The 99th Divorce

Chapter 2187: Stressed Out

Yu Chulin stood and watched Li Mosen for quite some time before shaking his head helplessly and chuckling.

“That brat’s hostility is too obvious,” he thought.

“His intentions are very apparent as well,” Yu Chulin mused.

He then unplugged his power bank and turned to return to his room.

As he passed by the second floor, he could clearly see Ersu’s head sticking out of her room, she was looking around earnestly.

“Goodnight,” Yu Chulin greeted.

Li Jianyue beamed at this and replied, “Goodnight, Brother Chu. Since it’s a weekend tomorrow, shall we head to the amusement park?”

Yu Chulin nodded and agreed, “Sure.”

He had been smiling gently at her the entire time and his smile was as pleasant as a breath of fresh air.

Li Jianyue blushed and nodded before she scurried back into her room.

Yu Chulin then heard footsteps behind him. As expected, he saw a hostile looking Li Mosen when he turned around.

Li Mosen was holding onto a glass of warm water and it was steaming.

Yu Chulin merely took one glance at it and said, “Ersu asked me out to the amusement park tomorrow. I’ll head upstairs first.”

Li Mosen stared at him as he went up the stairs and only continued to make his way to Li Jianyue’s room after Yu Chulin was gone.

Yu Chulin could still feel Li Mosen’s eyes on him so kept his posture straight as he calmly walked away.

He could not help but muse over Li Mosen’s antics.

When he reached the third floor, he spotted Li Jianqian leaning beside the door to his room.

Li Jianqian watched Yu Chulin and said, “Mosen grew up watching Ersu. It’s not just him. I wouldn’t allow you to make a move on my sister either. Don’t take his words to heart.”

Yu Chulin smiled and assured, “Not at all. Go catch some sleep.”

He then took his leave. When Yu Chulin was back in his room, his smile gradually faded.

Li Jianyue’s flushed face flashed across his mind and he realized how he felt about her.

“I merely like her as a younger sister. Why do all of them guard me as though I’m a thief?” he wondered.

…

Li Mosen entered Ersu’s room with the glass of water and instructed her gravely, “Ersu, high school is the time you should be paying attention to your studies. I won’t demand anything else from you but please don’t fail. You have to make it to the same university as me, alright?”

“Huh?” Li Jianyue wondered as she accepted the glass of water. She was slightly confused but agreed to it anyway, “Oh, ok.”

After Li Mosen left, she drank the water and rolled around on her pink, princess bed. She could not seem to sleep at all.

As she hugged her small, pink, heart-shaped pillow, her imagination began to run wild.

She thought about what Nanny Rong had said today as well as Li Mosen’s strange behavior. She then recalled all the things that Li Mosen had just instructed her with.

Eventually, Yu Chulin’s fair, clean and cheerful face surfaced in her mind.

His eyes looked like beautiful crescents whenever he smiled.

His expression was also doting and gentle whenever he looked at her and it felt as if he was going to absorb her into his heart.

Li Jianyue blinked and suddenly wondered if Yu Chulin was actually in love with her.

“Is that why Nanny Rong said such a thing? Is that why Brother Mosen said those things?” she pondered.

“Oh my god. No way!” Li Jianyue exclaimed, finding it rather unbelievable. “Is this for real?”

“Yu Chulin is like an older brother to me. What should I do if I start to feel puppy love for him? Will it be just like what I’ve experienced during middle school? What if I no longer see him as an older brother?” she deliberated.

All of a sudden, Li Jianyue felt as if she had grown up and all her feelings suddenly became complicated.

Hugging her tiny pillow, she stared at the ceiling gloomily.

“Oh man. It’s so stressful to be the romantic interest of someone I see as an older brother. What should I do?” she thought.
