Chapter 18 My brother will love you forever
The breeze blew, and the corner of the young man’s open school uniform flew up.
He held the pretty girl in front of him by one hand, with a serious look on his face, as if he was telling her the most important words in his life.
The clouds in the sky were fluttering, and a dazzling light shone past. The ignorant girl couldn't help but close her eyes and raised her hand to cover her forehead.
Under the blue white clouds, on the quiet rooftop, the boys and girls standing opposite each other seemed to be the most intense epitome of youth.
Unfortunately, this is not a confession scene.
Xi Ruan put down his hand, already confused.
She thought she had a pretty good mind, but she couldn't figure out why he dragged her here and suddenly said these words that sounded like poisonous chicken soup.
But looking at Jiang Lingsi's cold face, she thought it would be better to agree first.
Xi Ruan nodded slightly while facing Jiang Lingsi's knife-like eyes, indicating that he understood. Then he looked down and pointed at his wrist.
Jiang Lingsi glanced at her thin white wrists, raised his eyebrows slightly, calmly let go of his hands, and put his hands into his trouser pockets.
"Do you remember what I said?" Jiang Lingsi emphasized again because he was afraid that she would not take it seriously.
Xi Ruan nodded.
Jiang Lingsi thought about it again and again, but still couldn't hold it back, "Not even my brother, do you understand?"
Xi Ruan frowned, not knowing what the hell he was talking about, he was just about to prepare With a perfunctory nod, the door to the rooftop was opened.
"What can't you do even if it's me?"
——
Shen Jiashu appeared at the door, his usually gentle and smiling face now expressionless.
Xi Ruan and Jiang Lingsi both looked at him. Jiang Lingsi tightened his hands in his pocket, feeling a little guilty.
According to the description of the plot, the reason why Xi Ruan finally listened to his brother and spared Liu Yue was because she had always liked him.
Moreover, judging from the way his brother specially invited someone to the bookstore before, he clearly liked Xi Ruan. As for why he fell in love with Liu Yue in the script, Jiang Lingsi knew that it was Liu Yue's fault without even thinking about it.
The script was completely written from the perspective of Liu Yue. It tells the story of Liu Yue as a substitute + fake who was adopted after the daughter of a wealthy businessman lost his daughter. After the return of the real daughter, Liu Yue was persecuted and ostracized by the real daughter. She was helpless. Then transferred to Deming Middle School.
Xi Ruan's first appearance was described as gloomy, narrow-minded and extreme-minded. It was said that Xi Ruan was jealous of Liu Yue's singing voice because he was mute, while Liu Yue kept talking to Xi Ruan enthusiastically because he didn't know it. Instead, she pushed her to the ground. Fortunately, her classmates sought justice for her.
The plot beautified Liu Yue so white and flawless that it was impossible to tell that he was a sinister person. He even suspected that Liu Yue had written the script himself.
Later in the plot, it was described that Xi Ruan was jealous of Liu Yue because he liked his brother and targeted Liu Yue many times because of his brother's love, but he was resolved by Liu Yue cleverly and tactfully.
Although Jiang Lingsi knows that these things must be inaccurate and biased, some facts can also be seen. Otherwise, given Xi Ruan’s ruthless attitude in the later period of the book, if he didn’t really like his brother, why would he let him go? Liu Yue wants revenge.
But now, he was secretly advising Xi Ruan to be wary of his brother... as if he was inciting other people's feelings.
"Ling Si, don't you explain to me what happened?" Shen Jiashu approached Jiang Lingsi, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed.
He didn't know what was going on with these two people, but thinking about Ling Si's usual attitude towards girls, he was worried that Xi Ruan would be wronged. After getting the news, he quickly came over and heard this sentence.
Jiang Lingsi didn't know how to answer. He pursed his lips, put his hands in his pockets, and turned his head to look into the distance.
"Ling Si, speak!" Shen Jiashu's eyes were as sharp as arrows and he asked sternly.
At this moment, Xi Ruan, who was watching silently from the side, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
It was only then that she discovered that the eyebrows and eyes of the two people were surprisingly similar.
It’s just that Shen Jiashu always smiles, while Jiang Lingsi always has a cold face, distant and sharp. Their temperaments are completely different, and Shen Jiashu’s facial lines are much softer than Jiang Lingsi’s, and they are not as three-dimensional as Jiang Lingsi’s. Profound, at first glance there is no way to connect the two, nor do they seem similar.
Xi Ruan blinked and looked at the two brothers who were in a stalemate. Shen Jiashu still looked like he was going to torture Jiang Lingsi, but he was meddling in other people's business by accident.
