She was like a ball of soft cotton candy with a sweet fragrance, inviting people to pick her up.
Feng Linbai felt his throat was a little dry and swallowed his saliva.
Jiang Yu seemed to have entered a dream.
In her dream, she did not sleep very well. Her small body twisted and the small hand on Feng Linbai’s chest moved. She tugged at his clothes and called out softly and uneasily, “Big Brother…”
Feng Linbai gently patted her hand. “I’m here.”
Jiang Yu placed her hand on Feng Linbai’s and called out again, “Big Brother…”
Feng Linbai patiently replied, “I’m here.”
Jiang Yu seemed to have been successfully appeased.
She did not reply and her furrowed brows gradually relaxed.
Her breathing gradually became even.
In the silence, Feng Linbai stared at the ceiling. No one knew what he was thinking about.
After a long while, he slowly exhaled. Then, he slowly turned his head and planted a gentle and precious kiss on Jiang Yu’s forehead.
“Goodnight, Yu’er.”
His soft voice sounded like he was talking in his sleep.
…
Outside the door.
In the darkness, a person was squatting by the door.
It was Jiang Chenglang, who was supposed to be sleeping on the sofa.
After the lights had been turned off, Jiang Chenglang couldn’t seem to fall asleep.
He tiptoed to the door of Jiang Yu’s bedroom and pressed his ear against the door, listening to the conversation in the room.
Then, he heard Jiang Yu’s fairy tale voice.
The girl’s voice was soft, with a hint of cuteness.
Thinking about the male fox lying on Jiang Yu’s bed, Jiang Chenglang felt his heart ache again.
He was Jiang Yu’s older brother. wasn’t he the most qualified person to coax Jiang Yu to sleep?
How could he have been taken advantage of by a male fox?
Even though he heard no sound from inside the room, Jiang Chenglang did not leave.
He lingered at the door for a little while longer. After confirming that Jiang Yu had fallen asleep, he quietly returned to the sofa.
In the end, his phone lit up.
In order not to be disturbed, he had put his phone on silent. His surroundings were now quiet and dark. His phone persistently displayed incoming calls. Jiang Chenglang took a look and saw that it was Jiang Zeyu again.
Jiang Zeyu had already called him more than a dozen times.
Feeling like he had to give Jiang Zeyu an explanation, Jiang Chenglang ran to the balcony, closed the door, and picked up the phone.
The moment he picked up the call, the person on the other end shouted aggressively, “Big Donkey Jiang, where’s Little Sister?!”
When Jiang Chenglang, who was already in a bad mood, heard Jiang Zeyu’s rude words, he immediately said coldly, “Address me as Big Brother.”
Jiang Zeyu refused straightforwardly, “No!”
Jiang Chenglang said, “Then I’m hanging up.”
Jiang Zeyu: “…”
Jiang Chenglang: “If you want to know where Little Sister is, call me Big Brother.”
Jiang Zeyu: “…”
Jiang Chenglang: “Are you going to call me Big Brother or not?”
Jiang Zeyu gritted his teeth and shouted, “Big Brother.”
Jiang Chenglang: “Okay.”
Jiang Zeyu:”??? That’s it? Where’s Little Sister?!”
Jiang Chenglang: “Xiao Yu is sleeping somewhere else tonight. I’ll be with her. Don’t worry, she’ll be safe.”
He wasn’t going to tell Jiang Zeyu that Jiang Yu was at An Yimin’s place. Otherwise, he was worried that Jiang Zeyu would rush over and cause a scene.
It was best not to stir up any more trouble.
Jiang Zeyu asked curiously, “Why didn’t Little Sister come back home and is sleeping somewhere else instead? Did you make her angry again?”
Jiang Chenglang: “??? What do you mean by ‘again’?”
Jiang Zeyu: “I thought you were going to acknowledge Lu Yuan as your sister again and make Little Sister unhappy. Other than that reason, why wouldn’t Little Sister go home to her own bed? Why would she sleep outside?
“Isn’t it because you did something wrong that made her unhappy and then you had to chase her and coax her?”
Jiang Chenglang’s forehead twitched violently. Considering that he couldn’t disturb the rest of the An family, he lowered his voice and said with a hint of anger in his voice, “Jiang Zeyu, what kind of brain do you have? Have you been reading too many novels? Why are you so imaginative? What are you thinking about?
“If I wanted to bring Lu Yuan back, would I have moved out? Don’t I have anything else better to do?
“Moreover, Lu Yuan’s surname is Lu now. Even if she has some sort of ties to the Jiang family, it has nothing to do with me! Jiang Yu’s my biological sister. This can’t be changed. You should know that it would be impossible for me to bring Lu Yuan back!”
Jiang Zeyu mumbled, “If only you knew that, then everything would be fine…”
Jiang Chenglang’s voice turned cold, “I don’t need you to lecture me.”
Jiang Zeyu mocked, “Of course. After all, you’re not that important in Little Sister’s heart.”
Jiang Chenglang: “…”
Jiang Zeyu was even more confused. He threw out a series of questions, “Then why didn’t Little Sister come home? What happened to her tonight? Why did she come home so late? Why did she have to go out to sleep in the end?”
Jiang Chenglang said, “Those are some difficult questions. I’ll tell you tomorrow when Xiao Yu wakes up.”
Jiang Zeyu mumbled, “What’s the matter? Why are you so mysterious…”
He took the second-best option and said, “Then, even if something had happened to Little Sister and you can’t tell me for the time being, do you still need to keep the whereabouts of you and Little Sister a secret?
“You should at least consider the fact that I’ve been waiting at your door for such a long time and you neglected me! I’m freezing to death!”
Jiang Chenglang was stunned and couldn’t help but raise his voice, “You’re outside my door?”
After saying that, he covered his mouth and quickly looked back. Seeing that no one in the bedroom was alarmed, he lowered his voice again and said, “You’ve been guarding my house? You know my house address?”
“Of course. Little Sister told me the address the moment you moved,” Jiang Zeyu said, “Now that I’ve answered your question, you should answer mine, right?”
Jiang Chenglang still said, “You’ll find out tomorrow.”
Jiang Zeyu said unhappily, “What on earth are you doing? Why are you so mysterious…”
As he said that, he suddenly thought of something and said in surprise, “You can’t have taken Little Sister to a hotel, right? I’m telling you, if you want to get a room, there must be two rooms!”
Jiang Chenglang: “… do you even need to tell me that?”
“That’s true… Little Sister definitely wouldn’t want to sleep in the same room as you…”
Jiang Zeyu said in disdain, “Who knows what bad habits you have when you sleep.”
Jiang Chenglang: “…”
“Then why?” Jiang Zeyu couldn’t help but let out his powerful imagination, “Was Little Sister being bullied and in the hospital right now? Oh, that’s impossible. No one could beat Little Sister. It’s more likely that she sent someone to the hospital…”
“Is it because she was attending a class party and was playing too late? For safety’s sake, she didn’t come home? Hmm… That doesn’t sound right either. Since you’re already there, you could bring her home. Besides, Little Sister and I are in the same class, so I would know if there were any class parties, unless… she had gone out to play with Ji Churan and the others…
