C164 Be confused (2/2)

Shangguan Li lowered his head. ”The poem Big Bro accepted just now was not very fitting for the occasion.”

That was clearly a love poem, but when it came to brotherly feelings, it was really a bad scene.

”You don't like it?” Shangguan Shu's body exuded a unique aura, with a hint of allure. Perhaps it was due to the business that he had seen so many people, so even his smile was very warm to the heart.

Shangguan Shu pulled his arm, and the two brothers sat down at the stone table, ”Big brother brought you a present.”

After saying that, he took out a paper fan from his sleeve.

The paper fan had a strange skeleton and had a strange fragrance to it.

Shangguan Li was ecstatic as he held it in his hand. ”How did you get it?”

Sure enough, it was his big brother who understood him and knew what he liked.

”A friend gave it to you as a gift. I felt that you might like it, so I accepted it.” There was no need to be polite, so after that, he gave something else to his friends.

Interpersonal communication was just like this. There was no way to obtain it forever, nor was there any way to grant it to others.

”Big brother is kind.”

Every time his elder brother came back, he would bring him a gift. Naturally, he was overjoyed, but the thing that truly made him happy was not his gift, but rather, his elder brother.

”There's no need to be so polite with me. Come, quickly tell your big brother. What interesting things have happened in the past three years?” He had always been out on the streets and didn't have much time to spend with the Gu family, so he could only find out from others what had happened.

”The interesting thing is nothing, but there's something troubling at the moment.” As Shangguan Li said this, he let out a long sigh.

Shangguan Shu's interest was piqued, ”But for someone?”

”Exactly.” Shangguan Li was even more depressed. ”Father is too impatient. He wants me to marry Yuyin and bring her home as soon as possible. He said that we will get married and start a new business. When I get married, he will pass on the position to me.”

”Then what do you think?”

”What can I think? I can't live a life with a stranger. ”

Since ancient times, he had been ordered by his parents to be matchmakers, but he didn't want to follow these orders. How could a marriage without feelings be blissful?

”If you don't want to marry her, then you can only let big brother do so.” Shangguan Shu's eyes drooped as he spoke, feeling rather helpless in his heart.

The Shangguan family and the Lee family had an early engagement, which meant that Li would have to marry one of them.

His father had his own selfish thoughts, so he must have given priority to Old Third. If Old Third didn't agree, then he would have to be the one in charge.

Shocked, Shangguan Li hurriedly said, ”Absolutely not!”

”Why?” Shangguan Shu asked calmly, his face expressionless, but in his heart he was very concerned about his answer.

”Because …” Shangguan Li's right hand gripped the paper fan tightly. ”I can't be this selfish.”

In the past few years, his elder brother had helped him a lot, but in this matter, he absolutely could not ask him to help.

”Sometimes I wish you'd be a little selfish.” Shangguan Shu stood up and left.

His back was lonely, the scenery beautiful, and the feelings strong.

Shangguan Li had watched his eldest brother leave countless times, but this time, he felt that he had gone through too much.

In the past, when his elder brother was riding a horse carriage away from Spirit Mountain to do business, he would chase after the horse carriage for several miles, crying as he chased. At that time, he wished that the horse carriage would stop and allow him to talk with his elder brother.

Every time his big brother left, he would always be depressed for two to three days. His heart was empty, and his biggest fantasy was that his brother would suddenly appear in front of the door and give him a bright smile.
