Online Dating Boyfriend is Actually an AlienCh33.2 - Quarrel

Translation Checker: asgardlucy

After a while, Lu Xingwang asked whether something was wrong. Jian Mei finally sniffed, took the phone, and replied as his tears dripped on the screen. “I quarreled with my parents.” HmjBEd

It also surprised Lu Xingwang.

After all, in His Highness’ impression, Jian Mei was a child with a good temper. If it wasn’t a serious problem then how would he quarrel with his parents?

Furthermore, except for the first time they talked to each other where Jian Mei sent a few gibberish texts, it had never happened since then. Lu Xingwang could guess a little bit of the situation. [Is it because of me?]

Jian Mei didn’t want Lu Xingwang to blame himself. [It’s not all because of you. I didn’t put the phone away.] Q0MKDS

Lu Xingwang had some guesses. [Did your parents find out about me?]

Jian Mei said yes. Fearing that Lu Xingwang would think that he couldn’t keep a secret, he added. “But I didn’t say anything about you. I kept what you didn’t want me to tell a secret.”

The two of them somehow looked like they were hiding something as if they were engaging in an unspeakable relationship.

It was a bit amusing to say that if this was in Stan Star, if any commoner or even the royal family could maintain such a frequent and friendly relationship with the third prince of the empire, it would definitely be glorious and something worth bragging about. However, in Jian Mei’s case, it caused a big fight and made him cry.

However, these people wanted to be associated with and be friends with the third prince, not Lu Xingwang without the halo. But now, he met a somewhat naive child who quarreled with his family over this Lu Xingwang whose halo had faded.

Lu Xingwang sat on the grass in the military base. The teenager half-leaned against a tree, sighed faintly, and clicked the call button to call Jian Mei.

After a long time, the person on the other side finally answered the call with a heavy sobbing tone. “Hello.”

Lu Xingwang said, “Why are you crying again?” fPc7FZ

Jian Mei sniffled. “It’s not illegal to cry.”

Lu Xingwang said, “Is it the first time you quarreled with your parents?”

“En.” Jian Mei replied in a low voice. “I don’t know if I spoke too much and made my mom sad.”

Of course, he knew that Shen Meina was concerned about him. So in retrospect, he couldn’t help but blame himself. C18U7K

Lu Xingwang said slowly, “Do you regret it?”

“Regret…”

Jian Mei replied honestly. “I don’t regret it.”

Lu Xingwang’s lips hooked up, amused with the cuteness of Jian Mei. He spoke in a low voice, but with some doting that Lu Xingwang himself didn’t even notice. “What did you argue about?” EHvLQ0

Jian Mei desperately needed to talk to someone at this moment. He sniffled and started to say, “It all happened when I came out of the shower and then I saw mom was looking at my phone and then she…just didn’t care about what I thought at all. I know she was doing it for my own good, but I’m not happy at all about that. Can you understand how I feel?”

Lu Xingwang replied, “En.”

Jian Mei’s attention was immediately drawn. He asked, “Do you also quarrel with your family?” 3oraNY

How surprising. In Jian Mei’s impression, Dazhuang-ge was a calm and reliable person. Did he also have some rebellious days?

Lu Xingwang told him. “I quarreled with them when I was younger, but not anymore.”

Jian Mei suddenly recalled that Dazhuang-ge’s mother had died, so there was no more chance to quarrel. He actually forgot about it and brought up Lu Xingwang’s sad memories. He quickly changed the topic and said, “Younger…how young were you at that time?”

Lu Xingwang thought about it for a moment. “Five years old.” vB3Tcy

At that time, he saw other children playing outside, so he also wanted to go outside to play. However, Imperial Concubine Lan caught him and scolded him. He didn’t want to accept it and felt wronged. He asked why other children could do it but he couldn’t, then he saw his mother’s stern and sad expression. Even until now, that expression was still vivid.

Jian Mei’s voice came from the other side of the microphone, wiping away some sadness. “So, how old are you now?”

Lu Xingwang replied, “Older than you.”

Jian Mei wasn’t convinced. “That’s not necessarily true.” LAdHDC

“I’m 14.”

“I’m also 14.”

Lu Xingwang thought about his birthday and told him, “October 24.”

Jian Mei was defeated. He was born in December, but it was already October 21. Then wouldn’t Dazhuang-ge’s birthday be coming up soon? So close, if this topic didn’t come up in their discussion, then he’d definitely miss it. fner5L

He sighed softly and said, “You’re really older than me ai.”

Lu Xingwang raised his brow. “You seem very sad.”

“Yes, ah.” Jian Mei muttered, “Why am I always the younger brother?”

Lu Xingwang paused for a while. With a low and relaxing tone, he said, “You sure know how to seek connections and announce us as a relative.” 7 NH4P

This child really knew how to take advantage. He casually recognized Dazhuang-ge as his brother and became a member of the royal family. Even a lottery ticket seller on the street wouldn’t dare to go as far to weave such dreams.

Jian Mei pouted. “What else could I be if not a younger brother?”

This was surely some questioning to the soul.

