Chapter 1325: Chapter 1197: First Encounter

Qu Shengmei glanced nervously at Ping’an beside her. It had been several days, and she still felt like she was in a dream.

Did she really conquer this fortress?

"What are you thinking? Be careful." Ping’an pulled her aside to avoid hitting a passerby. "Don’t like operas? How about we switch to a movie?"

"No, no, I really like it." Qu Shengmei said while hurriedly shaking her head, worried he wouldn’t believe her, and hesitantly asked, "Is it okay not to bring Liu Yi and May 1st?"

"They have their own plans." Ping’an glanced outside and then looked at her, "Do you want to buy some snacks?"

"Huh? No need."

Hearing her refusal, Ping’an wasn’t bothered. After all, they’re not in a cinema. If she accepted, he’d have to consider if this girl was suitable for him.

For now, she seemed good. First, being thoughtful of her two younger brothers. Second, not disliking opera. Third, she was obedient.

Ping’an looked at Qu Shengmei’s blushing face, stretched out his arm to block incoming people, and wondered to himself if he should invite her for Western food after the opera.

According to May 1st, girls like these things, but maybe he shouldn’t listen to his silly younger brother who hasn’t learned it yet. What does he know?

Or maybe listen to Liu Yi, get the girl drunk to extract some heartfelt words. But what if this girl, who never likes drinking, gets drunk and misbehaves?

Hiding in the distance, Liu Yi and May 1st had no idea what was on their elder brother’s mind at this moment. Watching the two enter, the brothers looked at each other and snickered secretly.

"Where should we go?"

Liu Yi nodded his head, "Go back."

May 1st gave him a meaningful look, "Alright. I think I’ll go back and keep mom company."

"What are you thinking?" Liu Yi shot him a sidelong glance, hands in his pockets, and left first.

May 1st stretched out an arm to hook around his shoulder and muttered as they walked, "Little brother, this is what it means to be in love. It’s really boring. It’s not as fun as us three brothers playing together."

"Hmm."

"Did you see Sister Sheng Mei? Our big brother guessed it right. She’s shy and reserved, not at all like she used to be. Will she always be like this?"

"That’s a girl’s shyness."

"Tch~ why wasn’t she shy before? Did you notice? That girl even put on lipstick, Asure too much, wanting to lure my brother."

Liu Yi rolled his eyes silently, deciding not to speak. This silly brother was still young. He forgot he’s only born less than half an hour earlier.

"I don’t like that. Not generous enough."

"Doesn’t matter, she’s not your girlfriend."

"But she took away my brother."

"..."

"You don’t like her either, right? Why get married? No matter how good Sister Sheng Mei is, as long as she becomes my sister-in-law, I won’t like her."

"Then why don’t you tell big brother?"

"Sigh... But he likes her." May 1st looked to him with a face of distress, "You wouldn’t leave me to hang out with Little Tangtang, would you?"

This jealous younger brother is not to be trifled with. Liu Yi shook his head decisively and quickened his pace.

May 1st smiled, following closely, "Little brother, I won’t marry later, you two have more kids and give me one. I still don’t like spending money on others."

"Alright." Liu Yi agreed immediately, not mentioning family planning allowing only one child, just to see if you’d get a slap in the face in the future.

The brothers got on the bus this time, and May 1st didn’t complain about giving up the motorcycle ride for their brother and squeezing into the bus to smell the stench.

But your tense face would be better if it wasn’t.

Liu Yi made way, allowing an old lady to sit in front, eyes sidelong at the young man attempting to grab the seat: Try it? I’m not in a good mood either!

—No one likes to send their older brother into the tiger’s mouth.

The opponent chickened out, and Liu Yi sighed inwardly. His immaturity was surely influenced by his silly brother. Who’s the tiger, it’s still uncertain.

However, he had disdain for the Qiu Family Army, whose sister was taken away by his brother and they were still grinning like fools. If it were his sister, he’d beat her first.

There were many people on the bus, and Liu Yi wasn’t going to bring up these topics with his brother. The brothers tacitly ignored the conversation.

Wobbly, they finally reached the terminus and sighed in relief as they quickly got off.

So why take the bus?

All the way, the passengers came and went up and down, risking bumping into familiar aunties, who warmly grabbed and questioned them non-stop.

"Is it just you two today, where’s the eldest? Next is always have you grown so tall, got any partners yet? Want the auntie to introduce you?"

Some are eager to thrust their distant nieces onto them.

May 1st smiled and waved at them, pulling Liu Yi to take the side path.

There are wonderful things about taking side paths.

Fewer people, quieter.

"...why don’t you just die? Get out, get out of my house, that’s my house. Shameless, a country bumpkin dares to enter my house."

"Finally dropped the act? Tsk tsk, I’d love to let Young Master Zhou see your true colors."

"Get out, you’re not worthy to mention him."

"Heh~ like you are worthy? May 1st brother~ my god, it makes me want to puke. Even a country bumpkin like me knows to have some face. You’re just like your mother..."

Just about to avoid suspicion, May 1st immediately stopped when he heard his name mentioned. Pulling Liu Yi, they looked at each other and quietly scrambled up the tree.

In the distance, a girl in a white dress was having her raised hand held by someone in a floral shirt.

Liu Yi nodded his head towards the other tree where May 1st was: See that? Your admirer.

May 1st rolled his eyes at him, eyes looking that way.

"...want to hit me again? What’s the excuse this time? Your money’s gone, or your golden chain’s gone, or your cold cream’s gone?"

"Ah, I’ll beat you to death, you bastard! Go die..."

May 1st was dumbfounded watching the two sisters suddenly rolling and fighting on the ground: Start fighting over a disagreement?

The commotion wasn’t just heard by the brothers. Although the sisters were deep in the grove, their noise got noticed by others.

Soon, two boys in their twenties rushed inside, pulling them apart.

One boy scolded loudly, "Hey, don’t you know gratitude? If it wasn’t for Xiao Ya’s dad adopting you, would you still stay in her house..."

"Why say it, she’s just an ingrate." Another boy supported the girl in the white dress, "Xiao Ya, where did she hit you?"

"Brother Chengzi, you guys don’t say that about Little Jiu, I’m just angry she took my study abroad spot, said a few words, and then she, she..."

"Oh! Bold enough, I remember this girl could study in Beijing because your dad signed her up, right? This time not stealing your money, switched to open snatching!"
