Chapter 279: Chapter 279 The Big Liar And The Little Liar

“You said Dongfang hasn’t gone to school for three days?”

“Not only didn’t she come to the school, but I also couldn’t get through to her mobile phone and her landline,” Chu Yuan’s eyes were red, “At first I thought she was skipping the school like how she normally did…”

Skipping the school like how she normally did? ! What kind of students were you guys? ! I was very surprised, but I didn’t interrupt Chu Yuan. I carried on listening to her, “that day I was very angry, but although I said that I wanted to go to her house and stay at her house for one day, it was mainly to check what happened to her. But when I went to her house today, I couldn’t see anyone. The gate of her house was locked… Elder Brother, did I do something wrong? Why are Sister Booby and Dongfang avoiding me?”

‘Dongfang disappeared?’ My first feeling was a surprise, and the second feeling was still a surprise. If only she could disappear forever.

Alas, I was too selfish and evil…

“That’s nonsense. Maybe something happened to their families. What does it have to do with you? Yuan Yuan, you really like to think too much.”

“How can there be such a coincidence that two people have problems at the same time? Besides, even if they have something to do, they don’t need to turn off their mobile phones, right?” The more Chu Yuan said, the sadder she was, her tears almost fell down from her eyes, “I must have done something wrong that upset them. Elder brother, am I a bad girl that no one likes?”

“Bullsh… I mean nonsense!” I got up angrily and said. Looking at Chu Yuan’s teary eyes, I calmed down the inexplicable angry emotion, stroked Chu Yuan’s head lightly, and coaxed her, “Even if Dongfang is angry with you, she won’t move home, right? Even if she didn’t mind all the troubles of moving homes, her family would mind it, right? Besides, what can you possibly do wrong, I have never seen a good little sister who is more sensible than you…”

“You haven’t seen it because you only have one little sister, and that is me!” Chu Yuan pushed my hand away and finally cried out, “all you know is to say nice words to me and coax me, but I know my own problems! I have a bad temper, and I’m selfish and lazy. I always ask Sister Booby to help me revise the chapters, but I don’t understand how stressful her own study is. I always make excessive requests to Dongfang, asking her to do something that she may not want to do. I always let her take the blame for me…”

“Let Dongfang take the blame for you? What blame? Yuan Yuan, have you done anything bad? !” Chu Yuan’s words reminded me of the story that Lv Siqi once told me. In middle school, a girl who liked him was jealous of Chu Yuan and wanted to harm her, but in the end, Dongfang used a paper-knife to disfigure the girl…

Dongfang Lianren suddenly disappeared. Couldn’t it be that something similar had happened again? Maybe it was because I encountered a lot of troubles recently, so I subconsciously thought that it could be something bad. Could it be that Dongfang that little brat was trying to hide from the police?

“Bad thing?” A trace of panic flashed in Chu Yuan’s eyes, and the expression of guilt was all over her face, “it’s not really that bad, right? It’s just… I pulled a prank on you once. You didn’t notice it, but Dongfang noticed it, so she took the blame..”

Chu Yuan couldn’t finish the sentence and stopped abruptly. She was both embarrassed and ashamed.

“You pulled a prank on me once? Which one are you referring to?” I was a little confused.

Chu Yuan was taken aback when she heard the words. Then she hurriedly said, “What do you mean by that? Have I pulled a prank on you many times before? ! Why are you so annoying? I’m talking to you about Sister Booby and Dongfang. Can you stop changing the topic? !”

Why did I feel that Chu Yuan was deliberately trying to avoid talking about it? Was it because she didn’t want to tell me about when she had teased me?

“Alright, alright, I won’t ask about this again.” Although curious, I answered with a smile and stopped asking her. But her answer also made me realize that the so-called blame she said was actually referring to the harmless pranks, it was not the Juvenile delinquency I thought. It seemed like my attitude toward Dongfang was really biased, and it needed to be changed.

After Chu Yuan complained in an annoyed tone, her eyes became red again. I continued to comfort her, “didn’t you say that Dongfang’s mother came back from abroad last time, so could it be that she is with her mother now? Maybe it’s a rare occasion for them to get together, so they might go out for a few days together. Dongfang may seem to be very independent and rebellious, but after all, she is still only a sixteen-year-old child. She must also like to be with her mother. Maybe she is too happy that her mother would take her out, so she forgot to contact you for a while.”

Girls in the rebellious period were never honest about their feelings. Wasn’t Chu Yuan also the same? She said that she disliked me, but she liked to cling to me like a little tail of mine. Presumably, Dongfang was the same. Maybe because she rarely saw her mother, so she yearned for her mother’s love.

