Demon respects life, Master, don’t cry, disciple is wrong

Yang Zhao pulled the person into his arms. He lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "It's been more than half a month. Did Ah Chen miss me?"

Shen Chen was speechless.

Yang Zhao: "Achen, it's useless for you to resent me. It's a foregone conclusion that you and I will never return to the Shen family."

Shen Chen was originally the legitimate son of the Shen family, but after his mother died of illness when he was young, he was bullied by the bastard in the family. Because he was weak and poor in speech, he was not valued by his father.

Yang Zhaogui was the legitimate son of Duke Yang, and everyone who met him called him Prince Yang.

Yang Zhao remembered that it was a snowy winter when he saw Shen Chen again when he grew up. At that time, he had just returned from an expedition with his father and was arranged by his father to study in an academy.

That day, there was heavy snow falling in the sky. Shen Chen was still wearing thin clothes and stood thinly in the snow admiring the plum blossoms.

The first time he came to the academy, Yang Zhao rode in. He dismounted and walked towards Shen Chen: "Which young master doesn't listen to the teacher's lectures and actually admires plum blossoms here?"

Shen Chen looked back at the person behind him. He frowned to express his disgust at the visitor.

Seeing his impatient look, Yang Zhao became even more interested: "What's so good about plum blossoms?"

After saying that, he slapped the tree with his palm, and the snow on the tree crashed onto their heads.

Looking at Shen Chen being teased, Yang Zhao held back his smile and said, "Shen Chen, I haven't seen you for many years, how come you can't even recognize your brother?"

Shen Chen looked at the tall man in front of him and couldn't think of where he had seen him before. But after hearing him say that he should be called brother, Shen Chen suddenly remembered that he often went to Yang's house to play when he was a child...

Yang Zhao looked up and down at Shen Chen in front of him. He was obviously the legitimate son of the family, but his clothes were not as good as those of a servant of the Duke's Mansion.

Suddenly, he remembered that he used to play with Shen Chen when he was young. At that time, he was still a little kid and he called him "brother". Once, he took Shen Chen to a hunting ground to hunt, but when he came back, Shen Chen had a high fever. If he didn't retreat, he would be beaten five times by his father.

"If you are weak, don't stand in the snow and blow the wind." Yang Zhao took off his cloak and put it on Shen Chen.

Shen Chen frowned, took off the cloak and gave it back to Yang Zhao: "No, it's not cold."

Yang Zhao looked at the thin Shen Chen in front of him. He was so different from the milky child when he was young: "Shen Chen, you used to call me brother."

Yang Zhao really liked this younger brother. After meeting him for the first time when they were young, Yang Zhao kept crying and asking his mother-in-law to take Shen Chen away and make him his younger brother.

The Duke's wife couldn't laugh or cry, so she had to often call Shen Chen to the house to play.

Yang Zhao was like a monkey when he was young, causing injuries all over his body all day long. However, Shen Chen was a calm child, but he also followed Yang Zhao's mischief.

But everything happened when Shen Chen was nine years old.

The imperial court was implementing reforms, and various factions were scheming. Shen Chen's grandfather, the prime minister of the dynasty, was killed by a traitor and lost power overnight. He was even ordered to be executed. His uncle was beheaded soon after, and his mother was infected with cold due to excessive sadness. In the end, I couldn't survive that winter because I was too worried.

Shen Chen has been lonely and helpless since he was nine years old. He has no protection from his mother, no influence from his grandfather's family, and he is weak and unpopular with Shen's father. His status in the Shen family has plummeted.

Yang Zhao, who was two years older than him, insisted on coming to the Shen family after hearing the news. He wanted to take Shen Chen away and bring him to the Duke's Mansion for his father to adopt him as his adopted son.

Yang Zhao caused a farce of forcing his father to adopt his adopted son, which ended with him being sent to the border to fight.

When he left, he gave Shen Chen a large amount of money.

