Chapter 144 It's alright, we're all on the same side.
After a pause, Jin'an finally spoke: "19."
Xiao Shun gasped sharply, his voice booming as if he were about to collapse: "19? I...I'm 19 too!"
Uh... her brother's classmate... seems to have... something wrong with his head?
She was a little confused: "19... what's wrong?"
Jintao, however, immediately understood what Xiaoshun meant upon seeing his unusual behavior. He felt a surge of anger rush to his head, as if he wanted to crush Xiaoshun's head.
So... Xiao Shun's true love... is his sister?!
Hehehehe, it seems Jintao has realized this, this is going to be fun~
[Jin Tao must be devastated right now. How could he have imagined that his good brother and his sister would be so deeply entangled in fate, and that they were even destined to be together!]
With such a deep connection, even if he wanted to break them up, he wouldn't dare to act rashly.
[Tsk tsk tsk, I'm starting to feel sorry for Jintao.]
The delicate little cabbage, so precious it seemed, was stolen by its own best friend.
Lu Yining was having a great time watching the excitement. She even took a toothpick, stuck it into a piece of cantaloupe, and took a bite.
Lu Yunchen, who was busy in the kitchen, looked somewhat helpless upon hearing this, but more than that, he showed indulgence.
But... he glanced in Li Manrong's direction.
Some things need to be discussed and agreed upon first.
"Manrong, you..."
"These...are your sister's...true feelings?"
Lu Yunchen and Li Manrong spoke at the same time, the only difference being that one's tone was full of deliberation, while the other's face was full of shock.
"You... can hear it?"
Lu Yunchen was shocked for a few seconds, but after the shock subsided, he remembered what Lu Yunjie had once told him: his third brother said that anyone who had touched his body could hear his fifth sister's thoughts.
touch?
Lu Yunchen lowered his eyes and looked at the little finger that was resting on the back of his hand. No wonder Manrong could hear Fifth Sister's thoughts.
“Yes.” Lu Yunchen said in a low voice, “Our whole family can hear it.”
"Then...then how come I...heard it too?"
She's not his family.
"Because your fingers touched my hand," Lu Yunchen continued to explain in a low voice, "Anything that touches us can be heard."
Upon hearing this, Li Manrong quickly withdrew her hand as if she had touched something hot. She awkwardly tossed her hair and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I just... I just wanted you to get me a bottle of soy sauce."
Lu Yunchen glanced to his left and sure enough, he found a bottle of soy sauce there. He casually picked it up and handed it to Li Manrong: "It's okay, we're all family."
"what?"
what?
Did she... mishear?
Otherwise... how could she have heard Yun Chen say that she and he... were on the same side?
Her dazed look was so adorable that he almost lost control and blurted out his innermost thoughts. But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that now was not the time. After pausing for a few seconds, he swallowed his words back.
He changed his tune and said, "It's alright. So, what do you think of that couple?"
Li Manrong looked in the direction of Xiao Shun and Jin An, and smiled gently: "Let the young people handle their own affairs. I won't interfere."
No one outside the kitchen heard their conversation.
At this moment, Jintao stared at Xiaoshun, Xiaoshun looked at Jin'an, and Jin'an... looked at Lu Yining with a joyful expression.
Her eyes shone brightly, staring intently at Lu Yining without blinking. She clasped her hands together on her stomach, nervously churning them: "Empress Ningning, can I... get an autograph too?"
She had been all cool and stylish before entering the house, but when facing Lu Yining, she revealed a rare hint of girlish charm.
As they were going up the stairs, her brother told her that Empress Ningning was visiting her cousin's house and that he had even gotten her autograph. At the time, she thought her brother was just bragging.
Until... not long ago, she glanced to the side and caught sight of a piece of clothing spread out on the sofa. A large signature was displayed in front of her and caught her eye.
Before I could even be surprised, I saw an unexpected figure sitting lazily on the sofa. Those familiar eyes, nose, and mouth—it was alive!
Her idol!
Alive!
Before her mind could even process what was happening, she had already rushed up to Lu Yining and blurted out that she wanted an autograph.
"Okay." Lu Yining skillfully picked up the ballpoint pen still on the table: "Where do you want to sign?"
“Signed…” Jin An lowered her eyes and glanced at the clothes she was wearing. They were black… and the marker was also black…
“I have a notebook.” Seeing Jin’an’s troubled expression, Jin Tao spoke up at the right time. After a pause, he added, “It’s new and hasn’t been stained yet.”
Jin'an's hesitation vanished, and she spread her hands, saying without any politeness, "Give it to me."
"He didn't even say thank you." As he walked towards his backpack, Jintao couldn't help but mutter this complaint.
Jin'an scoffed, "What kind of relationship do we have? Do I need to say thank you?"
Only Xiao Shun looked completely dumbfounded: "What is your relationship?"
Jin'an and Jintao looked at him at the same time, and even Lu Yining couldn't help but look in his direction.
One is named Jin'an, and the other is named Jintao. Moreover, their eyebrows and eyes are so similar. What do you think their relationship is?
Jintao gave Xiaoshun a wicked look: "Little brother."
In an instant, Xiao Shuntian collapsed...
His heart was truly beating for a man! And this man was his best friend's younger brother!
Is this a destined match?
Is it truly my destined partner?
Xiao Shun looked at Lu Yining with a mournful expression. Are you sure... this isn't a tragic fate?
Ah... this beautiful misunderstanding. It seems Xiao Shun's path to winning back his wife isn't going so smoothly.
Lu Yunchen: Who cares? As long as his own pursuit of his wife goes smoothly, it's none of his business whether other people live or die!
That guy was trying to steal his wife just half an hour ago!
He absolutely cannot sympathize with him!
Jin'an didn't argue when she heard this. She was already used to it; her brother would often assign her a random identity when he was away from home. Sometimes she would be his younger brother, sometimes his younger sister, sometimes his older brother, and sometimes his older sister.
When she's away from home, her identity is given to her by her brother.
Taking the new notebook from Jintao, Jin'an opened it, held it in both hands, and looked at Lu Yining expectantly: "Empress Ningning, may I sign this?"
"no problem."
