Chapter 239: Siblinghood

Macau Bay was Macau’s most famous and scenic beach.

It was the first of May, a holiday. Many tourists from mainland China came to Macau. The beach was filled with people and laughter could be heard.

The sea breeze blew on her face with a trace of a wet fishy smell. It was the unique smell of the sea. In the distance, flocks of seabirds were flying high in the sky, while the sun was up and blazing. Jian Ai wiped some sunscreen on her body and layed on the beach to bask in the sun.

The phone rang. Jian Ai picked it up and saw the caller ID: Bro Wu Bi.

“Brother Wu Bi,” Jian Ai said after pressing the answer button.

Wu Bi’s low chuckle came from the other end of the phone. “Girl, how’s your May 1 holiday? Do you want to come over and play for two days?”

Wu Bi’s tone was light and gentle.

From the beginning, he had always addressed Jian Ai as ‘girl.’ And by then, Jian Ai had gotten used to it. Hearing this, she couldn’t help but smile and ask, “Why? Does Brother Wu Bi have a May 1 holiday too?”

When she went to Wu Bi’s Earl Villa before, Jian Ai already had some guesses about the mysterious identity of the big brother who suddenly intruded into her world.

However, one couldn’t just look at the surface when looking at things, so Jian Ai hadn’t concluded.

Wu Bi heard the teasing in Jian Ai’s tone and immediately chuckled. “Of course. As long as I want to rest, I can do so anytime.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Bi seemed to have heard the commotion on Jian Ai’s side. He couldn’t help but ask, “Why? Are you outside?”

“Yes,” Jian Ai apologized. “I went out to play during the holidays. I’m not in Baiyun City.”

“Alright.” Wu Bi paused for a moment before continuing, “If you’re back early, call me. Brother will treat you to a meal.”

“Okay,” Jian Ai agreed.

After hanging up, Jian Ai couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

She had only known Brother Wu Bi for half a month, but she could feel how good he was to her. It was not the kind between friends or lovers but between siblings.

The reason why Jian Ai was so sure that Wu Bi was good to her, was because he treated her like a sister. It was a feeling she was too familiar with since she had a biological brother who doted on her as much as his life.

Hence, Jian Ai did not show any resistance or discomfort.

On the other side, after Wu Bi hung up the phone, he exhaled softly and smiled as he shook his head with a doting expression.

Ever since the first time they met and after the girl took care of his injured body, Wu Bi had treated her like his deceased sister, Wu Shuang.

As Jian Ai thought, Wu Bi was indeed treating her as his sister now. To Wu Bi, although Jian Ai was not Wu Shuang’s replacement, it made up for the position that he had been missing in his heart for many years.

It was also because of this that Wu Bi had pulled out a part of himself that was stuck in the mire of the past.

However, no one knew if the sibling relationship that they both understood in their hearts now would change one day.

…

Bai Zhou brought Yao Jiachi on a speedboat ride, a sampan ride, and to try out paragliding. Yao Jiachi was drenched in sweat from playing.

Exhausted, they went to a high-class sea restaurant in Macau Bay for lunch.

“Was it fun?” Jian Ai asked as she looked at Jiachi, whose face was red from the sun.

Yao Jiachi was still excited. Hearing this, he couldn’t help but nod with sparkling eyes. “It’s fun, Sister. You should have gone to play just now.”

“If you still want to come in the future, I will bring you here,” Jian Ai said with a smile.

Yao Jiachi was delighted when he heard that. He asked agitatedly, “Together with Brother Bai Zhou?”
