Chapter 56: Brother: He is my brother and my husband 4 Chen Yan from 2...
Chen Yan has been raised by his grandparents since he was 2 years old. He rarely spends time with his father and has no impression of his mother.
He only knew that his parents were divorced and that he had no news of his mother since she went abroad. But he did not hate his mother at all. His mother and his father were not suitable, and she had the right to find her own happiness.
Now she has settled down and started her own life abroad. She has a father and a mother, and a lovely sister. He feels very satisfied.
Even more than anything else, having a sister like Wanwan is the happiest thing that has ever happened to him since he grew up.
Wanwan is a little sweetheart. She kisses his face and says "Good morning, brother" every morning. When he is unhappy, she secretly gives him the candies she has hidden. When his father scolds him, she stands in front of him and tells him not to scold his brother. They go to and from school together every night and sleep together at night. They have been together for 4 years and are closer than real siblings.
Once, Shen Yan made a mistake and Shen Yongxin beat him for the first time.
He knelt on the ground with his back straight, allowing Shen Yongxin to hit him on the back with a stick, without making a sound even though his back was burning with pain.
Qin Yiran couldn't intervene when her husband was disciplining his stepson, so she could only watch with a frown.
But Chi Wan didn't have this worry. She stood in front of her brother with her small body, and her big eyes were filled with tears.
"Don't hit my brother!"
Although Uncle Shen was very fierce and scary at this time, her brother was hurt so much by the beating, and she wanted to protect him.
"Stop making trouble Wanwan, come here quickly."
Qin Yiran tried to pull Chi Wan over, but Chi Wan twisted her body and turned around to hug her brother's neck tightly, pressing her soft face against his, saying non-stop:
"Don't hit my brother!"
No one had ever given Chen Yan such firm warmth, and a corner of his heart suddenly collapsed.
At that time, he thought that his sister was so small and fragile, and her body was trembling slightly when placed in front of him.
He has to take care of his sister for the rest of his life.
Four years passed in a flash, and Wanwan grew from a 5-year-old kid to an 8-year-old girl on her brother's shoulders.
Now she no longer sits on her brother's shoulders. Instead, she likes to jump onto his back when he is not paying attention. Chen Yan will smile and catch her steadily.
This year, Shen Yan was 16 years old. His once firm muscles had been consumed, and the skeleton of his shoulders gradually became more prominent. He had lost the boldness and vitality of his childhood, and became calm and cold. His skin also became whiter. Maybe it was because he loved playing basketball when he was a child, but now he is almost taller than Shen Yongxin.
This year, Chen Yan just entered the second year of high school, and Chi Wan also became a glorious elementary school student and red scarf Young Pioneer.
"Chen Yan! Let's go play ball together on Saturday?"
After school that day, Lu Zicheng was waiting for Shen Yan at the door of his classroom. They both lived in the same community and had been attending the same school since sixth grade, so they had a close relationship.
Shen Yan walked outside side by side with him, his expression indifferent: "No, it's my sister's birthday."
"Ah? It's sister Wanwan's birthday. It's more important to celebrate sister Wanwan's birthday."
Lu Zicheng nodded secretly and said, "I also want to prepare a birthday present for Wanwan. After all, Wanwan has called me brother for so long. Hey, what do little girls like..."
Lu Zicheng was a talkative person, and he could be heard chattering with Chen Yan all the way. Chen Yan would only reply occasionally, and Lu Zicheng was used to it and didn't think it was a big deal.
Chen Yan is just like this. He was quite lively when he was young, but he became more and more aloof as he grew up. This guy has a good appearance and many girls in school pursue him, but he just ignores none of them and always has a cold face. As a result, even if many girls like him later, they dare not confess their feelings to him.
But in front of Wanwan, he is a gentle, considerate and doting brother.
When the two of them reached the school gate, Shen Yan suddenly quickened his pace and blew away like a gust of wind, leaving him behind.
"elder brother!"
Chi Wan, carrying her schoolbag, waved excitedly at him, while Qin Yiran stood aside with a smile, watching her daughter run towards Shen Yan, who was wearing a school uniform.
Chen Yan half-knelt, caught the little girl, hugged Chi Wan tightly, and sighed with satisfaction. A smile instantly appeared on his cold face, and the sunlight softened his deep eyebrows and eyes.
Today is Friday. Middle school students came out of the school gate in groups of two or three, and their attention was attracted by Chen Yan and Chi Wan.
Chen Yan is a well-known aloof academic god in the school, and no one has ever seen such a gentle side of him.
"Is that Shen Yan's sister? She's so pretty and cute. Shen Yan's family has really good genes."
"You don't know, right? Chen Yan dotes on his sister. The brother and sister have a very good relationship. Chen Yan and I went to the same elementary school, and he has been picking up and dropping off his sister from school every day since elementary school."
"Godly brother and sister, why don't I have such a good brother..."
"The little sister is so cute, I really want to go say hello to her..."
Chen Yan had already picked up Chi Wan. Although he looked tall and thin, his arms were actually very strong. Chi Wan could even feel his brother's muscles.
Chen Yan smiled and tossed her a few times. The little girl hugged her brother's neck, turned her head and saw many people looking at them. She felt a little embarrassed and struggled to get down.
Chen Yan put her down, took her hand, and asked:
"Why are you here to pick up your brother from school today?"
No. 1 Middle School is quite far from Chi Wan's primary school, and it takes half an hour to walk there and back. Even so, he would rather take the bus home every day than live in the school dormitory.
Because today is Friday and tomorrow is a holiday, Qin Yiran brought Chi Wan to pick him up and go home together.
