C167 Gratitude (1/2)

After the incident with their first family member, the relationship between the two brothers had become somewhat distant.

Shangguan Shu hadn't seen Old Third for a long time. It was as if Old Third had vanished from the face of the earth, and there was no news of him at all.

His father had also sent out a large number of people to search for the whereabouts of his third brother, but there was no news of him.

One winter day, Ol 'Three returned.

The appearance of a person looked exactly the same as when he left. It was just that some things had already changed completely.

”Why did Big Brother come to my room?” Shangguan Li's voice was a little soft, but it contained a strong impatience.

In the past, his favorite thing to do was to chat with his big brother, but now …

”You left for a long time. I came to ask, what have you experienced outside?” Shangguan Shu sat down in front of Old Third.

Shangguan Li put down the book he was reading, it was a secret martial arts manual. He lifted his head and stared into his big brother's eyes, his gaze calm. ”I'm not in a good mood, let's go for a walk.”

”Is that really the case?” Shangguan Shu was a little suspicious, because when he came back, the feeling he gave off was very different.

Shangguan Li sneered, ”Or else?”

His big brother was still as gentle as before, but this kind of gentleness disgusted him. It wasn't that he didn't need his big brother's protection, but that he just hoped that everything would go well for him.

”Actually, if you have any dissatisfaction in your heart, you can tell me.” Shangguan Shu spoke sincerely.

Perhaps the days of love talk were long gone, but if there was even the slightest possibility, he wanted to give it a try.

Shangguan Li stood up abruptly, both hands on the table, his body bent down as if looking down from above. ”Big brother, do you like me?”

Shangguan Shu was speechless, his eyes widening as he looked incredulously at his third eldest brother's face.

It seemed that neither of them could guess the other's thoughts.

The two sides faced each other for a long time before Shangguan Shu finally turned his face away, saying softly: ”You are my little brother, I naturally like you.”

However, Shangguan Li refused to give in, saying in a cold and overbearing tone, ”Look into my eyes and tell me, do you like me?” You know what I mean. ”

Since things had come to this, it would be meaningless to speak frankly and hide.

After leaving the spirit mountain for a few months, he coincidentally met an expert. He suddenly thought that if he became strong and didn't need his elder brother to 'protect' him, then would it be a type of release for both of them?

With this in mind, he worked hard just to lighten his burden.

In addition, the reason why she was cold to him was because she hoped that he would ”retreat after knowing the difficulties” and stop giving it to her without caring about anything else.

They were both thinking for each other's sake, but they had all hurt each other in the process.

”Are you joking? We are half brothers. ” Shangguan Shu said with unquestionable affirmation.

In this matter, he definitely could not be weak. Ol 'Three was younger than him and was younger than him, so what about him? As the eldest brother, he could not bring Old Third along with him as he had ”wandered off on the wrong path”.

Shangguan Li's head moved closer, and their lips were about to touch. ”I want you to answer my question personally, you only need to answer yes or no.” His eyes suddenly became bloodshot. This was the result of a long period of sleepless nights.

He didn't know what the meaning of this answer was, but there were some things that were difficult to understand.

Since they had just met, he might as well clear everything up and come up with a plan for the future.

”No.” Without the slightest hesitation, Shangguan Shu spat out these two words.

Shangguan Li straightened up, clapped his hands and smiled. ”Very good.”

This is very good. Humans are easily let their imaginations run wild. They thought that the other person's love for them was the so-called love, regardless of their life or death. Actually, they were wrong, extremely wrong.
