Chapter 34: It’s Still Our Brother He

She slept until almost noon, took her temperature, and the fever had subsided a bit, but her body was very weak, and she had no strength at all.

There were many messages on WeChat, Shu Yang expressed her envy and jealousy, asking her to take some pictures to satisfy her curiosity.

Shuangxu painted a big picture for her: [I’ll take you when you’re better]

She got up and drank a glass of water, walked to the window to take a picture for Shu Yang, and saw a group of people gathered on the deck below.

Shen Yu and Zheng Zuye were facing each other, confronting each other.

She was stunned, didn’t even have time to change her shoes, and ran out immediately.

The incident where Zheng Zuye almost bullied Shuangxu in the middle of the night was leaked by a crew member and eventually reached Shen Yu’s ears.

When he found Zheng Zuye, he was still drinking, hugging a young model who didn’t know who brought her on board, and laughing lasciviously.

Shen Yu said coldly: “If you don’t want to be implicated, get out.”

The young model immediately got up and ran away.

“Why are you so fierce?” Zheng Zuye said, “You wouldn’t be looking for me to settle the score, would you? I just played with your sister, I didn’t do anything to her. Isn’t she fine?”

“Xiao Jiu is not for you to play with.” Shen Yu’s eyes were as cold as ice, “I told you last time, if you hit on her again, don’t blame me for being rude to you.”

Zheng Zuye finished the wine in his glass unhurriedly, stood up and faced him.

“Aren’t women just there to be played with? If I don’t play with her, someone else will. She wasn’t of age before, so it’s fine, now that she’s of age, you’re still watching her so closely, do you want to keep her for yourself?”

Shen Yu was a debonair gentleman, Zheng Zuye was the typical bully, so he was unscrupulous.

When Shen Yu punched him in the face, his smile hadn’t even had time to disappear, and he was knocked to the ground.

There was an immediate uproar, Lu Manman covered her mouth in fright.

When Shuangxu ran down, Shen Yu grabbed Zheng Zuye by the collar and threw him against the railing of the deck.

Everyone around was watching, some were even recording with their phones.

She was about to go over, Lu Manman pulled her back: “You’d better not go over.”

Seeing that Zheng Zuye’s nosebleed was coming out, Yue Zifeng and Zuo Zhong went up to stop him: “That’s enough, if you hit him again, Zheng Lao won’t be happy.”

Zheng Lao was a doting grandfather, otherwise Zheng Zuye wouldn’t have been raised into this kind of person, running rampant in Yancheng. Now that nothing had happened, he beat his grandson like this, the old man might even come out to avenge him.

Zheng Zuye got up, leaning against the railing, wiped his nose, his face half covered in blood, making him look even more arrogant: “Hit me, why don’t you hit me? If you have the guts, kill me, let’s see if my grandpa won’t be the first to kill your sister.”

Shen Yu stared at him without saying a word, even Shuangxu had never seen him so gloomy.

“Damn it.” Yue Zifeng was so angry that he couldn’t do anything about it.

Just then, a lazy figure swayed past Shuangxu and Lu Manman.

“Cousin?”

He Tingzhou must have just woken up, his black hair was slightly messy, he looked annoyed to be disturbed from his sleep, he didn’t even bother to respond when Lu Manman called him.

He walked towards the deck with a lazy gait, and everyone who saw him automatically made way for him.

Shen Yu and Zheng Zuye were still confronting each other, Zheng Zuye was arrogant: “What are you going to do to me?”

He Tingzhou walked over slowly, raised his foot, and kicked him off the railing.

“Fuck!”

There was a sudden cry of surprise and screams on the boat, a group of people rushed to the railing and looked down.

Zheng Zuye fell from the tens of meters high yacht deck, plop into the sea, dark sea, white waves, he didn’t surface for a long time, he roared angrily in the sea: “He Tingzhou, I’m going to fuck your mother!!!”

He Tingzhou’s voice was lazy: “I don’t have a mother, go fuck your own.”

“…”

After he finished speaking, in the eyes of everyone’s astonishment and fear, he turned around and walked back from the deck.

