Little Yichen stared at his brother in disbelief, not understanding why he would say that. In his impression, Youyou appeared arrogant outwardly, but he had a warm and gentle heart and would never monopolize Mommy’s love and affection. This was not Youyou…

However, the person standing before him was clearly Youyou.

But why would Youyou say such cruel words?!

Seeing that he was silent, Youyou pressed on coldly, “Didn’t you notice? No matter what, Mommy’s primary focus has always been on me. In her heart, I’ve always been more important than you. You should have noticed it too, right?”

Little Yichen turned ashen.

Indeed. His mother had always treated Youyou as her priority. That was because Youyou had poor health, and he knew how to endear himself to her. As an elder brother, he did his part in shouldering the responsibilities that came with being an elder brother. He took care of Youyou as a duty.

It did not matter even if Mommy valued Youyou more than him. It was alright that Daddy valued Youyou more than him. Because Youyou was his younger brother. His beloved younger brother. In his heart, Youyou was irreplaceable.

Be it his mommy, daddy, Youyou, or Yueyao, they were all his dearest family members. Every one was an unique individual and could not be replaced. Except, Little Yichen could not help feeling disappointed when he heard Youyou’s cutting words!

A smug look appeared on Youyou’s face. “Mommy loves me more. Compared to me, you’re nothing in Mommy’s heart!”

Little Yichen glared at him and clenched his fists tightly. Suddenly, he lowered his head with a disappointed expression.

Youyou sized him up arrogantly and spoke in a casual manner, “I went missing for a year, and Mommy barely ate or drank anything. The moment she heard news of me, she was agreeable to us swapping places so that I could come home. But you? You can only stay on this big and lonely island.”

“It’s not like that…”

“Oh?”

Youyou calmly retorted, “What is it then? Mu Yichen, you don’t have to deny that Mommy values me more than you. That’s because Mommy and I have depended on each other since we were young. What about you? How can you compare to me?” With that, he smirked. “You don’t have to come home. Mommy has me and that’s enough for her!”

Little Yichen smiled bitterly and looked up, a tear running down his cheek. He said gently with tearful eyes, “Youyou, even if Mommy dotes on you the most, it doesn’t matter. I won’t be sad because you’re my younger brother.”

Youyou was stunned.

“You’re my younger brother. I’ll give you anything. I won’t fight with you. Don’t worry, I won’t be sad.”

As Little Yichen spoke, he moved closer to Youyou and tried to embrace him.

The latter, however, shoved his hand away with a look of disgust. “Don’t touch me with your hand!” Youyou

hissed, “I don’t want a brother like you!”

Little Yichen was taken aback. His brother’s words pierced his heart!

“Why?” Little Yichen forced a stiff smile and asked, “Is it because… I’m not good enough? Or… do you dislike me?”

“I do not dislike you, I detest you!” Youyou’s eyes were full of hostility. “If it weren’t for you, Mommy would only belong to me! I hate people who compete with me for Mommy.”

“I didn’t compete!”

Little Yichen frantically explained, “I’ve never thought of competing with you for Mommy! Mommy is all yours, alright?”.
