Chapter 145 - 145: Filled with Sunlight and the Fragrance of Flowers
Only then did Yue Lingyi understand that it was not that he was not interested in anything, but that he did not dare to be interested. After listening to his elder brother, he had become strong and wanted to live a good life alone, so he restrained himself.
“I’m sorry. Did I disturb you? You don’t have to care about me…”
“Fourth Brother.” Yue Lingyi interrupted Yue Lingyu’s words and suddenly said, “I read in the book that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses.
You’re not good at controlling yourself, so don’t force yourself.”
Yue Lingyi had good intentions, but it was unknown if there was something wrong with his tone or if his expression was too stiff, but it made Yue Lingyu think that he was mocking him. Hence, he could not help but cry again.
Yue Lingyi looked at the crying Yue Lingyu and was at a loss. He could only watch from the side. He only left when Yue Lingyu stopped crying.
From that day onwards, Yue Lingyi began to observe his fourth brother, who like him, did not have much of a presence at home. He realized that his fourth brother really cried easily. He would cry if he accidentally bumped into someone. When others spoke too loudly, he would cry. When he was alone, he would suddenly cry.
These actions were very similar to incontinence, but Yue Lingyi felt that it was not the case. Compared to the description of incontinence in the books, his fourth brother could clearly control himself. It was just that he was unwilling.
Yue Lingyi began to follow beside him, recording the reason for his crying every time and looking up similar cases in books. He felt that his fourth brother was very interesting. It was not his personality, but his body. The people in his family did not seem to have realized that Yue Lingyu’s wound could not heal by itself.
If it was in the past, Yue Lingyi might have used a knife to cut a hole in Yue Lingyu’s body to study him in order to understand his body in detail. However, after being educated by his elder brother, he knew that it was wrong to do that.
Hence, he continued to follow behind Yue Lingyu as he waited for Yue Lingyu to be injured. Who knew that even after a month, Yue Lingyu was not injured? It seemed that when he was alone, he would be especially careful.
This was until that day, there were guests at home. Their parents were busy greeting them, and Yue Lingyu was pestered by the guest’s child. Finally, he was scratched by the child’s toy.
The familiar tears flowed out. Yue Lingyi watched as Yue Lingyu ran to the first aid kit at home and sobbed as he prepared to apply the medication. However, his shoulder was injured this time, so it was not easy for him to deal with it alone.
Yue Lingyi thought that this was a good opportunity to observe his brother up close. So he took the initiative to help apply the medicine.
Yue Lingyu naturally agreed. He had no reason to refuse.
Yue Lingyi cleaned the wound while observing. Just as he finished bandaging it, he did not notice that a small notebook fell out of his pocket and landed at Yue Lingyu’s feet.
The page that was flipped open happened to have Yue Lingyu’s name on it.
Yue Lingyu observed the diary:
Hide on the balcony and cry.
Hide in the study and read while crying.
Hide in his room and crying…
Upon closer inspection, it was filled with records of Yue Lingyu crying in every place. If it were an ordinary person, he would more or less be a little embarrassed at this moment. However, not only was Yue Lingyi not embarrassed, he even asked directly, “Why did you hide on the balcony and cry yesterday?”
Yue Lingyu was stunned for a moment before he explained stupidly, “I didn’t manage to eat what I wanted to eat yesterday, so I suddenly felt very sad.” After saying that, Yue Lingyu smiled for the first time when he had a wound. “So you’ve been concerned about me. Thank you.”
That day, Yue Lingyi remembered very clearly that they were in a warehouse. It was cold and gloomy, and the air was filled with the smell of medicine. But no matter when he thought about it, that memory was beautiful, filled with sunlight and the fragrance of flowers. At that time, he also understood that he had always been concerned about Fourth Brother. Before he realized it, Fourth Brother had discovered it first. How good!
Yue Lingyi thought that if Fourth Brother was always around, he would not have to live alone. With this thought in mind, Yue Lingyi began to learn all kinds of medical knowledge crazily. He also understood Yue Lingyu’s illness and even began to treat it. However, after he treated Yue Lingyu, he realized that his relationship with Fourth Brother had changed.
Fourth Brother slowly began to look at him with the same gaze as others. Every time he approached, his body would instinctively tremble. He did not even speak to him much.
Yue Lingyi did not understand why. He thought that if he could do something for Fourth Brother, they could go back to the past, right? “Little Five, it hurts. I don’t want to treat it anymore…” “It hurts too much. I might as well die…”
“I-I really don’t want to treat it anymore. It’s fine…’
Every time Yue Lingyu said that he didn’t want to be treated, the invisible hand in Yue Lingyi’s heart would tighten. Finally…
“Fifth Brother, I’ll teach you how to make Fourth Brother not afraid of you.”
“But first, help me finish my homework..”
