"That won't do either, that's for your dowry."
Li Chaoge flatly rejected the idea of selling his parents' house to get married. Even if Xi'er and the others hadn't come, he would never have done that.
"..."
Li Qingge on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then continued, "Brother, isn't your birthday based on the lunar calendar? Why are you celebrating it on the Gregorian calendar this year?"
Her brother usually celebrates his birthday according to the lunar calendar, and that's how her family does too. If they didn't usually celebrate the lunar calendar, she wouldn't have left no celebration for her brother's birthday.
She's no longer the girl who could only be protected by her brother; now she can earn money herself.
"Well, we just occasionally celebrate the Gregorian calendar."
Li Chaoge explained with slight embarrassment that his family came from the countryside and they used to celebrate their birthdays according to the lunar calendar. However, his younger sister was now in university, and considering that she might come over, he decided to celebrate her birthday according to the Gregorian calendar, which is the birthday shown on her ID card.
Anyway, generally speaking, no matter what kind of store is having a birthday event, they will look at the birthday on the ID card, although no one at the hot pot restaurant asked for that when he went there this time.
"...Brother, you should really find a girlfriend."
Li Qingge paused for a moment, then continued.
Celebrating my birthday with a plush pillow...
She didn't want to say anything about her brother, she just hoped that someone would take care of him in the future.
"girlfriend......."
Li Chaoge looked at Exusiai, who was lying in front of him with a wicked grin. Li Chaoge pushed Exusiai's head, but it only made Exusiai's long, smooth hair hanging on his thighs sway slightly, and he couldn't make Exusiai let go at all.
"Anyway, Qingge, don't worry about your girlfriend. I'm still young."
Li Chaoge reached out and pressed down on Exusiai, who was up to her old tricks again, telling her to shut up and stop moving. He said seriously.
Let's not say he has a girlfriend, otherwise, which one should he say? The obedient and well-behaved Seele? The arrogant and domineering Black Seele? The energetic and lively Exusiai? The earnest and naive Lucia? The proud and sadistic Lilith?
He was a good brother in Qingge's heart, and she couldn't let her know that her brother was a philandering scumbag.
Chapter 35. The Beloved Doctor
"You're still young... Brother, you're still young, but if you don't find a girlfriend in college, it'll be harder to find one later."
Li Qingge denied her brother's statement. Although she had just entered university and had not fully entered society, she knew that with the internet so developed now, school was the easiest place to find a girlfriend.
"Last year, my parents wouldn't let me date while I was in school, but now that I'm about to graduate, they're letting me find someone."
Li Chaoge was speechless. He knew that this was not Qingge's own idea, but his parents' idea. They had just sent Qingge, who was on good terms with him, as an intermediary.
Sigh, Qingge used to be so obedient, quiet and beautiful, but now she's getting prettier and prettier, and she even looks a bit like her mother who likes to lecture her.
"It's only because I'm about to graduate that I need to start looking for a job~"
"No, no, my life is great right now."
"Brother~"
"Ahem, that's all for now. Qingge, let's talk again next time. I'm going to sleep now."
Hearing Qingge's sweet, coquettish voice, Li Chaoge couldn't help but shudder and glare fiercely at Exusiai, who was licking her lips and chuckling to herself.
This guy is so naughty! He's teasing him even now. Black Cici is trying to ambush him, and Exusiai is getting involved too. It's like they're taking turns bullying him!
"Huh?"
Li Qingge looked at the phone she had just hung up and had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Her brother dotes on her so much that he almost never hangs up on her, even if he's playing games. He only calls when she feels they've had enough and it's time for him to go to sleep.
"Looks like I'll have to find some time to go visit my brother."
Li Qingge thought about it for a moment. She would have to do a surprise check on her brother during the weekend.
Her brother went to celebrate his birthday alone with a pillow, how could she not worry?
