Chapter 110 Say You Love Me

Yesterday, he was proudly talking about celebrating his brother's birthday, but today his brother was gone. Even with his toes, Mi Xiu could guess that the two brothers had another fight.

"It's not really a fight..." Yin Chang walked ahead dejectedly.

"What do you mean?" muttered Mi Xiu to himself, following behind. "Don't tell me it's because he confessed his love and you rejected him?"

Yin Chang stopped in his tracks and looked at him, shocked.

Mi Xiu asked, "What?"

"..." Yin Chang didn't say anything.

Mi Xiu asked again, "What happened?"

"He said he didn't want to be my brother anymore, but my...boyfriend." Yin Chang remembered Shao Junling's words from last night and his heart was still in turmoil.

"He really said that?" Mi Xiu's mouth dropped open in surprise.

Yin Chang had mentioned Shao Junling's abnormal feelings towards him before, so Mi Xiu's guess was spot on.

The two of them walked quickly to Yin Chang's room like they were thieves. Mi Xiu asked, "What did he do to you?"

"He just said he didn't want to be my brother anymore," Yin Chang replied gloomily.

"Really? Why did you reject him?" Mi Xiu's eyebrows furrowed.

"I just told him about his background," Yin Chang replied dryly.

"What background?" Mi Xiu was confused.

Yin Chang had promised the police not to tell anyone about Shao Junling's background except for that day when they were present. He didn't plan on telling Mi Xiu either, but he hinted, "He has a blood relation with Yin Dong."

Mi Xiu misunderstood that Shao Junling was Yin Dong's illegitimate child and was surprised.

Mi Xiu said, stumbling over his words, "What? You two are...what, related? No wonder you rejected him...if my brother had feelings for me like that, I would have broken his leg!"

Mi Xiu shivered at the thought of encountering such a situation himself. "But if you knew this earlier, why didn't you tell him and nip it in the bud? He might not have gone awry..."

Yin Chang frowned at his words and interrupted him, "What do you mean? I didn't know."

Mi Xiu commented, "Honestly, I always thought you were more like a couple than brothers. You share a bed for eight years, celebrate birthdays together without allowing others to participate, you have your brother accompany you to sleep when you're drunk and even depend on him when you're acting...I won't even mention what I saw when I first met you two on 'Super Star Life.' He was too young to understand at the time..."

Although Yin Chang didn't say anything, he was surprised at how outsiders saw him and Shao Junling.

Mi Xiu continued, "You haven't asked Shao Junling what he wants from you, have you?"

"He..." Yin Chang was lost in thought.

From Yin Chang's point of view, Shao Junling was too clingy and even a little rebellious. Of course, this was also related to Yin Chang's own words and actions before, so he had been self-reflecting and trying to correct everything.

Mi Xiu saw through it and said, "From the beginning, you've been talking about what you want to give him and what you want to provide. But from beginning to end, Shao Junling has only expressed one desire- he wants to be your boyfriend. In other words, he wants to date you."

"..." Yin Chang was silent.

Mi Xiu continued sharply, "You giving him what he wants doesn't contradict what you want to give him. You can still give him freedom by telling him your true thoughts. He'll understand, won't he? Of course, I don't know if your requirements for a lover and for a brother are different. If you think your brother can be let loose, but your lover must be kept locked up in a golden palace, that's a different story. The problem now is, can you accept being with Shao Junling as a lover?"

Yin Chang's eyes flickered. "I never thought about it before."

Mi Xiu said, "Then you should think about it carefully. If you can't accept it, I support what you've done. Hurting Shao Junling may be inevitable but you don't have to feel guilty because you've already loved him very selflessly."

Mi Xiu understood that Yin Chang's love for Shao Junling had already reached a high level of selflessness, which was something that most ordinary people couldn't achieve. Even biological parents have a certain degree of control over their children, let alone Yin Chang, who loves Shao Junling so much. So he also needs to suppress his own self-interest and bear the pain of separation.

