When the resounding "brother" was called out, all the people present were stunned. Yu Ge seemed to be unable to believe what he heard, and felt that everything in front of him was too ridiculous. A crack appeared on his usually expressionless face.
Ah Wen was dumbfounded, his whole body tensed up, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He felt mixed emotions, but also had a subtle admiration for Chen Yuzheng. I really don't know whether to say that Chen Yuzheng has a good attitude or is thick-skinned.
Will's expression was also terrified, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
Yu Nuo was trembling with fear, not even daring to breathe. But Chen Yuzheng acted as if nothing had happened, and said slowly: "Brother, we are a family from now on."
Yu Ge: “… ”
Yu Nuo lowered his head uncomfortably, almost burying his head in his chest in shame, and begged in a low voice: "Chen Yuzheng, please stop talking for now."
Completely ignoring Chen Yuzheng, he didn't even look at him. Yu Ge stared at Yu Nuo and confirmed again: "You are with him."
Yu Nuo bit his lip and nodded slowly.
After a long period of silence and motionlessness, Yu Ge wanted to do something but restrained himself.
Yu Ge laughed out of anger and turned away.
Ah Wen sighed twice, feeling mixed emotions, and looked at Yu Nuo and then at Yu Ge. He looked embarrassed, sighed, and winked at Will, asking him to go after Yu Ge with him.
Yu Nuo stayed where he was.
The last look Yu Ge gave her before he left made her feel as if a basin of cold water was poured over her head, chilling her to the bone.
Yu Nuo watched Yu Ge's back as he walked further and further away, her heart seemed to be squeezed tightly by a hand. She started to chase him, but Chen Yuzheng held her wrist.
Yu Nuo was a little anxious: "Let me go first."
"You want to go find your brother?"
Yu Nuo looked confused and hummed.
Noticing her slight trembling, Chen Yuzheng maintained a relaxed attitude from beginning to end: "It's not a big deal, why are you so nervous?"
Yu Nuo didn't answer any more, but firmly pulled his hand out.
...
...
When he returned to the inner court, the banquet was almost over and most of the people had left. Yu Nuo hurried to OG's table and found that Yu Ge was not there.
Will reminded her, "Your brother and Awen went outside to smoke."
After exiting the revolving door, Yu Nuo stood on the steps and saw Yu Ge's back disappearing into the night.
Awen leaned against the stone pillar, one hand on Yu Ge's shoulder, his head tilted, and it was unknown what he was saying to him.
After waiting for a while, Yu Nuo slowly walked over.
When she got close to him, she called out softly, "Brother."
Yu Ge ignored her and stared indifferently at the air ahead.
Yu Nuo stammered, "Don't be angry."
Ah Wen put out his half-smoked cigarette and asked, "Sister, how long have you been with Er?"
Yu Nuo didn't dare to hide it this time and said honestly: "Several months."
“… … ..”
Ah Wen observed Yu Ge's expression and tried to smooth things over, "It's just a relationship, it's not a big deal, why do you hide it from your brother?"
Yu Nuo lowered his head in embarrassment, and his voice became softer: "I was wrong."
"Alright, alright." Ah Wen pushed Yu Ge, "Isn't it just that my sister got a boyfriend? Why are you so angry?"
Yu Ge seemed to hear nothing and still showed no reaction to the movement around him.
Ah Wen urged: "Why don't you say something? Look how scared your sister is."
Yu Ge's voice couldn't hide the coldness: "I don't have anything to say right now."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Awen could only turn around and say to Yu Nuo: "Why don't you go up first and let your brother calm down, and I will talk to him again."
Yu Nuo looked at Yu Ge eagerly, but he still didn't respond. She turned around disappointedly and walked towards the hotel.
Returning to the dining area, Yu Nuo walked to his seat.
Will asked, "Have you found your brother?"
Yu Nuo nodded.
Seeing her like this, Will stopped asking.
Chen Yuzheng was originally sitting in his seat. When he saw Yu Nuo, he said something to Ultraman, then stood up and walked towards her.
When og saw him, everyone at the table fell silent.
Yu Nuo mechanically packed his things and zipped up his backpack, not noticing that there was another person next to him.
Chen Yuzheng ignored all the complicated looks on him: "Are you leaving?"
Yu Nuo turned his head to look at him and hummed.
He followed her, "I'll take you there?"
Yu Nuo: “No need.”
When they were alone, Chen Yuzheng grabbed her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Yu Nuo forced a smile at him, "I'm fine."
"Because your brother doesn't like me?"
Yu Nuo was silent and shook his head numbly.
"That's why."
"Because of guilt." Seeing his obvious confusion, she repeated, "I feel very guilty."
"Guilty about what?"
"I lied to my brother." Yu Nuo raised his head and looked at him directly. "Chen Yuzheng, I like you very much. But my brother is also a family member that I care about very much. Or, let me put it another way. He is the most important person to me in this world. He is also the person I least want to and cannot hurt."
