When Hui Ran rushed to Beihai, he was full of worries about Bai Jing, so he was in a hurry.When he arrived in Beihai, he was sure that Bai Jing really left the forbidden area and was safe and sound, and his hanging heart fell to the ground.

After that, Hui Ran was unexpectedly not at all anxious about when to return to the Bear Clan.

The main purpose of Hui Ran's trip is to confirm Bai Jing's safety with his own eyes, and at the same time, he will also secretly observe the sixth prince's attitude towards his elder brother.

Bai Jing has been trapped in the forbidden area alone for so many years, and Huan Ran doesn't know, whether the eldest brother returns this time, whether the sixth prince will treat him as before, and whether the eldest brother is enjoying his life in Beihai or not.

Of course, Hui Ran's final result was better than he expected, and the sixth prince attached great importance to Bai Jing.

Hui Ran rejoiced that his eldest brother successfully escaped from the forbidden area, but at the same time envied his dedication to the sixth prince and the care the sixth prince took for his eldest brother.

Some things, Hui Ran didn't tell Bai Jing, after all, Bai Jing just came back, so he should rest with peace of mind.And his various experiences in the Bear Clan are destined to be resolved by himself.

After Hui Ran saw Bai Jing, he stayed with Bai Jing in Beihai for a while, and then he left.

However, Hui Ran who left Beihai did not go directly to the Bear Clan, but found a temporary residence not far from Beihai.

He doesn't plan to go back right away, only when he is far away from father bear and cub can he calm down a little and seriously consider his future.

Over the years, many things have happened, some made Hui Ran happy, and some made Hui Ran feel irritated.

In the final analysis, it is the cub's father, Xiong Jun, who has stirred up many emotions of Hui Ran.

Hui Ran admits that he was the one who first set his sights on Xiong Jun.

But at that time, Xiong Jun was still taking care of his family.Although the couple's emotional discord led to their separation, Xiongjun still has a young son by his side.After all, Xiong Jun has become a family, and those who have wives, Hui Ran has to think more.

Under such circumstances, Ash has always avoided mentioning any relationship issues.

He set a suitable identity for himself, and as Xiong Jun's friend, he would accompany Xiong Jun and Xiong Cub and give him help within his ability.

Facts have proved that Hui Ran's step has been very successful.

He successfully gained Xiong Jun's trust and became a friend whom he valued. Even Little Xiong Cub trusted Hui Ran very much.

Year after year, Hui Ran patiently stood by Xiong Jun's side.

He gradually integrated into Xiongjun's life, occupying an increasingly important position.Their relationship is closer than that of friends, if not as intense as a lifetime of companionship.

But Hui Ran believes that as long as he is given a little more time, the subtle influence of such gentle means will succeed.

The future seems to be bright, but Hui Ran is always very careful, and he dare not speak out if he expresses his feelings frankly.

He can only create conditions constantly, let Xiong Jun notice his thoughts, and wait for Xiong Jun to tell him what he should say one step ahead.

The reason why Hui Ran didn't speak first was very simple.Xiong Jun didn't give a clear attitude, Hui Ran was a little scared, and lacked the confidence he should have.

Since they got to know each other, Xiong Jun has never expressed anything clearly to Hui Ran.In addition, Xiongjun once had a wife, maybe one day he will find another wife.

What Hui Ran can give is not necessarily what Xiong Jun wants.

Year after year of dedication, year after year of waiting, he is looking forward to the other party's response.

As long as Xiongjun is willing to take a step forward and stay with Hui Ran, then the remaining difficulties will be solved by Hui Ran.

Hui Ran understands that this road is bound to be long and arduous.

Fortunately, he is the only one accompanying Xiong Jun, which makes Hui Ran nervous, but also relieved that he is approaching the ending he expected step by step.

However, things are unpredictable.

The patriarch of the Xiong clan suffered a sudden accident and his life was in danger, which broke the peace of the Xiong clan.The people of the clan were not in harmony, and they even got involved with foreign forces when they were fighting for power and profit, which caused countless troubles.

Even in the vortex of internal and external troubles, Hui Ran remained exceptionally calm.

