It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

1412 Truth?

Li Shiyu was pleasantly surprised. “Brother, why are you here?”

“Can’t I come to see you when I’m free?” Li Lanfeng raised his eyebrows.

“You’re usually busy. If there’s no business, you won’t come and look for me.” Li Shiyu directly exposed his elder brother’s lies.

Li Lanfeng rubbed his forehead awkwardly. It looked like having a younger brother who knew him too well wasn’t a good thing. He couldn’t put on the nice guy facade he was so used to.

“Xuya said that you have been acting weird lately. She’s a little worried so she told Boss, and Boss asked me to talk to you.” Since he was exposed, Li Lanfeng didn’t pretend anymore. He immediately told Li Shiyu his intention for coming.

Li Shiyu looked at Li Lanfeng with an aggrieved expression. Wasn’t his gloomy mood caused by the person in front of him? Now, the guilty person came to question him with an innocent face. Li Shiyu could feel a mouthful of blood getting stuck at the back of his throat.

Li Lanfeng was a perceptive person, so he immediately understood what Li Shiyu meant just by looking at him. He pointed at himself and asked, “Because of me?”

Li Shiyu replied to Li Lanfeng with an ‘it’s good that you know’ look.

“My body condition has been very good recently. I didn’t cause any trouble recently too.” Li Lanfeng immediately denied any responsibility for Li Shiyu’s down mood by showing the facts to prove that he didn’t do anything to make his younger brother unhappy.

“You didn’t cause any trouble?” Li Shiyu squeezed the words out from between his teeth.

Li Lanfeng’s expression was very innocent, he really made it seem as if Li Shiyu was in the wrong instead. With the help of his beautiful and ethereal face, Li Shiyu, for a moment, really thought that he was in the wrong. Did he misunderstand his elder brother?

Huh? When did his brother take off his mask? Li Shiyu immediately saw the mask in Li Lanfeng’s right hand...

F**k. Can his brother be more shameless than this? Is he trying to use his beauty to escape the questioning?

Li Shiyu had seen this face many times so he was slightly immune to it. He got enchanted for a moment but he soon managed to barely regain his composure. “Brother, don’t try to be evasive.”

Li Lanfeng saw that he couldn’t escape this time so he asked helplessly, “Fine, what do you want to say? Since you think that I’m guilty, you should at least give me the reason why.”

Li Shiyu contemplated for a while before asking carefully, “Erm, Luo Chao said that she saw you sleeping over at Boss’s bedroom two days ago. What happened?”

Li Lanfeng snickered a little when he heard this. He said calmly, “What else can happen? I discussed some matters with Boss until late at night so I ended up sleeping there.”

“There are many bedrooms at Boss’s place. Sleeping on the same bed... Boss never allowed that before.” Li Shiyu was too shy to speak directly.

“That doesn’t mean that it will never happen.” Li Lanfeng smiled ambiguously. “Why are you saying all that? Do you think it’s not right?”

“Boss, Boss, knows your appearance... Brother, if you do this, won’t people misunderstand?” Li Shiyu’s face turned red but he still expressed his worry.

“What kind of misunderstanding can they have?” Li Lanfeng raised his eyebrows slightly. His faint smile disappeared and his gaze turned cold.

The change in his expression caused Li Shiyu to feel that his elder brother had suddenly become very distant. It gave him the illusion that he would lose his elder brother at any moment. Li Shiyu was frightened. He shook his head hurriedly and said, “Nothing, nothing. I’m just worried that you’ll be harmed by rumours.”

“Rumours? Why didn’t I hear about it? What kind of rumours?” Li Lanfeng asked nonchalantly.

“Actually, it’s nothing. Maybe I had a misunderstanding too.” Li Shiyu didn’t dare to look at Li Lanfeng’s eyes. At that moment, he felt that he must have misunderstood his elder brother and that Luo Chao probably misunderstood what Boss said.

“What kind of misunderstanding are you talking about?” Li Lanfeng continued pressing for an answer. “If you don’t say it, how can I relieve you from your doubts? With our relationship, there’s no need to hide anything between us. It’s better to be frank. Misunderstandings only happen because people aren’t frank enough. If it is not resolved, the misunderstanding will fester and in the end, become a huge and destructive problem. We are both mature people. It’s better if we solve it now.”

Li Lanfeng’s words lessened Li Shiyu’s guilt a little. He felt that his brother was extremely right. Although he believed his elder brother, he also needed to convince Luo Chao with facts. He didn’t want Luo Chao to continue on with the misunderstanding and get constantly hurt by it.

“Luo Chao thought that you and Boss are in that kind of relationship.” Li Shiyu finally said it. action

Li Lanfeng’s fingers, which were holding his mask, tightened a little. His expression was dark. But, he asked in a slow tone,”You, do you believe it?”

Li Shiyu shook his head hurriedly. “I don’t believe it.”

“Why?” Li Lanfeng sighed.

“Because, brother, you’re not that kind of person. Even if he’s Boss, you won’t...” Li Shiyu was a little anxious. He got convinced in the past so now, he wanted to make up for it by showing Li Lanfeng how much he trusted him.

Slap! Li Shiyu felt a slight pain on his forehead. Li Lanfeng flicked his forehead and laughed softly. “You’re really my stupid younger brother...”

Li Shiyu held his forehead in shock. He didn’t know why Li Lanfeng said that.

“You will always push aside anything that you deem unpleasant, and indulge yourself with a pleasant illusion of reality. But, reality is cruel,” Li Lanfeng said indifferently, “How fortunate is the calculative and sordid Li family to have such a naive person like you...”

Li Shiyu’s confused eyes slowly dilated as Li Lanfeng started speaking. In the end, his eyes were filled with alarm and shock.

Luo Chao was speaking the truth!

“Are you shocked?” Li Lanfeng smiled coldly. “Shocked that your pure, clean, and strong image of your brother is this kind of character?”

“Brother, what are you saying? Are you in your right mind?” Li Shiyu shouted agitatedly. He had already regained his senses.

“Why are you so agitated?” Li Lanfeng gave a mocking smile. He took a long step and came right in front of Li Shiyu. “Actually, you only cared about your Little Sister Luo Chao. You’re just hurt that a third party like me appeared before she married Boss. Oh, actually, I’m the fourth party. There’s Han Xuya after all.”

“You, what are you saying?” Li Lanfeng’s words caused Li Shiyu to stammer instantly. He looked completely nonplussed.

“Isn’t that true? Whenever Luo Chao is around, your gaze will unconsciously move to where she is. When she needs your help, you always help her wholeheartedly.” Li Lanfeng laughed softly when he said this. “You even feel resentful towards Boss because of Luo Chao. Although you tried to hide it, my dumb younger brother, I understand you too well. One look and I know what you’re thinking...”

“No, I don’t!” Li Shiyu denied it agitatedly. He would never have any evil thoughts towards his Little Sister Luo Chao.

“You love her but you don’t know it... how sad.” Li Lanfeng sneered and shook his head.

“No, Little Sister Luo Chao is my family. I treat her like my little sister,” Li Shiyu repeated the words over and over again. He seemed to be convincing Li Lanfeng and convincing himself too.

“Really? In that case, I will not need to worry when dealing with Luo Chao,” Li Lanfeng said calmly.
