“Yuan Yuan, do you tell everything to Dongfang?”
“Who said that? !” Chu Yuan hurriedly said, but when she saw that my face darkened, she also felt that what she said was really unconvincing. She turned her face away embarrassedly and stuttered, “We are good friends, of course, I will tell her if something troubles me. . . However, that was not the reason why I told her that today! I just felt that. . . that. . . It was really ridiculous, and, and funny. Yes, I just thought it was funny and told her like a joke.”
Accidentally losing the first kiss to her elder brother and sleeping with her drunk elder brother, indeed, apart from ridiculous and funny, there was really no other suitable word that could describe it. But this was not something that I was interested in, “Do you talk to her about anything that troubles you?”
Chu Yuan was a little curious about my serious attitude, she frowned, but nodded shyly, “Most of it, isn’t this what good friends do with each other? Dongfang will talk to me if she has something on her mind. . .”
After a pause, the bratty girl rolled her eyes at me and said with an enigmatic tone, “Just like you and Cheng Liusu, huh!”
Oh, come on! If it was still in the past, I would have agreed with Chu Yuan’s words, because at that time Liusu and I were best buddies, but now. . . I couldn’t help but wiped the nonexistent cold sweat. Don’t tell me that you and Dongfang were also in a relationship?
“Er. . . Yuan Yuan, can I ask you a question that may not be appropriate for me to ask. I hope you won’t get angry,” I swallowed nervously, and asked carefully: “You are also sixteen years old. If, I mean, if you found a boy you like, would you tell Dongfang about this kind of thing?”
Chu Yuan hasn’t found a boy she liked, at least not yet. I knew this, so this question was not to test whether she had found a boy she liked or not, but to confirm another thing.
“I don’t have anyone I like!” Sure enough, Chu Yuan said shyly, “You are testing me! You want to trick me into telling you something!”
“If, I said if,” I chuckled, “Even if you don’t have one now, you will have one in the future, right?”
“No! It’s impossible!”
Chu Yuan’s determined answer caused my heart to drop. . .
Even in the future, it was still impossible to have a boy she liked? Why? Because she was not interested in boys? !
The expression on my face must be very great. It even stunned Chu Yuan. It took her a long time to realize that what she said was not like what a normal person would say, so she suddenly got up, sat on her knees, and then hit me on the shoulder. “You! What were you thinking? ! It’s not what you think it is!”
Before I could ask her clearly, Chu Yuan said it first. I smiled in an awkward manner, “It’s not what I think it is? Hehe… Maybe you are still young now, so you haven’t thought about your future. Actually, I also shouldn’t be asking you this question. You haven’t graduated from high school, why would I ask you this question? Anyway, it is a good thing that you haven’t started a relationship in high school. . .”
“I am not young anymore! And why can’t high school students start a relationship? There are already several couples in our class!” Chu Yuan seemed to want to use this to prove her age and sexual orientation to me. With a blushing face, she rolled her eyes at me and confided her girlish feelings while enduring embarrassment, “probably, I will. . . If I have a boy I like, I will definitely talk to Dongfang.”
I let out a sigh of relief and smiled: “Then I will not have any worries. . .” It turned out that it was just an angry statement that it was impossible to have a guy that she liked. . .
“Have no worries?” Chu Yuan raised her eyebrows and asked me strangely: “Elder Brother, why do you care that I will tell Dongfang if I have something on my mind?”
“Hmm?” I was taken aback. Oh crap! I was too careless that I actually said what I was thinking in my mind.
Chu Yuan suddenly realized, “could it be. . . You finally like Dongfang, so you start to care about my relationship with Dongfang?. . . Ouch~!”
Before the bratty girl finished speaking, I knocked her head. Not knowing whether to laugh or get angry, I stood up and said, “I am going to emphasize for the last time that I am not interested in Dongfang, that little girl. Yuan Yuan, don’t make this kind of joke anymore, otherwise, I will really get angry.”
Chu Yuan was in pain, covering her head with both hands, curling his lips aggrievedly, and said: “If you don’t like her, then why do you care about my relationship with her?”
When I heard Chu Yuan asked, I felt a little guilty in my heart. This question was hard to answer. I couldn’t tell her that I was testing her, right? Since Chu Yuan said that if she had someone she liked, she would not hide it from Dongfang Lianren, it proved that she was not a lesbian. For Dongfang, she only regarded her as a close friend. And from the way she always wanted to fix me up with Dongfang, it seemed that she didn’t realize that Dongfang Lianren was obsessed with her.
Anyway, it was great that Dongfang brat didn’t lead my little sister astray. Perhaps, this was directly related to Dongfang brat’s instinct not fully awakened, right? Dongfang probably still didn’t realize she was a lesbian. . .
Regardless of whether Dongfang brat would awaken one day, I would still need to protect my cute but problematic little sister from her. But to do that, I must further strengthen our relationship.
Thinking of this, I pressed my hands on Chu Yuan’s shoulders. Chu Yuan was startled, but seeing my serious face, she did not dare to push me away but said timidly: “Are you angry? I, I was just asking. . .”
“I’m not angry, but relieved. I used to think that you were a relatively introverted child. Knowing that you would confide in others also makes me feel happy. But… . .” I did my best to show a gentle and emotional smile, and said sincerely and lovingly: “Yuan Yuan, if you have anything that troubles you in the future, you can also tell me. After all, I am your elder brother. I just suddenly felt that I was a little jealous of Dongfang. Am I not as close as her to your heart, or as trustworthy as her?”
Blushing, I couldn’t help but feel that what I said made me sound like a jealous boyfriend.
“You are jealous of Dongfang?” Although I had always been pampering Chu Yuan, almost without exception, I was forced to do it. Such a proactive “confession”, not only made Chu Yuan shiver all over, but it also made me feel embarrassed. The bratty girl blushed, not able to withstand such a word at all, “No, who knows if you will be laughing at me or not.”
“Why would I? Why would I treat my little sister’s troubles as a joke?” I thought to myself: I even knew your embarrassing secret. Have I ever laughed at you?
“No matter what it is, you won’t laugh at me?”
“Am I a person with zero credibility in your eyes? Have I ever lied to you before?” Ashamed, I actually had just lied to her.
“Then. . .” Chu Yuan suddenly smiled slyly and said: “Okay, if I have anything, I will think about if I should tell you. Hehe.”
Yay! I secretly rejoiced. In theory, when a person was willing to share a secret with another person, it proved that the person had absolute trust in the other person, and the thing that Chu Yuan and I lacked the most was this kind of trust-based communication.
This kind of trust could gradually fill the gap between Chu Yuan and me, making her more or more dependent on me spiritually, and this kind of dependence would undoubtedly bring the relationship between the two people closer. What I wanted to do was to draw Chu Yuan closer to me, and keep her a certain distance from Dongfang.
Any feelings were a double-edged sword. The reason why Dongfang had become more and more attached to Chu Yuan was probably that she also felt that Chu Yuan really depended on her. I did not intend to destroy the friendship between them. I just stopped letting Chu Yuan rely too much on Dongfang. For Dongfang, this was not a good thing. At least, she could clearly realize that Chu Yuan was not inseparable from her, or she was the only friend who could give herself spiritual comfort.
“Okay, it’s a deal then,” I thought for a while, and stretched out my little finger to Chu Yuan, “Let’s make a pinky promise!”
Chu Yuan was dazed for a moment, “Ah? We even need to make a pinky promise for this?”
“Of course,” I said resolutely, grabbing her wrist, hooking her little finger, and smiling: “It’s related to whether I can be a competent and good elder brother or not. Since you said that you have to rely on me, you can’t break your promise. Haha.”
