It Is Not Easy To Be A Man After Travelling To The Future 749 Stupid Little Brother!

Ling Lan lowered her head and squeezed Little White furiously as she vented her frustration. (Little White sobbed. Why am I always the only one getting hurt?)

These three people said that they wanted to bring her to see the once-famous character of the Central Scout Academy of Planet Azure, Li Lanfeng. Ling Lan was speechless. However, she couldn't tell them that she was extremely familiar with Li Lanfeng, right?

When she saw how agitated the valedictorian, Yu Zhengyuan, was, Ling Lan felt a little better. Her love for gossip got ignited. Did Li Lanfeng interact with this junior of his before? She remembered how Li s.h.i.+yu worked hard for Li Lanfeng for so many years. It's possible that such a thing happened before. Ling Lan sighed. Why must all the gentle and sincere young men be tricked by sly people?

"He's here." A scout rushed in excitedly.

The cadets that were talking about a moment ago turned silent immediately. Everyone looked towards the door and waited in antic.i.p.ation. The princ.i.p.al of the Central Scout Academy walked in excitedly with a masked young man.

"He's Li Lanfeng!" There was a huge commotion. However, Ling Lan was not attracted to the warm and gentle Li Lanfeng. Instead, her gaze landed on Li s.h.i.+yu who was giving off a cold aura.

Li s.h.i.+yu had a cold expression but he still followed closely behind Li Lanfeng. He seemed to be protecting him.

Ling Lan played with Little White's fur when she saw this. She was curious. Did the two of them make up with each other already? That night, they didn't end on a good note.

Ling Lan recalled that dark and windy night a few days ago…

Ling Lan and Li Lanfeng walked into the study outside the bedroom. Li s.h.i.+yu was already sitting there with a stern face. When he saw the two of them appearing, his gaze turned dark.

Li Lanfeng looked at Li s.h.i.+yu's blackface. His heart dropped. He quickly left the room with the excuse of helping Li s.h.i.+yu and Ling Lan get some tea. He needed to calm down and think of a solution first.

Hence, Ling Lan and Li s.h.i.+yu were left alone in the study. The atmosphere was awkward.

Ling Lan looked down on Li Lanfeng's actions. Since the situation had come to this point, he should just have the courage to face the consequences. Why did he run away at such a crucial moment? Did he think that he could hide from this forever? Also, what did this have to do with her? Why did she seem like a sinner now?

Ling Lan took a deep breath and threw her uneasiness to the back of her mind. She chose a chair casually and sat down. Then, she nodded at Li s.h.i.+yu. "Sit."

Li s.h.i.+yu's eyes twitched when he saw Ling Lan acting like the host. However, he felt better when he saw how blatant Ling Lan was. He chose to sit opposite of Ling Lan. He stared at her intently and asked, "Regiment commander, why are you here…"

Actually, what Li s.h.i.+yu really wanted to ask was: why are you on my eldest cousin's bed?

Ling Lan replied indifferently, "I came to look for you. I saw your windbreaker on the chair outside so I thought that it was your room."

This was the truth. She didn't know that Li Lanfeng was Li Mulan. Also, she arrived when Li Lanfeng lost control of his spiritual power and started advancing forcefully. Ling Lan had a keen sense of spiritual power so she instantly felt this. She had interacted with Li Lanfeng using their spiritual power many times so Ling Lan remembered Li Lanfeng's spiritual element. Thus, the moment Li Lanfeng lost control, Ling Lan knew who the person was.

Li s.h.i.+yu felt slightly guilty when he heard Ling Lan's reply. He thought badly of his Boss just now. However, it was hard not to misunderstand him. The scene just now was…

Wait, something is not right! Li s.h.i.+yu suddenly realized that something was wrong. With his Boss's ability, he should know that the person on the bed wasn't him. Shouldn't his Boss have left quietly? Additionally, his eldest cousin brother would not be able to detect his Boss's presence too as his eldest cousin brother didn't practice any physical skills.

It had to be said that Ling Lan's powerful image was etched deeply into the minds of all the members. At the same time, Li Lanfeng disguised himself well. Li s.h.i.+yu's suspicion arose again.

Ling Lan knew that Li s.h.i.+yu was suspicious but she didn't plan to explain as Li Lanfeng should be the one explaining.

The study turned quiet again. As Li s.h.i.+yu was deciding if he should insist on getting to the bottom of the matter, Li Lanfeng… who was also Li Mulan, entered with a tray. There were three cups of hot tea on it.

