Crossing the line

Chapter 41 Brother is waiting for you

When Yun Yuwan fled to Europe, she was extremely grateful that the University of the Arts London accepted her, otherwise she would not know how to survive in the United States.

I was afraid that one day I would be isolated and helpless and encounter difficulties in the United States, so I would call my brother and cry to him. My brother would say, your sister-in-law is over there, I will ask her to help you.

If she saw that girl, heard that girl showing affection, really treated her as Wen Yangzhi's sister, and complained to her about her brother's shortcomings on the surface, but actually said sweetly, "Your brother is always like this, I'm used to it. Does he treat you like this at home?"

She was just afraid she would go crazy.

She could only accept her brother being with her. She would be extremely jealous if he was with anyone else. She even wanted to imprison her brother, tying him down with tears, body, and moral kidnapping, so that he would belong to her alone forever.

In order not to become such a lunatic and not to witness their happiness and sweetness, she chose to run away. This was the best ending for the three of them. When she came back many years later, she could call others sister-in-law with a smile and call Wen Yangzhi brother in a formal and distant way. Then everything would not be made so bad by her.

Knowing that the love she had for him was so intense that she couldn't control it, she couldn't bear to hurt him, so she had to betray him.

She even refused to ruin his relationship and respected all his decisions based on her rationality.

She could obviously make a scene, go crazy, make the girl collapse, and force her to leave.

But such things only existed in her brain for a moment, and the education she received in the previous sixteen years did not allow her to do so.

She was heartbroken over the loss of her brother, but the girl was innocent.

Even if problems arise, Yun Yuwan only asks himself to be decent.

But she didn't expect that all this was just a misunderstanding.

Later, he accidentally found out that the girl was not his brother's girlfriend, but his brother went to Tokyo to relax and secretly followed his former suitor.

When my brother made a video call home, the girl came uninvited, rushed in front of the camera, greeted Aunt Qin loudly, and said that she was Wen Yangzhi's girlfriend, named Fu Yu.

Wen Yangzhi is not the kind of person who would deliberately make excuses. When Zhao Qin asked him if it was true, he would just say no coldly and then hang up the phone, too lazy to dwell on these things.

Zhao Qin only felt that her son was embarrassed and shy.

It turned out that the ring was indeed useful.

My brother is being pursued by someone.

But Yun Yuwan misunderstood this incident all the way until her junior year.

When she found out it was just a misunderstanding, she suddenly realized what his burning and solemn eyes meant when she told her brother that she had only applied to schools in Europe.

My brother wants her to go to America.

She couldn't tell whether that look was due to love between a man and a woman, or simply a little anger at being concealed and betrayed between siblings, but she knew very well that she loved Wen Yangzhi. At his age, it was normal for him to get married, not to mention dating. Although he didn't do that at the time, she would go crazy if he did it later.

In order to avoid such an accident, she insisted on her own way and chose not to go home even for the Spring Festival.

As a result, her contact with Wen Yangzhi became less and less, and in the end, she didn't even send him a happy holidays message.

If you want to break up, break up cleanly.

She is a very awkward person.

She didn't want to mend the relationship or sugarcoat the situation, nor did she want to meet him.

But she missed him so much that she couldn't fall asleep every night.

She used to only miss her parents, but later she couldn't help thinking about Wen Yangzhi.

Finally I understand that sentence,

I don't know how unexpected it is, but I left it in the sad wind.

At that time, Yang Ni had been around her for three years like a mosquito. He followed her from China to London. He somehow got the news of her application to school and deliberately applied to the same school as her.

Even Aunt Qin knew that Yang Ni had been pursuing her, and was so devoted to her that he even pursued her all the way to college.

The year she went home for the holidays during her freshman year, it was the first time her brother heard that Yang Ni was pursuing her. They already felt a little strange, but he still asked her calmly: "Do you want to agree?"

Yun Yuwan hesitated whether to let him just misunderstand, but when the words came to her lips, she shook her head:

"Do not want to."

But perhaps because the cruelest she could do to someone was to treat him as if he were air and she would not deliberately slander him, Yang Ni was able to pursue her relentlessly even though she was just an ordinary classmate.

For the first time, Wen Yangzhi treated her as a member of the opposite sex. He stood at the wind outlet, guarding the fire and lighting a cigarette. His eyes were mature and deep, yet unfathomable:

"Don't be nice to men easily. There are many relationships between men based on the exchange of interests. Men don't believe that others will show kindness for no reason. In the eyes of girls, their actions are out of politeness, but in the eyes of men, this woman is interested in him."

