Chapter 509: Chapter 509 Let’s Be Together
"What are you two talking about?"
Sheng Le’s eyes were still filled with anger, mixed with a touch of grievance. The two complex emotions intertwined, but upon seeing Sheng An’s calm gaze, it was like air escaping from a balloon, and his whole demeanor deflated.
He said with grievance, "Sis... I really have nothing to do with Lan Xi!"
"Sit down, I’m going to introduce you to someone. From now on, you should call Zhuo Yun your brother-in-law."
"What?"
This time, not only was Sheng Le shocked, but Zhuo Yun himself was also quite surprised. Although he had always hoped to be with Sheng An, he feared rejection, so he stayed close as a good friend.
He had never crossed that line.
The surprise joy fell from the sky, smacking Zhuo Yun into a daze!
But Sheng Le stood up excitedly, his eyes red as he spoke, "Sis! How can you be with him!"
"Why can’t we be together? We had an engagement before, but because I was separated from my mother for many years, it led to Zhuo Yun and I being unfamiliar. But over these two years, we have gotten to know each other."
Sheng An looked at Zhuo Yun, "Our personalities complement each other, we share common interests, and know each other well."
Zhuo Yun grinned, his large white wings trembling with excitement, "Xiao’an, I’ve finally waited for your words!"
Sheng Le sprang up and ran outside.
Sheng An frowned slightly.
Zhuo Yun said, "Go after him, and have a good talk with him."
Sheng An was a bit surprised as she looked towards Zhuo Yun, who smiled and said, "I’ve known for a long time that he likes you, after all, you two are not related by blood and grew up together. In reality, his feelings for you might contain more of familial love than romantic love. He loves you, but he just doesn’t want to lose you."
"Are you really okay with me going after him?"
"Yes, because the person you’re willing to marry and start a family with is me, and he is just your brother. Go ahead, he might run too far. I’ll head back first, call me once you’re done."
Sheng An looked at Zhuo Yun’s radiant smile, nodded vigorously, and then chased after him.
Once Sheng An left, Zhuo Yun, who had been rather composed, immediately became excited. His wings began to tremble, and he hurriedly called his family through the communicator, excitedly informing each one that he and Xiao’an were finally together!
Of course, he didn’t forget to call Hua Yueran. Zhuo Yun was showing off in front of his family to the point of trembling wingtips, but he was much more reserved in front of Hua Yueran.
He said excitedly, "Aunt Hua, Xiao’an agreed to be with me!"
Hua Yueran had always liked Zhuo Yun as a child, but when Xiao’an mentioned not being familiar with him, Hua Yueran didn’t bring up the children’s engagement.
Now, seeing that after two years, things had naturally fallen into place, she was of course happier than anyone else.
"Yes, that’s wonderful. Are you two together now?"
"Oh, no, Xiao’an has some things to take care of. Aunt Hua, I’ll come to see you tomorrow!"
"Alright."
Zhuo Yun was so happy that he couldn’t help but send Gu Jue a message.
Having just returned home, ready to enjoy some quality family time with his wife and children, Gu Jue’s lips twitched when he received the message.
The White Tiger commented from the side, "It’s lucky that Zhuo Yun is a Swan Beastman and not a Peacock Beastman, otherwise he’d be showing off to the entire universe by now."
Su Wan just came over and heard their conversation. Curiously, she asked, "What happened to Zhuo Yun?"
Gu Jue then showed Su Wan the message that Zhuo Yun had sent him. After reading it, Su Wan remarked, "Xiao’an hasn’t told me about this yet. It seems that you really have a good relationship with Zhuo Yun."
Gu Jue, "No, I guess he’s notifying the whole universe."
Su Wan was taken aback, but then she smiled and said, "That proves he’s very happy and also proves that he really likes Xiao’an."
Su Wan actually knew that Xiaole also liked Xiao’an. The two had grown up together in the orphanage, but Su Wan always felt that their bond was more fraternal than romantic.
At least, Sheng An truly saw Sheng Le as a younger brother.
Zhuo Yun and Sheng An’s personalities were actually complementary. Additionally, Sheng An’s childhood was fraught with loss and hardship, making her journey particularly difficult. Yet Zhuo Yun grew up in affection without forming any bad habits, which was quite rare.
So it seemed that the two indeed complemented each other well.
And while Zhuo Yun was happily flapping his wings, proclaiming to the whole universe, Sheng An finally caught up with Sheng Le, who had red-rimmed eyes.
A glimmer of hope rose in Sheng Le’s eyes, "Sis, were you just kidding me? You’re not really with Zhuo Yun, right?"
"Lele, I’m not joking with you, I really am with Zhuo Yun," she said.
"Sis!"
"Sheng Le, can you clearly distinguish how much of your feelings for me are fraternal and how much are romantic?"
Sheng Le was stunned; indeed, he couldn’t tell them apart. Since the day his sister had brought him back to the orphanage, thus saving his life, he had been striving and always following in Sheng An’s footsteps.
She worked hard to earn Star Coins to alleviate the pressure on the orphanage’s director, and when Sheng Le got older, he did the same.
With her own efforts, Sheng An was admitted to Empire University, and Sheng Le also worked hard. He was admitted too, and was set to graduate this year!
He was about to enter the military, he was about to apply for the Royal Star Fleet!
And now, at this moment, his sister tells him she’s with Zhuo Yun!
Sheng Le, agitated, grabbed Sheng An’s shoulders, "Sis, why didn’t you give me a chance? We’re the ones who grew up together, we are the ones who truly understand each other! Does it really matter whether there’s more fraternal love or romantic love? All I know is that you are incredibly important to me, and for you, I would risk my life!"
"But that’s not romantic love."
Sheng An knew she was someone whose emotional responses were somewhat subdued. She had once thought that apart from her siblings at the orphanage, she wouldn’t make any other friends.
But then, Su Wan appeared, Luo Jina appeared, and the companions from team nine showed up. And after that, Zhuo Yun appeared.
When with everyone, Sheng An still didn’t talk much, but she could feel the warm bonds of friendship.
She lifted her head, looked at Sheng Le with the corners of his eyes reddened, and said softly, "Xiaole, do you remember when you kissed me? At that time, I didn’t really feel anything special."
"You asked which is more, the fraternal love or the romantic love. Does it matter? I want to tell you, if two people are going to get married, then romantic love must outweigh any other kind of feeling."
"Sis..."
Sheng Le suddenly turned around and hugged Sheng An, crying. He was in so much pain, his sister was going to leave with another man.
What hurt even more was that he couldn’t come up with a single thing to say.
If even a kiss had no feeling, then maybe it really had nothing to do with romantic love at all.
