Chapter 5: The Infatuated Sister vs. the Vengeful Brother (5)
Bai’s mother always felt that the atmosphere between the two children at the dinner table tonight was a little off, but she couldn’t tell what was wrong. When her daughter came back, her eyes were red. She wanted to ask something, but Shi Yi refused because he had too much homework.
Ning’s father, on the other hand, saw his son actively picking up food for Shi Yi at the dinner table, cared about him, and comforted him.
He and Shi Yi’s mother met at a dinner party. They had a great conversation and hit it off. Seeing that they were both living with a child, they felt pity and appreciation for each other. At that time, he had already divorced Ning Chenyu’s mother. Ning Chenyu’s biological mother agreed to separate, but on the condition that he would not tell Ning Chenyu about their divorce. Therefore, his marriage with Shi Yi’s mother attracted Ning Chenyu’s opposition. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to explain to his son properly, but he was too busy at work and it was not appropriate to talk about such things at home, so he kept delaying. But judging from his performance these days, his son has indeed grown up and knows how to take care of his sister.
Of course, he could understand Bai's mother's worries, but the children were gradually growing up, and the older generation should not interfere too much, so he pulled her back to the room. Shi
Yi finished his homework and was about to go to bed when there was a knock on the door. Standing outside the door was a boy who had just finished washing up.
"Brother?" Shi Yi was a little surprised.
"Shh," the boy gently put his index finger on his lips.
"Aren't you going to sleep yet?" Shi Yi asked in a low voice.
"Are you still scared?" Ning Chenyu looked at her who was trying to be strong, full of worry.
Because he was afraid that his family would worry, he repaired the bicycle when he and her went home. But the girl in front of him was only fourteen years old.
When she encountered such a thing, she couldn't tell her closest mother, which was the most vulnerable time. "I'm not afraid when my brother is here." Shi Yi timidly pulled his arm, but smiled sweetly.
Obviously she was afraid in her heart, but she comforted others with a bright smile. Such a girl would be very distressing.
Sure enough, Ning Chenyu touched her head more carefully, called her name softly and said, "Brother will always be by Shiyi's side in the future."
"Brother, go back quickly, it will be bad if mom and dad come out and see you." Shiyi gently pushed his arm.
She wanted to be with him, but they were too young now. If this tendency was discovered, they would definitely be "separated by their parents". Moreover, she was not sure enough that the boy in front of her would fall in love with her in the future. She couldn't afford the gamble.
"Shiyi urged brother to leave." Ning Chenyu deliberately made a sad expression, but in his heart he was more worried that she would cry alone in the room after he left.
"Brother, mom and dad will say something about us if they see us." Shiyi still pushed him.
After all, they were not blood brothers and sisters, and they should not forget the proper manners when their parents were around.
"Didn't Shiyi say that she liked brother?" Ning Chenyu gently hugged her, squeezed into the room, and locked it neatly.
Shiyi blushed at his sudden words and forgot to struggle.
In the room, only a dim yellow sleeping light was on. Ning Chenyu looked at the little bear on her bed, lying alone on the bed. He could already imagine her staying alone in the room, hugging the little bear, and silently wiping tears.
"Do you turn on the light every night when you go to bed?" He remembered that there was always light when he passed by her door at night.
Shi Yi nodded, his tone low, "After my father and mother divorced, I have been sleeping with the light on."
After saying that, she raised her head cautiously, looked at him, and added: "It was my father and mother who divorced before."
If you want to get the male protagonist's pity, you must let him learn empathy. In life and emotions, we are more inclined to people who have the same experiences and common emotional appeals as ourselves.
Ning Chenyu gently let go of his hand holding her, and instead touched her hair, saying with a smile: "You don't have to explain it specially."
He was not so fragile that he couldn't even hear the facts. He knew that his parents were divorced, but he just didn't want to accept it.
"It's not an explanation." Shi Yi stared into his eyes sincerely, "My mom and dad are divorced, and I'm very happy. Because mom and I were always beaten before. Later, when dad had a new love, we were beaten even more fiercely. Mom took the initiative to apply for a divorce to protect me. The day we left home, we were like two abandoned rag dolls."
Ning Chenyu was a little surprised and kept silent.
"Mom said that Dad Ning is a very good person who can take care of me and her for the rest of our lives, and asked me to be obedient. If I don't obey, we will be abandoned and abandoned like before." Shi Yi pulled his sleeves uneasily, and when he looked up, the tears that had been accumulated in his eyes fell to the ground, "Brother, I will be very obedient in the future, please don't hate me, okay."
Hot tears fell on the back of his feet. Ning Chenyu looked at the little girl in front of him and felt pity from the bottom of his heart for the first time.
In fact, the divorce of parents should be a very difficult thing for all children to accept. It's hard for him to always think that he is the most pitiful. He never considered that the little girl in front of him actually shared the same fate with him. The other person is even younger than himself. Besides, what role can a child play in the relationship between adults? Even if her mother really interfered with the relationship between his parents, what does it have to do with her? She is just a little girl who knows nothing and is afraid of being abandoned if she doesn't obey.
"Brother, I will be very obedient in the future." Shi Yi grabbed the hem of his clothes and repeated again, "I don't want to be abandoned. I like my brother. I want to be with my brother forever."
"Shi Yi, be good, brother said that I will always protect you in the future." Ning Chenyu looked at the pitiful girl in front of him who was like a newborn puppy, gently pressed her head in his arms, and said in a low voice, "I won't let anyone bully you anymore in the future."
In this world, the person closest to him is his mother, but his mother is living alone now, and she can hardly protect herself, let alone choose to live with him.
Only the little girl in front of him sympathizes with him.
They may become the closest people.
"My brother is the best. I love him the most." Shi Yi was afraid of being heard by Bai's mother and Ning's father, so he deliberately suppressed his crying. However, the hot tears kept soaking through the wet cotton pajamas and onto the boy's skin, burning his heart which should have been filled with passion.
It was from this moment that the boy began to abandon his so-called "sense of responsibility" and looked at his sister from the perspective of "a fellow being" and began to deliberately bring her into his life.
From then on, he could never get rid of her.
