Chapter 431 Showers Between Scenes

June 8, Hangzhou, "Wuyu Courtyard" cafe, corner seat by the window on the second floor.

Thin and dense rain curtains hung from the eaves, leaving hazy water marks on the glass windows.

"Not to your liking?"

Yu Lan asked softly, "I thought the mousse cake here would be your favorite flavor."

The girl sitting opposite him quickly stopped stirring the dessert.

"No!" She looked up at her brother and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"What happened?" Yu Lan reached out and smoothed Yu Qing's fallen hair, his eyes as soft and gentle as his voice.

Yu Qing curled his fingers.

"Brother." She avoided Yu Lan's eyes, "I... we finished recording the fourth round of "Entertainment Intern" yesterday."

"Yes." Yu Lan nodded lightly.

"Although, although...most of it is due to Teacher Qin." Yu Qing said slowly, "Well, I got the advantage and got an offer from the company."

"It's hard to say whether you are taking advantage of it or not." Yu Lan chuckled and straightened her bangs. "You have worked hard and paid a lot. You deserve to be rewarded."

Yu Qing bit her lip, and the "um" that overflowed from her nose was already a faint cry.

"What's the matter? Isn't the offer I received the one I wanted?"

Yu Lan frowned, one hand habitually held her sister's cheek, and gently tapped her thumb to comfort her.

Yu Qing choked and shook his head.

Under her brother's concerned and worried gaze, she moved her throat vigorously, but still did not raise her head.

"I've received... received offers from Canhua Entertainment, He, He... Yangliu Entertainment."

Yu Qing cried and said every word.

Yu Lan was startled for a moment, his eyes immediately lit up, and he grabbed her hand: "Really?! Is there Yangliu? Have you got an offer from Yangliu Entertainment?"

His reaction seemed to put another heavy burden on Yu Qing, and the little girl's tears flowed down.

"How..." Yu Lan was stunned for half a second, and quickly coaxed softly, "Do you want to go to Canhua? Well... Yangliu Entertainment is very good, especially dedicated to actors. Although Sister Liu is busy taking us now, but She is very accurate in judging people, and she will definitely be able to assign you a particularly good agent."

Yu Qing's shoulders were shaking, and the area around his eyes was red.

"Don't worry." Yu Lan thought she was reluctant and panicked, holding her sister's little face with both hands and whispering, "I'm here, huh? Sister Liu is a very good person, I can say it in front of her You have to talk. Otherwise, I can still find the teacher——"

"I don't want to go to Yangliu Entertainment."

Yu Qing choked and interrupted him, raised her head, tears streaked across Tailan's fingers completely uncontrollably, some flowed down the back of his hand, and some wetted his palm.

Yu Lan was stunned.

"I don't want... I can't go to Yangliu Entertainment."

Yu Qing changed his words slightly with red eyes.

"...Why?" Yu Lan asked in a low voice.

Yu Qing bit her lip hard again, leaving deep teeth marks on her lower lip.

"Because they want me to go to Willow too."

She looked at her brother, her voice was very soft and deep, like a handful of willow catkins wetted by rain.

Yu Lan was stunned.

After a few seconds, he put on a smile and comforted him: "That's great! Look, after you come to Yangliu, I can take more care of you -"

"They just rely on you to care about me!!!"

Yu Qing cried out suddenly, and the sound of collapse echoed on the second floor of the coffee shop where there were only two people.

She broke away from Yu Lan's hand, trembling violently from her shoulders to her lips, covering her face with her hands and sobbing.

Why, why should it be like this!

When she was still young and naive, she caused her brother to be beaten and scolded so many times. But after she realized that she was no longer naughty, why couldn't her parents let her go? !

In order to take her to school, her brother never had time to participate in after-school clubs; in order to take care of her, her brother would only secretly find water to swallow medicine in the middle of the night when she was sick.

In this family, it seems that Yu Lan is the most perfect and humble housekeeping robot. He takes care of everything, and only he is responsible for all mistakes.

"It's not Brother Lan Lan's fault! I fell down accidentally!"

No one listened to Yu Qing.

"You fucking know how to ask your little sister to intercede now, don't you?! Hey, you little bum, I, today -"

No one could stop Yu Lan from being pushed to the ground.

"Why don't you take good care of your sister?"

"What do we feed you at home?"

"Why don't you die as soon as possible?"

The mother would not say a word of persuasion, she would only hold the crying Yu Qing in her arms, half protecting and half pushing her back to the bedroom.

"Be good, don't cry." The woman coaxed her, "Dad didn't mean to scare you, don't be afraid."