When they were young, Yu Jiang would beat people when he was drunk, and no one in the family would be spared. Whenever Yu Jiang went crazy, Yu Nuo was still young and ignorant, and he would run into the gun without knowing it.
Whenever General Yu was about to attack her, Yu Ge would rush over from the side and protect Yu Nuo under him.
No matter how hard Yu Jiang punched and kicked her, even to the point of breaking the clothes hanger rod, Yu Ge gritted his teeth and held Yu Nuo in his arms, never letting her go.
After beating him enough, General Yu calmed down his anger and Yu Ge was also covered with bruises.
Yu Nuo secretly took out the medicine box at home and ran to Yu Ge's room to apply medicine to him. Looking at the red and swollen scars on his back, Yu Nuo couldn't help crying while applying the medicine.
Hearing the crying, Yu Ge turned around, comforted her while taking a breath, saying that he was not in pain and asked her not to cry.
Yu Nuo thought at that time that she had grown up and would never let anyone hurt Yu Ge again, including herself.
When I walked downstairs alone, Awen just came up and said, "Come on, I'll take you home."
Yu Nuo glanced back: "Where's my brother?"
"Leave him alone, it's not a big deal, he'll be fine in a couple of days."
Awen was drunk and couldn't drive, so he took her to a taxi.
In the car, seeing Yu Nuo's dejected expression, A Wen thought for a moment and said, "Your brother is not simply angry, he is also a little worried, you know."
"You see, fish's fans scolded Er so harshly online before, but he turned around and got together with you. Maybe this person is using you to deliberately take revenge on your brother? Of course, I am just casually expressing my concerns. In fact, your brother has no grudge against him. If you really like Er, this matter is not impossible to discuss. Why do you have to hide it from him?"
When we got to the gate of the community, Awen said, "Okay, you go up first."
Yu Nuo hummed, walked forward anxiously, and almost bumped into a telephone pole.
Ah Wen pulled her back and said, "Tsk, how do you walk?"
He patted Yu Nuo's head and said, "Don't worry, I will talk to Fish. Don't worry about anything when you go home. Just pack up and go to bed early."
...
...
After returning home, Yu Nuo was too lazy to even take a shower and kept waiting for Yu Ge in the living room.
He waited from dusk till dawn, but he still didn't come home.
In the next few days, Yu Ge probably returned to the OG base. Yu Nuo sent him several messages, but all of them fell into the sea and there was no response.
A week passed.
After taking a nap, Yu Nuo heard some noise outside the door and she hurried out of bed.
After opening the door, I saw Yu Ge.
She nervously gripped the door handle. She had prepared a lot of words during this period, but when she faced him, they were all stuck in her throat. She didn't know what to say, so she said carefully, "Brother, you're back?"
Yu Ge hummed.
Yu Nuo walked out and took the initiative to follow him, "Is the base closed for the holiday?"
Yu Ge responded, not wanting to say anything more. Yu Nuo also shut up and just looked at him.
Yu Ge went into the room, took some clothes, and went to take a shower.
Yu Nuo sat on the sofa waiting for him.
The phone on his lap rang. Yu Nuo looked at the caller ID and walked to the balcony.
After the door was closed, Yu Nuo picked up the phone and said "Hello" in a low voice.
"Are you home? I'll come see you."
Yu Nuo: "My brother is back. I won't go out to see you yet. Wait for a while."
He had noticed Yu Nuo's perfunctory attitude during this period. No matter what he sent, she was slow to reply. When he asked her out, Yu Nuo refused. Chen Yuzheng had never coaxed anyone, so he had no other choice. Even calling her took a long time to get a response. The depression that had accumulated over the past few days was triggered by this sentence.
Chen Yuzheng immediately got angry and couldn't understand, so he asked her: "So what you mean is that if your brother doesn't agree, you're going to never see me again?"
Yu Nuo looked back at the living room. Yu Ge hadn't come out yet. She explained, "I want to give my brother some time to accept it."
Chen Yuzheng: "What if he refuses to accept it?"
"... ..."
Yu Nuo was silent.
Chen Yuzheng: "Are you planning to break up with me?"
"No."
"I am so indifferent to you?"
Yu Nuo said weakly: "No."
Yu Nuo has been timid since she was a child. She would not want or expect anything that did not belong to her. Only Chen Yuzheng was an exception. He was so dazzling, and his whole body seemed to be glowing. He was obviously from a different world from her, but she could not help but sink into him and was attracted.
She used up all her courage to confess to him. Chen Yuzheng was the only person she had ever dreamed of, tried hard for, and won over.
Chen Yuzheng's tone slowed down a bit: "We are together, it's our business. So I only care about you, what others think has nothing to do with me, do you understand?"
