Chapter 90: Little Brother Got Into Trouble 2

He had said he would make a phone call first, but when he was about to hang up, I somehow didn't walk well and fell down the stairs; luckily it wasn't high, and my loud cry was heard by Shangguan Yun.

Shangguan Yun said he would wait for me at the dormitory door, and I, not minding the pain, ran out. Seeing me limping, Shangguan Yun insisted on carrying me.

But this is school—if he carried me, would people see? I still refused.

When we reached the school gate, a car was waiting for us. Sitting in the car, I remained tense the whole time, never relaxing.

"Your knee is scraped, it must hurt." I don't know when Shangguan had already rolled up my pant leg, but I felt nothing; looking at my large bruise, red blood seeping out, swollen, only now did I realize how painful it was.

Tears streamed down uncontrollably, and with Liu Xi's situation, they fell like an unfastened faucet.

"It's okay, it's okay. I know you're worried about Liu Xi; I've already called someone to come over. You don't need to worry, everything will be fine. Believe me." Shangguan Yun said, and as he spoke he pulled me into his embrace. The driver merely glanced back at us once, said nothing, and drove his car obediently.

I knew the driver must have thought we were delinquent teenagers.

Leaning in Shangguan Yun's embrace, I didn't struggle, letting my tears fall.

It had been several days since I last had contact with him; I had been avoiding him all along, yet I didn't expect to still miss his embrace, to miss his scent.

These past few days I hadn't even looked at him properly, and I noticed he had become much gaunter—could it be because of me?

"Why have you been avoiding me these past few days?" Shangguan Yun's voice rang out.

"These past few days I've really missed you, even though we attend the same school and see each other every day; every time I pass by your classroom door, I always pause a moment wanting to take a good look at you… but… please stop avoiding me, okay? I haven't gotten a good look at you in days—I've been longing to see you properly." Shangguan Yun said to me deeply.
