The End Times as a Song

Chapter 126 Method

"...!"

Tu Shanlong remained silent, suddenly becoming quiet. Li Luo tugged at Tu Shanyan's sleeve, signaling him to say something. Tu Shanyan glanced at Li Luo, then reluctantly stepped forward to comfort Tu Shanlong.

"Don't worry! Our mother will live to be a hundred years old."

Tu Shanyan awkwardly walked up to Tu Shanlong, glanced at him, and said something in a straightforward manner.

"Uh-huh……!"

Tu Shanlong then showed a happy expression and replied to Tu Shanyan.

"That's more like what an older brother would say! Little girl, call him brother now...!"

Seeing that the time was ripe, Yan Cai struck while the iron was hot and added fuel to the fire, further warming the bond between the siblings.

"……!I……!"

At this moment, Tu Shanlong was at a loss and too embarrassed to speak.

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean,' call him 'brother'...!"

Yan Cai looked at Tu Shanlong expectantly and urged him to call him "brother" quickly.

"I……!"

Tu Shanlong glanced at Yan Cai, then at Tu Shanyan, too embarrassed to speak coherently. She lowered her head, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Hey, Yan Cai, can you stop meddling in other people's business? What's the point of making things difficult for her like this? Don't you see she needs more time?"

Perhaps out of kinship, or perhaps out of protectiveness, Tu Shanyan didn't hold back in confronting Yan Cai.

"Tu Shanyan, humph, I guess I was just being nosy."

Yan Cai fiddled with the fan in his hand, snorted coldly, and said angrily to Tu Shan Yan.

"Brother...! Brother...!"

Tu Shanlong mustered her courage, raised her head, and shouted, shocking everyone present. Tu Shanlong's face flushed even redder, but she also felt a great sense of relief; the suppressed resentment deep within her vanished completely. Everyone present stared at Tu Shanlong in disbelief.

"If you had just shouted it out earlier, you would have felt much better...! That's right, I didn't misjudge you. You are indeed quite intelligent, worthy of being the heir of the Nine-Tailed Fox of Qingqiu."

Yan Cai waved her fan, swaying her graceful figure as she walked towards Tu Shanlong. She draped the fan over Tu Shanlong's shoulder, looking at him with a hint of admiration, and offered a few words of praise.

"...!"

After much persuasion, Tu Shanlong came to terms with it and accepted Tu Shanyan as his older brother. However, Tu Shanyan seemed not to have accepted his younger sister yet. He felt uneasy, knowing full well that his suffering had nothing to do with this sister; they were both victims. He truly didn't know how to accept this unfamiliar younger sister. For a moment, he was at a loss for words.

"Ah Yan...!"

Li Luo tugged at Tu Shan Yan's sleeve and winked at him, reminding him to say something, at least to give Tu Shan Long a way out.

“I’ve never been someone’s older brother before, so I don’t know how to be one, but I will learn how to be a good older brother. I think we both need time to understand each other.”

Tu Shanyan looked at Tu Shanlong and suddenly said a bunch of nonsensical things.

"Tu Shanyan, what do you mean by this? Are you admitting it or not? This is a very strange statement...!"

Hearing this, Yan Cai became anxious and couldn't help but interrupt again. Li Luo stopped Yan Cai.

"I understand, you mean...!"

Tu Shanlong replied to Tu Shanyan.

"You really understand...!"

Tu Shanyan probably didn't expect that Tu Shanlong would be able to understand her meaning.

"Uh-huh……!"

Tu Shanlong nodded again, indicating that she understood Tu Shanyan's words.

"OK then!"
