Chapter 29: If you really love him, go for it!
Translator: Guy Gone Bad
Nancheng Lie drunk all night at home. He was awakened by a bucket of cold water. He managed to open his eyes and saw his cold-faced second brother and his mother.
âYouâ¦â He attempted to punch his brother but was slapped by him.
âBroâ¦â Nancheng Lie was shocked. So was his mother. His siblings loved Nancheng Lie because he was the youngest in the family. They even spoiled him like their sons. Not to mention to slap him, they didnât even have the heart to scold him. But now his brother slapped him.
âYou know that you almost have alcohol poisoning?â said his brother.
âIâ¦â
The brother pulled Nancheng Lie by his collar over to his mother, âLook at your mother. Look harder!â
Nancheng Lie stumbled to look at his mother who was worried about him. She was no longer smiling as she usually did. Her eyes were full of worries and wrinkles start to spread around her eyes.
âI, I am sorry.â Nancheng Lie lowered his head. He knew it. He knew his family was worried about him all the time but he couldnât control himself. Falling in love with Han Mingxu was so out of his control. âMom, Iâm sorry.â He hugged his mother and cried like a baby for the first time because of his love for Han Mingxu.
His brother petted his head and comforted him like he was still a child in trouble, âitâs our fault to spoil you so that you forget courage and to be brave.â The Nancheng family was powerful enough to protect him from anything.
âBroâ¦â
âYou were very brave when you were little. You did whatever you wanted. When you were punched by other kids, Xu said you were stupid. You always looked at him with a smile and said that you would grow up stranger. We asked you what you wanted when you grew up. You didnât answer. You just looked at Xu. We didnât understand back then. But nowâ¦â
âStop saying.â He didnât answer because he knew somehow that he wanted to be with Xu and protect him when they grew up.
âIf you really love him, go for it.â Said his brother tenderly.
âBro?â Nancheng Lie looked up at him surprisingly.
âYou donât have to carry family blood. We wish you a happy life rather than a miserable one.â Sighed the brother. Nancheng Lie and Han Mingxu grew up together. The family knew how Nancheng Lie felt for Han Mingxu. They never asked since Nancheng Lie never said.
Although they had no idea about homosexual love, if their brother had to settle down with a man, Han Mingxu would be the best choice. At least, Han Mingxu was like a brother to them.
âThank you. I see.â Nancheng Lie kissed his mother on the cheek, âIâm sorry, mom. I will spend more time with you later. But now I have to find Xu.â He had to tell Xu, in the risk of damaging their friendship, that Nancheng Lie was in deep love with Han Mingxu.
