Young Brother-in-law Is Now My Husband

"We will see if you can let us ignore it, Lu Feng," Jiang Yang commented, and just then, Lu Feng's cell phone rang.

An Tian added, "Here he goes again. I think someone out there doesn't want us to ignore anything."

Ignoring them, Lu Feng stood up from the chair, "Excuse me," and went away from there to receive the call.

"One should learn from him how to hide things," An Tian said, and others looked at Lu Feng.

There was no change in his expressions when he talked and looked professional as if he discussed the business matters.

"Lu Lijun, I hope you won't hide anything from us," Jiang Yang said, smiling teasingly.

Not knowing what to say, Lu Lijun picked up the water bottle and acted as if he didn't hear anything.

Jiang Yang sighed, "See the level of ignorance by these Lu brothers. They know how to act ignorantly on our faces."

Still, there was no reaction from Lu Lijun, so Noah informed, "There is nothing he can hide as he never dated a single girl," said Noah.

"Really?" Jiang Yang asked, and An Tian stared at Lu Lijun, who kept silent.

"Not just him, but Jake is the same," Noah added, and Jake frowned, "None of your business."

"Well, good for me as I keep dating..cough... I mean coaxing those disheartened girls. I can't see pretty girls crying, you know," said Noah.

"Yeah, we understood," said Jiang Yang as he and others laughed.

An Tian, who observed his younger brother Jake, smiled at his behavior and mumbled, "Idiot, can't understand what he wants for himself."

Jiang Yang heard it and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?"

"Your sense of seeing through the people had been rusted. Clean it, and you will see it. These three are complicated."

"Noah is cool," Jiang Yang countered.

"He is the most complicated person. Don't go on what he shows us," An Tian advised, and both resumed their conversation with others.

When Lu Feng finished the call, Lu Lian went to him.

"Brother, shouldn't we ask Lu Lijun to come back home?"

"No use, because he won't…."

"There must be the way," she insisted.

"He won't unless there is something that will force him to take that decision on his own," Lu Feng explained as both looked Lu Lijun, who paid attention to what others talked.

They spent the entire day together as the next day, Lu Feng, Jiang Yang, and An Tian had to go back to China.

In the night, Lu Lian and Lu Feng went to Lu Lijun's home while Jiang Yang went with An Tian.

---------

The next morning after breakfast, Lu Lian went to Lu Lijun's room as she asked Lu Feng to join her, too.

"I really like this gallery and this view from here," Lu Lian said as she stood at the gallery's railing. "How about I shift here and stay with you, Lu Lijun?"

"Hmm, you can," Lu Lijun agreed.

She looked at the wooden stand in the gallery and asked, "You still like to draw."

"Hmm!"

"What did you draw recently? Show me."

Lu Lijun cleared his throat, feeling a bit awkward, "I was busy these days."

"Hmm!" Lu Lian looked puzzled, and Lu Feng shook his head as if telling her there is no use and the next moment happened the same.

"Sister Lian, you can say what you are here for," Lu Lijun said as he guessed the way his sister was trying to talk about some random things.

She sighed deeply, "Gosh..You are younger than me, but why is it so difficult to talk to you directly?"

"Say it," Lu Lijun instructed, and Lu Feng didn't bother listening to it as he knew the result.

"Let's go back home," she said.

"I don't want to," came the same reply.

"That I know, but I will go home only if you go, or I will always stay in the USA," Lu Lian declared.

"It's your life, elder sister, and…..."

"Do you want me not to go home and stay single forever? You know I don't even have a boyfriend to be with, and if I pass the age, father won't be able to find a man for me."

It was straightaway blackmailing, and both brothers had nothing to say but laugh inside that they tried to hide.

"I will prefer to keep my sister with me forever instead of sending her away with a stranger. So it would be better if elder sister shifted here with me."

Lu Lian didn't expect this reply from her brother and mumbled, "Right, and one day when you will get married, your wife will kick me out of the home."

"I won't be marrying either, so don't worry," Lu Lijun countered.