His Highness who was sitting under a tree was rarely questioned and even his beautiful brows furrowed slightly. He pondered about the relationship between the two of them that he had overlooked or deliberately ignored. Even if he didn’t want to admit it, Jian Mei’s entry into his life was like an extremely fast-growing and inconspicuous grass. At first, it wasn’t very conspicuous, but it grew endlessly after noticing it. fkIUK9

“Hello?” He had been thinking for a long time. Jian Mie’s soft and nasally voice after crying came from the other end. Somewhat docile but full of doubts, he asked, “Is the signal bad? Why aren’t you talking?”

Lu Xingwang replied. “I was lost in thought just now.”

Jian Mei was relieved. With a little bit of vibrancy, he gently asked the question that hadn’t been answered. “Then what am I to you?”

He originally wanted to tease Lu Xingwang and followed up with ‘so, am I your elder brother?” hAIXjT

Surprisingly, the person on the other end of the call fell suspiciously silent once again.

After that, he surprisingly heard Lu Xingwang’s low voice with a seriousness that he felt across the phone. “Friend.”

Jian Mei was stunned. “What?”

No one knew how much meaning these two simple words carried in His Highness’ mind. Lu Xingwang’s serious attitude towards everything made him stricter and extra careful about his relationships— his previous self wouldn’t have believed that he made a promise to a stranger he had never met. Qzd7iM

Moreover, he was very sober.

When Jian Mei didn’t hear it clearly, Lu Xingwang’s gaze deepened. He exhaled and patiently said it again. “Friend.”

Like a small pebble that fell into the pool making ripples. It was obviously a simple word, but Jian Mei’s hand clenched the moment it came out of Lu Xingwang’s lips, and it was as if his sadness was carried away by the wind. It was as if his sincerity had also been reciprocated and wasn’t just one-sided anymore. Now, he was also Dazhuang-ge’s good friend.

Jian Mei’s eyes bent into crescents and said softly, “Okay, then it’s settled. We’re good brothers for life!” gdTvlm

Lu Xingwang didn’t expect Jian Mei to raise him to another level.

He was somewhat helpless but also felt a bit amusing. He never told Jian Mei that the person who really had no friends was him. Unfortunately, this long-term promise was just a dream after all. He would have a short life, it was so short that he should have only been a passerby in Jian Mei’s life. Fortunately, he would be the one to leave first, and the pain of separation wouldn’t be too strong.

The next day.

When Jian Changjia returned from school to get his things early in the morning, he saw his brother sitting in the doorway putting on his shoes. pbBH1N

He was surprised. “Why did you get up so early? It’s only five o’clock. Aren’t you on a school vacation? Mom and dad aren’t awake yet and you haven’t eaten breakfast, right?”

Jian Mei lowered his head and said, “I’m not going to eat breakfast at home.”

Chrysanthemum Garden.

This made Jian Changjia even more curious. “Then where are you going to get breakfast?”

Jian Mei looked away. “I’m going out to eat.” mrs0on

Even so, he noticed that his brother’s eyes were swollen from crying, and for some reason, he woke up so early today, so at first glance, there must be a big problem.

Jian Changjia raised an eyebrow. “Were you bullied at school?”

Jian Mei was startled. As soon as he looked up, he saw his brother’s face scowling, so he shook his head hurriedly. “No.”

This surprised Jian Changjia even more. If it wasn’t the school, then could it be his parents? This was even more unbelievable. His brother hadn’t been in good health since childhood, so it was necessary for him to be careful of emotional ups and downs. Fortunately, he was obedient and sensible, so ever since he was young, he was rarely scolded, let alone other punishments. So what happened this time? sQ0jOn

Jian Mei squeezed his small backpack. He saw his brother staring at him so he finally said in a low voice, “I had a quarrel with mom.”

Surprisingly, his brother didn’t blame him.

On the other hand, Jian Changjia was laughing happily. “Not bad, it’s just puberty. How did it go? Did you win the quarrel?”

Jian Mei pouted. “It’s a tie.” pMby8l

Jian Changjia snorted. “Useless.”

Jian Mei looked away and muttered, “I’m leaving.”

“Come back.”

Jian Mei paused and looked at him with some confusion, then he heard Jian Changjia say, “Aren’t you just avoiding mom? Even if you go out to eat breakfast, can you avoid her once you come back?” Cv lBj

Jian Mei pursed his lips. He didn’t think through this He just didn’t want to face his mom. Now that his brother saw through the matter, he said with some hesitation, “I…I’ll go to the park.”

Jian Changjia sneered. “You’re not afraid of being abducted and sold away.”

Jian Mei glared at him.

Even so, Jian Changjia approached him, leaned down half way,and put his arm around Jian Mei’s shoulders. For the first time, the wild teenager decided to take his brother to see the world. “Let’s go. I’m in a good mood today, I’ll take you out for a good time!” wnuT5O

The author has something to say:

Every family has difficulties. Yesterday, I saw a comment and I still remember it now. A child’s growth is a slow process to understand their parents’ challenges, and it is also a gradual process for the parents to understand the child. As a matter of fact, there is no deep hatred between a child and their parents.  It’s often still just words poorly expressed.
