Chapter 54 Just a Sister
There is no one around, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
Jiang Cha pushed Huo Jingchuan's hard chest.
He finally let her go.
Jiang Cha took two steps back and kept his distance from him.
The moment the night wind blew, all the throbbing that did not belong to the identity of a younger sister was suppressed by her under the darkness.
"Brother, you are a very good brother."
Jiang Cha finally looked into Huo Jingchuan's eyes bravely. She treasured all the kindness he had shown her in her heart.
Even she herself cannot destroy this beauty.
"You've seen what kind of person my brother is. It's you who made me redefine what a brother means to my sister. I'm not hiding from you. I just need time to adjust to a normal brother-sister relationship."
"Brother and sister?"
Huo Jingchuan suddenly laughed.
"So, that's what you think?"
He looked at her steadily, each word colder than the last.
It turns out that in her heart, he is no different from her other brothers!
Huo Jingchuan suddenly became deflated.
"Forget it, go home!"
Jiang Cha breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good to go home!
As long as I'm not alone with him, anything is fine.
When Jiang Cha arrived home, Ye Surong had already fallen asleep.
Huo Tingkun sat in the living room waiting for her.
He didn't ask too much about Jiang Cheng's whereabouts, but looked at Jiang Cha kindly: "Cha Cha, shall we talk?"
Jiang Cha nodded, "Okay."
The door of the study was open, and Jiang Cha was sitting opposite Huo Tingkun.
"As for Jiang Cheng staying here, your mother has her own difficulties."
"I know, Uncle Huo, he is also my mother's child. My mother is soft-hearted. She would rather suffer herself than let Jiang Cheng and I suffer."
If it weren't for them, my mother would never have married Jiang Guodong.
"It's good that you can understand. She knows that keeping Jiang Cheng has wronged you, but Cha Cha, sometimes, if you keep your enemy by your side, you may not be the one who gets upset."
Jiang Cha's eyes suddenly widened.
There was a smile on Huo Tingkun's lips, and his eyes were deep and unfathomable.
In front of Jiang Cha, he was like a gentle and kind uncle, but any little bit of scheming he inadvertently revealed was enough to benefit Jiang Cha a lot.
"I understand, Uncle Huo. I will make him regret staying here."
"This young man is teachable!"
Huo Tingkun patted Jiang Cha's shoulder and stood up. "Don't tell your mother about this. She knows what kind of person Jiang Cheng is. With me watching over him and your two brothers protecting him, Jiang Cheng won't be able to cause any trouble. Just have fun and leave the rest to us!"
As long as you don't kill anyone, it's not a big problem.
Jiang Cha's heavy mood suddenly eased, "Uncle Huo, actually, you are afraid of my mother, right?"
"Shh!"
Huo Tingkun lowered his voice and said, "Some things can only be understood, not expressed in words!"
That's not fear, that's respect for his lover.
Jiang Cha couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips, "Well, it's only understood, not expressed in words!"
Huo Jingchuan was so annoyed that he couldn't sleep. He took out two bottles of wine from the cabinet that were collected by Old Huo, and went to the home of Chief Ji who lived in Unit 701.
Chief Ji always had a regular schedule. It was pitch black everywhere, with only the light in Ji Zhixu's room still on.
Huo Jingchuan knocked on the window of his room. Ji Zhixu stuck his head out of the window and was not surprised to see Huo Jingchuan.
Ji Zhixu took two steps back skillfully, and Huo Jingchuan jumped directly onto the windowsill and went into Ji Zhixu's room. His movements were smooth, as if he had done this countless times.
Ji Zhixu realized that something was wrong.
"Brother, what's bothering you?"
He bent over, staring at the two large bottles of wine on the table, and took a breath.
"Are you sure you want to drink so much?"
Huo Jingchuan closed the window, took the wine, and sat on the bamboo bed in Ji Zhixu's room.
"Please bring some snacks!"
Huo Jingchuan took off his shoes like an old man and sat down cross-legged.
The bamboo bed creaked.
"Brother, it's the middle of the night and everyone in the family is asleep. Where can I get you some food and wine?"
"A few days ago, I saw your uncle bring a bag of peanuts grown in his own plot of land to your house."
Ji Zhixu: “…”
"I really owe you in my past life!"
Chief Ji is a light sleeper, and the older he gets, the worse his sleep quality becomes. Ji Zhixu went into his kitchen like a thief, tiptoeing for fear of disturbing his grandfather.
Huo Jingchuan waited for a long time before he came back.
Ji Zhixu was holding a bag of shelled peanuts and a plate of dried sweet potatoes that his uncle brought from home.
Huo Jingchuan skillfully retrieved two wine glasses from Ji Zhixu's room and placed them in the middle of the bamboo bed. He left the other side for Ji Zhixu.
Ji Zhixu closed the door with his backhand and got on the bamboo bed in his slippers.
Peanuts and dried sweet potatoes were placed in front of the wine bottle. The two of them faced each other, one cold, the other warm. The same beam of light fell on them, but it illuminated two different worlds.
"Tell me, what's going on this time?"
