Chapter 144 "My brother's here"
Tu Chaoxi had already removed her makeup, but she remained seated for a long time, looking rather unhappy.
The makeup artist casually asked, "Teacher Tu, aren't you leaving?"
He glanced around again: "Huh? Have your sister and brother already left?"
"It seems the person has disappeared."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tu Chaoxi's expression visibly worsened.
He grabbed his clothes and couldn't help but curse as he walked.
Those two brats are not only stupid enough not to know how to apologize to him and make their intentions clear, but they also have no perseverance whatsoever. They ran away after he left them hanging for a little while!
He's so angry!
Tu Chaoxi went straight down to the parking lot. When he looked up, he was stunned to see the brother and sister, whom he thought had run away, standing next to his car.
Tu Yao quickly spoke up: "Brother, Little Brother is getting ready to get his leg treated."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tu Chaoxi, who had clearly not intended to pay attention to the two of them, suddenly raised her eyes and slowly looked at the boy beside her.
Lin Yue asked in a low voice, "Brother... is the doctor you contacted for me last time still there?"
Tu Yao immediately replied, "It's okay if you're not here, I'll help you get back in touch, right!"
“Treatment for the leg requires hospitalization. If he needs to be hospitalized, brother, we need to go back to the urban village first to help him pack his clothes.”
Tu Chaoxi's face remained cold, but the next second, she said, "Get in the car."
After the house in the urban village was mortgaged, Lin Jing and Lin Yue hadn't even had a chance to move in before Tu Chaoxi bought it back.
Lin Jing has probably been back; there's a bunch of mountain produce drying in the yard.
Tu Chaoxi looked around and found there was almost nowhere to step. "...How come there are so many?"
Lin Yue followed up and explained, "Brother, after we got a professional transportation team, Lin Jing received a lot of orders. These are just a part of them."
"As before, he spends most of his time taking orders, and I spend most of my time drying the clothes."
Tu Chaoxi only knew that Lin Yue and Lin Jing made a living by selling mountain products before, but today she learned about their division of labor.
Her expression, which had been cold the whole way, softened slightly: "Oh, I see."
Lin Yue glanced at him and said softly, "...Brother, I was thinking, if I go to get treatment for my leg, who will dry these goods? Lin Jing can't handle it all by himself."
Tu Chaoxi's face immediately fell: "So, you don't want to get treatment anymore?"
Lin Yue quickly shook his head: "No!"
He reached into his pocket, handed over a slip of paper, and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, this is our order invoice for the past month."
"Could you help me find someone to keep an eye on things?"
Tu Chaoxi was taken aback, seemingly surprised. After a moment, she took it and said, "...I understand."
I had just received the order when I heard Tu Yao screaming her heart out inside the house!
"Brother!!! Come quick, come quick!"
Tu Chaoxi panicked and quickly ran into the room!
Lin Yue quickly followed.
Then I saw Tu Yao carrying a huge box on her head, swaying unsteadily!
Seeing that it was about to fall, Tu Chaoxi's face turned pale instantly. She rushed over and, together with Lin Yue, pushed the box back!
Tu Yao immediately squatted down on the ground, panting heavily.
Tu Chaoxi immediately retorted irritably, "Are you stupid?! You even dared to touch such a big box!"
Tu Yao suddenly smiled broadly.
She looked up and whispered, "...Brother, it's so good to have you here. I used to be unable to move big boxes when I was alone."
Tu Chaoxi's anger instantly vanished, and she silently looked at the girl squatting on the ground.
Tu Yao continued, "When I first arrived in Xianhe Village, Ding's father asked me to stay at Xiao Chi's house... oh, not Xiao Chi's, it was Xu Chi's house."
"Back then, I was too embarrassed to ask Aunt Luo and Dad Ding to help with the big clean-up, so I swept slowly by myself."
"There was also a big box on top of it. I tried to lift it but couldn't, and it almost hit my head."
She whispered, "Brother, if only you were here back then."
Also... when she was in the welfare home, later the director got old, and she became the oldest child in the home.
After school, I have to help cook and take care of my younger siblings. It's tiring, but I can't say anything.
Tu Yao was still smiling.
...If only you were here with me then.
Tu Chaoxi's eyes reddened instantly.
"……Fool."
"Tu Xiaomao, you're such an idiot!"
Tu Chaoxi pressed her eye sockets, "...They're all idiots!"
He suddenly understood something.
His younger siblings seem to have finally figured it out and are trying their best to express their vulnerability and dependence on him.
It was what he wanted, and it was also what made him sad.
Tu Yao blinked and apologized again, "...Brother, I'm sorry."
"We truly know we were wrong."
"Please don't ignore us."
Tu Chaoxi took a deep breath and choked out, "...You really know?"
Tu Yao nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know!"
"From now on, we'll tell you everything. If you encounter difficulties, just come home. If you're in danger... no!"
Halfway through her sentence, Tu Yao immediately changed her tune and assured everyone, "We'll try our best not to encounter any danger!"
"Hey bro, is that right!"
Lin Yue nodded seriously: "Yes."
Two faces with similar features stared at each other, anxiously and expectantly.
Tu Chaoxi...couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.
"Okay, okay, I'm not angry anymore."
He quickly reached out and pulled the person up, saying, "Get up! Your legs are going numb from squatting for so long!"
Tu Yao chuckled and used the leverage to slowly regain her balance.
Just as he stood still, Lin Yue's phone vibrated twice. Upon answering and hearing the call, the previously calm young man's expression immediately changed.
"Okay, I'm coming right now!"
He hung up the phone immediately after saying that!
Tu Chaoxi frowned. "What's wrong?"
Lin Yue said urgently, "Lin Jing said that Lin Qiuping was released early and is now at the company."
Tu Chaoxi's face instantly darkened!
After Lin Yue finished speaking, he instinctively tried to run outside.
But the next second, he suddenly seemed to remember something and abruptly stopped in his tracks.
The boy slowly stepped back and looked again at the tall young man beside him.
His eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"...Brother, I don't know what to do, can you help me?"
Tu Yao blinked. Ah, this young man learns so fast…
She quickly raised her hand and chimed in, "I don't know what to do either!"
Tu Chaoxi: ...
For a moment, Tu Chaoxi didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh.
It was a bit deliberate, but it was effective.
In the end, he instinctively reached out and ruffled their hair.
"...Okay, I'm here for you."
