Chapter 3: 3. First Puppy
"Browtherr..."
"Hug me....."
As Xie Yue was thinking about the restraints that this orphanage had put on him, a call reached his ears.
He got angry in that instant. He hated it whenever someone disturbed his thought process.
He knew who had called him; that was the bug that took his body as a plaything and bit him all over when he was just born. Knowing who it was, he calmed his anger.
"Nana, come here."
He smiled lightly at her and called her over to him.
Even without him calling her, she would come to get her hugs and kisses from him.
After all, that's how Xie Yue raised her.
She came running over to him and jumped at him with her open hands.
"Browther~"
He caught her and gave her the hug she needed and kissed her cheeks with a doting look. After getting these two things she needed, she started jumping on the bed.
"Brother.... Let's play," she asked like a puppy.
"I can't play with you now. I have to take a bath. Come and help me with my bathing," he said as he kept patting her head, still having that same doting look she was familiar with.
"But Browther... I want to pla...."
"Nana, be obedient." Just as she was going to pester him to play with her, Xie Yue said to her in a plain tone, looking straight into her eyes.
There was nothing in that tone. No feelings, no emotions... not even anger, NOTHING.
Her actions were making him angry. But he couldn't get angry with her. She was important to him.
Hearing Him, Hu Liena's little body became stiff in that instant.
To her, he was the best. He always protected her whenever some kids from the orphanage tried to bully her. He had always been there whenever she had bad dreams. He was the only person who was closest to her in this world. He always hugged her to sleep and even gave her his food whenever the orphanage didn't give enough for them. But he suffered in pain without eating. She even saw him curled up in bed, crying in silence. There were many reasons like these...
So she knew her brother loved her the most. After all, she had spent almost her entire life since birth with him. Because of all these reasons, she was grateful to him.
And more importantly to her, her brother was the most important person in the world. She loved him the most and knew him very well.
She was very familiar with this tone. Her brother would not talk to her using this tone unless he didn't want her to do or say the thing again.
"Oh....." She put on a sad puppy look and obediently got up from the bed and started to do her duty. That is, helping her brother bathe.
Xie Yue went toward the direction of the bath area. She followed him obediently.
Xie Yue was very tolerant with her.
From birth to this day, he had never scolded her. He had never even raised his voice against her.
He was always kind to her because she was really important to him. Very, very important. He could even stop eating for two days just to fill his sister's stomach.
As you can see... to him, who was now in a child's body, going without eating for two continuous days would bring enormous pain. So he was sacrificing for her. And little Hu Liena could also understand how much pain he was in since she had also experienced that pain... although only for a few hours at most.
Here comes... She was very important to him. Not because she was the only relative he had in this world, but because she was very, very useful to him.
'Silly girl.'
He sneered in his heart. To him, turning her into his obedient little fox was very easy since she was still a kid who knew nothing about this cruel world.
To her, who was currently a child, protecting her from bullies (hero saving beauty), giving food, hugging, kissing, etc., were very important. And to him, she was a very easy-to-fool puppy. (Most of the reason behind the bullying was also him. He manipulated those kids from the shadows.)
As he thought about his foolish sister, they had already reached their bathing area.
He removed his tattered T-shirt and started bathing.
Hu Liena's duty was to help her brother put soap all over his body (excluding his private parts).
He watched her as she did her work, her hands roaming all over his little immature body...
He had taught her to do this since last year.
'Is putting soap a hard job?'
'Nah, but she has to learn that she also has her duties.'
'I wouldn't have spent more time on this little girl if it weren't for her future usefulness.'
'But that doesn't mean I will treat her like a little princess and keep her soft. That ain't going to happen even in dreams.'
She had to serve him for his sacrifices... Yes, she must. There was no other way. He put in his hard work training her mindset not for her to be a little princess, but to serve him like he was her master.
'Hehehe. My first little puppy.'
'And she is not an ordinary puppy but a golden puppy. Most of my future plans depend on her. She is a very important pawn.'
'And there is also that thing... Martial Fusion skill... a bug-like ability.' Xie Yue thought in his heart.
"Little Nana, you are very good."
After cleaning all the soap foam and taking a bath, he patted Nana's head again.
"Brother....." She smiled sweetly at him after getting his praise. She was very proud of herself.
'I can also help my big brother....' she thought in her mind as her smile widened.
With that, they returned to their room.
After returning to the room and closing the door, Xie Yue called his little sister to come over and sit with him on the bed.
After that, he continued his puppy development by talking with her for a while.
"Big Brother, I understand how to behave in front of others. Don't worry; I will keep your teachings in my mind," she said, nodding her head like a chicken pecking.
Because he behaved more maturely than other people and had always been calm in every situation, solving many of her little crises, she believed whatever her brother said.
What she didn't know was that he was mature only in front of her. And it was to portray a grand figure in her mind as a brother. She would never find this out unless he showed his true face (kekeke).
In front of others, he always behaved like a good cute doll.
"Nana, let's play," he said, looking at her with a doting look.
"I know my brother is the best." Hearing him say that, she smiled widely and started cheering.
That night, after she finished playing all day with Xie Yue, she slept tiredly.
Suddenly, Nana woke up from her sleep.
She got on top of him, hugged him like a cocoon, and then started tearing up.
Seeing her tears, Xie Yue immediately understood what had happened.
"I am here, Nana; don't be afraid. Big Brother is with you."
As he consoled her, he saw a sudden conviction in her eyes. Since it was a regular reaction from her, he didn't mind it.
What he didn't know was that there was another story going on in her little mind.
'Hmph, big bad wolves, I will always protect my brother.'
She looked at his face.
'Brother..., only you will be the most important person to me. Always. ALWAYS...'
There was a crazy light in her eyes.
After thinking all of this, she slept soundly on top of him, hugging him tightly.
Unknowingly, That day, Xie Yue completely got his first obedient puppy.
