The Yangchun noodles were steaming hot, and Cheng Ying ate them so quickly that she almost choked.
Yu Jiao poured him a cup of tea: "Brother, eat slowly."
Cheng Ying didn't drink the tea, but drank up the soup. After wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, he looked at Yu Jiao, who hadn't touched her chopsticks, and said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
Yu Jiao forced a smile. It turned out that he had seen that she came to deliver food because she had something to say.
After all these years, she may not know her senior brother very well, but her senior brother still knows her.
She took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "Brother, I have been in Xianyang for a while. I should go back now."
After Yu Jiao finished speaking, she observed the expression on Cheng Ying's face, but couldn't see anything.
"Where are you going back to?" Cheng Ying threw the used handkerchief on the table and asked in a light tone.
Yu Jiao said bluntly: "Brother, I don't want to go to Jiaxing, I want to go back to Beijing."
He would be unhappy if Yu Qizhe was mentioned. Yu Jiao no longer emphasized that she was already married. She liked Yu Qizhe's words and she wanted to express her thoughts clearly.
Cheng Ying curled the corners of her lips, as if she wanted to laugh at herself, but she couldn't.
He looked at Yu Jiao, her eyes were filled with red bloodshot from staying up late, as if she had been crying, but he said firmly: "It's impossible for you to go back to the capital."
"Brother, I have always regarded you as my elder brother, my only relative in this world after Grandpa passed away. I cannot respond to your other emotions." Yu Jiao restrained her emotions and kept herself calm. "Over the years, not only have you changed, but I have changed too. Brother, you may not like me now, but maybe you are just nostalgic for the memories and the us in the past."
Cheng Yingwen's tone was sharp and mocking: "Don't use your thoughts to speculate me. This is just an excuse for you to justify yourself and convince me. Jiaojiao, I won't change my mind. No matter what you think, I won't let you leave my side."
Yu Jiao looked at him with some sadness. She understood that various reasons had shaped her senior's current personality, but she was still a little angry at his attitude of refusing to communicate.
"Do we have to go to the end of the road?" Yu Jiao said helplessly, "Brother, I will never be able to repay you for what I owe you. I don't want to say anything to make you sad, but you are insisting on having your own way now, against my will, trapping me by your side. Have you ever thought about how unhappy I would be? Relationships must always be based on mutual consent."
"It took us so much effort to recognize each other. I've already lost you once, Senior Brother, I don't want to lose you again." Yu Jiao's eyes were red as she advised, "Wouldn't it be better for us to be just senior brothers and sisters like before? I just want to live an ordinary and smooth life, simple and easy, and don't want to experience any more twists and turns."
Cheng Ying looked at her with a cold expression: "Yangchun noodles are delicious, don't say these things."
Yu Jiao knew that this didn't make sense, so she sighed helplessly, stood up, packed up the dishes and put them into the lunch box, then walked out carrying the lunch box.
After she left, Cheng Ying sat there in silence for a long time, with the air pressure around her extremely low. Suddenly, she raised her hand and swept the teacup on the table to the ground.
One-sided wishful thinking? What a ruthless and cold word. How could he be inferior to Yu Qizhe? In the end, he could only say one-sided wishful thinking.
Why did his love make her avoid him like this?
It is said that love always brings a sense of indebtedness. Since she keeps saying that she owes him, why doesn't she love him?
Cheng Ying raised his hands to cover his face, his cold white fingers covering his face, and he showed a dejection he had never had before.
After a long while, he called the servants in to pick up the debris on the ground, turned his back and ordered, "Go and boil another dose of medicine and bring it over."
