Subordinate Doting - Chap 40
“Because your scent lingers around me, forcing me to keep my eyes on you, then I can only obey it.”
Ji Tingyu turned his head away helplessly. Behind him were the gray and white snow-covered mountains. Under the setting sun, the cat’s amber eyes were as beautiful as a cloud bank.
”You’re not ashamed to say these disgusting things, are you?”
”You’ll have more time later to see if I’ll be ashamed.”
”You said it so naturally. Did I say I want to keep you?”
”You still want to drive me away? Don’t even think about it.”
He Zhuo pinched the tip of his nose and twisted it, then said very softly, as if talking in a dream, “I no longer have the willpower to leave you a second time.”
”Okay then.”
Ji Tingyu reached into his pocket and said calmly, “Do you want to explain this first?”
When he raised his hand again, there was a thin hard card between his slender white fingertips. He Zhuo knew it was his ID card without even looking at it.
”Xiao Qing just gave it to me. If I remember correctly, you are the son of that old bastard He Shifeng.”
Ji Tingyu tilted his head, his eyes piercing his eyes like a blade: “Should I call you Damon or He Zhuo?”
He Zhuo turned his head, and his icy blue gaze moved half a circle within Ji Tingyu’s sight and fell on his eyebrows.
”Xiao Yu, you used to call me brother.”
The author has something to say:
Cat: OK giegie~
Chapter 15 Haven’t you remembered me yet?
In fact, whether it was their first meeting in the snowy mountains in their previous life or their first encounter in the tavern in this life, it was not their first meeting.
Ji Tingyu had seen He Zhuo when he was still a baby. In fact, he appeared much earlier than Sha Moqing.
At that time, Ji Tingyu was three years old and He Zhuo was ten years old. By chance, they were neighbors for two years.
When he was a child, Ji Tingyu was as cute as a piece of jade. He had just learned how to transform into a human form. He had two floppy kitten ears, a fluffy tail, a round head, a round belly, and he ran around in the yard in open-crotch pants.
All the children liked him, and when playing house, they all rushed to ask little Ji Tingyu to be their bride. But Ji Tingyu was very aloof at that time and never let anyone hold his hand or touch his tail, except for one person, He Zhuo.
Because Brother He is not only gentle and generous, he can also turn into a big wolf, allowing Kitty Ji to climb on him like a slide.
Ji Tingyu likes to eat candies, so He Zhuo always has a can of chocolate beans in it. The little kitten would do anything to get candies. He would stand on tiptoe and hold the big wolf head, kissing him “muamuamua” and calling him after every kiss.
He Zhuo is the second grandson in the family. Others call him the second brother. Ji Xiaomao also learned to call him that, but his pronunciation was unclear, so he called the second brother “love”.
He Zhuo teased him: “Xiao Yu, do you like me? What did you call me?”
The little cat, who only had him as her brother, pushed everyone else aside in a haughty manner, smiled broadly at him, opened her chubby little hands to hug him, and shouted out her loyalty: “Love!”
Those were one of the few healing moments in He Zhuo’s childhood.
It’s just that they were separated for too long, and when they met again, He Zhuo had already forgotten his younger brother, and Ji Tingyu was just a three-year-old kitten, and even that memory was unclear.
He only vaguely remembered that he once had a very big wolf who would give him candies, let him play on the slide, and even hold his tiny thing on its head, allowing him to take advantage of the tiger’s power and become a mighty king among children.
When he was a child, he looked up with an innocent little cat face and thought: Why are all the kids scared away by me? Is it because I look too fierce?
The big wolf surrounding him nodded helplessly: Yes, you are terribly fierce.

In his previous life, He Zhuo was the first to recall this past event, but before he could say anything, Ji Tingyu had already passed away.
The memories that had been sealed for two lifetimes were finally uncovered again. After saying this, He Zhuo turned his head and looked at him quietly. His ice-blue eyes were like a sea that was about to disappear in the water, making people nostalgic and sad.
Because they clearly had many opportunities in their previous lives, but they all turned into regrets.
”Don’t you remember me yet? You once said I was the best brother when we were little.”
Ji Tingyu’s heart suddenly trembled, and his eyes felt sore as if they were soaked in vinegar.
I feel like crying for no reason.
He finally remembered why the feeling of the giant wolf wrapping its tail around him in the windbreak had been so familiar.
Because when he was a child, Brother He always protected him, wrapped his tail around him when he was about to fall, and laughed at him: “You are so stupid, what will you do when you grow up?”
Is it because of this past event?
Why do I always feel a sense of familiarity when I am with him that is not felt by others?
Ji Tingyu felt that he had walked into the depths of He Zhuo’s fog, but at the same time, he felt that he was still on the edge.
”Don’t you have anything else to say?” he asked, tilting his head.
“You’ve grown up.”
”Yes, not only have I grown up, I can also beat you up.”
He was a little angry at He Zhuo for not telling him earlier, but then he thought that if he had told him earlier, he would probably put him in the role of brother again, which would be too weird…
”If you blame me for not bringing it up earlier, it’s because that would make you think of me as your brother, and I definitely don’t want to be just your brother.” He Zhuo’s voice was flat, but every word he said touched his heart.
Ji Tingyu felt that he was seen through again.
”Have you noticed that there is something wrong with me a long time ago?” He Zhuo asked.
”Um……”
”Your true form is a mixed-blood Siberian snow wolf. You never eat hard bread, which is a favorite of Westerners. This means you grew up in China. Plus, you have some Yishi people’s eating habits. I happen to be from Yishi, too. When I was searching for information about the rich kids in Yishi, I happened to see the video of you causing a scene at the press conference.”
”Since you already knew I had a problem, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
”Because I’m not sure how long you will stay with me.” Ji Tingyu turned his head, his clear eyes seemed like a river that could see through everything.
”Damon,” he still called him that way, “I know that night on the snowy mountain meant a lot to you. I can honestly tell you that it meant a lot to me, too. I don’t want to ruin it.”
