Chapter 136: The Same Blood Flows Through Us

Only then did Bai Yimo slowly step out from the rose corridor in her high heels. Seeing the three of them standing in the moonlight in a standoff, she curled her red lips and waved at them: "I won't disturb your chat."

She walked away quickly.

Yu Shixue could not bring himself to speak harshly to Ling Wu, so he turned to interrogate Yu Tingyun, his gaze sharp: "Yu Tingyun, what are you doing wandering around someone else's back garden for no reason?"

"How long have you been here?"

Yu Tingyun was behind Ling Wu, and with a backer, he muttered: "You're the one wandering around someone else's back garden... You only allow the magistrate to set fires, but forbid the common people from lighting lamps."

"What kind of person!"

【Yu Tingyun (pointing and gesturing): What kind of character is that!】

【Yu Tingyun: I have a backer, I'm not afraid.】

【Yu Tingyun (sarcastic): Brother, you are truly double-standard.】

Yu Shixue: "Speak properly!"

Yu Tingyun immediately became honest: "I snuck here following Brother Ling Wu. We haven't been here long, probably just since you two started talking... we arrived."

His voice grew quieter as he spoke, and he kept glancing at Yu Shixue's expression.

Ling Wu stared at him with a direct gaze.

He had recently learned a principle on the forums: as long as he wasn't embarrassed, then the one who was embarrassed would be someone else.

Yu Shixue appeared calm: "Oh."

That means they heard everything!!!

【Tremble, pretending to be calm on the surface, but panicking like crazy inside.】

【It's ruined.】

【Just finished shipping the villain and the second male lead, now I'm shipping Yu Shixue and the second male lead; everything can be shipped.】

【Second male lead, don't believe him, he's just pretending; actually, he's already getting excited behind the scenes.】

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Yu Tingyun took the initiative to step out and ease the atmosphere. He raised his hand and asked sincerely: "Brother, did you two just mean that Brother Ling Wu will be my sister-in-law in the future?"

Yu Shixue: "..."

Ling Wu: "..."

The two of them looked in different directions.

Both felt a bit of awkwardness.

Yu Shixue raised his leg and kicked Yu Tingyun hard: "What nonsense are you spouting?!"

"I'll deal with you when we get home!"

Yu Tingyun clutched his backside and walked toward the exit of the pebble path. He looked back every three steps at Yu Shixue's grim and cold face and said: "Brother! Brother... Brother, I was wrong. If you kick your own brother's butt again, it'll break."

"Actually, I came to find Brother Ling Wu for a serious matter!"

Yu Shixue stopped his movements, his posture clearly saying, "I want to see what kind of ivory can come out of a dog's mouth."

Ling Wu asked him: "What matter?"

Yu Tingyun grabbed his lifeline: "I want to skip a grade and enter Sike Academy, and I plan to find a tutor. But the smartest person I know is you, Brother Ling Wu. I heard you are the top student with full marks in all three subjects at the Academy. Can I have you as my tutor?"

"Sobbing..."

Hearing this, Yu Shixue shifted his gaze to Ling Wu.

The garden was quiet, with the occasional sound of insects.

Ling Wu did not refuse, nor did he immediately agree. He raised his head, his gaze fixed on Yu Tingyun, as if wanting to confirm something, and then asked him this question: "Does it require going to your home?"

His tone dropped at the end.

It carried a hint of imperceptible danger.

The smile in his eyes was like that of prey finally taking the bait after a long wait.

"Yeah, yeah!" Yu Tingyun said hurriedly: "It's a tutor, right! If it's not at home, what kind of tutor is that."

He thought Ling Wu asked that because he didn't want to go to their house.

But soon, Ling Wu smiled brightly. He looked at Yu Shixue and said: "Then let's consider it an apology for me accidentally hearing your secret."

He agreed.

Yu Shixue thought about the scene of Ling Wu coming to his home later, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly. He said as if he didn't care: "Then just remember to come, or call in advance, and I'll pick you up, so word doesn't get out that our Yu Family neglected the Eldest Young Master Jin."

Ling Wu understood: "Okay, just discuss the specific tutoring time and let me know."

Yu Shixue felt a secret sense of Ling Wu's anticipation.

Was it his imagination?

At that time.

On the European-style high tower of the Jin Family, Jin Liangjin held binoculars, observing every move of Ling Wu and the others below from a high vantage point. He rubbed his temples, and the butler beside him immediately handed him a cup of warm tea.

Ling Wu keenly looked up toward the high tower. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse; the doors and windows there were tightly closed, and there was nothing, as if that glimpse of prying did not exist.

Ling Wu returned to his room.

"Snap!"

He turned on the light switch and looked at Jin Shaoyu sitting in a wheelchair in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. Hearing the sound of Ling Wu returning, he turned his head: "Brother, I heard Yu Tingyun call you brother."

The tone was a statement.

"Even though I am your biological brother, you don't allow me to talk to you."

"Are you going to abandon me again?"

The youth's tone was a bit dejected.

Jin Shaoyu had now completely figured out the user guide for Ling Wu; there were actually no other essentials, just acting pitiful and saying soft words.

Sure enough, Ling Wu's expression was very helpless, as if he had no way to deal with him. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, sat on the bed, and was almost at eye level with Jin Shaoyu: "We share the same blood."

We are family.

Jin Shaoyu received a satisfactory answer; emboldened by favor, he pushed his luck and said, "Brother, my leg still hurts so much, but it hurt the most that day at the hospital... not only did my leg hurt, but my heart also ached until it trembled..."

He used a sympathy ploy, pulling Ling Wu's hand to his chest, begging for a perfect answer: "Brother, everything at the hospital was just angry talk, right?"

Ling Wu looked at his younger brother's face, which was no longer youthful, and his reply came quickly: "It was not angry talk."

It was not angry talk.

It was not angry talk...

Jin Shaoyu could no longer smile in an instant.

His heart felt as if it had plummeted heavily toward the ground, shattering like ice upon impact, only to be caught steadily by Ling Wu's sincere and earnest words, instantly brought back to life: "It was a lie."
