Chapter 42 Brainwashing My Brother

Gu Yunsu jumped back three meters as if he had seen a ghost.

"I'm fine!" she cried.

The reaction was so great that even Li Yan's poker face showed a hint of surprise.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that she had overreacted, touched her nose a little awkwardly, cleared her throat, and said, "I'm fine."

Li Yan nodded, returned to his room quickly and closed the door without showing any reluctance.

Gu Yunsu was left standing alone in the aisle, wondering if he had read too many romance novels and was being too self-indulgent.

But when she thought about the clues she had gotten earlier, she still felt uneasy.

What exactly does Li Yan mean?

Gu Yunsu thought about her boyfriend, her biological mother, and her stepfather. She didn't want to have a younger brother who would make her worry gray again.

Look at her recently, in just two days, her eyelids have drooped, if not tiredness, what else could it be!

How can a beautiful woman have any worries!

On the other hand, she also thought that many things go bad because of procrastination. You think you are just putting things off, but in fact you are setting things up for failure. As a procrastinator, she knows all too well that good things turn bad, and bad things turn into disasters. In short, nine times out of ten, things will end badly.

Moreover, when it comes to feelings, the deeper they are buried, the stronger they become. If Li Yan really has some indescribable little feelings for her, now is the most convenient time to strangle them in the cradle.

If she doesn't put out the flame now, when will she? If it burns again, it will spread all over the place! She would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go!

She encouraged herself in her heart, clenched her fists, and regardless of the time, she knocked on Li Yan's door again.

It was already 11:30 in the evening. Gu Yunsu had been thinking too much all day and night, and his thoughts were a little unclear.

It doesn't matter, I believe in my logic! she said in her heart.

Brain: No, you don’t.

Li Yan did not stop her from entering the house, but the two of them stared at each other for two minutes. Gu Yunsu rubbed her feet, her hands, and her lips, doing all the embarrassing things she could do, but she didn't say a single useful word.

Finally, Li Yan, who had been silent, stopped being silent and asked, "What do you want?"

"I..." Gu Yunsu said hesitantly, "You..."

The speech was not very successful.

Li Yan: …

Gu Yunsu looked at Li Yan's expression and thought to herself that she could even make Li Yan speechless, look at what she can do!

But although it was frustrating to not get a response from Li Yan in the past, it was not even one thousandth as frustrating as it was now when she had something to say but couldn't. Comrade Xiao Gu was a very straightforward person. She was so frightened, so torn, so hesitant, and so dithering. She was like a puffer fish that was being held back and was about to explode.

Comrade Xiao Gu is very distressed.

When people are pushed to a certain point, there are usually only two outcomes: either you die or I die.

Gu Yunsu chose to live.

So she didn't care and decided to leave the embarrassment to the other party.

She asked bluntly: "Do you like me?"

Li Yan: …

Li Yan's face was distorted to the most exaggerated degree he could achieve, and he slightly wrinkled his brows and pursed his lips.

Gu Yunsu never missed a moment's gaze, just staring at the other person, afraid of ignoring any slight change in the other person, but the result was still disappointing: How can you tell any attitude from this?

She added: "Yes it is, no it is not, give me the answer!"

It was as if she was begging him to like her. She was used to his bad habits.

Li Yan finally nodded.

You see, let's just say her guess was right.

But at this time, Gu Yunsu had already become indifferent because he had lost his patience. All things are difficult at the beginning, and once the window paper is broken, the psychological burden will be much less.

She looked at him and said, "I'm not asking about the kind of love between family members."

Li Yan lowered his head slightly: "I know."

What does it look like for a young person to like someone?

Gu Yunsu racked his brains, trying to recall his love story ten years ago.

In her memory, the boy who confessed to her also lowered his head like this, not daring to look at her, but his expression was much more obvious, his eyes blinked as if sand had entered his mouth, and his mouth was not working properly, and he suddenly stuttered. Gu Yunsu couldn't see his face at all, nor could she hear his mumbled words, but she could clearly understand what he meant because she could see his ears, which were red and seemed to curl up with shyness.

But this little brother looks so calm. He doesn't look like he's been hurt or is angry or embarrassed at all.

"Are you sure?" Gu Yunsu asked again.

Li Yan looked up at her: "What are you sure about? Are you sure that I like you, or are you sure that I know?"

If Gu Yunsu said that she didn't understand what the other person said at all, would it seem that she has a low IQ?

But she also didn't want to be distracted by the details.

She didn't know why, but when she looked at the other person's calm expression, she suddenly had a thought: "He is wrong!", and from this she had a hope: "I can still be saved!"

Li Yan is such a love-deprived child, and suddenly someone cares about him and cares about him, and the person is young, handsome, and intelligent. It is very likely that he will misunderstand his feelings!

Suddenly I was excited.

She asked, "How do you know you like me?"

Li Yan: "Do you need to know this?"

Gu Yunsu: "Don't you need it? There must be a moment when you suddenly realize that you like me, right?"

