Chapter 78 Green Arrow Bro Online

Since Qi An moved next door, Jiang Xianchuan’s originally tranquil life was like a stone thrown into still water, stirring up layers of ripples. Almost every day, he would receive “harassment” from Qi An that was both amusing and annoying.

This morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the cracks in the curtains. Jiang Xianchuan was sitting at his desk, focused on dealing with the mountain of documents.

Just then, a crisp knock sounded, followed by Qi An’s voice: “Brother, can I go out to play?” Jiang Xianchuan didn’t even look up, answering decisively, “No.” But Qi An didn’t give up. He gently pushed open the door, poked his little head in, blinked his watery eyes, and asked pitifully, “Brother, can I keep you company while you look at the documents?” Jiang Xianchuan remained unmoved, saying firmly, “No.”

Seeing this, Qi An pouted and slowly walked to Jiang Xianchuan’s side, shaking his arm and acting spoiled, “Brother, I’m so bored, can you play with me for a while?” Jiang Xianchuan frowned in slight annoyance, coldly spitting out a word: “No.”

But Qi An was like an indomitable warrior, continuing to pester Jiang Xianchuan: “Brother, I…” Before he could finish, Jiang Xianchuan finally couldn’t bear it anymore, shouting loudly, “No! You can’t! Go play in your room!” At this moment, Jiang Xianchuan’s forehead was bulging with veins, and his face was frighteningly gloomy.

Li Lingyu, who had witnessed all of this, was radiating an extremely low pressure. He clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with anger, as if he could explode at any moment.

But Qi An seemed completely unaware of Li Lingyu’s anger, still clinging to Jiang Xianchuan’s arm, whining, “Brother, play with me for a while.” Looking at the innocent young man in front of him, Jiang Xianchuan’s heart softened after all. He sighed and said softly, “How about you wait for me to finish these documents? Be good.” After receiving Jiang Xianchuan’s approval, Qi An nodded excitedly, his face blossoming into a smile as bright as spring flowers. Not only that, but he also provocatively raised his chin at Li Lingyu, smiling triumphantly.

“Sick,” Li Lingyu pursed his lips, looking at Qi An with some helplessness, muttering softly. Jiang Xianchuan, who had just finished approving the documents, couldn’t remember how long he had played with Qi An. He only saw Qi An, like a cheerful little bird, hopping to him, smiling and saying, “Okay, thank you, brother, for playing with me today, I should go now.”

“Okay, bye-bye.” Jiang Xianchuan waved at Qi An with a smile. After Qi An turned and left, Li Lingyu put on a pitiful, incredibly aggrieved expression, staring straight at Jiang Xianchuan.

Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan couldn’t help but feel a tinge of guilt in his heart, and quickly said, “I’m sorry, Yu Bao, I neglected you today.”

“Hmph, you know you neglected me,” Li Lingyu crossed his arms, raising his head slightly, deliberately responding in a sarcastic tone, looking exactly like a child who had suffered a great grievance.

Hearing this, Jiang Xianchuan couldn’t help but laugh. He slowly walked to Li Lingyu’s side and asked softly, “Does your hand hurt from pinching? Let me see?”

Although Li Lingyu was still a little sulky, he reluctantly stretched out his right hand. Jiang Xianchuan was quick-witted and grabbed the hand, carefully examining it. When he saw that several nail marks had been pinched into Li Lingyu’s slender, fair fingers, he couldn’t help but frown tightly, scolding with heartache, “Silly!”

After saying that, Jiang Xianchuan took out a bottle of iodine and a pack of cotton swabs from the drawer next to him. He gently opened the bottle cap, dipped a little iodine, and then carefully smeared it on Li Lingyu’s injured area. Every touch caused Li Lingyu to feel a slight tingling, but he endured it without saying a word.

“If you hurt yourself like this again next time, I’m really going to wipe you with alcohol, it’ll hurt you to death then!” Jiang Xianchuan threatened pretending to be fierce while carefully treating the wound.

However, Li Lingyu was not afraid at all, but smiled slightly, looking at Jiang Xianchuan affectionately, and said softly, “As long as you’re wiping it for me, no matter what you use, it won’t hurt.”

“You! Sigh, there’s really no way to deal with you, you never listen to what I say.” Jiang Xianchuan sighed helplessly while gently wiping the last injured area, and then raised his hand and lightly tapped Li Lingyu’s unharmed hand.

Just then, Li Lingyu was quick-witted and grabbed Jiang Xianchuan’s wrist, looking at him pitifully, begging softly, “Keep me company, okay?” Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan nodded slightly in agreement. After receiving the response, Li Lingyu quickly sat next to Jiang Xianchuan, then gently leaned his head on Jiang Xianchuan’s shoulder.

“How was playing with Qi An today? Were you happy?” Li Lingyu asked seemingly casually, but his eyes revealed a hint of imperceptible anticipation.

Jiang Xianchuan rolled his eyes, deciding to deliberately tease the person in front of him, so he raised the corners of his mouth and answered with a smile, “Of course I was happy!” However, as soon as the words fell, he keenly noticed that the atmosphere instantly became heavy. Li Lingyu, who was originally leaning on his shoulder, suddenly fell silent. Jiang Xianchuan’s heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking it was bad.

Sure enough, after a moment, Jiang Xianchuan felt a few drops of warm liquid on the back of his hand. He hurriedly looked down, only to see Li Lingyu silently shedding tears, the crystal tears sliding down his cheeks, like pearls with broken strings.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Xianchuan panicked, quickly explaining, “Damn, baby, I was just kidding! Actually, I wasn’t happy at all, playing with you is the happiest! It’s all my fault, please don’t cry, okay?” But no matter how anxiously Jiang Xianchuan coaxed him, Li Lingyu kept sobbing, tears streaming down like a flood.

After a while, Li Lingyu, who had calmed down a little, sobbed and said, “It’s okay, as long as you’re happy, I’m really fine…” Hearing this sentence, Jiang Xianchuan’s heart ached as if it had been pricked by a needle. He tightly held Li Lingyu’s hand, looking deeply into those red and swollen eyes, anxiously shouting, “It’s not like that, baby, in my heart you’re always the most important person! I like you the most, there’s no doubt about it! Please believe me, okay?”

Hearing this answer, Li Lingyu seemed to be frozen, his head, which was originally lowered, suddenly raised. His eyes, which had become red from crying, were now staring straight at Jiang Xianchuan, as if to see the true thoughts deep inside the other person’s heart through his eyes, his lips trembling slightly, his voice with a hint of tremor and uncertainty: “Re… really?”

Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan nodded busily, the frequency as fast as a chicken pecking rice, fearing that if he nodded slowly, Li Lingyu would fall into sadness again, his mouth constantly repeating, “Really, really! Absolutely true! How could I lie to you!”

After receiving a definite answer, Li Lingyu’s tense body relaxed slightly, but his eyes still flickered with tears. He slowly reached out his hand, gently wiping away the remaining tears from the corners of his eyes. As the tears were wiped away, the slightly pale face gradually regained some color.

Seeing that Li Lingyu’s emotions had finally improved, Jiang Xianchuan, who had been worried all the time, finally breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that the boulder pressing on his heart had finally been lifted. But he didn’t dare to relax completely, still carefully observing Li Lingyu’s every move, fearing that a moment of carelessness would make the other person sad and tearful again.
