The Mysterious Heiress: Researcher In Disguise

Chapter 456: My Brother Is Feeling Sad, So I Have To Cheer Him Up

The light in Ye Jiu’s room was warm, but it could not warm him up. He could sense a rush of chillness was coursing through every vein in his body after he sent the message.

This was one of the rare moments when Ye Jiu felt the changes in his emotion.

Lying on the bed, he allowed the feeling of resignation and sadness to overwhelm him.

He remembered the thing that the staff personnel in the research institute had told him about several years ago. They said that he was different from Fu Zhi.

Fu Zhi had a healthy body, but he did not.

Defects in the DNA sequence were fatal research accidents. For a kid who was equally curious about how the world worked, it was very hard for him not to feel jealous of Fu Zhi for becoming her stepping stone.

His phone rang and then went silent.

Ye Jiu turned around on the bed, and before he could take a look at his phone, Fu Zhi pushed the door and came in.

She was holding the flower pillow that Xu Wei specially made for her and wearing a white knitted sweater.

“Why aren’t you sleeping yet?” She asked, “I’ve made you a cup of milk and I already bought the pink unicorn you asked for.”

She was oblivious to everything and she was indifferent towards many things.

However, Ye Jiu was different. He had had a lot of resentment and discontent in his life. That said, at this moment, he did not regret coming into the world earlier than Fu Zhi after he thought carefully.

Although Fu Zhi always fought with him, he could not bring himself to hate her. After all, she was his favorite sister who he had to stumble around carrying a bottle to feed her when he couldn’t even walk steadily.

He set his jaw tight as he looked at Fu Zhi silently.

“What’s the matter?” Fu Zhi asked, tugging at his sleeve. She threw her pillow on his bed and thought of the chicken drumstick that she snatched from Ye Jiu’s plate in the evening.

“I saw you took my egg from my bowl this morning, but I didn’t expose you and I didn’t get mad at you!”

Ye Jiu had already forgotten about this. That said, Fu Zhi’s accusation reminded him of something, and the fighting spirit in him rekindled.

“How dare you say that? The reason you didn’t expose me is that you’ve been using my money to buy milk teas for the past week! I told you Fu Zhi, I’ve never seen a bossy president more stingy than you in my life. It’s you who made me realize the huge gap between fiction and reality!”

She did not give him any villa and she did not show him any affection before. Glaring at Fu Zhi, Ye Jiu continued disdainfully, “You’re just a poor freeloader!”

Fu Zhi looked at him in disbelief.

‘This is it. No more brotherly or sisterly love! Goodbye!’

Fu Zhi’s cheek puffed up as she said, “Goodbye!”

Then, Ye Jiu grabbed Fu Zhi, who was going back to her room with her pillow, and said sadly, “Why do you get angry at me so easily?”

“I’m not angry at you,” Fu Zhi replied, “I’m angry with myself.”

“Huh?”

“I’m angry with myself for destroying the perfect image of a bossy and affectionate president in your heart.”

“Pfft—”

Ye Jiu was tickled pink by Fu Zhi. He couldn’t hold himself and chuckle as he poked at Fu Zhi’s hand. “Nope. I’m deeply moved.”

“You’re lying,” Fu Zhi said.

Ye Jiu was speechless. The frown that had furrowed his brow vanished, and the negative emotions in his heart were ebbing away.

Fu Zhi then put a few milk candies with cat designs on his palm.

Ye Jiu had never seen this candy before. “What is this?”

Throwing him a glance, Fu Zhi replied, “Well, my brother is feeling sad, so I brought this to cheer him up.”
