Chapter 67: Chapter 67: An Elder Brother is Born to Support His Younger Sister Chapter 67: Chapter 67: An Elder Brother is Born to Support His Younger Sister “Ugh…”
The Lu Youye, who had just been causing a scene at the Fu Family’s house and fiercely defending Lu Sheng, looking as if he wanted to bite Fu Chen and Chen Ruyun, now held his sister, his eyes turning red.
He pulled the girl completely into his embrace, his eyes filled with pain that was about to overflow, and said angrily, “That damned Fu Chen, when we get back to school, I must find a chance to beat him up again.”
“Shengsheng, it’s all brother’s fault, I didn’t protect you well.”
Lu Youye released Lu Sheng and carefully lifted her hand, which still had pieces of a vase lodged in the palm. “Does it hurt…? I’ll blow on it for you. Should we go to the hospital now?”
Si Yan frowned slightly, raised his hand to rub the back of his neck, but his gaze couldn’t help but fall on the wound in the girl’s palm.
*Going to the hospital would require registration, waiting in line, and a whole lot of procedures. It would be faster if he helped her deal with it.*
“No need to go to the hospital,” said Lu Siyan, who had been looking aloof the whole ti, unexpectedly speaking up, “I have a full set of tools and dicines in my room at ho. I’ll disinfect and dress it for her when we get back.”
“Huh?” Lu Youye was stunned for a mont. “Is the sun rising in the west today? Second Brother, you haven’t been ho in a million years, and now you actually want to co ho with us?”
“I haven’t been ho for a long ti. I’ll be staying at ho for these few days.” Lu Siyan spoke without expression, yet a hint of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes.
*He would never admit that he wanted to return to the Lu Family because of the girl.*
When they got back ho, Lu Siyan gave Lu Sheng a calm glance and said to her, “Co with to my room, and I’ll treat your wound.”
“Okay.” Lu Sheng nodded obediently and followed Lu Siyan upstairs.
Lu Siyan didn’t live at the Lu Family ho and indeed hadn’t been back for a long ti. But his room was cleaned daily, so it was still very clean.
The decor style of the room could reveal the owner’s personality.
Lu Youye’s room, whether the furniture or decorations, fit the rebellious and flamboyantly free style of a teenager.
While Lu Siyan’s room imdiately revealed that its owner was definitely obsessive-compulsive and a clean freak, perhaps even a perfectionist Virgo.
The air was filled with the scent of cool cedar. The surroundings were pure white walls, in a completely minimalist design with no surplus furniture or decor—pure and exceedingly simple.
A bed 1.8 ters wide, with a light gray pillow and quilt. To the left of the bed, there was a desk, and next to the desk, there was a tall wooden bookshelf filled with various dical books.
On the right side of the bed was a tall human skeleton model, looking quite eerie at first glance. It was unknown if Lu Siyan would get startled if he woke up in the middle of the night.
“You can sit on my bed. Anyway, I’ll have soone change the sheets later,” Lu Siyan comnted, “I’m going to get the dical kit.”
What Lu Sheng didn’t know was that, even if the sheets were going to be changed, Lu Siyan had never allowed anyone other than himself to touch his bed in his entire life.
When Lu Youye was mischievous as a child and used his bed as a trampoline, Lu Siyan returned from school with a cold face and had the bed replaced imdiately.
*He was born with a cold nature.*
*The bed was an absolute personal domain, and he always resisted anyone getting close.*
*But now…*
Lu Sheng sat at the edge of the bed. Not long after, Lu Siyan ca out of the cabinet with a large first-aid kit, pulled up a chair, and sat in front of Lu Sheng.
“Give your hand,” Lu Siyan said.
Lu Sheng extended her hand toward Lu Siyan.
By now, the blood on the wound in Lu Sheng’s palm had coagulated, and her entire hand was stained red with the blood that had earlier flowed out.
The girl’s hand was very fair, which made the red blood even more striking. Looking closely at Lu Sheng’s palm, Lu Siyan’s expression was neutral, yet his hand trembled slightly.
It wasn’t just one shard in the girl’s palm, but four or five small fragnts embedded there. These pieces had been stuck in her palm for so long, *it must have hurt imnsely.*
*But the girl hadn’t cried out in pain from beginning to end—whether at the Fu Family’s house or the whole way in the car.*
Lu Youye looked more in pain than she did, howling all the way and cursing Fu Chen and the Fu Family the entire drive.
But the girl only comforted him, saying she wasn’t hurt, she was fine, and urged him not to worry.
