Chapter 48 - Mrs. Haruhi's House
Before Masaru left, the man threatened us.
"Our business isn't done yet! I will eliminate you both!" said Masaru while pointing at us.
Sifeng didn't say anything after the fight just now. Sifeng instead went back to sleep, as if he didn't want to discuss anything the thugs said earlier.
I wonder why Sifeng doesn't ask me anymore? Did Sifeng find out that I was the one who tried to drown Sifeng that time?
Ah really, I'm sorry, Brother! At that time all I knew, Sifeng was just the one who took my place and had also taken my sister, Xiuxiu Jie.
Really, I didn't expect Sifeng to be my real brother, even though our mothers were different.
For the past 2 years, I've been enveloped in guilt. I'm sorry that I ever hurt my own family. I really still feel guilty.
"Yu Gege?" call Sifeng to me. But, Sifeng's eyes were still closed.
"Hmm?" I answered.
"Do you still want to kill me, Yu Gege?" said Sifeng back, without looking at me.
I was taken aback by the painful question. I didn't expect Sifeng to still think like that. Has Sifeng been affected by Masaru's words earlier? Unlucky! I hope, I won't meet Masaru again after this.
(ZHANG YUSHEN POV_END)

This feeling of regret, enveloped Zhang Yushen's heart for 2 years. Yushen knew that if he had done good to Sifeng all this time, he would not be able to repair the damage that Yushen had done. In fact, Sifeng still has trauma to water, because Sifeng had drowned. And it was also because of Yushen's actions. However, Sifeng didn't know about it yet.
But, all this time Zhang Yushen had been trying. Yes, trying to be better. As a child and as a brother.
Is there no chance for Yushen to change? Will Yushen forever be known as the destroyer of the Zhang family? Yushen thought of all that. In fact, Yushen had tried to become a better person.
However, Sifeng's question earlier, really hurt Yushen. Sifeng asks if Yushen still wants to kill Sifeng? How could that man still doubt his brother's sincerity? Yushen's mind, hurt.
"Answer me, Yu Gege! Do you still want to kill me, huh?!" Now even Sifeng's voice sounded snappy.
So far, Yushen had never been yelled at like this. However, because Masaru had provoked Sifeng earlier, so Sifeng began to be influenced by the red-haired thug earlier.
Zhang Yushen didn't answer right away. He instead averted his face, avoiding Sifeng's judgmental gaze.
"Be honest with me, Zhang Yushen!! Do you still want to kill me?!" Sifeng snapped, coming back.
Being yelled at like that constantly, made Yushen irritated at Sifeng. Yushen returned Sifeng's gaze, much sharper.
"If I really want to kill you, so what, huh?" Yushen snapped, at Sifeng. He's too upset. So, it's possible that he said that not wholeheartedly. Yushen said that out of emotion.
Sifeng who previously closed his eyes, now opened his eyes immediately after hearing the cruel words from Yushen's mouth earlier.
Sifeng drew closer to Yushen. The gaze that Sifeng was currently displaying was truly one full of anger. In fact, this was scarier than Master Zhang's deadly gaze.
Being stared at like that, made Yushen a little scared. Yushen looked away, unable to see Sifeng's current vengeful gaze.
Unexpectedly Yushen, at this time Sifeng actually strangled Yushen's neck. Yushen was silent. Yushen said to himself.
'Do you really want to avenge what I did, My Brother?'
Yushen held both of Sifeng's hands around his neck.
"You really want revenge on me, little brother? Do you want to kill me back," Yushen said, his expression very sad. Yushen looked sadly at Sifeng.
Sifeng didn't want to answer yet. Sifeng was still holding Yushen's neck at this time.
However, it was not the pain that Yushen felt. But the amusement that Yushen currently feels. In fact, Yushen even laughed because his neck was tickled.
Sifeng brought his face closer to Yushen's, closing the distance between them.
Oh Lord! Sifeng kissed his brother's forehead instead? Suddenly, Yushen kicked Sifeng in the stomach, sending Sifeng's body flying. Sifeng's body fell onto the chair behind him.
Can you imagine the reactions of the other passengers? Of course they looked at Sifeng and Yushen with disdain. Good grief! It felt like Yushen really wanted to kill Sifeng right now, because Yushen couldn't help being embarrassed. All eyes were on Yushen and Sifeng.
