- "Brother, have you slept?"
Tang Feifei mustered up the courage to say these words. She lay on the bed and tossed and turned, thinking about what she had just seen in the car.
She always felt that Tang Yu's feelings for her were not just as simple as a brother's feelings for his sister.
Maybe…
He actually has a little affection for himself? Every bit is good.
This thought kept popping up in her mind, getting more and more intense, making her feel uncomfortable as if it was being tickled.
Finally he couldn't bear to send the message, but he kept waiting and waiting until he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, and he never replied to the message.
The next day.
Early in the morning, the winter sunshine shone in through the window and caught her eyes. She opened her eyes hazily, still holding the phone in her hand. After she regained consciousness, she immediately looked at her phone, but it was very quiet.
Even after a whole night, there are no unread messages.
She refused to give up and confirmed again and again before finally accepting with disappointment that Tang Yu did not reply to her message.
She lifted the quilt, sat up, and ran to his room wearing slippers.
The servant was tidying up the sheets in the room. When he saw her coming in, he hurriedly said hello: "Good morning, Miss Second."
"Morning. My brother is up already?" She looked around the room. It was empty, no one was there.
However, it’s only around 7 o’clock in the morning!
The servant replied to her, "Yes. The young master went to the company early in the morning."
"...Oh." Tang Feifei lowered her shoulders. He turned back to his room, got into bed and lay down.

the other side.
At noon, Tang Yu had just returned to the office when his cell phone rang.
The caller was Yuan Qing.
"Mom, how are you having fun?"
"It's good. Your dad and I will be back the day after tomorrow."
"Why do you plan to come back early?" Tang Yu asked, "When will you arrive the day after tomorrow? I will pick you up at the airport."
"No need to bother, you are so busy, the driver at home will come to pick you up." Yuan Qing said: "Did you go back to stay with Feifei's child last night?"
"Yes. I'm back." Tang Yu stood at the window, looking downstairs condescendingly, thinking of last night's scene, his thick eyebrows furrowed.
"That's good. Remember to pay more attention to her, she is just a brother like you."
Tang Yu's thin lips tightened, and after a while he said 'hmm', "I am only her sister, so I will care about her."
He emphasized the word 'sister' a little more.
"Also—when are you free in the past two days? Help me, your dad, and Feifei book the tickets back to Jucheng. As soon as we get home, we have to go back to Jucheng to see the fourth child. It can’t be delayed any longer.”
Tang Yu was silent for a while, and then asked in a deep voice, "In how many days will you leave?"
"In a week."
"Okay, I'll let Shao Cheng make the reservation and wait for you to come back."
Tang Yu spoke to Yuan Qing a few more words before hanging up the phone. He sat at his desk and looked out the window, his eyes dark or light.
———
Tang Feifei and Pino walked around outside in the afternoon. The two of them had dinner outside, and it was already dark.
She took the driver's car home, originally thinking that Tang Yu might be at home now, but when she returned, she found that he had not come back.
"Isn't the young master back for dinner?" she asked Mother Chen while taking off her shoes at the entrance of the porch.
Mother Chen came over and took the bag from her hand, "Well, I didn't come back tonight. I didn't call back either."
"Oh." Tang Feifei responded, "Then I'll call him and ask."
She entered the hall, took the phone and dialed the numbers she knew by heart. Just talking to him on the phone made me feel inexplicably happy.
The beeping sound lasted for a while before the call was finally connected.
"Hello." Tang Yu's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Brother, it's me." Upon hearing his voice, Tang Feifei's voice unconsciously became soft.
"Yeah." He replied very calmly. He was as calm and indifferent as usual, completely without the feeling he had last night.
Tang Feifei was stunned for a moment. At that moment, her heart, which was originally so hot, seemed to be thrown into a cold pool.
She bit her lip and stood there blankly for a while, until Tang Yu said, "Is something wrong?" 'She came back to her senses in a daze.
"Brother, is it okay for me to call you?" she asked. The voice was not as delicate and soft as before, but a little more cool.
Tang Yu pursed his lips, "Of course not."
The reply was unusually brief. Although he said 'Of course not', these four words did not bring much enthusiasm.
She took a deep breath and realized that she couldn't figure out this man's thoughts at all. Just last night, she even mistakenly thought that this man was interested in her. Now it seems that those thoughts are just a joke.
"I'm fine. I'm just asking if you'll come back for dinner. If you don't come back, I'll ask the kitchen people to get off work early."
"No need to leave food for me." Tang Yu replied, and finally said: "I have already returned to my place and will not return to the villa tonight. I will tell Mother Chen to stay with you later."
He won't come back tonight
When Tang Feifei was about to say something, she heard a familiar voice on the other side of the phone.
"Tang Yu, can you help me? I have a set of pajamas on top and I can't get them."
Liang Rujin.
This sound, like a magical sound, suddenly passed through Tang Feifei's eardrums.
Her face turned pale.
"Brother..." She pursed her lips several times, "Is Liang Rujin at your place now?"
"Yeah." He didn't deny it at all.
"She was at your place at night, so you won't come back tonight?" Tang Feifei sneered, "Because of her, you left me alone at home?"
"Don't think blindly." Tang Yu didn't have any extra explanation and only gave her these four words.
However, to her, these words sounded more like perfunctory and trying to hide the truth.
Liang Rujin is looking for pajamas!
She laughed out loud, her eyes moist, "If not, then I'll go find you now."
"Feifei, don't be ridiculous."
"I'm not making trouble!" she insisted.
Tang Yu's voice became more serious, "Just stay at home. What time is it? Don't run out!"
"You are not worried about me at all, you are afraid that I will disturb you and Liang Rujin in the past." Tang Feifei's voice was extremely cold, and she smiled sarcastically, "You are all adults. You have to do something tonight that will make it inconvenient for me to show up." - I know, I know everything.”
"Stop talking nonsense, what do you understand?" Tang Yu used the tone of his brother scolding his sister again. Tang Feifei could even feel the frown between his eyebrows.
"Whether you want to be together or remarry, it has nothing to do with me! You can do whatever you want! You'd better never come back!"
After she finished speaking, regardless of what Tang Yu wanted to say over there, she hung up the phone with a bang.
