Comfort
Long Ke Yi has been resting at home for almost a week. During the past few days, he spent a lot of time thinking about the best way to move forward in the future. He was still feeling guilty for what had happened to his parents and brother in his previous life, so he didn’t want to take part in company affairs this time around. Anyway, his oldest brother was more suitable for the general manager position than he was.
Although he had managed the Long Family company rather well in his previous life, he did not enjoy doing it. He was tired and didn’t want to take his big brother’s position anymore. In this life, he decided to do things according to his own wishes and no longer rely on his family as a second-generation ancestor.
When Long Ke Yi walked to the dining room, he saw Father Long and his eldest brother sitting and chatting. His mother had said on a whim that she wanted to cook a few new dishes for them to taste.
Long Ke Yi smiled when he walked to the kitchen door and saw mother Long, who was busy, and mother Zhan, who was helping clean up the mess. His mother wanted to play housewife, although she was not really qualified.
“Hey, Xiao Yi, why did you come in? Mom is almost done. Go out and wait,” Yu Lan Xin said when she saw the big smile on her young son’s face.
There was a trace of teasing on Long Ke Yi’s face, and he said with a smile, “Mom, are you sure you won’t burn down the kitchen?”
Mother Long glared at him. “You brat, you dare to make fun of your mother. I’ve learned to do these dishes a long time ago. This time is absolutely delicious.”
“Well, I’ll trust you one more time, mom.”
When mother Long brought all the dishes to the table, the father and sons looked at each other and then looked at mother Long’s expectant face, so they had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks and take a few bites one by one.
“Not bad,” said father Long while picking up a piece of rib.
“Progress,” Long Ke Han smiled and put a shrimp in his mouth.
Long Ke Yi looked at the excited mother Long and couldn’t bear to deflate her self-confidence. He ate a few more bites of the fried kale and smiled. “Mom is the best!”
“Haha, my son’s biggest shortcoming is that he likes to tell the truth,” mother Long laughed.
Such a warm scene made dad Long, mom Long and big brother Long have a deep sense of comfort. Since Long Ke Yi left the hospital, he had almost become a different person. He was no longer willful and domineering. Previously, you could not see him for several days. Now, he accompanied them to dinner and laughed with them every day, no longer quarreled with Long Ke An as soon as the two saw each other, and no longer mentioned Ji Yan Tang.
How long has it been since they had seen such a well-behaved and sensible Long Ke Yi? This was a good fall. If this time he completely cut off his thoughts about Ji Yan Tang, they would be all satisfied. In the meantime, they had also heard about the things Long Ke Yi had said to Ji Yan Tang that day in the hospital.
“Parents, eldest brother, I have thought about it these days. Actually, I’m not too fond of economic management. I want to transfer to jewelry design as a freshman. My age is also suitable,” Long Ke Yi said solemnly to the other three after dinner.
Father Long thought for a moment and said, “Is it Ok? Studying economic management is not bad. After graduation, you could come to the company to help me.”
“I’ve decided, dad. I don’t like economic management. You know Ji Yan Tang was the reason I jumped the grade and chose economic management. Now I’ve decided to stop pestering him, and I want to live according to my own ideas in the future. As for joining dad’s company, let’s just leave it.”
Long Ke Yi continued while looking at his dad with a bitter expression. “You don’t know what I hate the most. It’s enough to have a big brother to help you. Dad, can you let me go?”
Father Long gave him a blank look. This kid was pretending in front of him again. But his son had finally become well-behaved and sensible, so he didn’t want to push him too hard, either. He could do whatever he wanted, even change his major. At least, this way, he didn’t have to meet Ji Yan Tang, and maybe his obsession with Ji Yan Tang would gradually fade away.
“Ok, but this is your own choice. Since you have chosen, learn it well for me. Don’t come up with something else for another purpose again. If you’re fooling around, see how dad will deal with you,” father Long warned him seriously. He hoped he wouldn’t do it just to attract Ji Yan Tang’s attention. He couldn’t afford to toss with his youngest son again.
“It’s good to switch majors. My son is only 19 in his freshman year. I’ll call your uncle later and ask him to arrange for you to change majors. Now that the school will start after one month, there is still time.” Mother Long agreed with his son changing his major to stay away from Ji Yan Tang.
It’s not that they didn’t believe their son, but Long Ke Yi’s infatuation and obsession with Ji Yan Tang had reached a critical point, and now they only hoped their son was serious this time.
Long Ke Yi rubbed his forehead in frustration. He knew that although his parents didn’t dare mention Ji Yan Tang, they didn’t believe he would break up with him! Ji Yan Tang was so unwelcome in his family!
“Xiao Yi likes jewelry design?” Long Ke Han felt his brother was serious this time.
Long Ke Yi nodded, “Well, I want to be a jewelry designer in the future.”
Long Ke Han only wanted his brother to be happy and wanted to protect him from many hardships.
“Then work hard; I believe you.”
“For how long hasn’t Xiao An come back for dinner?” mother Long looked at the well-behaved young son and suddenly remembered the second son who had caused them so many headaches.
Father Long snorted coldly, “Don’t mention that rebellious son. He had an affair with a little male star just a few days ago. Yesterday, old man Zao from the board of directors made fun of me.”
He got a headache thinking about his second son. Although the youngest son went crazy chasing after a man, at least he didn’t make it known to everyone. However, the second son came out openly, and he changed people every three days, not to mention those people were all men. They often appeared in various gossip magazines and newspapers, and saying that he was unhappy, he moved out. He really couldn’t do anything with that son.
Mother Long also had a headache when mentioning him. She really couldn’t understand why both sons liked men, especially her second son. The latest man was called Qin, and he deliberately led his young son astray. Fortunately, the eldest son likes women; otherwise, she would vomit blood.
“Hey, Long Ke An is getting worse and worse. I heard his investment company is doing quite well. His little lovers are basically there for his money, right?” Mother Long now only hoped that her second son would find a nice person to settle down with. She would recognize him even if he were a male daughter-in-law.
Father Long rubbed his swollen temple. “His investment company is currently doing well in the industry. He will probably not enter the Long family after graduating from college. As for those petty lovers, out of sight, out of mind. Ah! I can’t control that rebellious son. Don’t mention him in front of me anymore.”
Mother Long didn’t dare talk about Long Ke An any longer. She was afraid father Long’s blood pressure would go up again. She looked at her youngest son. His previously dark red hair was black again, his ear studs were gone, and his clothes were fresh and elegant. Hearing that Ji Yan Tang had someone he liked, he had gone crazy, rebelled, and dressed like a wealthy dandy. Mother Long patted her chest. Fortunately, after falling, he was back to normal.
“Xiao Yi, you don’t need to keep in contact with your second brother. You are still young, and your second brother’s circle is not suitable for you.” Mother Long cautioned her young son to stay away from her second son, to not learn his evil ways. And the most important thing was that her second son and Ji Yan Tang were still good friends.
Long Ke Yi nodded obediently. “Mom, don’t worry, I won’t be like him.”
Listening to Long Ke Yi’s words, the three of them were relieved.
Long Ke Yi knew what his mom was thinking. Even if she didn’t say it, he and Long Ke An hadn’t communicated well since he was 15. Most of the time, it was his 3-years-older brother who provoked him. If he didn’t know Long Ke An treated Ji Yan Tang like a brother, he would think they were rivals in love.
In his previous life, whenever they had met, it had been as explosive as Mars colliding with Earth. Now, he no longer wanted to associate with Long Ke An, let alone communicate with him in this life. His mother was right. Long Ke An’s circle was not suitable for him, so he would cherish his life and stay away from Long Ke An and his friends in the future.
