Chapter 460 - I Like My Older Brother Too (2/2)

She could only understand half of what the middle-aged man had said.

Yin Muchen slowly turned back, He squatted down, reached out, and touched Yin Shuiling’s beautiful little face. He smiled quietly, with sarcasm and desolation in his laugh. “Shuiling, they all said my father was a thief. My mother ran away with other men. They don’t want me anymore. I am an orphan.”

Yin Shuiling’s small, fair, and tender hands crept up to his handsome face when she heard that. She muttered, “Older Brother, you are not an orphan. They don’t want you. I want you. I want Older Brother!”

Yin Muchen grasped her soft little hand and held it tight in his palm. The girl’s face was innocent and pure, and her big eyes were full of heartache for him.

“Shuiling, even if people all over the world say so, I don’t believe it. My father would not embezzle public funds. He is not a thief. My mother is not vain and superficial. She would not run off with other men. My parents have a good relations.h.i.+p. My father leaves work on time every night. There is a roast chicken stall outside his company. My father would buy roast chicken every day. But he couldn’t bear to eat it. Whenever he’d come home, he would say that he had already eaten it. He wanted me to eat it with my mother, but my mother would say that she doesn’t like meat and left it for my father to eat.

“Yes, my mother is very beautiful, and a college student. We lived in a bad environment. Those men would always peep at my mother… My mother would stay at home all day and knit for me until my father comes home from work.”

“Our family lived happily. I don’t know why it suddenly became like this.”

Yin Muchen felt something wet on his face as tears plopped down. The tears in his eyes plummeted to the ground like beads from a broken thread.

He had cried.

The 18-year-old boy had gone through such an incident. He had become an orphan overnight. He did not know what to do. He was confused, and he could not find his direction.

He doesn’t like smoking, drinking, skipping cla.s.ses and watching adult movies. He just felt that life was boring and his heart was fl.u.s.tered with boredom.

He curled himself up with his arms around his knees and cried bitterly.

Yin Shuiling’s nose soured. This was her first time seeing her older brother cry. She felt devastated when her older brother was crying.

She went forward, put out her tender arms, and hugged her older brother’s head, and glittering mist came out of her eyes. She pouted her little mouth and cried, “Older Brother, don’t…be sad, *sobs*. Older brother, you still have Shuiling. Shuiling likes you. Shuiling will always be with you. Wuu…”

At this time, pa.s.sers-by walked pa.s.s, and everyone looked sideways. In that dark corner, the dirt was filthy. Even the white ash on the wall had fallen off a layer and was full of holes, but the two children who had not grown up wept together, crying so sadly…and warmly.

Yin Muchen had cried enough. He reached out and wiped away his tears. He looked up. The little girl was out of breath from crying. When she saw him look up, she helped him wipe his tears with a little tender hand. “Wuu, Older Brother…”

Yin Muchen’s heart melted. He put his hand around her waist and let her sit on his lap. He coaxed her softly. “Alright, Shuiling, let’s not cry anymore. Older Brother won’t cry in the future. This is the last time.”

He had cried because he had been sad and depressed for too long.

Maybe he wouldn’t cry without this little girl beside him.

After all, it has been this way for half a year, and he had not shed a single tear.

Once the wound in his heart was comforted and revealed by others, the opening of the wound would grow wider and wider.

But he wouldn’t cry anymore.

A man should not shed tears, only blood.

He did not believe that his parents would do that. There must be some secret he did not know. With his current ability, he wouldn’t be able to touch that world at all. What he needed to do most was to make himself stronger.

Only when he had become stronger could he protect the people he loves.

…

Yin Muchen changed. He no longer rebelled. He accepted all the gifts from the Yin family.

Every day, he wore famous branded clothes and went to school in a private car. He transferred to an aristocratic school and soon made his mark in the school.

This teenager was born with some gifts. He had a handsome and extraordinary appearance and a talent with numbers. Even though he was indifferent to everyone, his name swept throughout the entire campus.

People had joked that the Yin family was full of talented people. The Yin family’s young lady, Yin Shuiling, had the hearts of all the men in T City, while this Yin Muchen had captured the hearts of all the ladies.

While Yin Shuiling felt happy for her brother, she also had numerous troubles, because she had received many love letters, flowers, and chocolates for her brother.

That day, she was standing at the school gate while waiting for her brother as before, when suddenly, two beautiful girls came running over.

“Hi, Yin Shuiling, are you Yin Muchen’s sister? This is the scarf I knitted for your brother. Please pa.s.s it to him,” the girl said.

Yin Shuiling looked at the scarf. Instead of reaching for it, she knitted her eyebrows and childishly said, “My brother has a scarf. He doesn’t need you to give him one.”

The girl looked shy. “Sister Shuiling, this scarf is different from others. I like your brother.”

At Yin Shuiling’s age, she didn’t know what “like” meant. She just felt that the beautiful elder sister and the scarf were very annoying. She puffed her exquisite cheeks. “I like my older brother too. It’s enough for me to like my older brother alone. He doesn’t need you guys,” she said in a crisp voice.
