He said he doesn't love me

"Do you... really want to go? How about I take you there when I'm done with my busy schedule? Don't you want to learn horse riding? Let's learn horse riding first, and then go after we learn it. We should be free by then." Sun Li comforted him while driving.

Brother, it’s not that I don’t want you to go. If I agree to let you go, my elder and second brothers will definitely skin me alive.

Sun Ran said nothing upon hearing this, immersed in his own world.

Of course he knew that Sun Li and the others could take him to see the Northern Lights, but it was different. He wanted to win this opportunity by himself, not relying on his brothers. He wanted to be a person with dreams and aspirations, not a salted fish.

"Brother... why don't you let me go? Don't you think I'm not qualified for the job of a model? Or do you think it would be a disgrace to the Sun family if I were a model?" He didn't understand why they didn't allow him to go. It was just a competition, and the designer was Sun Li's boyfriend. What was he afraid of?

Sun Li sighed and said nothing more.

For the first time, Sun Ran felt that his original life might not be good. Although he had money and power, he did not even have the right to pursue freedom.

As for me, although work is very hard, at least I can go out and play whenever I want. Unlike my original self, I wanted to rely on myself to win the opportunity to travel, so I was warned by my brother with a stern look.

I didn't tell him why it wasn't possible, I just said no, not allowed, not allowed.

They were silent all the way. When they got home, Sun Ran got out of the car without even saying hello and went straight to his room. Then he locked himself in the room. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Sun Qing pulled Sun Li to ask.

Sun Li had no choice but to explain the situation in detail. Sun Qing just shook his head silently after listening: "Big brother and second brother will not let him go out. Last time he went out to play for a while, but when he came back he insisted on marrying Li Cheng and even had a quarrel with us. Big brother and second brother will not let him go this time no matter what."

Sun Li: "Actually, whether he goes or not is not the point. It seems like the youngest is really frustrated and this can't go on. We can pay him to go, but that is different from the prize he earned through his own hard work."

Sun Qing: "What can we do? You go call the boss? Do you dare?"

“I dare not.” Sun Li went to check the cat’s nest in the corner. Doubao was sleeping soundly, and some of the cat food next to him had been eaten. It seemed that he was starving while wandering outside.

"This won't do. I'll go make the phone calls. No matter how angry they are, they can't just watch their youngest go on like this. What if they get suffocated?" Sun Li called his eldest brother Sun Qi without thinking twice.

It kept showing no one answered the call until the second one. Someone picked up the phone. Sun Qi said he wanted to video chat and then hung up.

Sun Li obediently made the video call, and Sun Qi's face appeared on the screen. Maybe because he had just finished a meeting, Sun Qi did not look in a good mood.

Sun Li had been afraid of this elder brother since he was a child, and he didn't know how to start. Sun Qi sighed and said, "Why, do you want me to start for you?"

Sun Qing took the phone and said hello: "Good evening, brother."

"Let's talk about something. I'm busy." Sun Qi raised his hand to loosen his tie and said to the computer screen: "Where's the youngest? Didn't you say you brought him back? Let him talk to me."

"Brother, what we want to talk about is related to our youngest son. The thing is..." Sun Qing told Sun Qi the whole story in its entirety. He originally thought that Sun Qi would be more friendly when he heard that Sun Ran wanted to go and knew that Sun Ran had an injury on his hand.

Unexpectedly, he just hummed after listening, indicating that he didn't want to listen anymore: "Okay, I got it, call him over, and then you two go back to the room."

Sun Qing swallowed and said, "Take care, my dear!"

Sun Qi spoke, and the two brothers did not dare to resist. Sun Li had to go upstairs to call Sun Ran, and then took Sun Qing back to their rooms.

Sun Ran was originally playing games when he was called down by Sun Li. Before he could figure out the situation, he saw the handsome face on the screen. He looked somewhat similar to Sun Qing and Sun Li, but he had a bit more majesty as a superior than them.

I think this person should be the current person in charge of the Sun family, their eldest brother, Sun Qi.

"What, are you mute?" Sun Qi leaned back, thinking that he didn't need to be shy since he was his brother, and raised his hand to unbutton the two buttons on his shirt, revealing his neck and Adam's apple. Sun Ran didn't know what to say, he was afraid that he would be exposed as soon as he opened his mouth.

