Chapter 26 The True Colors of My Brother



Chapter 26 The True Colors of My Brother

The story is simple.

The male student with a broken bone had some conflicts with Li Yan. The two met in a narrow corridor. The other provoked Li Yan and pushed each other a few times. During one of the rounds, Li Yan dodged and the other rolled down the stairs out of inertia.

"Did he provoke you first?" Gu Yunsu asked.

Li Yan nodded.

"He was the first to do it, wasn't he?"

Li Yan nodded again.

"Then why are you asking us to pay for the medical expenses?" Gu Yunsu turned to Li Jianxiong speechlessly, very angry, "His own son failed to gain anything by stealing chickens, so he deserves it."

Now it was Li Jianxiong's turn to remain silent.

Wu Limei made a "tsk" sound, disliking Gu Yunsu's impolite words.

Gu Yunsu knew what her mother meant, but she was too lazy to pay attention and just rolled her eyes.

Her mother raised her to be a lady, so... that's fine, she has good temperament, there's nothing wrong with that; but Wu Limei would also dislike her for being "unable to let go" in public, poor at socializing, and indecisive in doing things.

She wanted to tell him again and again the old scientific truth: you can't have your cake and eat it too.

If you want her to be quiet, reserved and sensible, don't expect her to also meet your requirements for a lively, brave and reckless personality. This is inherently contradictory. How can they all appear in the same person?

Li Jianxiong announced the adjournment of the meeting and Li Yan was the first to leave.

Gu Yunsu followed behind, a little tiptoeing. Although she seemed to be righteous and shouting louder than anyone just now, once it came to school and teachers, she seemed to have returned to her childhood in her dreams and turned into the poor little girl who didn't dare to face her parents after getting into trouble at school.

Wu Limei called out from behind: "Susu, wait a moment."

Snap, this is Gu Yunsu's mentality broken.

After finishing the meal, she scared herself and thought with a gloomy face, why is she always the one who gets hurt?

Wu Limei deliberately stammered some nonsense: "Come, sit down, nothing to do, just a casual chat."

After hearing the sound of Li Yan closing the door, she looked at Li Jianxiong and gave the right to speak to her husband.

Li Jianxiong sighed and said, "Su Su..."

Gu Yunsu lowered his head and pretended to be obedient: "Hmm..."

Li Jianxiong: "You have worked hard."

Gu Yunsu: “Ah?”

What kind of advanced rhetoric is this, of first promoting and then suppressing, and of retreating in order to advance?

Without Li Jianxiong saying anything, Gu Yunsu knew what the couple were thinking. They must be unhappy because she had kept it a secret from them that they were helping Li Yan meet the teacher. They must be blaming her for meddling in other people's business and making things worse.

So what can't be said directly?

To say that she works hard is simply ironic.

Gu Yunsu is such a straightforward person that he cannot stand people beating around the bush, and he is not going to deal with such roundabout words. He can only sit there stupidly and wait for the other party to respond.

Li Jianxiong then began to play the emotional card: "Really, I am very grateful for everything you have considered and done for this family."

What on earth are you going to talk about?

Li Jianxiong's attitude confused Gu Yunsu. For a moment, she even thought that Qin Yuxuan was not willing to give in after being toyed with, so he called Wu Limei to retaliate - she also had reason to believe that this would really happen because the other party had her mother's phone number.

But she exchanged glances with Wu Limei, and her indifferent attitude of "I understand you, but this matter has nothing to do with me" made her feel that the matter was not that complicated, and it was just related to inviting the parents.

She said nothing and just watched the situation develop.

After laying the groundwork for so much, Li Jianxiong finally got to the point and said, "Teacher Zhang told us that you went to talk to her two days ago."

"So why didn't you tell us?" Wu Limei interjected, "Yanyan asked you to go because she definitely didn't want us to know. We understand, but as her sister -"

"Should we just agree to him and not tell on him again?" Gu Yunsu interrupted her mother.

"Of course that's not what I meant. I meant ..."

"That's what you mean."

Wu Limei wanted to argue, but Li Jianxiong patted her hands gently, comforted her, and signaled her to stay calm.

It is at this time...

Gu Yunsu watched the interaction between the two and sighed in her heart, thinking that it was at times like this that she really wanted to have a relationship and have someone to rely on.

Li Jianxiong added, "So I really thank you. You know Yanyan's personality. He is not someone who will easily tell others what is in his heart. But he will take the initiative to ask you for help. He must trust you very much. He even said," he looked at her with respect, "in his heart, you may be more reliable than any of us."

Gu Yunsu couldn't tell for a moment whether the other party's words were mixed with jealousy.

She quickly distanced herself from the matter and expressed her loyalty: "Not really... maybe I just don't want to worry you guys."

"No," Li Jianxiong shook his head. "Even though he didn't say it, he knew it in his heart. He must have believed you because he thought you were reliable, and you didn't let him down."

Wow……

When Gu Yunsu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. You are amazing, Old Li, for making such a trivial matter like this sound so glorious, honorable, serious and dignified.

Li Jianxiong: "I can understand that. In his mind, you are from the same camp. You may not be of similar age, but at least you are closer to him than us..."

