Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 277 A Desperate Struggle, but a Surprise from the Other Half

The entrance hall of Binhu Shuangxi, with its open front door.

Meng Ziyi was still clinging to Jiang Qing, her waist firmly supported by his arms, her cheek resting against his chest, her body carrying the warm, fruity scent of her after a bath.

Her mind raced, but before she could come up with a solution, she blurted out, "If I said this was an accident, would you believe me?"

The moment the words left her mouth, she wanted to slap herself!
What are you talking about, you stubborn mum?!

Who can believe this?

Even a dog wouldn't believe it if you told someone!
"Sister Ziyi~"

Jiang Nan walked in slowly, arms crossed, and closed the heavy door behind her.

Those beautiful almond-shaped eyes, so similar to Jiang Qing's, were now scanning Meng Ziyi like searchlights.

From her alluring black silk halter dress that accentuated her curves, to her meticulously applied seductive makeup, and even the arm that was still tightly wrapped around Jiang Qing's waist.

Jiang Nan's face tightened little by little. The anger she felt from learning about her brother's playboy behavior in the car that evening quickly transformed into a look of disappointment and frustration, as if to say, "See? I knew it."

"Oh dear! Jiang Nan!"

As if burned, Meng Ziyi jerked away from Jiang Qing's embrace, her bare feet stepping onto the warm entryway floor tiles. She awkwardly scratched the ends of her slightly curly hair, her cheeks quickly flushing red, her eyes darting around.

"Um...I...I was just passing by! Yes! I was passing through Luyang and thought I'd stop by to see your brother...and discuss...that...script!"

She spoke incoherently, her voice growing softer and softer, and the last two words, "script," sounded weak and unconvincing.

"Oh—? Passing through Luyang?"

Jiang Nan drew out the last syllable, crossed her arms, took a few steps closer, and circled around Meng Ziyi, who was frozen in place, her eyes sharp.

"Discussing the script? Discussing the script requires taking a special shower and changing into such a... well, such a thoughtful dress. And Ziyi, when did you become so close to my brother that you can just walk into his house? And such a warm and enthusiastic surprise hug?"

With each word she spoke, Meng Ziyi lowered her head further, her ears turning bright red, wishing she could disappear into the ground.

"Jiang Nan!"

Meng Ziyi suddenly raised her head, her watery peach blossom eyes filled with embarrassment, her voice carrying a hint of coquettish resentment.

"I...I didn't mean to lie to you! Before...before I felt the timing wasn't right! And I was afraid you...you'd laugh at me!"

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Qing pitifully, her eyes filled with cries for help.

Jiang Qing received the signal and was about to speak up to smooth things over when Jiang Nan preempted him, mimicking his tone in the car earlier, and slowly interrupted him.

"Feelings... aren't a black-and-white math problem, right, bro?"

She glanced at Jiang Qing, her eyes clearly saying, "Look, another one! Your math problem is complicated enough!"

Jiang Qing received her sister's reproachful look, which implied "everything is understood without words," and helplessly shrugged, spreading her hands to Meng Ziyi in a gesture that said, "You see, there's nothing I can do."

"Jiang Qing!"

Seeing that he wouldn't help her, Meng Ziyi stomped her bare feet in anger, her slender white ankles dazzling under the light.

She stormed over, clenched her little fists, and punched his chest several times. The punches weren't hard, but rather a mix of coquettish annoyance and playful embarrassment.

"Your sister is bullying me! And you're not even doing anything about it!"

"Who bullied you!"

Jiang Nan stood with her hands on her hips, trying her best to maintain the dignity of a "judge," but the smile in her eyes was almost impossible to hide.

Seeing Meng Ziyi's shy, anxious, incoherent, and even slapping manner is quite a contrast to her bright and beautiful image in the drama, which is really cute!
"You're the one who bullied me!"

Meng Ziyi turned her head, raised her delicate chin, and decided to go all out!

"So what if I like your brother? Is it illegal? I'm perfectly open about it! I even brought him some snowflake crisps that my mom made herself! They're so delicious! They're right there on the coffee table!"

The more she spoke, the straighter she became, and she even pointed towards the living room, as if that box of snowflake crisps was her trump card.

"Pfft~"

Jiang Nan couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

The seriousness he had just been putting on shattered instantly.

Looking at Meng Ziyi's face, which was even brighter and more vivid with excitement, and that little expression that said, "I like it, I'm proud, I have snowflake crisps, I'm invincible," she laughed so hard she bent over.