"...I don't...brother..." Yu Qing choked.

The woman's hand patting her back paused awkwardly.

"He...he is my brother." My mother always said in the end, "I should take care of you."

The little Yu Qing was held by her. Human body temperature was so warm, but Yu Qing was shivering from the cold.

Warm orange light illuminates the entire living room. My mother, wearing an apron, brings out home-cooked dishes one after another from the kitchen. The aroma of the food rises, coating a shallow layer of warmth around the dining table.

Yu Qing sat on a chair with a suitable height. The tall man made various funny faces to coax his daughter who had just cried. He was glanced at with feigned disgust by his wife, so he let out a hearty and generous laugh.

They are a happy family of three.

So Yu Qing knew a long time ago that she couldn't shed tears during dinner like this, nor could she frequently look into the most remote small room in the house.

Even though she knew that Yu Lan was huddled behind the door injured and hungry.

She has to show her sweet and cute smile that she has been coaxed into, and she has to sip soup and vegetables, because as long as she is well, the mood of the man and woman in front of her will be better, and they can put the locked door behind them after dinner. The door opened, he looked down and said in an indifferent or contemptuous tone:

"Come out and eat."

…

"elder brother……"

"Be good, don't come in."

Through a crack in the door, Yu Lan's gentle voice mixed with a deliberately restrained intake of breath came.

"Don't come in," he repeated with a smile, "it will scare you."

Yu Qing could only bite his lips hard to hold back the tears and said "hmm" in a muffled voice.

"Brother." After a while, she leaned against the door and looked at the ceiling and whispered, "Why don't you hate me."

Yu Lan's laughter came faintly.

"Silly Qing." He said with a smile, "Why should I hate you."

So Yu Qing could only wipe her tears silently. After Yu Lan had already said this, it would be hypocritical and disgusting for her to argue anything.

It seems that acceptance is the only option.

Accept that Yu Lan treats her well without reservation; accept that her parents treat Lan badly without reservation.

She is Yu Qing.

She is a precious little princess who is deeply loved by her whole family.

…

"I don't."

In the corner of the coffee shop, Yu Qing's throat moved again and again, "I, absolutely, will not go, Yangliu."

Yu Lan suddenly wrinkled his face as if he was pierced by an oncoming sharp needle.

"Ah Qing." He stood up following the excited Yu Qing, pressed her hands with both hands, and said seriously, "Don't vent your anger in a place like this. Although I am still a low-key person now...but in the next few years, I will You who strive to have more say, you haven't entered the circle yet, and you don't know the difference between Canhua and Yangliu... Be obedient, okay? Stay in Yangliu, stay where I can get it, and let me protect you, OK?"

Yu Lan wiped her tears earnestly and distressedly: "Be good, my brother doesn't mind. I don't care about them in this family, I only care about you... It's hard to get the best of both worlds, so don't go overboard, eh?"

The teardrops hitting the back of his hand were like a heavy hammer falling. Yu Qing gritted his teeth again and again, and finally got down and broke away from Yu Lan's hand.

"elder brother."

Her body, which was slightly smaller than Yu Lan's, was heaving hard due to her violent breathing. Tears wet the lower half of her face, and her eyes were red.

"I'm your sister."

Although Yu Qing's voice was soft, her words were very strong, "I'm not your moth."

Yu Lan suddenly trembled, and his expression and movements froze as if the pause button had been pressed.

"You are so outstanding. You are so good wherever you are. You will definitely have a wonderful career, a wonderful life, and a wonderful love..." Yu Qing choked up at first, but later she became more and more smooth, "No Me, you must be better off without me.”

She looked deeply at Yu Lan, her tone almost pleading.

"So, leave me alone...Brother, please, don't care about me so much."

Those two people relied on Yu Lan's soft heart and caring to cling to him and suck his blood regardless of the consequences.

Her brother was the most wonderful and best man in the world.

How could he let such shameless parents and such a shameless sister drag him down for the rest of his life?

Yu Lan stood there, looking at Yu Qing steadily.

"Be obedient." The young man stretched out a hand to her and repeated softly, his voice like broken glass, "Aqing, be obedient, okay?"

Yu Qing didn't speak, tears fell one after another.

She looked at him and shook her head stubbornly, firmly and decisively.

Yu Lan's hand fell heavily.

It rained heavily during the period.

Don't rush to attribute, don't assert right or wrong. If everything in the world could be judged on the basis of right and wrong, there wouldn't be so many people who feel sad about family, friendship, and love.
