916 Sleep with another woman ?
" Are you inside Mi?" Shen Li knocked on the door of Chen Mi's room. Though he knew that Chen Mi was acting a bit childish these days but since he knew what was the reason why Chen Mi was acting like a silly mer, Shen Li decided to cut him some slack.
No one answered from the other side of the door causing Shen Li to sigh as he pushed opened the door open and then walked inside only to find a bundle of nothing but gloomy clouds and mushrooms growing on the white blanket with which Chen Mi was covering himself with, seeing him like this Shen Li could not help but be amused as he walked inside and then sat down on Chen Mi's bed.
" Are you that jealous of Xiao Hua?" He asked.
That's right, Chen Mi was not only annoyed by Xiao Hua but he was clearly jealous of Xiao Hua to the point that he could not even think straight anymore.
" I am not jealous," came the muffled response but Shen Li had watched Chen Mi grow up in front of him and knew him better than anyone else maybe even better than Yu Dong. The boy looked silly and happy-go-lucky but he was clearly the most sensitive one in the house, he was loud because he was worried that Yu Dong will forget him if he did not make himself stand out.
In the past, it was okay since neither he nor Ye Liu fought with Chen Mi for attention even Fang Chi was calm and gentle because of this Chen Mi never felt a threat approaching him but now that Xiao Hua was thrown into the mix who was much more louder and bolder than Chen Mi, he was feeling a sense of loss.
Maybe he was afraid that with Xiao Hua in the house, he will lose whatever footing he had since Chen Mi was the youngest.
" I know you are not jealous but worried right?" Shen Li nudged Chen Mi on the back causing the latter to stiffen. " Mi, you are thinking too much and because of this, you are only causing Dong Dong to feel awkward. Do you think that she doesn't feel guilty enough already because of us? Maybe if it was up to her, she might have married only one mer… don't you think that she is already doing a good job trying to balance everything out? I know you worry that with Xiao Hua, things will be different but do you really have to be so clear about your enmity with him?"
" Big brother Li," Chen Mi dragged the blanket off his face and turned to look at Shen Li, his eyes were swollen and snot was flowing down his nose causing Shen Li to pause before he let out a small, 'pfft.'
" You are laughing at me!" Chen Mi yelled in anger as he glared at Shen Li before turning his back on Shen Li and trying to pull the blanket over his head again.
" I am not laughing at you," Shen Li cleared his throat as he stopped Chen Mi from turning around and then took out a handkerchief and then started wiping Chen Mi's nose and eyes. " I know that you are upset and worried but think it like this, Mi. If Xiao Hua was to come maybe you will gain another elder brother who will care and worry about you?"
" Just because you are the youngest, it doesn't mean that you will be pushed into a corner, all right?"
" But don't you think that with Xiao Hua it's different?" Chen Mi sniffled as he lowered his head and felt a throbbing ache in his heart. " He is someone wife loves but I... I was someone whom she married because she had to out of responsibility. Wouldn't she pay more attention to him?"
" Mi," Shen Li began but was interrupted by Chen Mi who started to cry again as he wiped his tears and continued speaking, " I am not as wise as you, I don't know how to be calm and collected like brother Liu and I can't grow precious vegetables like Brother Chi. Xiao Hua might be loud but he knows how to do business, he is a social butterfly and he knows what he wants to do… I… I don't know anything, I only know how to make noise like an empty vat and other than that I am not good at anything. Will… will wife even care for me once …once brother Hua comes? She will clearly forget me because I am only loud and not capable like Brother Hua...Nor am I pretty."
" Mi…"
" You are such an idiot," Xiao Hua who was standing outside could no longer hear anymore as he pushed the door and then walked inside ignoring Ye Liu's reproachful look and Fang Chi's dont go inside expression.
He glanced at Chen Mi who looked shocked, so shocked that he completely forgot about crying and simply looked at Xiao Hua with wide eyes.
" You are right, you are not good at anything other than being loud … you only know how to make loud noises and cry every time you face trouble. I seriously hate your attitude of picking fights with me as well and you are indeed ugly as fck, look at those boogers, eww," Xiao Hua rattled off one thing after another.
He was so fast that even Ye Liu did not know what to do and how to stop Xiao Hua.
" Hua——"
" AHHHH! He called me ugly!" Chen Mi started to cry even more loudly as big, fat tears started to pour out of his eyes as he looked at Xiao Hua causing Shen Li to be helpless while Ye Liu glared at Xiao Hua.
Fang Chi on the other hand was worried as he looked at the crying Chen Mi and the aggressive Xiao Hua while contemplating whether or not to call Yu Dong.
" But … do you think that Yu Dong will simply ignore you because of these things? If so then I have something else to say to you—— you are not only stupid but you don't even know your wife!"
