Shen Yuechuan’s question precipitated Xiao Yunyun’s surging tears. She said in a trembling voice, “No!”

“…”

Shen Yuechuan didn’t expect Xiao Yunyun to say no so directly, and he didn’t know what to say for a while.

Xiao Yunyun had been silently enduring it for a long time. She hysterically added in a hoarse voice as if she was venting her feelings, “Lin Zhixia is not okay at all!”

“Yunyun!”

Shen Yuechuan’s tone was harsh, with a hint of warning in his voice.

“Be quiet!” Xiao Yunyun flung caution to the winds and rushed to Shen Yuechuan like an out-of-control lion. “Don’t ask me who is okay. Any woman you like is not okay!”

Shen Yuechuan showed a gloomy look. “Do you know what you’re talking about?”

“Of course I know!” Perhaps Xiao Yunyun was tired of shouting, her voice softened, and she begged carefully, “Shen Yuechuan, don’t marry anyone else…”

What she wanted to say was very obvious.

But Shen Yuechuan thought that as long as Xiao Yunyun didn’t confess her love, he would continue to pretend that he didn’t understand to allow for the remedy for the current situation.

He made up his mind and told Xiao Yunyun cruelly, “I’ll get married sooner or later. Even if it’s not Lin Zhixia, I’ll marry someone else…”

“No.” Xiao Yunyun kept shaking her head. “Shen Yuechuan, don’t get married. Don’t be with anyone else…”

She was like a lost little animal, helplessly grabbing Shen Yuechuan’s sleeves with both hands, with tears keeping coming out of her eyes.

If it weren’t for Shen Yuechuan, she would always smile like a flower, be inattentive, and live a carefree life.

Shen Yuechuan endured the heartache and reminded Xiao Yunyun, “Keep your head clear…”

“I told you I’m very clear-headed!” Xiao Yunyun burst into tears and suddenly shouted at the top of her voice, “Shen Yuechuan, I like you!”

“…”

There were confessions from different people every day. Shen Yuechuan had lived for more than 20 years, and he had received countless confessions.

But only Xiao Yunyun’s confession was like a sharp knife stabbing into his heart, which made him unbearably painful.

Xiao Yunyun liked him, and he liked Xiao Yunyun, too.

However, they couldn’t be together.

They were siblings. How could he violate the law and ethics and be with his sister?

It was Xiao Yunyun’s secret that she fell in love with Shen Yuechuan.

This secret had always been stuck in her heart, and it slowly turned into a big stone.

At this moment, the big stone was finally removed. She no longer felt a great weight inside her, and her breathing no longer made her heart painful.

Perhaps, she shouldn’t have regarded falling in love with Shen Yuechuan as a secret, and she shouldn’t have tortured herself either.

Xiao Yunyun felt relaxed now.

She looked at Shen Yuechuan and blurted out her feelings for him, as well as the grievances she had suffered in the past few days.

“I don’t know when I fell in love with you, perhaps on the island, or on the overnight shift when you accompanied me. In short, I fell in love with you a long time ago, and I knew that you were my brother long ago.”

Shen Yuechuan couldn’t hide his shock. “When did you find it out?”

“A few days after you accompanied me on the first overnight shift.” With that, Xiao Yunyun burst into tears again. “I was waiting for you to come and confess your love to me, and I saw your information in my mother’s study. I accidentally knew that you were my brother. Shen Yuechuan, do you know that the fact almost drove me crazy? Why would this joke happen to me?”

Xiao Yunyun asked the final question pitifully and unwillingly.

Shen Yuechuan wanted to comfort her, but when he thought of what Xiao Yunyun had suffered alone at that time, he suddenly realized that the overdue comfort was so ridiculously pale.

“Shen Yuechuan, on the next morning after the night shift, every sentence I said to you was serious,” Xiao Yunyun continued, “I hoped you can confess your love to me and I wanted to be with you. I didn’t have a real, romantic relationship with Qin Han. Mom has always suspected that I like you, and she is afraid that revealing your family background will be a blow to me, so I pretended to be dating Qin Han. I don’t like Qin Han. I like you. I only like you!”

How much effort did she spend to keep her secret of falling in love with him?

At this moment, she was hell-bent. Obviously, she didn’t care about anything.

Shen Yuechuan was greatly heart-broken. His heart seemed to have been continuously punched by someone, and it became soft little by little.

He narrowly controlled himself. He was almost going to hold Xiao Yunyun in his arms and tell her that she was not the only one who was suffering.

However, he could not be so selfish.

Ethics and laws did not allow them to be together at all. Otherwise, Xiao Yunyun would have to bear all kinds of criticism.

Even if the whole world allowed their romantic relationship, his illness would become an obstacle.

He did not know how long he could live and how long he could stay with Xiao Yunyun.

If he had an accident and left forever, Xiao Yunyun would be ten thousand times more painful than she was now.

Therefore, it would be better not to give her hope from the very beginning and to let her find true happiness.

She had suffered alone for so many days. As long as he made up his mind to refuse, she would give up and go to live her own life.

He had already hurt her once, and he didn’t want to hurt her a second time.

“The person I love is Zhixia, and I will marry her.” Shen Yuechuan said coldly, “Don’t mess around.”

“Liar!” Every cell in Xiao Yunyun’s body refused to believe Shen Yuechuan’s words. “You did kiss me before!”

“…” Shen Yuechuan felt a sharp pain in his head. He frowned and looked at Xiao Yunyun. “I thought we had reached a tacit agreement that we wouldn’t mention that thing.”

