494 Chapter 495 Two people, the same thing
Ziyuan had also said âhalf and halfâ before. Now that I heard the similar words from Chu Yuan, there was a kind of inexplicable complexity in my heart, and the exhaustion derived from this complexity made me unable to get angry at Chu Yuanâs unreasonable provocation.
Feeling helpless, I could only shake my head and smile bitterly while flicking her forehead softly. âTrying to be smart The welcome home dinner was completely ruined by you, but you still donât think you deserve to be punished.â
âOf course! Itâs not like I did it for myself. I did it for you!â Chu Yuanâs face was even redder. But then, she looked sideways and grunted reluctantly, âBut if it was Xue Ziyuan who wanted to punish me, then, Iâll accept itâŠ.â
Although this little girl was a bit stubborn, she still knew what was right and wrong. Seeing the cute appearance of her reluctantly admitting her mistake, I stroked her hair softly while smiling. âZiyuan is not a petty-minded personâ
Chu Yuanâs eyes widened in anger, and she said in a huff, âYou mean Iâm a pretty-minded person?!â
UhâŠ
âIâm not discussing which one of you are petty-minded now, but Iâm trying to explain the reasons to you. Stop trying to change the topic. Otherwise, Iâll really punish you.â I scowled and said, âGoing back to the earlier topic, I havenât taken the initiative to tell Ziyuan what happened five years ago because I was afraid that she would question you, and that would make you feel guilty Donât try to interrupt me again. If you do it again, Iâll, Iâll I pinch your butt!â The bratty girl was still sitting on my lap, so I couldnât smack her, but I could pinch her buttocks.
Chu Yuan, who was eager to speak, spat out her little tongue at me in protest. But I could feel the muscles on her hips tensed. Obviously, she didnât doubt that I would really do it.
âAlthough what you did today was a bit too much, the result is still acceptable. You have said what you have hidden in your heartin a way, it means that you are finally to get over what happened in the past. This is also a kind of relief for Ziyuan and me. It is understandable that she would get angry, but fortunately, the thing I was worried about the most did not happen. She didnât hit you and didnât scold you to be honest, Yuan Yuan, if it were you, would you be able to endure it?â
Chu Yuan didnât say a word, but there was an obvious guilty expression on her face.
I tucked a strand of her hair hanging down from her forehead behind her ear, gently rubbed her soft earlobe, and said in a half-joking tone, âZiyuan didnât know why I didnât reply to her. Except for me, she basically had no friends. Staying abroad alone for five years, many things must have happened. She has definitely encountered many hardships and been bullied in those years. However, let alone helping her, I didnât even ask about her situation. So isnât it normal that she would have some opinions about me? Yuan Yuan, if I ignore you for five years, will you hate me?â
âFive years?â Chu Yuanâs mouth twitched, her face suddenly became very pale.
I was just asking. But I didnât expect that Chu Yuan would have such a big reaction. Just when I wanted to ask her what was wrong, she leaned her head against my chest, and said in a trembling voice as if she was very scared, âI canât stand it I donât know if Iâll hate you or not, but I donât want to know! I couldnât even stand it when you didnât talk to me for a week after I tore up Xue Ziyuanâs letterâŠâ
Chu Yuanâs body was shivering. I couldnât help but be dazed. I always thought that this bratty girl didnât like me talking to her, but I didnât expect that she was actually afraid that I would not talk to her⊠This was a very good weakness. Next time, if she was being unreasonable again, I would not coax her. Instead, I would just close the door and pretend to sleep. Then she would definitely take the initiative to admit her mistake.
âElder Brother, can you promise me one thing?â
Seeing Chu Yuan raising her pitiful little face to look at me, I couldnât help asking her softly, âWhat is it?â
âIf I make you angry again in the future, you can hit me and scold me, just donât ignore me, okay?â
No matter how I tried to forget it, I knew clearly in my heart that it was mainly because I ignored Chu Yuan five years ago that she stubbornly stayed in the snow all night⊠She just didnât know how to get my forgiveness.
