Imperfect Desires

625 Bunch Of Kids

In a spacious and luxurious room, five people were settled on the dark purple sofas while the sixth person was pouring his heart out in the song. The silver chandeliers made the ceiling look fascinating along with the dim lights decorating the room.

The five people weren't actually paying much attention to the one singing because they were busy in their card game.

And these six people were none other than Dylan, Cali, Xin Xiaosi, Nora, Ying, and even Han Bohai. It was truly a sight since these people had spent their whole night frolicking and yet they didn't seem tired. In fact, they seemed to be getting more and more excited.

It was around six in the morning when someone's phone rang. They were planning on ignoring it but when Xin Xiaosi noticed that the person calling was his brother, he couldn't ignore any longer.

"Ah-Si! Where the hell are you?!" Xiao Li's voice was loud and it seemed like he was angry but as his younger brother, Ah-Si could easily hear the worry in his brother's voice.

He wanted to shake his head. He was in his mid-twenties and his elder brother treated him like a little kid. Although he enjoyed his attention on normal days, he still felt that it was time for his brother to stop being so apprehensive.

"I'm at the KTV," replied Ah-Si as he stepped aside from others.

Even Xiao Li could hear Dylan's singing from the other side that made him sigh in relief a little.

"Who else is there apart from you and Dylan?"

"My girlfriend, Dylan's girlfriend, and Ying Jie with her partner."

"Ying and her partner? You mean her boyfriend?"

"Uh-huh..."

Xiao Li was silent for a moment before he replied, "Didn't I tell you to call me? If you weren't gonna come home, at least inform me. I just learned from the maid that you didn't come home."

"Bro, my old now. I can take care of myself. Besides, with Ying Jie around, what can possibly happen to me? Don't you always say that Ying Jie is like dad's replica? I can always have faith in her."

Xiao Li exhaled a long and tired breath, "I know you're old and I know with my best friend around, nothing can ever go wrong. But... Since you're my only brother, I can't help getting worried about you."

Ah-Si didn't have to think twice to know what his brother was implying. He didn't know why his brother took their sister's death as a burden. But he did know after that incident, his brother would always get anxious not knowing about his whereabouts. That was another reason why he depended on his elder brother so much.

Xiao Li was amused to hear his brother talking big and rolled his eyes saying, "So, what is your impression of him now? Is he worthy of your Ying Jie?"

"Bro, you already know who it is. Obviously, you also know he has no flaw for us to nitpick about."

Xiao Li raised his brow, "When did I say I know about her boyfriend?"

Ah-Si looked over and saw Han Bohai still trying to snuggle up with Ying and smiled softly as he replied, "If you didn't know who he is, you won't be this calm right now. It took me years to understand dad, do you really think you're that difficult to read?"

Xiao Li nodded his head before saying, "It seems like my brother is really growing up. I can finally be at ease." He took a pause before adding, "And as for my best friend's boyfriend... No matter how brilliant Bohai is, I still don't know how sincere he is to her."

Ah-Si's lips curved up knowing that he had guessed right. How could he be wrong about his brother? "Then you have nothing to worry about. Apparently, Han Bohai is crazy about Ying Jie. He is so good at manipulating Ying Jie's strong resolves that I'm amazed. I have never seen Ying Jie giving in to someone this easily ever in my life."

Xiao Li finally smiled contently as he said, "She needs someone like that." He took a brief pause and added, "Okay. I'm hanging up now. Have fun but not too much."

"If you're talking about drinking then you can relax, Ying Jie didn't let anyone touch alcohol."

"I knew I can trust my sensible best friend with you bunch of kids."

Ah-Si gaped at his words and wanted to retort when his brother hung up directly. Staring wide-eyed at the phone screen, Ah-Si harshly shouted, "Who are you a bunch of kids?!"

"What's wrong with Xiao Si?" asked Cali as she looked at his furious face.

Ying chuckled, "His brother called him a kid again. So, he is throwing a tantrum like a kid now."

"Ying Jie! It's not funny!" Ah-Si unhappily came back to his seat.

Ying pressed her lips trying to hold back laughter but she always found it funny. Ah-Si's ticking point was being called a kid. He had been treated as a kid for so long that his father and his brother often overlooked the fact that he had a daughter of his own now. Because for them, he was still a kid. And his Uncle Zemin and his wife's treatment of him wasn't any different.

Now, even if Ah-Si wanted to prove that he was not a kid, he couldn't do much. That image was hard to shirk off now.

"Don't get cranky over this. It's not the first time he called you a kid."

"I don't care how many times he calls me a kid but he is still treating me like a kid as well. And apparently, he thinks you're here to supervise a bunch of kids here."

Ying's smile widened as she answered, "It's my privilege to be the supervisor!"

Ah-Si gaped at her in disbelief before asking Han Bohai, "What do you see in this fool?"

Ying also turned her eyes towards him inquisitively. Han Bohai's eyes softened as he replied, "Maybe all I see is the fool."

"Huh?"

Ying smacked his head while he laughed out heartily in reply. What he saw in her? If only he could answer that...
