My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 877: Gu Shurong’s Bottom Line, Part 2

Ye Nianbai shouted, "Wait a bit, Young Master."

He wanted to find the little chubby kid, although the little chubby was only interested in Ye Jingzhe at night, Young Master wouldn’t stop seeing him as a little brother for that, so he grabbed a bottle of milk from the table and trotted after him.

The three little dragons went to the guard. The night lamp was orange and illuminated the entire green lawn of the yard, but there was no sound from Gu Shurong, the little chubby kid. Strange, where did he run off to?

Ye Nianbai said, "You go search in separate directions with Xiaoye, I’ll search this side."

Xi Lei said, "Then I’ll search this side."

Bo Fengyin said, "I’ll go this way. If I find him, I’ll whistle to notify everyone."

"Okay."

The three brothers agreed, split up, and searched the yard for a while, but still couldn’t find Gu Shurong.

Just as Ye Nianbai was about to give up, he vaguely heard a stubborn sobbing sound. Following the sound, he looked up and saw Gu Shurong sitting on a sycamore tree bathed in moonlight, with his two feet dangling.

Ye Nianbai, hands on hips, said angrily, "Hey, chubby, the young master has been looking for you for ages, and you’re sitting in the tree watching the show. Don’t you think that’s unbrotherly?"

Gu Shurong was upset, "Who needs you to come looking?"

He was hoping that mom or dad or the eldest brother would come looking, but none of them showed up. Instead, it was Ye Nianbai and the others who came looking. Gu Shurong felt embarrassed and frustrated, so he just stayed silent on the tree.

Seeing the three brothers almost turning the place upside down, he finally snuffled hard, making a bit of noise.

Ye Nianbai, from behind the dining room’s French window, said, "Chubby, aren’t you hungry? If you don’t come down soon, all the food will be gone. I promised Dad to love my siblings. You’re my brother, and if you’re starving and freezing outside, of course, Young Master has to come looking for you. Who else are you expecting?"

Gu Shurong remained silent.

He had chosen the tree well; it was right in front of the dining room window, and sitting on it, he could see everything going on inside. He was eagerly waiting for Ye Jingzhe to come out and look for him, but Ye Jingzhe continued to eat quietly.

The meat he ate over the years fed the dogs!

Gu Shurong was furious!

He spent the most time with Ye Jingzhe and shared the deepest bond. This feeling naturally couldn’t be matched by his other siblings. Where had he gone wrong?

Xi Lei and Su Chaoyang heard the sound and ran under the tree. Xi Lei held a plate of meat and said, "Come down, there’s meat to share. If you don’t eat it, Yangyang and I will polish it off."

Su Chaoyang reached out with his small hand, took a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, savoring it, "Wow, it’s delicious, Brother Xiaobai, you try some too."

Ye Nianbai indeed walked over, and the three little dragons stood under the tree eating meat, tempting Gu Shurong up in the tree.

Gu Shurong swallowed hard, trying to ignore it, but he couldn’t help but swallow again.

He wished he could jump off the tree immediately, but he felt embarrassed.

Xi Lei, guessing Gu Shurong’s concerns, sat down carelessly, continuing to eat and said, "Hey, Gu Shurong, do you feel it’s humiliating to be scolded by Dad? So what? It’s not like you’re the only one who got scolded, I got scolded too, and so did Yangyang."

Su Chaoyang also sat cross-legged on the lawn, in a childish voice, chimed in, "Exactly, Dad scolded me too. Just change once he scolds you, what’s the big deal? You’re such a coward."

"Who’s a coward?" Gu Shurong retorted.

Su Chaoyang taunted, "Whoever stays on that tree and doesn’t come down is a coward!"

Gu Shurong, so angry, was about to climb down the tree, but in his haste, he slipped, "Ah!"

He thought he was going to faceplant on the ground, but upon landing, it felt soft and didn’t hurt at all.

"Huh? It doesn’t hurt, hahaha~~"

Gu Shurong laughed happily.

But beneath him were three little dragons wanting to swear in anger, shouting in unison, "Of course it doesn’t hurt for you, I’m the one who’s hurting!"

Gu Shurong got up to see the three guys lying on the ground. He had fallen onto them, and with three human cushions, it didn’t hurt.

Gu Shurong felt embarrassed instantly, his momentum weakened, and he went to help them up proactively.

"Why, why did you save me?"

Gu Shurong usually only had a close bond with Ye Jingzhe. His feelings with the other siblings were quite indifferent, only getting along a bit better with Liangliang and Xiaosu. He couldn’t understand why these three saved him.

Ye Nianbai got up, rubbed his small butt, and huffed, "Young Master promised Dad that the family would love each other. Young Master’s word is his bond, how could I go back on it?"

Xi Lei added nonchalantly, "I also swore, to have harmony between brothers, even if you’re unfriendly as a brother, you still have to maintain harmony. You think I’m like you, only having one brother in your eyes? Hmph!"

Su Chaoyang, the little princess, lay on the ground, looking up at the round moon, said, "They’ve said all the reasons. I’ve nothing left to say, but you’re still my brother, and if you’re in danger, I must protect you!"

Gu Shurong stubbornly felt his eyes get wet, turned his head away, and quickly wiped away his little tears.

"Hey, did you get so touched that you’re crying?" Ye Nianbai nudged his back.

Gu Shurong turned his head back, refuting, "I’m not!"

Xi Lei exposed his lie, "Your eyes are red, and you’re still denying it?" Gu Shurong forcefully wiped his tears again, saying, "In the past, when I was sick, it was always the eldest brother taking care of me. He was kind to me, so I should be good to him."

Xi Lei whistled, "Oh, you two are good, that’s fine, I’m not jealous, why tell us?"

Gu Shurong explained the reason he was close to Ye Jingzhe and added, "Now that you’re nice to me, I’ll be good to you too, but it can’t surpass what I feel for the eldest. It has to be just a tiny, tiny bit less."

No matter how adults educate, no matter how brothers extend olive branches, Ye Jingzhe holds the top spot in Gu Shurong’s heart, and no one can break it, that’s Gu Shurong’s bottom line.

Ye Nianbai wrapped one arm around Gu Shurong’s arm, holding a plate with the other. Four pieces of meat were left on the plate, and he offered it as if showing a treasure, "Got it, got it, you talk too much. Wanna eat some meat?"

Gu Shurong snatched the plate from Ye Nianbai’s hand. Everyone thought he’d eat it himself, but Gu Shurong handed the plate back to Ye Nianbai, saying, "I got this plate, it’s mine. Now I’m giving you one piece."

Ye Nianbai rolled his eyes, but graciously took a piece.

Gu Shurong then handed the plate to Su Chaoyang, "Here, for you."

Su Chaoyang took a piece from the plate as well.

Gu Shurong handed the plate to Xi Lei, "You pick the piece with more meat."

Xi Lei didn’t hold back.

For the last piece, Gu Shurong took it for himself, declaring boldly like a hero, "I, the royal highness, also vow that from now on, we eat meat together, but the eldest must pick first. Even with delicious food, I’ll think of you guys, and not just always think of the eldest alone."
