Chapter 425: Chapter 426 What’s weird about it?
“Brother Nan, I just want to tell you not to go against the Dongfang family!”
Go against the Dongfang family? I never had this kind of thought, and probably Dongfang’s family also would not want to give me a hard time. Because they had never asked me to hand out Dongfang, and I also didn’t take the initiative to tell them that Dongfang was hiding in my flat; I simply kept silent.
At least so far, we haven’t had any problems with each other, and I had no plans to create problems in the future. But I was still curious, so I asked curiously, “Why?”
“Do you still remember the thing I told you last time? There used to be a girl who liked me, but I like Chu Yuan. She hated Chu Yuan and wanted to harm her, but Dongfang Lian cut her face with a paper knife…”
I remembered it, so I nodded, signaling him to continue.
“Dongfang Lianren’s family only used one night to make the girl’s family disappear. So you can imagine how powerful her family is. If they know that you actually hide Dongfang Lianren, then what do you think they would do to you?”
Perhaps because I already had too much trouble, or maybe I had already thought about this a long time ago, I didn’t want to spend too much time thinking about what they would do to me. After all, with the current troubles I had, there was not much difference if I had one more.
But I was still surprised that Lv Siqi actually came out to warn me, “To be honest, I am very surprised that you are willing to tell me this. Can you tell me the reason? Shouldn’t you dislike me?”
“The person I like likes you, so of course, I would not like you. Although I said that I want to be friends with you, and I also really regard you as a friend, when it comes to Chu Yuan, you and I are no longer friends, but rivals in love! If Dongfang Lianren’s family just wants to beat you up, I will probably laugh on the side. But what I’m worried about is that after beating you up, they would make you disappear like what they did to that girl’s family. Whether it is to avoid causing bad public opinions or to kick you out of Dongfang Lianren’s life, they will definitely make sure that you disappear from Bei Tian city…”
Lv Siqi sighed and then carried on with an affectionate tone, “I don’t care where you will go, but if you leave, Chu Yuan will definitely leave with you. That’s something I don’t want to see the most. It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t like me, it doesn’t matter if she will never be my girlfriend, at least I can see her every day now; I don’t want to be deprived of even this little happiness…”
Uh… this brat’s words were too cringy. It even gave me goosebumps…
“Brother Nan, you are more knowledgeable than I am. I just wanted to tell you everything I wanted to say. In terms of what you should do, it’s up to you.” Lv Siqi smiled bitterly and said, “Okay, it’s time for me to go back to class. One last thing, please don’t tell Chu Yuan what I just said. This is the secret between us two men. She already dislikes me very much. If she dislikes me even more, I’m afraid that I don’t even have the motivation to persuade myself to get up and come to school.”
Even if it was an immature affection, and even if it was a native way of expressing his feeling, it was still a pure and genuine feeling. I had no reason to laugh at Lv Siqi, so I nodded solemnly…
Lv Siqi still didn’t understand my little sister. For her, there were no different degrees of disliking. To her, there was only liking and disliking in the world.
The problematic character of this bratty girl would definitely be the biggest hidden danger in her life in the future…
As I was about to go downstairs, I suddenly recalled what Lv Siqi had just said. My heart trembled, and I subconsciously turned around and stopped him. “You just said that if I leave Bei Tian city, Chu Yuan will leave too. What makes you say that?”
Lv Siqi turned around and smiled nonchalantly, “Aren’t you a family?”
I could no longer hide my surprise at more, “You… already know my relationship with Chu Yuan?”
“Both of your surnames are Chu, you think I’m a fool?”
“Then you don’t think it is strange?”
What I referred to was why Chu Yuan wanted to lie to him, but Lv Siqi seemed to have misunderstood me. He shrugged at me and said, “You are not related by blood. So what’s so strange about it?”
After saying that, he turned around and walked back into the class, leaving me standing on the stairs in a daze…
Damn it. That brat would rather believe that we were in some kind of forbidden relationship than Chu Yuan lied to him…
Or…
I didn’t dare to think about it anymore, because the beating of my heart seemed to be accelerating…
As soon as I walked out of the teaching building, Chu Yuan approached me and asked, “Elder Brother, what did Lv Siqi say to you?”
Seeing her face, I couldn’t help but blush, “Nothing…”
“You are lying. Why would he look for you if he didn’t have anything to tell you?”