Li Yan tilted his head slightly and thought for a moment: "I don't know, maybe you bumped into me sometime."

Gu Yunsu's mind flashed back to the scene of her "fighting" with others, and she thought with deep regret, what a sin! There is always a loophole! A person who is usually so careful and cautious, but she is not on guard against her so-called family members, and now she is in trouble!

He even said in a gentle and persuasive way: "I bumped into you, and then what? What was your reaction that made you think you liked me?"

"My heart would beat fast... and I would feel embarrassed."

"What else?"

"I'm still looking forward to it."

Oh my god, this conversation is really wrong.

Gu Yunsu covered her forehead and quickly raised her hand, signaling the other party to stop elaborating. Although she was the one who asked the question, she really didn't want to hear the answer.

She changed the topic again and asked, "Have you ever had a girlfriend?"

Li Yan shook his head.

Then Gu Yunsu can rest assured.

She now had an idea, and was prepared to take advantage of the young man's lack of experience and make up a bunch of nonsense.

She said: "So it's normal that you can't tell the difference between liking and impulse."

Li Yan looked up at her curiously.

Gu Yunsu: "If you don't believe me, let's think about it again. Apart from the time I met you, when else did you feel that you liked me?"

Li Yan tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked back: "But if you realize that you like someone, won't you always like them? Will you still care about the specific time?"

The young man has a clear mind.

But Gu Yunsu is not afraid, Gu Yunsu is the king of logic.

She didn't pursue the question any further and asked another question: "Okay, then tell me, do you want to be with me? For a lifetime." Without waiting for the other party to answer, she added, "It's not like this now. If we were really together as a couple, we would quarrel, have the cold war, and scold each other one-sidedly. Have you ever seen me get really fierce? I'm ten times more fierce than I am to my mother. You don't fold your clothes properly, don't know how to wash the dishes, and don't take out the trash. I tolerate you because you are my brother, but if you were really my boyfriend, I wouldn't accept it and would definitely scold you every day."

Li Yan's face finally relaxed a little.

Gu Yunsu observed his expression and continued, "You want to play games in the house? Dream on! Cook for me and do housework. Except when I am busy, you can't have your own time and freedom. What are you doing? Who are you talking to? Where are you going? You have no privacy 24 hours a day."

Li Yan: …

Gu Yunsu: "And there is a high probability that your father and my mother will try their best to break you up, and you still have to fight hard and endure their constant scolding in your ears. Let's say there are still some good things, but are you willing to exchange the above for these? This is not a one-day or two-day thing. Just tell me, do you want to be tied to me like this for the rest of your life?"

Li Yan finally revealed a look of disgust.

This expression was almost the most vivid one that Gu Yunsu had ever seen on Li Yan's face since he met him, so much so that Gu Yunsu felt relieved but also very hurt at the same time.

That's too much. Why? Just thinking about spending your whole life with her doesn't mean you should be so disgusted with her, right?

But she still looked very open-minded and said in a worldly manner: "If you don't want to be with this person if there is a little difficulty, then you don't like him/her, it's just impulse."

Gu Yunsu's words were just nonsense, without any thought about right or wrong. She just wanted to brainwash her brother. It didn't matter whether the other party really liked her or was pretending to like her, as long as he thought he had misunderstood.

And looking at his reaction, his feelings...even if he really likes her, they are not very deep.

Gu Yunsu was extremely grateful that he did not delay the matter to the point where it was irreversible, and he even wanted to give himself a little red flower: Well done, Gu Yunsu!

But at the same time, she was provoked by herself as soon as she said this: What about her feelings towards Xu Wenbin? If she still wanted to be with him despite all the difficulties in the future, did that mean she just liked him too much? If she liked him to this extent, should she ignore all her self-imposed expectations and accept his proposal?

Adult emotions are so complicated.

In other words, once marriage and family are involved, everything seems to become complicated. For example, of all her recent troubles, which one is not related to "family"?

Personal ideals are simply not worth mentioning in the face of these issues.

This legendary safe haven should have brought people endless comfort, but when it was dilapidated and full of problems, the slightest disturbance would cause it to crumble. So it was broken down and rebuilt, and everyone compromised and endured hardships for its safety.

But we are still working so hard, why?

…

His thoughts quickly wandered off again, and when Gu Yunsu came to his senses, Li Yan had already composed himself and was ready to speak.

And I heard him say, "Well, I'm not sure."

Gu Yunsu once again won the brainwashing campaign.

At this point, there is no need to emphasize anything anymore. Cramming education will only make people lose the ability to think.

Look, with Gu Yunsu’s ability, she can rush to wherever there is a fire and solve the problem so easily.

She nodded, acting like an older sister: "When you have more experience, you won't make mistakes anymore."

Then she stood up and said goodbye: "Don't think too much, let's just forget about it!"

Li Yan nodded.

And Gu Yunsu thought that at least today, she could have a good sleep.
