Jiang Lan hung up the phone anxiously, and all the way home he was thinking about how to hide the person so that his elder brother wouldn’t find out.
After all, Big Brother’s face was very famous among the monsters. Which monster didn’t know that he was the spokesperson for Dragon Palace?
If Ying Qiao really ran into Big Brother, his disguise would be completely exposed!
He had not yet prepared for the showdown. If Ying Qiao could not accept it, wouldn’t he be in for a miserable breakup?
This was absolutely not possible.
Jiang Lan was thinking like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand: As long as I don’t get caught, I will still be the first cub in Dragon Palace to escape singlehood!
Thinking this in his mind, Jiang Lan became more determined to hide Ying Qiao.
The taxi stopped at the gate of the community. It was already afternoon. Jiang Lan held Jiang Chi’s hand and walked back home in the afterglow of the sun.
As soon as he opened the door, he heard Suan Ni’s excited voice coming from the living room: “Quick, sister-in-law, blow his head off!”
Jiao Tu was also shouting: “Someone is robbing a car on the bridge ahead!”
“Jiujiu rush over and hit them!”
Along with the voices, there were fierce gunshots and the sound of cars accelerating.
“???”
Jiang Lan walked into the house expressionlessly, and sure enough, he saw three people, one adult and two children, sitting in a row on the sofa, eating chicken. Ying Qiao and Jiao Tu were holding their phones, but the claws of the Suan Ni were difficult to operate, so he used a tablet. The two claws slid quickly on the screen, and the tail was flapping up and down. It looked like it would drill into the sofa at any minute.
He was so focused that he didn’t even notice that Jiang Lan and Jiang Chi had returned.
Instead, Ying Qiao raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Lan: “Have you consulted about everything?”
“Yeah.” Jiang Lan’s storytelling skills had become more and more smooth and skillful now: “Today I just learned about the general procedures and processes. I will go to visit the schools I like another day.”
“Why are you playing Chicken again?” Jiang Lan stretched his neck to look, still not understanding why the game of Landlords had turned into Chicken.
Ying Qiao stood in the circle and killed the last two enemies with two shots before putting down his phone and saying, “Ni Ni discovered a new game.”
Jiang Lan glanced at Suan Ni who was cheering after winning the game and couldn’t help but narrow his eyes and pinch his ear: “You have been getting more and more addicted to games recently.”
Suan Ni used his claws to pull his hand away, saved his ear, and hid behind his sister-in-law, whining and retorting, “Today is the weekend.”
And it was obvious that Fifth Brother agreed!
As he spoke, he cunningly stretched out his claws to pull Jiao Tu’s clothes, trying to find an ally to fight against his brother’s power: “Jiujiu, tell me, didn’t Fifth Brother say today that we can play games as we please?”
Jiao Tu nodded honestly: “He said it.”
He looked like a good boy, but actually his eyes were still fixed on the screen of his mobile phone. It was obvious that he was being led by Suan Ni to become addicted to games.
Jiang Lan:…
Online games had not only extended their claws to human children, but even the young monsters had not been spared.
He stretched out a finger and poked Suan Ni, causing him to stagger: “You are so clever, be careful when big brother comes.”
Suan Ni sat down on the sofa, covered his forehead with his front paws and asked in shock: “Is Big Brother coming? When?”
The hair on his tail stood up and his golden cat eyes widened.
Was this the end of his happy life?
“Next week, not sure which day.” Jiang Lan also had a headache.
“Big brother?” Ying Qiao’s expression changed: “Is it your cousin? He will come to Jiangcheng next week?”
Jiang Lan hummed, pulled Ying Qiao’s arm, and led him to the bedroom: “I want to tell you something.”
Ying Qiao followed him into the bedroom and saw him closing the door mysteriously. His eyes were then immediately filled with interest: “What’s so mysterious?”
“It’s about my eldest cousin.” Jiang Lan cleared his throat and said seriously, “He will come to Jiangcheng next week for something, and he will come to visit us at home on the way. He may stay for a few days…”
Ying Qiao: “Well, do you want me to book a hotel in advance?”
Jiang Lan waved his hands, then two dimples appeared on his cheeks as he smiled, as he said in a soothing and flattering manner: “No need, I haven’t told my eldest cousin that you and I are in love, so…”
He hesitated to speak, and Ying Qiao understood what he meant: “You want me to go back?”
“Yeah.” Jiang Lan held his hand and shook it: “You can go home and stay for a few days until my eldest cousin leaves.”
“Am I so shameful that I can’t be seen?” Ying Qiao leaned against the wall, looking at him with deep eyes, lips pressed into a straight line: “Didn’t you say before that you would take me back to your hometown to meet your family?”
Jiang Lan rolled his eyes and said quickly, “My eldest cousin is homophobic! I still need time to convince him.”
“There are only two of us left in our group, my brother Ni Ni and I. My eldest cousin has always wanted me to find a partner as soon as possible to have more cubs.”
Jiang Lan was getting more and more inspired as he wrote more stories. So, he said solemnly, “We have to give him some time to digest it slowly. If it’s too sudden, he won’t be able to accept it!”
