Amused, Youyou tugged at his hand, pointing out what shouldnât be mentioned. âAre you crying?â
âNo.â Little Yichen denied it stubbornly, but anyone could hear that his voice was hoarse.
As an elder brother, he felt compelled to save face and not shed tears easily in front of Youyou. Now that his eyes were bloodshot, he naturally did not want Youyou to see it.
Youyou, however, did not stop and gently tugged at his sleeve again. âHey⦠Big Brotherâ¦â Again, the address of âbig brotherâ struck the most vulnerable part of Little Yichenâs heart. âBig Brother, I missed you. What about you? Did you miss me?â
Little Yichen lowered his head and chuckled. âYesâ¦â
âWell then â¦â Youyou was full of anticipation as he asked, âArenât you going to give me a hug?â
Little Yichen turned and finally looked at him.
Seeing his reddened eyes, Youyou chided, âWhy are you crying? Itâs not as though Iâm missing an arm or a leg. I look fine donât I?â
Little Yichen could no longer hold back and hugged him tightly. Yun Shishi looked at them with relief. The brothersâ reunion made everyone present sigh with emotion.
Gong Jie was deeply affected as well. Touched, he stepped forward and was about to reach out to hug the two brothers when Youyou looked up with a familiar icy expression. âGo away.â
The manâs expression froze. âIâ¦â
The gratitude in his heart was immediately replaced by embarrassment. Gong Jie was furious! He had, just a moment ago, been extremely touched by the emotional display of brotherhood. In the end, he was struck down by Youyouâs words.
âHey!â The man looked resentful. âCanât I hug you even if I want to?â
To think that he was touched! What a heartless fellow!
âNo, go away.â
The manâs suspicion grew. âWhen did Uncle offend you? Do you have to target me like this?â
âPfft! Did you offend Youyou or Gong Fan? Otherwise, why would he target you like this?â Since Yun Shishi asked this, Gong Jie gave it careful thought, but he could not figure out what he had done to offend his little nephew. He shook his head blankly.
Hua Jin said, âIt seems that you must have unintentionally offended the boy. Otherwise, of all people, why would he have chosen you as a target?â
Gong Jie spat, âHeartless fellow! Think about it; Uncle works so hard to support your little lover!â
âLittle lover!?â
Everyone was stunned. These words undoubtedly caused a stir. Alice had just arrived with Natalisa. When she heard this, she was caught off guard and laughed out loud.
Youyou blushed awkwardly at the remark. âWhat are you talking about?â
Yun Shishiâs interest was piqued. âLittle lover. What little lover?â
Gong Jie clearly did not know that Alice had just arrived with Natalisa in tow. He said solemnly, âSis, donât you know, it was this good son of yours who cried his eyes out and forced me to adopt Natalia back then. Any fool can tell that this fellow has evil intentions!â
Yun Shishiâs mouth fell open in surprise. âNo way. Youyouâs only young. Does he know all this? How could he have fallen in love at such a young age?â
âKids these days grow up fast.â
Youyou retorted unhappily, âWhen did I cry or force the matter?!â
âWho threw a hissy fit and made me adopt her?â
Youyouâs blush deepened. âI didnât!â
