Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

"Wake up, man; just walk towards the car."

Lu Feng held Lu Qiang and patted his cheeks to wake him up, but there was no use. Lu Qiang was drunk, not even able to open his eyes and understand what Lu Feng said.

The drunk man smiled sweetly. "Carry me in your arms, brother."

Lu Qiang closed his eyes and hugged Lu Feng, putting his body weight on him.

They sat there for a long while, talking about the things from their childhood, and didn't realize it was almost evening.

Trying to handle the heavy man, Lu Feng sighed, "I should have only bought one bottle."

Lu Feng held Lu Qiang, making sure not to let him fall. Picking up Lu Qiang's jacket from the rock beside him, he put it back on him. He somehow managed to make Lu Qiang stand, putting his one arm on his shoulder then circling one hand around the waist.

Holding him, Lu Feng walked towards the car. It took him a lot of time to bring Lu Qiang back to the car by walking across a vast grass field.

Since it was summer, Lu Feng sweated a lot and felt like he was out of energy. Lu Feng let Lu Qiang sit in the front passenger seat, fastened his seatbelt, and pulled out the car key from Lu Qiang's jacket.

Just as he was about to start the car, Lu Qiang started to mumble, "Yuyan! I am sorry, Yuyan!"

Lu Feng looked at him but didn't try to wake him up. Drinking water to get rid of tiredness, Lu Feng drove away to go back home.

Lu Qiang kept mumbling Jiang Yuyan's name during the entire journey while apologizing to her about something. Lu Feng continued to focus on driving and didn't try to listen to what Lu Qiang said.

Lu Feng drove towards the city but decided not to take Lu Qiang to the Lu mansion because he didn't want anyone to see them together or to see Lu Qiang in drunk condition. He took Lu Qiang to his place, which was unknown to others.

Lu Feng had an apartment somewhere on the outskirts of the city because he didn't want anyone to know about it. It was a massive tower with luxurious flats. Lu Feng pulled Lu Qiang out of the car in a parking lot and walked towards the elevator by supporting Lu Qiang to walk.

Lu Qiang was still murmuring Jiang Yuyan's name and something else. Still, Lu Feng couldn't hear it properly because he just concentrated on walking Lu Qiang's heavy body towards the elevator.

Before they could reach the elevator, Lu Feng halted and made Lu Qiang's hairs look messy. lowered them down towards his eyes and lowered Lu Qiang's head down a little to hide his face.

Lu Qiang was a known person in an elite group of people, though he never exposed himself much. That particular residential tower had many rich people living there, so Lu Feng didn't want anyone to recognize him, especially not in a drunk condition.

They got into the elevator with a few more people. Lu Feng tried to hide Lu Qiang's face by standing in the corner with him and making him look in other directions from those people. Lu Qiang was still busy murmuring Yuyan's name that attracted other's attention even more.

When they reached the desired floor, Lu Feng dragged Lu Qiang inside the flat with so much effort that Lu Feng was almost at his limit to handle the heavy guy.

Carrying him towards the bedroom, both fell on the bed, as Lu Feng lost his balance and was too tired to handle himself. He lay down beside Lu Qiang for a few moments to catch a breath.

Feeling relieved, when Lu Feng was about to get up from the bed, he heard what Lu Qiang murmured to himself again as this time it was audible. It might be because Lu Qiang was lying in a bed, but his voice sounded more painful than it was before coming back to Lu Feng's apartment.

"Yuyan, I…I am sorry!... I was not with you when you were in pain…I am sorry!... I should have come to you, but I didn't!... I am sorry!... I even don't know what happened to you...I am sorry!

Lu Feng looked at Lu Qiang, his expressions painful, and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes. He continuously apologized to Jiang Yuyan for so many reasons.

Lu Feng didn't remember Lu Qiang crying over anything, not even in their childhood days, as long as he could remember the past.

Lu Qiang was a strong-minded person. He never cried, not even in the worst situation of his life; instead, he preferred to face everything without wasting time on crying. He had been like this since he was a child.

Lu Feng knew him better than anyone else, even though they were apart from each other for years. Watching Lu Qiang like this was painful for him too.

Lu Feng could understand why Lu Qiang was like this and why he suddenly chose to drink when he always hated to get drunk. He could understand what was bothering him.

Lu Feng got out of the bed. Removing Lu Qiang's shoes and his jacket, he tucked him properly to bed. Still, Lu Qiang was murmuring the things about Yuyan. Lu Feng left him alone because he knew Lu Qiang wanted him to be, and that's why he drank and left himself to Lu Feng.

Lu Feng went to the bathroom for a shower. When he returned, he saw Lu Qiang was sleeping soundly, and the murmuring had stopped. He went to bed, looked at him, and said, Idiot!"

Just then Lu Qiang's cellphone rang which was in his jacket. Lu Feng pulled it out and saw the known name flashing on the screen.

He received the call, "Speak!"

Jiang Residence...

In the evening, Jiang Yang returned home. The entire apartment was quiet like nobody was home. He went to Jiang Yuyan's room to check on her. When he entered her  room, he saw the door of the art room was open.

He went to the art room, only to see his sister lying on the couch in the room. She didn't bother to take off her apron, which was covered in so many colors. Jiang Yuyan's hands and face were covered in the paint as well. It looked like she, by mistake, touched her hands to her face and ended up with those paint marks.

Jiang Yang stepped towards the painting she just made. It was not complete, but he could clearly understand what she was drawing on the canvas. He realized it was not the painting she made last time. It was something very different. Jiang Yang touched the painting's corner, and said, "Thank you, Lu Qiang."

Just as Jiang Yang was about to move back towards his sister, his sight fell on the rolled canvas in the dustbin. He went near the dustbin and took it out. As expected, it was the painting she was making last time. He rolled it and put it back in the dustbin.

Jiang Yang then went to her, who was in a deep sleep. He loosened her apron to remove it. Putting it aside, Jiang Yang carried her towards her bedroom in his arms.

He put her in bed and covered her in a quilt up to her stomach. He went to the bathroom, brought out a water pot and napkin. He cleaned the colors from Jiang Yuyan's face with the wet napkin, and then he cleaned her hands. He put back the water pot and napkin in the bathroom, then came back to her.

Jiang Yang leaned down to kiss her on the forehead and said with a smile, "Still a kid. I hope this kid and her playmate will always be happy together and forever!"

Jiang Yang switched off the lights in the room, closed the door, and then went to his own room. He was worried if she had eaten anything or not, but didn't wish to wake up from the sleep.

As Jiang Yang reached his room, he dialed Lu Qiang's number. When the call got received, he heard Lu Feng's voice and exclaimed, "Lu Feng?"

Lu Feng replied, "Yes!"

Jiang Yang was surprised to hear Lu Feng's voice coming from the other end of the line instead of Lu Qiang. He checked his cell phone's screen to see if he had dialed Lu Feng's number by mistake, but it was the right number, to his surprise.
