Chapter 272: Messages (2)

Shen Lou stayed silent for a while and just as he thought about some words to say again, to his shock, Shen Lou suddenly stepped forward and wrapped his arms to embrace him.

The young man put his forehead on his shoulder before breaking his silence.

"Then... be sure to come back alive with them."

Qin An was stunned at his actions and stiffen but relaxed his body afterwards and patted the latter’s back.

"Don’t worry about that." He said. "And it’s not just me but I’ll do my best to take care of your sister too."

"Hmm," Shen Lou only hummed and they stayed at that position for a while until they heard a soft knock outside.

"Brother Lou," It was He Yan’s voice outside the room. The door was opened slightly and a pouting lips with teary eyes from the young man’s face was revealed.

"I want to say something to Anan too."

Shen Lou’s brows softened and pulled out from the hug. He nodded silently at Qin An before exiting the room.

As soon as the door closed, a loud wail echoed the room again because of He Yan’s bawling. Qin An knew that the young man was sad but seeing the tears on his face made his mood lighten a bit.

The crying young man stopped in front of him and just stared at him with his big tears streaming down his face. He was also sobbing hard and you could really see that the usual bright sun around him withered as if a surging storm covered it.

He chuckles silently before grabbing the young man in an embrace. But this just made He Yan cry loudly again and even hugged him tightly.

"Waahh! Anan, will you really leave us?! I really don’t want to!" He Yan complained aggrievely.

He sighed. "It will be alright."

"No!" He Yan shook his head. "How can it be when you want to debut the most? It’s not okay at all!"

"There’s still future competitions that I can join."

He Yan pulled out from his arms and pouted while glaring softly. "But that would mean you will debut with another group instead! I want to be with you!" He sobbed. "Should I also leave and join you for another competition too?"

"He Yan!" He quickly stopped the young man because he knew that he could definitely do it without a beat.

The young man pouted again.

"I’m fine." He assured him. "And I’m also sorry for this sudden decision."

"You don’t have to say sorry." He Yan sits on his bed. "It’s not entirely our decision to just leave, right? So it was not your fault and you don’t have anything to say sorry for." The young man wiped his tears and tried to smile at him with all his might.

But Qin An knew better than to say that his smile was just a force.

"...." He didn’t respond to his words and just watched the latter calm down for a while. There was just a comfortable silence for a few seconds around them before He Yan broke it with a blunt question that caught him off guard.

"Is there something going on with you and my brother?"

Qin An was surprised at the sudden question and he even mentioned He Li directly.

"Don’t hide it." The young man shook his head when noticing his hesitant face. "I noticed this a while ago ever since my brother went here for the first time and arrested you. Although I didn’t know the whole truth, given the situations that every time he went here, he’ll go directly to you then I’m not also doubting if the reason you gave isn’t true."

Qin An looked at his cleverness and breathed a sigh of relief. As expected from the Marshal’s brother, even with He Yan’s usual childishness there’s always his knowledge about something.

It’s also not surprising given his background but it’s probably because they’re used to his silliness.

"Someday we can tell you the whole story." That’s what only he can say.

"I know! But I’m still upset, you know." His face went back again from pouting so Qin An couldn’t help but pat his head with a little rough this time.

"Thank you for understanding." He said.

"Of course! Because I am the most understanding here, right?" The young man wink playfully so he couldn’t help but chuckled a little, making the atmosphere brighten again.

He Yan laughed too but he seemed to realize something and grab his hand.

"Hey, why are you doing this?! I’m supposed to do this because I’m older than you!"

Older than you? Qin An’s eyelid twitched. Is this kid still persistent on being an older brother here? Him? Of all people, to him?

Qin An even found it hard to call someone like this because of his real age, what’s more about He Yan who looks more like a child than him?

He was dumbfounded but didn’t think of it more deeply when all of the sudden, the latter’s large brown eyes lit up like the usual brightness of the sun and he looked at him with an unexpected anticipation.

"...."

Qin An didn’t know what’s with the sudden changes but he sure had a bad feeling about it.

"Anan, you know that I’m upset, right?" He Yan asked while staring at him with that intent glint on his eyes.

"Yes..." Although he doubts if he’s still until now.

"Then... will you do something for me to comfort my heart?"

"...." Qin An’s eyelid twitched again as a bad premonition arose inside him.

"Right? Right? Right?!" His last word of asking was in a slightly high pitched voice as if an excitement suddenly rushed into him.

There was no sadness and grievance on his face like earlier and he should be happy with it.

But with his blinding face in front of him... should he?

"... What do you want?" Qin An put on a deadpan face especially when the latter suddenly giggled like a kid.

"Anan, since you will leave my heart will surely miss you. I really treat you as my brother and not debuting with you still upsets me. So I hope for this farewell, we can exchange a good goodbye to each other, don’t you think so?"

Qin An listened to his sudden dramatic antics and was just speechless.

What is this kid trying to do?

"Then Anan hehe..." He Yan giggled again that brought him a sudden chill down his spine.

"What are you really—"

"Call me brother!"

"...."

"Get out."

"But I’m older than you! Look, this is our last goodbye and we should say something to each other! I’ll really really miss you so hearing you call me brother can—"

"Get out!"