He is not afraid of the unceasing chaos of the bear tribe, he can stay by Xiongjun and the little bear cubs, and he is not afraid of external forces with malicious intentions, he and Xiongjun can face it together.

However, the moment Xiong Jun brought his seriously injured ex-wife home to take care of him, Hui Ran lost his composure.

His heart was at a loss for an instant.

With the move-in of an old man in the newly built small courtyard, an unexplainable strange atmosphere was added.

They vacated a room for their ex-wife, even though it was Xiongjun who asked Hui Ran to live with him, even though there was only one bed in the house, Hui Ran couldn't be happy.

My ashen heart was heavy.

Only he himself knows, his uneasiness.

It was a small bed, but Hui Ran deeply felt that there was a long distance between the two of them, and it was no longer a distance that could be touched by raising his hand.

It may be that Xiongjun has never mentioned his former wife in these years, nor has he expressed the idea of ​​remarrying, some things were deliberately ignored by Hui Ran.

But now, Hui Ran had to face these problems.

The disputes of the Bear Clan continued, and so did the insomnia of Ash Burning.

At night, Hui Ran thought for a long time, no matter whether Xiong Jun was awake or not, he said directly: "She was seriously injured. Now the clan is in such a mess, and the medicinal materials can't be found, so I have to go out as soon as possible."

After a while, Xiong Jun suddenly responded: "There are more and more people from foreign races, and the way out is not safe. You stay at home, I will go."

Hui Ran was silent for a while, and slowly said: "Some medicines are hard to find, and you don't understand them. I have seen the ingredients for the main medicine near Jiuyou Lake. Let me go, try to come back early, and save the medicine." People matter."

Xiong Jun didn't answer, just when Hui Ran thought he wouldn't say any more, he said: "Thank you."

Although it was dark night, Hui Ran still did not turn around.

He didn't want the other party to discover his expression at the moment: "There is no need to say thanks between you and me."

As soon as the day dawned, Ash set off.

The journey was not smooth, and even encountered a lot of troubles, especially after he came to the vicinity of Jiuyou Lake, he was often involved in the conflicts of the Jiao clan.

Hui Ran hurried back to the Bear Clan as fast as he could.After he bought the medicinal materials, he stopped by to buy some daily necessities for Xiong Jun and Xiong Cub.

However, after Hui Ran returned to the Bear Clan, he didn't enter the house immediately.

His footsteps stopped outside the gate of the small courtyard.

At dusk, smoke rose from the kitchen, accompanied by the sound of fighting not far away, exuding a unique atmosphere of home.

The ex-wife's health still didn't improve, and she sat in the yard with a pale face.Xiong Jun was busy in and out of the kitchen, preparing dinner unskillfully.The little bear cub sneaked into the kitchen to care about when the meal was served, and then ran to his mother, dancing and talking about something.

The family is happy and harmonious.

Hui Ran knew a long time ago that one day he might see this scene, and he also told himself that he must face it calmly.

But, when he saw it, he couldn't tell what it was like.

He can't hate this ex-wife, it's not that she snatched away the people around Hui Ran, but after she gave up her position, Hui Ran had the opportunity to work hard for it.

The good-natured ex-wife has always been generous and decent in her dealings with others. There are no secret tricks, only calmness in the face.

It is precisely because of this that Hui Ran can't say anything, can't do anything.

Most importantly, the relationship between Hui Ran and Xiong Jun has not been settled, and Xiong Jun has never promised Hui Ran.

Even if the cub's mother wants to return to this home, it's perfectly normal.

Back then, it was their disagreement with each other that led to their separation.After so many years, have they been able to live in harmony, and have they realized that the other is the person in their lives?

Hui Ran stood for a while, put away his excess emotions, and stepped into the yard.

The ex-wife was the first to see Hui Ran and nodded at him.

She didn't know what Hui Ran and Xiong Jun discussed at night, and Hui Ran left early the next morning and didn't have the heart to wake her up.Xiong Jun didn't say anything until she woke up and found that Ash had disappeared.

With an apologetic face, she said, "I'm sorry for causing you a lot of trouble."

Hui Ran smiled and said nothing.

Little Xiong Cub had just strolled to the door of the kitchen when he heard movement in the yard and hurried over: "Second Uncle Hui, you are back!"

