Chapter 102: The Little Expert in Beating People
Mu Chaosheng followed Mu Xingjian back to their original residence, but none of her belongings were there.
"I'll sleep here." Mu Chaosheng said, pointing to the sofa.
"You sleep in my room." Mu Xingjian rejected Mu Chaosheng's proposal.
"No, I'll sleep here."
Mu Chaosheng was about to sit on the sofa, but before she sat down, Mu Xingjian grabbed her and carried her into his room.
Mu Xingjian took out a set of clean bedding and started to pack.
"Let me do it."
Mu Xingjian waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to do anything.
Mu Chaosheng stood there at a loss, feeling a little embarrassed and cramped.
Glancing across the room, the entire place was almost abnormally clean and tidy.
Finally her eyes stopped on a photo on the desk.
She took small steps over curiously and took a closer look.
The photo shows the two of them when they were children.
After Mu Xingjian sorted everything out, he felt quite accomplished and said like a child seeking credit: "Alright!"
When he looked at Mu Chaosheng, he found that she was staring at the photo. He suddenly felt embarrassed as if his unspeakable secret had been discovered.
He hurriedly urged: "You must be sleepy, take a rest quickly."
Mu Chaosheng smiled and shook his head, picked up the photo frame on the table and said mischievously: "I was sleepy at first, but I'm not sleepy anymore after seeing such a cute child."
After hearing what Mu Chaosheng said, Mu Xingjian felt even more uncomfortable, and he instinctively wanted to take the photo frame from Mu Chaosheng.
But she dodged it.
Mu Chaosheng hid the photo frame behind his back and said with a smile: "Brother, I want to talk to you."
Although she was smiling, her eyes were serious.
Serious but not forceful, she respected his wishes.
Now that she has taken a step towards him, how can he just stand still?
Mu Xingjian sat on the chair and looked at Mu Chaosheng: "Since you want, I will accompany you for a while."
Mu Chaosheng's smile became even more relaxed and happy. She sat down on the bed and asked straight to the point, "Brother, why are you still willing to be so nice to me?"
In addition to having done so many things in the past that were detrimental to the Mu family, her words and actions toward her brother Mu Xingjian were also extremely bad.
The more he loves his sister, the greater the hurt he should suffer.
She didn't understand what made Mu Xingjian's love for his sister so persistent and deep.
After hearing this question, Mu Xingjian was obviously stunned.
His thoughts seemed to return to a moment that made him feel happy and sad.
The room was quiet for a while, and then Mu Xingjian's gentle voice was heard, his voice full of happy nostalgia and guilt.
"You had a serious illness at that time, so you may not remember some things, but I remember them very clearly."
"Ever since it was revealed that I was a bastard, the news has spread everywhere."
"One day, your homeroom teacher suddenly came to the senior classroom and found me."
"He said you were fighting with your classmates in the stadium like crazy, and no one could do anything to you, so he asked me to go over and take a look."
"At that time, I was worried and confused, because the fact that I was an illegitimate child had already spread throughout the school, and sibling feuds were also an open matter in the school, so I didn't understand why your homeroom teacher came to see me."
"It was drizzling outside, but by the time the teachers and I arrived at the stadium, it was already raining heavily."
"The stadium was packed with students and teachers."
"When I squeezed in, I saw several boys with bruises all over their bodies shivering in the heavy rain, looking miserable and pitiful."
"You clenched your fists, your hair was messy, and the scratches on your face, neck, and hands were oozing blood, mixed with the rain, and flowing down like a ferocious beast."
"Those boys are obviously stronger than you, but they dare not move in front of you."
Having said this, Mu Xingjian paused for a moment, his face full of heartache.
"Your class teacher whispered to me that if anyone dares to meddle in other people's affairs, you will keep an eye on him for the rest of his life and make him live in insecurity forever."
"No wonder so many teachers and students didn't dare to move, because you looked so scary at that time."
"I didn't dare to get close to you at that time because I was afraid that my presence would irritate you, but I couldn't help but run over."
"I still remember the look in those boys' eyes when they saw me, as if they had seen their savior."
"They kept bowing and apologizing to me, crying and begging me to forgive them."
"From their 'confessions' I learned the whole story."
"Because they were slandering me behind my back, that's why you fought with them. You must make them apologize to me before you stop."
"Do you know how I felt at that time..."
Mu Xingjian was silent for a while again, and suddenly smiled bitterly.
"Actually, I don't know what I'm feeling. I just know that you will always be a part of my life."
"I want to comfort you, I want to tell you that I don't care, I just want you to stop getting hurt."
"Before I could say anything, you pushed me away."
"She didn't get hysterical or furious. Instead, she said to me very calmly and softly, 'I hate you.'"
"At that time I knew that the only thing I could do for you was to let you hate me without any worries or entanglements..."
"After that day, you started to have a high fever and became unconscious. You were treated for a long time but your condition did not improve."
"One day, you climbed up to the roof by yourself and fell off."
"All the hurt and pain you've suffered was caused by me. At that time, I made up my mind that I would never get close to you no matter what."
"You asked me why I treat you so well, but you are wrong. For so many years, I have been hurting you. My birth and my existence are a kind of harm. How can I treat you well..."
At this point, Mu Xingjian's eyes turned red and his voice choked. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something else.
But my throat was so sore and swollen that I couldn't utter a word.
"elder brother..."
Mu Chaosheng raised his head and sniffed, then said in a nasal voice:
"I hate you, not because you hurt me, but because you love me so much, and I hate myself for expecting you to be my brother."
Mu Xingjian hummed: "I know..."
It is because I know this that I want to help the other person.
Mu Chaosheng couldn't hold back any longer and tears started to flow down.
She always thought of herself as a person who doesn't cry easily.
But she has cried twice today! How lame!
"So is your old arm injury related to my fall from the roof?"
At this point, there was nothing to hide, so Mu Xingjian nodded.
Without asking any questions, Mu Chaosheng could guess what had happened.
"I remember your dream was to be a doctor. Do you regret doing this?"