……

"Achen, what's the matter? You don't recognize your brother anymore?"

Shen Chen didn't know how to face someone he hadn't seen for nine years.

Yang Zhao rubbed his head habitually: "Let's go, don't stand in the snow."

Shen Chen didn't move.

Yang Zhao pulled him.

Shen Chen staggered towards Yang Zhao.

Yang Zhao didn't expect Shen Chen to be so thin: "Why are you so thin?"

Seeing Liu Minghan approaching from the side, Shen Chen immediately pushed Yang Zhao's hand away.

Liu Minghan glared at Yang Zhao: "Shen Chen, what are you doing?"

Shen Chen: "Nothing."

Yang Zhao stood in front of Shen Chen: "Who are you Shen Chen?"

"fiancé."

Yang Zhao looked back at Shen Chen in disbelief. This dynasty allowed men to marry men, but there was no precedent for a child from an aristocratic family to marry someone else.

Yang Zhao tightened Shen Chen's hand: "Follow me."

Liu Minghan grabbed Shen Chen's other arm: "Shen Chen, you and I are engaged, are you sure you want to go with him?"

Shen Chen shook off the two people's hands and walked straight towards the school without saying a word.

A few months ago, Liu Minghan fell in love with Shen Chen at first sight. In order to marry Shen Chen, he did not hesitate to break up with his family.

……

In the school, Yang Zhao watched Shen Chen, who was dozing off in class and ranked last in the exam, puzzled. In order to compete with him, the man who worked hard on his archery skills for two days and two nights bluntly said that he would win. he.

Yang Zhao patted the sleeping Shen Chen in front of him: "How long will Chen Chen sleep?"

Shen Chen changed his position and continued to sleep in front of the table.

Yang Zhao: "Why don't I teach you, and you won't get the last grade in the exam next time?"

Shen Chen raised his head: "Yang Zhao, I am already notorious. I advise you to stay away from me."

Yang Zhao: "If you reject the Liu family's marriage proposal, I can stay away from you."

Shen Chen: "Why refuse?"

Yang Zhao was speechless.

From that day on, Yang Zhao began to tutor Shen Chen.

He taught for a full half month, but found that Shen Chen made no progress at all and could not even write a poem.

One late night, Yang Zhao was tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. He went to the training ground and practiced until the middle of the night. The thought of Shen Chen and Liu Minghan's engagement made him angry. He didn't know why he was so angry. He felt so depressed. It was really heartbreaking and made him feel deeply exhausted.

The next day, Yang Zhao continued to teach Shen Chen to review his homework. The snow outside the window was falling and the fire in the house was burning brightly.

Shen Chen was drowsy.

Just when he was about to hit his head on the table, Yang Zhao immediately grabbed his head and slowly leaned it against the table.

He looked at Shen Chen's sleeping posture and smiled unconsciously.

He felt that he was so thin, and wanted to buy some delicious food to make him fatter. He wanted to take him away from the Shen family, and he wanted to hear him call him brother a few times.

Yang Zhao suddenly froze when he realized that he had these thoughts. He stared blankly at the sleeping Shen Chen.

Shen Chen's eyes widened, and he looked harmless, but there was an air of coldness about him that kept strangers away from him.

It was as if he was wrapped in countless armors.

Maybe he was dreaming of something unhappy, and he frowned.

Yang Zhao raised his hand and touched his eyebrows gently. He looked at it carefully and even counted the moles on Shen Chen's face. There was one mole under the eyes, one on the profile and one on the corner of the eyebrow.

When Shen Chen woke up, there was no trace of the person next to him. He straightened up and yawned, and the big cloak on his body slipped to the ground. Shen Chen picked up the clothes and looked around, but there was no trace of Yang Zhao.

From that day on, Shen Chen never saw Yang Zhao again, and heard that he seemed to have gone to suppress bandits.

……

A few months later.

"Did you hear that the prince recently hired another aide?" Fan Siwei said.
