Someone amongst the crowd laughed.

Yu Yue gave Zhang Yan a dissatisfied look and put down the game gun, pulling Ling Qing to leave.

Ling Qing didn’t move. Yu Yue was puzzled.

Ling Qing asked her, “Remember what I just said?”

She remembered. Ling Qing had told her that nobody was qualified to put her second and she didn’t need to relegate herself to second either. There was no need for her to leave because of Zhang Yan.

As long as she wanted to play this game, she could continue to play this game. Yu Yue nodded and said, “Then let’s play another round.”

“Good,” Ling Qing replied softly.

He seemed to have finally noticed Zhang Yan standing on the side at this time and appeared surprised, “Did you just ask me something?”

Zhang Yan nodded, “Yes.”

Ling Qing smiled, “Sorry, I only teach two types of people. The first type are good looking people like our family’s Yueyue and the second are kind hearted people also like our family’s Yueyue. You on the other hand…”

Ling Qing looked at her and shook his head. “You should have your boyfriend teach you.”

“Ah, but I remember your boyfriend isn’t that skilled. I’m a bit better. As the saying goes, fish look for fish, shrimp look for shrimp, and the turtle is king.* The two of you are really well matched.” *like begets like

With a bang, Sun Zhennan slammed his game gun down and glared at Ling Qing.

Ling Qing didn’t seem to care and eyed Zhang Yan. “Your boyfriend is upset. Shouldn’t you console him? But he’s so irritable, who knows if he’ll abuse you in the future.”

As he heard this, Sun Zhennan made a fist and struck at Ling Qing. Zhang Yan was startled.

Yu Yue hurried over to stop their fight but found that Sun Zhennan had already been thrown to the ground by Ling Qing.

“Brother, are you okay?” Yu Yue said with concern.

Sun Zhennan couldn’t believe it. He was beaten, yet the person Yu Yue cared about was her older brother!

“Yu Yue, you like this kind of person?!” Sun Zhennan shouted.

Yu Yue was speechless. This is her sister-in-law. What do you mean like? Of course she likes her sister-in-law.

She didn’t have that kind of like for her brother’s spouse. Otherwise, was she going to need to have a little chat with her older brother?!

“You seem to have been mistaken,” Ling Qing said calmly, “It’s not that Yueyue likes me, it’s that I like Yueyue.”

“Xiao Yueyue is so pretty and cute, who doesn’t like her? Can’t you see, there are many people who like her.”

Yu Yue: …

She bowed her head silently. Her surname was Yu, not Ma, and definitely not Li*. *mǎ for horse and lì for beauty

When Zhang Yan heard this, she embedded her nails into her palms, feeling like her lungs were about to burst.

Why?! Why do so many people like Yu Yue!

Just what was so good about Yu Yue that she doesn’t like others, but others like her.

Zhang Yan looked at them and smiled in anger, “It’s too bad that you like Yu Yue but Yu Yue doesn’t like you. She likes my boyfriend, Sun Zhennan. Isn’t that right Yu Yue?”

Yu Yue froze as Sun Zhennan looked at her with hope in his eyes.

“You crazy?” Ling Qing laughed, “Yueyue likes him? What does she like about him? That he’s grumpy and looks at the pot while eating out of his bowl? Or that he likes to hesitate like a timid coward? This type of scum that you think of as a treasure, I think of as ugly.”

“You…” Sun Zhennan rose to try to hit Ling Qing again but was kicked down and forced to kneel.

Ling Qing slowly added, “Just like a weak chicken.”

Zhang Yan: …

Yu Yue: …

Ling Qing continued to sharpen his knife, “My type of person lives in the shadow of people like my family’s Xiao Yue. And you have the nerve to say that Yu Yue likes this type of trash? It doesn’t matter if you’re a dumpster, because Yueyue is not.

He turned to Yu Yue and said gently, “Because our family’s Yueyue is a princess.”

Yu Yue: … It’s embarrassing but also inexplicably refreshing!

The crowd watching them felt their blood pumping at his words, “He’s too good.”

“So sweet, I wish I had him as a boyfriend.”

“The contrast is quite clear. This sister isn’t stupid, everyone knows to choose the childhood friend.”

“Why didn’t I have this type of childhood friend, ying ying ying.”

Hearing this, Sun Zhennan was unable to save face and stood up, leaving. Zhang Yan hesitated as she watched him leave but went to catch up.

Nevertheless, she gave Ling Qing a glance before she left. She used to think that Sun Zhennan was pretty good, especially because it seemed that Yu Yue liked Sun Zhennan.

Therefore, she worked tirelessly to become Sun Zhennan’s girlfriend. Yet, Sun Zhennan now seemed worthless in comparison to someone else. Without her knowing, her heart had become partial to the other side.

It was a pity that a girl like her never entered Ling Qing’s sights. From beginning to the end, Ling Qing never spared her a glance.

Sun Zhennan left and Yu Yue unknowingly glanced in the direction of his departure.

Ling Qing saw this and patted her shoulder as he leaned close and said quietly, “He doesn’t deserve you.”

Having been discovered, Yu Yue lowered her head in shame.

Ling Qing smiled and asked Lele, “Did you have fun?”

Lele nodded, “I had fun.”

“Then, do you still want to play this game?”

Lele nodded and Ling Qing continued to play with them for a while. Around 5 o’clock, Yu Chen and Ling Qing met up and brought the children home.

Yueyue waited until she was finished eating before she whispered to Ling Qing, “Brother Ling, can I talk to you?”