Yu Nuo told him: "Maybe you think it's nothing, and you don't care what my brother thinks, but he is the only family member I care about."
She rarely spoke in such a strong tone, which caused silence on the other end of the phone.
Yu Nuo sighed silently.
She could sense that Chen Yuzheng had never taken this matter too seriously. Even that night, when he faced Yu Ge, he was still very relaxed and joked around.
"I care about his feelings." Yu Nuo's voice was not very stable. "If you care about me, I hope you can respect him a little bit at the same time."
...
...
Chen Yuzheng hung up the phone.
Feeling overwhelmed by Yu Nuo's words, Chen Yuzheng threw his phone away and sat on the edge of the bed. With nowhere to vent his anger, he kicked the wall.
There was a knock on the bedroom door, and a moment later, Yu Yiyun walked in with a fruit plate.
Chen Yuzheng was seen sitting on the edge of the bed with his elbows on his knees, hunched over, completely motionless, with his hands in his hair.
Yu Yiyun asked worriedly, "What's wrong, Zhengzheng? What happened?"
Chen Yuzheng suppressed the irritation in his tone: "Nothing."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore."
Yu Yiyun put down the fruit plate and said, "Remember to eat the fruit later."
She was about to leave when Chen Yuzheng suddenly said, "Mom."
Yu Yiyun turned around: "Huh? What's wrong?"
"Let me ask you something." Chen Yuzheng seemed to find it difficult to speak. "Well, well, that..."
Yu Yiyun laughed: "What is it? Just tell me directly."
Chen Yuzheng held it in for a long time, and finally asked: "How did my dad deal with my uncle?"
Yu Yiyun: “… ”
She walked over to sit next to Chen Yuzheng, patiently listened to his confusing words, and summarized, "So your girlfriend's brother doesn't like you, and she was dating you without telling her brother, and then you two got caught?"
Chen Yuzheng hummed.
"So what does your girlfriend think?"
"She said she hopes I respect her brother." Chen Yuzheng was confused, "I didn't do anything to her brother."
Yu Yiyun knew him very well, "So what did you do?"
"I just told her brother that we are a family from now on." Chen Yuzheng was puzzled, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?" Yu Yiyun: "In such a serious occasion, you still have the mind to joke? No wonder the girl is angry."
"I'm not kidding. We're going to be a family from now on."
Yu Yiyun sighed, "With your nonchalant attitude, who would like you? You have to be sincere, sincerity can move people. Your uncle and your grandparents didn't like your father at first, and it took him several years for your uncle to slowly accept him."
Chen Yuzheng had a strange expression on his face.
Yu Yiyun finished reminiscing about the past and looked at him, "What's wrong? Are you moved by your father's persistence? You should learn from him."
Chen Yuzheng: "What can I learn from him? What's there to learn? My dad is such a fool. Why is he taking several years? It's ridiculous. I can't afford to wait that long."
Yu Yiyun: “… ”
"Forget it, I don't bother to care about you anymore." Yu Yiyun stood up, "You are such a lousy thing, you deserve to be disliked."
Chen Yuzheng lay on the bed, dazed for a while, picked up the phone that was thrown on the ground, and went to find the leader of tg.
er: I remember you know fish
Leader: Yes, I know him, what’s the matter
er: Do you have his WeChat? Send me one. I will contact him to solve some personal matters.
Leader: What are you going to do now
er: serious matters
The team leader didn't think much about it and sent over a string of numbers.
er: You remember to let him pass.
After asking for Yu Ge's contact information, Chen Yuzheng searched the Internet for several selected apology letter examples. Fearing that Yu Ge would not approve his friend request, he changed his WeChat name from "er" to a period.
After everything was ready, Chen Yuzheng opened WeChat and added Yu Ge.
I guess the team leader had given notice in advance, so we got through there quickly.
He thought for a moment, then came up and greeted the other party politely.
.:Hello.
fish:
Chen Yuzheng directly sent a long apology letter:
I am er. I added you today with a feeling of great guilt. I just want to sincerely apologize to you. Let's see if there is a chance for us to be friends. In the past, I was impulsive and did some offensive things to you. Ever since I fell in love with Yu Nuo, the mistakes I made to you have kept me awake at night. I am now fully aware of my problems. If God gives me another chance, I will never show that sign to you. If I accidentally hurt you because of my youthful recklessness, I can change my ways. Someone as open-minded as you should not care about me. Although I am very proud, I am more afraid of missing Yu Nuo. Love really requires courage. Please give me a chance, and I will prove that I am a serious person.
Chen Yuzheng checked the essay of several hundred words and found no typos.
Yu Ge was probably moved by his sincere letter of apology and did not reply to the message for a long time.
Chen Yuzheng took the initiative to send another message, and a red exclamation mark appeared.
The following is a line of small gray text:
The message was sent, but was rejected by the other party.