Ying Qiao reluctantly accepted this statement, although he couldn’t imagine what kind of old-fashioned monster was still homophobic. After all, the monster race was not like the human race, where many people didn’t form same-sex couples. In the early years, same-sex monster couples could not have cubs, and they envied others who had cubs, so there were even monsters who stole or robbed other people’s cubs.
This was nothing uncommon among the monster race.
“Then I’ll go back tomorrow?” Ying Qiao asked, “Do you want to put away the things at home?”
After the two of them got together, Ying Qiao moved in naturally and rarely went back to his own home. Now, his traces could be seen everywhere in this not-so-big two-bedroom apartment.
If his eldest cousin came home again, it would be impossible for him not to find out.
“Or maybe you should just leave today.” Jiang Lan was really afraid that his elder brother would launch a surprise attack, so he leaned over and kissed Ying Qiao on the lips flatteringly: “I’ll pack the things!”
Ying Qiao: …
What’s this feeling of being kicked out of the house by my boyfriend?
In the end, Ying Qiao stayed for dinner before driving away.
After Jiang Lan saw him off, he immediately held an emergency family meeting with the three kids. The core content of the meeting was that no information about Ying Qiao should be disclosed to the eldest brother.
To prevent the eldest brother from investigating Ying Qiao privately.
As a mature Taotie who already had a boyfriend, Jiang Lan felt that he had to handle the matter between him and Ying Qiao himself. If Big Brother intervened and caused him to reveal his identity early, it would really be a loss!
Jiang Lan’s attitude was very firm. After coordinating the statements with the three little brats, he temporarily put away Ying Qiao’s daily necessities. After a final check to make sure nothing was left out, he sent a message to Ying Qiao out of concern, asking him not to pick him up from get off work this week and it would be best if he didn’t come near the community to avoid being discovered by his eldest brother.
Ying Qiao looked at the WeChat messages. The more he read, the more he felt that his official boyfriend seemed to be having an affair.
He groaned in dissatisfaction, thinking that his eldest cousin was really troublesome.
What era was this and people were still homophobic?
Old stubborn goat.
….
When he went to work on Monday, Jiang Lan sent a message to his elder brother, asking him when he would come.
However, Bixi did not reply to the message, so he had to concentrate on work.
Jiang Lan finally made it to the afternoon before it was time to get off work. As he was packing up, he heard Zhang Tianxing come back and say in a strange tone, “Someone is looking for you outside.”
Jiang Lan’s eyelids twitched, and his first reaction was that Ying Qiao had come to pick him up from get off work.
He quickly packed his backpack, picked up Suan Ni and Jiao Tu, and hurried out. When he reached the door, he said before he even saw the person clearly: “Didn’t I tell you not to come and pick me up–“
He swallowed the last word “ban” after he saw the people waiting in the hall.
The tall and handsome man in the hall was not his boyfriend, but his dear elder brother!
Even in the hot summer, Bixi was dressed in a well-designed suit with a pocket watch in his pocket and a gold watch chain hanging down, swinging slightly with his movements. He also had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, with his pair of sharp phoenix eyes hidden behind the lenses, making him look like an old-fashioned gentleman from the last century.
Jiang Lan immediately put on a well-behaved smile: “Big Brother.”
The expressions of Suan Ni and Jiao Tu were exactly the same as his, and each one was more obedient than the other as they called him “big brother”.
Bixi came closer, looked his brothers up and down, and nodded with satisfaction: “You have all gained a lot of weight.”
As he spoke, his eyes paused on Suan Ni, and then added: “Isn’t Lao Ba going to lose weight?”
No one could shake the eldest brother’s majesty.
Even Suan Ni didn’t dare to act like a spoiled brat, so he could only suck in his stomach and defend himself: “I’m not that fat.”
Bixi laughed, took him from Jiang Lan’s arms, weighed him, and commented: “Solid.”
Suan Ni:!!!
He widened his eyes and threw himself into his eldest brother’s arms in despair.
Bixi held him firmly, smoothed his back with his palm, and was about to speak when he noticed an intense gaze coming from the other side.
He turned his head and saw the young man who had just passed the message for him looking at him expressionlessly.
Bixi nodded slightly at him, then turned to Jiang Lan and said, “Let’s go eat first.” As he spoke, he saw the Jiao Tu in Jiang Lan’s arms peeking out, so he gently tapped his dragon horn and said, “I brought you a lot of new gems this time, so you can change them.”
He frowned and looked dissatisfied: “It’s been almost two months since these gems on the shell were replaced with new ones, right?”
Jiao Tu cheered a little, his voice full of joy: “I changed a few. I really like the gems that Fifth Brother found for me.”
Bixi nodded: “Everything get in the car, you can pick out what you like when we get back.”
Then he said to Jiang Lan, “Park the car in front of the supermarket near your workplace.”
He came here from the supermarket on purpose.
“Then let’s go get the car first.” Jiang Lan narrowed his eyes.
The eldest brother was always so thoughtful and considerate towards them, even taking care of their little thoughts.
After Jiang Lan and Zhang Tianxing said hello, the four brothers left the street office.
Zhang Tianxing, who stayed behind, looked at Bixi’s back with some doubt in his eyes.
Why do I feel like I’ve seen this person somewhere before?
