After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Fourteen realized that something was wrong with him when he accompanied Miss Mingjia to Dianzhou in the thirteenth year of Kaiyuan.

In the 13th year of Kaiyuan, Mingjia accompanied his brother Mingjun back to his hometown to take the imperial examination. The guards who accompanied him were the 13th and 14th. When passing through the capital, Li Hansheng sent four more guards to the Xiao brothers and sisters.

But... after the college entrance examination results are announced, Master Mingjun will return to Dianzhou to continue his studies, while Miss Mingjia will go south to Dianzhou, so the guards will have to separate.

"Fourteen, you are older, so you must be more steady in the future, and take good care of Miss Mingjia!"

Thirteen spoke earnestly to Fourteen about the division of labor. Miss Mingjia was young and the journey to Dianzhou was longer, so Thirteen really wanted to escort her personally.

But Miss Mingjia said that with Chengwen and Chengwu around, she would rather Thirteen could stay with Mingjun, as Fourteen's personality is more suitable for being with her.

Mingjun talked with his sister several times and finally agreed to her proposal, but Mingjia had to take all the four new guards away.

When Fourteen heard that he was going to separate from Thirteen, he felt a strong sense of reluctance for the first time.

Thirteen and Fourteen were both orphans. They were taken back by Li Hansheng's personal guards for training. When they were rescued, they were too young to remember their own names at all.

There were fifteen children in that group at the time. The instructor said they could fight, and whoever was stronger would be the boss.

Fourteen...it’s fourteenth!

But at that time, although everyone was a child, there was still a difference in age, and Fourteen was always dissatisfied with this.

Fourteen's dissatisfaction is mainly manifested in the fact that he never calls other people "brother". Even after he becomes an adult, he will only call Cheng Si "fourth brother" when there is something going on.

Four children lived in one dormitory. Fourteen's dormitory was originally occupied by three people, but later only Fourteen and Thirteen lived together.

Because... Xiao Shiwu died in an accident during a field training.

Fourteen watched Little Fifteen die in front of him. This was not the first time he had seen a dead person, but the ones he had seen before were all strangers!

Returning to the dormitory again, seeing Fifteen's pajamas still hanging on the hanger, Fourteen couldn't help but squat down, hugged his knees and burst into tears.

Thirteen came over, squatted down and hugged Fourteen, patting Fourteen's back gently and comforting him softly.

"Cry if you want to! But only this once!"

"Thirteen, we will die too, right? If I die, will you cry for me?"

Fourteen did not wait for Thirteen's answer, because Fourteen fell asleep holding Thirteen's arms, and even Fourteen slept on Thirteen's bed.

The next day, Fourteen woke up early in the morning and found that he was still holding Thirteen's arm. He jumped out of the bed, his face frighteningly red.

"S-sorry, is your arm okay?"

Thirteen rubbed his eyes with his other hand, looked at the sky clearly and found that it was not yet time for his usual training, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It was a little numb at first, but now I don't feel anything anymore. It's still early, so I'll sleep a little longer!"

Fourteen knew that he had made a mistake. Their daily training tasks were heavy, and if Thirteen had an arm that felt uncomfortable today, he would most likely be punished for it.

As a result, Thirteen gained a very diligent little brother who helped him fetch water for washing, folded the quilts, and even went to the kitchen in advance to get meals.

Everyone in the Royal Guard Camp found it strange that Thirteen and Fourteen seemed to have suddenly become close, and why Fourteen was serving Thirteen so diligently.

Thirteen is also very caring towards Fourteen. Fourteen has a somewhat erratic personality, which is not an advantage for him as a bodyguard.

Thirteen often gave Fourteen advice, and when going on missions or errands, he would try his best to go with Fourteen, helping Fourteen solve many difficult tasks.

"Thirteen, you are just too indulgent towards Fourteen! Do you really think you are his Thirteenth Brother?"

There were always people in the camp reminding Thirteen, but Thirteen never felt that he was pampering Fourteen. He felt that he was just giving his companions some ordinary advice.

From the time they joined the Royal Guard Battalion until their separation in Tianjia Village, Thirteen and Fourteen had lived together inseparable for sixteen years!

When Fourteen said goodbye to Cheng Si and Chen Liu in Qu County, he felt calm at all, and was even a little excited. After all, he could pass by the capital and go back to see the others.

But now, about to part with Thirteen, Fourteen's mood is completely different.

The Xiao family’s old house in Tianjia Village is very small. There are three beds placed side by side in a small bedroom, and six guards take turns to guard and rest.

Fourteen especially hated Cheng Wen or Cheng Wu sleeping next to Thirteen, but he could only be in a group with Cheng Zhi and Cheng De. After all, these four guards were young and needed someone to lead them.

Mingjia did not go directly to Dianzhou, but took a boat to Xuzhou and stayed in Xuzhou for a long time.

There are always a lot of things to do during the day, and Fourteen's mind is full of errands and Miss Mingjia's safety.

But at night, when it was late and quiet, Fourteen couldn't help but think of Thirteen...

When he lived with Miss Mingjia in Tonglin County, Fourteen had completely come to terms with his feelings and he seemed to be unable to accept it.

After all, when I woke up from a dream in the middle of the night, I found that I had desires. I knew very well who the person in my dream was!
