After being questioned by me, Chu Yuan’s beautiful face instantly turned red. She turned her face in a fit of pique, clearly feeling embarrassed.
Catching up with us, Dongfang Lianren pouted her lips in dissatisfaction, “Elder Brother Nan, you are so good at acting. A basketball idiot? That shot was so accurate, and that posture was also quite professional, and that last sentence, ‘young man, you are not mature enough, there is still a lot to learn.’ It is so cool! Hee Hee, even if I know that you are pretending to be cool, but it is still very cool, and, and very handsome!”
Dongfang imitated my tone and cutely repeated what I had said. She treated me like her enemy, but I still managed to impress her. This made me feel like I was on cloud nine. Then she suddenly changed her tone and sniggered, “now those kids know that the gap between you and them is far more than that three-point line. They will definitely not come to harass me and Yuanyuan again, hee hee, elder brother Nan, thank you~”
I broke out in a cold sweat. My intuition told me that Dongfang Lianren was much more dangerous than Lv Siqi. However, as soon as this thought appeared in my mind, I couldn’t help but wonder, Why would I think that Lv Siqi was dangerous?
Damn it, I am too deep into the play. It even made me feel like I was fighting with those kids because of jealousy. Yuanyuan is my little sister! I want to smile, but when the corners of my mouth moved, I suddenly remembered that Chu Yuan just kissed me on my face.
Oh, my God, I, who was used to acting, was really trapped in the role and unable to extricate myself?
My beating heart accelerated, and it thrilled me. There was an inexplicable tingling sensation coming from every sweating pore on my body. It was burning with fear… But it filled my mind with wild thoughts as if I was a masochist…
Shit, am I a really masochist?!
“Elder Brother, why can you throw that accurately?”
“By luck,” I replied absentmindedly. After being expelled from the basketball team back in the university, I had actually spent three or four months practicing my basketball skill intensely.
But what was the actual reason for that? Oh right, I remembered it now, because my parents brought Chu Yuan to see that game as well, and after that game, I was mocked by her.
Looking at Chu Yuan, I saw the girl’s eyes flashed a strange twinkle, seemingly doubting and… Joy?
The girl’s teasing was somewhat mischievous, and her hands tightened around my arm. “Hee hee, I knew that the practice that time wasn’t useless.”
I was dazed. She still remembers it?!
. . .
I didn’t know if Ms. Shu had forgotten that she had invited me to school. I waited in her office for nearly fifteen minutes, but I still saw no sign of her.
Dongfang Lianren went back to class first. Before leaving she repeatedly apologized to Chu Yuan that she was not able to bear the difficulties with her when she needed her. I really wanted to tell her that she should thank me instead.
Seeing how much Dongfang Lianren feared that her family would be told this kind thing, it made me even more curious about her family.
This bright big office should be shared with five or six teachers. But surprisingly, at this time, there was no one here. Then Chu Yuan told me that at noon the canteen would be very crowded, so if there was no class, teachers would go to the canteen during the last morning class and take the seat in advance.
Damn, isn’t this a key high school? What kind of teachers are they…
Chu Yuan was very nervous, sitting on a chair in front of me fidgeting. I couldn’t help but say,
“Yuanyuan, are you not tired?”
“Elder Brother, you… Have you decided what to say to Ms. Shu?”
“What to say? The truth. Of course.”
“But… But…”
I put my hands on her shoulders and forced her to stay calm and laughed, “Don’t worry, if the sky is falling, you have your elder brother, my support. There is me on top of you, what are you afraid of?”
This was such a great opportunity, how would I miss it? Whether it was saying something to please her, or showing off, when Chu Yuan’s psychological defense was the most fragile, I needed to emphasize my importance to her to the greatest extent, building up a trustworthy and reliable elder brother’s image, so as to make it easier to discipline this girl in the future!
Especially the relationship between her and Dongfang Lianren, I made up my mind, no matter whether Dongfang Lianren was a lesbian or not, this elder brother, I would have to become a mountain between the two of them, supervising their relationship!
Chu Yuan’s small face suddenly appeared with a layer of blush, “on… on top of me? That… That sounds so dirty.”
Dirty my ass! What are you thinking?!
Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, I flicked her forehead. “It is you who have a dirty mind, and you have the audacity to say that my words sound dirty? If I didn’t care about you or want to spoil you, you think I would say this?”
“Care about me and spoil me?” Chu Yuan lowered her head after hearing what I said, not saying a word for a long time. She played with her fine-skinned fingers for a while and then said quietly, “Elder brother, will, will you… tell mom and dad about this?”
I was dazed, and then deliberately tried to tease her, “who knows, that depends on if someone will listen to my words in the future or not.”
‘I’ll, I’ll!” Chu Yuan quickly took my wrist, begged: “I will listen to your words, you must not tell mom and dad. Otherwise, otherwise…”
Otherwise, your good image will be ruined? I wanted to ridicule her in order to avenge her for how she bullied me in the past. However, seeing her pitiful and frightened look, I didn’t have the heart to carry on teasing her.
“Otherwise, they will not love me anymore, and then I’ll become an unwanted child. Mom, Mom, she definitely will not want me anymore!”
Chu Yuan’s words made me very confused. Seeing that she actually cried out, I helped her to wipe away tears, and smiled, “You are thinking too much. Mom was just trying to scare you when you were little so you could behave. Why are you still taking it seriously?”
I remembered that when I was a child, whenever Chu Yuan was being naughty, my stepmother would keep a straight face and said to her, “if you don’t behave, I don’t want you anymore…” Chu Yuan was very scared of this threat. Every time she heard this, she would cry in fear. But whenever this happened, I, who was “tortured” by her, would stand up and say something good for this girl. Later on, Chu Yuan grew up, became smarter, and no longer left any trances behind, so the number of times that my stepmother said this became fewer and fewer.
However, I did not expect that she who was sixteen years old now was still taking this seriously. Probably before my stepmother married my father, my stepmother used this to scare her many times, and it caused a psychological trauma in her mind.
This girl, sometimes she was shrewd and smart, but sometimes, she was very naive and lovely.
“Really?”
“Really, besides, didn’t I say that I will not tell mom and dad? As long as you listen to me in the future, and never watch those things.” I suddenly kept a straight face and said.
This incident was also a lesson for me. There should be a certain limit as to how much I should spoil her, and I should make my bottom line very clear. After all, my parents have asked me to take care of her. As her elder brother, I have a duty to educate her well.
Chu Yuan twitched her little nose, nodded heavily, “I will not touch it again, I will listen to your…” She then thought for a while and added, “only on this matter…”
Damn it. Why does she suddenly become smart?
“Ouch~!” Just when we were talking, the office’s door was suddenly pushed open. A careless woman seemed to have flung herself into the room with all her might, staggered, nearly falling over. When she finally managed to stand still, she raised her head and looked at us.
Seeing our stunned expression, she blushed, hurriedly covered her mouth and made a dry cough, instantly regaining her dignity, and then showed a polite and sweet smile, and said unhurriedly, “hello, you are Chu Yuan’s guardian, right?” Her voice was as clear and beautiful as a yellow oriole, but there was too much intonation in her tone, making people feel that she was pretending to be an old and experienced teacher.
I was a little stupefied. At first, it was caused by the huge difference between how she acted now and how she entered the office, and then it was because this teacher was too different from the one I imagined in my mind! Didn’t Dongfang Lianren say that Ms. Shu was an old fogey?
Black long hair loosely tied behind her head, apricot-shaped face peach-colored cheeks, looking very pretty. Eyebrows like spring mountain in shallow mist, eyes like gentle autumn water ripples. It seemed that she was still embarrassed about what had just happened, there were two red halos on her fine-skinned cheeks like two red suns that were intoxicated by endless delicateness and loveliness.
After getting used to the beauty of Chu Yuan, Dongfang, Liusu, and Mo Fei, my aesthetics standard has sadly risen to an unprecedented height. But I was still impressed by the appearance of this woman.
In my opinion, this woman cannot be said to be beautiful, but she gave people a stunningly pure feeling. She had a kind of bookish charm, elegant and tranquil, yet slightly careless, revealing some unique feminine charm. Looking at her appearance, she was at most the same age as me. How is she old?!
