Chapter 36: You Are My Biological Brother
Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Yao had just arrived at the dormitory and had yet to put down her backpack when she received a call from her brother in Fengye Country.
Lu Yao picked up the phone and said softly, "This is Lu Yao." Although her voice was flat, only she knew the waves in her heart.
"Yaoyao, are you okay?"
There was a mix of worry and anxiety in Lu Bo's voice, coming over the phone from across the ocean. The man's manner was cautious.
Lu Yao pursed her lips and smiled. Her tone was very gentle. "I'm fine."
She knew that Lu Bo must have seen the newspaper and Weibo hot searches. The videos and photos of the Lu family's daughter's private life were all over the Internet. The Lu Family Group must have been affected. Lu Bo didn't say a word about the group. He only asked her gently, "Are you at home?"
"Not at home. I just came to school." Lu Yao placed her things in the cabinet opposite Hu Yuting and sat on the bed.
Lu Bo didn't take the initiative, so she spoke first. "You saw the news and the pictures, right?"
"I did." It was very quiet in Lu Bo's environment. It must be one in the morning in Fengye Country, where he was. Most people would be asleep by this time.
However, some time ago, the Lu Family Group's secrets were leaked, and the matter had reached a point where it was difficult to control. Her elder brother and father should have been too busy to sleep recently. But her big brother took the time to care about her when he was so busy. When Lu Yao thought of this, her heart softened.
Her eyes felt a little sore, and she couldn't help but think of her previous life. In her previous life, she had closed her heart tightly and ruthlessly rejected the other party's concern and love.
Lu Yao sat on the bed and stared at her toes in a daze. She said unhurriedly, "I'm not the one in the news. Don't worry about me."
The nonchalance and ease in her words were clear to him. There was a long silence on the other end of the line.
"Don't read the news and reports. Study hard. If you think you're bored at home, ask Lu Yu to take you out. Leave the rest to me."
It was only Monday today, and the next five days were not a day off. In order not to make her feel bored, her big brother actually encouraged her to skip class. The other party's careful but straightforward love made Lu Yao feel very happy.
Lu Yao's originally depressed face was replaced by a happy smile. She pretended to be serious and said, "Little Brother definitely has class tomorrow. It's not a day off."
In the distant Fengye Country, Lu Bo, who had always been called a genius in the business world and had a delicate heart, was stunned on the spot because of what Lu Yao had just said.
He rubbed his hands together subconsciously. "Little brother?" he asked uncertainly.
It had been a year since Lu Yao returned to the Lu family. She had never called Dad or Brother. Now, this reproachful sound of "Little Brother" made Lu Bo both excited and jealous.
Yaoyao had never called him brother.
"Yaoyao, what did you call that little brat Lu Yu just now?" Lu Bo relaxed his throat, his tone filled with nervous anticipation.
How could Lu Yao not know the complicated emotions in the other party's heart? In her previous life, she had never let down her guard. Until now, she had never called him brother.
Her brothers and father were among the few relatives she had in the world. No matter how difficult her troubles were, they sheltered her as always.
Lu Yao rubbed her eyes and wiped away the tears in them. She pretended to be relaxed and said, "Lu Yu is my younger brother."
Lu Bo was a little excited when he heard that. Yaoyao actually called him brother. Did this mean that their efforts over the past year had not been in vain? Yaoyao was finally starting to integrate into the Lu family.
"Then what am I to you, Yaoyao?"
He asked tentatively, not knowing if the other party could give him the answer he wanted. He was like a child who was still in kindergarten and looking forward to candy. He had completely lost his usual decisive attitude in the company.
The thought of his sister actually accepting that idle brat Lu Yu first made him jealous.
"Big Brother, are you stupid? Of course you're my biological brother."
Lu Yao called him affectionately and gently, like a child who had yet to grow up.
"Aye, aye, aye! My good Yaoyao!" Lu Bo's voice couldn't help but tremble. For a moment, he was a little speechless. Lu Yao could sense the other party's complicated and excited emotions. She didn't speak and waited quietly on the other end of the phone.
