Serena's call came before I entered the Third Ring Road.

"Hey, Serena, I'm not home yet. Why are you so unhappy today? You're still so fierce to that girl..."

"I'm sorry, I should have told you about this earlier." The voice on the other end of the phone was still lackluster.

"...If I don't know how to speak, it's okay."

"Did my mother tell you about the child?"

I roughly told Serena about my conversation with my aunt until the last question my aunt asked me.

"How did you answer?"

"What do you want me to answer?"

The other end of the phone thought for a while: "You are such a soft-hearted person, why don't you just promise my mother?"

"Haha, how can I be so obedient? I told my aunt that I can't promise her a child, but I will respect you and your family."

"That's different from making a promise! Oh...you..."

"Then what do you want me to say? 'I don't care if the old man lives or dies, I just want us two to be happy!'? Do you want me to say that?" I couldn't help but speak faster, and my voice became agitated.As soon as I said these inappropriate words, I regretted it, and I calmed down: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

There was a long silence on the phone: "Then... what shall we do in the future?"

I pulled over because I couldn't concentrate on driving anymore. "Serena, your family loves you very much, do you understand? Now that your grandfather is so ill, you must not provoke him. Just for your family, just for me, you have to listen to him, you Do you know? Can you promise me?"

"But……"

"Listen to me! Our lives are still long, and our families won't be with us forever. Did I tell you about my grandpa? Now I don't have the chance to listen to him. I don't want You will have the same regrets as me in the future." The weather was very stuffy, which made it difficult for me to breathe, I covered the microphone and took a deep breath, swallowing a choked sob. "As for us... Isn't it good to take a step back? Even if we are not lovers, we are still friends and good brothers. You know, I will always care and love you like a younger brother. This is never changing."

I can't hear the voice from the other end, I don't think Serena will feel better than me.

"Heh, let me tell you, Xiaotao's mid-term grades have come down, and he's top 5 in the class, isn't he amazing? Do you think I should ask him to charge tuition fees? By the way, Zhuangzhuang has learned to poop in cat litter. As soon as the little guy saw me coming home, he acted coquettishly, he was so miserable, haha..."

Later, I tried my best to tell Serena about the recent events. Some things have already been mentioned in the daily text messages and online chats, but I still want to say them again.I don't think I can close my throat or something will rush up to block it without hesitation.There was no sound from the other end at first, and then gradually began to respond a little, and finally heard the laughter I am most familiar with and favorite.He called me brother again, well, that's good.

"That Lina, she still looks so good, why are you so cruel to her?"

"Growing up together, why do you feel that way? It used to be better, but after studying abroad for a few years, it became...unbearable..."

"Hehe, isn't it cute?"

"Cut! You just talk sarcasticly, don't you can't stand the girl who is Jiao Didi the most? Why don't you go pick one like this and let me see?"

"Haha, I'll save it." The two of us smirked at the phone for a while.

"Brother, you have to take good care of yourself."

"It's your turn to ask me when it's time to let go, right? I used to take care of you, right? But I should miss your cooking, hehe..."