I didn’t know why Chu Yuan insisted that the reason why Little Minx and Dongfang didn’t contact her was because they disliked her, but after listening to what I said, she nodded in agreement, “what you said seems to make some sense. Although Dongfang always said that she didn’t like her mother, she liked to talk about the topics related to mothers to me. Every time when she heard how dumb my mother was, she would be very envious. So probably it is really like what you said, she actually hopes to be with her mother… Hee hee, deliberately not contacting me, she must be feeling embarrassed. Yes, it must be this. Whenever she talked about her mother, she would put on a cold and indifferent look, so she must be afraid that I would be laughing at her after I discovered that she actually liked to stay with her mother.”

Chu Yuan knew Dongfang Lianren’s character better than I did, so she finally stopped worrying. I smiled and carried on, “as for your sister Booby, don’t worry. You probably don’t know. Sister Xingyu and her are not only alumni, but also childhood friends that grew up together. She mentioned to me two days ago that she often saw her at the university recently…”

Chu Yuan was surprised, “really?”

“Why do I need to lie to you about this?” I pressed the Kitty cat on Chu Yuan’s head and smiled, “I will ask Xingyu to ask Yike why she is not contacting you recently tomorrow. So don’t think too much about it. It’s getting late now, go to bed and sleep early. Be a good girl.”

I should really find some time to talk to Xiao Yike. Men should be more generous and forgiving. Besides, avoiding each other was not the best way to solve any problems.

“Don’t ask her,” Chu Yuan suddenly pouted her small mouth, her big bright eyes looking at my thigh, and said in a slightly angry tone, iIf it weren’t for her and that Guo person inviting you to go to a banquet, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt. So I don’t want to ask her for help. If Sister Booby and Dongfang are really not angry at me for lying to them, then they will definitely contact me soon. Elder Brother you need to stay away from those two jinxes in the future, do you understand?”

Why did this bratty girl always like to get angry at other people? I was confused.

I naturally ignored her warning and asked, “you lied to Yike and Dongfang? Yuan Yuan, lying is wrong, why did you lie to them? ”

Chu Yuan blushed, took the Kitty cat from her head, and hugged it tightly in her arms. She said angrily, “you are the biggest liar, you are not qualified to educate me, this little liar. I will apologize to them someday. Do you think everyone is like you? Huh! Clearly, it was you, who lied to me, but I had to apologize to you. You are so thick-skinned…”

This bratty girl stuck out her little red tongue. made a funny face to me, and then ran away. Before I even reacted, she who had run out of my room poked her head out of the door and said with a smile, “Elder Brother, if Dongfang or Sister Booby come to our flat tomorrow, I will still sleep with you again, so you have to recover quickly. I move a lot during sleep, so I don’t want to cause any pain to you.”

Hearing this, my heart skipped a beat. Before I spoke, Chu Yuan carried on as she propped her index finger under her chin, “is it too damp in the room so the sofa is still damp? Should I push the sofa to the balcony tomorrow to get some more sunlight?…”

I was dazed and unconsciously clenched my hands. It was at this moment, I was surprised to find my palms were covered with sweat…

“Mhm, I think it is better that way…”

“Okay then. I’m too weak, and you have a leg injury, so let’s move it together tomorrow morning.” Chu Yuan covered her face with Kitty, shook its round paws, and voice-over the toy cat with a sweet and cute voice, “Stupid pig, don’t stay up too late, I will be on duty to catch mice at night, so I will come to check at night. If you dare not listen to Yuan Yuan, I will scratch you to death for her. Meow. Night night.”

I chuckled relievedly. It seemed that I had been thinking too much. The reason why Yuan Yuan liked to cling to me was not only because our relationship had gotten a lot better recently, but also because she was still young, so she liked to act like a pampered little girl in front of her elder brother. But I actually thought that it was her who made the sofa damp. I seriously needed to stop having those unrealistic and dirty thoughts.

Although Yuan Yuan felt embarrassed to say those words to me directly, it was obvious that she began to take the initiative to get closer to me and accept me as her elder brother. It seemed that my years of hard work finally started to have some results.

However, I didn’t know why in my chuckle, there was also a faint of disappointment. I really wanted to find out, but I also didn’t dare to find out.

I was a man after all, so having a little dirty thought was normal… I comforted myself this way, but at the same time I couldn’t help but question myself: Chu Nan, in your heart, was that really just a little dirty?

I didn’t know, because I didn’t dare to know…
