Chapter 8 Fall from the Roof
I thought the Flower Viewing Banquet matter would just pass like that, but I didn't expect Jiang Zeyu to stick to me even more.
He seemed terrified that this incident would leave me with a shadow, so he started watching me every moment, almost inseparable from me.
After being stuck to fiercely for several days, I was annoyed beyond endurance.
Excessive. Truly excessive. Even when I went to the toilet, he had to stand guard outside the outhouse!
Damn Jiang Zeyu, I cursed inwardly.
In the middle of the night, I climbed onto the roof and looked up to admire the moon.
I didn't believe that even if I hid on the roof, he could still find me.
But unfortunately, sometimes people are just that unlucky.
"Jiaojiao, why did you run up to the roof?
"Come down quickly. It's dangerous."
Jiang Zeyu stood below, looking at me with a face full of worry.
"I won't, I won't, I just won't." I shook my head in refusal.
If I went down, he would definitely pull me into the room like yesterday and tell me stories to coax me to sleep.
Telling stories was one thing, but they were those enlightenment stories for toddlers.
It always made me feel like I was being treated as an idiot.
How old was I already, still listening to this kind of thing!
Seeing me shake my head in refusal, Jiang Zeyu sighed lightly and looked at me helplessly.
Just when I was proudly thinking he would turn and leave, he suddenly tapped his toes and flew up onto the roof, sitting beside me.
I fell into silence.
Careless. I forgot this guy knew Qinggong.
Thinking of how I had just clumsily climbed onto the roof while he just tapped his toes and came up.
I couldn't help feeling indignant.
Sure enough, the gap between people was huge.
After a long silence, I started casually chatting with Jiang Zeyu. "Why do you think you're my mother?"
I asked the question I had been curious about for a long time.
Hearing this, Jiang Zeyu froze. He lowered his eyes for a while before speaking softly. "Because the moment I saw you, I couldn't help feeling joyful, and I always involuntarily worry about this and that for you.
"Terrified that some bad boy outside will trick you away.
"Isn't there a saying, 'the hearts of parents under heaven are pitiful'? I feel it fits my situation very well."
The moment the words fell, the corner of my mouth twitched.
I considered myself always well-behaved. Where exactly had I gone wrong to make him worry so much about me being tricked by bad men?
"Then why do you think you're my mother instead of my father?" I held back my full heart of helplessness and continued.
Jiang Zeyu couldn't help retorting, "Men aren't that meticulous. Only as a Mother would one worry so much."
Looking at Jiang Zeyu's righteous appearance, my gaze gradually grew complicated.
That wasn't necessarily true. After all, you are a man, but you're also very meticulous, I thought to myself.
Sure enough, his brain was still broken from the fall. He couldn't even recognize gender clearly.
After thinking, I still gently advised, "Maybe this is just an Older Brother's worry for his younger sister?
"Have you never thought that you're my Older Brother?"
Jiang Zeyu's brows furrowed slightly. He murmured in a low voice, "How could an Older Brother pay this much attention to his younger sister.
"This concern is way too much."
Hearing this, I froze. An unbelievable thought popped up.
Could he like me?
Because he felt a normal Older Brother wouldn't care about his younger sister this much, so he didn't think he was my Older Brother.
After cracking his head, he mistook this kind of feeling for maternal love?
Thinking of this, I was so shocked I stood up.
Too shocked, I forgot I was still on the roof.
The moment I stood up, I lost my balance for a second and fell from the roof.
"Jiaojiao." Jiang Zeyu instinctively grabbed my hand.
He was pulled down by me, and we faced each other completely.
In the moment before hitting the ground, Jiang Zeyu exerted force with his hand, switched positions with me, and blocked beneath me.
"Ugh." He let out a muffled grunt and fainted.
"Jiang Zeyu." I panicked and helped him up.
When I touched the warm, wet liquid at the back of his head, my whole person panicked.
He hit his head.
Realizing this, I quickly got up and ran to find Parents.
