298 A Phone Call with Her Brother
“Hurry up and continue. Xiaoyu, I want to hear it.” Fang Xiaonuan went over and climbed onto the rock with Liu Siyu.
“After that, my brother took him to the classroom with his blanket and let him sleep on the desk. Then, Xiaowen performed a live performance and let the maids dress him up for class. Since then, he never dared to pretend to be sick and skip class again.”
“Hahahaha!” Fang Xiaonuan laughed hysterically. “Is there any more?”
Liu Siyu also smiled. “There are still many more stories, but… my memory isn’t that clear.” As she said this, there was a trace of bitterness in her eyes.
Ji Wen squatted beside them and looked at the two girls. “Both of you are my aunts now, but both of you belong to the same generation. How can I measure up?”
Ji Wen already got shocked by the news on the way here, but when he saw Liu Siyu and heard her say these things, he still found it unbelievable.
He had somehow become the nephew of his two good friends! He had encountered such an unlucky incident. This could happen to no one else!
“Xiaoyu, my grandfather said that he wanted you to be my girlfriend!”
“Nonsense!” Liu Siyu said.
“But my dad said I’m not good enough for you,” Ji Wen said.
“Big brother has good taste!” Liu Siyu said.
“My mom likes you too,” Ji Wen said.
“Yeah, my sister-in-law liked me a lot when I was little,” Liu Siyu said.
Feng Qi had been there when her mother-in-law gave birth to a daughter. She was soft, obedient, and especially cute. However, her own child was a naughty boy who played with mud!
Every time she saw Xiaoyu, she wanted to have a daughter too. At that time, she often pestered Mayor Ji to have a second child with her, and she almost went for artificial insemination. But in the end, her dream of having a daughter did not come true.
Fang Xiaonuan said, “It’s no wonder that sister-in-law treated me better than Ji Wen after I married into the Ji family. Those who don’t know would think that I’m sister-in-law’s child and that Ji Wen was picked up!”
Ji Wen said, “My mom likes girls. If you were a man, do you think she’d care about you?”
“If I were a man, would your uncle marry me?”
Ji Wen was speechless and fell silent.
Fang Xiaonuan and Liu Siyu continued their conversation.
Liu Siyu kept looking at the lake and stayed quiet most of the time. She kept thinking about how her youngest brother protected her.
“Brother, I accidentally broke Daddy’s cup,” she said.
Ji Lingchen cleaned up the mess on the ground, then patted his sister’s head. “If you give me a kiss, I’ll say that I was the one who broke it.”
After she did that, Ji Lingchen took all the blame.
“Brother, something bad has happened. I spilled Mommy’s perfume.”
“It’s alright, you have me!” Ji Lingchen replied.
“Brother, I don’t like studying.”
“We’ll study together, then I’ll bring you out to play.”
“Brother, save me. I’m so scared.”
Later, in order to protect his sister, Ji Lingchen got beaten until he was covered in blood. However, he still refused to let go because he had to protect his sister.
Afraid that she would not be able to find her brother after being taken away, Ji Xiaoyu bit her arm and endured the pain, leaving behind bite scars.
However, after that, her memory was jumbled up and she mistook Liu Siyan for her brother.
“Xiaonuan, is he especially worried about me? ” Liu Siyu asked.
“He’s been worried about you for 15 years,” Fang Xiaonuan replied.
Liu Siyu looked at the phone in her hand and stared at the number. Her mind was filled with how well he used to treat her.
In the end, she still dialed Ji Lingchen’s number.
“Hello, Xiaonuan, have you found Xiaoyu?” He picked up the call very quickly.
Liu Siyu was at a loss for words. She was so scared that she could not say a word.
“Hello?” Ji Lingchen said.
Liu Siyu opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Her tears suddenly gushed out.
At that moment, Ji Lingchen seemed to have realized something, and he fell silent too. After a while, Ji Lingchen asked, “Xiaoyu, where are you?”
Liu Siyu said, “Brother, I-I’m…” She was so excited that her whole body was trembling.
When Ji Lingchen heard her call him “Brother”, his heart ached. He shut his eyes tightly and looked up, not letting his tears fall.
Fang Xiaonuan reached out to hug the girl beside her.
After a while, Liu Siyu said, “I’m at Fengyang Lake.”
When Ji Lingchen heard the location, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around so that no one could see him wiping away his tears with the back of his hand.
After hanging up, Fang Xiaonuan consoled Liu Siyu. She asked, “What are you afraid of?”
“Xiaonuan, I’m afraid I won’t have a home,” Liu Siyu said.
