[Ordinary Girl] My boyfriend's brothers are all very curious about me.

Zong Yan opened the door, and the handsome man who had almost cried in the stairwell just moments before reappeared in front of Lin Su.

Sheng Qiming stood at the door, his hair a little messy, his pants a little dusty, and his eyes still a little red. He looked like he had just climbed up from the stairwell.

The fact is, he didn't leave.

"I'm just here to freeload a meal, my last one. Tomorrow my dad is sending me abroad for further studies," Sheng Qiming said pitifully.

What reason could Zong Yan possibly have to stop him from coming in? "You've come at just the right time; we haven't even touched a bite yet."

Sheng Qiming washed his hands and sat down opposite Lin Su. He glared at her with his red eyes, though only one eye was red; the other was blue.

Zong Yan also saw the resentful look in his eyes. He was about to scold him, but seeing that Lin Su didn't care at all, he looked at his eyes again and decided to let it go.

"Let's eat."

Lin Su didn't eat rice for dinner. She picked up some vegetables from her empty bowl and ate them with her head down. Someone stepped on her pink slippers again, and she quickly pulled them back.

"This dish is good, did you make it?" Sheng Qiming suddenly asked.

"No," Lin Su politely raised her head and said politely, "Eat more if you like."

Seeing that she treated him like a hostess, Sheng Qiming was so angry that he shut his mouth again. He lowered his head and ate his meal in silence, finishing two bowls of rice before he was full.

This time, Zong Yan didn't order him around; he took the empty bowl and went into the kitchen.

Lin Su was a beat behind and didn't follow, so she had to stay and entertain the guest. However, it was convenient that the guest didn't say anything.

Sheng Qiming glanced at her, gave a heavy snort, and Lin Su pursed her lips and walked away.

She went into the study and didn't intend to come out again, but no sooner had she gone in than he followed her in and closed the door.

"You..." Lin Su tried to open the door but he held her hand down. Sheng Qiming pressed her behind the door and said, "Anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow, so I'm not afraid of being discovered."

Lin Su opened her eyes wide. She wanted to speak, but he covered her mouth. Sheng Qiming whispered in her ear, "Don't talk. You're just saying hurtful things."

"Listen to me."

"..."

After Sheng Qiming finished speaking, he suddenly stopped mid-sentence. Countless emotions flashed across his face, but in the end, he was filled with inner turmoil.

"Wife?" Zong Yan's puzzled voice suddenly came from outside.

Sheng Qiming immediately panicked. He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I admit I do like you a little... but don't get cocky, just a little."

"..." Lin Su could only blink gently as he covered her mouth.

Sheng Qiming released her mouth, lowered his head expectantly, and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"Zongyan, I'm in the study!" Lin Su pushed him aside and called out loudly.

Sheng Qiming took a step back and stood there, stunned. Lin Su had already opened the study door and gone out. The open study door allowed Zong Yan to see him at a glance.

"What are you doing in the study?" The door was still closed, and it took several calls to get a response. A hint of suspicion flashed in Zong Yan's eyes.

"He followed me in," Lin Su whispered.

Zong Yan glanced at Sheng Qiming, who was still standing dumbfounded in the study. He walked in and waved in front of him. "What are you doing?"

Sheng Qiming snapped out of his daze, and tears streamed down his delicate and handsome face.

He was heartbroken when his first confession of love was rejected.

Zong Yan was stunned for a moment. Although Sheng Qiming had been a crybaby since childhood, he would only cry loudly when he was drunk. This was the first time he had suddenly cried so loudly in a sober state.

"What's wrong?" Zong Yan's voice softened; after all, they were good brothers for many years.

"Waaaaah..." Sheng Qiming cried his heart out.

"Don't cry, tell me what's wrong and I'll help you solve it," Zong Yan said.

Sheng Qiming's sobs faltered, and he choked out, "Then I don't want to go abroad for further studies. Can you let me not go?"

"..."

Zong Yan patted him on the shoulder and sneered, "So you were waiting for me here?"

"No, I'm really heartbroken." Sheng Qiming looked past him at the woman at the door, who seemed to regret rejecting him.

Sheng Qiming's tears streamed down his face. As if he had been specially trained, he didn't break down in expression even when he was crying so miserably, and he could still speak normally.

That's right, he did study crying scenes. When he was a child, in order to avoid being beaten, he would always use tears to get away with it, and it never failed him.

"Then what made you sad?" Zong Yan thought it wouldn't be because of such a small thing. If he didn't want to cry a few times, his father would soften his heart.

"I was just... rejected," Sheng Qiming said, wiping away his tears.

"What?" Zong Yan didn't understand. "Who rejected you?"

Sheng Qiming looked up at the door, and Zong Yan subconsciously followed his gaze and saw Lin Su standing at the door, looking somewhat helpless.

He seemed to have started crying just now after following Lin Su into the study, but how could Lin Su have made him cry?

Zong Yan kicked Sheng Qiming in the leg. "Stop stammering and explain yourself."

Even crying didn't save Sheng Qiming from being beaten. He said dejectedly, "It's nothing, I don't want to talk about it anymore."

Zong Yan narrowed his eyes, but didn't press him further. "Fine, don't tell me then. Go home."

As Sheng Qiming left the study and passed Lin Su at the door, he shed a few more tears, lowered his head, and walked away dejectedly.

Zong Yan closed the door, turned around, and asked directly, "What did he do in the study with you? What did you talk about?"

Lin Su pursed her lips, unsure whether to tell the truth. As she hesitated, Zong Yan walked up to her, pinched her chin, and made her raise her head.

"Did he speak ill of you to your face?" Zong Yan's eyes were dark. "Tell me the truth."

Lin Su: "He didn't, he..."

"What about him?"

He said he likes me.

"...What?" Zong Yan was stunned, completely unexpected. He asked in disbelief, "He cried because he was rejected after confessing his feelings to you?"

"I don't know." Lin Su looked up at him. "I think he's joking with me, it's not true."

Zong Yan also doubted it was true. Was this Sheng Qiming's new way of breaking them up, given his obsession with good looks? After all, he had always wanted them to break up.

"He's really sick," Zong Yan cursed. "He can come up with all sorts of lousy tricks."

Lin Su blinked and nodded silently.

Zong Yan leaned down and kissed her. "Don't worry about him. You stay home. I'll go over and ask him."

Lin Su stopped him, "What else do you want to ask?"

"Just asking." Zong Yan turned back and patted her head, because he felt that Sheng Qiming's tears just now were very real, not fake crying.

On his way out of the residential compound, Zong Yan caught up with the man who was still looking dejected. He called out, "Sheng Qiming!"