"Hahaha... Sister Ziyi! Your way of changing the subject is just too... too hardcore! Snowflake crisps? Hahaha..."

Jiang Nan clutched her stomach, laughing so hard tears were almost streaming down her face.

Meng Ziyi was a little confused by her laughter, blinking her big eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering like small fans.

"What...what are you laughing at? It's really delicious! I brought it here especially for you!"

"Yes, yes, yes, delicious, delicious!"

Jiang Nan finally managed to stop laughing, straightened up, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and looked at Meng Ziyi's bewildered yet earnest expression. The displeasure she felt from being "deceived" earlier completely vanished, leaving only the thought, "How can this older sister be so funny?"

Previously, when they were in Beijing, Meng Ziyi had privately invited her to dinner twice, posing as Jiang Qing's friend.

At that time, although she saw through the older sister's thoughts, she didn't think too much about it. After all, there were countless people who wanted to follow her path to pursue Jiang Qing over the years.

Little did I know that this older sister had already been having an affair with her brother, and even more unexpectedly, she had such an adorable side; she's absolutely irresistible!
She stepped forward and pinched Meng Ziyi's cheeks, which were slightly puffed up from excitement.

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore! I'll forgive you for keeping this from me before, since you're so cute!"

Meng Ziyi then realized that she had been tricked; Jiang Nan's angry expression earlier was all an act!
"Jiang Nan! You little rascal! You lied to me!"

Meng Ziyi instantly bristled, her face turning bright red with embarrassment and anger. She lunged forward, baring her teeth and claws, to tickle Jiang Nan.

"See how I deal with you!"

"Ah! Help! Bro! Do something about your girlfriend!"

Jiang Nan shouted and complained, then nimbly hid behind Jiang Qing, using him as a shield.

Meng Ziyi was not about to let her go, so she bypassed Jiang Qing and went after her.

The two girls instantly started chasing and playing around in the spacious living room.

Jiang Nan, taking advantage of her agility, ran around the sofa, with Meng Ziyi chasing closely on the soft carpet. Her black silk skirt swayed with her movements, like a fluttering butterfly.

The space was instantly filled with crisp laughter and screams.

"Don't run!"

"Come and get me! You idiot, Sister Yi!"

"Hey! Little girl, who are you calling an idiot!"

Jiang Qing was treated like a pillar by them, helplessly standing in the middle, watching two people who were very important to her chase and play in front of her. One was bright and charming, and the other was lively and cunning. The subtle tension in the car and at the door just now had vanished, leaving only pure joy.

The corners of his mouth unconsciously curved higher and higher, and his eyes were filled with a gentle smile.

After a while of commotion, Meng Ziyi finally seized an opportunity and pounced on Jiang Nan, pinning her down on the large, soft sofa.

Both of them were laughing so hard they were out of breath, their hair was messy, and their little faces were flushed.

"Do you...do you submit?" Meng Ziyi asked smugly, pressing down on Jiang Nan.

"I...I'm convinced!"

Jiang Nan raised her hands in surrender, laughing so hard she could hardly breathe.

"Sister Ziyi is mighty! Sister Ziyi, have mercy!"

Meng Ziyi finally released her with satisfaction, then collapsed onto the other side of the sofa, exhausted. Her chest heaved, revealing a patch of white skin, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. A few strands of hair clung to her smooth forehead, adding to her allure.

Jiang Nan sat up, straightened her crooked scarf and hair, and looked at Meng Ziyi beside her, who was also smiling broadly and had no regard for her image. Suddenly, she felt that this "future sister-in-law" was not bad at all.

At least I don't have to put on airs when I'm with her, and I'm very happy.

Her clear, bright eyes darted around, and she leaned closer to Meng Ziyi, lowering her voice with a mischievous smirk.

"Sister Ziyi, your surprise plan was only half successful?"

She glanced meaningfully at Jiang Qing, who was still standing by the sofa, smiling at them.

Meng Ziyi followed her gaze and met Jiang Qing's deep, smiling eyes. The blush that had just faded on her face suddenly burned up again.

She quickly sat up straight, pretending to adjust her skirt, and muttered under her breath.

"Wha...what do you mean halfway to success! I...I'm just here to deliver snowflake crisps!"

"Oh~ Snowflake crisps for you~"

Jiang Nan deliberately dragged out the tone, her smile as cunning as a little fox.

She stood up, stretched, dusted off non-existent dust, and waved to Jiang Qing and Meng Ziyi.

"Alright, the snowflake crisps have arrived, but the surprises aren't over yet. This third wheel is leaving!"

