Chapter 9 — Brother Poinsettia Forced Me to Replace Him as Official

Older brother was sitting next to the fish pond and raised his head. There was also a blade of grass in his mouth.

"Don't you know how to write poetry?"

"I'm studying medical books!"

"I know how to write prescriptions!"

"You forced me to stand in front of so many people and do an illegal song?!"

He thought for a moment.

"Then just say that your body is not healthy ——"

"Bui Dien Chi will definitely find you!"

"He was originally aiming for you!"

"If you don't go, he absolutely won't let you go!"

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment. Finally, my brother sighed and stood up straight.

"Alright."

He brushed off the grass crumbs stuck to his clothes. It's very rare that a bit of serious expression appears.

"I'll go to the competition tomorrow."

I breathed a sigh of relief. The whole person immediately sat down on the stone bench.

"Didn't you say so early on?"

His voice suddenly changed direction.

"The day after tomorrow is an even day."

"You have to replace me to attend the inspection of the Ministry of Defense."

"Censorship by the Ministry of Defense?!"

"Even a horse doesn't know how to ride!"

"No problem."

He reached out and patted my head. The smile on his face was extremely brilliant.

"Censorship is just standing there watching."

"There's no need for you to ride a horse."

"Are you sure?"

I stared into his eyes. Trying to find a trace of guilt. His eyes were sincere but calm.

—— I really shouldn't trust him.

"Did he find out anything?"

Ca Ca just peeled a tangerine. His head didn't even bother to raise his head:

"But he told me something very strange."

"He said——"

"Master Shen today, why did you turn back into a tasteless person like before?"

So in Bui Dien Chi's eyes. My main brother is a "tasteless" person. As for me, that impostor. On the contrary, is he an "interesting" person? What strange bad habit is this? Brother Tham Tri Hanh threw the tangerine peel on the table.

"After the meetings on odd days, I will continue to go."

"If I meet Bui Dien Chi, I will handle it myself."

"As for even-numbered days, you only need to worry about it."

We should have refused. We should have immediately turned around on the spot. But when I saw my brother Tham Tri Hanh's identical face, which rarely showed a bit of seriousness like that, I nodded in agreement as if possessed by a ghost. The days that followed. My brother and I just took turns going into battle. The odd day he left. Cold, quiet, handling political affairs quickly and decisively. On even days we go. Quietly speaking, pretending to be deep, relying on the coping handbook that brother prepared in advance to deceive through the day. No one in the court discovered anything unusual. After all, in everyone's eyes, Tham Tri Hanh was originally a person with an unpredictable personality, sometimes cold as ice, sometimes suddenly revealing a bit of gentleness that did not belong to "him". They just thought it was a strange habit of a genius. There is only Bui Dien Chi —— This person appears more and more often on my "even days". He started "coincidentally meeting" me after the tidal wave. Starting to "just happen" to appear on the road we pass. Started using those peach blossom eyes, carrying a scrutiny that sent chills down my spine, looking at me and smiling. Every time he appears, I feel like a mouse being watched by a cat. Until today there. It was an even day. After the tidal wave, I bowed my head and walked quickly towards the palace gate, thinking only of having to quickly return home and take off this heavy official uniform. Suddenly a hand grabbed my wrist. The force is not heavy.
