Chapter 294: What do you feel about A Jin?
Several people went downstairs; the originally scattered students, seeing this scene, instinctively stopped and made way, taking out their phones to secretly film.
The brothers saw that there weren't many students on this side, and each took out a gift to hand to the sister.
Mu Youyu quickly had a pile of gifts in her arms; aside from a few unwrapped black cards, they were all exquisite boxes.
She handed the gifts to the waiting bodyguard beside her, planning to look at them again when she got home.
As for gifts, it's most fun to open them all at once.
Mu Xianqi was the slowest to produce a gift.
He deliberately dawdled, pulling two small gift boxes from his pocket, "Yah, who prepared two gifts for our dear?"
The brothers: "……" This competitive spirit is unmatched.
Mu Youyu's eyes lit up at the sight of the two small gift boxes, she stepped to his side, "Wow, two."
Mu Xianqi's smile widened, he deliberately lifted his chin, his gaze fixed on Jiang Liangjin, and taunted, "So it's me, you wouldn't have none, would you?"
Jiang Liangjin leaned closer to Mu Youyu.
Mu Youyu hurriedly shielded him, "A Jin gave it to me this morning!"
Mu Xianqi: "Oh, another failure."
Jiang Liangjin naturally got the seat beside Mu Youyu.
The brothers gloated over his misfortune.
After dinner, the brothers bid farewell to Mu Youyu and each went home.
Besides Qing An and three other elder brothers, only Song Yan stayed behind.
When everyone had gone upstairs to sleep, Mu Xin quietly left the room.
As soon as the door opened, he came face‑to‑face with a girl sneaking out of her room.
Mu Youyu wore a set of off‑white plush pajamas, with soft fur trim on the cuffs and pant legs.
She clutched two bottles of yogurt tightly, beads of moisture condensing on the bodies, clearly just taken from the fridge.
She seemed afraid of being discovered, her steps extremely light, carefully tiptoeing past his bedroom door.
Mu Xin's steps paused, he stepped forward, his voice indulgent: "Dear, why are you out?"
His room was adjacent to Mu Youyu's.
Mu Youyu jumped in fright, but upon seeing it was Mu Xin she relaxed, her eyes shifting as she found an excuse: "Brother, why aren't you asleep yet? I'm thirsty, I came down for a bottle of yogurt."
She said this while shaking the yogurt bottle in her hand, trying to prove her point.
Mu Xin frowned slightly, "Don't drink it cold."
"I want it." Mu Youyu put her hands on her hips, "I haven't had any in two days!"
"Drinking that much at night will give you a stomachache." Mu Xin patiently persuaded, noting that the yogurt bought at home is 300 milliliters per bottle.
She grabbed two bottles at once, clearly intending to drink them both.
Mu Youyu blinked her big eyes, "It won't happen, brother—I've drunk it before."
Mu Xin gazed at her clear eyes, his heart softened, but he still didn't want her to drink too much cold, so he stepped back, "Have one bottle, and save the rest for tomorrow."
"No!" Mu Youyu immediately objected, "The other bottle is for Glutinous Rice!"
"No."
The two stood there in the stairwell, staring at each other.
In the end, Mu Xin was the first to yield, "Can I have one bottle, brother? Am I more important than Glutinous Rice?"
"Of course, this one's for brother!" Mu Youyu nodded without hesitation, handing him a bottle of yogurt, her face showing a hint of "you finally figured it out" smugness.
Mu Xin took the yogurt, ruffled her hair, and said gently, "Get some rest early."
"Got it, good night, brother." Mu Youyu slipped into her room with a sound like "nie nie nie."
Seeing his sister enter her room, Mu Xin turned and went downstairs, took the remaining bottle of yogurt from the fridge, went upstairs and knocked on the door of the fourth‑floor guest room.
Song Yan quickly opened the door, saw him, surprised and concerned, "Ah Xin, you're not asleep yet?"
Song Yan has always doted on his younger siblings, and having studied in Y Guo, he naturally shows extra care for Mu Xin.
Mu Xin pushed the door open and entered, "Hmm, Brother Yan, I have something to say."
Song Yan raised his eyebrows, "Come in and say it."
Mu Xin placed the two yogurt bottles on the table, found a seat, and sat down.
Song Yan tossed his phone onto the bed, casually asking, "What's up?"
Come to think of it, it's been a while since we brothers last chatted.
Mu Xin turned his head, his gaze settling on Song Yan's face, his tone calm: "Brother Yan, what do you feel about A Jin?"
It's not hard to see the hostility he feels toward Jiang Liangjin in his eyes.
Song Yan didn't expect his brother to come asking about Jiang Liangjin, and his face fell instantly.
It's not hard to see Mu Xin's acceptance of Jiang Liangjin in his eyes, which makes him feel even worse.
"Just that feeling, you used to understand me, but now you don't." He spoke with a hint of petulance, even a touch of resentment.
Before, Mu Xin was just like him, both wary of Jiang Liangjin to some degree.
But now, Mu Xin defends Jiang Liangjin everywhere, which he finds hard to accept.
Mu Xin looked at him, fell silent for a moment, and lightly tapped the sofa arm with his fingertip, "I guess I didn't really understand you before either."
Mu Xin's view of Jiang Liangjin largely depends on his sister.
He and his sister rarely saw each other when they were young, and he knows the time he spends accompanying her is shorter than that with Jiang Liangjin.
Knowing how important a role Jiang Liangjin has played in his sister's growth…
Speaking of which, as a child his sister liked to cling to Jiang Liangjin, and Mu Xin learned a bit about Jiang Liangjin from her, so he pretty much knows what kind of person she sees him as, and he thinks highly of him.
Leaving aside the competition for his sister's attention, this person's status is worthy of his sister, and he's good to her as well.
But last year he didn't know why his sister quarreled with Jiang Liangjin, and Mu Xin stayed in the country for a few days because of it.
He initially thought their quarrel was temporary, so he simply acquiesced to Mu Youyu's request, sending people to block and tighten her information, making it untraceable.
After a month passed, he remembered, asked a little, learned they still hadn't made up, and only then did Mu Xin's feelings toward Jiang Liangjin fade.
Later, the sister herself said it was because of a girl, and Mu Xin also came to dislike that person.
In his opinion, Jiang Liangjin is the sister's childhood sweetheart, and should tolerate the sister without reservation.
The brothers around her all dote on her in that way.
If he can't even do that, he might as well step aside.
…After nearly a year, Mu Xin learned the sister had reconciled with him, and on the surface he put on an act of "as long as we're reconciled it's fine," standing with the sister.
But only he himself knows clearly that his feeling toward Jiang Liangjin has long since changed.
From the initial slight approval, it turned into observation, sometimes with a hint of "here comes another attempt to steal my sister" petty feeling.
Not because of any brother's influence.
Only because Mu Xin cares too much about Mu Youyu.
Song Yan sighed, took a sip of yogurt, his tone a bit impatient: "What exactly do you want to say?"
He currently doesn't want to talk about Jiang Liangjin; thinking of Jiang Liangjin's thoughts toward his sister makes him feel stifled.
