Chapter 11 He Doesn't Like Him

I treat you as my boyfriend, but you treat me as your father?

For a moment, Yin Jiu felt that Ning Changyue was joking with him, because if it was not a joke, it would be too unbelievable and he really couldn't accept it.

Yin Jiu began to make excuses for him, maybe he was angry that he had not formally confirmed the relationship with him.

What dad? It was just a joke.

A sponsor is still a father. Maybe he is making fun of himself for not being in the right position?

But the more he consoled himself, the clearer Yin Jiu's thoughts became.

Is it possible that Ning Changyue has really never considered love?

It can't be that he looks like his long-lost family member and that's why he wants to go home with him.

This conjecture is even more absurd.

But...is it really just a lie?

He didn't speak for a long time, and Ning Changyue began to panic. He didn't know what he said wrong. Yin Jiu...didn't he always say things like this before, "Brother likes you the most" and "Baby, Dad loves you".

Ning Changyue forgot a lot of things, but he remembered these two sentences very clearly, because he relied on these two sentences to support himself for a long time.

Her eyes began to feel sore, but Ning Changyue tried very hard to hold back her tears.

He grabbed Yin Jiu's sleeve and said in panic: "Yin Jiu..."

Yin Jiu came back to his senses, raised his hand, and finally gently placed it on his back, patting him twice, his tone was calm after extreme restraint: "Be good, go to sleep first, we will talk about it tomorrow. Don't think about it now, I won't have a girlfriend."

Let me think about it carefully first, he said to himself.

The stiff body slowly relaxed, Ning Changyue snuggled into Yin Jiu's arms, resting her head on his arms, hugging him with her hands and feet, but still insisting on a promise, "No matter what I did wrong, you won't chase me away, right?"

It was rare for him to speak such a long sentence, and he spoke very quickly, as if he had rehearsed it in his mind countless times in advance.

"I won't chase you away. Go to sleep." Yin Jiu responded gently and urged him to sleep again.

After receiving the affirmative promise, Ning Changyue closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.

He didn't seem to have thought about whether Yin Jiu would lie to him.

Yin Jiu asked him to believe in himself, and he believed it.

Yin Jiu said that he would not chase him away, and he really believed it.

It’s hard to say what my mood is at this moment. Between pushing away and hugging, Yin Jiu chose to hug.

But this does not mean that his emotions have really calmed down. Not only did his emotions not calm down, but they tended to get worse.

He wanted to get angry, wanted to interrogate Ning Changyue, wanted him to explain all his thoughts clearly.

But Yin Jiu didn't do so, because he knew that he was irrational now. Since he was irrational, he shouldn't make any decision. He was afraid that he would not be able to restrain himself from saying words that would hurt Ning Changyue, and that he would do something impulsive that could not be undone.

So, think again.

The person in his arms fell asleep carefree, but Yin Jiu couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

I don’t know how much time passed, Yin Jiu gave an order in his heart: System, open the visual template of love.

【Love visual template is turned on. 】

What echoed in my mind was not the somewhat detached boyish voice of System 028, but an old-fashioned male electronic synthesized voice.

This is the first time that Yin Jiu opened this template after binding Ning Changyue.

Because he used to think that there was no need to watch, like or not, love or not, he could feel it with his own heart instead of relying on cheating to pry into Ning Changyue's heart.

But tonight, Yin Jiu really wanted an answer.

But when the green heart representing Ning Changyue appeared, all the dust settled down and Yin Jiu's heart was empty.

The pink heart representing himself, which was already filled up by one-third, seemed a little ridiculous at this moment.

Like a dying struggle, Yin Jiu asked the system: System, what does the green emotion represent?

【Green represents vitality and hope, and is...】

"Shut up." Yin Jiu interrupted.

At this moment, he even wanted to laugh.

Isn't it funny? He always thought Ning Changyue fell in love with him at first sight, but no matter what emotion it is, it can't be love.

There was no need to deceive himself, and there was no need to bother looking for excuses. Ning Changyue...he really didn't like him, nor did he love him.

…

The next day was Saturday.

Because she went to bed too late, Ning Changyue slept very deeply this time.

When he got up, Yin Jiu was no longer in bed. The house was very quiet and no sound could be heard.

Ning Changyue walked barefoot down to the ground, silently left the bedroom, and found Yin Jiu in the study.

He was standing in front of the window holding a mug, drinking coffee with his head down. Ning Changyue didn't make a sound, but he turned around sharply, smiled gently, and said, "Are you up? Go brush your teeth and have breakfast, and put on your shoes."

The tone was the same as usual.

Ning Changyue wanted to go over and get closer to him, but Yin Jiu had already walked towards him, and then walked past him without stopping.

The hand he stretched out only hooked a piece of clothes, and Ning Changyue felt a little disappointed.

He followed and saw that Yin Jiu had already entered the kitchen and was getting a bowl of porridge.

Seeing Ning Changyue following him again, Yin Jiu frowned and said in a serious tone, "If you walk barefoot again, don't blame me for hitting your soles later."

It was his usual tone, like one used to threaten a child, but it actually had no killing power. Ning Changyue was not afraid at all, but he still went out obediently. Passing by the dining table, he glanced at the mug that Yin Jiu had placed there, picked it up and smelled it, then took a small sip. The bitter strong coffee made him frown.

When Ning Changyue finished washing up and returned to the restaurant, Yin Jiu had already prepared breakfast on the table.

I ate too many irritating foods yesterday, so today's breakfast is light, white porridge with olives, pickles, and a plate of fried luncheon meat.

It's quite rich for a family breakfast.

There was only a bowl of porridge on the table. Ning Changyue looked sideways at Yin Jiu and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?"

Yin Jiu held the mug with his fingers empty and said, "I've eaten."

Ning Changyue didn't say anything else and ate his breakfast obediently. It wasn't the taste he liked, but as long as Yin Jiu asked him to eat it, he would usually finish it.

Seeing that he had finished eating, Yin Jiu asked, "Would you like another bowl?"

Ning Changyue shook her head.

Without clearing the empty dishes on the table, Yin Jiu picked up the coffee and took another sip. Then he pushed the cup away, put one hand on the table, looked at him sideways, and said slowly: "I told you yesterday that we would have a good talk after we get up. Remember?"

Ning Changyue thought about it and it seemed to be true, so she nodded and said, "I remember."

There was a bit of doubt in his eyes, because in his opinion, wasn't the whole story already said?

Yin Jiuping said bluntly: "Since you remember, I will say it directly, Ning Changyue, I am not your brother, and even less your parent."

"I don't know why you keep trying to attract my attention, but I want to say that no one would bring another person home casually."

"It doesn't exist. Just because I like someone, I can't treat them as my family. At least I don't."

"Think carefully about how our relationship should be defined. I hope that as an adult, you have mature thinking and judgment abilities."

He spoke slowly and calmly, explaining things objectively.

Ning Changyue stared at him with a confused look on his face.

He didn't respond for a long time. Yin Jiu reached out and snapped his finger in his ear, saying, "Do you understand? What did I say that wasn't clear enough?"

Ning Changyue then said slowly: "People can't, because you like to bring someone home?"

Yin Jiu thought his choice of words was a little strange, but he still answered patiently: "Of course, but we can only be lovers."
