"I heard you got bitten by a snake in Bali?" The deep voice of a man came from the other end of the phone.
Ouyang Hao frowned in annoyance, "Was it my sister who told you?"
"If it were her, would I just be finding out now?"
So it wasn’t Xiao Mu who told him?
Ouyang Hao’s lips curved slightly in a smile, and he raised his eyebrows, speaking nonchalantly, "Hey, it’s just a small injury, nothing big. Do I sound like someone who’s hurt?"
"As long as you’re fine, I’m relieved."
"Don’t worry about it." Ouyang Hao suddenly remembered something and hesitated, "Our parents don’t know about my injury yet, do they?"
"If they knew, would they let you stay in Bali alone?"
Ouyang Hao thought about it too; if the Empress Dowager found out he was hurt, wouldn’t she rush over immediately?
Luckily, neither of his parents is interested in gossip news, otherwise, they’d rush over like Li Yun’er, and he’d have to deal with that.
If they knew his injury was because of Lin Yixun, this would be endless.
Ouyang Hao rolled his eyes and smiled, "Bro, you see I’m fine, so let’s not tell Mom and Dad about this to save them from worrying."
"Haven’t you worried them enough?"
"This...," Ouyang Hao chuckled twice, "Am I really that bad? It’s just they worry unnecessarily?"
"Alright, alright. I won’t tell our parents about what’s happening in Bali. But, I’ll give you a reminder. Don’t overdo it while you’re out there. If you cross the line, I won’t hesitate to step in."
The man’s words, though calm, hit Ouyang Hao’s heart like a hammer. He subconsciously looked at Lin Yixun in the distance and chuckled, "Bro, what’s crossing the line? There needs to be a standard, right?"
"Standard? You know very well."
Ouyang Hao frowned in displeasure, "Bro, what society is it now? Are we still doing those old arranged political marriages?"
"Mom and Dad aren’t that old-fashioned."
"Then, stop worrying about my business and focus on your own life."
"I’m doing just fine."
"Bro, sometimes I really doubt if you’re actually my brother." Otherwise, how could he be over thirty and not have a woman by his side?
Could it be, could it be that he has some hidden ailment?
Due to Lin Yixun’s presence, Ouyang Hao didn’t ask out loud, but this doubt always lingered in his mind. His brother seemed completely insulated from women; if it wasn’t a hidden ailment, what else could it be?
Ouyang Che couldn’t be bothered with Ouyang Hao’s nonsense, and said lightly, "Alright, I’ve got things to do. Hanging up."
Before Ouyang Hao could react, the dial tone sounded, and he stared blankly at his phone for a few seconds before breathing a sigh of relief that the call was over.
Actually, he had long wanted to hang up, but his brother had such a dominating presence; if he didn’t end the call first, even with a hundred doses of courage, Ouyang Hao wouldn’t dare hang up on him.
As he thought this, Ouyang Hao felt somewhat pathetic. He, Ouyang Hao, had always done things his way, feared nothing, yet was afraid of his brother?
It was too embarrassing to admit.
