Chapter 271 Brother

Xavier's eardrums swelled due to the piercing sound of brakes, and he frowned and looked at the silver Rafa parked in front of him.

I thought: He's probably a dissolute rich young man looking for excitement, maybe even a drunk. It would be better for him to leave quickly.

He tried his best to reduce his presence and planned to sneak into the welfare home through the side door.

"classmate?"

Xavier paused, as he seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before. He turned around and looked at the person who came with some confusion. It turned out to be an acquaintance.

He hurried out from the side door and asked in surprise, "Mr. Ye, why are you here?"

Ye Lin didn't expect to run into this classmate again. Surprise flashed across his eyes. "I'm here to look for someone. Do you live here?"

Xavier nodded, and asked with some hesitation and uncertainty: "Yes, Mr. Ye, are you here to look for someone in our welfare home?" This Mr. Ye didn't look like someone who would have anything to do with the poor and destitute welfare home.

This classmate turned out to be an orphan.

Unintentionally discovering someone else's sad story, Ye Lin was stunned: "Sorry, I didn't know you...", he didn't know how to continue the rest of the sentence.

In his previous life, Ye Lin was also an orphan. No matter how much comfort others gave him, it was just a drop in the bucket and was of no use at all.

Fortunately, Xavier was already used to this kind of life. He shrugged and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. You have nothing to be sorry about. By the way, who are you looking for? I'll go in and call them for you."

Xavier spoke lightly, but a hint of loneliness was revealed in his eyes.

No one ever came to see him,

Ye Lin had used up all the gas tank overnight, and now he was just one step away from success, but he was a little scared.

I was afraid that the child was not living well, that he was being wronged, that he was not having enough to eat, and that he would blame me for coming too late.

His throat rolled twice, and Ye Lin's hands hanging at his side tightened a little bit, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and after trying many times, he finally made a sound again.

His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of blowing something away, and there was a hint of caution in his voice: "Classmate, do you know Xavier?"

Ye Lin spoke very carefully, but a thunderclap exploded in Xavier's mind.

This Mr. Ye actually came to see me? How is that possible!

Xavier's eyes widened suddenly, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, his lips slightly stretched, but he could not utter a single sound: "I..."

Ye Lin held his breath and waited for a long time, but the classmate didn't reply. Instead, he looked frightened.

She waved her hand in front of his eyes and said, "Classmate? You don't know Xavier? Is your dean here?"

"I know him..." Xavier said in a stiff voice.

Ye Lin's face lit up with joy.

Xavier encouraged himself in his heart and straightened his back quietly: "I am Xavier."

After saying this, Xavier looked at Ye Lin uneasily, worried that the other party would show disappointment. He was so ordinary, how could he be the person Mr. Ye was looking for.

The smile on Ye Lin's face gradually disappeared, and he stood there as if frozen, not saying a word, staring at Xavier in a daze.

Blonde hair and blue eyes, she looks exactly like Aunt Rebecca.

After a moment, he recovered from his shock, opened his mouth, and said in a trembling and hoarse voice: "You...you are...Xavier."

It's not a question, it's an affirmative sentence.

At this moment, Ye Lin had already confirmed in his heart that he was the brother he was looking for.

From the first attraction at the snack bar, to the heartache of getting coffee all over himself in the stairwell the second time, to the worry when they parted, all his inexplicable emotions found answers when he faced this classmate, because they were connected by blood.

Seeing that Ye Lin's face didn't show any joy, but rather an unpleasant look, Xavier thought that Mr. Ye had recognized the wrong person. He lowered his head and said disappointedly: "Well, I am. Sorry, I think you must have recognized the wrong person."

"No! That's right! Not wrong." Ye Lin grabbed Xavier's shoulders fiercely, his dark blue eyes staring at the sapphire blue eyes opposite him.

"Mr. Ye, please calm down. Let's talk slowly."

Xavier was frightened by Mr. Ye's sudden abnormal behavior. He wanted to reach out and push him away, but he forgot that he still had a pile of shopping bags in his hand. He raised his hand but failed.