As he passed by Shuangxu, her mouth was slightly open in shock.

“Close it.” He Tingzhou said, “You’ll drool later.”

When Shen Yu came over, his expression had returned to normal, he put his hand on her forehead: “Your fever is gone?”

Shuangxu nodded: “I’m much better now.”

Shen Yu didn’t mention what happened last night, he just patted her head reassuringly: “Are you hungry? I’ll ask the kitchen to make you something to eat.”

After he arranged it, he walked towards He Tingzhou, put his hand on his shoulder, and patted him twice heavily: “Thanks.”

He wasn’t thanking him for the kick just now, but for saving Shuangxu last night.

“Don’t be so polite.” He Tingzhou’s eyes swept over Shuangxu, “Your sister is my sister.”

These words sounded hypocritical to Shuangxu’s ears.

When had he ever treated her as his sister?

Yue Zifeng came back from the deck, grinned, and was in a good mood: “It’s still our Brother He! This idiot has hated you for so many years for a reason, only you can handle him.”

Zheng Zuye hated him? Shuangxu couldn’t help but glance at He Tingzhou.

“It’s my negligence that I didn’t strangle him to death, I’ve let society down.” He Tingzhou’s lazy and unserious tone made it hard to tell if he was joking, “I’ll go apologize to the Queen Mother later.”

“I let him float in the sea for a while, seeing that he was about to run out of steam, I threw him a lifebuoy.” Yue Zifeng said, “We’re venting our anger, but if we really kill him, the Zheng family will come to us for revenge. We’ll find someone to get a speedboat to take him ashore, and call the Zheng family to pick him up.”

It wasn’t even lunch time yet, the chef specially cooked fish soup noodles for Shuangxu – oh, not just her, but two people.

Lu Manman also came in and sat down at the dining table opposite her, also asking for a bowl of noodles.

The milky white broth was rich and flavorful, the freshness of the sea fish was incomparable to farmed fish. Shuangxu originally had no appetite, but she unknowingly ate half a bowl.

Lu Manman didn’t eat much of her noodles.

Shuangxu put down her chopsticks and was about to leave the restaurant when Lu Manman said to herself, “Your brother really cares about you. Yesterday, Leyan provoked you, and your brother had her sent away overnight. Today, as soon as you got a fever, he canceled his snorkeling trip.”

Song Leyan was sent away? No wonder she didn’t see her today.

They didn’t go snorkeling, so was it Shen Yu or a hallucination she saw this morning?

Shuangxu looked at Lu Manman, who raised her head and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen your brother fight.”

“He’s a very gentlemanly person at heart, always calm and composed. I’ve never seen him lose his temper at anyone. I thought it would be very difficult to provoke him.”

“But I have to admit, he looks really cool when he’s beating someone up.”

Shuangxu understood what she meant.

Lu Manman already had a prejudice against her, and now Shen Yu was standing up for her again and again, she might feel uncomfortable.

“My brother is very protective of the people around him, and the same goes for you. If I were bullied and he just stood by and did nothing, you wouldn’t like him either.”

Lu Manman rested her chin on her hand, “That’s true.”

“You’ll have many more opportunities in the future, and he’ll accompany you to do many things you want to do.” Shuangxu comforted her.

Shen Yu was too good, her luck probably wasn’t enough, she could only have him for ten years, and after that, he would be someone else’s.

“It must be really nice to have a brother, I envy you.” Lu Manman said, “I’m an only child, I don’t have any brothers or sisters.”

Shuangxu envied her for having her parents’ love.

“Don’t you have a brother?” she said, “Your cousin also cares about you.”

“You mean my cousin? He cares about me?” Lu Manman suddenly let out two strange “ha! ha!” laughs, straightened up, her emotions agitated, and said, “When I was in elementary school, I once lost a hair-pulling contest and ran to him crying, wanting him to stand up for me. Do you know what he said?”

“What did he say?”

“He said I was annoying and said, ‘Just shave your head, then you’ll be invincible.'”

Lu Manman slapped the table with both hands, it was clear that she had a deep grudge, “Have you ever seen a brother treat his sister like that?”