She pointed to her room at the end of the corridor.

"I'm going back inside! I'm exhausted, I've been traveling all day!"

Before the two could answer, she walked to her bedroom door, grabbed the doorknob, and suddenly stopped. She turned around and winked playfully at the two people in the living room, deliberately raising her voice to be clear and mischievous.

"By the way, brother, sister Ziyi, keep it down tonight! No matter how good the soundproofing is, some people... well, they get too excited! Be careful not to disturb my sleep! Goodnight!"

After saying that, before the two could react, he clicked open the door and darted inside, leaving the two people in the living room frozen in shock.

Meng Ziyi's cheeks turned completely red, even her delicate collarbones were tinged with pink, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to shrink into the crack of the sofa.

She grabbed a cushion and covered her face, revealing only a pair of watery, indignant, peach blossom eyes glaring at Jiang Qing, her muffled voice coming from behind the cushion.

"It's all your fault, Jiang Qing! Your sister is going to make a fool of me! I'm so embarrassed!"

Jiang Qing looked at the "ostrich" in front of her, who had buried herself in a pillow and only had her blushing ears showing. The lingering smile from her sister's teasing, mixed with her charming and alluring appearance, instantly ignited an even deeper heat in her heart.

"Ah……"

He chuckled softly, his voice sounding exceptionally magnetic and alluring in the quiet living room.

He walked a few steps to the sofa, bent down, and with a large hand, he accurately slipped his hand under Meng Ziyi's knees and back, and with a little force, he picked up the beauty who was still trapped in shame and indignation!

"Ah! What are you doing!"

Meng Ziyi exclaimed in surprise, and the cushion in her hand fell to the ground.

She instinctively wrapped her arms around Jiang Qing's neck, leaving her suspended in mid-air, the thin black silk skirt draped down, outlining her curvaceous figure.

"Who are you missing?"

Jiang Qing carried her and strode towards the master bedroom, his deep eyes fixed on her flushed cheeks, his voice low and slightly hoarse with a laugh.

“My sister is right, the surprise… is only half done, the other half…”

He paused deliberately, tightened his arms around her, and felt the soft body in his arms tense up instantly before slowly adding the second half of his sentence. He lowered his head and gently brushed his warm breath against her sensitive earlobe.

"It will take our joint efforts to complete this."

Meng Ziyi shivered from the heat of his breath, her cheeks turned bright red, and even her neck was tinged with a blush.

She clenched her small fists in embarrassment and annoyance, pounding his strong shoulders and protesting in a coquettish voice.

"Jiang Qing! Put me down! You scoundrel! Who wants to be with you... um..."

The next second, Jiang Qing silenced the protest by bowing his head.

Soon, her body went limp.

Jiang Qing carried the girl, who had already lost consciousness, straight into the master bedroom. The door closed silently behind him, cutting off the light from the living room.

At the end of the corridor, behind that tightly closed guest room door.

Jiang Nan didn't go to wash up immediately. Instead, like a curious kitten, she quietly pressed her ear against the cold door and held her breath.

First came Jiang Qing's low laughter and Meng Ziyi's embarrassed and annoyed protest from the living room, followed by the sudden disappearance of footsteps and the soft sound of the master bedroom door closing...

Then, it became completely quiet.

"Tsk..."

Jiang Nan pouted in disappointment, straightened up, and made a small face at the door.

"This is boring, it's already quiet? I thought..."

She muttered to herself, then suddenly snapped back to reality. The girl quickly shook her head, her face slightly flushed.

"Forget it, forget it, don't listen to what's improper!"

She patted her cheeks, turned around and rushed to the soft bed in the room, burying herself in the fluffy blankets, making muffled noises.

"You scumbag brother! You idiot sister Yi! Humph!"

Despite complaining, a faint smile crept onto her lips.

Although her brother's relationship situation was so complicated that it gave her a headache, at least... tonight's surprise scene was quite fun, wasn't it?

She rolled over, hugged a huge cat-shaped plush pillow next to her, rubbed against it, and slowly closed her eyes.

Today has been quite an eventful day. After receiving such shocking information, she was exhausted and too sleepy to move at all.

She decided to take a nap first, instead of showering.

Make a note of this in your little notebook, and find a chance to get revenge next time!

She was also a little scared. What if she heard something she shouldn't hear later?
Go to sleep!

"Tch... what a scumbag brother~"

The extremely tired girl mumbled something in her sleep and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Meanwhile, the scene in the master bedroom was completely different.
