Chapter 480 It Was Just a Dream
Faced with this sudden confession, Chen Leying felt no joy, only shock.
She looked at Zheng Yang in disbelief: "You're my brother! I've always thought of you as my brother!"
"But I'm not your brother!" Zheng Yang growled. "I don't want to be your brother, I want to be your boyfriend, we can hold hands, kiss, and completely belong to each other!"
Chen Leying thought the person in front of her was crazy. "What nonsense are you talking about? I can fall in love with anyone, but that person will never be you!"
In reality, influenced by her family of origin, she was prepared to never date or get married for the rest of her life.
But Chen Leying chose a more hurtful statement because she had to sever Zheng Yang's feelings for her.
Zheng Yang's eyes were hurt. "Why can't it be me? I'm not your brother, we're not related by blood at all. Just because I received your brother's cornea, you're excluding me? That's so unfair to me."
Chen Leying pretended not to see the hurt in his eyes: "There's no such thing as fairness in relationships. If you don't like someone, you just don't like them. You can't force it. In my heart, you're just my brother, nothing more."
She knew that treating Zheng Yang like an older brother was unfair to him, but she craved the warmth of the illusion that her brother was still alive and ignored Zheng Yang's feelings.
I was too selfish.
“Zheng Yang,” this was the first time Chen Leying had called his name. “I have no feelings for you that go beyond brotherly love. Whether now or in the future, I will only ever see you as my brother.”
After leaving those words, Chen Leying got out of the car and left without looking back.
A swift and decisive approach is the best way to deal with Zheng Yang.
...
"Chen Leying, your brother is here to see you. Go to your office."
It was lunchtime when Chen Leying felt someone push her arm, and she immediately opened her eyes alertly.
The classroom fan whirred, bringing a cool breeze.
Chen Leying was stunned. Was she dreaming?
Didn't she drop out of school?
Seeing her blank expression, the homeroom teacher urged, "Your brother is here to see you. He's waiting for you in the office."
Chen Leying was startled; her brother had already…
Without thinking twice, she took off running towards the office.
A young man stood upright in the office, carrying two bulging bags filled with food.
Chen Leying stared at him blankly for three seconds, then rushed up and hugged Chen Leping: "Brother!"
Tears soaked Chen Leping's clothes. He gently patted Chen Leying's head and asked, "You missed me that much?"
Chen Leying just kept crying and couldn't say a word.
At this moment, she didn't want to delve into whether everything that had happened was a dream; she just wanted to stay with her brother forever.
Chen Leping went to great lengths to appease his sister, but he had a feeling that something was wrong with her unusual behavior.
"Yingying, what's wrong?" he asked cautiously. "Did someone bully you at school?"
Chen Leying shook her head. "No, I had a terrible nightmare."
She didn't want to bring it up anymore, so she took the initiative to end the conversation, "Brother, why did you suddenly come to see me?"
"I'm here on a business trip and stopped by to see you," Chen Leping said. "The college entrance exam is coming up soon, good luck on your exam!"
Chen Leying said, "Brother, why don't you take some time to get a physical exam?"
Chen Leping was a little confused. "Huh? What's wrong?"
Why would you suddenly make him go for a physical exam?
Chen Leying lowered her eyes and made up a reason casually, "A classmate's father had a physical examination and was diagnosed with an incurable disease."
"Your brother is young and strong, in great health, and has a good appetite. Nothing will happen to me," Chen Leping said with a smile.
Chen Leying said with a serious expression, "Brother, you must go for a physical examination!"
The pain of losing her brother in her dream was too unforgettable; she didn't want to experience it again.
Chen Leping shrugged: "Okay, okay, I promise you. I'll go for a medical check-up as soon as I finish my current project."
Chen Leying thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you after my college entrance exam."
She needs to see her brother's medical report with her own eyes to feel at ease.
Chen Leping felt that his younger sister was acting very strangely today. On second thought, he realized that perhaps she was frightened by her classmate's father's situation, which was why she was so anxious.
So he agreed, "Okay, it's settled then. After you finish your college entrance exam, we'll pick a Sunday to accompany me for my physical exam."
Chen Leying finally felt relieved.
Next up is the college entrance examination.
Chen Leying had excellent grades and performed exceptionally well in the college entrance examination. The moment she walked out of the examination room, she knew that her dream university was secure.
"When I was in college, I worked part-time, including as a sorting worker on an assembly line in an electronics factory..."
A sentence suddenly popped into my head.
Chen Leying paused to think.
Who said this?
It feels so familiar...
"Yingying, over here!" Chen Leping was waving excitedly at her from the crowd of people who had come to accompany her during the exam.
Chen Leying shook off her previous thoughts and quickly walked up to Chen Leping. "Brother, I've finished my exam."
Chen Leping didn't ask her how the exam went. "To celebrate you finishing the college entrance exam, I'll take you out for a big meal!"
Instead of going out for a fancy meal, Chen Leping drove her to an outdoor equipment store.
Chen Leying was a little surprised, "Weren't we going to eat? Why are we here?"
Chen Leping said with a smile, "There's a meteor shower tonight. Let's go watch the meteor shower and go camping in the wild! Haven't you always been looking forward to going camping in the wild? You've mentioned it to me several times before."
Camping in the wild?
Chen Leying did mention it to her brother several times.
Now that her wish is about to come true, why can't she feel even a shred of anticipation?
It's like... she's camped in the wild countless times?
"What are you daydreaming about? Let's go buy some camping gear first." Chen Leping pulled her into the specialty store.
As soon as the two entered the store, the chubby owner greeted them with a smile: "Sir and Madam, what would you like to buy?"
Chen Leping chatted with the shop owner and soon bought the camping equipment he needed.
The boss helped load all the equipment into the trunk of the car, and Chen Leping navigated to his destination.
Chen Leying sat in the passenger seat, watching the scenery flash by outside the car window.
I don't know how long the car had been driving, but we were passing through a factory area. The factory's name was "Anxin XXX".
Chen Leying felt that the name of the factory was extremely familiar, but when she thought about it more deeply, her head began to ache slightly.
She stopped thinking about that name, and her headache quickly subsided.
The car drove for another half hour before finally arriving at its destination.
Chen Leping parked his car at the foot of the mountain, then found a suitable campsite nearby and began preparing ingredients for dinner.
"How about we use what we have here tonight and catch some fish in the river for a barbecue?" Chen Leping suggested excitedly, holding a fishing net.
Chen Leying: "Okay."