Even though he was holding his aching stomach, from Yushen's kick. But, Sifeng was still laughing in satisfaction at this time. Sifeng felt that he had managed to scare Yushen away.
"Hahaha ... you think I'm like you, Yu Ge? The only revenge on your agenda, huh? Oh come on! I'm Zhang Sifeng, a man the Zhang family raised well. So, I can't possibly have a vengeance like you. That's it, Zhang Yushen," said Sifeng, proudly.
Sifeng laughed innocently. Now, Sifeng instead sat next to Yushen and rested his head on Yushen's shoulder.
"Aiisshh, what the hell are you doing, Zhang Sifeng? I really have no face right now, A-Feng!" Yushen grumbled, as he continued to push Sifeng's body away from him.
"What do you care, Lao Yu?! Think again! We are a country of people, and they don't necessarily understand what we're saying, right? So, why should we care about their response, huh?!" said Sifeng, which made Yushen feel a little at ease at the moment.
In the end, Yushen let Sifeng's head rest on his shoulder.
After a while, Yushen started the conversation again.
"I'm sorry, A-Feng! For everything! For my mistakes that have harmed you. I hate Madam Wang for often harming you, but I forgot that I also hurt you more often than Madam Wang," said Yushen. Yushen spoke while occasionally patting Sifeng's arm.
From Yushen's words earlier, Sifeng caught the sincerity there. It made Sifeng smile. Sifeng felt that his brother had really changed. Changed from a cruel figure, now to a gentle figure.
"I'm sorry, A-Feng?!" Yushen said the word 'sorry' like chanting a spell.
"Forget what happened in the past, Yu Gege! Thank you, you have taken care of me all this time. No matter what happens, you are still a wingless angel to me," said Sifeng which made Yushen feel like he was floating.
Yushen even laughed at his brother's strange remark.
"Hahaha ... You call me a wingless angel, A-Feng? Did I hear right? Since when did you become this poetic, A-Feng?" Yushen asked.
However, Sifeng did not answer. Sifeng began to settle into a comfortable position leaning on Yushen's broad shoulders. Sifeng began to enter the dreamland.

A few minutes later, Yushen and Sifeng had arrived at Yokohama Station. They only needed to walk about 1 hour to reach Mrs. Haruhi's house, from the train station earlier.
Quite far indeed, but what is their power? They didn't bring much money after teleporting from the Sky Palace.
After walking until they were out of breath, they finally arrived in front of a very large house.
This building stands on a land of approximately 10 hectares. European-style building with a small garden in the side yard. This is the hallmark of houses in Japan. Even though it has a European feel, it doesn't leave its trademark, namely a small garden for drinking tea every afternoon.
Really, Yushen did not understand at this time what kind of family Sifeng's biological mother was.
Mr. Zhang said that Sifeng's biological mother was a Geisha. Madam Wang said that Sifeng's biological mother was a ramen seller.
But, could a Geisha who is also a ramen seller be able to live in a place this big? Yushen thought, confused.
Yushen felt it was absolutely impossible. It was possible that what Mr Zhang and Madam Wang had said about Sifeng's mother was just a lie. Or perhaps, they had indeed been lied to by Sifeng's mother?
A residence of this size is more like the headquarters of a group of Yakuza, Yushen thought again.
Dozens of men in black suits stood guard around the house. Yushen even doubted whether he had remembered the address wrong? However, Yushen was bestowed by God with a good memory. So, it was impossible for Yushen to remember wrongly at this point.
Good grief! Thinking of all that, made Yushen forget Sifeng. Yushen turned his head towards Sifeng, who was still standing behind Yushen's body.
Seeing Sifeng's current expression, reminded Yushen of a child who was very afraid to go to school for the first time.
Yushen could even see Sifeng's body shaking with fear. At this moment, Sifeng looked as if he was carrying a very heavy weight on his shoulders.
Sifeng grabbed Yushen's hand.
"Let's just go home, shall we?! I'm really feeling scared right now, Yu Ge!" Sifeng said. Still begging Yushen to just go back to Beijing for now.
"We've come this far, and you want to go back home? Seriously, A-Feng?! I don't want our trip to go to waste!" Yushen snapped.
