Memories are like ever-blooming stone flowers, yet only the self believes them to be eternal. Ultimately, what they bring is the ruthlessness of reincarnation; perhaps no one will wait this time.
Mo Chen squinted at him and said, "I'll say it again, please leave!"
Wu Wenfeng swallowed hard in fright, grabbed his coat, and ran out.
Seeing Wu Wenfeng leave in a panic, Mo Chen frowned. "Am I... really that scary? Am I really that untrustworthy?"
Mo Chen clenched his fists, feeling frustrated and resentful!
Mo Chen turned his head and looked at the mess in the room. He couldn't help but twitch his lips. How could he possibly stay in a room like this!
He was instantly furious.
Wu Wenfeng was yawning sleepily while hugging his pillow, but since the room was occupied, he could only sit on the cold stone steps and doze off.
Just then, Jin Yi from next door pushed open the door and came out. He happened to see Wu Wenfeng, who was still sleepy-eyed, and couldn't help but smile. "What are you doing here?"
Wu Wenfeng blinked, not daring to say anything more, afraid of waking up the person who had entered the wrong room, and deliberately lowered his voice to say, "Um, it's nothing. I just came out to soak up some sun..."
Jin Yi looked at Wu Wenfeng's sleepy face and, recalling the sounds coming from next door, immediately understood.
Jin Yi didn't intend to expose him, but instead smiled and said, "My conversation with Gu Liyan last night must have disturbed you, right? I suppose you didn't sleep well. Why don't you go to my room to sleep?"
"Is it...is that possible?" Wu Wenfeng's eyes lit up immediately.
“Of course, we’re all brothers, what’s wrong with sleeping in the same room?” Jin Yi said with a smile.
Upon hearing Jin Yi's words, Wu Wenfeng's face immediately fell, and he muttered under his breath:
“My older brother has never let me into his room, and he always locks the door properly when he leaves…”
As he spoke, he glanced at the locked door on the other side.
Jin Yi followed his gaze to Mo Chen's room and couldn't help but smile. Perhaps he didn't know that Mo Chen's actions were actually to guard against "someone else"!
Turning his gaze away, Jin Yi inadvertently noticed a shadow moving around in front of Wu Wenfeng's door. He then smiled, thinking that someone must have already become impatient and was eavesdropping inside.
Indeed, someone was clenching their fists and listening to the two people outside Wu Wenfeng's door with a resentful expression.
But he didn't want anyone to know that he had just tidied up the room inside and out, and now the room was spotless!
However, the conversation between the two just now made him hate Kim Il, who had the potential to be a "third wheel".
Mo Chen thought angrily, "He's not your brother, so why should you take care of him!"
Wu Wenfeng yawned, feeling extremely sleepy. Jin Yi's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Mo Chen inside the room to hear:
“I don’t think your older brother meant anything by it. After all, he said he’s been away from home for a long time, so it’s understandable that he locked his room. I’ve also heard that he’s taken care of you since you were little. I suppose he was just being considerate of your feelings and didn’t want you to be reminded of him by his belongings.”
Upon hearing Jin Yi's explanation, Wu Wenfeng was overjoyed and somewhat excited. "Is that so? Big Brother wasn't actually worried that I would mess up his room?"
Jin Yi was slightly taken aback: So you were a troublemaker when you were little! No wonder someone locked the room...
Jin Yi glanced at Wu Wenfeng's door out of the corner of his eye and said somewhat awkwardly, "Well, that's about it... Anyway, if you're sleepy, you can go to my room to sleep."
"No need, Brother Jin, I'm not sleepy anymore!" Wu Wenfeng said excitedly. "So Brother Jin doesn't dislike me after all. I knew it! He's been so good to me before, how could he possibly dislike me!"
Jin Yi looked at Wu Wenfeng and smiled slightly. This kid is clearly just a child!
Looking at the figure in the room, Jin Yi smiled slightly and said, "I'll go out and see if I can buy some medicine for Gu Shengjun. I'll be going now."
"Oh, okay, Brother Jin, you go ahead with your work," Wu Wenfeng said politely.
Hearing Wu Wenfeng and Jin Yi being so polite, someone looked annoyed: "Damn little Feng, when did he ever treat me so politely! He looks like a sheep meeting a wolf! No way, I have to teach him a lesson!"
Thinking this, Mo Chen pushed the door open, the sudden sound startling Wu Wenfeng. "B-Big Brother...you're not...you're not asleep...?"
"Come in!" Mo Chen said coldly, his eyes narrowed.
Wu Wenfeng immediately wilted like a deflated eggplant. "Big brother, I... I was wrong, please don't hit me..."
Mo Chen looked at him, puzzled. "Huh? What did you do wrong? When did I ever hit you?"
“I shouldn’t have secretly opened your room after you left… You used to beat me every time I went into your room, and once you even hung me on a tree on the edge of a cliff for three days and three nights…” Wu Wenfeng glanced at Mo Chen cautiously, then hurriedly said, “But don’t worry, big brother, I made sure to tidy up for you after I went in after you left!”
Mo Chen's lips twitched involuntarily.
tidy?
Seeing the room in such a mess when I first came in, I could imagine how this guy would clean it up!
Mo Chen took a deep breath and coldly said, "Come in!"
"Ah, oh..." Wu Wenfeng cautiously entered the room.
But as soon as I entered, I was stunned. The room was tidy and orderly, and even the cobwebs on the walls had been wiped away.
"Big brother, this..." Wu Wenfeng looked at Mo Chen with a delighted expression.
“You’ve never been good at tidying your room since you were little, and you always need someone to take care of you.” Mo Chen sighed, his gaze softening, as if he had thought of something.
Seeing Mo Chen's rare gentleness, Wu Wenfeng was moved to tears. "Big brother, thank you."
Wu Wenfeng's eyes trembled with tears as he looked at Mo Chen with a sincere expression.
Mo Chen shook his head and said, "I've already taught you the art of gambling. Even if you wander the world someday, you'll have the skills to survive. I wonder if you've forgotten the principles of being a good person after all this time I've been gone." Mo Chen looked at Wu Wenfeng with a serious expression.