Huo Jingchuan picked up a dried sweet potato and put it in his mouth to chew, "Just let me be quiet for a while."
Ji Zhixu was almost choked by Huo Jingchuan's shamelessness.
"You're not sleeping in the middle of the night and you're coming to my house. You're already disturbing me. Do you understand?"
Huo Jingchuan still asked him to be quiet?
Isn’t this the reversal of Tiangang?
Huo Jingchuan poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
The spicy and stimulating taste burned all the way to the chest.
He waited for the force to subside before speaking as if he was prepared.
"Do you think Jiang Cha likes me?"
Ji Zhixu looked at him in disbelief, "Brother, are you crazy? She's your sister!"
"Half-sister, half-sister, is she still considered a sister?"
"Of course it counts!"
Ji Zhixu became excited, "Are you upset just because of her tonight?"
Huo Jingchuan was peeling peanuts. "I guess so. Every time she emphasizes to me that she's my sister, I get upset!"
Ji Zhixu poured him another glass of wine, "Are you serious?"
Huo Jingchuan looked at him coldly, "Do you think I'm here to play a joke on you by staying up late at night with two bottles of wine?"
Ji Zhixu covered his mouth with a zipper!
"I call you uncle, uncle, please continue!"
"Did I come to you just to listen to my complaints?"
Ji Zhixu: “…”
"No, brother, are you polite? Do you know how many people come to me for psychological counseling every day? It's already great that I have time to listen to you complain, okay?"
Ji Zhixu peeled the peanuts and put them into his mouth.
"Besides, how can I persuade you? Whether in other people's hearts, in the eyes of your family, or in the eyes of outsiders, you two are brother and sister now. Is there anything wrong with me wanting to be a good sister?"
Huo Jingchuan's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and it took him a long while to squeeze out a word.
"Did you not brush your teeth today?"
Ji Zhixu grabbed a handful of peanuts and threw them at Huo Jingchuan without any hesitation.
"You didn't brush your teeth!"
Can you speak?
There is no attitude of begging for help at all.
"In her eyes, Huo Jingye and I are the same, and even Jiang Chengdu is the same as me, right?"
"You and Huo Jingye are the same. Jiang Cheng is her biological brother, so he's definitely different from you guys."
If looks could kill, Ji Zhixu would have been chopped into pieces by Huo Jingchuan by now!
Ji Zhixu placed the peeled peanuts in front of Huo Jingchuan.
"That's the truth!"
It hurts even more because it is the truth.
Huo Jingchuan drank another gulp of wine.
"But I don't want her to be my sister."
He didn't realize this before, but when Chu Tianze appeared next to Jiang Cha, he suddenly realized it.
He couldn't even accept the fact that there was another person of the opposite sex around Jiang Cha. When he thought about her marrying another man and having children in the future, Huo Jingchuan felt like a mountain was pressing down on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
Ji Zhixu slipped on his shoes and rummaged through the desk, finally finding Jiang Cha's psychological summary report from a pile of lists.
He slapped the report in front of Huo Jingchuan.
"Don't blame me for not helping you, brother. This is Jiang Cha's psychological summary report. Take a look for yourself!"
Huo Jingchuan patted the peanut shells on his hands and opened the report.
Huo Jingchuan didn't understand any of the professional terms above.
"Jiang Cha is a girl with very strong psychological defenses. She's very insecure. A girl like her suddenly comes to a brand new family and tries hard to fit in with you. Do you know how much effort she has to put in?"
Huo Jingchuan had never thought about this problem. Ji Zhixu peeled a row of peanuts and placed them in a square array on the bamboo bed.
"Huo Jingchuan, I still say the same old thing. You have to be more patient and meticulous with her than you are with others. The prerequisite for falling in love is peace of mind. With your stubborn temper, if I were that girl, I wouldn't like you either."
"Take back your last words!"
"Okay, take it back!"
Ji Zhixu ate the soup mouthful by mouthful. "Get lost when you're done drinking. I have to go to work tomorrow!"
Huo Jingchuan drank another glass of wine and pondered over Ji Zhixu's words.
Peace of mind?
Can the brother-sister relationship make her feel at ease?
Huo Jingchuan curled his lips, and Ji Zhixu knew at a glance that Huo Jingchuan was up to no good.
"Are you going to leave or not? I really want to sleep!"
"Let's go, let's go now."
Huo Jingchuan's mood turned from gloomy to sunny.
He tightened the cap of the half-drunk bottle of liquor again, brought two bottles of liquor, and left with one and a half bottles. Ji Zhixu didn't drink a single sip of the empty half bottle, and instead gave it half a bag of peanuts and a plate of dried sweet potatoes.
No matter how you look at it, Ji Zhixu is losing money.
Huo Jingchuan lifted the window, patted his butt and left, and Ji Zhixu had to clean up the battlefield without complaint.
"I really owe you in my past life!"
He rambled on again.
Huo Jingchuan returned home feeling relaxed. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Jiang Cheng who had been left in the living room by Huo Jingye.
When I was returning to my room, I accidentally stepped on his feet twice.
"waste!"