"I want to pick up my brother. He always picked me up before, but I have never picked him up before!"
Hearing this, Shen Yan rubbed her little head and said, "That night, Wan was thoughtful. Brother is very happy."
Chi Wan raised the corners of his mouth happily.
"Sister Wanwan, do you still remember me?"
Lu Zicheng came over with a smile and pinched Chi Wan's little face. He didn't use much force, but was still slapped away by Shen Yan, who gave him a cold look.
"Don't pinch my sister's face."
Lu Zicheng withdrew his hand awkwardly, muttered "stingy", turned around and grinned warmly at Chi Wan:
"Wanwan is so good. You even came to pick up your brother. Do you still remember my name?"
"Brother Zicheng."
After entering high school, Chen Yan's schedule became even more busy, and Chi Wan hadn't seen Lu Zicheng for a long time. The last time they met was when Chen Yan and Lu Zicheng were in the second grade of junior high school.
Lu Zicheng was very happy to hear that she still remembered him and said he would treat Wanwan to ice cream.
"Thank you, Brother Zicheng. I won't eat anymore. My mother is still waiting for me and my brother."
Only then did Lu Zicheng see Qin Yiran standing not far away, and greeted her with a smile: "Aunt Qin."
Qin Yiran smiled and nodded at him, saying, "Zicheng, why don't you come to our house for dinner today?"
"I won't go. I have something to do today. I'll definitely go next time!"
Qin Yiran stopped trying to persuade him. After saying goodbye to Lu Zicheng, the three of them got in the car and went home.
Lu Zicheng stood there and looked at the backs of the three people for a while, thinking that Aunt Qin was a pretty nice person.
At first he thought Wanwan was Chen Yan's biological sister, but when he grew up he found out that Chen Yan's parents were divorced, Aunt Qin was his stepmother, and Wanwan was his stepsister.
He was originally worried that Aunt Qin would treat his good brother badly, but after all these years, he found that Aunt Qin was really a good person, and Chen Yan also respected her very much.
Not to mention, Aunt Qin also brought Xiao Wanwan to Shen Yan. Others may not know, but Lu Zicheng knows how much Shen Yan cares about this sister.
*
In the past two years, Shen Yongxin's company has grown and developed, and it has become a well-known industry in the province. Now it is not as busy as usual, and the family sits together for dinner in the evening.
"Xiao Yan, how did you do on your latest exam?"
While eating, Shen Yongxin did not forget to care about his son's studies.
“Still number one.”
Shen Yan said lightly without even raising his head, and Shen Yongxin nodded with satisfaction.
He has always been strict with Shen Yan. As the son of Shen Yongxin, he must never bring shame to him.
And Shen Yan really never needed anyone to worry about him. He had excelled in everything since he was a child. However, his temperament was getting colder and colder, and he had nothing else to say to Shen Yongxin except these.
Qin Yiran felt both admiration and fondness for her stepson, but also a bit of fear.
Because when Shen Yan had no expression, he did look quite difficult to approach. Although Shen Yan was quite respectful to her, Qin Yiran always felt that there was a layer between them and they could never get along as familiarly as a real mother and son.
But after all, they are not biological mother and son, so this is good enough.
In this family, the only one who can enter his heart is Chi Wan.
"Xiao Yan is already very good. Studying is important, but you also have to take care of your health."
"Yes, my brother has always been number one since he was young. He's really amazing. He's lost weight recently and needs to eat more meat."
Chi Wan picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in Shen Yan's bowl. Shen Yan looked up and saw the little girl looking at him with concern, and his heart warmed.
Shen Yongxin also laughed: "Wanwan still feels sorry for your brother. Oh, right, didn't Wanwan go to learn classical dance recently? How is it going?"
Qin Yiran continued, "She's only been learning for a month. When she first started, she kept complaining about the pain. But then I told her she didn't have to go if she didn't want to practice anymore, and she refused again."
Chi Wan blushed and said embarrassedly, "Mom! I don't complain about being tired every day. I only said it twice!"
When Chi Wan first started learning the basic skills and stretching her ligaments, she felt pain, but later she also discovered the joy of dancing.
Moreover, my brother also said that she dances very beautifully.
"Hahaha, fine, you only said it twice, and you're still embarrassed."
"I'm not embarrassed at all! I won't tell you anymore!"
Shen Yongxin and Qin Yiran teased Chi Wan, and Chen Yan also listened with a frown and a smile. The atmosphere at the table was warm and harmonious.
After dinner, Chi Wan did her homework in Shen Yan's bedroom. She lay on Shen Yan's desk, biting the tip of her pen, wrinkling her nose from time to time, and supporting her chin in a daze from time to time.
Chen Yan sat opposite her, with his eyes downcast and head lowered, concentrating on marking on the paper, and soon finished a paper.
He looked up and saw Chi Wan was in a daze again. He smiled, put the test paper away, walked to her side, and lowered his head to look at her homework.
"Why not?"
A cool voice sounded in his ears. Chi Wan turned his head and bumped into his brother's cold and dark pupils. Chi Wan pursed his lips embarrassedly, with a look of shame on his face as if he had been caught in a daze by his brother.
Chen Yan gently pinched her nose: "You're distracted again."
Then he lowered his head and explained the math problem to her. Chen Yan's voice was usually clear and cold, but this time when he was explaining the problem, it seemed to contain a hint of gentleness.
"Do you understand?"
"I understand, brother. You smell so good."
Chi Wan suddenly spoke up and even leaned over to smell his shoulder.
