Chapter 162: Locking Third Brother
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yue Xin was very puzzled. Yue Lingyi actually cared about someone other than Fourth Brother and Eldest Brother, so she asked why.
Yue Lingyi said directly, “Fourth Brother thinks Yue Lingyun is very handsome. I don’t want Fourth Brother to be sad. If you know how to lock Yue Lingyun, at least don’t let him die.”
Yue Lingyi’s words were as if he already knew that something would happen to Yue Lingyun after he left this time. He could sense the abnormality from the usual clues and deduce the possibility of the future. He was such a terrifying person.
Yue Xin originally didn’t want to care, but this was the first time Fifth Brother had asked her for help!
“Fifth Brother, I can help you, but you have to owe me a favor.”
Yue Lingyi nodded without thinking. In his opinion, returning Yue Xin’s favor was nothing more than helping her lazy behavior. It was not a big deal. However, if Yue Lingyi could predict the future, he would definitely regret agreeing to Yue Xin’s conditions so easily today.
The day Yue Lingyun left was Saturday. Other than their parents, everyone else was present. Five people sent him to the door of his house. This was also the first time Yue Lingyun had such an experience. He remembered that the last time he left home, only his elder brother sent him off.
Yue Lingchen was also a little emotional. He patted Yue Lingyun’s shoulder and did not speak for a long time. After a long time, he said softly, “Third Brother, just be yourself.”
Hearing this, Yue Xin understood. She finally understood why her third brother died. The difficulty of the mission was one thing, but Yue Lingchen’s words played a key role. Her third brother would not choose to think for himself. Don’t ask how Yue Xin knew. This might be the feeling between people of the same race. The consequence of not thinking was to die in the mission because he no longer had a reason to work hard for something.
If Big Brother had said “complete the mission well and come back alive”, the outcome might have been different.
Yue Xin didn’t know if she had guessed correctly, but this possibility was the most likely among the hundreds of possibilities she had analyzed.
Yue Lingyi’s gaze had always been on Yue Xin. Yue Xin understood that he was urging her to act quickly.
Thus, after Yue Lingchen instructed Yue Lingyun, Yue Xin said to Yue Lingyun, “Third Brother, can I ask you for a favor?”
Yue Lingyun didn’t reply, and instead silently looked at Yue Xin.
“The gun you made for me this time is too heavy and has a strong recoil. Can you get a smaller one for me to play with next time?”
When Yue Xin said this, the person who was most shocked was not the person involved, nor was it Yue Lingchen, but Yue Lingyi.
Yue Lingyi had thought of many methods that Yue Xin might use, but he never thought that Yue Xin would confess her culpability relating to the gun incident in front of Yue Lingchen. The last time they played with guns, all of them had been taught a lesson, but this time, she still dared to do it?
Yue Lingyi observed Yue Lingchen’s expression. He originally thought that he would see anger on his face, but strangely, even if Yue Xin said so, Yue
Lingchen was still very calm. He did not even stop her. He only said to Yue
Lingyun, “Just make a model for her. Don’t give it to her for real.”
Yue Xin was unhappy. “Then I want something else. Take the first bullet that hit Third Brother home and give it to me.”
Yue Xin’s voice was very soft, but it fell heavily in everyone’s hearts. It was spring now, and everything was revived. Everywhere was filled with vitality. Yue Xin’s words were like a spring breeze that brushed past everyone’s hearts.
No one spoke in the courtyard for a long time. Everyone was waiting for Yue Lingyun’s answer.
Yue Lingyun opened his mouth and instinctively looked at Yue Lingchen.
However, he realized that the way his brother looked at him now was different from when he was young. Other than a comforting smile in his eyes, there was also trust. His brother trusted him.
[Third Brother, just be yourself.]
When he heard this, Yue Lingyun knew that the protective rope that his elder brother had tied around him had broken. But at the same time, he had been put on a new rope. No one knew what Yue Xin had said to him when they were alone. That was the agreement between the two of them.
[Third Brother, when you feel lost, remember the bed at home.]
[Look at my code of conduct. It’s very simple. All the hardwork is for the sake of lying quietly in bed at home.]
[This is your return gift for making me a gun.]
[I’ll tell you how to do it, provided it’s not too troublesome.]
And now, Yue Xin told him that she wanted to bring home the first bullet that hit him to give her.
Yue Lingyun replied, “Okay.”
This was the agreement between Yue Lingyun and Yue Xin. It was the agreement between him and his family. At the same time, it was also the first order Yue Xin, who was holding the other end of the rope, gave him.
Not long after Yue Lingyun left, Yue Xin’s results were out. She didn’t get first place, but she got second place and won a prize money..
