Treat it as if it never happened? What a childish idea! Do you think this is the case of a wife finding out that her husband sent an ambiguous text message, and then generously saying "I won't do it again, I'll treat it as if it never happened"? We're siblings! Brother and sister! It won't cease to exist just because you refuse to admit it! It's written in the DNA sequence and can be used as evidence in judicial proceedings!
"That's absolutely not possible." My attitude gradually hardened, "Although it might not be the best time, since you know the truth, it's best to immediately accept it! My feelings for you won't change … "
"But my feelings for you …!!" Ai Mi suddenly shouted, then she realized she said something wrong. After a moment of silence, she corrected herself and said: "We only have a master and servant relationship, I hate sibling relationships! You can still be a manservant! "
I was very angry at Ai Mi's unreasonable behavior. If I had to deny our sibling relationship, then what was the point of my previous efforts?
My brain heated up, and I spoke louder.
"Hey, can you not be so willful? Did you forget how I risked my life to save you on the pedestrian street? I can even give up my life, I just want you to call me brother. Is this request too much? "
"Too much! If I say it's too much, then it's too much!! "Ai Mi clenched her fists and shouted at me with a higher pitch.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm down, but I failed.
In order to show that I would not back down on this issue, I took a step closer to Ai Mi and looked down at her. She also looked at me as if she was facing a challenge, as if she was even angrier than me.
"Ai Mi, are you going to call me brother or not?"
I couldn't help but use a threatening tone.
"I won't! I won't! "Ai Mi stiffened her neck and fiercely contradicted me.
"You …" I subconsciously clenched my right fist because of my anger.
Ai Mi, who noticed this, not only was she not afraid, she even moved closer to me. She put her hands on her waist and tilted her head, making her ponytails one higher and one lower.
"Hmph, you lowly manservant, do you dare to hit your master? If you have the guts, then hit me! Hit me! "
I unclenched my fist and put it down. I wouldn't have hit my sister in the first place. Clenching my fist was just a subconscious reaction.
I squeezed my eyes shut in annoyance, forcing a lot of wrinkles between my brows.
"Ha, since you don't have the ability to hit me, why don't you kneel down and beg me?" Amy said sarcastically. "As long as you put your head on the carpet and beg me sincerely, I might even call you big brother!"
"Remember to say, 'Great Miss Ai Mi, please give this lowly manservant some grace and call me brother. Even if I die, I will be satisfied! '"
"I won't bend the rules even if you miss a word. What do you think?"
Who would agree to such a humiliating condition! If he had to act servile in order to be called "Big Brother", then he might as well not have it at all! Rejected! Firmly reject!
"Ai Mi, stop throwing a tantrum. We can only continue to get along if you admit that we're siblings …"
"What do you mean?" Ai Mi interrupted me, "Are you threatening me? Are you saying that if I don't call you brother, you won't come to see me again? "
I originally wanted to nod, but I couldn't bear to see the flickering fear and loneliness in the depths of Ai Mi's eyes, so I could only change my words:
"I don't care about being called manservant, or rather, it's because you're my sister, that's why I don't care about you calling me that. If it was someone else, it wouldn't work …"
"So, in the future, you can continue to call me manservant in front of outsiders, but when it's just the two of us, you have to call me brother! This is the meaning of me protecting you and taking care of you! Are you going to deprive me of this meaning? "
Ai Mi hesitated a bit when she saw my sincerity.
But then she violently shook her head and rejected a thought that I didn't know about.
"Let's, let's make a deal!" Ai Mi shouted. This familiar phrase made me think of her mother, Ai ShuQiao.
"Ye Lin, you … continue to be my manservant, and I won't call you brother when we're alone …"
"Hey, isn't this the same as before?" I complained.
"Don't interrupt! I haven't finished speaking yet! " Ai Mi waved her little fists angrily, "If … if you're willing to do that, I won't arrange any hard work for you in the future. In general, you won't have to do anything!"
"But … I still haven't gotten any benefits!"
"How is there no benefits!" Ai Mi's face turned red, "You don't have to work for the rest of your life. You just have to eat with me, play with me, and I'll support you … isn't that enough!"
Eh? Although she's young, Ai Mi has learned a bit of Ai ShuQiao's ability to seduce people! Does she want me to use my dignity as the price to live off my sister for the rest of my life? Even though my Spartan soul wouldn't allow it, but after thinking about it for a bit, it seemed like a pretty comfortable future!
I sighed.
"Ai Mi, do you remember? The second time we met, when we bumped into each other in the supermarket, you wanted to buy the chips in my hand with ten RMB, but I didn't take your money. I'm afraid that was when you felt that I was a different person, a person who wouldn't be bribed by your mother's money. Just like that time, I won't be bribed by you now. "
Ai Mi couldn't hide her disappointment.