Mi Xiu continued, "At the moment, I think you only want to treat him as your brother, but obviously, Shao Junling has never regarded you as his brother, as evidenced by him confessing to you when he turned eighteen. This kid has probably been planning things for a while now, including this egg..." Mi Xiu saw Xiao Ling on the bedside table still blinking and couldn't help but point it out, "Hey, has this been on the whole time?"

"Yeah, it's on standby mode," Yin Chang replied.

Mi Xiu looked at Yin Chang with horror and then at the AI. "Standby mode? Last time you said it had a memory function, is it a disguised way of eavesdropping?" He trembled and said, "I'm going first," and prepared to run away. 

Before leaving, he turned back and shouted inside, "Shao Junling, I'm helping you!" 

Yin Chang felt a little uneasy after Mi Xiu left and called out, "Xiao Ling." 

An "A_A" expression appeared on the machine egg, but the voice changed to Shao Junling's childhood voice. Yin Chang didn't know how he did it, but the tone of this voice relaxed him. 

"You... can Shao Junling see the chat records on the cloud?" Yin Chang paused and asked. 

Xiao Ling said, "Yes." 

Yin Chang's face darkened. "Can you delete today's records?" 

Xiao Ling said, "If you don't want others to see, I can set the reminder record to private." 

Yin Chang asked, "Can it still be set?" 

Xiao Ling replied, "Yes." 

Yin Chang hesitated and said, "Then set it to private." 

Xiao Ling said, "Please set a numeric password." 

Yin Chang said one off the top of his head. After two seconds, Xiao Ling said, "The password was successfully set." Yin Chang breathed a sigh of relief and stopped talking. 

Mi Xiu's words seemed to clear the fog in his mind and made his confused brain clear. Yin Chang lay on the bed and began to think carefully about the issue. 

He has always regarded Shao Junling as a brother, feeling that he has a good family relationship that is warm and lasting. But the kiss outside the airport and the words he said last night stimulated Yin Chang to consider that they had another way to feel toward each other. 

Yin Chang also had feelings, but taking this step was too difficult. Not only were they the same gender, but in other people's eyes, they were siblings. They would face too many difficulties. 

As he thought, Xiao Ling suddenly took the initiative to speak, "Brother, it's time to sleep. Should I recite a poem for you?" 

Yin Chang was taken aback. "Go ahead." 

Xiao Ling said, "The spring water always flows into the river, and the river merges into the sea. There are no lonely things in the world because of natural laws. Look, the towering mountains are kissing the blue sky, and the waves are embracing each other. The sun is tightly embracing the earth, and the moon is kissing the sea waves. What is the point if you don't kiss me?" 

Yin Chang listened, with goosebumps all over his body. "... Let's switch to a different poem." 

Xiao Ling said, "Have I really lost you, my lover? Will you really never come back..." 

Yin Chang said, "Stop." 

Xiao Ling said, "Brother, I have been set to automatically turn on and recite poems for half an hour every night at eleven o'clock. The forced setting cannot be changed." 

Yin Chang said,"…" 

Xiao Ling said, "It's only been three minutes now; do you want me to continue?" 

Yin Chang couldn't help but chuckle. "You said it was forced; if I say I don't want to, can you stop reciting?" 

Xiao Ling said, "As long as you say the password, I can stop." 

Yin Chang asked, "What password?" 

Xiao Ling said, "Say 'I love you'." 

Yin Chang said, "..."

A week later, Shao Junling missed Yin Chang and open the records on the cloud: "??? Confidential?" 

He started to write a password cracking plugin, with a sullen face... 

Unexpectedly, he made a mistake. He had to crack the program he wrote himself, really frustrating.

Yin Chang: "I don't want this version of Xiao Ling! I want the previous one upgraded!" 

Shao Junling: "It can't be changed anymore! o(￣ヘ￣o)" 

PS. The two poems are by Shelley and Goethe, respectively.