"Why? Don't tell me you are... cough... really?" she stared at Lu Lijun to get the answer.

"I am not, but I am just not interested," said Lu Lijun.

"Are you sure you don't want to be back?" she asked again.

"Hmm!"

Lu Lian had nothing to say. Just as they entered the room from the gallery, Lu Lian noticed the winter coat hanging in the wardrobe, which was visible through its glass door.

"Do you still have it?" She then looked at tall Lu Lijun from head to toe, "I doubt that winter coat fits you now. You should….."

"It looks better there," Lu Lijun interrupted.

She shrugged, "As you wish."

Lu Lian had the flight to the USA around the same time as Lu Feng, so they left together in the evening, and Lu Lijun went to see them off.

An Tian and Jiang Yang came to the airport with Jake, and Noah arrived there too.

"What are you doing here?" Jake asked.

"For what you are here," Noah countered as he greeted others. "I will be in China soon. I look forward to meeting you all."

"Anytime and If you need anything, I am there," An Tian said.

"Of course, as I will be staying with you, brother Tian," said Noah.

It was the time for the flight, and they left. The moment three friends came out of the airport, Jake spoke, "We need to talk."

"Not here, first, let's go back home," Lu Lijun suggested.

Soon they arrived at Lu Lijun's home. Jerome and Martha greeted them, and these three went upstairs in Lu Lijun's room.

"Are you going to China?" Jake asked.

"Yes," Noah replied.

"When did you plan it?" Lu Lijun asked as both the friends were surprised by this.

"I planned it long back, and after meeting everyone, I am sure I want to go there."

"Only to travel, right?" Jake asked.

"No. I wish to settle there," Noah informed.

"Didn't you say we three would be together always?" Jake asked.

"I said long back, but things have changed now," said Noah.

This reply angered Jake and Lu Lijun as they thought how can he change the plan and even without informing them.

"How can you?" Jake exclaimed, and Lu Lijun too was with Jake.

"I am sorry, but I have decided already? Even my parents shifted to China. That's my country, my family and person's heart lies where their family is."

With this reply from Noah, everything turned silent, and just then, there was a knock on the door. Martha entered the room, carrying a tray with three glasses of Juice.

Keeping them on the table, she instructed, "Let me know if you need something else," and left.

Quietly, everyone picked up the glass and continued drinking the Juice as the atmosphere turned normal.

"Why do I think Martha always senses the seriousness and comes here at the right moment with something to eat or drink that calms us down?" said Noah as he looked at the glass in his hands.

Lu Lijun agreed, "Hmm, she has invisible sensors on her."

"Do you like my brother?" Suddenly, Jake asked calmly while Lu Lijun stared at his friends.

"Yes. Why? Are you jealous I like him more than you?" Noah laughed.

"Stay away from him," Jake warned.

"I won't. He is a prince, and I plan to be his princess," Noah laughed as he failed to see how serious Jake was and added, "If you were even one percent as cool as your brother, I would be your princess, Jake," and laughed again.

"Fuck off," came the angry reply from the angry young man.

"It's so easy to piss you off, Jake," Noah kept laughing while his two friends kept silent.

"When are you going?" Lu Lijun asked.

"Once I finish my side course of corporate law," Noah informed.

The two friends had no other option but to agree to their friend's wish.

"As I won't be with you two for long, how about we go out?" Noah suggested, and the other two agreed.

------

They reached one of the pubs in the city, where Noah led their way inside. They stopped in the pub where the entire corner was booked, and the young boys and girls of their ages were celebrating something.

Noah went to them, and cheerfully everyone welcomed him while the other two stood at a distance.

"Wait, aren't those our highschool friends?" Jake asked.

"Not mine," said Lijun.

"Neither mine but...wait..when did Noah say we have high school reunion?" Jake asked.

"He said soon," Lu Lijun replied as he added, "And that soon was just the next day."

"He has a death wish for sure," Jake greeted his teeth.

"We can make his wish come true," Lijun had the same expressions as Jake.
