Leng Ling's expression was indifferent, and his handsome face shone with golden light. He stretched out his hand, picked up the ring with his slender fingers, and looked at it carefully.
"This ring is more than just a ring."
"Oh?" Lien narrowed his eyes with interest and said half-jokingly, "It can't be some legendary key to unlock the treasure, right?"
Leng Ling pursed her thin lips lightly, and the clear and exquisite appearance of the gem was reflected in her dark eyes, "It contains an ancient poison. Anyone who swallows the poison will fake death for seven days."
Li En held his chin, with an incomprehensible expression on his angular face, "It's really interesting, Ling, I'm really getting more and more curious about your Leng family."
The thin mist quietly dispersed in the clear eyes. Leng Ling blinked his eyelashes and took the initiative to hold Li En's left hand for the first time and slid the ring onto the other's ring finger.
The unique coldness of the metal clasped the tip of his finger. Lien stretched out his right hand and touched the shining ring, jokingly saying, "It's still the ring finger, Ling. It seems that this is really a token of love."
"The ring has been put on. You must swear to always be loyal to me and never betray me."
"I swear," Li En raised the back of his hand and kissed the ring, his golden eyes gradually blurred, "I will always be loyal to Leng Ling and never betray."
"I'm back!"
A child's voice broke the atmosphere in the hall, and a dirty little boy ran in. When he saw the person sitting on the sofa, he ran over and said, "Brother, you are finally back!"
Leng Ling stood up, opened his arms to catch the sweaty little guy, reached out and stroked his sweaty hair, "Well, I'm back."
Xiao Lie threw herself into Leng Ling's arms, rubbing her little head against Leng Ling's chin, very intimately.
The two brothers hugged each other for a while, and then Xiao Lie raised his head, with a pair of black eyes shining on his dirty little face, "Brother, I heard that you won the battle in Kessel. You are so brave and heroic. I want to do the same."
Like you, become a soldier and drive away the bad guys!"
Leng Ling smiled and said, "Okay."
Out of the corner of his eye, Xiaolie noticed Lien sitting on the sofa and immediately became wary.
He asked the other party unceremoniously, "Who are you?"
"Lean Hans."
"Are you that Lien?" Xiaolie's face wrinkled, and a trace of doubt flashed in his dark eyes, "Isn't it said that you are very fierce? You are also a man-eating barbarian, why don't you look like you at all?"
"Your Highness, as you can see, I am indeed Lien Hans," Lien was a little dumbfounded. Only now did he realize that the rumors actually compared him to this, "I am your brother's knight."
Xiaolie still didn't seem to believe it, "Brother, is this true?"
Leng Ling nodded, "Yes, he is Lien Hans, my knight."
Xiaolie realized that he had been deceived and said angrily, "That disgusting Kyle actually lied to me. I will definitely teach him a lesson one day!"
"Your Highness, the bath water has been put out for you."
Xiaolie raised his round chin, "I know," he tilted his head and smiled sweetly at Leng Ling, "Brother, I'm going to take a shower first. I'll see you later."
After saying that, he gave Leng Ling a sip on the side of his face and happily went to take a shower.
Li En glanced at the direction Xiao Lie was leaving, and said thoughtfully, "Let me tell you, your younger brothers and sisters, one is reserved and the other is enthusiastic, both like you so much, I quite envy you."
There was a touch of warmth in Leng Ling's cold eyes. She picked up the slightly cold black tea and took a sip. "Xiao Lie has a hot temper and has always aimed to become like his father."
Lean nodded appreciatively and said, "This is a real man."
The three Leng brothers and sisters and Lien had a sumptuous lunch, and then they were chatting in the house.
The two children were still a little unfamiliar with Lean at first, but after an afternoon of chatting with Lean, plus Lean being approachable and joking with them, the two brothers and sisters quickly got along with him.
Leng Ling leaned quietly on the edge of the long vine in the garden, watching the harmonious scene of Li En and the two little guys having fun in the garden, and a faint warmth enveloped her heart.
It's been a long time since I've had such a pleasant time to put aside all worries and spend time with my family without any worries. I really hope that such days can continue forever.
The four of them had a pleasant afternoon together drinking afternoon tea and eating snacks baked by Jerry himself.
After dinner, Leng Ling accompanied Xiaolin and Xiaolie to tell stories by the fire, while Lien folded his arms and leaned on the sofa, looking with interest at the man who lowered his head slightly and spoke softly.
The orange-red warm light pulsed slightly, leaving a beautiful warm yellow color on the other person's delicate face. The slow and gentle sound like a bird floated lightly, and the vague orchid fragrance made Lien unconsciously.
Get in deep.
Wandering in the sweet voice, he slowly closed his eyes, raised the corners of his heroic lips in a slight arc, and with a satisfied smile, he fell asleep like this.
The two children slowly fell asleep while reading the story, and the maid quietly came forward and carried them into the bedroom.
Leng Ling closed the storybook, rubbed his sore eyes, and his obsidian eyes involuntarily fell on the man sitting diagonally across from him.
After whispering to the maid, Leng Ling covered Li En with a blanket.
Handsome face, unruly eyebrows, deep eyes, and always slightly upturned lips.
This man belongs to me.
Looking at the man's defenseless look, Leng Ling stretched out his hand in a strange way and moved closer to the man's closed eyes.
His eyes inadvertently slid to the man's left hand holding his shoulders. The ring, which represented the knight's identity, was firmly clasped on the man's ring finger, emitting a faint blue light.
He is your knight.
The dark pupils shrank, as if being electrocuted, Leng Ling suddenly retracted his hand, but at this moment he met those slightly hazy golden pupils.
"Ling..."
With a slightly hoarse voice, Li En saw the slightly sad eyes when he was half asleep and half awake, and subconsciously pulled the other person.
Leng Ling avoided the other party's move and lowered his eyes slightly, "You just fell asleep."
It wasn't until this moment that Lien realized that there was an extra blanket on him. He pulled the blanket away, got up from the sofa, and touched the other person's hand that he deliberately withdrew.
"Did you cover me with the blanket?"
"Yes," Leng Ling did not deny, "It's cold here, go sleep in the room."
Li En was a little excited. He hooked Leng Ling's shoulders and naturally touched his chin, "Ling, are your words a disguised request for me to hug you?"
"You..." Leng Ling raised his head in surprise, and his words were completely submerged in Li En's kiss.
