Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

At this moment, the bright moon was like a hungry tiger, staring at him viciously, as if it might pounce on him and tear him to pieces at any time.

Faced with such a ferocious gaze, how could Shadan dare to have the slightest thought of resistance?

"Tell me, are you willing?" Mingyue roared again in a low voice, his voice full of majesty and oppression.

Shadan was so frightened that he trembled all over and stammered, "Ah... should I be willing... or should I not be willing?" As he spoke, he glanced around with the corner of his eyes, as if trying to find something around him that could give him a hint or help, but in the end he found nothing.

Seeing this, Mingyue's face became even gloomier. She said coldly: "Answer yourself! Don't look around for the answer! No one can help you now, understand? Speak! Are you willing or not!" Her tone became more and more severe, which made people feel fear.

Under such horrible pressure, Shadan's body trembled slightly, but he finally gritted his teeth, mustered up all his courage, and whispered in a trembling voice that seemed like it would break at any time: "Erya...the child from Lao Wang's family next door...I really don't think I know her."

"What?" Mingyue's eyes widened, looking at Shadan in disbelief, "That's the person you grew up with naked, how could you not recognize him?"

Cold sweat dripped down Shadan's forehead. He shook his head vigorously and said with a speechless expression: "But I really don't know him! Maybe my memory is too bad..."

"I heard from my mother with her own ears that you two were inseparable when you were little, just like a pair of childhood sweethearts. You also often acted naughty together, causing chaos around you. You have such a close relationship, and now you tell me that you don't know her?" Mingyue became more and more excited as she spoke, her chest heaving violently.

Mingyue looked at the fool in front of her who had a confused look on his face and seemed to have really forgotten everything in the past, and suddenly an indescribable joy surged in her heart.

However, she did not show it. Instead, she pretended to be angry and cursed, "Hmph, what a heartless scumbag!" After that, she turned and left, leaving Shadan standing there stupidly, at a loss as to what to do.

"What on earth is this?"

Silly Dan picked up the package his mother had given him on the table and opened it. When he saw two pairs of cloth shoes, he happily tried them on.

"Oh, that's perfect. How did my mother know what kind of shoes I should wear at my age? She's amazing."

I tried the clothes again and they fit perfectly.

Seeing these things makes me inexplicably sad.

Although he came from another world, the scene of a mother worrying about her son even when he is thousands of miles away, as the bright moon passed by, deepened the affection between mother and son.

Shadan stroked the brand new clothes, feeling mixed emotions.

Next, he had to find out what exactly happened regarding his mother's matter.

He decided to find Mingyue and find out what was going on.

He came to Mingyue's door, hesitated for a moment, and then knocked on the door gently.

The door opened, and Mingyue was surprised to see that it was Shadan. Shadan scratched his head and said awkwardly, "Um... I want to ask about Erya."

Mingyue didn't even let him into the house. She just closed the door and left Shadan alone.

"Huh? What's going on?"

He didn't get discouraged and just thought that Mingyue was still angry with him.

Shadan looked at the closed door from outside and expressed all his doubts.

Mingyue in the door was silent for a moment after hearing this, then sighed: "In fact, you have a good mother, a mother who cares about you very much. You look old. Are you old now?"

Listening to the roar of the Hedong Lion in the room, Shadan touched his nose and said, "I am only seventeen years old this year. Do you think I am old?"

"Humph! Who knows? I see your mother is very worried!"

Shadan was speechless listening to Mingyue's sarcastic words outside the door.

These were just the old man's words of concern. Was it necessary for Mingyue to react so strongly?

Besides, children at this age generally get married at a relatively early age.

In some rural areas, children even start getting married at the age of twelve or thirteen.

There is nothing strange about this.

But then I thought about Mingyue across from me. She is already twenty years old this year. If his mother was anxious when he was eighteen, what would she be like when she was twenty?

Could it be that she was missing her mother? No one cared for her or made decisions for her, so she missed her dead mother even more.

Thinking about it this way, Shadan seemed to have found the crux of the matter.

Shadan has parents, but Mingyue's parents are both dead, and she is the only one left in this world.

Although she is a martial arts expert and learns knowledge quickly and well, she is still a human being after all. Her parents were killed when she was very young and she has never had parental love since childhood. She was suddenly reminded of her sad past by Zhang Guilan, which made her so emotional.

That must be it.

Shadan looked at the bright moon inside the gate again and began to feel more and more sympathetic towards him.

"Comrade Mingyue, I apologize to you. I promise to be kind to you in the future and never get angry again."

Shadan felt a sharp pain in his heart and felt very guilty towards Mingyue.

