"elder brother."
In the silent night, the word "brother" sounded particularly pleasant to the ear, so much so that Long Aotian was unable to react for a moment.
He stopped involuntarily, and with a hint of surprise in his eyes, he turned his head to look at Lin Wanting beside him.
Lin Wanting was also a little embarrassed at this moment. She didn't know what was going on, but she screamed out for some unknown reason.
Maybe it was because Long Aotian’s smile was too open, maybe it was because the joke was a little cold, or maybe it was because the cold-hearted Lin Manying also longed for warmth.
In short, she had never met such a person, such an open and honest person.
It seemed that he did nothing for any purpose. He helped me only because he understood what happened and knew he was not wrong, so he stood up and did not allow the bad guys to bully me.
In fact, everyone has a scale in their heart to measure right and wrong, but the only one who can really stand up is Long Aotian.
So even though I have only known Long Aotian for a few days, my inner liking for him has already reached a very high level.
This call of "brother" made Long Aotian stunned for a long time: "I was just joking."
"But I'm not kidding." Lin Manning turned her head away and said in a cold voice, "I'm different from other girls. I can't stand being teased. I'll take what you say seriously."
Having said that, Lin Man Ning raised her eyes and looked at Long Aotian seriously: "And I am taking it seriously now."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes secretly, and no emotion could be seen on her cold and beautiful face: "If you refuse, it doesn't matter. I'm not as fragile as you look."
Now it was Long Aotian's turn to be embarrassed. He really just wanted to make a joke but he didn't expect Lin Manying to take it seriously.
"Well, can I ask why? We've only known each other for a few days and you're so willing to trust me?"
"Because you are the first person who is willing to take the initiative to stand up and protect me." Lin Manning said in a low voice: "You may not understand, but if I hadn't had your help that day, I would have collapsed."
Having said this, Lin Manning's calm demeanor suddenly became somewhat relieved: "In this strange city, you are the first person who has shown kindness to me."
"Besides, you are a very strange person. If I treat you as my brother, I will feel very at ease and safe."
"Am I weird?" Long Aotian laughed: "Actually it's not as exaggerated as you said, I just..." Having said that, Long Aotian didn't know how to continue.
Before he came into this world, he was one of those people who was often bullied in the orphanage.
Later, I slowly learned to resist and stopped being bullied. But after all, I had been caught in the rain. Sometimes when I saw bad people taking advantage of their power to bully others, I would always think of holding an umbrella for them.
Because Long Aotian can empathize with what it feels like to be bullied.
I don't know if you believe this, but people who lack a sense of security are the ones who can give others a sense of security.
Even though Long Aotian always counsels others, that’s because he is not involved.
The reason why Long Aotian can help Hu Yuying is because he is strong and can protect her.
The reason why Long Aotian was able to resolve Li Qingxue’s heart knot was because he had experience and understood everything.
But often such people, once they fall into it, will never recover, because they cannot enlighten themselves, just because they know everything...
Just like the moment he was kissed by Hu Yuying, he didn't know what to do, because he knew very well that he and Hu Yuying were not on an equal footing from the beginning.
He helped Hu Yuying from the perspective of a protector. No matter what Hu Yuying thought, he would subconsciously think that Hu Yuying could not distinguish between gratitude, habit and dependence.
If one day, Hu Yuying also stood in the same position as herself, she would understand what gratitude and love were, and if she was still willing at that time, perhaps everything would be different.
"If you don't refuse, I'll take it as your agreement." Lin Wanting looked at Long Aotian and smiled playfully. At this moment, she was no longer a cold and aloof school beauty. She was just a little girl whose plan had succeeded.
Who says that people with a cold personality don’t have any ulterior motives? It’s just that you can’t see them.
He usually suppresses his true nature and looks more aloof and reserved than anyone else.
But at the same time, you have to endure the influence of all kinds of dirty jokes from people around you.
Once the true nature is revealed, the bottom line will be infinitely lowered.
It’s like, if you let Hu Yuying watch a short video, she would be so embarrassed that she wouldn’t even dare to listen to the sound.
Although Lin Wanting watched it as a joke to her roommates, and maybe she was too shy, she could still remember it clearly, and even learned a lot about strange cheese.
So, there is only a fine line between innocence and timidity.
Long Aotian only appeared at the moment when Lin Man Ning collapsed. Perhaps it didn’t matter what he did, but because he was the only one who covered her with a fig leaf before she collapsed.
Maybe this is not enough, but after spending these days together, at least Lin Wanting feels that Long Aotian makes her feel safe and at ease.
"If you don't mind, I can do it."
"But this is my first time being a brother. If I don't do well, you won't have the chance to regret it."
Lin Manning covered her mouth and chuckled: "So domineering."
"Yes." Long Aotian stretched his waist: "I am very domineering."
Looking at Long Aotian stretching his body, Lin Manying inexplicably thought of the boy who made a hugging gesture towards the sky at the school gate that day.
The two people's postures are obviously similar, but why do they give people such completely different feelings?