âOkay.â
âPinky promise!â
âAgain?â
âSo you wonât go back on your words!â
âAm I that kind of person?â
âYou are if you refuse to do it.â
âOkay, okay, Iâll do itâŠâ
Only after our thumbs were pressed together did Chu Yuan breathe out a long sigh of relief. It was just a childish game, but she took it so seriously. Was she naive or did she really not trust me? I didnât know, I only knew that her relieved smile at the moment made me feel a sense of responsibility, a responsibility that I couldnât ignore.
âSpeaking of which, your elder brother, I, wants to ask you to do something, can you do it?â
I cleared my throat and then said in a non-negotiable tone, âLater, you need to apologize to your Elder Sister Ziyuan. Whether itâs the matter of tearing the letter or what happened tonight, you were indeed in the wrongâŠâ
âThen what about her?!â Chu Yuan was dissatisfied. âIs it right for her to collude with the Third Lady and bully you?â
âThatâs my business with her.â I frowned and said, âBesides, at least until now, the Third Lady hasnât done anything to me, but has helped me a lot with Shu Tongâs problemâŠâ
âYou have no power and money, and you are not handsome. Why does she want to help you? She must have some motives to please you. If she really has a good intention, why didnât Xue Ziyuan tell you who she is? Everything is suspicious, so I donât want to apologize to her!â Chu Yuan blew out her cheeks, pouted her mouth, and grumbled angrily, âShe didnât even write a second letter to you in the past five years, yet you still want me to apologize to her. Iâll only do it if she apologizes to you first!â
No money, no power, not handsome⊠These three words coming from Chu Yuanâs mouth were like three sharp arrows piercing through my heart. It hurt my self-esteem too much.
Iâm your Elder Brother, alright! Can you not say it so bluntly?
âIâve said it already, thatâs my business with herâŠâ
Chu Yuan rolled her eyes and said, âYou are my elder brother and I am your little sister. Your business is also my business. Wasnât it you who taught me this?â
This bratty girl was actually using this against me. Obviously, she just didnât want to apologize to Ziyuan.
âOkay, you donât need to apologize.â I held the bratty girlâs buttocks and got up from the bed. When she panicked, I turned around, threw her on the bed, and said blankly, âIâll go and apologize to her.â
Chu Yuan said anxiously, âWhy would you apologize to her?!â
âIâll do it for you,â I walked out the door without looking back, âafter all, Iâm your Elder Brother. If she says she doesnât want to forgive you, I will kneel down and beg her.â
I had no confidence whether this trick would work or not. God knows if Chu Yuan would care about it.
âWhatâs wrong with you? She should be the one who needs to beg you for forgiveness!â Chu Yuan jumped out of the bed barefoot, grabbed me, and said, âOkay, okay, Iâll apologize to her, okay?â
âReally?â I asked with a suspicious expression, but I was actually very happy inside. Although this bratty girl often caused trouble to me, she was still my little sister after all. She still cared about me.
Chu Yuan blushed and said reluctantly, âReally!â
I couldnât help it anymore, and laughed out loud. I patted the bratty girl on the head, and said with satisfaction, âThatâs more like it. Finally, my years of love for you didnât go to waste.â
âAre you not ashamed? All you know is to bully me. Since when have you loved me!â Chu Yuan said angrily, âI am not even as important as Xue Ziyuan in your heart!â
âSilly girl.â I pinched her face and said with a smile, âItâs because you are more important that I ask you to apologize to her.â
Chu Yuan was stunned, and then in just a few moments, her little face quickly turned red.
Just when the atmosphere in the room started to get awkward, Dongfang shouted from outside the door, âElder Brother Nan, you have a phone call.â
A phone call? I subconsciously touched my pocket. It was empty. Only then did I remember that I put my phone on the tea table when I was eating.
I quickly opened the door without thinking much about it, but I didnât expect that I would collide with Dongfang. I could guess from the force that the little girl fell into my arms, so that meant she had been eavesdropping outside the door!
Dongfang the little brat blushed. However, while handing me the phone, she leaned over to look at Chu Yuan. When she saw that nothing happened to Chu Yuan, she let out a sigh of relief. I couldnât help but wonder what this little brat thought I would dodid she really think that I would hit my little sister?
Anyway, I was too lazy to scold her. I took over the phone from her and then looked at the phone screen. It turned out to be Xiao Yike that minx.