She was really surprised that he would say such a thing.

Of course, she didn't think that her brother, who was so cold and self-respecting, would deliberately discredit anyone. He was just telling the truth. But she couldn't help but wonder if he said these things in order for her not to choose Yang Ni or to be nice to Yang Ni, and whether he was jealous.

The atmosphere around her was a little depressed: "Brother, are you like this too?"

But he stood in the wind, his clothes fluttering, his eyes fixed on her, and asked, "Am I a man to you?"

To her, he was just a brother.

Yun Yuwan didn't dare to look him in the eye, but only admitted the fact in a low voice: "It's my brother."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yangzhi didn't stay any longer and just walked away. She didn't dare to chase him.

In fact, during those six years, the painful longing almost drove her crazy. It was no better than when she saw him. Every time she passed by Wen's Bank abroad, she would wonder if he would have the opportunity to come to Europe for inspection, and whether it was possible for him to come out of this door in the next second.

Unfortunately, by now, she was no longer sure whether he liked her.

He had no reaction to her "I love you too".

Perhaps, something went wrong. She was being sentimental from the beginning to the end, and Wen Yangzhi was not really moved once.

As soon as Lin Chu came out of the shower, he saw the lop-eared puppy sitting on the bed in a daze.

As she applied the hair oil, she asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Yun Yuwan woke up suddenly. The surroundings were decorated like a hotel with only a row of ceiling lights on. She was sitting on a white bed covered with hotel sheets.

"Nothing, I was just daydreaming."

Lin Chu applied the hair care oil evenly in front of the mirror. "I think Wen Yangzhi is really hard to understand. Let's not talk about love letters. You always try to tease him. If it were someone who doesn't like you, he would have been disgusted to death. He is different. He doesn't resist, but when you show your love, he doesn't like it and doesn't respond."

Yun Yuwan just curled the corners of his lips and said, "Maybe I will go back to Belgium again."

Lin Chu came over with hand cream on her face. "Come on, come on, I need to get some beauty sleep. I have a live broadcast to attend tomorrow."

Yun Yuwan was frustrated during the day and was driven away by Lin Chu. She went to a restaurant that also served customers at night and sat there for a long time. She ordered dishes, but could not eat them. She sat there quietly for a long time until the restaurant closed at three in the morning.

She wandered aimlessly on the street, not wanting to go back.

Her heart was empty, and she knew that Wen Yangzhi would not love her even if she went back.

It wasn't the first time she had escaped.

She returned home and found the lights on the first floor were on.

As I walked in curiously, I saw the tall silhouette of a man sitting on the sofa, with light and shadow dimly visible.

The soft light from the fish tank was reflected in waves, passing over him.

Expensive Boyle's thornfish swam in the water, and the swaying shadow of the fish swam across his face.

The long, quiet water light extended all the way to her feet.

It was like he had brought her and her brother into a private and ambiguous world. Wen Yangzhi heard the noise and turned her head slightly to look in her direction. Fuxi was looking at her steadily. He was looking at her. She couldn't describe the emotion in his eyes, which was as thick as ink-colored tenderness. Although he was only a little more relaxed than usual, that glance gave her a completely different feeling.

It seemed that no matter what she did at this moment, her brother would not be angry.

He just whispered:

"come over."

There was a bang in her head, and she said weakly, "Brother."

She could hardly move her legs. If she wanted to walk over, she would probably have to crawl and stay where she was.

Wen Yangzhi opened and closed his thin lips: "How many flower art exhibitions are left?"

She looked at his noble and handsome face and almost lost herself in thought: "There is another show tentatively scheduled in China."

He sat in the shadow of the antique pendulum clock, his expression unclear:
"The Wen family has an art gallery in an old western-style building in Jing'an. You can hold as many shows there as you want. I'll have someone come to handle the formalities tomorrow."

She couldn't believe it, so she said cautiously: "Does that mean you can let me borrow it casually?

He looked at her calmly: "It's for you."

She stood there, her heartbeat in her breath.

Her brother gave her the art gallery.

It's not like he didn't respond.

She mistakenly thought that her brother didn't like her and had no response to "I Love You Too".

But maybe her brother was just used to not expressing himself in front of outsiders, but in front of her, he finally poured out all his feelings.

She couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you say anything when Jiang's brother was here?"

He said without saying anything: "I'll go transfer the ownership tomorrow."

Wen Yangzhi stood up, and a smooth, flat object slid across his fingertips and was placed on the table by him. It had a dull metallic luster and remained there.

Before she could come to her senses for a long time, Wen Yangzhi had already walked out of the villa.

She then realized that the button on the table was hers.

Yun Yuwan finally came to her senses, ran after him, and hugged Wen Yangzhi from behind: "Brother."

The scent of Wen Yangzhi poured into her nostrils, as if it was an addiction. She was extremely dependent on him and wanted to get closer. Her eyes couldn't help but get hot:
"Brother, can you see me more often?"

Wen Yangzhi's voice was still cold: "You can see me anytime you want. I have my phone number and address."

Her eyes were filled with hot tears, which flowed down her cheeks. She couldn't stop crying, nor could she stop loving Wen Yangzhi.

She couldn't help but ask him: "Can you respond to me in front of outsiders in the future?"

Hearing her crying, he held her arm, turned around and looked at her, narrowed his eyes slightly, and moved his thin lips slightly: "What do you want to say in response?"

She was so excited that she was a little incoherent and choked up, "Just the words I said and the things I did, can you please not let them fall to the ground? I have a lot of things I want to say to you, but I dare not. There are also many things I want to do, but I am afraid that you will not respond to me."

Clear tears flowed down her frail, pale cheeks, and her eyes, like those of a white pheasant, were filled with tears, which were more moving than the night.

Wen Yangzhi said calmly: "Am I that fierce?"

Her tears welled up: "You did, you are so fierce, you never smile when you talk to me now, but you can smile with the brother of the Jiang family, I saw it, can you be a little gentler when you talk to me?"

Tears welled up in her eyes, she felt wronged and angry: "You obviously care about me, but you don't show it."

After six years, this was the first time he had the patience to listen to her, even though his tone was still indifferent: "Besides that?"

She couldn't help crying, "You're so fierce, you even hit people, my parents never hit me, but you hit me, don't you know I care about you a lot?"

His gaze shifted from her face to her eyes, and he lowered his eyes to look at her: "Does this count as beating you?"

She felt wronged and angry: "Why doesn't it count? Don't you think this is beating me?"

He suddenly said in a calm voice: "You really are a child."

Yun Yuwan became even angrier, tears streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably, like the little girl in the cartoon with two wide rivers of tears under her eyes:

"You're still scolding me. I'm 23, I'm not a child anymore. I'm an adult just like you. Don't think I don't understand anything."

Wen Yangzhi suddenly chuckled.

Yun Yuwan was choked by his sudden laughter and asked carefully, "You, what are you laughing at?"

There was a clear light in his eyes. The night was so dark that his eyes looked clearer than usual, but his tone was always cold and indifferent:

"nothing."

She choked up and said awkwardly, "Are you laughing at me in your heart for being so young and thinking I'm so naive?"

However, Wen Yangzhi only said: "There is progress."

She sobbed and sobbed: "What progress?"

Wen Yangzhi half lowered his eyes and looked at her: "Compared to before, at least I have a better idea now."

She suddenly got angry, snorted and turned away.

He didn't answer.

She complained: "I'm going to tell my aunt that my brother cursed."

Wen Yangzhi looked away and paid attention to other things: "Why don't you just call my mom mom?"

She was suddenly stuck, hesitating and embarrassed: "...I will have to call you in the future anyway."

Wen Yangzhi didn't have much time to spend with her: "I have something else to do, so I'm leaving now."

She held Wen Yangzhi's big hand and asked, "Brother, can you live at home?"

He lowered his thin eyelids, his eyes fell emotionlessly on the hand she was holding: "Not used to it."

She was puzzled: "Why aren't you used to it?"

Wen Yangzhi's clothes were lifted by the wind, and he felt an ambiguous feeling. He said simply, "You are here."

"You're not used to me?" She felt very uncomfortable. "How can this happen? You don't sleep in the same bed with me."

Her action of sitting on his bed was real, and at this moment Wen Yangzhi was just reminding her coldly:

“There may not be no such risk.”

Her face suddenly burned.

There may not be no such risk.

She was hot all over.

In fact, she never said no. Wen Yangzhi didn't know that for him, anything was possible.

She would give him anything he wanted.

"Brother, I have been abroad for so many years, have you ever thought about me?"
