SC Chapter 21
by VolareYun Muye continued chatting with Guo Xi and the others: “What are you trying to say?”
Yun Duanyue: “Don’t rush, there’s more.”
“After our parents divorced a month after that incident, Mom made a phone call in front of me.”
“I asked her who it was, and she told me without hesitation, ‘My childhood sweetheart.'”
Yun Muye was clear about this, as he had seen it with his own eyes.
“Mom was right, she gave up that childhood sweetheart for Yun Jun.”
Yun Muye shrugged his shoulders: “Then why didn’t she want us?”
The voice on the other end was tinged with sobs: “I don’t know.”
Yun Muye: “Talk about Yun Jun.”
Yun Duanyue gave a “mm” and continued, “You don’t know the details of Yun Jun’s situation. He pulled me close to him and threatened in my ear, ‘Don’t show any reluctance towards your brother.'”
Yun Muye’s breath hitched for a second.
But it was precisely this second that changed too many unsolvable things.
Yun Muye: “Keep talking.”
“After being taken home by Yun Jun, he told me to take good care of my body, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to marry in the future.”
“Then, a week later, he brought back a woman.”
The two said in unison: “Her name is Hua Sheng.”
Yun Duanyue was somewhat incredulous: “You know her?”
Yun Muye nodded: “Yeah, because of some bad things.”
A gust of wind came from the other end of the phone, and then it started to drizzle.
“Oh, the weather is just like that day. Hua Sheng didn’t treat me well, let alone that dog Yun Jun.”
“They seemed to only have one requirement, ‘As long as I’m alive.'”
“Then, they took away my phone. I escaped yesterday, and then…”
“I found your phone number, Brother. You are the family member who loves me the most, so, will you take me home?”
Yun Muye chuckled lightly, twirling the walnuts in his hand: “Then didn’t he tell you about Grandma’s death?”
“He just briefly mentioned it, summing it up in one sentence.”
Yun Muye: “…” Grandma not only doted on him but also treated her own son very well.
But he didn’t expect that her death was only worth a single “death.”
Yun Muye: “The day Grandma died, I was the only one who went to the hospital. Grandma remembered that ungrateful son of hers until she died.”
“But I didn’t have enough money. Grandma has neither ashes nor a tombstone.”
Yun Duanyue: “Yun Jun didn’t tell me about this…”
Yun Muye got up, put on a coat, put a hand warmer in his pocket. After this questioning, he understood the grievances between her and Yun Duanyue.
“Send me an address, I’ll come now.”
Yun Duanyue’s voice was tinged with excitement, as if her brother, whom she had missed for a long time, would appear by her side in the next second.
The rain outside was getting heavier, and there were very few people on the street. A bicycle drove across the empty zebra crossing, splashing water.
Yun Muye looked at the dilapidated building in front of him and scratched his head in confusion.
He didn’t expect that a small alley with very little traffic could actually accommodate a building.
After pushing the door in, Yun Muye pressed the button for the upper floor, and the elevator arrived.
The scene inside was truly terrifying…
A pile of garbage was piled up in the corner, emitting a stench. Anyone who didn’t know better would have thought it was a horror movie set.
Yun Muye endured the nausea and walked in, holding his breath throughout the entire process, enduring the ear-piercing noise.
When he reached Yun Duanyue’s floor, the light in the corridor was very weak, with only a broken lamp struggling to stay on.
“Brother… is that you?”
A beam of light suddenly shone on Yun Muye’s face, causing Yun Muye to block it.
Turning his head, he saw a woman standing opposite him.
The woman’s face was haggard, her figure was thin, her eyes were dim, and she was holding a flashlight in her hand.
Yun Muye asked vigilantly, “Who are you? Where’s my sister?”
The woman’s pupils constricted, and she was incredulous at Yun Muye’s words.
“Brother, I’m Yun Duanyue!” the woman shouted.
“What?!” Yun Muye was stunned in place. The woman in front of him looked nothing like his sister in his memory.
But based on those eyes that were exactly the same as his, Yun Muye was sure that this somewhat unfamiliar woman was Yun Duanyue.
“How could you…”
Before Yun Muye could finish speaking, there was a head in his arms.
Yun Duanyue hugged him tightly, afraid of losing the only family member in front of her again.
Yun Muye: “…” After a moment of fatigue, Yun Muye hugged Yun Duanyue.
Yun Duanyue didn’t hug him for long and raised her head, saying, “Brother, let’s go inside and talk.”
Yun Muye nodded.
Inside the room, the two sat face to face under the warm yellow light, telling each other what was on their minds.
Yun Duanyue was almost scared to take off by what Yun Muye said.
“You’re saying, you have a same-sex lover?”
Yun Muye said this with confidence: “Of course, he’s super handsome, his grades are good, and the key is that he’s liked me for a long time.”
Yun Duanyue immediately became gossipy, saying, “Oh? Didn’t someone say they were straight?”
Yun Muye waved his bangs: “When I give up.”
“Oh, there’s one more thing…” Yun Muye’s face darkened.
Yun Duanyue: “What?”
Yun Muye: “Yun Shang…”
Yun Muye told Yun Duanyue about the Yun Shang incident at the barbecue restaurant word for word.
After listening, Yun Duanyue’s face also became serious: “Cousin Yun Shang, he’s not like that.”
This was normal. Yun Duanyue’s impression of Yun Shang stopped three years ago.
“People’s hearts change. Under the so-called beautiful face, there will also be a heart as dirty as Yun Jun’s.”
Yun Duanyue worried, “Then what should we do? This could very well affect your relationship with Duan Sirong!”
Yun Muye shrugged: “What can we do? Could it be that we sue Yun Shang?”
With that said, Yun Muye entered a phone number in the WeChat search box and sent a friend request to that WeChat account.
“No matter what, let’s go back to my house first.”
Yun Duanyue nodded.
When they arrived at Yun Muye’s house, Yun Duanyue’s hanging heart finally came down.
Although the area of the house was small, this… was what a home should look like.
Yun Muye looked at Yun Duanyue, who was stunned at the door, and felt a little helpless in his heart: “What are you standing there for? Come in.”
Yun Duanyue found a pair of slippers in the shoe cabinet, which fit well.
A phone call came. Yun Muye turned on the phone and saw that the number… was Duan Sirong’s.
The time he had spent picking up Yun Duanyue was probably more than just an hour to him.
Duan Sirong’s tone was somewhat teasing: “Oh, you’re back?”
Yun Muye quickly turned off the speakerphone.
“How did you know?”
Duan Sirong: “I saw you. Your figure is still so good-looking.”
Yun Muye: “Where did you learn these sweet words from!”
Duan Sirong: “Words from the heart. Did you miss me?”
Yun Muye rolled his eyes: “Yes, yes, yes, I’ve missed you for a long time.”
Duan Sirong: “Mm, I miss you too.”
Yun Muye’s eyes swept to the side.
“Mm mm mm, by the way – Yun Duanyue, what kind of look are you giving me?”
