Love in Exile 49 If I weren't your older brother
If I weren't your older brother
"Brother, does Xiaoshu sister like you?"
On the way back, Ning Zhiyun sat in the passenger seat, looking at the shadow of the leaves passing by his brother's handsome profile, and asked.
Ning Zhiyun had never been in love, and to the group of boys who surrounded her, she seemed like a silly and slow-witted girl, always treating them as if they were just good buddies.
But towards her brother's affairs, she seemed to be particularly sensitive. Just now, when she stuffed rice into her brother's mouth, she secretly observed the reactions of her brother and that female soldier. She saw that Shu Peiwen was clearly gazing at herself with a deep and mysterious gaze. And Shu Peiwen's half-closed almond-shaped eyes staring at her brother's resentful yet speechless expression made Ning Zhiyun 100% certain about her previous thoughts - this female soldier liked her own brother, and it wasn't just an ordinary infatuation, but a crazy obsession.
"Yuner, don't talk nonsense, it's not true!" Ning Xi didn't turn her head and remained focused on the front, but her right hand accurately and gently massaged Yun'er's hair, soothingly stroking it.
How could he forget the intense displeasure that Li Yonglin and An Xiang had brought to his sister? Now, facing his sister who had rushed thousands of miles to him, he was even more reluctant to hurt her in the slightest, fearing she would misunderstand and be distressed, so he hastily denied it.
"Brother, you really dare to say that, implying that Little Shu sister is not your type anymore. You really think I'm a fool! She's a girl with a thin face, and if you dig deeper, it's no different from rejecting her directly. Didn't you see that she turned black-faced on the spot? If you don't like her, it's okay to reject her like this. But brother, I'm really worried, with your current iceberg-like appearance, when can you get a boyfriend?"
After many days of self-reflection, Ning Zhiyun still cared about her brother's lifelong event. Whether it was a man or a woman, she always hoped that someone could accompany her brother.
The car headed towards the hospital. Along the way, the streetlights cast a dim yellow glow on their faces, making it impossible to discern each other's expressions, only able to see the blurry outlines of one another.
"Yuner, I've said it before, as long as I have you, that's enough for me!"
Ning Xi only repeated the sentence he had said more than once, turned his head, and his sister's face, which was even more beautiful in a daze, slightly raised towards him. Under the dim light, her eyes sparkled like stars. Her gaze at him had always been pure and innocent, and such a sister might not understand the true meaning of this sentence. But he did, and by saying it out loud, he had already placed his heart in an irreversible position.
Ning Zhiyun would not know, of course. Years of military life had long worn away his brother's picky young master habits, and now he was not particular about food. But the few bites of rice just now were the best meal he had ever had in all these years at this base. The flavor still lingered, even now.
For a few seconds when the car met head-on, the other's car lights flashed past the face of his sister that made him think day and night. He sincerely hoped and fantasized that until he was old, with white temples and wearing reading glasses, shaking hands to pick out the fish bones for Yuner, whom he loved most, and then his sister, also with white temples, would use shaky hands to feed himself mouthful by mouthful. Such a hope, I don't know if it will be an extravagant wish!
He doesn't force any physical contact that violates ethics and morality with the woman he deeply loves, even if it's just platonic dependence, he will go all out to pay and retain.
"Brother..." Ning Zhiyun opened her mouth to say, she was just his sister and couldn't stay by his side forever. Indeed, she still couldn't understand the true meaning of her brother's words. But what she was about to say was interrupted by a sudden ringing sound, so those words were abruptly cut off, and Ning Xiyu's heart was also preserved because of this phone call.
"Hello, I'm Ning Zhiyun!" She answered the phone.
"Xiao Yun, where are you now?" came Chu Fan's anxious voice over the phone.
"Oh, Fang Ge, I'm at my brother's place. Is there something going on?" Ning Xi, who was standing nearby and the only one who heard this nickname, immediately perked up her ears and held her breath.
Ning Zhiyun naturally didn't know either. In the afternoon, a phone call from his brother made him suddenly go crazy like he had lost his soul, driving around T City and L Da's corners, calling non-stop, but getting only voicemail responses.
"What?! You're with your brother? In the army?" Chu Fan's anxiety was visibly alleviated, and the huge weight that had been pressing on his heart all afternoon finally lifted. After all, knowing she was safe and sound was a great relief.
"Ah! Brother Fang, you have something urgent to find me? Ah...... right, I forgot to ask for leave from you!" Ning Zhiyan still had a confused look on her face, completely unaware that her sudden disappearance not only worried her parents and brother but also made Qu Chu Fan lose his soul like he lost half of his life.
"Ah...... That's nothing much, when are you coming back?"
Qu Chu Fan is now so happy that he can't even keep up, let alone go to blame her for that small matter. At this moment, he wishes he could grow wings and fly to her side immediately.
"See you in a few days, Fan Ge. My phone is running out of battery, let's talk about this later when I get back to T City." The low battery alert sounded on the phone, and Ning Zhiyun hastily hung up.
The car had stopped in the hospital's parking lot at some point, but Ning Xi Wei hadn't gotten out of the car. Instead, she was leaning against the window, scrutinizing her sister. The parking lot was surrounded by bright spotlights, and Ning Xi Wei's deep eyes were filled with a complex expression that made Ning Zhi Yun's heart tighten.
Such eyes, these days, Ning Zhiyun had seen them in her brother's eyes several times, but she still didn't quite understand the meaning behind them.
"Yuner, what if... what if... there was a man who looked and acted just like your brother, but he wasn't actually your brother. Which one do you think you would like more, him or Ou Chufan and An Xun?"
Ning Xi hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question that was on her mind. If he had lost to another man just because he was her brother, then she could accept it! But if she told him, even if he wasn't her brother, would he...
Just as he was afraid of getting a cruel answer, Ning Zhiyun suddenly rushed into his arms and lifted up her small face.
"Brother, you are you, and you are the only one in this world. There is no such thing as 'what if', it's impossible! In this world, the person that Yan'er loves most is brother!"
Ning Zhiyun didn't even realize that she had inadvertently made a promise that would change everything, because to Ning Xiyu's ears, her words were no different from saying "Brother, I love you!".
