Chapter-4: Clearing Past Misunderstandings

:: In Song's Mansion...✧˖°࿐

Song Xiao Bo felt his head heavy, he tried to open his eyes but couldn't. He clutched onto the sheets tightly as he tried to wake up.

"...-Xiao Bo... Bo Bo."

Xiao Bo heard the familiar voice calling him anxiously.

He opened his heavy lids and saw Song Wei Chen sitting in front of him, holding his hand, with a concerned expression on his face.

"Wei Dage..."

"Yes, Bo Bo," Wei Chen hugged him tightly.

"Do you know how worried I was when you fell into the lake? And you didn't wake up for a whole day."

Wei Chen's voice was shaky, he was stopping himself from crying.

"Wei Dage, I-I....*hic* am s-sorry."

Xiao Bo apologized hugging his elder brother back.

In his past life, he didn't know that his elder brother loved him so much.

He thought Wei Chen hated him but after seeing how he searched for him and died, he confirmed that his elder brother only acted as he hated him to protect him from his father.

Whenever his father hit him, he would interfere and tell him that he would beat Xiao Bo in his stead, and after his father left, he would put cream on his wounds and take care of him.

Though he never talked with him nicely, he also never treated him poorly. He would protect him from his father and others whenever necessary.

But he didn't like it when Xiao Bo showed his affection for him in public.

Song Wei Chen would panic and scold Xiao Bo for acting all loving towards him and always told him to stay away from him.

He didn't want anyone to know that he cared for Xiao Bo. But secretly he would put bodyguards and protect him in his way.

He was like a Tsundere who would act all cold and heartless on the outside but would be soft and kind on the inside.

Xiao Bo never understood why his brother acted like that but something is better than nothing.

In his past life, he only loved two people, one is his Wei Dage who cared for him in secret and the other is his one-sided love, Wang Mu Chen.

And in this life, he wanted to be happy with his Wei Dage while Wang Mu Chen...

Xiao Bo doesn't want to do anything with him cause the other would never love him as he has already given his heart to the MC- Feng Xin Yi.

"Idiot, why are you saying sorry?" Wei Chen scolded.

"Wei Dage... what's the date today?"

Xiao Bo asked to confirm that he was indeed back in time as the Goddess said.

"It's the 3rd of March," Wei Chen replied.

"Year?" Xiao Bo asked again.

Wei Chen frowned but answered nonetheless.

"2013."

Song Xiao Bo sighed in relief.

"I love you, Wei Dage!"

He hugged the elder tightly again while smiling like a fool.

Song Wei Chen was taken by surprise by the younger's sudden confession and affection.

"A-Alright...idiot."

He was flustered, his cheeks were tinted pink and he hugged his younger brother back with a little hesitation.

"Wei Dage..." Xiao Bo called.

"Hm?"

"Shall we run away?"

"What?"

...

"Xiao Bo, I have pulled some strings and admitted you into S University, if only you had some brain in that head of yours rather than mud, I didn't have to work this hard and beg people to let you join the university."

Song Yi Ming glared at his youngest son.

Xiao Bo looked down, his body was trembling in fear. He had already experienced this scene in his last life but still, he couldn't control his fear for his father.

He was scared of his father so much that just by seeing him, his body would quiver in fear.

Song Wei Chen noticed how frightened his younger brother was but he couldn't do anything.

"S University? Why father?" Wei Chen asked to distract his father from glaring at the younger.

"Because the Wang family's eldest son Wang Mu Chen is studying there. If this bitch can go grab his attention and make him his lover and get married to him, then the Song family's power will exceed that of the Li Family and there would be no one more powerful in the whole country than us,"

Song Yi Ming replied, a wicked and greedy smile was spread across his face.

Xiao Bo had to bite his lower lips to control his tears. No matter whether then or now he couldn't understand why his father hated him so much.

Was there any reason for it or was it just that he was destined to be hated by everyone since he was the Villain of the novel?

Song Wei Chen tightened his fist as he heard his father.

If it was in his power he would lock up Xiao Bo and protect him from the dirty world cause his younger brother was way too pretty for a boy.

Maybe because he didn't have enough nutrition while growing up due to his Father's abuse, his body was on the thinner and shorter side.

