and ran. “Fourth Brother is leaving. I’m tired.”
Hearing his sister say that she was tired, Yue Lingyu immediately gave up the idea of speaking up for Yue Lingyi and followed Yue Xin back into the house.
That night, the “kids”, Yue Lingyu and Yue Xin, had a good night’s sleep. Yue Lingyi, who had been forced to become an “adult”, guarded Toad No. 2 with his other three brothers.
The next day at breakfast, everyone was very energetic, except for Yue
Lingfeng. Logically speaking, the four of them had stayed up all night, but the other three looked fine. Only Yue Lingfeng looked very tired.
Yue Xin looked at Yue Lingfeng, who was about to drop his head into the bowl, and reached out to support him.
Yue Lingfeng, who was not thinking clearly, raised his head and saw that it was
Yue Xin. He smiled and said, “Xinxin is so good to me.”
Yue Xin said, “Second Brother, go and sleep after the meal.” If she hadn’t done that just now, Yue Lingfeng might have become the first person in the world to drown in porridge.
The delirious Yue Lingfeng was easy to talk to. He looked at Yue Xin and smiled harmlessly, “Alright, I’ll listen to Xinxin.”
Yue Lingyun silently observed this scene. Seeing Yue Lingfeng’s intimate attitude towards Yue Xin, he silently memorized the atmosphere and conversation between the two of them.
According to the rules of the Yue family, they did not talk when they ate or slept. In the past, when the family ate together, very few people spoke. Even the sound of cutlery colliding was very soft.
Yue Lingyun thought that it was the same now, until…
Yue Lingyi said, “Yue Xin, you’re eating my eggs!”
Yue Xin said, “I know.”
Yue Lingyi asked, “If you knew, why did you still eat!”
Yue Xin replied, “Because yours is already peeled.”
Yue Lingyi said, “I peeled them myself. You peel it yourself!”
Yue Xin said, “If my hands get dirty from peeling the eggs, I have to wash my hands. It’s very troublesome.” As she spoke, she stuffed the entire egg into her mouth. Her meaning was obvious. She had already put it in her mouth. What else can he do?
Yue Lingyi stared at Yue Xin.
Yue Lingyun sensed the dangerous aura emitted from Yue Lingyi’s body. He frowned and instinctively looked at Yue Lingchen.
Seeing that Yue Lingchen had no intention of stopping him, he silently relaxed his tensed muscles. He thought that this sister of his should be taught a lesson by Fifth Brother.
Although Yue Lingyun didn’t like to talk much, he would observe things that affected him, such as his family.
Yue Lingyi was very dangerous. After so many years, he must have become even more dangerous. This was Yue Lingyun’s intuition and experience that made a judgment on Yue Lingyi. Yue Xin’s hand that was holding the egg should have been cut off, right? Yue Lingyun thought as he drank the porridge.
Then, he saw the dangerous Yue Lingyi approaching Yue Xin. He used his dangerous hands to take the egg in front of Yue Xin and said fiercely, “Next time you want me to help you peel the egg, just say it!” Yue Xin said, “I want you to help Fourth Brother peel an egg.”
Yue Lingyi said, “He can’t absorb one. He can only eat half.”
Yue Lingyun was speechless. Why was it different from what he had imagined?
It was better to eat porridge.
Yue Lingchen sat beside Yue Lingyun and was a little puzzled. Did Yue Lingyun often not have enough to eat? Why did he eat so quickly?
After experiencing the death of two toads, Yue Lingchen understood a principle. This time, he was not in a hurry to buy the toad. Instead, he randomly dialed a secretary’s number. “Contact them and find a hardy toad. Prepare the consecration French style. I won’t be going to the company for the next few days. All projects that need my signature will be suspended.”
Yue Xin understood that this meant that Yue Lingchen would stay at home for a few days like before.
After hanging up the phone, Yue Lingchen glanced at the toad-killing Third
Brother and remembered to ask, “Why did you suddenly come back?”
Logically speaking, Yue Lingyun was not old enough to retire from the army, and his identity was special. There should not be any family visits. It could be said that ever since Yue Lingyun had a special identity, there were only three possibilities for him to return home. He would be discharged from the army, seriously injured, or died. However, Yue Lingyun’s return now clearly did not match any of those situations. This was abnormal. Yue Lingchen had never suspected that Yue Lingyun had made a mistake or become a deserter. With his personality, he would definitely return home under the orders of the higher-ups. As for why he had given such an order, he could only hear it from Yue Lingyun..