She took a few steps forward, stood between the two of them, faced Shen Jiashu, and blocked Jiang Lingsi.
For a moment, both Shen Jiashu and Jiang Lingsi were slightly stunned.
——
Xi Ruan raised his head, smiled at Shen Jiashu, and then shook his head slightly.
Although she was still smiling, she could see the disapproval in her eyes.
Even if what Jiang Lingsi said was messy, Xi Ruan knew that he meant no harm and the mention of Shen Jiashu was probably just an example.
It was as if he was reminding her that she should stay rational even when facing someone like Shen Jiashu who seemed so nice.
So she didn't want to see Jiang Lingsi scolded by Shen Jiashu like this.
Shen Jiashu was obviously a little surprised by Xi Ruan's actions. He softened his expression and said softly: "Ling Si didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Jiang Lingsi's eyes widened when he heard this. He moved slightly, glanced at the delicate figure of the girl in front of him, and then turned his head to look at the ground in the distance.
Xi Ruan blinked, as if wondering why he asked such a question, and then his slender hands started to dance.
She pointed at herself, then put her palms together, then pointed at Jiang Lingsi, put her middle and index fingers together and clicked, and finally raised her thumbs and touched them a few times, then raised her eyes. Smile.
Very simple sign language.
She is saying - we are friends.
Shen Jiashu understood it, but didn’t believe it at all.
How could his brother have female friends? Xi Ruan probably said this because he was afraid that the two of them would quarrel.
He secretly sighed at the girl's kindness, and was unwilling to betray her kindness at this time.
Shen Jiashu said "Okay" warmly, then asked Xi Ruan to wait here, and stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Lingsi away.
"Ling Si, you dare to act like a man, what have you done?" Shen Jiashu lowered his voice.
Jiang Lingsi closed his eyes impatiently, breathed a sigh of relief, smashed the jar, and said in a lazy tone: "I'm here to warn her not to be confused by men, not even you, that's it. "
Shen Jiashu's expression changed when he heard this, and his eyes gradually became darker and more complicated when he looked at Jiang Lingsi.
Jiang Lingsi could almost imagine his brother's cold face towards him from now on.
Although he usually thought he was like a little old man taking care of him, now the only relatives who really care about him are his brother and his aunt.
Suddenly his shoulders sank. Jiang Lingsi glanced at the palms on his shoulders and turned to look at Shen Jiashu.
Then his eyes flashed and his voice trembled: "Ling Si, I never thought that you are so dependent on your brother..."
"Don't worry, even if my brother falls in love and has someone he likes, he won't ignore you."
"So you don't have to be so nervous. If you find out that I have someone you like, you will change the warning. Her brother will love you forever."
Jiang Lingsi frowned as he was tightly hugged by his brother.
What is this mess? !
——
When Shen Jiashu, Jiang Lingsi and Xi Ruan appeared in the corridor and went to the cafeteria, the excited melon-eaters frantically took photos and spread the news.
Everyone praised Jiang Lingsi, the student council president, for his brother, who really had a way to stop Jiang Lingsi, and even made the two of them make peace and sit at the same table to eat.
At this time, Jiang Lingsi was immersed in eating, and felt helpless when he heard that Shen Jiashu next to him seemed to be afraid that Xi Ruan would be frightened and still said good things to him.
For the first time, he knew that Shabaitian could not only describe girls, but also his brother.
But he didn’t want to explain it clearly, so let’s leave it at that.
Jiang Lingsi raised his eyes again and looked at Xi Ruan diagonally opposite.
The girl had a sweet smile on her bright white face, silently listening to everything her brother said, and responding with some expressions from time to time.
His long, straight and thick eyelashes drooped, and the emotions in his dark eyes made it difficult to see clearly.
If she were not mute, she could also respond to others with her own voice.
I don’t know what the sound of this soft bun sounds like.
Just as the thought flashed across my mind, there was a "beep" in my mind, and a familiar voice sounded again.
[Congratulations to the host for initiating the main quest!
Task content: Please find out the truth behind [Xi Ruan]’s silence and her hidden identity within 30 days without resorting to other external means, and try to eliminate some of [Xi Ruan]’s blackened value. Become best friends with [Xi Ruan]! 】
Jiang Lingsi put down his chopsticks and silently checked the other contents of the task interface.
At the same time, Liu Yue, who had finished her meal and was about to walk out of the cafeteria, looked at Xi Ruan and the boy opposite her from a distance, with a cold smile on her lips.
It turns out that this is her noble person. (End of this chapter)