She doesn't care about the money from live stream donations. Now that she can earn money herself, she can at least help her brother save some money. But if her brother has mental health issues, she has to be vigilant.
What if you can't stand being alone and find a strange woman outside, only to be scammed? Being scammed out of money is secondary; if you're scammed emotionally, that would be terrible.
She knows her brother well. He is a rather traditional man, a bit chauvinistic, and likes to take on many things on his own. But he also has a vulnerable side; once he falls in love, he becomes completely immersed in it and can't extricate himself.
If she chooses the right person, that's a good thing, but if she chooses the wrong person, she'll have to consider how to get her brother out of trouble.
"Qingge, I've finished showering. Were you on a WeChat call with your brother again just now?"
A petite girl walked out of the bathroom while drying her hair and looked at Li Qingge, who was standing on the balcony, with a puzzled expression.
"Okay, Zaozao, I'll go wash them right away."
Li Qingge put away her phone and smiled at the pretty and cute girl in front of her.
She had just started university and, unlike her brother, did not rent an apartment outside; she still lived in the school dormitory.
However, her roommates are all very nice. Although they come from many different countries and have different lifestyles, they are all accommodating to each other, so she probably won't be moving out anytime soon.
"Qingge, isn't your brother very handsome? I often see you talking about him, either on the phone or on WeChat."
The girl named Zaozao winked at Qingge and smiled.
During this period, they were in military training, and everyone was busy resting and watching TV series, except for Qingge, who often talked on the phone at night.
If they hadn't heard Qingge call Fang Ge "brother," they would have all thought that the quiet and pretty Qingge was the first in their dorm to find a boyfriend.
"I didn't realize Qingge was still so attached to her brother even though she's so old. Zaozao, is this... you know... you know...?"
Another short-haired girl in the dormitory, who was humming a song with headphones around her neck, heard their conversation and laughed.
However, she ran out of words after saying a couple of sentences and quickly looked at Zaozao, who was still drying her hair.
"Brother complex? You big jerk, if you don't understand idioms, don't make jokes."
Zaozao blinked.
"Yes! That's it! The brother complex!"
The short-haired girl nodded immediately, confirming.
"This isn't brother complex! Don't you have any siblings?"
Seeing that her roommates were actually teasing her about being a brother-obsessed girl, Li Qingge couldn't help but defend herself.
How can this be called brother-complex? It's just a younger sister's natural concern for her older brother.
"I'm an only child, just like you, Qingge, I don't have an older brother to love me!"
"Let's think about it another way. When you become Qingge's sister-in-law, you'll be loved by Qingge's brother."
"You should go, Zaozao. I'm afraid Qingge will get jealous!"
"If you want to be my sister-in-law, you'll all have to listen to me, okay? My brother dotes on me."
Seeing her roommates teasing her, Li Qingge blushed slightly, but still smiled.
"Uh..." Zaozao and the short-haired girl exchanged glances. They couldn't continue this conversation; they hadn't even seen a picture of Qingge.
At that moment, three girls pushed open the door and entered, carrying watermelons and a bunch of snacks.
"Dear family! Good evening, everyone! I've brought watermelons!"
"I'm exhausted!"
"You bought so many snacks again, aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"
The girl with headphones around her neck looked speechlessly at these guys who bought snacks every day.
"Brave Niu Niu isn't afraid of being fat!"
The blonde girl, carrying a watermelon, put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and said smugly.
With her voluptuous figure, the way she made this move caused a surge of waves.
After striking a pose, the blonde girl immediately called out to Li Qingge, who was still watching from the sidelines:
"Qingge, come and eat! We bought lots of food!"
"You guys eat first, I'm going to take a shower, otherwise there might not be any hot water left."
Li Qingge glanced at the group of people making a ruckus again, smiled and nodded, then turned to find clothes to take a bath.
Actually, Zaozao and the others' suggestion was not bad. If her brother couldn't find a girlfriend, she would introduce her roommate to him.
