Chapter 386: 386 Ye Gaosheng’s embarrassment Chapter 386: 386 Ye Gaosheng’s embarrassment This man couldn’t even lie properly, if he had said that his big brother and second brother were out looking for him, Ye Gaosheng might have believed it a bit!

But Ye Wenzheng looked down at his current state.

In his present condition, going back would only be a burden to his family, it was better to just stay outside, to live and die on his own!

Throwing the crutch in his hand aside, Ye Gaosheng slumped to the ground, feeling utterly hopeless as he leaned weakly against the table leg.

He could only blame his current miserable state on his own foolishness, his tendency to trust people too easily had led him to this situation, not only did he harm himself, but he also betrayed his family.

He could already imagine the scenes of being blamed by his family members when he got back, so Ye Gaosheng fled, he didn’t dare to go home, he could only stay here, despondently waiting for death.

“Fourth brother…” Ye Jiu came in, and at first glance, she saw the ragged youth slumped next to the old table.

Ye Jiu and Ye Gaosheng had both changed a lot, but Ye Jiu had changed for the better, while Ye Gaosheng…

Originally a tall and strong youth, he had now become a bag of bones, his clothes turned into ragged cloth, black and greasy with oil.

His once neatly combed hair was now tied in knots, caked with mud, in a chaotic mess, his face so gaunt that his jawbone protruded, his eye sockets dark and sunken, his whole being exuding a gloomy and wasted aura, more like a vagrant waiting for death.

Had it not been for Ye Jiu’s familiarity with Ye Gaosheng, she would have hardly recognized him.

This…

Was this the same upbeat, straightforward fourth brother she used to know?

Ye Jiu rarely cried, as she felt crying was the most useless act and a display of her own incompetence.

But at this moment, her tears still fell uncontrollably.

Immediately, Ye Jiu raised her hand to dry them, her eyes becoming even more determined.

But Ye Gaosheng, as if he had heard an illusion, seemed to hear a very familiar voice, and panic began to stir in his heart.

“You… you’ve got the wrong person, I’m just a vagrant without relatives, and I don’t have a sister,” Ye Gaosheng said as he scrambled with his tangled hair, then moved it all to the front, covering his face completely as if by doing so, he could hide himself.

Ye Jiu walked over and, without any disdain, helped Ye Wenzheng push his hair back. Ye Gaosheng then covered his cheeks with his hands, his gaze darting away, afraid to look at Ye Jiu.

Ye Jiu felt a pang in her heart.

“Fourth brother, you can’t even lie properly. I’m currently dressed as a man,” Ye Jiu boldly unmasked him without hesitation.

Ye Gaosheng’s hands, covering his cheeks, slowly slid down to reveal his eyes and then he saw that his little sister indeed was dressed in men’s clothing. He had clearly seen it through the broken window just a moment ago, but when it came to speaking, his words slipped out without proper guard.

Looking at his little sister again, she truly had changed, only her voice remained the same, everything else was just more beautiful, her face cleaner.

But what face did he have now to face his family?

Ye Gaosheng’s voice was laced with a sob as he suddenly pushed Ye Jiu away and stood up, walking to the side, “I already said I’m not your fourth brother, why are you recognizing people randomly? Just look at you, dressed so finely, you’re clearly the son of a wealthy family, while I’m nothing but a beggar, how could I possibly be your fourth brother!”

It was then that Ye Jiu noticed Ye Gaosheng was limping as he moved.

Her eyes instantly dimmed, but Ye Jiu didn’t mention Ye Gaosheng’s leg out of consideration.
