Daughter-in-law is assigned by the state

"Do you...do it hurt?" The person in front of him didn't answer his question, but such a sentence came out of nowhere.

"?"

"Fortunately, I'm used to it." Number 1's expression was very indifferent.

"You haven't answered my question yet...cough cough." Number 1 opened his mouth, trying to make a sound, but in the end he could only cough twice silently.

The little child had a serious face, and there was no emotion in his eyes.

Elsie moved her mouth, but no sound came out.

He stepped forward with difficulty, and the void carefully hugged the person in front of him in his arms.

A trace of vigilance flashed in the child's eyes, but he did not act rashly——

If it was really someone sent to kill him, he would definitely not be powerless to fight back.

"Can't you say it? It's okay, thank you for being willing to accompany me." No. 1 pretended to be nonchalant and continued to speak along with what he said just now, but his hand was already clenched tightly on a small sharp piece of iron that he quietly put on his body .

"I'm sorry..." This strange person finally spoke, but it still made No. 1 feel puzzled. Why did he apologize to him suddenly? It's inexplicable...

"I'm late..." Elsie stretched out her hand dejectedly and tried to touch the head of the kid in front of him covered in thorns, but the person in front of him became stiff after realizing his movements.

"My name is Elsie, and I am... your future partner."

"No one assigned me..." Elsie said dryly and with difficulty, the fingers of both hands clenched tightly.

"Would someone like me have a partner?" No. 1 didn't laugh at himself, but was genuinely confused.

A little lunatic like him will be a lunatic when he grows up. Who would fall in love with him blindly?

"Are you forced by me?" No. 1 obviously didn't take it seriously, and only half-jokingly asked.

The other party didn't have any malice, and seemed to have some inexplicable self-blame... After so many years of fighting, he still felt this way.

Number 1 is still vigilant, but his words are much more relaxed. He is too lonely to be alone, and he feels very happy to have someone to chat with. No matter who the other person is, he has nothing to lose.

But Elsie shook her head seriously.

"You didn't force me, we... are in love with each other."

"Is that so? That's great..." No. 1 said this, but there was not a bit of trust in the words.

……

Half a year later, Number 1 and Elsie finally got to know each other——

This "familiarity" is the gradual establishment of trust for No. 1. At first, he only regarded this person as a chat tool person who can accompany him, but later he became more and more attached to his company.

Elsie is a very gentle and gentle person. Although he can’t touch No. 1, everything he shows makes No. 1 feel his care—anxiety when he is injured, and worry when he leaves .

At night, he would hold No. 1 gently in his arms and tell stories. Even though No. 1 didn't feel anything physically, his heart felt as if he was snuggling up to this person.

It's a weird feeling, but it's not bad.

……

"Brother...can I call you brother?" This day No. 1 returned to his iron cage with injuries, and looked at the person beside him who was anxiously trying to blow his wounds, and suddenly said something like this type.

Elsie was a little surprised, but also a little relieved. He could feel that the child had always been wary of him before, and it was only recently that he slowly let go of his guard.

"Yes, of course..." Elsie said softly, for such a young and pitiful little hero, he couldn't refuse even a single request from him.

"It's great, I also have a brother." No. 1 murmured, hooking the corners of his mouth with joy, because he had never smiled before, and his expression looked a little weird.

After hearing this, Elsie held him in her arms with great distress.

"I will always be with you."

"Well, thank you, brother." The word "brother" was repeated several times in Xiao No. 1's mouth, expressing his heartfelt joy.

In fact, No. 1 already faintly felt that what this person said before seemed to be true.

Ah, the future he did a really good job, he thought, trying to ignore the faint jealousy in his heart.

"Brother, I still want to hear the story about the little bear told last night." He stubbornly called this man brother, as if it was another kind of intimacy.

No. 1 insisted on separating the person in his brother's heart from him. As time went by, he gradually couldn't bear the fact that his brother still had someone else in his heart, even if that other person was his future self.

……

On this day, when No. 1 was about to be taken away, Elsie tried to hold his hand as usual, but No. 1 didn't take it seriously. After all, my brother wanted to catch him every day, but he never caught him ...

This time, as usual, he gave his brother a reassuring look and was about to turn around.

however--

His wrist was actually firmly grasped? ! !

Number 1 suddenly turned around in shock, looking at his wrist, and Elsie was also so surprised that she unconsciously held Number 1's hand tightly.

Before they had any other reactions, the impatient guard at the side gave No. 1 a rough push.

No. 1 pretended to be caught by something, inadvertently withdrew his hand, and suppressed the look of surprise in his eyes.

