Chapter 100
The moon was almost entirely hidden behind the clouds tonight. The streetlights were bright, and their clear white light shone on Jin Chuwan's slightly restrained face.
But Sung Soo-seung didn't seem to be discouraged.
He habitually pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose, but found nothing.
He stared at his fingertips, hesitated briefly, but soon turned his gaze to Jin Chuwan.
"But even so, we are not related by blood. We are not siblings, and I am not your brother. I am just a... man you are more familiar with..."
This guy suddenly started taking it seriously.
But Kim Cho-man only said that they were not close friends, nor could they be considered familiar with each other.
But not now.
The two stopped and stood face to face under the streetlight. At first glance, it seemed like they were doing something serious, but their conversation was quite pointless.
"That's not important, as long as you're my older brother."
"But I'm not your brother..."
"Who are you."
"I'm not..."
This kind of conversation went on two or three times. Jin Chuwan felt that Cheng Xiucheng seemed to be angry, but she didn't know what he was unhappy about. Calling him "brother" was already giving him a lot of face.
"I don't want to argue with you here. It's getting late, let's go home first..."
She's still hungry.
"No, let's make things clear first..."
Cheng Xiucheng frowned, looking somewhat serious: "I'm doing this for your own good. You can't just let any man you grew up with, someone you feel a connection with like a brother, or someone you have a slight crush on, spend so much money on him and let him live in your house..."
After saying that, the man looked dejected again, "This isn't a good thing. What if the other person isn't a good person...?"
Upon hearing this, Kim Cho-wan finally understood the issue that concerned him.
Fortunately, this is something that's easy to appease.
Because besides this troublemaker.
"There's no one else..."
Kim Cho-wan tilted her head back, and because the two were so close, the height difference between them was particularly noticeable.
"Like this, I only have one brother by my side... so don't worry, I won't encounter bad people unless you are one of them."
Perhaps realizing that Sung Soo-seung genuinely cared about her, Kim Cho-wan's initial helplessness dissipated considerably. She pulled Sung Soo-seung's unharmed hand and walked back, sighing as she went.
"Don't think about it too much, let's go back first. I'm hungry, do you think we can make something when we get back?"
Cheng Xiucheng, who was being pulled along, was stunned for a moment, as if he was processing the meaning of what had just been said. But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was off about him. He couldn't help but smile, and he felt a kind of inexplicable euphoria.
He glanced at Kim Cho-wan with amusement, then at his own arm in a cast.
"I'm already like this, and you still want me to cook? Do you see me as a brother or a maid...?"
Is there any difference?
"There's no difference..."
Cheng Xiucheng paused abruptly, his smile froze, and his gaze toward Jin Chuwan carried a hint of resentment.
"So when you said you treated me like an older brother, it was just because I was easy to boss around..."
Kim Cho-wan just smiled at this.
How could you call him a servant? He clearly does all the housework on his own initiative. To be honest, she thought that washing clothes and cooking were Young Master Cheng's private hobbies.
And they have always maintained a respectful attitude.
only.
Cheng Xiucheng is currently an injured person. He has no memory, doesn't know who he is, and his family is not around. He was hit by a car and the perpetrator has not yet been found.
Most importantly, Cheng Ya helped her so much, and Cheng Xiucheng was her only brother.
So Jin Chuwan remained silent for a while, then coaxed him gently.
"How could that be? I just think your cooking is better than anything you can eat out..."
"real?"
"real."
The two locked eyes, and Cheng Xiucheng's expression finally softened after confirming Jin Chuwan's attitude.
"So that's how it is. You like the food your brother cooks?"
As the man spoke, he narrowed his eyes, revealing a stubbornness and bravado typical of middle-aged men on his handsome and refined face.
"That's easy. Just tell your brother what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you when we get home tonight."
Kim Cho-wan never expected that her insincere compliment would have such an effect.
She looked at the bandage on Cheng Xiucheng's arm and fell into a brief moment of confusion.
But at this moment, Sung Soo-seung seemed to be greatly encouraged, and he even became more talkative.
"But I've forgotten now what dishes I cooked for you before, and which one was your favorite?" the man asked.
Yi Hua
As he spoke, a hint of smugness crept into his smile, and he feigned refusal, saying, "Don't tell me you like them all, I don't believe that..."
After saying that, he stroked his chin again, "If I like everything, wouldn't my cooking skills be amazing...?"
That's enough, really.
Jin Chuwan pressed her forehead and thought for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out the words "steamed egg custard and shrimp dumplings".
Cheng Xiucheng nodded again, but his expression quickly turned serious.
"But there are so many kinds of shrimp dumplings... Are you talking about truffle shrimp dumplings, shrimp dumplings in cream soup, or crystal shrimp dumplings? There are also many varieties of steamed egg custard. Do you prefer minced meat or seafood...?"
Upon hearing this, Kim Cho-wan suddenly raised her head, her expression complex and unusual as she looked at Sung Soo-seung.
Once upon a time, in her eyes, this young master was otherworldly, arrogant, prejudiced, and reckless.
But now, who is this seemingly blissful wife in front of me, who appears to be praising her husband?
real……
When will Cheng Ya finally be able to take him away?
If she continued to feign affection and coax her like this, she was starting to feel like a jerk...
--
The two, each with their own thoughts, walked side by side on the streets of the coastal city.
The neon lights slowly receded one by one, while the lush greenery beside them and the gentle evening breeze caressed their faces.
Perhaps because Kim Cho-wan was holding the man's sleeve the whole time, most passersby assumed they were a close couple.
What's more, they would occasionally exchange smiles.
Vehicles occasionally sped past on the adjacent road, followed by the deep roar of their engines.
Across the street is a row of commercial streets, with a dazzling array of signs.
The man, wearing headphones, walked forward with a leisurely gait. He wore a black mask, but despite it being summer, he was dressed in a loose hooded sweatshirt, making him look somewhat odd.
But with the flu rampant recently, perhaps he's just caught the virus.
But occasionally, passersby are still drawn to those exposed eyes.
Those were eyes filled with wildness and ferocity.
But at that moment he was staring at the two people on the other side of the road.
"What...?"
He raised his hand and pulled down the brim of his hat. As he lowered his head, it seemed as if he was laughing, and a faint murmur could be heard.
"So, that's why you haven't come to see me?"
If Kim Cho-wan were to glance in this direction from the other side of the highway, she would immediately recognize that the man in dark casual clothes was the same man who had been following her and Sung Soo-seung during the day.
But at this moment, she was still immersed in the shock of "fighting" with Sung Soo-seung and had not yet calmed down.
But it could also be some kind of inexplicable telepathy.
Before entering the apartment, Jin Chuwan subconsciously glanced back.
Behind him were silhouettes of large green plants and facilities, but there didn't seem to be anyone there.
Behind her, Cheng Xiucheng was searching for the key to open the door in her handbag.
Jin Chuwan glanced back at Shan but didn't stop her. She habitually touched the back of her neck.
Was it just her imagination?
It seemed like someone called her name...