Ashes came back much later than expected, and they were all very worried.

Little Xiong Cub accepted the gift that Hui Ran bought for him with excitement, and rushed into the kitchen shouting: "Father, Second Uncle Hui is back."

Hearing the sound, Xiong Jun quickly walked out of the kitchen. He was not used to the life of cooking, but he had to cook by himself.

At this moment, when he saw the ashes burning in the courtyard, his expression immediately relaxed a little: "It's good to be back safely."

Hui Ran casually mentioned that he was delayed by family affairs, so he stopped talking about the experience of this trip.

As the ashes came back, Xiong Jun decided to add a few more dishes tonight.Xiong Jun asked Hui Ran to go back to the house to rest for a while, and he took the cub into the kitchen to help.

Hui Ran didn't want to be bored in the house, he sat in the yard with his ex-wife.The two talked without a word, roughly talking about the injury of the ex-wife, and the situation in the clan after Hui Ran left.

After a while, the ex-wife raised the corners of her mouth and expressed obvious kindness to Hui Ran: "I heard a lot of things from the brats, and you are very kind to them."

Hui Ran didn't answer the words, but returned a smile.The Xiongjun he cares about will naturally be kind to Xiongjun and Xiongzi.

Similarly, Xiong Jun is also very good at Ash Burning.It is a pity that it is not easy for Hui Ran to get the expected response and further develop their relationship.

"He attaches great importance to you," the ex-wife said slowly, without bringing in too much personal emotion. "After you left, he has been worried about you."

The ex-wife looked at Hui Ran a few times: "He has changed a lot, and he has become better and better."

If Xiongjun was like this back then, they probably wouldn't be separated.

Hui Ran was startled when he heard the words, thought for a while, and then asked: "Then will you stay?"

Now that Xiongjun is different from before and getting better and better, can they live together again?

Regarding this, the ex-wife shook her head: "No. The past is the past. What's more, he didn't change for me."

She rushed to the Bear Clan this time because something happened to the Bear Clan.This is the place where she used to live, and here is her child. She has to come back and have a look.

Who knew that she was so unlucky that she was plotted against, injured so badly, and caused more troubles.

The ex-wife glanced in the direction of the kitchen, and her eyes fell on Hui Ran: "You are fine."

Hui Ran didn't feel much joy when he got the other party's affirmation.

He is very good, and Xiong Jun is also very good to him, but there is a big gap between these and what he desires.

Hui Ran once asked himself, if he couldn't stay with Xiong Jun for the rest of his life, would he stay with Xiong Jun for the rest of his life?

His answer was, no.

He couldn't accept Xiongjun's love and sweetness with others.If Xiongjun's choice is not him, he will definitely go as far away as possible, so far that he will never see this person again in this life, and he will never hear news about this person again.

Since the cub's mother can understand and understand, Hui Ran believes that no matter how dull Xiong Jun is, after so many years, he can realize that his feelings for him are very special.

It's just that Xiong Jun didn't make a decision, and Hui Ran couldn't bear to force Xiong Jun to make a decision, so he waited all this time.

Hui Ran thought that the days of aimless waiting would continue for a long time, but some people had no eyesight.What should be said, what should not be said, I keep talking, trying to break the tranquility in front of me.

Ever since Xiongjun took care of his ex-wife, some voices appeared one after another.

Someone persuaded Xiongjun that his ex-wife was very good, and that Xiongzi should have a mother by his side.Xiongjun can take this opportunity to live a good life with his ex-wife.

Some people suspect that Hui Ran lives in Xiong Jun's house with bad intentions and plans for the family property.Even, someone ridiculed Hui Ran's dirty mind and climbed into Xiongjun's bed.

Even if you know what you know, the situation is very different if you say it or not.

If you don't say anything, you can pretend that you don't know anything.Once you speak, no matter what the final result is, you can no longer escape.

Hui Ran never denied it, he was very eager to hear the other party's answer, a clear and clear answer about the relationship between them.

At first, he thought that if Xiong Jun spoke first, and then he nodded in agreement, he would get the initiative.

But now, Hui Ran found helplessly that this was not the case, the longer he waited, the more passive he fell into.

