Part 2
If one day his brother was in danger and his fate unknown, he would make the same choice.
He understood the other’s feelings, but he was still sad about a benefactor about to die.
Lying there for so long, he had long regarded the little brother and him as family.
Just as Elias was in a trance, the little milk rabbit in his arms suddenly perked up its ears, scratching anxiously with its paws, pointing upwards uneasily.
Elias immediately pressed his ear alertly against the earthen door. The noise outside was familiar, exactly like when those people from North City came.
Someone was coming, and the commotion wasn’t small.
Elias hugged the little milk rabbit, gritting his teeth, deciding to lure them away himself. This time, he absolutely couldn’t let them discover his brother’s presence.
Just then, the newly bought wristband beeped, exceptionally clear in the dead silent earthen cave.
Elias wasn’t used to the wristband, wearing it for the first time today. It only had one contact: the Little Boss.
He looked at the little milk rabbit in his arms, gritting his teeth, deciding to entrust the orphan.
Opening it, he was stunned.
[Little Boss: Knock knock knock, bunny open the door!]
Probably because Elias hadn’t replied for a long time, while he was checking the previous message, Young Master Bai sent another one.
[Little Boss: Your nest is too narrow, people can’t get down. My uncle is here too, hehe, and there’s a big surprise.]
Elias’s eyes widened, sighing in relief at the turn of events, then hugged the little rabbit in a daze. “Outside are the Boss and Little Boss? But… but I never said where I lived.”
When a large and a small red-eyed rabbit popped their heads out of an earthen pit, they first looked around alertly, only hopping out when they really saw a spaceship.
Young Master Bai opened the spaceship door, poking his head out. “Quick, hop up yourself. Good heavens, this is your brother? Much cuter than you.”
The red-eyed rabbit gave him a speechless look: We look exactly the same, okay? Besides, do rabbits have differences?
But when the red-eyed rabbit hopped onto the spaceship holding the little one, as the door closed behind him, he indeed saw the Boss.
He hopped a step towards the Boss: “Ji ji.” Boss.
But the next moment, looking to the side, he froze: “Ji?” Did I see wrong? Why do I see the benefactor who already left sitting next to the Boss?
The cub peeked curiously, eyes shining at the two red-eyed rabbits.
He had seen rabbits; previously, his cousin was a bunny.
But his cousin was an elder, so he couldn’t look closely. Now, seeing the red-eyed rabbit holding a very small one, he squatted down, staring curiously.
The little milk rabbit was timid, also peeked curiously, then quickly shrank back into his brother’s arms.
Ning Yunyi patted the seat next to him. “Come up and sit first, I’ll explain later. I didn’t expect such a coincidence either; it was actually you who saved my big brother.”
Elias would rather be auctioned by the Underground City than reveal Big Brother, so his character was naturally trustworthy.
Elias dazedly dared not hop up. That was the Boss, and the benefactor.
He didn’t dare.
Until Big Brother Ning also spoke up: “Go sit.”
Although he didn’t know why his little brother spent thirty million Star Coins to buy Elias, his little brother must have his reasons.
When Elias sat next to the Boss holding the little milk rabbit, both big and small were in a daze. Finally, a beat slow, he realized what the Boss had just said: Big Brother? What Big Brother?
The benefactor left a letter saying he was going to find his little brother. Now suddenly back, meaning he found him?
The Boss is the benefactor’s biological younger brother?
The red-eyed rabbit was shocked. Is… is it such a coincidence?
The group returned to Ning Yunyi’s castle first. When Elias brought the little milk rabbit down after changing back into human form and changing clothes, both big and small were dazed.
Elias held the little boy’s hand, and the cub leaned against Ning Yunyi, watching curiously.
It was the first time in so long he had seen a child about his age.
Although two or three years older than him, the little boy was thin and small, not much taller than him.
Although the cub was thin and weak after suffering for half a year on the Garbage Star, he had been raised well before, so he was still tall.
The little boy was different; he had been malnourished and thin since childhood, and his personality was timid and cowardly.
The cub pinched his small hand, looking up at his father.
Ning Yunyi touched his small head. “Go play with the little brother.”
The cub looked at him pitifully because he was so thin that even wearing the cub’s clothes, they were loose, making his head look big. He asked, “Father, can I share my snacks with him?”
Ning Yunyi had no objection. The Elias brothers had protected the comatose Big Brother for months; he naturally had to remember this kindness. “Of course.”
He had thought of finding a companion for the little guy before. Initially, he thought of the good master-servant relationship between Ning Xingyao and Elias in the book, intending to let Elias accompany the cub.
Now it seemed only children could play with children.
Sure enough, when the cub went over and extended his hand, the timid little boy looked up at his brother, only carefully going over after getting a nod.
Before long, the two little guys were holding hands and playing aside.
With the rattan ball the cub just brought back from the Ning family, and his most treasured little robot.
Ning Yunyi was surprised. He knew how much the little guy liked this little robot. It seemed the cub liked Elias’s brother quite a bit.
Ning Yunyi and Big Brother Ning kept the two and didn’t say anything else, acknowledging his identity as the Second Young Master of the Ning family, Ning Yunyi.
Because something happened to the Ning family, this identity couldn’t be leaked for the time being.
So externally, they needed to remember his other identity, Bai Yan Yu.
Young Master Bai had no objection. After all, his life was saved by his uncle, not to mention such a major matter concerning life.
Elias had even fewer problems. The boss brothers had saved him before and after; he couldn’t possibly betray the boss.
Ning Yunyi didn’t want to put too much pressure on Elias before, so he mentioned letting him repay the debt monthly.
Since it was out in the open, plus Elias had hidden Big Brother Ning for months, he cancelled the previous debt altogether.
Elias refused vehemently, finally afraid the boss would really not let him repay, he picked up his brother and ran, saying he was going back to the Little Boss’s place first.
Young Master Bai was rubbing his hands expecting his uncle to award him a portion of braised pork rice when he saw the big and small rushing out.
No, no, at least wait for him to finish eating before leaving.
Young Master Bai looked back three times with every step. “Uncle, what you said earlier…”
Ning Yunyi took out two food boxes he had prepared long ago from the side. “Alright, take it and eat. One box is yours, the other is for the Elias brothers.”
Young Master Bai gave a loud “Eh,” afraid Ning Yunyi would renege, holding the two food boxes and rushing out.
Big Brother Ning saw this bustling scene for the first time, his expression momentarily complex. “This nephew you acknowledged, his personality is quite… lively.”
Ning Yunyi covered his lips and coughed lightly, suspecting Big Brother wanted to say definitely not these two words.
Because it was too late, Ning Yunyi simply waved for the little meow cub to come over.
The little cub was still confused. The little playmate he was playing well with suddenly disappeared.
Until Ning Yunyi took out several other food boxes, the little guy immediately stood obediently against Ning Yunyi’s leg, touching his small belly and looking expectantly.
Big Brother Ning was calm at first, but as each food box opened, he was a bit dazed by the aroma impact.
One scent was very familiar, exactly the braised pork scent he smelled when he first woke up.
At that time, the little boy wanted to hand the braised pork to him, but how could he ask for food from a child? He refused.
Later he didn’t accept it either, plus after waking up, either unconscious or thinking of ways to inquire about news, so he didn’t care.