*How could it not hurt.*
*If it were Lu Qianrou with such an injury, she might have had tears in her eyes the whole day, seeking comfort from their older brother and Youye.*
“I’ll first wipe the dried blood clean,” Lu Siyan said.
“Okay,” Lu Sheng responded softly.
Lu Siyan found an antiseptic wipe from the dical kit, pinched the corner of the wipe with two fingertips, and ticulously wiped around Lu Sheng’s injuries.
These were hands accustod to holding a scalpel.
The fingers were long and articulated, with nails cleanly trimd and tidy, almost excessively beautiful.
As he wiped, the faint veins on the back of his hand subtly stood out, appearing cool and restrained.
After using five or six wipes, he finally managed to clean all the dried blood stains.
Lu Siyan took out tweezers from the dical kit, took a deep breath, and said, “I’ll remove the small fragnts… let know if it hurts.”
The tweezers grabbed the largest shard, and as he pulled it from her flesh, the girl couldn’t help but gasp softly.
Soon, blood began to flow out of the wound again.
“Does it hurt a lot?”
“Yes.” The girl replied lightly.
“…”
Lu Siyan’s thin lips pressed together slightly, and for this man who was always indifferent to anyone, his expression was unexpectedly gentle in front of the girl.
He put down what he was holding, reached into the pocket of his trousers, and surprisingly pulled out a cute-packaged Wangzai milk candy.
Noticing the girl’s sowhat surprised look, Lu Siyan’s gaze was ever so slightly unnatural.
He pursed his lips without speaking, just lifted his hand to tear open the candy wrapper and then handed it to Lu Sheng’s mouth.
“Ah…” Lu Sheng instinctively opened her mouth, then was fed a piece of candy by Lu Siyan.
The sweet, milky flavor instantly spread in her mouth.
Lu Siyan suddenly leaned closer, his handso face magnified in front of Lu Sheng as he quietly said, “Eating candy will make it not hurt. I’ll be gentler.”
“Mm, thank you, Second Brother.”
Lu Sheng chewed on the milk candy in her mouth; it was quite sweet.
Upon hearing “Second Brother,” Lu Siyan’s heart softened abruptly.
The girl in front of him was his half-sister.
*She was soone who would fearlessly save a stranger’s child on the street, could score perfect marks on a full set of exams in forty minutes, was the Chief Traditional dicine Practitioner’s only closed-door disciple, and was not at all fragile despite suffering injuries.*
*She was the excellent younger sister he had missed for seventeen years.*
*Since Lu Siyan was aware of himself, he had always felt very lonely.*
*It was less that he was inherently cold and unwilling to connect with people, but more that he felt out of tune with the world.*
*The familial affection within a wealthy family couldn’t et his needs or give him the warmth he craved as a child, so as he grew up, he simply distanced himself and stopped having any expectations.*
*Beneath the shell of indifference lay an empty and soft heart. He never really understood how to fill the void and loneliness.*
*But today, when he saw Lu Jingyan and Lu Youye united in their protection of the girl at the Fu Family’s house,*
*In the car, as Lu Youye was clamorous and wouldn’t let go of the girl, and the older brother kept nagging at her, whether concerned about her and Li Muchen, or worried about her being discussed online,*
*The car was chaotic; he should have been annoyed.*
*Yet, at that mont, he only felt that sothing deep within him had been stirred.*
Having given Lu Sheng candy, Lu Siyan continued to treat her wound.
Once all the fragnts were removed and the wound was disinfected, Lu Siyan took out gauze from the dical kit to dress Lu Sheng’s wound.
Seeing him focused, Lu Sheng casually remarked, “During lunch, Brother Lin Yi said that yesterday when Second Brother first saw , you were so disdainful that you didn’t even want to touch or hold .”
Lu Sheng said, “I thought Second Brother really disliked .”
Lu Siyan paused montarily in his action of wrapping the gauze.
Once the right hand was all bandaged up, Lu Sheng stood up from the edge of the bed.
She had just straightened up to express her gratitude when she was suddenly hugged by Lu Siyan, who was more than a head taller than her.
“…Second Brother?”
The mild, pleasant scent assailed her senses. Lu Sheng called out from the man’s chest, only to hear Lu Siyan say softly above her head, “…not dislike.”
He lifted a hand, placing it on the girl’s smooth long hair, his voice still clear and cool, “As for the necklace, I’ll give you a prettier one.”
“You’re the sister; a brother’s duty is to protect his sister and back her up.”
“So in the future, there’s no need to be so sensible. When in pain, speak up; when wronged, speak out, understand?”
