Chapter 1072: Can I Hug You

“Ah?”

Wanting clutched her suitcase handle nervously, feet together, her whole body tensed with slight anxiety.

Yaen Chi immediately added, “Such a small suitcase, you’ve packed everything?

What about your books?”

Wanting visibly relaxed, “The books have already been sent to Capital Medical University.

The suitcase just has some clothes and daily necessities.”

Her entire belongings were really just in this small suitcase.

Yaen Chi had always thought women’s clothes come in heaps, needing dozens of suitcases, but Ye Wanting was the only exception in his life.

Really,

so simple.

“If you lack anything, let me know, I’ll get it for you.

If you have any problems at your new school, contact me.

Also, I’ve topped up your meal card for you; I have acquaintances over there who helped arrange it.

You can’t refuse, and I didn’t do anything else.”

Ye Wanting indeed wanted to refuse, but just as she was about to, Yaen Chi stuffed her words back.

He didn’t even give her time to react, lifting his hand to ruffle her hair, “Be good, don’t cause trouble.

If someone gives you a hard time, push back.

If you can’t handle it, let me know.”

“Brother Chi…”

“Since you’re leaving, try not to come back to Rongcheng City if you can avoid it.

It’s no big deal.”

Something caught in Wanting’s throat; she had so much she wanted to say, but his words came so fast and dense that they choked her own, and when she tried to speak, the words were not the ones she initially thought of.

So she replied in a daze, “Mm.”

Yaen Chi curled his lips into a smile, resting his hand on her hair, unable to bear moving it for a long time, until she started feeling uneasy.

Only then did he pull his hand back.

“Off you go, it’s almost boarding time, I won’t keep you.”

Wanting nodded, “Brother Chi, you…

take care of yourself.”

That’s all she managed to say after holding it in for so long.

She might as well have simply thanked him.

Yaen Chi said, “Your brother’s got two years before turning thirty, not that old yet.”

“Then, um, make sure to eat well, don’t work too hard, don’t drink and drive.

If, if you ever feel tired, call me.”

Yaen Chi raised a surprised eyebrow, “Call you?

How would you comfort me?”

Looking at his smile made Wanting a bit dazed, “I…

I can listen.”

He chuckled quietly, a soft laugh rarely heard from him, different from his usual laughter, tinged with tenderness.

“Got it,” he gestured behind her, “hurry on inside.”

“Then, I’m leaving.”

“Mm.”

Wanting turned around, took a few steps, then wanted to look back, but the man called out faster than she expected: “Little sister.”

“Ah?”

She was startled by the term, turning back so quickly, completely forgetting to hide the surprise on her face.

Yaen Chi walked over, reached out to tap her on the forehead, “Can your big brother hug you?”

“Ah…

ah?” her voice hitched in a stutter.

“No other meaning, just farewells should have something like that.

I don’t feel like crying, maybe it’s just the atmosphere isn’t there yet, but maybe a hug would help find the feeling?”

Carefully, Wanting stepped back half a step.

He said, “Just a hug, to send you off.”

Had these words been said on any other day, Wanting’s spirit might have been frightened away.

She knew Yaen Chi had many, many girlfriends, and he was always gentle with them, but when bringing them out to gatherings, he never acted inappropriately in front of everyone, nor had anyone ever seen him hug someone.

But he should be very experienced, right?
