Chapter 1410: Chapter 1409: Bad Atmosphere

Jing Changle looked up and faced Luo Yirui, "What promise?"

Luo Yirui turned his head, looking out the window, unable to see Jing Changle’s expression.

"If one day we change, let’s stop calling each other brothers." He paused, "Being friends is good enough."

There are many kinds of friends, but only one kind of brother.

Jing Changle stared blankly at Luo Yirui, unable to see his expression at the moment.

He had thought about this question too. In the future, they would definitely be in different factions. Interests, power, money—all could tempt someone to change. They are twelve and thirteen now. According to Aunt Bei, they think they are mature, but their characters are not stable.

In going through the ups and downs of society for a dozen years, can they still have the same untainted, unguarded heart-to-heart, like now?

"Okay."

Jing Changle gently replied.

Then the two fell silent, both caught off guard by this sudden farewell.

At some point, both grew accustomed to having each other around, whether in studying, pranks, or sneaking doing things that moms and dads wouldn’t allow. They would discuss, take the blame, and get punished together.

In the future, it would be alone.

The years studying in the small courtyard are Jing Changle’s most treasured memories.

While the room was filled with a faint atmosphere of sorrow, the door was suddenly kicked open with a ’bang’.

Luo Yirui and Jing Changle both turned dark, looking over to see Little Fatty with a face of shock.

"Boss Jing! Is it still time for me to latch onto your thigh!" Little Fatty rushed over, squatted down, and hugged Jing Changle’s leg.

Jing Changle’s brows began to gather into a faint dark cloud, and his gaze towards Little Fatty turned unfriendly.

"Get away from me!"

Little Fatty looked up with a face of grievance, "Boss Jing, I’m not a pervert, I just want to hold your leg, and I refuse that expression of yours!"

Jing Changle took a deep breath and pressed his brow, "Before I lift my leg..."

"Okay, okay! Although I didn’t get to hug the thigh, I hugged the leg, don’t kick, don’t kick, I’m getting up now." Little Fatty stood up with a grin.

Little Fatty glanced at Luo Yirui and then at Jing Changle, the smile on his face growing wider.

Luo Yirui squinted, "If you keep smiling like that, you’ll really never find a wife."

Little Fatty’s smile disappeared instantly, "Brother Xiao Rui, you can’t always cut to the heart like this. I’m telling you, if I slim down, there’ll really be no room for you!"

"Slim down and let me see."

Little Fatty pouted, "What do you know, winter’s coming soon, how to survive without some fat?"

With Little Fatty’s interruption, the unpleasant atmosphere between the two dissipated.

The two exchanged a smile, future matters will be future concerns. For now, stay true to oneself and be worthy of a brother!

Little Fatty said with a grin, "Although I wasn’t born into a good faction, I’ve got two good brothers. In the future, I’ll be in charge of eating popcorn, and you guys just have to watch out for me!"

Luo Yirui and Jing Changle both laughed. Sometimes, it’s better to keep things simple. Like Little Fatty, it doesn’t matter who they are, what matters is, they are brothers.

In Little Fatty’s eyes, a good faction isn’t about it being strong enough, but about being nurturing. At least, it wouldn’t be so indifferent, as Little Fatty had already been disheartened about Xun Yue.
