Brotherly Disrespect

Xie Wenyu is handsome and can play basketball, so his relationship with the opposite sex has always been very good. There were quite a few girls in school who wanted to date him——informally.

This is the social culture of the West. It will not immediately develop into a serious boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, instead, by being together, they could get to know each other better and then decide whether to fall in love.

In the past, Xie Wenyu and An Ran were together, so he naturally rejected all the overtures of female schoolmates. Now that he is single again, Xie Wenyu still dare not agree to them.

Frankly speaking, Xie Wenyu was even a little scared of them.

Perhaps it was the last relationship that made him realize that it takes a lot of energy and thought to date a girl. If you can’t do it, don’t start rashly. Otherwise, casually agreeing to other people’s pursuits without taking it seriously, what is the difference between this and a scumbag who plays with emotions?

So Xie Wenyu only spends time on studies and basketball.

Recently, Xie Wenyu has an out-of-school activity——practicing driving.

After finishing the driver’s license test in China, Xie Wenyu hasn’t had a chance to really hit the road. When he came to the United States this time, he not only changed his local driver’s license, but also bought a second-hand car with the support of his parents. He and his brother will take turns driving it.

Officially driving for the first time, Xie Wenyu was very nervous. He asked his brother to accompany him to avoid confusion in the event of an accident.

Xie Wenkai was free this day, so he agreed. He sat in the passenger seat and looked at Xie Wenyu from the side. He was holding the steering wheel firmly with both hands, his facial expression was tense, and he didn’t even dare blink his eyes. He looked as if he was facing an enemy.

Xie Wenkai: “Are you going on the road or going to the execution?”

Xie Wenyu: “Don’t talk to affect me!”

Xie Wenkai raised his eyebrows and really stopped talking.

On the way, Xie Wenyu passed several intersections safely and smoothly, but because he was too nervous, he forgot to turn on the lights when changing lanes and directly inserted into the right lane.

The car behind him honked at him with an abrupt and piercing sound. Xie Wenyu was so shocked that a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his face turned pale.

Soon, the car behind changed lanes to pass him, and the owner lowered the window and yelled “fuck” at him.

Xie Wenyu blushed and vented his anger on his brother: “Why didn’t you remind me to turn on the lights?”

Xie Wenkai: “You told me not to talk.”

Xie Wenyu: “If I tell you not to talk, then you will really not talk?”

Xie Wenkai let out a calm “en”.

“…” Xie Wenyu had nothing to say.

After a long time, he sullenly said: “I was wrong.”

Xie Wenkai: “Where are you wrong?”

Xie Wenyu: “Don’t go too far—”

“Put me at the subway entrance in front,” Xie Wenkai interrupted, “I’ll go back to school to get some materials.”

Xie Wenyu immediately locked the car door: “It’s because I cannot tell good from bad, I’m unreasonable, and it’s all my fault.”

Xie Wenkai looked at him.

Xie Wenyu: “Ge, can you drive home with me before going to school?”

Xie Wenkai reluctantly said, “Okay.”

Xie Wenyu gritted his teeth and endured.

For the rest of the journey, when Xie Wenyu almost made a mistake, Xie Wenkai reminded him in time. With his brother sitting beside him, Xie Wenyu felt reassured. He slowly relaxed and drove the car back home unimpeded.

Later, Xie Wenyu begged his brother to practice driving with him a few times. Only after he had accumulated enough experience did he dare to go on the road alone.

From empty roads to crowded roads, from urban roads to expressways, Xie Wenyu drove for two to three months and became more and more experienced, becoming a qualified driver.

In the blink of an eye, the annual Christmas holiday approached.

The day before the holiday, Xie Wenyu was going to attend his department’s Christmas party. Because it was not easy to park there, Xie Wenyu asked his brother to send him there.

Xie Wenkai had just attended an international conference that day, and he was still wearing a full suit of formal attire. Fatigue was evident between his brows, but he did not refuse Xie Wenyu’s request.

In the car, Xie Wenkai took a sip of water, unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, restrained his fatigue, looked at Xie Wenyu in the passenger seat, and asked Xie Wenyu the address of the party.

Xie Wenyu was replying to a message and said while typing: “Ge, you drive to Arthur Avenue first, I have two classmates there, and they want to take a ride.”

Xie Wenkai followed suit.

There was a lot of traffic on Arthur Avenue, so it took some time to pick up Xie Wenyu’s two classmates. They were a man and a woman, both Chinese. The man’s name was Fang Yang, and the woman’s name was Ding Lu. They were Xie Wenyu’s best friends in the class.

Sitting in the car, Xie Wenyu was taken aback by Fang Yang. The makeup on this man’s face was thicker than Ding Lu’s, especially the eyeliner, which almost flew into the sky.

However, his face was still calm. He briefly introduced the two friends to his brother. After Xie Wenkai listened, he looked through the rearview mirror and nodded to the two people in the back seat as a greeting.

The road was quiet, no one spoke.

Xie Wenyu knows Fang Yang and Ding Lu very well. These two people usually talk a lot, otherwise they would not have played together. Today, he don’t know if it was because of his brother’s presence, but the two of them remained silent the whole time, even sitting in a dignified posture.

When approaching the party spot, Xie Wenkai’s car was stopped by the traffic police officer. There was a rear-end collision ahead, and the officer asked Xie Wenkai to detour.

Xie Wenkai exchanged a few words with the traffic officer briefly, and finally took some time to send the three of them to the party spot after a detour.

After getting out of the car, Ding Lu grabbed Xie Wenyu’s arm, too excited to speak.

Xie Wenyu looked at her: “What’s wrong?”

Ding Lu : “I’m going to die, your brother’s Cockney accent is so sexy!”

Xie Wenyu looked confused: “Why can’t I hear it?”

Ding Lu rolled her eyes, turned her head and whispered to Fang Yang.

In an instant, Fang Yang showed a malicious smile: “You and your brother don’t look alike at all, are you really brothers?”

Xie Wenyu: “What’s not alike? We were born from the same parents, blood related brothers who couldn’t be any closer.”

Fang Yang: “How is your relationship?”

Xie Wenyu: “It’s pretty good.”

Fang Yang: “Then do you know if your brother is single?”

Xie Wenyu: “Single.”

Seeing Fang Yang’s smile deepen, Xie Wenyu hurriedly said: “My Ge doesn’t like men, don’t even think about it.”

Ding Lu asked: “What about women?

Xie Wenyu: “Uh… He should.”

In fact, in Xie Wenyu’s eyes, his brother Xie Wenkai is a high mountain flower.

From childhood to adulthood, according to Xie Wenyu’s observation, his brother has never been in love, and he is indifferent to everyone. It seems that he only shows a slightly friendly side to his family.

Xie Wenyu really can’t imagine what it’s like for his brother to fall in love.

Regardless of whether he was with a man or a woman, just thinking about how his brother would greet and talk sweetly to others, Xie Wenyu felt a strange feeling in his heart.

In addition to being weird, Xie Wenyu felt a little out of sorts when he thought of his brother’s tolerance and patience towards him being one day used on others. It was like his favorite toy was taken away when he was a child. He couldn’t tell what was wrong, but when he heard Fang Yang and Ding Lu chattering about how handsome Xie Wenkai was and how suave his accent was, he suddenly began to feel uncomfortable.

He has never thought that his two good friends talk too much like now.