The gossip and gossips in the clan aroused Xiongjun's dissatisfaction, and he finally stood up and complained.

At that moment, an astonishing light flashed in Hui Ran's eyes, as if it could light up the whole life.He looked at Xiongjun without blinking, waiting for his words.

"You don't know him, don't talk about him!" Xiong Jun explained, "He is important to me..."

"friend."

In an instant, the light in the gray eyes was extinguished.

At the moment when Xiong Jun's words paused, a burning heart was stuck there.He obviously felt that he might not be able to wait, but he couldn't help but look forward to it, and then his hope without suspense fell through.

They are important friends.

Yeah, they've been great friends all along.

A sentence that has been heard countless times, but it made Hui Ran unable to fall asleep that night.He lay on his side on the bed, staring out the window for a long time, motionless.

Xiong Jun next to him was also not asleep, tossing and turning non-stop.

Later, Hui Ran heard Xiong Jun call out his name in a low voice, Hui Ran didn't look back.

As the disputes within the Xiong clan slowed down, the ex-wife's health improved day by day.

She mentioned that she wanted to leave, but Hui Ran took the lead in rejecting her request: "Heal your wounds at ease, we are much safer here than outside."

This one we include Grey, Xiongjun and Cub.

Hearing this, the ex-wife couldn't help but sigh: "You persuaded me to stay, but you yourself want to leave, don't you?"

Hui Ran didn't deny her words: "This is the residence of the Bear Clan, I'm Jiao, I have to leave sooner or later."

After a moment of silence, the ex-wife sighed: "He has changed a lot, and he was even more annoying before. I can see that he cares about you. He probably needs a little time to make a decision on this matter."

Hui Ran responded in a low voice: "There is a lot of time, he can take his time to think about it."

Everything went as his ex-wife guessed, Hui Ran persuaded his ex-wife to stay for a few more days until he fully recovered from the illness.But he himself didn't stay in the Bear Clan for too long. Bai Jing, who had been missing for many years, came back, and Hui Ran had to go to Beihai himself.

Hui Ran refused Xiong Jun's request to go with him on the grounds that the Xiong Clan was not stable yet, and his ex-wife and cub needed someone to take care of him.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm at brother's place, nothing will happen."

Saying goodbye to Xiong Jun this time, the only thing Hui Ran seldom said was "I'll be back soon".

He always said this to Xiong Jun when he went out before, but not this time.

So, after Hui Ran came to Beihai and met Bai Jing, he didn't contact Xiong Jun, and he didn't plan to return to the Xiong Clan immediately.

Xiongjun needs time, and he also needs time to seriously think about their future.

He is not willing to be this friend, if Xiong Jun insists on maintaining such a relationship, it is hard to say what will happen to them in the future.

Aside from his unsatisfactory relationship, Hui Ran has many other important matters, such as his cultivation.

The third younger brother, Heixi, had outstanding talent since he was a child. Even if he failed once, he still succeeded in transforming into a dragon, and even possessed the power of a god, far stronger than ordinary dragons.

The eldest brother Bai Jing was lucky. With the help of the sixth prince, he took the magic medicine of the dragon clan and triggered the opportunity to transform into a dragon.

Hui Ran knows very well that there are only a handful of Jiao people who can transform into dragons in the end, and he may not be able to succeed even if he spends his entire life.Moreover, his opportunity to transform into a dragon did not appear.

However, even if he can't transform into a dragon, he still has to adjust his mood and practice hard.Can't transform into a dragon, he is by no means an unattainable goal to become a strong man in the Jiao clan.

When Hui Ran received another message from Xiong Jun, he was on his way to Bibo Lake.

Today's Bibo Lake has long belonged to the third brother who is on the other side of the crack. However, Bibo Lake was the first territory that Hui Ran had delineated, and it was very suitable for him to rest temporarily.

Xiongjun's news is not long, there is no sweet talk, it is as concise as ever.

He asked Hui Ran how he was doing in Beihai, and whether he was used to it.

With Hui Ran's understanding of Xiong Jun, it's not difficult for him to feel that Xiong Jun didn't ask for something, and Xiong Jun wanted to ask Hui Ran when he would go back.