Sun Ran grew up in his eldest brother's arms when he was still a baby. After his mother gave birth to him, she thought that the oldest brothers, Sun Qi and Sun Yan, were already in their twenties, so it would be okay to take care of a younger one, so she went traveling abroad with peace of mind.

So at that time, Sun Qi and Sun Yan were working while taking care of Sun Li and Sun Qing, who had just entered the first grade of junior high school, and Sun Ran, who was born not long ago.

Sun Qi and Sun Yan can be said to be both brothers and fathers. Unexpectedly, when the little guy grows up, he will use all the swear words he knows on his brother.

"If you don't talk, I'll hang up. I'm not as idle as you." He was about to hang up when Sun Ran spoke up, "Brother..."

"Oh, you're not mute? I thought you couldn't even speak after you got married. Tell me what's the matter." He didn't want to look at Sun Ran's face. He wanted to soften his heart as soon as he saw it, but Sun Ran could say such words to them, which was really disheartening.

"Brother, I want to participate in that competition, please agree? If you don't agree, my third and fourth brothers will definitely not let me go..." Sun Ran looked straight at Sun Qi's face, his big eyes blinking in a cute way.

But Sun Qi was immune to this trick: "Have you forgotten what you told me? Do you need me to help you recall it, huh?"

what?

Did the original body say something to this brother? Or do the two of them have some unspeakable secret? !

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Sun Qi's tone turned cold: "Sun Ran, two years ago, you knelt in front of me and said that as long as I agreed to your marriage with Li Cheng, you would never return to the Sun family from now on. You don't even want to be a member of my Sun family, how come you forgot so quickly?"

Sun Ran widened his eyes in disbelief: "I..."

It's not me, I...

Sun Ran, for the sake of Li Cheng, you can actually say such words to the brother who raised you? !

What's so good about Li Cheng? !

"What do you mean by 'you'?! Sun Ran, don't say that I look down on you. I don't look down on you at all. If you want to get married, go ahead and get married. But please get out of the Sun family now. You are not welcome here." After he said that, he hung up the video without giving Sun Ran a chance to explain.

The two people who were eavesdropping upstairs were so scared that they rushed down immediately, and the anxiety in their eyes seemed to roast Sun Ran.

"My son, don't listen to what your big brother says. He is just like that." Sun Li hugged him in his arms, and Sun Qing immediately poured him a glass of water.

"Yes, yes, you know this kind of person, Big Brother. He is good at saying one thing and thinking another. Let's not listen to his nonsense. Why would Big Brother chase you away?"

However, Sun Ran seemed to be unable to hear their conversation. After taking a few deep breaths, he called the video again.

The two men couldn't understand this operation, but the eldest brother didn't let them eavesdrop. If they were discovered, they would be in trouble. So they hurried upstairs and continued to eavesdrop in the corner.

Sun Qi looked at the popping video call invitation and raised the corner of his mouth slightly. Not bad, he dared to call back.

It seems that what the third child said is right, the youngest child seems to have matured. In the past, if he was told this, he would probably cry until tomorrow and still not repent.

He picked up the video and Sun Ran sat up straight: "Brother, I'm sorry!"

Sun Qi was stunned, but after all, he was a man who had experienced many ups and downs. In a moment, he regained his cold expression and waited for Sun Ran's next words.

"Brother, I know that you are very angry about my decision to marry Li Cheng without caring about anything. But now I have thought it through. There should not be only him in my life. There should also be dreams, pursuits, the freedom I love, and everything I want!"

Sun Ran looked at Sun Qi without a trace of fear on his face, as if he had made up his mind: "Brother, I hope you can agree to let me participate in the competition. No matter what the result is, I want to give it a try. I am Sun Ran, not a canary. I know that the brothers don't let me show up in public because they want to protect me. But brother, I don't want this. I want to have something that belongs to me, even if the reward is nothing in your eyes, but it is earned by my own efforts, and this experience and the setbacks I have to face are also priceless."

Sun Qi didn't seem to expect him to say this. He had already prepared to face the crying Sun Ran, and he had also prepared to disagree no matter what. After all, he really didn't want to hear those hurtful words from his beloved brother again.