"But." I emphasized, "I can work harder, put in more effort, and risk my life for you as long as you call me brother — — is it really that difficult?"
Ai Mi was speechless, but she didn't give up and continued to bargain with me:
"Then … continue to be my manservant and I'll provide you with everything you need. And if you perform well, I'll … call you brother a little bit, how about it?"
Based on her expression, this was already the biggest concession she could make.
"No." I rejected, "If even calling me brother is a reward, then what would my status be?"
"You're a manservant ~ ~!" Ai Mi yelled impatiently.
"That's the problem!" I also yelled back, "You can use me like a manservant, but you have to call me brother! I'd rather do this than live like a prince and enjoy the treatment of an older brother while being called a manservant! "
"Why do you have to care about the title!" Ai Mi was angry and anxious, she was about to cry again.
"Because I deserve this title!" I also refused to give in.
"Let's play rock-paper-scissors!" Ai Mi suggested, "If you win, I'll call you brother! Otherwise, you'll be a manservant for the rest of your life! "
Ai Mi said with a twisted tone of self-abandonment.
"That's ridiculous!" I waved my hand to express rejection, "How can you treat a brother-sister relationship like this!?"
Actually, another reason was because I was unlucky. My winning rate in rock-paper-scissors was only 25%. I don't want to lose my position as a brother because of my bad luck.
"Why are you so stubborn!" Ai Mi's face was red with anger, her breathing was rapid, and her small chest was rising and falling.
"You're the one who's stubborn!" I retorted sarcastically. In fact, we siblings might be equally stubborn, and we both belong to the "stubborn enemies" mentioned in the textbooks.
"I've decided!" Ai Mi suddenly said loudly, "I'll still call you a manservant! I'm used to it! Besides, didn't the older brother become the younger sister's servant appear in some movies? Even though we're born from the same mother, there's still a difference in status … "
The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener took it seriously. This sentence was like a sharp sword that poked at a sore spot in my heart.
My tone of voice cooled quickly.
"What do you mean? Do you think your status is higher than mine? Do you think the difference comes from different fathers? "
Ai Mi did not immediately notice my abnormality, and she still felt good about herself and said:
"Of course! America is more developed than China, so my American father, of course, is better than your Chinese father … "
That's the only point you can't touch! I have no intention of comparing the advantages and disadvantages of China and America, but the father who raised me and educated me cannot be insulted. Especially not by you, who is the child of an ex-wife and an eloper!
"Ai Mi, I don't care about anything else, but if you say that your American father is more noble than my father, and you look down on me and my father because of that, I must demand an apology!"
"Why should I apologize to you?" Ai Mi did not realize the seriousness of the situation and was still angry with me.
My tone immediately became cold as if I fell into an ice cave.
At the same time, the anger burned away the last trace of reason in my mind.
"If you don't apologize, then I can only assume that our fate is over, and you don't need to call me brother anymore!"
After saying that, I turned around and left.
Ai Mi froze on the spot and watched me walk out of her bedroom.
My chest was filled with anger, so much so that my footsteps were quick, as if I didn't have the slightest reluctance to leave. The rapidly widening distance between Ai Mi and me seemed to indicate an insurmountable gap between us.
With her back facing Ai Mi, I couldn't see her expression, and she didn't make any sound.
Soon, I passed through the living room and walked next to the door of room 101, which was the door that Peng TouSi just left from.
I was also going to leave, but unlike him, I would never return.
You can say that I wasn't calm enough, or that I was young and impetuous, but I had my own bottom line. The only thing I was worried about was that I didn't know how to reply to Li CunZhuang's parents — — I was originally full of confidence and gave them hope, but now I couldn't achieve my goal.
My hand gripped the doorknob. Strange, it was clearly midsummer, but the temperature was as cold as ice.
"Ka la", the sound of the doorknob turning rippled through the silent room.
However, another sound came from behind me, the sound of a young girl desperately running on the carpet, so anxious that she almost fell.
Before I could turn around, Ai Mi had already caught up to me. She threw herself at me from behind and wrapped her arms around my waist.
Her petite body pressed against my back. Compared to the cold doorknob, I felt the warmth of her flesh, and I could even hear Ai Mi's frantic heartbeat.
"Don't go! Don't go! I'll call you brother, okay? I … I'll call you brother from now on!! "
Although I didn't turn around, I could tell from her voice that Ai Mi's face was covered in tears.
I turned around and looked at Ai Mi who was crying like a little kitten. I couldn't help but feel a sense of pity and gave her a smile that represented understanding.
"Brother is a bad person … the worst!"
Ai Mi used my clothes to wipe her tears. Her hair was a mess, her face was red, and she looked very childish. But I felt that she was a hundred times, a thousand times cuter than when she was on stage or in front of the camera.
Although it was embarrassing, the only thought that came to my mind was: My life was worth it!