This is a dereliction of duty as a leader. After all, there are differences between men and women, and there are always things that cannot be taken into consideration.

He bowed deeply, apologized, and left.

Mingyue was left inside the room with a confused look on her face. Listening to the footsteps outside gradually fading away, she quickly opened the door and looked at Shadan's lonely back. Mingyue thought that he was still obsessed with Erya.

"Could it be that he suddenly remembered who Arya was and came to ask me about her, but now he can't find out, so he looks so miserable."

Mingyue shook her head, she felt that she was overthinking.

Just as she was about to close the door, Shadan suddenly turned around and shouted, "See you tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock, under the big tree at the west entrance of the village!" After that, he ran away quickly.

Mingyue was stunned. She didn't know what Shadan meant, but she felt a little expectant in her heart.

The next day, Mingyue put on her most beautiful dress and came under the big tree on time, only to find that Shadan had been waiting for her for a long time.

Shadan walked forward with a smile, handed Mingyue a bunch of wild flowers from the roadside, and said seriously: "I'm sorry, I was wrong yesterday. I hope you can forgive me, and I hope you can be happy. From now on, you will no longer be alone, and I will always be with you."

Mingyue looked at Shadan and suddenly said this.

What do you mean?

At this moment, Mingyue, who was originally expecting something, now has a confused mind.

"What are you doing?"

"Yesterday, you came back and got mad at me..."

Mingyue was about to retort at this time, but Shadan quickly waved his hand to stop her and continued: "But I know why. As a leader, I didn't expect your inner world to be so sensitive. My parents care about me, which must have brought up your sadness. After all, you are the only one left now. I can also understand your inner thoughts as an orphan..."

As Shadan spoke, he stretched out his hands and held Mingyue in his arms to comfort her.

Just when the other was stunned, the two hugged each other, and Shadan even used a little strength to hug each other tightly.

At this moment, Mingyue was stunned. What was going on?

"Comrade Mingyue, if you don't mind, I will be your brother, your dear brother!"

"Snapped!"

There was a loud and crisp slap, and then five finger marks appeared on Shadan's face.

"Are you sick? Don't you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other? I'm a virgin, and you can't take advantage of me even if you're the leader!"

Mingyue became angrier as she spoke, and her fists were clenched so hard that they made crackling sounds.

Suddenly, Mingyue's eyes were blurred with tears.

"I'll tell the chief that you molested me, wuwuwuwu."

Mingyue wiped her tears and ran away.

The fool was left covering his left cheek, at a loss as to what to do.

It seemed like a lot of things happened in this moment, but it also seemed like nothing happened. But why did he get beaten?

“Is it because of the times?”

He remembered that in this era, there was no such thing as hugging when it came to comforting people.

"Am I being indecent?"

It seems true.

How to do?

Silly Dan was like an ant on hot pot, not knowing what to do.

Shadan realized that his behavior might have caused misunderstanding, so he decided to find Mingyue to explain it clearly.

In fact, he was more afraid that Mingyue would tell the leader. The problem of lifestyle was a big deal. Even if he forgave it now, it would be brought up in the future.

So I have to find Mingyue quickly and explain it clearly.

He looked for Mingyue everywhere and finally found her by the river.

She was just holding a candied haws in her hand and eating it happily. What was going on?

Logically speaking, shouldn't I be crying?

Just think of it as an illusion.

"Mingyue, I didn't mean it. I really just wanted to comfort you. In our place, hugging is a way to express friendliness and care. I didn't mean anything else, believe me." Shadan explained hurriedly.

Mingyue raised her head and looked at Shadan's sincere eyes. Should she swallow the candied haws in her mouth or spit it out?

"I believe you, but... I have never felt that kind of warmth. After my parents passed away, no one has ever hugged me like this again..." Mingyue said softly.

Shadan's heart softened. He took Mingyue's hand and said solemnly: "From now on, I will be your family. I will always be by your side."

"Family? What kind of family?" Mingyue asked curiously.

"Of course we are a family!" Shadan answered as a matter of course.

"Oh... I see. In that case, from now on, can I call your mother 'Mom' and your father 'Dad'?" Mingyue continued to ask.

"Well... that's probably what it means, right? Isn't that how family members call each other?" Shadan nodded in agreement.

Mingyue was so excited when she heard this that she almost jumped up and couldn't help but shout, "Yeah!"

Then she flew away like a happy little bird.

However, Shadan was a little nervous because he had previously begged Mingyue not to tell the leader about the hug.

Seeing Mingyue running farther and farther away, he hurriedly shouted:

"Um... about the indecent assault, do we no longer need to report it to the chief?"
