Shangguan Xiao listened to Shangguan Yu's words.
Even if it was mostly just summaries, he still felt that his cousin's experience was unexpectedly interesting. It was just that there were too many things to keep track and could easily make one feel overwhelmed.
No wonder that no one else ever dared to do something like Shangguan Yu.
"You're truly one crazy b*stard," Shangguan Xiao finally said.
"I have no one in this world and no one will care about what I do," Shangguan Yu replied in a calm manner.
"Heh." Shangguan Xiao rolled his eyes. But it was also true that their Shangguan Family was scattered in the war and suffered greatly from various battles and losses.
In this regards, he himself sometimes wondered to himself whether it was worth it or not. But when he saw the happiness of the people he protected, he felt that it was still worth it in one way or another.
He didn't need them to remember him nor to be grateful for him.
What he wanted was to make his name in the history, in this land, in a way that would leave behind meanings to the future descendants.
Perhaps, he would be forgotten soon.
But he didn't mind. At least, he felt that his life has meanings.
"Why did you work so hard behind the scenes and expose it now?" Shangguan Xiao suddenly asked.
Why?
Shangguan Yu looked at Shangguan Xiao deeply. In his mind, the day when Shangguan Family was formally separated and Shangguan Xiao left for the frontline was recalled. At that time, he thought that he was truly alone and no one stood by his side nor understand him anymore.
But it was Shangguan Xiao who gave him kindness.
"You're the one who told me not to forget that I still have my two cousins," Shangguan Yu replied in a low voice.
Shangguan Xiao was taken aback when he heard that.
He faintly recalled that he seemed to say something like that when he handed the token for Traveling Doctor Liu many years ago. At that time, he just felt that he didn't need the token, so it could be given to Shangguan Yu, who needed it more.
He looked at Shangguan Yu with a complicated expression. "I didn't help you while expecting you to repay me."
"I know." Shangguan Yu shrugged. "But I want to."
I want to.
A sentence full of willfulness that Shangguan Xiao didn't know what to say anything else. He looked at Shangguan Yu in front of him.
The two of them played together when they were young because their age was not that much different, only two years. Besides, the two of them were doing quite well together as they have similar way of thinking when they were young.
They were smarter than other kids, so they didn't really have much in common with the other children from Shangguan Family.
But their abilities were not so overwhelming that they could compare to adults.
In the end, Shangguan Xiao sighed and said, "Thank you." freewebnoveℓ.com
