Half-Brother: I'm Panicking Inside

Redakteur: Dragon Boat Translation

In the dream…

Lu Shiyuan was wearing a white shirt. He pulled his tie with one hand and unbuttoned his collar, revealing his exquisite collarbone. He leaned over.

She sat on the sofa with nowhere to go. She leaned back and was pressed against the sofa by him.

"Do you really think I'm your uncle?" His voice was hoarse and seductive.

"I…"

"Or do you like to call me daddy?"

The dream became more and more ridiculous and embarrassing. Su Xianyi was woken up by the ringing of her phone.

It was late May, and the temperature in Kingstown had risen to 30 degrees. Su Xianyi was sweating from the heat. She looked at her phone and saw that it was Su Yongcheng's call. She replied. "Dad?"

"Are you still sleeping?" Su Yongcheng laughed.

"I slept late last night."

"When are you free to come home for dinner?"

In fact, Su Yongcheng often looked for her, but she had not gone out because of her allergic reaction some time ago, but she could not always refuse. "I've been free recently."

"Tonight then? I'll go pick you up."

"I can go over myself."

..

After hanging up the phone, Su Xianyi quickly got up and took a shower. When she thought of the shameful dream last night, her face turned red with embarrassment.

What was wrong with her recently? The night before, she dreamed that Lu Shiyuan wanted to be her boyfriend, and last night, he wanted to be her father? The intensity was getting bigger and bigger by the day.

It was too evil!

After taking a shower and eating breakfast, she prepared to go out to buy something. Although she was going back to her house for dinner, Su Yongcheng had already started a new family and had a pair of children. It was not good to go empty-handed.

As soon as she went out, she bumped into Lu Shiyuan at the elevator entrance.

At this moment, she was still yawning with her mouth half-open, and she was stunned for a moment.

How could she yawn in front of him?

Suddenly, Su Xianyi's face turned red. "Good morning, Uncle."

"Morning." Lu Shiyuan glanced at her.

Her hair was tied up in a bun, and she was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt with light gray loose pants and a pair of sneakers. She still exuded the aura of a young student.

After the two of them entered the elevator, Su Xianyi secretly sized him up.

He was wearing a simple white shirt and black pants. His hair seemed to have not been tidied up and was casually scattered. It slightly covered his eyes and brows. He had changed into a pair of black-rimmed glasses and looked refined and abstinent.

"You didn't go to work today?"

Su Xianyi pretended to be chatting casually. She remembered from the meal together that day that they had a day off.

She did not expect Lu Shiyuan to be at home. Otherwise, she would have to primp before she dared to step out.

"I asked for leave."

"Leave?"

"I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow." Lu Shiyuan said as he glanced at her. "I have something I need your help with?"

"What?"

"I may be away for a few days. I want you to help me take care of Little Gutsy."

"Alright." Su Xianyi readily agreed. She could even take care of him, let alone the cat.

"You know the location of the cat food and cat litter. You can go to my house on time to feed it or bring it home."

Su Xianyi nodded.

"The password to my place is six 1s."

"Are you serious about this password? It's too simple."

However, Lu Shiyuan smiled and said, "Yes, it's all 1. I prefer these simple ones. At least I won't forget them."

Su Xianyi's face instantly turned red. Was he talking about how she had entered the wrong password when she was drunk?

After leaving the apartment building, the two parted ways. When Su Xianyi went to the supermarket to choose a gift, her good friend called. "This is the first time you've seen your father's new wife, right?"

"Yeah, I've seen photos before. I don't know what to buy."

"I think you still have to be careful."

"What do you mean?"

"I've seen a lot of situations like yours in novels. Usually, this stepmother is very powerful and has special means. She has a child of her own. She might think that you're going home to snatch property and will definitely make things difficult for you."

Su Xianyi smiled bitterly. "I don't think so."

"Anyway, cheer up, dress up prettily, and put on airs. That's your house, too."

"I understand."

"You don't have any ill intentions, but she might show you her power. I reckon that her two children are not easy to deal with either."

..

Su Xianyi did not want to stay with the Su family, she naturally had her concerns. She had not returned to Kingstown for too long, and her father had his own small family. After so many years, if she went back, she would be like an outsider who did not fit in. No one would feel comfortable living under the same roof.

Therefore, after she returned to Kingstown, she stayed in the hotel for two nights before moving to Dijing Garden.

Other than meeting Su Yongcheng, she had not seen his new wife and children.

His daughter was one year older than Su Xianyi, and she was the daughter of that auntie and her ex-husband. Su Xianyi only had a half-brother who was related to her by blood. It was said that he was 17 and was taking his college entrance examination this year.

**

It was evening.

Su Xianyi took a taxi to the villa area where the Su family was located with her gifts. She didn't expect that the taxi couldn't enter, and that the owner's permission was needed to enter and exit.

She didn't want to trouble Su Yongcheng and go over herself, but she had no choice but to call him.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?" Su Yongcheng's tone was reproachful. "Wait here, I'll go pick you up."

Su Xianyi waited for a few minutes in the guard room. She thought Su Yongcheng would come, but she saw a young man wearing a helmet and riding an electric bike.

The electric bike stopped at the security office. He looked at Su Xianyi but didn't say anything.

His gaze was rather fierce.

He was wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. When he took off his helmet, his hair was a little fluffy and slightly curly. It had a lazy and soft glow under the sun. However, he was very tall and did not fit in with the electric bike.

Was this her half-brother?

The Su family was quite powerful. He was a rich second-generation heir, so why was he riding an electric bike?

This set-up was not right.

"Little Cheng. Is this your relative?" The security guard recognized him.

"Yes." Su Cheng parked the car and walked up to Su Xianyi. "My dad asked me to come," he said awkwardly.

It was as if there were words written on his face:

I was forced to come!

"Sorry to trouble you." Su Xianyi looked at her pile of gifts and then glanced at his electric bike. "I might not be able to put everything on it."

"It should be possible."

Su Cheng hung the gift on the handle of the car and placed some on the pedal.

These were all gift boxes. There weren't many things, but they took up a lot of space. After putting everything away, the electric bike couldn't be ridden anymore.

Su Xianyi pursed her lips. "Why don't we walk back?"

Su Cheng nodded.

The two of them didn't say anything along the way, but Su Xianyi was keenly aware that the boy had been peeking at her, but his peeking was a little blatant.

Su Xianyi suddenly looked at him, and their eyes met. She smiled slightly, and the young man turned his head away coldly.

Su Cheng pushed the electric bike and took a deep breath.

What should I do?

He thought that he was usually quite eloquent and could talk his way to the top of the Himalayas, but now he was so nervous that he couldn't say a word!

Su Xianyi pursed her lips. It seemed that her half-brother didn't like her very much.

Little did she know that he was panicking in his heart!

At this moment, the Su family was waiting.

Su Yongcheng was standing at the door and looking around. "This kid asked to pick her up. Why did he take so long?"
