Chapter 171: I Like You

After letting out a long sigh, Yan Yunci sent another message to her friend.

Xiao Yun: He told me that he has someone he likes. He has liked her for several years. I don’t know who that girl is, but that person can’t be me.

On the other end of the phone, Chen Yuhan felt anxious when he saw her reply.

Xiao Ai: Why do you think so? Maybe the person he likes is you.

Xiao Yun: He always calls me his sister and asks me to call him brother. He only thinks of me as his sister. It’s impossible between him and me.

As soon as Chen Yuhan read this, he immediately sat up and exclaimed, "You are wrong, I didn’t!"

He felt dizzy due to the sudden movement and needed a moment to recover. At this moment, he wanted to kill himself with a piece of tofu.

He always wants Yan Yunci to call him brother because he is jealous of others. Isn’t it popular for girls to call their boyfriends brothers nowadays?

He also wants to hear the girl he likes call him that. He wants her to act like a baby to him like other couples when she calls him brother. He doesn’t want to become her sibling at all!

"I have been digging a hole for myself for so many years," he muttered in disbelief.

Chen Yuhan wanted to cry, but he had no tears. He couldn’t blame anyone but himself now. Thinking that he needed to solve this problem as soon as possible, he quickly sent a message.

Xiao Ai: Xiao Yun, do you know that girls will call their boyfriends Brothers when they act like a baby?

Yan Yunci read this and opened her eyes in surprise. She never thought that "brother" had any other meaning besides being blood-related siblings!

Xiao Yun: So, you mean that my brother actually wants me to act cute like his girlfriend?

Xiao Ai: Yes. You can try calling him brother and see how he reacts.

Xiao Yun: But, he ignored me, how can I do this?

Xiao Ai: Then call him and see if he forgives you. If calling him brother makes him forgive you, then he does have feelings for you.

Xiao Ai: By the way, why did you suddenly have this idea? Do you have feelings for your brother?

Chen Yuhan stared at the phone without blinking, biting his lips like a teenager and waiting for Yan Yunci’s response.

After a long time, he finally got a reply.

Xiao Yun: I don’t know.

Xiao Yun: When he told me that he no longer cared about me, I felt very sad. No, I feel like I have been thrown into an ice cellar. My heart felt like a hole had been dug, it hurt so much, and my whole body was numb.

Xiao Yun: But compared to the moment when he told me that he had someone he liked, the pain was nothing. I feel like I’m dying when I think about how I’m not the most important person to him. I tried my best not to cry, but the tears still flowed out.

Xiao Yun: At that moment, I knew that he was the most important person to me, more important than my grandfather. I don’t want to lose him, but I want him to be happy. I told myself that since he has someone he likes, I should be happy for him. But I couldn’t. I couldn’t bring myself to be happy for him. I can’t even smile.

Xiao Ai: Is this the reason for your sudden departure?

Yan Yunci was so focused on her own feelings that she didn’t see the message before it had been withdrawn.

Xiao Ai: This message was deleted.

When she sees the chat, she only sees this notification.

Xiao Yun: Xiao Ai, what did you post? Why did you delete the message?

In the hospital, Chen Yuhan really wanted to slap himself because he didn’t notice Yan Yunci’s feelings.

How could he hurt her like this?

Thinking of her pale face when she left, he felt like a scumbag.

While he was still thinking about how to respond to Yan Yunci, his cell phone rang suddenly.

Seeing the caller’s name, he immediately picked up the phone and said, "Yunci."

Then he waited for a while, but there was no sound from the other party. He thought the call had been hung up.

He looked at the screen and found that the call was still connected, and said, "Yunci, why did you call me?"

Hearing his gentle voice, Yan Yunci felt like crying. She choked up and couldn’t utter a word.

Chen Yuhan waited but still didn’t hear any sound. He frowned and asked, "Yunci, are you okay? What’s wrong? Say something. You are making me worry."

Not long after, he finally heard Yan Yunci’s hoarse voice calling him softly, "Brother..."

As soon as Chen Yuhan heard her calling him brother so softly, his face and neck immediately turned red. Because they were on the phone, he felt like she was whispering in his ear.

"Brother, can you stop being angry with me? Don’t ignore me, okay?"

Listening to the hoarseness of her voice, Chen Yuhan’s eyes were red and tears welled up in his eyes. He took a deep breath, suppressed his heartache, and asked, "Yunci, why?"

"Why don’t you want me to ignore you? Just because I’m your brother? Just because I’m your friend?" he asked.

Hearing this, Yan Yunci shook her head. But then she realized they were on the phone and Chen Yuhan couldn’t see her. So, she said, "I never considered you my brother or my friend. But, you are a very important person to me."

Chen Yuhan’s hope was ignited and he said, "Yunci, I hope we can become a family, but I will never treat you as a sister. I hope we can become a real family."

"Yunci, I like you. Can I be your boyfriend?" he asked softly.