However, since the other party didn't know the question, Hui Ran also pretended not to understand.

After a while, Hui Ran told Xiong Jun that he had benefited a lot from talking with his elder brother in detail.He is already on the way out for training at the moment, concentrating on training and improving his own abilities, so Xiong Jun doesn't need to look for him.

If Xiong Jun won't be able to contact him for a while, don't be nervous, he may be in retreat.After leaving the customs, he will notify Xiongjun.

Those words that should be said and the hints that should be given have been given by him for so many years.He believed that Xiongjun understood.

He has been waiting for a word from the other party.

Since Xiong Jun didn't think about it well, he gave time for the other party to think carefully.They all need to think about it until one of them figured it out.

In addition to tempering himself, there is also a crucial event along the way.

One winter night, Hui Ran heard a weak choking sound, and he picked up an abandoned baby in the bushes.It was a dumb girl who was born with a disability. She couldn't even cry for help. She lay quietly in the cold night and let her life die.

Hui Ran thought for a while, and took the baby girl away.

Mute girls are ordinary people, and their lifespan is only a few decades.Hui Ran originally planned to let this daughter take the panacea to prolong her life, but her daughter refused.

The daughter can't speak for the rest of her life, but God loves her. She has found a husband who truly loves each other, and the couple lives happily ever after.

Later, she gave birth to a healthy and healthy girl.Then, the granddaughter grew up, and she also had her own husband and her own child.

When Hui Ran saw Xiong Jun again, he was hugging his infant great-grandson. The little guy was born not long ago, but he was full of vitality.Hui Ran's expression was exceptionally gentle, the irritability of the Jiao clan's blood was less, and the inner peace was much more peaceful.

Life in the world is too short, Hui Ran is different from them, and can only watch them grow old and live their lives to the end.

These years, Hui Ran kept silent about his whereabouts, while Xiong Jun tried his best to find him.Xiong Jun didn't expect that Hui Ran was holding a baby in his arms when they met again, and he was a little dazed for a while.

Hui Ran turned sideways and smiled at Xiong Jun: "Isn't the little guy cute?"

Xiong Jun didn't know how to answer.

Not long after, a young woman walked up to Hui Ran's side, her appearance was somewhat similar to that of a baby, the two were chatting and laughing, very relaxed.Xiong Jun feels that they are not Hui Ran's wife and children, but he can't help worrying about this situation.

Xiong Jun has never seen Hui Ran pay such attention to a mortal woman before, nor has he seen Hui Ran care so much about a mortal baby.

Afterwards, even though the woman called Hui Ran her grandfather instead of her husband, Xiongjun was still shocked.

The woman asked, "Grandfather, who is this?"

Hui Ran looked at Xiong Jun, and said to his granddaughter, "He is my important friend."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiong Jun's brows tightened instantly.Such a situation had never occurred to him before he saw Hui Ran.

He said the same thing to Hui Ran countless times, but if he heard it once, he couldn't stand it.

Xiong Jun clenched his fists subconsciously: "Hui Ran, I..."

Hui Ran looked at him: "What?"

Xiong Jun was silent for a long time, finally shook his head and did not speak.After searching for so many years, he mustered up the courage to come here.Unexpectedly, he was self-righteous, thinking that this person would be waiting for him.

He didn't know how to express, and now he can't say anything.

Hui Ran didn't wait for the next sentence, he looked at Xiong Jun, only to see that Xiong Jun's whole body was tense, suppressing his emotions, obviously he was forced too much.Xiongjun's condition is quite bad, and he may turn around and leave without saying a word at any time, never to appear again.

He had to say something to appease the big bear.

If he deliberately didn't want to see the other party, how could he let the other party find this place.

Hui Ran sighed: "For these years, I have been... Xiong Jun, where are you going?"

He didn't finish listening to the words, but turned around and left, what kind of bear temper is this?

But this person was found by himself, so he can only...be patient...

"Xiong Jun, I've been waiting for you for so many years, why don't you have anything to say to me?"

"..."

"Really not?"

"...I have been looking for you, and I am afraid that I will never see you again."

"so?"

"Fortunately, I found you."
