Just who was her brother?
Jianwen was making Mengyao feel really bored and confused right now. Who was Lin Yi? That was her personal business, what did it have to do with him? Checking up on her? Did she need him checking up on her?
"Geez, I thought you had some ulterior motive for asking me to eat with him!" Lin Yi was a little speechless. "I shouldn't have said yes if I'd known!"
"Well, it's fine. You go teach him a lesson tomorrow- he's been an eyesore for a long time now!" Yushu raised her fist. "He's nothing much, but he's so cocky, thinking that the Songshan Young Master title's something! Isn't he just picking the biggest one out of the bunch?"
"Shu, your brother's the head of the Songshan Young Masters!" Mengyao said as she looked at Yushu, speechless.
"My brother? I don't think he's as strong as Shield Bro, he can't even handle that Lingshan girl … One word from Shield Bro and that Song girl's so obedient …" Yushu said excitedly at the mention of Lingshan.
"...... Shu, why do I get the feeling that Yutian isn't your real brother, but Lin Yi is?" Mengyao frowned- her best friend couldn't have fallen for Lin Yi, could she? She was talking about Lin Yi every time she opened her mouth, getting touched, kissed, and hugged by him, and she didn't feel any disgust towards him at all. Was Shu falling for him?
"Hehe … Of course he's my real brother. I admire him a lot, but he's just too weak in front of women. Wouldn't Song girl give in to him if he were a little tougher?" Yushu said with a smile, not caring at all.
"Shu, you're a girl too. Do you want to be a strict husband in the future? Or do you have masochistic tendencies? "Mengyao said. She was a girl, but she was speaking up for a man. What kind of logic was that?
"Aiya, Yao Yao, I just want Shield Bro to break that Jianwen's spirit tomorrow!" Yushu said. "Oh, I misspoke, Jianwen bro …"
"......" Lin Yi ignored the two girls and yawned before going back to his room to sleep.
"Shield Bro, I support you! I'll wait for your good news tomorrow night! "Yushu called out.
"Shu, you know Jianwen's family background. You're just causing trouble for Lin Yi!" Mengyao frowned helplessly. "He's not Zhong Pingliang, not someone Lin Yi can deal with easily. What if something happens to Lin Yi if you drag him into this?"
Mengyao may have been indifferent towards Lin Yi on the surface, even a little disgusted, but she wasn't an unreasonable person. Plus, she didn't hate Lin Yi living in this house anymore. Naturally, she wouldn't cause trouble for him.
Although her father had kept it a secret from her and didn't tell her what Lin Yi had been up to these past two days, she still knew a little about the crisis her father was facing. Lin Yi had solved it all quietly, so how could she cause more trouble for him?
"Hehe, Yao Yao, are you worried?" Yushu's eyebrows and eyes turned into crescents as she smiled at Mengyao.
"My heart aches? Why would I? " Mengyao hmphed. "He's our follower, and now that he's pissed off Jianwen, of course we'll have to protect him when Jianwen comes looking for trouble. So if you let him go looking for trouble, you'll be looking for trouble for us!"
"Oh, it's fine. I'll deal with Jianwen Bro next time!" Yushu took it all on. She was quite good at dealing with Jianwen.
"Alright, let's go to sleep." Mengyao yawned as well. It was already past ten, and Jianwen had been dawdling for more than an hour. Mengyao was tired to death.
The next day, when Lin Yi saw Kang Xiaobo, the kid was overjoyed. "Boss, you're back! I was afraid that you wouldn't make it to my second grandpa's birthday party! "
"I won't, I said two days, so it's two days. It's only Thursday, there's still a few days left … Right, is it Saturday or Sunday?" Lin Yi asked.
"Sunday, but it's not in the city. We'll leave early on Saturday. My second grandpa's house is in Donghai," Kang Xiaobo said.
"Alright, we'll leave Saturday afternoon then." Lin Yi nodded. "Right, how's Fen?"
"She can leave the hospital now. Her body was too weak due to malnutrition. I'm going to get her discharged this afternoon!" Kang Xiaobo said. "My parents are coming with me on Saturday, and I don't know how to tell them about Fen. I don't know if they'll accept it …"
"I don't think that's important. What's important is what you think?" Lin Yi waved his hand. "Xiaobo, do you really like Fen?"
"Tell me the truth?" Kang Xiaobo hesitated.
"Nonsense, why would I ask you if you don't tell me the truth?" Lin Yi glared at him.
"To be honest, when I first saw her picture, I was just moved. After all, it's normal to want to pursue a beautiful girl …" Kang Xiaobo scratched his head in embarrassment. "Just like how I used to like Tang Yun, Chu Mengyao, and Chen Yushu … But I know that it's just a fantasy. None of them will like me. If it wasn't for you, Tang Yun might not even recognize me now!
I liked Fen. At first, I sympathized with her because she's too pitiful and lovable … So, I couldn't help but want to give her more care and love. It's just that after a long time, I went to the hospital every day to accompany her, talk to her, and eat with her. I gradually got used to this feeling. If I don't see her for a day, I'll miss her. I think, I can confirm that I like her! "
"Do you like her or love her?" Lin Yi asked.
"Is there a difference?" Kang Xiaobo shook his head blankly.
"Maybe there's a difference …" Lin Yi sighed. He used to like a girl, the kind that he liked very much. She was Xiaoning.
People say that you can sacrifice anything for love. So, Lin Yi sometimes thought that his feelings for Xiaoning couldn't be considered love … But if it wasn't love, why would he always think of her?
Was it the rules of the industry that restricted him? He had to abide by his professional ethics, or he didn't have the courage to take that step?
Maybe it was both … Or, he couldn't give Xiaoning the life she wanted … At least, he couldn't give it back then.
But now? Lin Yi shook his head. Although he knew that escaping wasn't the solution, he had chosen to escape all these years. It was even more impossible for Lin Yi to take that step.