Gu Yunsu: Thank you, I am offended.

Li Jianxiong: "So, I sincerely thank you for taking such good care of Yanyan and sharing our worries."

Li Jianxiong: "So, I also want you to continue to help and take more care of him. His mother and I have been separated since he was a child, and he didn't get much maternal love."

Gu Yunsu: But wait a minute...is this what you should get from me?

She even raised her confused eyes and looked at Wu Limei: Isn't this your mission?

Li Jianxiong continued, "Look, like today's incident, we couldn't get him to talk no matter what we did. In the end, he still had to tell you when you asked him. But we don't know why that boy provoked him and slandered him, or whether there were other people who bullied him. Other things are not important, but I know that bullying among children can reach a very serious level nowadays..."

Li Jianxiong became serious and his worry was evident in his words.

Gu Yunsu had made such a guess before, and considering Li Yan's personality, he was not surprised by Li Jianxiong's concern.

But at this moment she couldn't help but be distracted by thinking: Raising a child is really the hardest job, she really doesn't want to raise a child. She secretly glanced at Wu Limei's belly again, and for a moment she felt as if a thousand pounds weighed on her head. She didn't want to do either the escape plan or the birth-compensation plan.

Gu Yunsu took the initiative to take on a job as a detective.

Although she is an unemployed vagrant who is not only trying to make money but also engaging in cosplay, which is really not a proper job. But this is just like reviewing before an exam. When you feel particularly stressed about the exam, everything unrelated to the exam will become particularly interesting. Even a piece of draft paper can be folded into a beautiful thousand paper cranes.

Gu Yunsu did not hesitate and launched the investigation with absolute enthusiasm.

The person involved, Li Yanxiang, of course rejected all her questions.

But it doesn't matter, she can check it herself.

Gu Yunsu carried Li Yan on his back and went to school again.

She actually had no idea how to do it, but she thought that asking more questions would eventually lead to some gains.

As luck would have it, Li Yan's friend bumped into him.

She had seen that boy before. He was the one who walked out of the school gate side by side with Li Yan the last time she came to school. His name was Song Linyuan. Gu Yunsu assumed that what he said was credible.

Gu Yunsu was wearing a mask last time, and Song Linyuan didn't recognize her at first. When he heard her mention Li Yan, he looked at her a little confused: "You are..." Then he seemed to remember something and suddenly realized, "You are Li Yan's girlfriend!"

Gu Yunsu: ???

Song Linyuan: "Right, it was you who came to school last time, right? His girlfriend who is currently studying at university!"

Gu Yunsu: ???

There are so many complaints that I don’t know where to start.

But in the end she couldn't help laughing and asked, "Do I look like a college student?"

Song Linyuan was stunned: "This..." He looked at her for two seconds, "No, I don't know..."

I don’t know what the hell it is!

Gu Yunsu glanced at him rather resentfully, not ready to delve into this topic with the kid any further, so he changed the subject and asked, "Li Yan said that, is that his girlfriend?"

The other nodded: "So you're not?"

Gu Yunsu: "I am his sister."

"Then...he..."

Gu Yunsu could probably guess what was going on. No matter what the reason was, Li Yan asked her to stroll around the school gate last time, probably to show his classmates that he had a girlfriend.

The reasons were easy to guess. At the very least, it was vanity. At the worst, she irresponsibly guessed that he was trying to hide his sexual orientation. If it was the latter, it would be more troublesome, but no matter what Wu Limei and Li Jianxiong thought, she could at least express her support.

Gu Yunsu started to lie: "He has a girlfriend, but it's not me." Then he cleverly said, "But the girl liked him too much, which affected his studies a little, so our family put a stop to the relationship and forced them to break up."

"Break up?"

"At least let's separate for a while before the college entrance examination," Gu Yunsu said, speaking as if it were true, and even pretended to instruct him, "If you see her again and come to see my brother, please tell me."

Song Linyuan nodded blankly.

Gu Yunsu praised herself in her heart, thinking that it was okay for her to cover up the lie for Li Yan, but she did it so perfectly, she was really loyal.

She added: "Actually, I came here to ask about him and Wang Peng."

Wang Peng is the male student who had a broken bone.

As a result, when Song Linyuan heard this, he lowered his head in shame.

"Actually it's all my fault..." he said, "I had a conflict with Wang Peng."

The case is simple, it's a murder case, oh no, a love injury case.

Song Linyuan and Wang Peng like the same girl. Wang Peng had already started to pursue her, but Song Linyuan showed up halfway and tried to be her boyfriend, which won the girl's favor. Wang Peng was unhappy and always made trouble for Song Linyuan. Li Yan, who was close to the latter, couldn't stand it and tried to stop them several times. In the end, the two of them started to fight.

So, not only is there nothing to worry about Li Yan, but he is also chivalrous and courageous, which is quite admirable.

Gu Yunsu was a little surprised, but not that surprised. Maybe Li Yan was just one of the quieter teenage boys among thousands of them. The so-called weirdness might just be a protective color to hide his true colors.

Just like every one of us.
