Zhou Zezhi looked at Ji Ruoyun, who was smiling, with some surprise. She had thought Ji Ruoyun was Qin Yunmo's sister.
But Mom's is so big, how come Qin Yunmo's Heisei is like that?
Like his father?
"Brother Lin Qiu, why don't you invite my sisters and the others to sit down and have a chat?"
Listening to their conversation, Chie suddenly realized something and quickly invited them to join in.
"Xiao Xuan, come sit down with us. My sister seems to like you guys."
"Won't this be too much of a disturbance?"
"It's okay, come on over."
Lin Qiu got up and sat down next to Qian Hui, leaving the other side empty for Qin Xuan and Ji Ruoyun.
Qin Xuan and Ji Ruoyun looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down in front of them in a serious manner.
Lin Qiu didn't think much of it when Qin Xuan sat down at first, but he became inexplicably nervous when Ji Ruoyun also sat down.
What's with this oppressive and serious atmosphere?
Why does it suddenly feel like a blind date? Is it just my imagination?
Just as he was struggling to find the right words, Chie broke the ice with a cute and adorable greeting—
"Hello, sister, I'm Lin Qianhui. Sorry to bother you."
"You children are so well-behaved. It's us who disturbed you."
Hearing the little guy call her "sister," Ji Ruoyun's smile deepened. This little guy was really lovable.
"No, no, I didn't expect Brother Lin Qiu to know such a beautiful lady. Our family thought Brother Lin Qiu wasn't very popular."
Qianhui chatted with Ji Ruoyun quite skillfully, and Lin Qiu was stunned by her mature demeanor.
It's so great to have a capable younger sister!
"I think your brother is quite a good guy, how come he's not popular?"
"Lin Qiu is always a homebody and doesn't go out much. He doesn't take the initiative to make friends, so over the years he hasn't had anyone he can talk to, which has led people to think he has a gloomy personality."
"Eh—is that so?"
Ji Ruoyun smiled as she looked at Lin Qiu, who was sitting somewhat restless beside her. He did indeed look as handsome and clean as Xiao Xuan had described, and the two siblings looked very alike.
Moreover, he has long eyelashes and beautiful eyes, which he probably inherited from his mother.
"I don't think so. Your brother is just as good-looking as you, so he should be very popular with girls. Has he never had a girlfriend or anything?"
The main event is coming!
Glancing at his mother, who was gradually getting to the point, Qin Xuan chewed on his little spoon while eavesdropping intently.
But her gaze was mostly fixed on Sawaori in front of her.
Is this guy really just a classmate of Lin Qiu?
Something seems off!
Hearing Ji Ruoyun's question, Qianhui immediately perked up, glanced at Lin Qiu, and sighed with a mature air.
"No, let alone a girlfriend, my brother Lin Qiu doesn't even have the contact information of other girls besides me and my mother. My parents are quite worried about this."
Ze Zhi, who had been listening quietly to the side, raised an eyebrow. Was Lin Qiu really like that?
Could it be that he likes men?
027 - More money needed
"Big sister—where are you? Answer me if you hear me!"
The listless shouts drifted around, and Qin Dan wandered aimlessly along the road, occasionally glancing at the snacks in the hands of the tourists around her.
At this moment, I should be enjoying my shaved ice, so why did it turn out like this?
"Honestly, where did my older sister go at this time?"
Muttering unhappily, Qin Dan now had a strong urge to run back and not look for him anymore.
What if we get back too late and the shaved ice has melted or Ah Xuan has stolen it?
What she didn't know was that Qin Yunmo was hiding not far behind her, his eyes darting around as he stared at his sister's back.
If she saw that I had left the figurine at the lost and found right now, she would definitely explode in anger immediately!
After Qin Dan finally managed to wander off, Qin Yunmo squeezed out of the crowd, lowered his head, and silently continued walking into the distance.
Before she could take a few steps away, a small hand suddenly grabbed the hem of her clothes, causing her to freeze in place.
"Big sister—where are you planning to run off to?"
Qin Yunmo turned around somewhat mechanically, only to find Qin Dan reappearing behind him as if in a flash, his gaze fixed intently on him.
"You...why did you come out?"
"They saw you suddenly slip away, so they sent me out to scout. Where are you planning to go?"
Qin Dan stared intently at her eldest sister, especially at the backpack behind her, which contained all of her precious treasures!
"Just wandering around."
Qin Yunmo gave a vague and perfunctory reply, subtly taking a step back, trying to break free from Qin Dan's grasp.
But it was only at this moment that Qin Dan could unleash her tenacious skills to the fullest. Seeing that her older sister was showing signs of escaping, she would pounce on her and hug her slender waist, refusing to let go.
"Come back with me quickly, Mom has already found someone for you, you have to go and see him no matter what!"
"I've already told you, I'm only in high school. My parents are overly anxious!"
"Big sister, it's really too difficult for you to get married. Just the title of city Sanda champion is enough to scare away a lot of people. Mom and Dad are also taking precautions to drag someone who doesn't know the truth into this mess as soon as possible!"
