Chapter 260 Going Home with Brother
Lin Xiaoyan leaned against the car without moving, his gaze fixed on Shen Feiwan like a chain.
He slowly extended his hand to Shen Feiwan only when she was almost beside him.
Shen Feiwan glanced at his hand, unmoved. "My second brother is back. Thank you. I've seen your strength."
Lin Xiaoyan smiled at her, "But is this all Wanwan wanted to say to me?"
He withdrew his hand. "You really don't remember what happened in the car that day?"
Shen Feiwan shook her head.
"Heh~" Lin Xiaoyan lowered his head slightly, let out a long breath, and then took half a step forward.
“I told you I’m easy to please now,” he said in a low voice. “You said that as long as your second brother comes back, he might coax me.”
While saying these words, Lin Xiaoyan kept observing Shen Feiwan's expression.
His gaze meticulously traced every change in Shen Feiwan's expression, and finally he confirmed it.
Shen Feiwan genuinely forgot; she wasn't pretending, she simply couldn't remember anything.
She didn't care at all about what she had said to herself.
This realization chilled Lin Xiaoyan to the bone. His jawline tightened abruptly, and a sharp pain flashed in his eyes.
Shen Feiwan had no idea what Lin Xiaoyan was thinking.
She was making plans in her mind.
Her second brother has returned, so she has achieved one-third of her goal.
She needs to use Xiao Yan's power twice more.
Perhaps she should give Lin Xiaoyan some sweetness.
But should she just give in to his wishes like that? Shen Feiwan didn't want to just let him have his way.
She looked at Lin Xiaoyan and raised her hand to brush the hair from her forehead.
Without the stray hairs to conceal it, the scar on her brow bone was revealed.
"Who's fooling whom?" Shen Feiwan asked.
Lin Xiaoyan suddenly smiled, the gloom in his eyes vanishing. "Okay, then I'll coax Wanwan."
He reached out and touched the scar on Shen Feiwan's brow bone, his thumb pad burning hot as he gently caressed the scar.
Then he lowered his head and gently pressed his thin lips to the scar.
His warm breath sprayed onto Shen Feiwan's cool skin. His kiss was light, like a feather brushing against her skin, yet it lingered long enough for Shen Feiwan to hear his deliberately suppressed breathing.
Shen Feiwan closed her eyes when she saw Lin Xiaoyan kiss her; he seemed very serious and absorbed.
But she didn't feel anything, nor was she immersed in it. She didn't close her eyes; she just silently lowered her eyelids.
While she was spacing out, Shen Feiwan suddenly saw Lin Xiaoyan being abruptly pulled away.
Immediately afterwards, a fist landed on his face.
Caught off guard, Lin Xiaoyan staggered and crashed into the car, his back hitting the metal with a dull thud.
"Second Brother." Only then did Shen Feiwan realize that it was Shen Xingyan who had made the move.
Shen Xingyan frowned, his lips pressed tightly together, his thin face expressionless.
He grabbed Shen Feiwan's wrist and asked his sister very seriously, "Do you still like him now?"
Shen Feiwan remained silent, and silence spread among the three of them.
Lin Xiaoyan stared intently at Shen Feiwan, not expecting her to change her mind and say she liked him right now.
But if it were in the past, she would have definitely said directly that she didn't like it.
But now, she is silent.
This is a change in her attitude.
This realization brought a glimmer of light to Lin Xiaoyan's eyes.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyan straightened up.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at the thin man in front of him. He didn't expect Shen Xingyan to be so ruthless despite his seemingly weak appearance.
“Xingyan,” Lin Xiaoyan loosened his tie and smiled, “we’ll be family from now on.”
He paused for a moment, then said, "Although you are younger than me, I still have to call you Second Brother, just like Wanwan does."
Shen Xingyan didn't even glance at him. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line as he stubbornly pressed his sister, "Do you still like him?"
Shen Feiwan raised her hand to scratch the itchy wound on her brow bone, avoiding the question, "Brother, let's go home."
"Okay." A look of mixed heartache and determination appeared on Shen Xingyan's handsome face, like a knight guarding a precious treasure. He tightened his grip on his fingers. "Come back with me."
Do you still like him?
Shen Feiwan raised her hand to scratch her itchy wound, avoiding the question, "Brother, let's go home."
Shen Xingyan swallowed hard, and finally uttered a single word, "...Okay."
He tightened his grip on his sister's hand, his clear but bloodshot eyes filled with heartache. "Come back with your brother."
With a 'bang,' the door slammed shut behind Shen Feiwan.
Shen Feiwan looked down at Shen Xingyan's hand that was holding her wrist and stopped walking.
"Brother, you should let me go first."
Because Shen Feiwan could feel that Shen Xingyan's hands were trembling.
She knew that this was the first time Shen Xingyan had ever hit someone on his own initiative, and he must have been very nervous afterwards.
He was a well-behaved child from a young age, with a slender and handsome appearance, and a very introverted personality, speaking very little.
He loved reading and was particularly fond of physics; he devoted most of his time to academic research.
My clothes are always completely black, from the inside out, because I don't know how to dress up or dress up.
He even reads journal articles during his mealtimes.
Yet, this same man just punched Lin Xiaoyan hard.
Even someone as carefree as Shen Feiwan had her eyes well up with tears just thinking about it.
Aside from necessary work and academic exchanges, Shen Xingyan rarely interacts with outsiders, especially girls.
But from childhood to adulthood, he was most afraid of Shen Feiwan crying.
Seeing Shen Feiwan's eyes redden, he raised his hand, not knowing where to put it, and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Shen Feiwan was almost amused by his helpless expression.
He hugged Shen Xingyan tightly, resting his chin on his brother's shoulder. "Aren't you tired? Look at your eyes, they're all bloodshot. You should rest in your own bed and sleep for three days and three nights."
Shen Xingyan finally found the words, "Then tell me, do you still like him? I asked you twice outside just now, why didn't you answer? He was kissing you, but didn't you say a long time ago that you wouldn't like him anymore? If you don't like him, how could he kiss you?"
This guy is extremely stubborn.
Over the years, he was the only one in the family who took his dislike of Lin Xiaoyan seriously.
Shen Feiwan released Shen Xingyan and looked at her brother, "You can't predict matters of the heart. After all this time, you've been in contact with him more often lately. You should go and get some rest. By the way, does your hand hurt?"
"Kind of."
Shen Feiwan snorted, "Silly brother, let me teach you. Next time you hit someone, hit them in the stomach. That way your hand won't hurt. A person's face is all bone. If you hit someone's face right away, you might break your own bones."
Shen Xingyan frowned. "You actually know so much about fighting."
Shen Feiwan smiled and said, "Go take a shower and go to bed. We have a lot to talk to you about when you wake up."
Shen Xingyan also had trouble sleeping during the investigation, and he is indeed very tired now.
After he went upstairs, Shen Feiwan instructed Shen Mo, "Dad, my second brother is the most innocent. Don't let him know about me and Lin Xiaoyan."