Chu Yuan’s aggressive attitude made me flustered, and my mind was filled with Lv Siqi’s last sentence, “You are not related by blood.” It was not that no one had said it before, at least Dongfang Lianren also said it once, and my stepmother often teased us using this.
Chu Yuan and I were siblings who were not related by blood. From the day we became siblings, it seemed that we were destined to be teased like this. I always regarded it as a joke, but I didn’t expect that Lv Siqi would say it nonchalantly as if it was a matter of course. It actually caused a tremendous impact on me.
Siblings who were not related by blood could become lovers. In the eyes of some people, it turned out that this was not immoral. Wasn’t this kind of thing unacceptable? Shouldn’t it be considered immoral? Was it really okay?
Lv Siqi’s words made the sordid ugliness that had been suppressed in my heart become restless. I felt ashamed as always, but I no longer felt like I was an animal… However, this kind of psychological change scared me even more.
I know very well that the root cause of my nasty reverie was some unexplainable abnormal actions that Chu Yuan occasionally revealed. ‘What I was thinking’ was just a result, and the culprit for it was, ‘What Chu Yuan was thinking’…
“He couldn’t accept that he lost to me in the basketball game last time. So he wants to compete with me again…” It seemed like I could tell lies more and more easily now. I felt ashamed, but it was not only because of lying but also because of my deliberate concealment. I felt that I was not only covering up for myself but also covering up for Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan snorted coldly, and said disdainfully, “He is so childish, you can just ignore him.”
She was like a little adult showing off her maturity.
“Mhm, I think so too,” I replied absent-mindedly, “Let’s go, don’t let everyone wait for too long.”
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Dong Xiaoye walking out of the office building waving her hands far away. Unlike Liusu or any other girl around me, Chu Yuan not only did not dislike Dong Xiaoye, but was also extremely close to her; it was as if she had an innate affinity for her.
Seeing her also coming to the school, she immediately skipped over to her like a naive little kid.
Before I was relieved, Shu Tong, who was beside me, said lightly, “It was not about the basketball game, but the whereabouts of Dongfang Lianren, right?”
I was dazed. “How do you know?”
“I guessed it. Although Lv Siqi is a troublemaker, he is not the kind of boy who would not accept defeat,” Shu Tong pouted her mouth and continued, “The school is trying to forbid anyone from talking about it, but Dongfang Lianren’s family has come to the school to look for her before. There are already rumors in her class that she has run away from home after having an argument with her family. Many people also suspect that it is Chu Yuan who is hiding her from her family. So it is natural that Lv Siqi would come to ask you for confirmation. This kid is actually quite clever, but he never uses his cleverness in studying.”
This was very strange. Even students would suspect that Chu Yuan was hiding Dongfang away from her family, but Dongfang’s mother seemed to believe that Chu Yuan didn’t know anything about it.
“You know Lv Siqi quite well.”
“I am a teacher, of course, I have to understand my students,” Shu Tong said, “But Chu Nan, regarding Dongfang’s problem, I disagree with your approach. It’s true that her mother shouldn’t force her to leave this city, but this is their family affair after all. So we really shouldn’t hide her daughter away from her. Didn’t you say to me at the beginning that you would talk to her mother? It was because of that that I turned a blind eye to your approach.”
“You think I don’t want to?” I smiled bitterly, “Dongfang is worried that I can’t convince her mother, so she doesn’t want me to talk to her mother. Besides, Dongfang’s mother doesn’t seem to be worried that her daughter has run away from home. There aren’t any actions from her. So even if I want to talk to her, you think she would listen to me?”
“You are right. Her family has also stopped coming to the school to ask about her recently. Such a cold-hearted family. No wonder Dongfang is so rebellious…” Shu Tong changed her tone and said, “However, before the final exam, you must find a chance to talk to her mother. You can’t let Dongfang hide from her family forever, you will never be able to solve the problem this way, and it will affect her grades.”
“Okay, I know.” I nodded while thinking that maybe it was really the time to call Zhen Nuo. After all, I had her number.
“You really know it?”
“Am I that unreliable in your eyes?”
“No,” Shu Tong pursed her lips: “I just felt like you were a little absent-minded.”
I was absent-minded? Turning my gaze from Chu Yuan’s back to Shu Tong’s face, I suddenly regained my senses. Yes, I was a little absent-minded. If Shu Tong didn’t mention it, maybe I would forget what I just said in a few minutes…
