Chapter 544 My brother doesn’t seem to be the same (1)
In the end, the tug-of-war ended with Yun Qian's victory.
Yun Qian followed Yi Xun into the house. The two were not far away, and she could smell the faint smell of alcohol on Yi Xun's body, which was not unpleasant.
Even after drinking, Yi Xun didn't look drunk on his face. Instead, he was very sober, no different from usual.
"It's still the same room. The servants should keep their clothes in the cabinet. If you need anything, you can go to them directly." Yi Xun said in a calm voice.
Yun Qian nodded, "I know, it's not the first time..."
Yi Xun said nothing more, turned around and wanted to go upstairs, but was stopped by Yun Qian: "Brother."
"how?"
"Are you going to the study to continue working later?" Yun Qian asked.
"Ah."
"Stop working. If you drink, it's better to rest early."
When the girl mentioned it like this, Yi Xun seemed to really feel the surge of alcohol, but for just a moment, it was like an illusion.
Inexplicably, he nodded along with Yun Qian's words.
.........
There were no classes the next day, so Yun Qian slept peacefully until almost ten o'clock in the morning. When she woke up, she was confused.
When she rubbed her eyes and went out, she happened to meet Yi Xun coming downstairs carrying a coffee cup, "Brother, good morning."
Yi Xun glanced at her and said lightly: "It's quite early."
"........."
When Yi Xun walked down the stairs, Yun Qian made a face at Yi Xun behind his back.
The temperature at home was just right. Yun Qian was wearing short sleeves and long trousers. Because of her fair skin, the marks of frequent needle pricks on her arms were particularly obvious, but she didn't seem to mind anything.
Yi Xun's eyes inadvertently fell on the bruises on Yun Qian's arms, and he frowned slightly unconsciously.
The girl took a sip of milk, leaving a milk stain above her lips, like a kitten's beard.
"Brother, don't you have to go to work today?"
"Need not."
"Then brother will be at home all day today?"
"Ah."
Yi Xun was leaning against the highly designed bar counter, waiting for the coffee to be ready. He responded to Yun Qian's words one after another, with the words of brother and brother echoing in his ears.
"Brother, can you tell Grandpa Yi that I won't go back today?"
Yi Xun turned his head with a half-smile, "Are you still addicted?"
Yun Qian licked the milk stain at the corner of his mouth, and held a very small distance between his thumb and index finger, "Just a little bit."
"........."
There are really questions and answers.
Yun Qian looked at Yi Xun pitifully, but Yi Xun didn't reply. There was only the low hum of the coffee machine between the two of them.
Is it out of compassion? Yi Xun couldn't bear to drive people away.
The girl had an unlucky background and was not well treated when she was adopted. You can tell by the bruises on her arms.
Such people seem to be born with the ability to arouse people's sympathy.
It's just that Yun Qian doesn't need other people's pity or pity. She is a flower that grows toward the sun, and she can decide her own future.
In the end, Yi Xun started off by saying, "I won't do this next time."
The coffee was ready when the machine made a "ding" sound. The man picked up the coffee and went upstairs without looking back.
---
The sharp needle point was pulled out of the skin, bringing out a little or two of donated blood, which was then wiped away with a cotton ball.
Yun Qian calmly pressed the cotton ball and said hard work to the family doctor. The family doctor shook his head and said, "It's okay. The amount of blood drawn this time is a little larger. It's better for me to sit down and rest for a while."
"it is good."
The family doctor exited Yun Qian's room. Yun Qian sat on the bed, covering her cold arms with the quilt.
Yi Xue's condition has improved recently, so a large amount of blood is needed to support multiple injections. During this period, Yun Qian did not go to school and stayed at the Yi family manor.
After pressing the cotton ball for a few minutes, Yun Qian threw the blood-stained cotton ball into the trash can and picked up her cell phone to harass her brother as usual.
Yi Xun didn't often reply to Yun Qian's messages, and even when he did reply, it was very brief, with "ok", "um", etc., and the most common question marks.
Yun Qian looked at the time. Yi Xun should have gotten off work by this time, so she made a video call.
Yi Xun didn't answer the phone very quickly. Yun Qian was just about to use the camera to tidy up her appearance. As soon as she twirled her hair twice, Yi Xun's face appeared on the phone.
He was probably sitting in the back seat of the car. The light in the car was very dark. Half of Yi Xun's delicate features were hidden in the darkness, and half of them were shrouded in weak light. He lowered his eyelashes and looked at Yun Qian with a strange posture, half-smiling.
Yun Qian: "..."
Why does it happen every time?
It was the same last time in the elevator, and it's the same now.
Yun Qian felt that his reputation was in jeopardy.
Although the girl on the screen smiled brightly, her face was pale and she seemed to have lost weight.
Yi Xun frowned in the darkness.
Before Yun Qian said anything, the screen suddenly shook, and another young man's face appeared on the screen.
The young man's face was full of gossip. When he saw Yun Qian on the screen, his eyes lit up. He turned to look at Yi Xun: "You're such a good boy, secretly looking for a girlfriend behind our backs, right?"
"Hello, girl, I'm Yi Xun's brother. You called me... Damn, Yi Xun, why are you pushing me?!"
On the screen, another man was pushed out of the screen, and the moaning continued.
"Not a girlfriend, just a sister."
Yi Xun said this while looking at the man outside the camera, so he didn't notice the girl's smile stiffen for a moment.
"Sister...when did you have such a beautiful sister? Don't you only have a sister, Yixue?"
"Tsk, you talk a lot." Yi Xun glanced at him, and the chattering man was quiet for a moment.
Yi Xun's eyes returned to the screen, and his brows that had just relaxed due to the man's gag wrinkled again.
"Are you sick?" Yi Xun asked.
Yun Qian shook her head obediently, "I'm not sick, I just had my blood drawn."
"Does my face look bad?"
Yi Xun nodded.
"It's okay, it'll be fine in a moment."
Yi Xun didn't even nod his head at this time, and neither of them spoke for a while, but the man next to him spoke first.
"Hold up your phone and don't talk. Do you communicate with your thoughts? Come on, let me talk to my sister."
The man snatched Yi Xun's cell phone away, "Sister, how old are you this year?"
"Are you looking for someone? If not, look at my brother."
Yun Qian was amused by the man's ups and downs tone. Before she could respond, another person's face appeared on the phone screen, and the background sound that followed was the man's wailing.
"A gentleman talks but never moves his hands!"
Yi Xun sneered, "She is still underage, don't think about old cows eating young grass."
"Who are you calling an old cow? I'm only a month older than you."
"........."
The girl on the screen laughed so hard that her teeth were blinded by the interaction between the two, and Yi Xun's frown suddenly relaxed.
Yun Qian smiled so much that tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She wiped the corners of her eyes and looked at Yi Xun's face on the screen.
"Brother, I don't want to stay here."
"Can you pick me up?"
