What if My Brother is Too Good?

After dinner, Grandpa Huo called Huo Yusen and Huo Yuan to the study for a talk. The rest of the family members went on to do their own activities.

There were actually quite a few activities going on in the Huo family’s Old Mansion. Huo Wu was not interested in the card games, so when she saw the helpers putting up the “fu” character on the walls, she volunteered to help them.

The new “fu” characters that were being put on the walls of the mansion was a tradition that the Huo Mansion maintained for decades.

An upside-down “fu“ character had a beautiful meaning behind it: happiness had arrived.

Huo Wu thought that since she was not doing anything anyways that she would assist the helpers to get a “fu” character on the wall.

At the same time, Chu Xueyi didn’t seem to have interest in any of the activities either. As a result, she walked next to Huo Wu and asked, “Are you helping them?”

Huo Wu acknowledged with a sound.

Chu Xueyi then responded enthusiastically, “Then I can help give you directions.”

Technically speaking, you do need two people to put up the character. When one of the people is putting the character up, they often can’t see where they are putting it. So, it would need another person’s help and directions.

As a result, Huo Wu had no objections to her suggestion.

Huo Wu ‘s height was a bit short for the white wall in front of her, so she found a short stool and stood on it.

She estimated a good angle to put the character, and asked Chu Xueyi, “Is this fine?”

Chu Xueyi looked left and right and suggested, “The right side is too high. Lower it a bit.”

Huo Wu adjusted the angle and asked again, “How about now? Is it good now?”

“It’s still tilted,” Chu Xueyi said. She walked around and then pointed at a place. “How about you just move it more to the left? Otherwise, the whole wall wouldn’t look symmetric.”

“Ok.”

Huo Wu listened to Chu Xueyi’s advice and moved her body towards the left.

However, it could be because the short stool was too light, after Huo Wu shifted her body to the left, the stool was off-balanced and fell to the side along with Huo Wu.

The feeling of being in the air made Huo Wu thought of the time when her wire malfunctioned in her past life.

That moment was just like how she felt right now: helpless and weak. It felt as if she was in the air and there was nothing she could hold on to. As a result, she could only let the gravity pull her heavily towards the floor.

This feeling of helplessness and despair once again came into Huo Wu’s mind.

She shut her eyes tightly, and cried subconsciously, “Big Brother!”

Squeak!

The stool created a piercing sound as its leg slid across the floor.

And the next moment, Huo Wu was falling uncontrollably towards the floor.

Chu Xueyi screamed keenly, “Ah Wu!”

Huo Wu’s mind turned completely blank.

She waited for the moment when she was going to fall onto the floor, but to her surprise, the expected pain did not arrive at all.

Instead, she fell into a warm and safe hug.

The hug carried a clean smell that she couldn’t be more familiar with.

After a few seconds, Huo Wu slowly opened her tearful eyes. She looked through the tears and saw the face that she was hoping to see.

Huo Wu blinked her eyes and with a shaky voice, said, “Big brother?”

Huo Yusen answered with a sound. “It’s me.”

Huo Wu asked again as if she couldn’t believe what just happened, “Big brother?”

“Hmph.” Huo Yusen held on to her and comforted her gently, “It’s ok.”

Hearing Huo Yusen’s voice, she held on to him tightly as if she had just escaped death.

The hug was very tight.

Her nails sharply dug into his arms, and she used so much strength that the back of her hands turned slightly pale.