But Sun Ran's first words were to apologize, which left him speechless.

"Sun Ran, you said so much just to participate in the competition?"

"Yes! But this is not just a competition. This is a way for me to prove myself to you. I hope you can agree. I have thought a lot during this period. I was too willful and hurt you. I hope you can forgive me..."

Sun Qi attacked him with words: "Just because you apologized, can those words be treated as if they were never said? Sun Ran, what you said is your own karma, no matter what the cost. You severed ties with us in order to get married, and now what are you making a fuss about? Do you think my Sun family is a place where you can come and go as you please?"

"Don't forget, the agreement between you and me is clearly written. Unless it's a matter of life or death, you will never set foot in the Sun family from now on. Do you need me to show you the written agreement?"

Sun Ran suddenly lost his temper. He thought about what his original body would say, but he never thought about...

They actually signed a document.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Sun Qi took out a document. On it was the contract signed between the original body and them. It clearly stated:

From today on, I, Sun Ran, will voluntarily leave the Sun family. From now on, unless it is a matter of life and death, I will never set foot in the Sun family.

Below are the signatures of the five brothers, but only Sun Qi and Sun Ran put their fingerprints on it, so Sun Qi said that this was an agreement between him and himself.

It seems that the other three brothers were just witnesses.

"Brother... am I doomed to have no turning back after I made a mistake?" Sun Ran's eyes were moist. What on earth did Li Cheng do to Sun Ran to make this pampered young master pay so much to go with him?

"Yes, you said it yourself. I didn't force you to do it." Sun Qi turned his head away from him. After calming down for a while, he focused his eyes on the screen again and saw Sun Ran slowly pulling up the sleeve of his left hand, revealing the bandaged wound.

"Brother... I have died once, can you forgive me... I really know I was wrong." He closed his eyes, his mind was in a mess, he couldn't tell whether it was his memory or the memory of his original body.

Like a pot of paste, it surrounded him and left him isolated and helpless.

"I thought that as long as I left the Sun family, I would have the freedom I wanted and the care I expected, but it's not like that. You only care about making money, and we only see each other a few times a year. I see other people's parents pick them up every day, and I envy them..."

"But I cannot deny that they envy me, too. They envy me for having everything I need, but I envy them for having people who care about them and protect them. At this time, Li Cheng appeared, and when I was about to collapse, he gave me an umbrella. Maybe he has forgotten... But I remember clearly that he told me that my brothers loved me, and they wanted to give me a better life."

Sun Qi looked at him, trying to see the panic and guilt on his face due to lying, but there was none, he still stared at him straight.

"But you guys are so busy, it makes me feel... that all this is because of me. Without me, you wouldn't have to work so hard. Or let me be with you, even though I know I can't help at all, but at least... at least I won't feel like a burden."

Sun Li and Sun Qing had naturally heard this. Their little brother, who they had neglected to care for, had always been well-behaved and cute. When had he...

Sun Ran, has always felt that he is a burden?

So he wanted to escape, and the appearance of Li Cheng was undoubtedly the best way. Get married, leave home legitimately, and have the life he wanted.

However, life after marriage was not as good as he had imagined. His spirit was slowly corroded and turned into a volcano that could erupt at any time.

His brothers took him home and told him through their actions: Even if we quarrel, we are still the closest people.

"Brother... I took the wrong road, but there is no way back. I am trapped in the middle, without land and wings. Please forgive me, I know I was wrong..."

Sadness and grievance burst out, I don't know if he was crying, or this body was venting, venting those countless nights of self-doubt, those countless days of regret but no one understood...

Sun Qi sighed, "I have never blamed you. Since you know you are wrong, go ahead and win an award. Go see the scenery you want to see on your own. Your brothers will always be by your side. My dear, your brothers have never felt that you are a burden. We love you and care about you, so we work hard to give you a good life and a better future!"

"Don't cry. Ask your third brother to cook you a bowl of noodles. You've lost weight. Stop eavesdropping upstairs. Hurry up and give him his coat. Don't catch a cold again."

Sun Qi hung up the video and couldn’t come back to his senses for a long time.

When did he forget that what his brother needed most might not be money, but companionship?