If he was brought up in a normal family maybe he would have grown strapping like any other boy of his age.

To add to that his looks were out of the world, wherever he went, male or female, young or old...everyone would be hypnotized by him.

That's the charm of Xiao Bo, but he didn't know that. Due to his Father's strict supervision of his diet, he was so thin and bones.

Only if he ate well and puffed up a little bit, his cuteness would be overloaded to the point that everyone would faint at his sight.

"Is it necessary, Father?"

Wei Chen asked, trying to suppress his anger.

"What do you mean is it necessary, son? It is, we have to seize this chance and trap Wang Mu Chen so that our family's power would reach the peak and no one would ever dare to cross us,"

Song Yi Ming said showing his absolute desire for power.

"Yes, then we should let Xiao Bo stay in the dorms, Father," Wei Chen proposed the idea.

"In the dorms, why?" Yi Ming was confused.

"Cause Wang Mu Chen stays in the dorms and it will be easy to get closer to him in that way," Wei Chen suggested.

"Yeah, you are right," Yi Ming agreed.

Xiao Bo didn't agree to go and live in the dorms in his past life cause he thought his Dage wanted to get rid of him so he made a huge scene and was punished by his Father brutally.

But Wei Chen didn't propose the idea to get rid of his younger brother.

He wanted Xiao Bo to stay in the dorms, make friends, and live a happy university life far from their Father who would abuse him whenever his mood got soiled.

"What do you say, Xiao Bo?"

Yi Ming asked him with a challenging look that if he refused to go he would beat the shit outta of him then and there.

Xiao Bo gulped his saliva and looked at his elder brother who was urging him to agree through his eye signs, he remembered what the Goddess said,

<<<"You don't have to do anything big just small changes like getting a good friend or a brother is enough.">>>

<<<"Remember just a little change can lead you to a different destiny and I assure you this time you won't live and die in pain, my child.">>>

>>>A little change...

Song Xiao Bo was determined now to change his destiny, he would listen to his elder brother now so that they both could live a happy life.

"I-I...will live in dorms as Dage said."

Xiao Bo dared to look at his father.

Song Yi Ming's face turned into a displeased one but then he started laughing,

"Good, you made the right choice. Live in the dorms and make Wang Mu Chen fall head over heels for you, understood?"

"Y-Yes, Father."

Xiao Bo breathed a sigh of relief.

"I think drowning in the pool made your head clear. You are behaving like a good boy. Good, very good," Song Yi Ming smirked.

...

"Wei Dage... why do you want me to live in dorms? You don't want me to live with you?"

Xiao Bo asked his elder brother to confirm his thoughts.

Wei Chen patted his head.

"No, idiot. If you live in dorms...it will be better for you. And Father won't be able to abuse you."

"Wei Dage..."

Xiao Bo was in tears, he hugged him instantly.

Cause it was this easy to get to know his brother's intentions.

Only if he had made some efforts in his past life and didn't think that his elder brother was so hard to approach, maybe he wouldn't have to die that way.

In his past life when Wei Chen suggested that Xiao Bo have to live in dorms and after rejecting it and getting punished by his father, he was so angry at his elder brother that he didn't talk with him.

Wei Chen was also angry that Xiao Bo didn't understand his goodwill and even accused him that he hated him.

This led to the distance between brothers and they fell apart eventually as the time went by as they didn't talk much with each other after that.

"Why, what happened?"

Song Wei Chen was perplexed seeing his younger brother cry.

"You will come to visit me, right? You will not forget about me, right?"

Xiao Bo broke the hug and asked showing his puppy eyes.

Wei Chen smiled and wiped the tears from his brother's face,

"You really are an idiot, Xiao Xiao. Why would I forget about you? And yes, of course, I will come to visit you often. How about this, I will come to visit you every Sunday and we can go out and enjoy that day."

"Really?"

Xiao Bo was excited, he never went out with his elder brother. To think he would get to spend alone time with his Dage, he couldn't ask for more.

He nodded and ruffled his younger brother's hair as he couldn't resist his cuteness.

>>>In that way, I can feed him well and make him puffy. He seriously needs some meat in his system, he is all bones and I fear hugging him back thinking that he would break if I hold him a little tighter.

"Yayy!!!"

Xiao Bo chirped in happiness.
