80 Coaxing Away
“Look, I’m so anxious that I’m sweating. Even my clothes are wet.”
Little Brother Le pulled up his clothes to show Le Wan, trying to soften Le Wan’s heart.
“So that’s why you spoke ill of him?”
Le Wan knew her two-faced younger brother very well, so she would not believe his words just because he was pretending to be obedient and weak.
“I’m just worried about you.” Little Brother Le glanced at Zhai Jing. “Besides, there’s no special relationship between the two of you. It’s easy for a man and a woman to attract criticism when they’re alone in a room. In the end, he even touched you. That’s not right.”
Zhai Jing, who was not innocent, did not have any intention to refute. Le Wan, who pretended to be unconscious and allowed Zhai Jing to approach her, also looked away suspiciously.
“Ahem, since I’m fine now, you can go back first.” She said.
“I don’t want to go back. I want to stay here with you.” Little Brother Le refused to leave.
“If you suddenly skip class, your teacher will call mom. By then, the news of my injury will spread to everyone in the family. They’ll definitely mobilize all of their forces when the time comes,” Le Wan advised. “Then, they’ll take me home and forbid me from studying.”
When Little Brother Le heard this, he said matter-of-factly,
“You’re injured. You shouldn’t go back to school.”
Alright, she had almost forgotten that little brother le was also a member of this family. He had the same tradition and moral integrity as the Le family. Le Wan only felt her head getting dizzier.
She could only pretend to be aggrieved.
“But I don’t want to be like this. You know that there’s only a little time left before the college entrance examination. You’ve seen how hard I study every day just to get into my ideal university. If I’m forced to lie in bed for so many days just because of the injury on my forehead, then all my previous efforts will be in vain.”
“Little brother, you can’t bear to see me sad and disappointed, can you?”
How could Little Brother Le say no when he saw her like this?
“So, I can trust you, right?” Le Wan looked at him with a look of trust. “Can you help me hide this from them?”
“Then I can naturally do it.” The moment he said that Little Brother Le almost bit his tongue.
He regretted it. If his family found out, his sister would be fine, but he would probably be beaten up by his family.
However, Le Wan did not give him a chance to regret it.
“I knew it. You’re the best to me.” She cheered and hugged him.
Little Brother Le was coaxed away in a daze.
Seeing that he had finally left, Le Wan heaved a huge sigh of relief.
“Can you just lie to him like this?” Zhai Jing, who had been watching the whole process, finally spoke.
Le Wan leaned against the pillow tiredly and said casually,
“That’s just how he is. He likes to stick to people too much. If I don’t use some tricks to talk to him normally, he won’t listen.”
She recalled what Little Brother Le had said to Zhai Jing.
“I’m sorry for his attitude towards you.”
Zhai Jing knew why little brother le was picking on him, so he didn’t take it to heart. He even spoke up for him considerately.
“He’s just a child. It’s normal for him to be a little impulsive and have a bad temper. He’s just worried about you.”
On second thought, Le Wan was almost 15 years old this year, she was not young anymore and had a bad temper.
In the original work, because of the death of the original, Little Brother Le became more paranoid and crazy. As a result, he fell into Fu Sui’s trap and ended up being buried in the sea of fire.
Therefore, he really should change his personality back. Otherwise, even if he didn’t face Fu Sui and the other protagonists in the future, if he continued to develop his personality and others did something to provoke him, he would lose his self-control. She was afraid that he would be screwed badly.
Seeing that Le Wan was deep in thought, Zhai Jing shifted his gaze away and pretended that he had not said anything.
“Do we still need to apply medicine?” He asked when he saw Le Wan coming back to her senses.
Le Wan looked at the medicine in his hand and thought of the cold air that had just blown on her forehead. Her heart skipped a beat and she grabbed the quilt.
“Ahem, sorry to trouble you.”
Zhai Jing stood up silently and took two steps toward her. He looked at the hair bun on Le Wan’s head.
“Lift your head a little.”
“Alright, I’m sorry,” Le Wan said softly. She slowly raised her head and looked at him with her bright eyes.
“Then, you should hold back a little. I’m afraid of the pain.”
