The Truth

The vague sounds of the valley's cute little animals at dawn. The cold mist still hovering above the ground, which is wet with dew on the green grass around the valley. 

BaiYing neat up the blanket at his feet which was revealed allowing the breeze to snuck into the blanket and touch his bare skin. The sky was still dark, BaiYing was about to close his eyes again to enjoy his very comfortable sleep when he heard the sound of the door squeaking.

"Squick"

BaiYing lifted his head, with blurry eyes looking at YiFang's bed that had been abandoned by him. Maybe he headed to the city again, as usual.

Wait, as usual, BaiYing is awake now and he can follow him. He is curious to find out what makes his brother so busy going back and forth almost every day.

...…..

Minutes later.

"Ah"

BaiYing had followed YiFang quietly from behind. He occasionally hid his body when YiFang was about to look back, maybe the man felt someone was following him. But this odd, even though BaiYing had walked a little far away from the hut he's felt fine. His chest is not as tight as before, his legs are strong enough to walk. He feels so healthy at that time.

BaiYing came out of hiding when he saw YiFang continue his path.

It's been a while and the road in front of him began to clear because the sun is rising. BaiYing hid his body quickly behind the tree when he saw some black shadows passing over his head, he almost got caught. Those people, people dressed in completely black approached YiFang from behind. Oh no, this is bad, did they come to attack him? This should not happen, BaiYing had to warn him. He was ready to get out of his hiding, but ...

BaiYing stopped when he got close to his brother. He could see the two men in black who were pulling their covers standing in front of YiFang as if they talking to him. BaiYing frowned. Those people, even yesterday were quite dark, but he was sure, their posture and clothes were the same as the two who attacked them. But, why didn't they attack Brother YiFang now?

BaiYing hiding behind a tree, his chest was beating fast, was this like what he thought? If his brother YiFang wasn't as simple as he showed him, BaiYing held his fist.

"It's been a few days now, the elder orders us to immediately take the boy back to the Black Water valley, they will remove the stone from his body," exclaimed one of the taller men.

YiFang waved his hand.

"Xiao Ying could die if they force the stone out, give me some time, I'll try to find out where the stone is. It can't be on Ying'er's body because he doesn't have any special abilities at all, they must have kept it somewhere "

"Whatever it is, you already hold him for too long, the elder is very sure that the stone is already in his heart. He only needs to give him to ErWang and that creature will swallow it right away. Brother Yi, don't let the elder know what your intentions are, we have already helped you here because you said you can do it yourself. But it's been too long. Even after digging up the information from the old fart HuaLie and his family, they all didn't say where the stone was, it's mean that the stone might already be in the boy's body. "

BaiYing covered his mouth, preventing him from shouting, out of surprise. His big eyes were wide open, what he thought about YiFang right?

"I'll take care of Xiao Ying by myself, don't dare to touch him. He is mine!" exclaimed YiFang.

The guy grinned.

"Who do you think you are? That kid is a Concubine of the Crown Prince who is worth millions of times more than you, do you think you can win his heart? Just wake up from your dream!"

YiFang grabbed the man's collar.

"Watch your mouth! I am sincere to Xiao Ying, he will melt with my attention. He thought I was the one who saved him."

His friend grinned again, he pulled YiFang's hand away from him.

"Heh, have you forgotten that you are also involved with the massacre of all the members of the Hua family with your own hands? Without them suspecting you can easily slay them all, and now you think that his lovely and innocent child can be eaten by your ruffian seduction?"

BaiYing covered his mouth, what did he hear? This must be a mistake, his brother could not possibly do all of these things. His knees felt weak, and his heart ached, imagining how YiFang, whom he knew so much, could kill all of his family. The family he had known all his life.

"Akh"

BaiYing's body was limp. Just when he lowered his body his hand hit the sharp stone which made him moan in pain. This is bad, he could get caught!

YiFang and his two friends glanced at the tree when they realized someone was there. YiFang immediately stepped forward to block his path but another man already caught BaiYing in his hands.

"Xiao Ying!" YiFang's eyes widened wide, BaiYing might have heard everything they talked about, he saw him with big eyes full of hatred.

"This brat"

BaiYing struggled to release himself, even though he knew it was useless.

YiFang was about to get close.

"Little Ying"

BaiYing glared at him with watery eyes.

"Don't touch me! Why did you do it? Why did you kill all my family? They all treat you like family, why did you do it?"

YiFang swallowed hard, BaiYing's gaze upon him, a gaze he completely avoided.

"Listen to me"

BaiYing struggled, the man grabbed his shoulders from behind so he couldn't move, while YiFang advanced toward him.

"Don't touch me! Better if you also kill me! Why? Why did you do that?"

BaiYing's eyes widened and red from his tears. Looking at YiFang with eyes full of anger and disappointment. 

"Why? Because they all underestimated me! They looked down on me, they treated me as nothing but rubbish! They said I didn't deserve you! Not even worthy of just being your brother!"

BaiYing's heart ached, it was more painful than being stabbed by a knife. After the death of his entire family, and now, the betrayal of the person he trusted the most. It was like a nightmare.

BaiYing struggled to wriggle when YiFang got close to him, as much as possible he refused all the touch of that disgusting man.

"Let me go or just kill me!"

BaiYing's eyes glared at YiFang, his grudge, he was hurt, and his heart wanted to explode from all the pain inside. He clenched his fist tight held his aches and tried to push YiFang's body which was getting closer to him. But the kid could only surrender and fell limp as YiFang poked his nerves.

His body fell helplessly into YiFang's hands.

YiFang lifted BaiYing's limp body in his embrace.

"Heh, Little Ying, why do you have to be so naughty and sneaking around? Now, what am I going to do to you?" YiFang whispered.

BaiYing's head falls limply with tears streaming down his cheeks.