Ling Qing nodded and Yu Chen looked at them suspiciously, “You two having a private chat?”

Yueyue nodded.

Ling Qing smiled to appease him, “Relax, I won’t eat your sister.”

Yu Chen looked at Yu Yue, “And I’m not allowed to listen.”

Yu Yue nodded solemnly.

Yu Chen: …

It feels like his sister turned into Ling Qing’s sister. Why did it seem like his brothers and sisters betrayed him in a matter of two or three days?

Ling Qing saw his depressed face and smiled, reaching out to caress his chin before quickly retracting his hand. “Let’s go Yueyue.”

After saying this, he went upstairs with Yueyue, leaving a lonely Yu Chen to touch his own chin.

What Yu Yue wanted to convey was simple, it was her emotional problems. She was a bit shy and embarrassed as she whispered to Ling Qing, “Sun Zhennan helped me a few times. He kept asking me questions and wanted to go out to play with me when I was on vacation. I thought he liked me but he didn’t say anything and I was too embarrassed to ask. But this semester, he got together with Zhang Yan.”

“Zhang Yan doesn’t like me and I don’t like her either. I don’t understand how Sun Zhennan got together with Zhang Yan because he didn’t have any contact with her before? So I was upset and avoided them. Sun Zhennan came to look for me a few times but I didn’t care. I didn’t expect to see them today.”

Yu Yue whispered to him, “Sorry for getting you involved.”

“It’s not a big deal,” Ling Qing said gently, “I’m your brother’s spouse and we’re family. There’s no need to be polite.”

Yu Yue laughed, “Anyways, you were really handsome today. Thank you for helping me.”

“Your future boyfriend will also be very handsome,” Ling Qing consoled her.

Yu Yue felt a bit embarrassed.

Ling Qing looked at her and asked, “So, do you still like Sun Zhennan?”

Thinking about it, Yu Yue answered earnestly, “You said he wasn’t worthy of me.”

“Yeah,” Ling Qing imparted, “It seemed he liked you, otherwise he wouldn’t be so hostile towards me. But even if he likes you, he was so ambivalent. Now he has a girlfriend but he can’t let you go, what a scum. Therefore, he’s not worthy of your love.”

Yu Yue nodded, “I think in the future, he and Zhang Yan won’t look for me.” She looked at Ling Qing, “At my age, it’s only puppy love.”

Ling Qing smiled and said tenderly, “You’re young. Will you meet the right one at your age? It’s possible, but not every couple can make it to the end. So nothing should be unclear or hesitant. If he likes you, he’ll tell you rather than keeping you guessing and he shouldn’t be involved with other girls. At the same time, if he likes you, he should think about your feelings and not embarrass you.*” *speak for yourself Ling Qing

“Love should bring joy. If he brings you confusion, uneasiness, or pain, he’s not good for you.”

Yu Yue nodded. “I know. If I meet someone I like in the future, I’ll let you know.”

“Okay.” Ling Qing patted her head. “It’s better later than sooner. Puppy love at your age tends to lead to sorrow rather than joy.”

“I’ll try not to.” Yu Yue laughed.

The two of them engaged in pleasant conversation. Before their talk ended, Ling Qing asked “Are you going to tell your brother about this?”

Yu Yue thought for a moment before asking, “If I don’t tell him, will it affect your relationship?”

“That shouldn’t be the case, but your brother might be worried about you. After all, you’re his little sister.”

“Then you decide, you’re much smarter than me. But you can’t tell my parents or Huanhuan or Xinxin*.” *I guess Lele is fair game (?)

“Don’t worry, I’ll only tell your brother.”

Ling Qing studied her and felt she was really cute. Such a cute little sister, the feeling was really novel.

When Yu Chen saw him returning, he commented, “What is so mysterious that I, her brother, can’t know, but you, the sister-in-law, can know?”

Ling Qing reached out and tweaked his nose, asking him, “Do you smell that? The smell of a lot of vinegar? Did Auntie spill a big bottle of vinegar when she was cooking today?”

Yu Chen: …

Yu Chen flipped the pages of his book in anger!

Ling Qing got in bed and sat up. “Want to know what your sister said?”

“I’m her brother. Shouldn’t I want to know?.”

“Yeah,” Ling Qing nodded, “I’ll tell you but you can’t tell anyone else. That’s what Yueyue said. She doesn’t want many people to know.”

“You two have a really good relationship. She didn’t want many people to know but she told you first.”

Ling Qing smiled, “Maybe because I’m better looking.”

“You? Better looking?” Yu Chen laughed, “Are you joking?”

“Well fine,” Ling Qing smiled, “Then ask Yueyue what she said to me. Since I’m such a jokester, I’ve decided to go to bed.”

After saying this, Ling Qing took out his pajamas, got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Yu Chen: ???

Yu Chen watched helplessly as he walked away. How could he just walk away?!

Half an hour later, Ling Qing got out of the shower and saw Yu Chen still sitting in the same position as before.

“Done showering?”

Ling Qing ignored him.

Yu Chen: …

Yu Chen coughed, “Do you want some water?”

“Yes.” Ling Qing answered.

Yu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and tried to hand him a glass of water.

However, Ling Qing didn’t reach out to take it and said innocently, “Sorry, I was just joking.”

He turned around and laid down in bed.

Yu Chen, who was still holding a glass of water: …

Yu Chen had no choice but to put down the glass of water, apologizing, “I was wrong, okay? Don’t be mad.”