Hearing the sound of paper bags colliding, Ye Lin came back to his senses and looked down to see Xavier's hands being weighed down by the shopping bags.

His pupils shrank suddenly, and Ye Lin hurriedly pulled the shopping bags in his hand down as if throwing away garbage: "These are too heavy, put them down quickly, put them down, how can you carry such heavy things, throw them all away."

Xavier tried to stop Mr. Ye, who was not normal: "Hey, Mr. Ye, what are you doing? These are the things you bought. They are very expensive. You can't throw them on the ground."

Ye Lin only had his hand, red from being squeezed by the shopping bag, in his eyes: "Hurry up and throw it aside. Your hand is swollen. I'll buy you a new one."

In less than five seconds, Ye Lin had stripped all the bags in Xavier's hands and arms clean, and a bunch of luxury goods were thrown to the ground in disdain.

Xavier couldn't understand where things were going. Mr. Ye was obviously not normal tonight.

When throwing the shopping bag, Ye Lin accidentally touched Xavier's palm, and the touch of his hand made him frown.

Carefully pulling up one of Xavier's hands, Ye Lin carefully examined his hands under the dim street light.

Unlike Ye Lin's transparent and white hands, Xavier's palms were dry and worn, with several scars on his fingers and many old calluses on his palms.

"Your hand...how could it be like this? How could it be like this..."

Gently stroking these thick calluses that required who knows how much hard work to be worn out, Ye Lin could no longer control the tears in his eyes. A drop of hot tear silently fell between their clasped palms.

Xavier didn't think there was anything wrong with his hand. All the children in the welfare home were like this. They had to do all the work by themselves, so they had thicker hands so they wouldn't feel any pain. "Mr. Ye, are you okay? There's nothing wrong with my hand. It's more convenient to work like this. What's wrong with you?"

"Xavier! Actually, I... I am, I..." Ye Lin felt as if a huge rock was pressing down on his heart, so heavy that he couldn't breathe. He didn't have the face to say the last few words.

Over the past decade or so, their family has lived in the castle with laughter and joy, surrounded by servants, and enjoying the utmost luxury every day.

But what about Xavier, what kind of life was he leading, his hands were rougher than those of the servants at home.

No one in their family even knew about Xavier's existence.

They didn't even have the nerve to come to Xavier.

Ye Lin felt extremely bitter in his heart. He tried to stretch out his arms to protect Xavier, who was confused, and apologized to him in an incoherent and hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry, Xavier... We're sorry for you. I'm sorry we found you only now. I'm late..."

Xavier's heart trembled violently, and an impossible thought broke through the shackles and appeared in his mind. He spoke nervously,

"Mr. Ye, who are you?"

Ye Lin hugged him tightly.

"I'm...your brother. I'm sorry I'm late."

Xavier pushed Ye Lin away violently. The word "family" was too unfamiliar to him, so unfamiliar that he was a little scared.

He staggered back, a look of disbelief on his face, shaking his head in denial: "No! Impossible, you're not. I'm an orphan. I have no family. They abandoned me a long time ago!"

Seeing Xavier's panic-stricken look, Ye Lin felt as if a handful of grass was stuffed into his heart, and he wanted to eat Louis alive.

He walked towards Xavier tentatively: "Xavier, I really am your brother. You are not an orphan, never have been. Please listen to me explain it to you, okay?"

Xavier pointed at Ye Lin's feet: "Don't move! Don't come over, just stand there."

"Okay, I won't move," Ye Lin stopped two meters away from him, signaling Xavier not to get excited.

Seeing Ye Lin stopped moving, Xavier breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Ye Lin with a complicated look.

Over the years, he thought about many reasons why his family abandoned him: illness, poverty, burden, war, death,

They abandoned themselves because they had no choice.

But the family he imagined never had Ye Lin's type.

After just a few encounters, he could confirm that Mr. Ye was a wealthy man who lived a happy life and had no idea what hardship was.

Then why do you abandon yourself? Why don’t you want him?
