Oh no! My online romance partner is actually a Miao holy maiden!

"So, do you like her or not?" Xu Qin sneered, crossing her arms and adopting the air of a relationship guru.

"Alright, since your CPU is fried, I'll help you out today. I'll ask you some questions, so answer honestly."

"What?"

Xu Qin stared into his eyes: "My first question is, how do you feel when she's around?"

Images of Bai Ling'er flashed through Xu Yi's mind.

Clingy, jealous, and prone to giving longing glances—though occasionally her yandere tendencies can be creepy, but...

"I feel... quite at ease. I'm used to her clinging to me all the time," Xu Yi answered honestly.

"Then what about the second question, what if she's not around? For example, when you can't get through to her on the phone?"

Xu Yi's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

He pursed his lips: "It's very uncomfortable. I feel empty inside, and I have no energy to do anything."

"Third question: When she's happy, are you happy? When she's sad, how do you feel?"

Xu Yi blurted out, "Of course I'm happy if she's happy."

I don't want her to be sad.

After answering these questions, a brief silence fell over the corner of the kitchen.

Xu Qin glanced at him sideways, her eyes full of disdain.

Why is my younger brother so dull-witted...?

But thinking about it, it's not surprising. He's such a grown man, and he only found someone online.

He had never even held a girl's hand before.

Xu Qin clapped her hands, sealing the deal.

"Alright, alright, you're just being stubborn."

Xu Yi: "........"

Xu Qin slapped him in exasperation.

"If you like her, cherish her. Such a good girl is hard to find. Don't be a jerk and let her down."

"I don't want to be a jerk, I just don't know how to proceed with this relationship..."

"How should we get along? Since you like her, you should definitely stand up for yourself and give her a formal confession!"

Xu Qin immediately made the decision.

"Leave the arrangements to me. I know a friend who does wedding planning. He can take care of the flowers, drones, and fireworks."

"Where should we go? My friend and I will plan that out carefully."

Xu Yi was stunned.

"Sis, there's no need to be so flashy... I'm socially awkward."

"You're socially awkward, yet you engage in online dating; you even meet up in person; and you bring your date home?"

"Shut up and do as I say!"

Xu Qin directly suppressed him with her bloodline power, saying, "You'd better go back to the living room right now and behave yourself."

She glanced at her good-for-nothing younger brother.

How come she has such a stupid younger brother when she is so decisive and intelligent?

I don't know how to interact with the girl I like.

It was always the other girl who took the initiative...

After they finished speaking, they came out.

Xu Yi followed behind Xu Qin, being scolded like a grandson.

Bai Ling'er, who was on the sofa, turned her head slightly to the side.

Seeing Xu Yi's expression, her smile deepened.

Brother Yi, look, even my sister is helping me.

You really can't escape it in this lifetime.

Xu Qin looked at Bai Ling'er and smiled, "Oh, right, I brought some fruit. Eat more of it. If you like it, just tell your sister and I'll get you some more."

"That brat dared to bully you! Just tell me, and I'll teach him a lesson!"

After saying that, she glared at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi forced a smile.

Bai Ling'er maintained her sweet and obedient persona throughout.

She nodded vigorously, occasionally glancing at Xu Yi standing to the side out of the corner of her eye.

Xu Yi stood there, feeling as if she was about to lose even the right to breathe in this house.

Finally, Xu Qin glanced down at her watch: "Alright, I have a morning meeting at the company, I have to go now. Ling'er, feel free to contact me on WeChat if you need anything."

"Okay, sister, take care on your journey." Bai Ling'er waved sweetly.

Xu Qin walked to the door, turned around and glared at Xu Yi fiercely, mouthing a silent warning.

"I'll break your legs when that scumbag comes along!"

"Bang."

The security door was closed.

The living room fell silent instantly.

Bai Ling'er slowly turned around.

"Brother Yi, are you hungry? Let's go eat breakfast."

"I am a little hungry." Xu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

The dinner table.

Bai Ling'er ladled out a bowl of steaming hot white rice porridge and handed it to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi tentatively asked, "Ling'er, our class is having a gathering this Saturday. Zhang Wei and the others mentioned it in the group chat yesterday. Would you like to come with me?"

Bai Ling'er paused slightly in her chopsticks and looked up at him.

"Brother Yi, do you want Ling'er to be with you?"

Xu Yi didn't know what to say.

Just as Bai Ling'er was about to speak, her phone vibrated.

It's Xu Qin's information.

The two had become friends before Xu Yi returned.

"No, I have plans for Saturday."

Xu Yi was taken aback, then thought, perhaps he had an appointment with Lin Xiao?

He had previously noticed that the two had a good relationship.

That's good, she has her own circle of friends and her own life.

Thinking of this, he nodded and continued eating.

After resting for a day, the two went to school together the next day.

When Zhang Wei and his friends saw Xu Yi arrive, they eagerly gathered around him.

Zhang Wei: "Old Xu, how far have things progressed for you guys?"

Liu Zheyuan also looked curious, "Yeah, Lao Xu, you've already handed over the phone, does that mean you're officially dating?"

Chen Yang didn't speak, and stared at Xu Yi.

Xu Yi felt somewhat helpless.

He sighed. "My sister found out. She came to deliver fruit yesterday and saw Ling'er."

The group opened their mouths wide, signaling Xu Yi to continue.

"Actually, I like her too, but I don't know what to do next..."

The group exclaimed in unison, "Ew!"

Chen Yang: "If you ask me, Lao Xu, you should just go for it. We all saw you go to the temple; she's been incredibly good to you."

Zhang Wei raised an eyebrow and patted Xu Yi on the shoulder.

"Do you need our help?"

Xu Yi rolled her eyes at the group, "Come on, you guys don't even have an online boyfriend, let alone a real-life one..."

Zhang Wei was still unconvinced, "Who says military experience necessarily requires combat experience!"

Chen Yang chimed in, "Yeah, even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run, right?"

"A little romance, easily controlled."

..............

The group was arguing and making noise, but Xu Yi couldn't hear a thing.

His head felt a little numb...

So much has happened these past few days.

Special emotional matters.

Given Bai Ling'er's personality and status, if he agrees, he'll be bound to her for life.

This isn't just a simple romantic relationship...

But he couldn't let Bai Ling'er down.

His mind was in turmoil.

At the same time, Bai Ling'er went to the classroom as usual.

Lin Xiao arrived early in the morning.

He saw Bai Ling'er and waved to her.

"What's wrong? You haven't been here for the past few days?"

"Also, what happened between you and Xu Yi from the finance department?"

Bai Ling'er smiled slightly, "It's nothing, my brother came and took care of some things."

"My relationship with Brother Yi is... going very well."

"Perhaps, I'll soon go back to the village with him and get married."

Lin Xiao's eyes widened. "Get married?"

Bai Ling'er nodded, "Yes, marriage is the custom of our village. If Brother Yi is willing, I can marry him."

Lin Xiao was even more surprised; her jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Marry him?!"
