Chapter 251 Brother, Can You Scold Me?
Yu Chengbai gently took his hand off his leg, bent down and sat down beside him.
As soon as he sat down, Ning Yan took the initiative to lean towards him and lay on his chest.
He was already feeling a little sleepy and was beginning to have a headache. He found a comfortable position in Yu Chengbai's arms, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
Yu Chengbai didn't want him to sleep like this, so he patted him on the back, woke him up, and asked him, "Why did you want me to hit you?"
Ning Yan was not very happy to be woken up. In fact, he was a little grumpy after waking up.
But at this moment, she could still tell that the person hugging her was Yu Chengbai, so she didn't get angry and replied, "I feel like I'm not very obedient."
"You're not."
"Then you scold me?"
"I don't want to scold you, Ah Yan."
"Then you're going to whip me with a belt?"
Yu Chengbai frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked him, "Did Kevin and Jiang Wei tell you that they were beaten with belts by their parents when they were young?"
"No."
Ning Yan shook his head and said, "Third Young Master said that when he was a child, he was often beaten with a belt by his father."
"..." Yu Chengbai sighed softly, and seemed to be about to laugh. He asked him, "How could you believe what Ali said?"
"Why can't we believe what he says?"
"When he was little, he was naughty, and my dad would hit him on the palms with a ruler. Sometimes, out of anger, he would kick him without caring about his appearance, but he never really hit him. Then one time, he got drunk, and I don't know who instigated him to burn the ruler that my dad always used to hit him on the palms."
Looking back now, Yu Chengbai still feels both amused and annoyed: "Burning it would be fine, and buying another one wouldn't be a big deal, but he couldn't hold his alcohol well to begin with, and after drinking too much, his temper got even worse, and he yelled my dad's name at the top of his lungs."
Yu Chengbai sighed, "The ruler was burned, and my father couldn't stand it anymore, so he whipped his belt and hit him on the legs a few times."
Ning Yan: “…”
Ning Yan suddenly remembered that it seemed like he was the one who instigated it.
He had just smuggled in from Continent M at that time, and to be honest, his values were not very good.
Besides, how could he know how to get along with family members when he has no parents?
Seeing Yu Li complaining about having a trouble-making stepmother and younger brother at home, and also complaining about being often slapped on the palms by his father, then as a brother, Ning Yan naturally stood on Yu Li's side without thinking!
So it was because of me that he was beaten with a belt?
The Third Young Master didn’t say that!
Ning Yan was so frightened that he almost sobered up. He quickly got out of Yu Chengbai's arms, hugged Yu Chengbai's face, and asked him seriously: "Didn't you say to stop him at that time? That delicate skin, wouldn't it hurt if you hit him?"
Yu Chengbai looked at him helplessly and said, "Ah Yan, is it possible that Ah Li, who is always fighting everywhere, is not as delicate as me?"
Ning Yan frowned: "Your dad won't beat you, so you really didn't stop him?"
Yu Chengbai said, "Stopped it."
Ning Yan looked into his eyes for a long moment, then suddenly said, "I don't think I've ever heard Third Young Master say you've hit him or scolded him before. Have you never hit him, scolded him, or slapped him?"
Yu Chengbai thought about it seriously and said, "I have criticized it."
"Because of what?"
"If there were more people and the amount involved was larger, they could be arrested for gambling and provoking disturbances."
“…”
Ning Yan was silent, as if this had something to do with him.
It seems that Yu Li’s being called the Little Overlord in the Beijing circle in the past is really related to himself.
If Yu Li hadn't known me, he might have been quite obedient under the Yu family's education.
At least it won't get so wild that it can't be resolved.
"I think I taught him bad things." Ning Yan realized it belatedly. He frowned and said it again, "I taught him bad things, and then after he got into trouble, I left and no one cleaned him up."
"It has nothing to do with you." Yu Chengbai raised his hand and touched his head.
Ning Yan looked up at him and suddenly said, "Can you scold me?"
Yu Chengbai frowned slightly: "Not good."
Ning Yan frowned: "You can scold the Third Young Master, why don't you scold me?"
Yu Chengbai corrected: "That's criticism."
Ning Yan immediately said: "Then why don't you criticize me?"
"Why would I criticize you?"
"Because I was disobedient, I led the Third Young Master astray. Isn't that enough?"
“…”
Yu Chengbai studied his expression carefully. Seeing that he wasn't joking at all, he suddenly asked, "Why do I have to criticize you? If you feel you've done something wrong, shouldn't you call Ali and apologize? Why do I have to hit you and scold you?"
Ning Yan looked at his serious expression, didn't say anything, and didn't get angry because of his sudden seriousness. Instead, she reached out and hugged him.
She leaned against his chest, her chin resting on his shoulder.
Yu Chengbai heard the sound of soft breathing and heard him whispering softly in his ear: "You are my brother. If I do something wrong, shouldn't you beat me and scold me?"
Yu Chengbai's heart tightened, his throat tightened as well, and he couldn't speak.
Ning Yan continued to hold him and asked him, "Your brother is disobedient, shouldn't you discipline him as a matter of course?"
"Brother, can you scold me?"
"Just like you scolded Yu Li before, scold me too, okay?"
Yu Chengbai still didn't say anything, he was completely speechless.
His arms were loosely wrapped around Ning Yan who was hugging him, his back resting on the sofa, his head lowered, his expression filled with deep powerlessness, even a hint of imperceptible despair and helplessness.
When he knew that Ning Yan was not his brother and had no blood relationship with him, he should have been happy to tell Ning Yan, but he never had the intention to say it for so many days.
It's not just because Ning Yan never cared about this.
Moreover, he had seriously suspected that the reason Ning Yan stayed with him was precisely because he thought they were brothers.
Ning Yan believed that he was his only blood relative besides his mother and his last relative in this world.
He doesn't care about ethics.
On the contrary, in Ning Yan's eyes, love between blood relatives will become indestructible because of the blood connection.
Because Ning Yan has always felt that family and friendship are more important than love.
This was the idea that Tessa had been instilling in him since he was born, and it had never changed.
