The heavy rain flooded the entire city.

In a corner of the open-air parking lot, several people sat facing each other and fell into a brief silence.

Ye Zhen followed the line of sight of this talented chess player and turned his head to see Ye Kong, who was soaking wet.

She never raised her head from beginning to end, and even at this moment, she still kept her head down, exuding a cold air that showed a refusal to communicate.

The man under the black umbrella smiled and said, "Why don't you look up at me, Ye Shiyi."

"Or did you throw away all the old ones now that you have a new brother?"

When the key words were triggered, Ye Zhen immediately looked at Yuan Ye, and his face reflexively showed a top actor's smile: "Mr. Yuan, do you know my sister?"

Seeing him blocking Ye Kong behind him without leaving any trace, Yuan Ye sneered disapprovingly for some reason: "Your sister? Your biological sister?"

He tilted his head under the umbrella and looked past Ye Zhen at Ye Kong behind him: "You actually have a biological brother, don't you have a biological father and mother?"

Ye Kong didn't say anything.

However, Ye Zhen could hear some kind of cold provocation and malice in his tone. He suppressed his formal smile, and his eyes, which were somewhat similar to Ye Kong's, narrowed slightly, and a defiant and cold aura gradually emerged.

"It seems that Mr. Yuan has some connection with my sister?"

"Origin? Probably."

The man smiled, his eyes fixed on Ye Kong without moving away, "It would be more appropriate to say it is a bad fate - otherwise, why hasn't she dared to look up at me until now?"

"You said so, right? Ye Shiyi?"

"..."

Ye Kong let out a long breath, shook his head to shake off the water droplets on his hair, and then looked over.

In fact, she was not embarrassed or guilty at all. She looked straight at the other side with her dark eyes: "Who do you say dare not look at you?"

The rain was pouring down, and the black umbrella was hitting with crackling sounds.

The splattered raindrops were like broken glass, dimly reflecting the two people facing each other in silence.

Although he was standing at the scene and standing nearby, Ye Zhen had the illusion that he was not there at that moment.

It is probably a unique bond that is difficult to break even if they are enemies.

Even though Ye Zhen didn't know anything yet, he still felt unhappy for many seconds.

Just when he was about to speak to break the atmosphere, Yuanye suddenly laughed.

Yuanye, a genius who emerged out of nowhere in the chess world and became famous at a young age, is now just entering the stage of adulthood.

He has always been famous for his image of an iceberg who keeps people at a distance and rarely smiles. But when he suddenly smiled at this moment, there was a kind of wild beauty like the howling wind and flying weeds in the wilderness.

He took a step out of the umbrella, getting wet in the rain without caring, crossed the distance between them, and walked in front of Ye Kong.

"really?"

Before Ye Zhen could stop him, he leaned closer to Ye Kong's face and said, "Then why don't you want to look at me? After all, we haven't seen each other for a few years. Do you still hate me so much? Or do you not want to use my face to remind you of that person?"

"..." Ye Kong pushed away Xiao Lan's hand holding the umbrella. She raised her head, letting the raindrops fall into her dark eyes, and then used these extremely indifferent glasses to reflect Yuan Ye's face.

She said nothing, as if she was too lazy to talk.

But the smile on Yuanye's face faded away bit by bit.

His slightly curly black hair hung wetly on his forehead, making his cold face look even more dishevelled.

He no longer insisted on talking to Ye Kong. He tilted his head slightly, his eyes still fixed on Ye Kong, but he spoke to Ye Zhen: "Hey, sir, did she call you brother?"

Ye Zhen had just opened the umbrella for Ye Kong. Hearing this, his brows moved, and he smiled calmly: "What else? If she doesn't call me brother, what else should she call me?"

"Then you broke your promise."

Yuan Ye took two steps back, looking at Ye Kong with his hands in his pockets: "You said that I will only have one brother in this life, or does it mean that once a person dies, his words will no longer count?"

Ye Kong: ...

Ye Zhen's hand paused, and he used a lot of strength to restrain his conditioned reflex to look suddenly at Ye Kong.

Ye Kong suddenly laughed: "You, how come you act like you have a good relationship with your brother? And you're even standing up for him?"

Yuan Ye's expressionless face became even colder, but Ye Kong took a step forward: "Do you want me to remind you? When he was still alive, how bad and cold were your attitude towards him? How many times did he treat you with the cold shoulder?"

"You come to pretend to be a good brother in front of me now?" Ye Kong tilted her head slightly, the rain condensed on the ends of her hair and then dripped heavily, "Aren't you pretending too much?"

"..."

Lightning suddenly struck in the sky over the city, and the pale light shot through the distant buildings, briefly illuminating the pale face of the wilderness.

The corners of his mouth twitched as he smiled, but he didn't speak to her anymore. Instead, he said to Ye Zhen, "You know what? We were all very curious before whether Ye Shiyi's biological parents existed or not, because we thought that a monster like her shouldn't be born by humans, or in other words, if her family really existed in this world, they must all be mentally ill."

His brown eyeballs moved slightly, and his cold pupils swept across Ye Zhen's face. He said in a voice as light as his gaze, "You better be careful. The last person Ye Shiyi called brother was also killed by her own hands."

"..."

……

The talented chess player walked away holding an umbrella.

His back was so solemn as if he had just attended a funeral.

The few people who were left behind were all silent.

The first to break the silence was Ye Zhen. He stretched out his arm and pulled Ye Kong's shoulders, which were still wet in the rain, under the umbrella, and walked forward with her under his arm, frowning.

"What kind of psychopath do you know? You made me stand outside in the rain for so long. If I catch a cold later, I'll come after you!"

Ye Kong struggled with his arms: "Let go."

"Loose your ass, if you catch a cold I'll be scolded to death by my mom too, stop hurting me."

Ye Kong was held by him like a doll and stumbled into the car.

On the way home, Xiao Lan was busy using a towel and a hair dryer to dry Ye Kong's hair and body, while Ye Zhen was playing games with a towel on his head as if nothing had happened.

But behind the extremely loud game special effects sound, he also sent a threatening message to each of his two assistants.

"Whoever dares to reveal a single word of what I heard and saw today will be dead."

"Deducting wages and firing are just minor matters. You don't want to really provoke me, right?"

Behind the seemingly calm questioning, there was a hidden danger that he had never exposed to anyone. Even though the two assistants still had some thoughts in their minds, they did not dare to delay and immediately made a promise.

After sending the message, when I jumped back to the game page, the character was already dead.

In the brief interval, Ye Zhen turned his head and looked at the rain outside the window, a little absent-minded.

Although he knew that he couldn't ask, and would even pretend that nothing had happened, only he knew how... confused he was at the moment.

What does it mean to have only one brother in this life?

Could it be that the reason this guy refused to call him brother was because someone else had gotten there first and even made her promise that "I only have one brother in this life"?

Ye Zhen: …

Although I don’t seem to be very fond of this sister, but...

I'm so unhappy! I'm going crazy with the unhappiness!

Ye Zhen leaned back in his chair silently, closed his eyes expressionlessly, but clenched his fingers so tightly that they made several snapping sounds.
