Yue Xin nodded. She also felt that Fourth Brother was fine. In this month, she had witnessed Fourth Brother’s strength countless times. If she had such a brain… she still wouldn’t want to move.
Yue Lingchen sent Yue Xin to the door and and the latter rushed to attend the dinner. Yue Xin opened the door and entered the house. She immediately saw Yue Lingyu sitting at the familiar seat and looking at the door.
When Yue Lingyu saw Yue Xin, his originally dim eyes lit up. “Sister, you’re back!” As he spoke, he ran from the sofa to the door and reached out to help Yue Xin carry her bag.
Yue Xin rejected Yue Lingyu very firmly. She was afraid that Fourth Brother would accidentally hurt himself and cry for a long time.
“Fourth Brother, there are eight people today.”
Yue Lingyu nodded when he heard that. His eyes were fixed on Yue Xin as she put down her bag and sat down. Then, he asked softly, “Do your classmates…
hate me?”
Yue Xin was a little puzzled. She looked at her fourth brother, who was about to cry, in confusion and handed him a tissue. “Why do they hate you? They all like you very much.”
Yue Lingyu’s face was filled with disbelief. He lowered his head and retorted softly, “How can that be? They’ve never beaten me once…”
Yue Xin nodded and understood what Fourth Brother was thinking. “Fourth Brother, don’t worry. They’re all very powerful, so they like people who are stronger than them.”
Yue Lingyu stared at Yue Xin’s face for a long time. After confirming that Yue Xin was not lying to him, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“Your classmates are so nice.”
Yue Xin: “I think so too.” It would be even better if there were less confessions.
A few minutes before the competition, Yue Lingyu suddenly asked, “Sister, should I go easy and let them win one round? Anyway, it’s two out of three…”
Yue Xin shook her head seriously. “Fourth Brother, they’re people who worship the strong. The faster you win, the more they like you.”
Yue Lingyu was enlightened and believed it.
That day, Yue Xin ate the boiled fish she had been longing for on time. When she heard the sizzling sound of hot oil being poured, her appetite was whetted.
In stark contrast to Yue Xin’s happiness, there were eight lucky classmates tonight. Why did it feel like today’s competition ended in an instant? Soon… What was the feeling of the competition passing before their eyes without any traces? Yes, it was another day of motivation.
Yue Xin had been a little annoyed recently. Ever since she returned to school this time, she had not dreamed of Big Sister for a long time. She clearly slept like before and would stay in bed on the weekends, but she didn’t dream much anymore. Big Sister didn’t appear in her dreams anymore.
Even so, Yue Xin had never doubted that she would end up in prison. For some reason, she had this intuition.
She sat up from the bed and looked at the time. It was really good. She had breakfast and lunch together today. When she went downstairs, she saw that Fourth brother and Eldest Brother were already waiting for her at the dining table. Yue Xin walked to her seat. Seeing that she had sat down, the two of them began to eat.
Yue Xin had asked before why the two of them were waiting for her to eat together. Her brother replied that if they didn’t wait for her and let her eat by herself, she would definitely stop eating halfway.
The three of them ate quietly. At this moment, Yue Lingyu’s spoon suddenly touched the edge of the bowl and made a crisp sound. Yue Lingyu was stunned. He instinctively covered his eyes and reached for the paper. When he found the paper, he realized that he was not crying! When he turned around, he saw Yue Xin munching on the corn and staring at him. He also saw Yue Lingchen’s smiling face. Yue Lingyu put the paper back and pretended that nothing had happened. He returned to his seat.
Yue Xin swallowed the corn in her mouth and asked, “Isn’t Fourth Brother going back to school?”
If she remembered correctly, Fourth Brother had yet to graduate. In her memory, Fourth Brother had always been studying in school and did not go
home much. In the end, he stayed at home tor a month this time.
Yue Lingyu wiped his mouth and whispered, “I’ve already completed all my credits. A few professors want to invite me to their team’s research project. I don’t know which to choose, so I came back to ask Big Brother.” Yue Xin was not curious about what her brother would say, but…
“Do you have to participate in the projects? Can’t you just lie at home?”
The speechless Yue Lingchen was silent.
Yue Lingyu, who had an epiphany was speechlesss.
Hearing Yue Xin’s words, Yue Lingyu turned around and was about to say something to Yue Lingchen when he was interrupted by Yue Lingchen, “Fourth Brother, don’t imitate your sister.” After all, it was enough that Yue Xin was the only one in the family who was like this. If there was one, everyone could drag that person away. It was impossible if there were too many people!
However, he did not expect Yue Lingyu, who had always listened to everything he said, to retort, albeit in a very soft voice, “Sister is quite good.”
His sister would help him wipe his tears. She never mocked him or looked at him differently. She would even… bring him around and introduce her classmates to him. In short, his sister was really good..
