"You heard?" Lin Yan, who had drunk a fair share of mixed drinks, fell asleep. Su Wan stayed by his side until his breath evened out, and only then did she walk away from him. However, as soon as she walked out of the room, she decided to address the person standing all along by Lin Yan''s room.


    Lin Yu limped out of his hiding ce, his expression carefully nk as if he was trying to hide whatever thoughts were going on his head. Su Wan wasn''t surprised. She had felt his presence when she came out of the room to make Lin Yan a drink. She just chose to ignore him as she had nothing to hide.


    Su Wan looked at him and waited for him to say something or call her out for being a liar or a fraud. Still, even after waiting for a good ten minutes, Lin Yu didn''t seem willing to say anything about it.


    Su Wan sighed, she knew that Lin Yu just did not look the most difficult to approach, but he was just as guarded. His lies were built upon his persona, and he wouldn''t let people get close to him no matter what. Now that he knew that she wasn''t the Su Wan, then... Her eyes dimmed, and she looked away, "I know you are upset that I''m not the one you wanted, but this is not about me. It''s about your brother. I hope you will look after him instead of guarding against me. "


    Lin Yu cocked an eyebrow and kicked off the wall that he was leaning against. He limped closer to Su Wan, who waited for the bomb to drop with bated breath. She saw Lin Yu raise his hand up, and she looked away. He was going to hit her? Whatever, she would ept his anger because she had indeed lied to him, but as she waited for the impact. She felt someone very gently touch the top of her head, surprised she looked up, only to see Lin Yu looking down at her with a smile.


    "What do you mean? I only know o..one Su Wan, and that''s you," said Lin Yu rubbing her head so fast that he was messing up her hairstyle. Lin Yu quietly whispered to her after entangling her hair into a bird''s nest. "But make s....sure to hide it well because not...everyone would be as u..understanding as me."


    "That -"


    "Go to your room and take a break." Su Wan wanted to exin why she decided to tell the truth to Lin Yan. But then Lin Yu interrupted her and pecked her forehead softly before gently looking at her, "You look t..tired, the snow still hasn''t cleared. It will take at least a day m..more for the path to the t..town to clear up, you can take it easy and rest. Go, sleep. I will keep an eye on Second b...brother."


    Su Wan wanted to say that she was fine and didn''t need to sleep, but then Lin Yu poked her waist, and she instinctively straightened up. Her back was giving her a hard time because she didn''t sleep properlyst night. Touching her weak point was unfair.


    "Ah Yu, you can be really stubborn sometimes," whined Su Wan.


    "So I have heard, n..now go back to y..your room," said Lin Yu pushing Su Wan in the direction of her room. Su Wan knew that he would be stubborn about it, so she could only return to her room without much struggle. She was too tired to resist his urging. Her back was really killing her, and she needed to lie on the bed and straighten up her spine.


    Lin Yu watched her go. Once she disappeared inside her room, he looked at the tree next to Lin Yan''s room. Lin Yu walked over to it before kicking the bottom of it. "I know you are up t..there, with your st...clinginess, it would be surprising if you weren''t here, soe out. "


    Nothing but usual silence greeted him.


    "Okay. I will tell eldest uncle-inw that the person who ate his extra portion of breakfast was you," said Lin Yu calmly before turning around to walk away. He had hardly taken two steps forward when a loud ''thump'' came from the tree. Lin Chen, who was hiding in the snow-covered tree, jumped down.


    "Honestly, are you psychic or my stalker? Howe you know where I''m hiding every time?"ined Lin Chen as he wiped the dust off his clothes.


    Lin Yu looked at him and shrugged. "I was only guessing, with your h..habits, it''s a given that you wouldn''t leave Wan Wan alone with our brothers without l..lurking around in the v..vicinity. It''s just that you are too s..stupid and h..have too many weaknesses that I can u..use to lure you out of your hid..hiding ce."


    "Are you calling me stupid?"


    "No, I''m calling you dumb for keeping your weaknesses around."


    "What''s the difference?" demanded Lin Chen looking at Lin Yu with an aura of you better say something good, or I will chew you out.


    Lin Yu, of course, understood the danger in front of him. He ced a hand on his chin and rubbed it before tilting his head and casually saying, "I''m trying to be considerate of your feelings. If I call you stupid outright, you will get hurt, right?"


    BAM! Lin Chen, full of momentum, fell down on the ground and smacked the snow. "I don''t want you to be considerate!"


    Lin Yu raised his brows and lightly spoke, "Oh, so you want me to call you stupid, outright? Then I will do as you ask me! You are too stupid for letting me get a hold of your weaknesses, third brother."


    Lin Chen squeezed the snow in his hand and balled it up before throwing it at Lin Yu. Of course, thetter dodged it with a swift turn of his head, "What I meant was you better learn how to respect me as your big brother!"


    Lin Yu looked down at his snow-covered, tooth-grinding big brother and shrugged, "Well, it''s kinda embarrassing."


    Lin Chen:??


    Lin Chen:?!!


    Lin Chen:!!!!! "What exactly is embarrassing !?"
