Chapter 550 - 564 Are You Afraid of Me?
Lin Ruonan heard Gu Haoyu call her again and finally responded, scratching her head awkwardly and continuing to walk, "So, brother, why aren’t you at work today?"Lin Ruonan finally found her voice, pretending to be calm as she asked.
Gu Haoyu placed the bowls and chopsticks on the table, glanced at her, his cold eyes showing no expression, then lowered his head and said, "It’s the weekend."
"Ah? Oh, right, yes. Look at me, all confused." Lin Ruonan couldn’t help but cover her face. Why did she get so nervous every time she saw her brother now?
Seeing her brother about to serve the porridge, Lin Ruonan quickly picked up a bowl, "Brother, let me." Check latest chapters at NoveI-Fire.ɴet
She reached out to take the spoon from Gu Haoyu’s hand, but in her haste, grabbed his hand instead.
The warm touch from his hand made Lin Ruonan pull back her own as if electrocuted, her face immediately turning as red as a shrimp.
"I’m... I’m sorry, brother, I..."
"It’s okay, I’ll do it. You sit there and wait." Gu Haoyu said calmly, his slender white hand taking the bowl from Lin Ruonan and serving a spoonful of porridge for her.
Lin Ruonan buried her head in the porridge, not daring to look at Gu Haoyu again.
"Nan, are you afraid of me?" Gu Haoyu suddenly asked.
"What?" Lin Ruonan looked up and met his deep eyes.
Honestly, she didn’t really know how she felt about her brother now.
Afraid? Not really. Her brother was such a good person, always taking care of her since she was little, especially comforting her every time she got frustrated with Mu Xingfeng.
That feeling, like a senior, but different from a senior.
She only had one younger brother, and with a family full of military people, Gu Haoyu’s presence gave her a completely new feeling, like a harbor she could rely on.
In her heart, her brother’s care for her was even more delicate than that of a family member, but she had never thought of anything else.
Because in her eyes, her brother was not just like this to her, but also to the other four brothers. Maybe this is what they mean by "an elder brother is like a father".
But ever since the birthday party when her brother said those things, she suddenly felt that her brother was a bit different towards her. Looking closely, he was still the same brother, yet somehow different.
In short, her heart had become confused at some point.
Hearing Gu Haoyu ask that, Lin Ruonan instinctively shook her head, "No, why would I be?"
"That’s good. Here, don’t be constrained; just feel at home." Gu Haoyu said as he gave her a steamed bun.
"I know, brother." Lin Ruonan said with a red face, taking a bite of the bun to calm herself down.
She suddenly found that the bun was her favorite beef filling, and the beef inside was fresh and juicy, particularly delicious.
To her surprise, the beef bun had a remarkable calming effect, and Lin Ruonan was immediately drawn to it, her earlier jitters disappearing without a trace.
"Brother, where did you buy these buns? I haven’t found such delicious beef buns anywhere." Lin Ruonan asked contentedly after eating a few bites.
Gu Haoyu served her another one, his eyes softening a bit, "If you like them, have more."
Lin Ruonan took the bun, a cunning look flashing in her eyes, "These buns are so tasty. I’ll buy a few for grandpa later. Maybe then he won’t force me to go on blind dates."
After saying that, she stuck out her tongue.
Gu Haoyu laughed along, "I’m afraid you won’t be able to buy them."
