"It's not that we haven't kept in touch. It's your fault for going abroad, which means we're living in completely different nights. I'm worried about waking you up when I try to reach you."
Yun Kui was on duty today and came out late.
As soon as I saw the school gate, I was drawn to a large bouquet of vibrant roses.
They were even more surprised to see the two embracing.
The girl was wearing a simple school uniform, and her snow-white neck was faintly visible beneath her high ponytail.
Her already slender waist, held in the boy's arms, seemed so soft it would break at the slightest touch.
And the boy... how come he looks so much like her second brother in the family photo?
Yun Kui quickened her pace, but only managed to catch a glimpse of the two walking side by side from behind.

villa.
Yun Lian placed the bouquet of Diana roses in the vase, and immediately the whole place was filled with a fresh and pleasant fragrance.
Yun Qu rested his chin on his hand and watched her come and go.
Upon hearing that she had moved out of the Yun family home, he rushed back to China without stopping, but an emergency at his company kept him abroad.
Fortunately, she was living in the villa he had given her.
After arranging the flowers, Yun Lian handed a cup of water to Yun Qu, saying, "Second Brother, is it really alright for you to come back before going home?"
"Home is wherever Lianlian is."
Yun Lian's eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, "No way, Second Brother, you don't know I'm not your biological sister, do you?"
Yun Qu rested his chin on his hand, not daring to blink even once.
"I know, but what does it matter if we're related by blood? Your second brother will always be your second brother."
"Lianlian, don't overthink it. Second brother separated from them a long time ago, so it doesn't matter whether we go back to the old house or not."
"Then can I ask my second brother for a favor?"
"What's up?"
"I remember when your company was hacked overseas, you unexpectedly met a very skilled hacker friend. Could you introduce us? I'm very interested in this."
Yun Qu raised his index finger and tapped Yun Lian's head.
"There are only six months left until the college entrance examination. No matter how interested you are, wait until after the exam to talk about it."
Yun Lian hugged his arm and shook it coquettishly: "Second brother, my dear second brother, please help me. I want to apply to the police academy. It's very important to me."
Yun Qu's head buzzed.
"Don't you want to study abroad anymore?"
Yun Lian shook her head: "No, I just want to stay in China right now. I only feel safe here."
Yun Qu wanted to see what she was really thinking.
But her eyes were clear and bright.
sense of security……
Yun Qu's heart skipped a beat.
As expected, they still hurt her.
"Okay, whatever Lianlian wants, your brother will help you."
Yun Lian smiled sweetly and pressed her advantage.
"When you go home, brother, could you please check on Yun Kui for me? I don't want her to be sad, and I'm afraid the servants at home will bully her and put others before them."
Yun Qu gently rubbed Yun Lian's hair.
“Silly girl, she’s already back in the Yun family. Who would bully her now? Instead of worrying so much, you should take good care of yourself and not let yourself suffer.”
He really wanted to tell Yun Lian to go home.
But back then, he made the bold claim of taking over the branch company in order to prevent Yun Lian from being forced into a marriage alliance.
The father only agreed after the target amount was earned.
Now that he had finally escaped the Yun family, he didn't want Yun Lian to jump into that pit of fire again.
Yun Lian angrily slapped Yun Qu: "Second brother, you can't rub a girl's head!"

In stark contrast to the warm atmosphere between the brother and sister in the villa.
Yun Family Restaurant was filled with a stifling silence.
The large dining table was completely silent except for the clinking of knives and forks against the bowls and plates.
Yun Kui remembered that the meal Yun Lian ate at home was different from the one she ate now. Although her parents were not very talkative back then, they would still say a few words at the dinner table from time to time.
Moreover, Yun He, who used to be a frequent visitor, has never returned home since Yun Lian moved out.
Unable to suppress her curiosity, Yun Kui mustered her courage and asked, "Mom and Dad, is Second Brother back? I think I saw him at the school gate today."
Mica paused in her action of drinking bird's nest.
"Do you recognize Yun Qu?"
Yun Kui nodded.
"I've seen it in family photos."
When the family photo was mentioned, Yunmu thought of her sweet and adorable baby.
"Don't worry about him. He's closest to Lianlian, so he'll probably be with her."
Yun Kui gripped the chopsticks tightly and said "Oh".
Yun Lian has left, but her shadow seems to be everywhere.
Everyone in this family speaks of her name as if she's a completely different person.
He revealed a tenderness he had never shown her before.
Even she...

The next day.
Yun Lian was served by Yun Qu like a wandering soul, washing up and eating breakfast.
I spent the whole night learning about computers from an expert, and I have absolutely no energy today.
Yun Lian had just arrived at the school gate when she was stopped by Yun Kui.
“Zhao, Yun Kui.”
Yun Kui looked conflicted, feeling a pang of sadness as she saw Yun Lian's sleepy appearance.
The last two times I saw her, she was either sleeping or hadn't woken up properly.
Sure enough, she must have been very sad to leave the Yun family.
"Are you alright? Why don't you... go back to the Yun family?"
"That's great! You look much better, which puts my mind at ease."
"I was a little worried that you wouldn't get along with them, but as expected of a family, you integrated into the group so quickly."
Yun Kui pursed her lips.
The more upright and honest she was, the more she seemed like the farmer and the snake.
But she just stood there, radiating heat like a little sun, making people want to get closer.
"Everyone is doing well, but they all miss you. Why don't you go home too?"
Yun Lian took a step back and shook her head.