Elsie felt the remaining warmth on his wrist, and there was an expression of surprise and dismay on his face—does this mean that he can protect his little hero? ! !

But to his disappointment, when he tried to block No. 1 alive this time, those sharp blades still passed through his body like passing through the air, and the only thing he could touch was No. 1 himself.

Number 1 thought it was good, he didn't want to see his brother get hurt.

Today's battle is extremely dangerous. Several times, No. 1 was almost pierced through the heart or cut his neck by the besiegers. He knows that such dangerous battles will only be commonplace in the future, and everyone left here is a mountain of blood. If the winner standing in the sea can be easily won by him, how can he cultivate the so-called Gu King?

Since the beginning of the battle, Elsie's heart seemed to be hanging in the air, and when those blades came over, he wished they were on his body.

Suddenly, a very fast short knife flew out from an extremely tricky angle with a wind blade, and was about to cut the throat of No. 1, but No. 1 was unable to dodge because of the restraint of the people behind him. Elsie grabbed No. 1 subconsciously. With his wrist, he pulled him to the safe side, which allowed him to avoid this dangerous attack!

This made Elsie gradually turn into a happy mood because she couldn't stop the loss of the blade——

As long as he cooperates well, No. 1 will no longer be fighting alone!

Soon, No. 1 covered in blood curled back into his cage again. Even though he suffered more injuries today than before, there was always a hint of secret joy in his heart. For the first time, besides fighting, he To hold someone's hand——

His brother's hand is warmer than he imagined, making him unconsciously want to possess him forever...

"Brother, can you hug me?" The little child put his arms around his knees, showing a pitiful expression on his blood-stained face.

In fact, Elsie would hold him in her arms every day, trying to make him feel better, even if he couldn't touch him at all.

But today was different from usual, he could finally touch him.

Elsie went straight through the iron cage without hesitation, holding him firmly in her arms as usual, the difference was that he was more careful this time - his careless touch might aggravate the wound.

"It's so warm...thank you brother." Number 1 greedily sniffed the warm and clear breath of the person holding him, and he couldn't help being a little jealous of the person who owns this person, even if that person is his future self.

"It's the first time someone hugged me. It turns out that being hugged feels like this. I'm so happy."

These words made Elsie feel even more distressed, because he was blamed for being useless and unable to protect the hero...

"Brother, don't worry, this is already fine," No. 1 sensitively sensed Elsie's emotions, stretched out a small hand with scars, and gently stroked his frowning eyebrows.

No. 1 is not willing to let his brother show such a self-blame and worried expression, he has never wanted to grow up faster and protect his brother more than now.

……

"Brother...can you tell me about your relationship with him?" Number 1 pretended to be casual and asked.

Number 1 likes the feeling of snuggling in his brother's arms like this, which makes him feel that he is also loved.

Elsie was slightly startled, and he stroked the head of the little hero in his arms.

For some reason, he always felt that the smaller hero seemed to be slightly hostile to his future self, and he didn't want to admit that it was him...or maybe he was thinking too much.

"...The hero and I were matched and registered at the matching center..." Elsie spoke slowly, the expression on her face becoming softer.

"Xiongzhu is his...my future name?" Hearing the strange pronunciation, No. 1 asked with interest.

"No, you will be called Wenyu from now on, Wenyu who heard it, and Yu who met you. Xiongzhu is what we call our partners. If it is changed to here, it should mean...husband..."

For some reason, Elsie always felt a little ashamed when she said this. Calling her husband seems to be more shameful than calling him the hero. The hero is still so young, it seems that it is not the time to know this.

"Wenyu... a nice name, so I don't want to be called No. 1 anymore, I'll just call him Wenyu—meeting my brother is the luckiest thing in my life."

"Don't talk nonsense, you are still so young, you have a long, long life, and you will have many, many lucky things in the future."

"But there will never be anything luckier than this." Number 1 shook his head stubbornly.

"..." Elsie just smiled helplessly and stroked his back lightly.

"My brother went on to say, and then?"

"Then, the hero has done a lot of things that no one in our place has ever done. He will buy me a lot of fun and delicious food, prepare surprises, and take me on dates..."

"This is what he should do. My brother deserves all the best and best things in the world." No. 1 curled his lips, thinking that these are what he should do. If he came, he would only do better.

"I don't think so. I'm stuffy, I can't speak nice words, and I can't weave dolls..."

"Of course my brother deserves it." Number 1 sat up from his arms angrily, he didn't allow his brother to look down on him like this.

"I don't need my brother to know how to weave dolls. I will learn to weave dolls for my brother in the future."
