Chapter 44 Extra: Brother's Story 8

On their return journey, they encountered a fleet of mercenaries, led by the unshaven Yu Xingye, who had been searching all night and hadn't slept for several days.

He rushed over and hugged Ling Wei tightly, then looked for his brother. After seeing that they were safe, he breathed a sigh of relief and fainted.

All three were sent to the hospital. Xu Ziqi, who was already serving a life sentence, was taken away by the state apparatus with astonishing efficiency.

The system suddenly returned midway: "Weiwei! The 'evil woman's luck has been completely taken back! Do you know what happened...?"

After learning about the harrowing events, it lamented, "Waaah, if only I were here, I could have given you a warning!"

Ling Wei reassured herself in her mind: "It's okay, you'll learn from this experience. I can't always rely on you."

The system was so moved that it immediately decided: "I'll protect Niu Niu for the rest of my life, a free, lifetime bodyguard!"

Then, in a cheeky, gossipy tone, he asked, "So... what are you planning to do about your older brother?"

It glanced furtively at the next ward and thought, "Tsk tsk, that guy is practically twisting himself into a pretzel. He's not working and he's avoiding you guys. He's practically ready to explode on the spot."

Ling Wei shrugged: "We'll just have to deal with it as it comes."

She admitted that over the years, she had not been completely unaware of his restrained yet passionate feelings, and her heart had not been unmoved.

but--

This shouldn't be something that bothers me.

system:……

So awful, but I love it!

Ling Wei acted as usual, as if nothing had happened.

It seemed that You Jingxuan had reached his limit and finally found an opportunity to call You Xingye out.

After one night, only Yu Xingye returned, with fresh abrasions on his hands.

Ling Wei pretended not to know and silently took out a first-aid kit to treat his wounds.

You Xingye hugged her tightly, buried his head in the crook of her neck, and remained silent.

In the days that followed, he never mentioned You Jingxuan again.

However, when he learned that You Jingxuan had taken on a key national project and was about to travel to a country in the Southern Hemisphere for ten years, You Xingye panicked again.

That evening, he went out again, only telling Ling Wei not to wait for him.

Ling Wei was telling Niu Niu a bedtime story when her mental real-time reporting system went live again:

[A fight broke out! Oh, it's a one-sided beating! You Jingxuan is just standing there like a punching bag!]

[Haha! They've started drinking!]

[Hahaha! They're both completely drunk!]

Ling Wei had just settled Niu Niu, who had fallen asleep, when she was jolted awake by the system's maniacal laughter.

The system was overjoyed: [Do you know what your brother-in-law just said? Hahahaha! He! He's laughing so hard!]

Ling Wei: ......

Are you going to tell me or not?

Switching back to Yu Xingye, he was absolutely furious at his older brother's intentions.

Over the years, his elder brother has been surrounded by many women, but he has remained completely untouched. You Xingye thought he was just incredibly career-driven, but what happened? His heart was set on his wife!

After hearing the confession last time, he didn't even have the desire to communicate; he just punched me and left.

But they are, after all, brothers who depend on each other for survival.

Upon learning that his older brother had volunteered to spend ten years in some godforsaken place, he instantly understood—this was to put his mind at ease.

One night, the two brothers drank themselves into oblivion.

Later, You Jingxuan flew to the partner country.

He also bought a house there, and Secretary Wang faithfully followed him. He came voluntarily because he was captivated by the boss's charm, and definitely not attracted by the doubled salary.

On the way back after the inspection, Secretary Wang's eyes darted around, and he seemed restless; it was clear he was hiding something.

You Jingxuan narrowed his eyes, about to ask a question, when his phone "dinged" and a message came in.

From Yu Xingye: [It's inappropriate to keep acting like this, hurry back to your country!]

You Jingxuan: [???]

The car had arrived at the mansion's entrance. He frowned, took his phone, and got out of the car, casually making a video call to You Xingye.

The screen lit up, showing Yu Xingye's handsome face, which was filled with displeasure.

Before he could even speak, the other person rolled their eyes at him and said irritably, "That's enough, hurry up and get back here, don't keep me waiting too long!" Then, they hung up with a "click".

You Jingxuan: "..." Did this guy drink fake alcohol?

Immediately afterwards, my phone received another video.

Click to open.

The screen was shaky and the background noise was loud.

Two drunk men were arm in arm. His brother (slurring his words, his hand wobbling over his phone): "What...what did you just say? Say it again!"

The camera zoomed in on him (his eyes glazed over): "I'm telling you! From now on, we'll each be on our own! Outside, I'm your older brother! But with Weiwei, you're the older brother!!"

After saying that, You Jingxuan saw himself looking at the camera in the picture.

He had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, a loud sound

"Big brother!"

You Jingxuan, watching from outside the screen, froze.

In the video, Yu Xingye, who was drunk, was grinning from ear to ear, slapping his thigh and responding repeatedly.

When the video ended, You Jingxuan stood frozen in place, his face blankly reflecting on his phone screen, as if asking, "Who am I? Where am I? What did I do?"

"Ding!" Another message arrived, sounding like a warning, yet also like self-consolation: "As long as I live, you will ultimately be my concubine!"

You Jingxuan's brain completely shut down.

"Ahem!" Secretary Wang reminded him at the right moment, "Mr. You, um... why don't you go home and take a look first?"

You Jingxuan suddenly looked at Secretary Wang, an unbelievable thought popping into his head.

His heart raced out of control, and he no longer cared about his composure. He turned and rushed home, his steps quickening until he was almost running.

"Bang!" He pushed open the door, panting heavily, his eyes scanning the living room anxiously.

The figure that haunted his dreams was sitting peacefully on the sofa.

When she saw him return, Ling Wei raised her head, her lips curved into a smile, and she smiled at him, her eyes clear as if stars had fallen into them.

That night, Yu Xingye waited anxiously in his living room until midnight, only to receive a text message from his older brother, whose old house was on fire and who was extremely impatient:

[Going on honeymoon, don't worry.]

Yu Hoshino: ? ? ?

He immediately made a phone call.

It rang for a long time before being answered. You Jingxuan's voice came through, hoarse and clearly panting: "Wait...wait until Weiwei's vacation is over...and then I'll come back."

He paused, then added urgently, "Don't call again!" Then, the line went dead.

If you call again, the phone will shut down.

Yu Hoshino: ...凸(艹皿艹)！！

No way! I was just being nice by inviting you to the table to eat, and you just took the whole pot away?!

Early in the morning, Niu Niu, still half asleep, was dragged out of bed by her father.

"Daddy?" Niu Niu rubbed her sleepy eyes. "Where are we going?"

Yu Xingye angrily shoved a small sun hat onto her head and pulled on the huge suitcase he had packed the night before: "Let's go on a trip!"

"Where's Mommy? Niu Niu wants to wait for Mommy to go together!"

For some reason, her dad was gritting his teeth: "Mommy left early, let's go after her!"

Niu Niu rubbed her eyes and cheered, "Yay! (＾－＾)V, chase after her!!"