Qin Dan's shouting drew surprised glances from passersby.
Especially after hearing the title of Sanda champion, their eyes showed some fear.
Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, Qin Yunmo's forehead veins bulged slightly. He quickly covered the girl's mouth, silencing her from continuing to shout.
"Don't talk nonsense! I just don't want to be tied down so early!"
"Then give me back the figure, and I promise I'll be on your side!"
"Then I think we should go back and take a look."
"..."
Are you absolutely determined to steal my figurine?!
Qin Dan stared at her own elder sister with dead fish eyes, wondering what kind of hatred or grudge could lead her to be so heartless.
Seeing Qin Dan's pitiful appearance, on the verge of tears, even Qin Yunmo couldn't help but sigh and soften.
Under her expectant gaze, Qin Yunmo touched his pocket and took out his wallet, which made Qin Dan's face freeze for a moment.
As several large bills were shoved into her hand, Qin Dan was completely taken aback.
What do you mean by this? Are you trying to bribe me?! On matters of principle like this, I'm not so easily fooled...
Seeing Qin Dan standing there dumbfounded, Qin Yunmo assumed she thought it wasn't enough and simply stuffed all the banknotes inside into her hand.
"Big sister, please don't do this..."
"Fine, here's your wallet. It contains my bank card, and the PIN is my birthday. As long as you don't use it all up, you can use it whenever you want."
"..."
Qin Dan's defenses crumbled instantly, and she silently accepted her older sister's wallet before letting go of her hand.
My older sister has already sacrificed so much, it wouldn't be right for me to pursue this further. Seven figurines are nothing compared to my older sister's bank card.
The eldest sister is still young, and she will still be popular even if she stays single for another ten years or so. Maybe she will be even more popular after a second growth spurt!
"Well, then you go ahead and do your work, I'll go back and deal with Mom and Ah Xuan for you."
"please."
After watching Qin Dan run away, Qin Yunmo finally felt relieved and left the spot with his bag on his back.
However, to prevent being followed again, she deliberately lingered in the vicinity several times until she was sure that she was not being followed before heading to the lost and found.
Meanwhile, Qin Dan, after returning to the shaved ice shop, stared blankly at the group of people already sitting together, momentarily at a loss for words.
I was only gone for a short while, and you've already arranged blind dates?!
"Xiao Xuan is back! Where's your older sister?"
"My older sister has an urgent matter to attend to and will be leaving for a while. She won't be back for the time being."
Qin Dan rambled on in a serious manner, then sat down next to Qin Xuan.
Before she could say anything, Qin Xuan immediately found her hidden wallet and asked in a low voice—
"How much did you receive as a bribe? It's split 50/50. I promise I won't tell Mom."
"The older sister gave me her whole wallet, a thousand yuan in bills and a bank card, what a steal!"
"bank card?"
Qin Xuan was taken aback upon hearing this, and for a moment his gaze toward Qin Dan became somewhat subtle.
My dearest sister, have you forgotten that your older sister has two bank cards? One is a salary savings card, and the other is a game purchase card. What you received should be...
"How about this, I'll take the loss. You give me all the banknotes, and you can keep everything in the bank card, okay?"
"real?!"
"Would I lie to you?"
Just as the two little ones were secretly discussing things, Ji Ruoyun smiled apologetically at Lin Qiu and the others.
It's a bit awkward that the leading lady ran away today. I'll have to give her a good talking-to when we get back!
"I'm sorry, my Yunmo is usually a bit busy."
"It's alright, it's alright. We shouldn't bother her too much."
Chie shook her head understandingly, noticing Lin Qiu secretly nudging her under the table, and quickly spoke up—
"Sister, my brother has a themed store to visit. Let him go first, and I'll continue chatting with you for a while."
"Go ahead, we'll take care of Chie here."
"A themed store? Is it an anime-themed store?"
Upon hearing the noise, Qin Dan immediately raised her head. "If you're going to talk about this, I won't be sleepy anymore!"
Zezhi, who was standing next to her, also looked over excitedly. She felt a little uncomfortable watching this matchmaking event and thought it would be better to get out of this predicament as soon as possible!
"Yes, there's a small event over there that I'm planning to attend. Want to come along?"
"I go!"
"I am coming too!"
After watching the three of them leave the shaved ice shop in a hurry, Ji Ruoyun's expression changed, and she quickly asked Qianhui—
"Is that girl and your brother really just classmates?"
028 - Consensus Reached
"Ha—the pressure is too much."
Not long after leaving the shaved ice shop, Lin Qiu sighed dejectedly.
The terrifying pressure he had just faced from Ji Ruoyun vanished completely in that instant.
"I think Yunmo's mother is quite satisfied with you. This is a rare opportunity. Work hard, and maybe you'll win her heart. This is the dream of every boy in the school."
After coming out, Zezhi felt much more relaxed and even started making jokes.
Judging from Ji Ruoyun's gaze just now, she was definitely looking at her son-in-law like a mother-in-law, and she was clearly very satisfied with Lin Qiu.
"Don't make fun of me. If I hadn't brought Chie along, I wouldn't know how to handle this."