She just didn't know what type of girl her brother liked.
A tsundere with a touch of chuunibyou? A petite and adorable gamer? A serious and cool rock girl? A witty androgynous beauty with a constant stream of witty remarks? A lively and energetic optimist? Or... a dignified and elegant young lady from a prominent family?
. . . . . .
"This is such a headache..."
On the other side, Li Chaoge, who had just put down his phone, was also quite helpless.
He knows his younger sister very well. Because he is a few years older than her, he can be said to have watched her grow up.
Although Qingge is usually very obedient and well-behaved, she is actually quite stubborn and arrogant. When she has her own ideas, she won't listen to what others say.
It was during Qingge's rebellious phase that he successfully established his authority as her older brother by virtue of his own authority and the closeness of his peers. Otherwise, how could Qingge, who frequently attended tutoring and extracurricular classes and excelled academically and morally, and was well-rounded in both moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic, and practical aspects, have admired such an ordinary older brother?
His words used to carry more weight than Qingge's mother's.
But now things are complicated. Qingge is growing up and becoming more and more beautiful, and people are starting to want to control her.
Of course, the main problem is with his parents.
The difference between not allowing children to date and wanting them to get married and have grandchildren can often be as short as graduation. Parents' ideas are always so unique.
Fortunately, he will be graduating soon, and with financial independence, he won't be controlled by his family so much.
"Boss, was that your younger sister just now? She seemed like your older sister."
Exusiai licked her lips intermittently, lying on Li Chaoge's lap and casually said something to him.
"Uh...I guess so."
When asked about his relationship with Qingge, Li Chaoge hesitated for a moment.
What do you mean by "consider it?"
Exusiai wiped the corner of her mouth, climbed off Li Chaoge's lap, and looked at Li Chaoge with a strange expression.
"Because my dad and Qingge's mom haven't gotten their marriage certificate yet."
"Huh? You didn't get a marriage certificate?"
Exusiai blinked. What was going on? This was the first time she had ever heard of this.
"...My father divorced when I was very young, and he took me to work in a big city."
Li Chaoge pondered for a moment, then slowly explained.
"Qingge is the child of the neighbor on the same floor, only a few years younger than me."
"Back then, I had quite a few playmates around me. Many migrant workers brought their families to work in big cities. But you can tell from our names that Qingge and I are destined to meet. Qingge's house was closest to mine, and we were the closest. I would often leave the leftovers for Qingge to wash the dishes."
"Um?"
Upon hearing this, Exusiai couldn't help but scratch her head. Is this what you call a good relationship?
"Well, in short, Qingge and I still have a very good relationship."
Seeing the strange look in Exusiai's eyes, Li Chaoge couldn't help but cough softly.
He hadn't realized it before, but as he grew up, he discovered that he had the potential to be a capitalist when he was young, and that he had been exploiting child laborers since childhood.
However, he eventually abandoned his evil ways and chose to become a successor to socialism.
“In the past, we would take care of each other. Qingge’s mother was also divorced and was too busy with work to take care of her often. Seeing that Qingge and I got along well, she asked Qingge to play with me more and have meals at my house.”
Li Chaoge continued.
"However, what I didn't expect was that my dad and Qingge's mother hit it off."
Even now, so many people left without getting their marriage certificates.
As he spoke, Li Chaoge sighed. He could sense that both sides had the same idea. He and Qingge both had the keys to their respective houses, but they were probably worried about the consequences of doing so.
His father and Qingge's mother are both quite honest people. They are probably worried about the people back in their hometown. After all, the relationship between the relatives on both sides is a big problem after remarriage.
However, his relationship with Qingge has always been this good. Even though Qingge didn't become his biological sister, she was his childhood sweetheart who grew up with him. Moreover, their names are very similar, so it doesn't feel awkward at all for them to call each other brother and sister.
"Really not their biological child? Then you two have a really good relationship."
