Du Youlong collected his thoughts and pulled himself back from his thoughts. At this time, Zuo Si had already brought a little boy about twelve years old according to his instructions. The little boy was wearing a silver armor. His young and delicate face was covered by a heavy helmet. Under the silver brim of the helmet, his star-like eyes sparkled. The little boy was a little chubby and round like a fluffy puppy. Du Pian Hong scanned the boy with his eyes and estimated that the boy's height was about the height of her shoulders.
The little boy was not affected by the surrounding people's temperament as he walked in. He still stood beside Zuo Si with a serious face. Looking at his face and expression, he looked just like an official soldier.
Du Pian Hong walked up to the little boy, squatted down, and said with a smile,""Little brother, tell me your name. Sister has candy here." As she spoke, she took out a handful of candy from the bag and coaxed the little boy. However, the other party only gave Candy a cold glance before turning his head away with a cold expression."Auntie, I'm not a child. Put away your candy!”
Auntie?
She's actually an auntie? Was she that old?
Du Pian Hong frowned slightly as he thought to himself.
At this moment, Du Youlong, who was standing at the side and watching the show, was obviously in a good mood. He clapped his hands and laughed,"Du Xiao Er, so you're old enough to be someone else's aunt." Haha…"
Du Pianhong turned his head and glared at Du Youlong before continuing to coax the little boy in front of him."Little brother, big sister is wrong. You're not small at all. You're very big. Come, tell me your name.”Du Pian Hong decided to give up on the temptation of the candy and started to go along with the little boy. She felt that she would definitely be able to successfully ask for the boy's name this time.
The little boy nodded happily, then revealed a calm face that only adults had and said,"My surname is Su, and my name is Lu-er. General and everyone usually call me Lu-er.”He turned around and glanced at Du Youlong as if he was waiting for his next order.
Du Youlong naturally saw Su Lu-er's uneasiness. He only clenched his fist and coughed lightly, explaining,""Actually, I called Lu-er over today for the gambling matter. Lu-er, sorry to trouble you."
Su Lu-er replied with a " yes." Then, she solemnly walked to Du Youlong's side and waited for his next instructions. Although he was only a twelve-year-old boy, he had the qualities of a soldier.
"Big brother, what kind of bet is it? Can you stop keeping me in suspense?”Du Pianhong asked impatiently, his heart thumping with excitement because of Du Youlong. What she was curious about was what exactly Big Brother wanted to do with Su Lu-er.
It was just a gamble. Why did he involve a twelve-year-old boy?
While she thought about this, she patiently waited for Du Youlong's answer.
Du Youlong furrowed his brows and put away his usual teasing attitude. He looked seriously at Su Lu-er beside him and sighed.""Lu-er's father was once a great general in my hands. A month ago, he sacrificed himself in the war in the northern borders. Lu-er's mother has always blamed us because of this matter and has always opposed Lu-er becoming a soldier. Hence, Lu-er fell out with her family and decided to run away from home and escape to my place.”
Du Youlong paused and secretly observed Lu-er's expression. After he saw that Lu-er still had a wooden and cold expression, he shook his head disappointedly and continued,""Lu-er is still a child after all, but she has lived with the mission of revenge since she was young. Such a small child should have his own playmates, should have enjoyed the love of his parents, should have been happy and happy…but, hey…"
However, he was living like a dead tree, feeling the changes in the world.
Only now did Du Pian Hong know why Lu-er would be so angry when she called Lu-er " little brother " back then, angrily calling her " auntie ". It turned out that this seemingly small body actually hid such deep revenge and pain.
Perhaps Su Lu-er hoped that he could grow up faster, become stronger, and avenge his father earlier.
Du Youlong saw that everyone was silent and solemn. He reached into his sleeve and took out a brown envelope. He continued," These are letters written by Lu-er's mother. Lu-er has never read each of them, and they are still preserved at my place in perfect condition. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. I hope that Lu-er can return home and reunite with her mother and not continue to stay here and train her troops.”
"General! How could you?" When Su Lu-er heard this, a crack finally appeared on her ice-cold face." How can you decide for me on your own? Anyway, I'm not going home! I'm not going home!"
"This is a military order!" Du Youlong shouted loudly, and his deafening voice instantly intimidated Su Lu-er, who had lost control." Su Lu-er, listen to my orders. We will set off for home tomorrow. If anyone disobeys the military law, they will be punished!"
Su Lu-er originally wanted to resist, but after hearing the " military order," she became limp and powerless like a deflated balloon. He lowered his head and placed his hands beside him weakly. Now, he was like a child, a child who lived up to his name. He looked so weak and helpless.
His body was so small, and his strength was so insignificant. No matter how much he tried to pretend to be mature and an adult, he was still a child!
Su Lu-er puffed up her cheeks with a displeased expression. He widened his eyes and glared at Du Youlong, his eyes filled with disappointment and anger. Then, he opened his arms and began to wave. He began to wave his fists around randomly, not for anything else but to vent the anger that was difficult to calm down in his heart.
"Du Youlong! I really misjudged you! I thought you were different from that woman and would definitely support my dream. But I was wrong! So you're the same as that woman. You're the same!!”After Su Lu-er finished speaking, she ignored everyone's obstruction and directly dashed out of the door.
"Big Brother, quickly go chase after her. How can you treat Lu-er like this?”Du Pian Hong's intuition told him that his big brother had indeed gone a little overboard, and he could not help but worry about Su Lu-er's current mood.
From Su Lu-er's perspective, she could understand the pain in Su Lu-er's heart at this moment. He clearly had a strong desire to take revenge, but he was too weak to do so.
There was a reason why he would be frustrated, anxious, and resentful!
It was only because he was still young!
"Pian Hong, do you really understand Lu-er's feelings?”Du Youlong only replied with a slightly deeper meaning. His pair of eyes did not miss the instant frozen stiffness on Du Pian Hong's face." As long as Lu-er is still a twelve-year-old child, she will naturally desire to receive love. Pian Hong, let's take this as a bet, a bet on whether Lu-er will be satisfied with the mooncakes that her mother personally made.”
Mooncakes?
What was going on?
Du Pian Hong looked at his big brother in confusion. Why did the bet involve mooncakes?
Du Youlong looked at his sister's silly expression and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.""Pian Hong, you really are stupid. Of course, they had to eat mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I guessed that Lu-er would definitely return home, but whether she ate mooncakes or not was still another matter.”
"Why?"
Du Youlong smiled mysteriously.