He pa.s.sed the first cup to Li s.h.i.+yu before walking to the study table. He placed the tray on the table and walked towards Ling Lan with the two remaining cups. He pa.s.sed one cup to her and sat down beside her.

Li s.h.i.+yu was speechless. Did his Boss manage to seduce his eldest cousin brother in a single night? No, it's not seducing, it's attracting… wait, no, that is not right too. Whatever it was, he didn't feel happy thinking about what had happened.

Ling Lan realized that Li Lanfeng's actions were too natural. It was a habit that acc.u.mulated over the years. It was hard to change within a short period of time.

Ling Lan sighed. If Li s.h.i.+yu was not blinded by disbelief and frustration, he would be able to see through the disguise. No, the truth was, Li s.h.i.+yu unconditionally believed in Li Mulan. Hence, he never thought that Li Mulan would lie to him.

How could Li Mulan bear to trick such a good little brother? How could he bear to trick him for so long? Ling Lan started to support Li s.h.i.+yu. She reprimanded Li Mulan in her mind for what he had done once again.

Ling Lan looked at Li Mulan with an unhappy expression. Li Mulan gave her a helpless look. That year, he was so focused on defying his fate so he didn't care about Li s.h.i.+yu. By the time he regained his senses, Li s.h.i.+yu had already walked on the path of no return. He felt remorse about Li s.h.i.+yu's situation.

The three of them drank their tea silently for a while. Li s.h.i.+yu was not as calm and patient as Ling Lan and Li Mulan. Hence, as expected, he was the first one to break the silence. "So, what is your relations.h.i.+p with my eldest cousin brother, regiment commander? When did you know my eldest cousin brother?"

Ling Lan and Li Mulan didn't talk much, but their silent interaction showed how close they were. Anyone with a brain could see that there was something going on between them.

Ling Lan remained quiet. Li Mulan slowly raised his head. His expression was no longer gentle. There seemed to be a sarcastic expression on it. "My stupid little brother, you still can't see it?"

What a bad opening speech! Ling Lan was speechless. When facing his closest little brother, Li Lanfeng, who always had a clear mind, turned stupid. He chose the worst method to solve the problem. Ling Lan could almost imagine how these two brothers would fall out and never talk to each other again…

As expected, Li s.h.i.+yu widened his eyes as he looked at the change of att.i.tude in his eldest cousin brother. He cursed in his heart. Where did his gentle and warm eldest cousin brother go?

Li Mulan shook his head. He stood up and slowly walked towards Li s.h.i.+yu. He bent down slightly and smiled. "Military Doctor Li, don't disappoint our leader."

Li s.h.i.+yu's face changed. This tone, this voice, this expression. He was familiar with it. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "Li Lanfeng!"

"As expected, you are my stupid little brother." Li Lanfeng smiled gently and touched Li s.h.i.+yu's forehead. Li s.h.i.+yu felt a cold finger landing on his forehead. He suddenly remembered how his eldest cousin brother always pulled him up whenever he falls down and then tap his forehead while saying, "Stupid little brother…"

Li s.h.i.+yu's eyes turned red. He stood up immediately and pushed Li Mulan away. He shouted, "Yes, I'm stupid. That's why I believed in your lies. That's why I thought that you are sick and worked so hard towards becoming a military doctor…"

He looked at Ling Lan furiously. "You two knew the truth, only I didn't. Do you all think that it's funny to watch an idiot working so hard for something non-existent?"

"Hmph!" Ling Lan's cold voice entered Li s.h.i.+yu's mind. It calmed his anger down.

"If your brother didn't meet me, his ending would be just like what you imagined," Ling Lan replied indifferently. She decided to help Li Lanfeng. She could tell that if she let Li Lanfeng handle this on his own, the result would be disastrous. She didn't want the two important members on her team to be in conflict. Hence, she had no choice but to step in.

Since she was unable to escape from this responsibility, it's better for her to solve it directly. Ling Lan preferred to solve things immediately. She didn't like to drag it until the end like Li Lanfeng.

Li Mulan looked at her with grat.i.tude. Indeed, he didn't know how to face Li s.h.i.+yu.

Li s.h.i.+yu had already calmed down. He recalled what his eldest cousin brother had told him when he came back. Seems like not everything was a lie. However, Li s.h.i.+yu still felt his heart aching. It was not because of the lies. It was because all these while, his eldest cousin brother, Li Mulan, had been beside him. Yet, he didn't tell him anything.

If he didn't b.u.mp into his eldest cousin brother and his boss today, would he be hidden from the truth his whole life? Wouldn't he really become a stupid little brother in Li Mulan's eyes if that was the case?
