Chapter 217.2

Lin An Lan: !!!!

“Do you know what you’re saying?” Lin An Lan was shocked. “Big brother, can you calm down?”

Of course Cheng Yu knew what he was saying. “Can’t we?”

“Of course we can’t!” Lin An Lan pointed to himself. “I’m male!”

“I accept that.”

“I’m your younger brother.”

“You’re just younger than me—we don’t have a blood relationship.” He said, then added, “Our household registrations aren’t even together. We’re completely unrelated.”

Lin An Lan: …

“I’ll have Dad put me on the household registration tonight.”

“I don’t agree.” Cheng Yu wasn’t afraid of him. “If I say I don’t agree, let’s see if he dares to add you.”

Lin An Lan was about to go crazy. He lay on the desk, constantly thinking: Why had things turned out this way?

Was it because they were too intimate, and Cheng Yu had never been in contact with any girls?

Or had puberty arrived, and Cheng Yu’s restless heart was finally no longer calm?

Cheng Yu also lay on the desk beside him and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

“Thinking about where exactly you’ve lost your mind.”

“I haven’t lost my mind.”

“If you haven’t lost your mind, how could you say such crazy things?” Lin An Lan looked at him and touched his forehead. “You don’t have a fever either.”

Cheng Yu held down his hand. “So I’m serious.”

Lin An Lan pulled his hand away. “If you keep this up, I’m going to get angry.”

“Why?” Cheng Yu didn’t understand. “Because you don’t want to date me?”

“Do you know what dating means?” Lin An Lan felt he was just like a child playing house, changing his mind constantly.

“Dating—you’re just taking advantage of the fact that I won’t really get angry with you to say such nonsense.”

Initially, when Cheng Yu said “then wouldn’t it be fine if we became lovers”, he hadn’t thought much about it. He simply felt that if only lovers could kiss, then they should become lovers. After all, he was single-mindedly wanting to kiss Lin An Lan.

But now that Lin An Lan said this, he couldn’t help but think about it carefully.

Could he and Lin An Lan date?

Could childhood friends like them? Good brothers who grew up together? Could they become lovers?

Actually, if he and Lin An Lan dated, that would be pretty good. That way they could stay together forever, and he wouldn’t have to worry about whether Lin An Lan would be bullied by others in the future or suffer grievances with someone else.

Thinking about this, Cheng Yu felt that if they really changed their relationship, it wouldn’t be impossible.

“An An, do you want to be with me forever?” He asked.

Lin An Lan was very rational. “We can’t be together forever, but we also won’t separate. We’ll have our own families and children in the future, just like your mom and uncle. Everyone will still keep in touch and won’t separate, but we also won’t be together forever.”

Cheng Yu thought about his mom and his uncle and felt that he wasn’t quite willing to accept that. “I want to always be with you. No matter when, I want you by my side.”

“I will be by your side.” Lin An Lan said gently. “That will never change.”

“But what I want is eating at the same table, sleeping in the same bed, and being in the same room normally.” Cheng Yu looked at him. “Is that possible too?”

“That’s definitely not possible.” Lin An Lan felt that he hadn’t grown up yet. “Later, when we get into university, graduate, and get married, we’ll move out of the house. You’ll have your family, and I’ll have mine. We’ll eat at the same table with our own lovers and children, sleep in the same bed, and live together in the same house.”

He gazed at Cheng Yu tenderly, his tone calm. “Although we can accompany each other through youth, after youth, in the second half of our lives, we’re destined to have people we love more.”

“Can’t I be the person you love most?”

“You are now, of course.” Lin An Lan smiled. “You will be in the future too, but you won’t be the only one, because I’ll also love my wife and children. You’ll all be my family, so naturally all the people I love most.”

Cheng Yu wasn’t satisfied. Ever since Lin An Lan entered his family, he had started taking care of him. Whatever Lin An Lan wanted to eat, he bought; whatever he liked, he bought. On rainy days, he held an umbrella for him; in summer, he provided shade; and during autumn and winter, he didn’t forget to buy him seasonal clothes. And the result? This little cabbage he had worked so hard to raise for so many years, taking such good care of without letting him suffer any grievances, was just going to be handed over to someone else for nothing?

Why should he become just “one of many”? He should be Lin An Lan’s favorite person. Before, now, and forever, never just “one of many”.

“I don’t want to be ‘one of many’.” Cheng Yu protested. “I’ve never made you ‘one of many’, so why do you want to make me ‘one of many’?”

Lin An Lan smiled. “That’s because you haven’t fallen in love with anyone else yet. When you have a wife and children later, you’ll definitely consider them among your most beloved people too.”

“Why should I fall in love with someone else?” Cheng Yu asked him. “Can’t I fall in love with you? I like you right now. Can’t I be with you and make you my wife? Why should I go and like other people when I already have someone I like?”

Lin An Lan sighed and patiently guided him. “Little flower, what we have isn’t love. Your feelings for me aren’t romantic love, so you’ll definitely like someone else in the future.”

“You’re so certain?”

Lin An Lan nodded. “It’s just because we’re usually too close and don’t have appropriate boundaries, so you’re confused. But your feelings for me aren’t the kind of romantic liking. Really.”

Cheng Yu wasn’t clear on how he could be so confident when he had never dated anyone either. What gave him the right to definitively say they weren’t in love? Even if they weren’t now, couldn’t it become love in the future?

Thinking about this, he stopped pestering Lin An Lan and opened his phone to begin his own search for truth.

His method of seeking truth was also very simple—novels.

After all, what kind of love stories weren’t there in romance novels?

He opened the green literature app and, fully combining his and Lin An Lan’s actual situation, searched for several childhood-friends-to-lovers BL novels, all school-themed.

As for those where “childhood friends lose to someone who falls from the sky”, he filtered them all out disdainfully. Childhood friends were the best—what use were those who fell from the sky? Did they know what he was like as a child? Had they experienced joys and sorrows together with him? Bah!

He disdainfully picked up his phone and began reading his love textbooks. He didn’t even look at the plot. His goal was clear: he only read the romantic parts. He wanted to see how these childhood friends transformed into couples, how their love budded, and what was different after they became couples compared to before.

Cheng Yu read quickly, one book after another. And before he knew it, a whole day had passed reading.

Seeing that he was no longer pestering him and had started focusing on reading novels, Lin An Lan thought he had finally settled down. Although he still wasn’t studying properly, at least he was leaving him alone, which was hard-won.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, however he inexplicably felt somewhat lost.

Probably because he thought about how he and Cheng Yu would separate in the future, and he would become one of Cheng Yu’s favorite people instead of the only one.

But this was also normal, because even biological brothers would be like this, let alone them.

However, while his reason could understand this, his heart always felt uncomfortable.

Since childhood, Cheng Yu’s favorite had always been him. Between them, they were even closer and more trusting than Cheng Yu was with his parents.

Actually, he also wanted to be Cheng Yu’s only one, not just one of many.

He glanced at Cheng Yu subconsciously, feeling inexplicably sad.
