Chapter 272: Yue-meimei deserves better

However, Jiang Si Yu did not say this to Jiang Yue. She felt that if her brother abandoned Bai Mo to choose Jiang Yue because of their parents' opposition, it would be a cruelty to Jiang Yue, and even more so, a humiliation.

Yue-meimei deserves better.

"Tonight, I'll go to your house to sleep with you!"

The two of them often slept together, and over time, their homes were both stocked with each other's pajamas and slippers.

"Okay."

Jiang Yue thought that although she had tried her best to comfort herself in her heart, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, and having someone to keep her company could be considered a blessing.

At the same time, on the other side, Jiang Sinian had just happily sent Bai Mo home, and upon turning around, he saw Kong Nuo standing gloomily on the side of the road staring at him, his gaze like a venomous snake in a gutter.

"I won't allow you to be with Bai Mo!" He clenched his hands tightly, the veins on his forehead bulging, looking extremely fierce.

Jiang Sinian sneered and walked toward him step by step.

Although there was only a one-year age difference between the two, Jiang Sinian was a full head taller than Kong Nuo.

The height difference made it look as if Jiang Sinian was looking down at Kong Nuo from a position of superiority when they locked eyes.

"I insist on being with Bai Mo, what can you do about it?"

The teenager's possessiveness was intense; the more Jiang Sinian looked at this Kong Nuo, the more of an eyesore he became, and he warned, "Bai Mo is my girlfriend, stay away, or I'll beat you to death!"

"Jiang Sinian, Bai Mo can only be mine. If you dare to fight me for her, I will kill you!" Kong Nuo threatened viciously.

He even felt that this didn't count as a threat, because just thinking about Jiang Sinian being with Bai Mo, and that they might do something intimate, made him truly want to kill Jiang Sinian.

"Kill me?" Jiang Sinian looked at him as if he were looking at a fool. "Kong Nuo, this is a society ruled by law, and besides, liking someone isn't something that will work just because you kill me. Even without me, Bai Mo wouldn't like you!"

"Then I'll kill her!" Kong Nuo was driven to the brink of a breakdown by him.

Suddenly, his leg was kicked by Jiang Sinian, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

It looked as if he were kowtowing to Jiang Sinian to plead for mercy.

"Try touching her and see what happens," Jiang Sinian punched him in the abdomen several times. "This beating today is to teach you a lesson; don't have thoughts you shouldn't have, and don't pine for people you shouldn't pine for! Otherwise, your end will be absolutely miserable!"

Even after Jiang Sinian had walked far away, Kong Nuo was still half-kneeling on the ground, unable to get up.

He was the one who liked Bai Mo first; what right did Jiang Sinian have to tell him not to pine for her?

Just because he had a background?

Did he think he would give up just because of a beating like this?

Kong Nuo wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; at this very moment, he had to admit that his stepfather Shen Chi was right about one thing.

Children from families like theirs must fight and scramble, otherwise, they would never be able to obtain the things they loved.

Bai Mo, he was determined to have her.

"Brother, did you go out and fight again?" Jiang Si Yu, who was preparing to go to the Jiang house, frowned at the wrinkles on her brother's clothes. "If Mom finds out, you're done for!"

"If you keep your mouth shut, Mom won't find out," Jiang Sinian said.

Jiang Si Yu hummed and took the opportunity to threaten, "That depends on your behavior. Whenever you make me unhappy, I'll tell on you!"

Jiang Sinian:...

Damn it!

He hated this twin birth system! It was practically assigning him a natural enemy.

The stars and moon hung high, the night light filtered in through the window, and the two young girls lay side by side on the bed.

Worried that Jiang Yue was in a bad mood, Jiang Si Yu occasionally told her some interesting things that happened at school.

"Juzi, do you still like Lu Fei?" Suddenly, Jiang Yue switched the topic to the emotional channel.

Jiang Si Yu shook her head. "I don't know. It seems that ever since I found out he was dating Yao Xiaotang, I haven't paid much attention to him."

"If I had to watch them being all lovey-dovey every day, I'd look so pathetic."

"My mom said that for a girl as smart and pretty as me, there are plenty of people who like me! In the future, the people chasing me might line up from Huaiyang all the way to Jing Shi, and when that time comes, I'll pick whoever I want."

She fantasized beautifully.

Jiang Yue couldn't help but curl her lips. "You're right. We'll meet many excellent people in the future. Juzi, let's go to the same university!"

She liked being with Jiang Si Yu; there was a familiar sense of security and relaxation, comfortable and at ease.

"Of course! You have to go to the same university as me, no exceptions!"

Jiang Si Yu held her arm. "I want to be a designer in the future, a fashion designer. What about you?"

"Me? I want to be an interpreter, I'll probably study English in college." Jiang Yue had always longed to be an excellent woman who was proficient in many languages and could appear in any situation with ease.

"Then I'll go abroad to be a designer in the future, take you as my interpreter, and then find you a foreign boyfriend—" Jiang Si Yu suddenly regretted bringing the topic back and shut her mouth.

"Sure, I'll be waiting."

The two of them didn't know how long they talked; before Jiang Si Yu fell asleep, she remembered that Jiang Yue was still awake.

The next day, school as usual.

The morning sun brought a sense of dawn. Jiang Sinian rode his mountain bike, and out of habit, he handed a carton of milk to both Jiang Si Yu and Jiang Yue. "I'm leaving first!"

Jiang Yue clutched the milk in her hand. She thought, this might not be a form of cruelty.

Jiang Sinian shouldn't be good to her.

This would only make those thoughts that shouldn't exist continue to sprout in her heart.

But this couldn't be blamed on Jiang Sinian; Jiang Yue knew in her heart that it was because Jiang Sinian didn't know she liked him.

If he knew, he would surely avoid her like a snake or a scorpion.

Perhaps he would even find her disgusting, that she could actually fall for a role similar to an older brother who grew up with her, having some potential for being a pervert.

Since she chose not to let Jiang Sinian know about these thoughts of hers, Jiang Yue thought, then she should endure this inner conflict.

Arriving at school, Jiang Sinian gave the bottle of milk he had in his schoolbag to Bai Mo.

"Thank you." After Bai Mo took it, she shyly tucked the milk into her desk compartment.

Then she asked Jiang Si Yu, who was sitting a few seats away, "Si Yu, do you want to drink some?"

Jiang Si Yu shook her head, "Bai Mo, I already drank some at home, you go ahead."

Although she spoke to her no differently than before, Bai Mo felt that Jiang Si Yu seemed to have grown a bit distant from her.

For instance, in the past, during breaks, Jiang Si Yu would always hang out with her and Jiang Yue, or just go to the restroom together, or perhaps go to the small shop downstairs to buy some snacks for the three of them to share.

But for some reason, ever since she accepted Jiang Sinian's confession, whenever Jiang Si Yu went out during breaks, she only called for Jiang Yue.

Bai Mo knew why; Jiang Yue also liked Jiang Sinian.

And Jiang Si Yu had chosen Jiang Yue, not her.

Perhaps in Jiang Si Yu's heart, Jiang Yue was a better match for her brother.

"Why are you unhappy?" Jiang Sinian sat in the empty seat beside Bai Mo and made a funny face at her.