“Even if you don’t mention it, you can’t deny that it really happened!” Xiao Yunyun forced Shen Yuechuan to look straight into her eyes. “Shen Yuechuan, you like me too. At least, you liked me, didn’t you?”

“Stop it!” Shen Yuechuan growled. “We’re siblings!”

“Don’t mention that!” Xiao Yunyun almost jumped up and shouted louder than Shen Yuechuan did. “I’m asking you, have you ever liked me?”

She wore a firm and determined look. It was obvious that she didn’t care about anything else.

Shen Yuechuan knew that if he didn’t give her an answer, it wouldn’t be over today.

“I don’t hate you, never.” Shen Yuechuan emphasized it word by word. “But I have never had a crush on you. Are you clear?”

“Liar!” Xiao Yunyun didn’t believe Shen Yuechuan’s words. She stared at him and asked, “Why don’t you dare to look into my eyes?”

Shen Yuechuan felt a sharper pain in his head.

This wicked girl, who usually seemed to be a pushover, turned out to save up all her strength for today’s outbreak.

He looked at Xiao Yunyun as if she was an unreasonable person. “You can’t force me to admit that I like you.”

Xiao Yunyun laughed and said, “If you don’t dare to admit it, I really cannot force you.”

Shen Yuechuan frowned even more and emphasized. “I mean, I don’t like you.”

“I don’t care!” Xiao Yunyun began to act shamelessly. “You kissed me! If you dare to say that it doesn’t mean that you like me, you are a jerk, a super jerk!”

Shen Yuechuan: “…”

He would rather Xiao Yunyun continue to cry. He was overwhelmed by Xiao Yunyun when she was full of fighting energy.

“Shen Yuechuan.” Xiao Yunyun began to goad him. “I’m a girl, and I’ve already been brave enough. Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

Shen Yuechuan glanced at Xiao Yunyun and replied, “Yes.”

Xiao Yunyun had thought that he was going to confess his love, and her beautiful almond-shaped eyes lit up. “Then tell me!”

Shen Yuechuan knew what Xiao Yunyun was looking forward to, but unfortunately, he had to keep calm.

He warned Xiao Yunyun coldly, “If you keep messing around, I’ll send you abroad tomorrow.”

“…”

Xiao Yunyun only felt a chill down her spine, and she instantly felt cold from head to toe.

At the moment she revealed her feelings for Shen Yuechuan, she was indeed impulsive.

But she did not regret it.

She didn’t want to suffer alone; she didn’t want to be sleepless in the middle of the night; she didn’t want to see Shen Yuechuan and Lin Zhixia be a couple.

That was why she had to throw caution to the wind.

Now, she needed a result.

But—Shen Yuechuan actually threatened her?

Xiao Yunyun was unhappy, very unhappy. She pouted like a child who didn’t get candy.

Shen Yuechuan was amused, but before he could laugh out loud, he saw Xiao Yunyun throw her bag on the sofa.

He had a very bad feeling. “What do you want…”

Xiao Yunyun arbitrarily interrupted Shen Yuechuan. “I want you! If you don’t agree, I’ll live in your house!”

Shen Yuechuan felt a burst of pain in the temples. “Xiao Yunyun…”

“Don’t ask more. I told you that my Mandarin teacher didn’t teach me how to be reserved!” Xiao Yunyun sat down on the sofa. “I won’t leave your house unless you tell me the truth!”

Shen Yuechuan was almost going to be driven mad. “You…”

“You’d better not say anything to my cousin.” Xiao Yunyun was fearless and added, “She has always suspected that I like you. If you dare to ask her to stop me, she will easily guess that I have confessed my love to you. How embarrassed you will be then!”

“…”

Shen Yuechuan had never thought that he would have no way to deal with Xiao Yunyun like today.

He stared at Xiao Yunyun and asked, “What about you? Don’t you feel embarrassed?”

It was embarrassing enough to just hear of a girl’s confessing to her brother.

In fact, Xiao Yunyun also knew that such a thing should not have happened.

However, compared with Shen Yuechuan, everything was insignificant in her heart.

Xiao Yunyun smiled and looked at Shen Yuechuan fearlessly. “For you, I have already lost my face. Shen Yuechuan, no matter what you think of me, I won’t allow you to propose to Lin Zhixia!”

Shen Yuechuan suddenly had a premonition. When he reacted, Xiao Yunyun had already taken away the ring on the tea table.

He was not angry, but just sneered and said, “Do you think I have no other choices?”

“Of course you do.” Xiao Yunyun said, “You don’t lack money. You can buy another one.”

Shen Yuechuan looked at Xiao Yunyun in disbelief. “Then why did you still do such a useless thing?”

“I just want to tell you,” Xiao Yunyun walked to Shen Yuechuan and added to threaten him, “that if you dare to propose to Lin Zhixia, I will eat this ring!”

Shen Yuechuan: “…”

“Don’t think that I’m just trying to scare you,” Xiao Yunyun continued, “Shen Yuechuan, I even dared to say that I like you, so I’m not afraid of anything. If you don’t believe it, you can try.”

Xiao Yunyun was currently like a lion that had eaten a ton of courage.

To achieve the goal in her heart, she could risk everything, including her life.

Shen Yuechuan had no doubt that Xiao Yunyun would really court death if he proposed to Lin Zhixia.

“Xiao Yunyun,” Shen Yuechuan ground his teeth and said, “how can you threaten me with your life?”

“Oh, are you threatened?” Xiao Yunyun lifted the corner of her mouth. “Then why did you still say that you don’t like me?”
