Luo Yunyi said expressionlessly, "I have plenty, no need to rush."
"Ah, no, I..." Luo Yunfei awkwardly retracted his hand, unsure of what to say.
Luo Yunyi grabbed a handful of pine nuts for Luo Yunfei, then grabbed another handful for Xu Zihai, and started munching away nearby.
Xu Zihai glanced at them, but ultimately said nothing, eating pine nuts while watching them play chess. He was so anxious watching, he almost wanted to offer Yan Rui some advice.
"A true gentleman observes the game without speaking." Luo Yunyi glanced at Xu Zihai, who was about to speak, and interjected.
Xu Zihai swallowed back his words and began eating the pine nuts faster.
The little white cat on Luo Yunfei’s shoulder meowed at him and rubbed its head against his face.
"Do you want to eat too?" Luo Yunfei asked curiously.
"Meow~" The little white cat nodded.
Then Luo Yunfei began peeling pine nuts for the cat to eat.
Along the way, Luo Yunfei was surprised to find that Luo Yunyi was always making food for Tianmiao, taking care of him meticulously. For the first time, he realized that his nominal elder brother had such excellent culinary skills. He was further amazed to discover that his brother seemed to really enjoy making food, eating food, and had a great fondness for snacks, except sweets.
That day, Luo Yunyi was once again cooking on the side. The little white cat on Luo Yunfei’s shoulder jumped straight down and ran towards Luo Yunyi, meowing for food.
Luo Yunfei walked over awkwardly and saw Luo Yunyi talking to the little white cat, "Wait a bit, I’ve made a portion for you too."
"Meow meow!" The little white cat circled around Luo Yunyi happily, even standing up on two hind legs to act cute for him.
At the corner of Luo Yunfei’s mouth twitched, as he seriously considered whether he should improve his cooking skills to better feed his own spirit beast in the future.
Luo Yunfei walked over and hesitated before speaking, "Brother... I’m sorry."
"Sorry for what?" Luo Yunyi was pouring juice into cups and asked, puzzled.
"I was so harsh to you before. I’m not really father’s child, yet I treated you like that, I’m sorry. I had no right to ask for so much. My mother was so excessive, brother, I’m really sorry." Luo Yunfei blurted out everything he’d been wanting to say from his heart, letting out a long breath and feeling much lighter.
"Ah, I already knew you weren’t father’s child, so it didn’t bother me." Luo Yunyi looked up at Luo Yunfei, "It’s not your fault."
Luo Yunfei stared at Luo Yunyi’s calm face in surprise, looking at him for a long time to truly confirm that Luo Yunyi really didn’t mind, didn’t care... did he see him as nothing more than a clown jumping around? Thinking of this, Luo Yunfei’s mood sank, unable to describe the discomfort in his heart.
"Speaking of which, when you were little, both father and I liked you quite a bit, after all, you were cute and had a sweet tongue. Back then, father even guided you in cultivation." Luo Yunyi suddenly reminisced aloud, "After all, we are still blood-related, I should call you brother."
Luo Yunfei suddenly looked up, his eyes wide as he stared at Luo Yunyi, almost unable to believe his ears.
"Help me bring these over first. I’ll make you a cup, I don’t like sweets, but you seem to quite enjoy them." Luo Yunyi handed a tray to Luo Yunfei with several cups of juice on it.
"Okay, okay, I’ll take them over." Luo Yunfei accepted it, nodding repeatedly, his nose slightly sore, then after taking a few steps, he turned back to say to Luo Yunyi, "Brother, thank you."
