Sheng Yuxi gave a wry smile. “Oh, Yueyue, am I bothering you?”
“Of course not. Did you forget, Third Brother? I didn’t do well in math in my second year of junior high school and you took the time to help me with my math lessons although you were going to take your senior high school entrance exam.” Sheng Yue deliberately emphasized their past and appeared to reminisce. “We grew up together and have been through a lot of ups and downs together. No one can sow discord between us.”
Sheng Yuxi nodded solemnly. He thought half of what Sheng Yue said was right.
After all, he really cherished their past. When he was a child, his cold-tempered eldest brother barely played with him aside from when he was rebuking him.
Second Elder Brother was very nice but too busy. Only Sheng Yue… was about the same age and had similar interests, so they often hung out together.
Their memories of adolescence were the most unforgettable.
Sheng Yue talked to him a lot about their past and they chatted feverishly.
At this time, the waiter brought them their desserts. Sheng Yuxi ordered a glass of sparkling water with lemon.
Sheng Yue handed the water to him and said with a smile, “You just never change. This was your favorite when you were a child, and you still like it now.”
“Yes.” Sheng Yuxi lowered his head. “Do you know why I’ve been ing to see you lately? Well, I feel suffocated at home. Every day, I just don’t want to go home, so I came to chat with you.”
Sheng Yue froze for a moment then stirred the milk tea in her cup, causing it to ripple.
“Oh, I shouldn’t have said that to you. That just ruined our happy moment.”
“No, I want to listen.” Sheng Yue put her hand on the back of Sheng Yuxi’s hand. “Third Brother, I’m always on your side. You can share your unhappiness with me.”
Sheng Yue asked, “Why do you feel suffocated?”
Sheng Yuxi scratched his head. “Well, maybe I shouldn’t talk to you about my family matters.”
“Oh, that’s OK. Do you view me as an outsider?” Sheng Yue suddenly turned angry. “I call you Third Brother because you’re my brother in my heart, and so are Eldest Brother and Second Elder Brother!”
After a pause, she went on: “Tell me. I promise I won’t tell anyone. I’ll keep it a secret.”
Upon hearing that, Sheng Yuxi seemed to be relieved. “Actually, I don’t like my sister much. After all, we met each other not long ago, and I don’t have too deep feelings for her.”
“I understand what you mean.” Sheng Yue looked straight into his eyes and said meaningfully, “Yes, unlike me, who grew up with you, she’s almost a stranger to you.”
“But since she came back, my parents have ignored me a lot.” Sheng Yuxi looked wronged. “Mom always yells at me.”
(O.S.: In fact, I’m happy when my parents yell at me. Eldest Brother looks so cool when he yells at me! Sister looks so cute when she yells at me, (^-^)V.)
“Oh, no, how could they treat you like this?” Sheng Yue covered her mouth with a hand, looking shocked. She then said, “But that’s understandable. After all, Yangyang has always been the source of pain in your mom’s heart, and now she’s finally returned. But this is too unfair to you. I think you should talk to Aunt and Uncle about this.”
“Talk to my mom?” Sheng Yuxi shook his head. “Whenever it es to my sister, my mom never gives in.”
