Yichen, who was startled by the falling of an item, raised his head reflexively, only to spot his gift to Youyou before .
“Eh?”
He released his brother at once to pick up that delicate gift box at once .
The packaging was still intact; even the b.u.t.terfly knot had yet to be pulled out at all .
It was just that its external packaging showed traces of wear and tear, as if it were played around with often .
Why was it unopened even now?
Having specially picked this gift and spent a lot of effort in obtaining it, he only hoped that his brother would find it to his liking .
Did little brother not like his gift?
Advertis.e.m.e.nt It was to the extent that he did not even deign to open it .
Youyou got up from the ground . Brushing dust off his shirt, from his periphery, he caught a glimpse of his brother holding the gift box . He frowned in contemplation and then his gaze landed on the object again . With his face bizarrely red, he immediately stepped forward .
“Return that to me!”
He reached out to take it back but grasped nothing .
Yichen avoided his hand and raised his head; the gaze he regarded him appeared to be lost . “This… It"s the gift I gave you . ”
“Yes . ” The younger boy pinched the corner of his shirt . Pursing his lips in anxiety, he feigned coolness as he raised his proud chin .
His rosy little lips pressed into a tight line .
“Why didn"t you open it?” the older lad asked curiously .
“I-I…” The younger twin frowned and faltered for a long time before suddenly shooting him a glance full of irritation . “Why do you ask this? You don"t have to bother!”
The older one, who was already used to his cold and proud personality, was not cowed by it . Seeing that his carefully selected gift did not seem to gain his little brother"s favor, he was inevitably disappointed .
“This gift – I took a long time picking it . ”
“So what…” Sensing his desolation, the younger boy"s heart seemed to have been p.r.i.c.ked; his att.i.tude could not help but soften a little .
“So I hope that you will like it . ” The older boy raised his brow and then suddenly gave a self-deprecating smile . “You don"t seem to like it, though . ”
“Do you not like this present…” he asked, his face drooping from sadness .
The younger twin faltered for a while and then haltingly replied, “It… It"s not like that! It"s just that…”
“Forget it if you don"t like it . Sigh…”
With that, Yichen stuffed the gift into his pocket with a grievous look .
Youyou was frantic now . Rushing up to him, he tightly held his wrist and asked with displeasure, “What are you doing?”
Seeing how nervous he suddenly looked, for a moment, the older boy was confused . “Don"t you dislike this gift?”
“Even if I dislike it, you can"t take it back still!” He frowned in righteous indignation . “You gave it to me, didn"t you?”
“… Well, yes,” the other replied .
“At least, let me see what exactly it is, and then I"ll decide whether I like it or not!” he bashfully declared . “I haven"t opened it yet, have I?”
It was because, for reasons unknown, he could not bear to open it .
The older boy found this brother of his to be very contradictory . One moment, he did not like it; another moment, he wanted to see it to decide whether he liked it or not .
In the end, did he like it or not?
“Anyway, I don"t care . You gave that to me, so it"s technically mine . There"s no sense for you to take it back!” With that, the younger lad s.n.a.t.c.hed it from his hand .
In his revelation, the older kid suddenly got what he was feeling awkward about .
