Before Li Qiao left, she said, “Blind in both eyes and heart.”
“Stupid girl…”
At home, her four older brothers had all gone back to work one after another. With the passing of Old Madam Liu, Liu Yusi’s mood wasn’t very good.
It was around this time that Li Qiao received a phone call from the Xiao family. She then brought Liu Yusi along to visit their home.
At a moment like this, perhaps only Xiao’s parents could comfort her own mother.
Of the six older brothers in the Xiao family, only Xiao Qingbei was home.
Ever since he sprained his ankle, he’d been recovering at home!
When Li Qiao arrived, Xiao Qingbei was watching a basketball game—it was the very match they had recorded earlier.
That fierce and powerful man on screen was actually—Jian Dan, the school heartthrob?
She remembered Jian Dan as being a very shy, thin, and seemingly weak guy, but on the court, he was like a completely different person.
Ferocious and dominant, like a sharp blade!
“I was being narrow-minded.”
Li Qiao murmured thoughtfully.
Xiao Qingbei chuckled: “Oh, my dear sister, our basketball team has always been full of hidden talents. Alright, that’s enough watching for today. You came at the perfect time; we were just about to go hiking.”
“…” Li Qiao glanced down at his ankle.
Xiao Qingbei whispered secretly, “Qiaoqiao, keep it a secret for me. I was pretending.”
“…”
Pretending?
Didn’t want to go to school?
Looking at Xiao Qingbei’s completely nonchalant expression, she was momentarily at a loss for words.
In the end, she accompanied Xiao Qingbei on the hike. After they reached their destination, she saw Jian Dan, and also a guy with glasses whom she’d met before on the basketball court. The other two people seemed to be Xiao Qingbei’s roommates.
After winning their match, they had been given three days off.
The group of six went up the mountain for camping.
In the mountains.
Two men were busy setting up tents.
Meanwhile, two young women were organizing the food on the side.
Tian Mi stole a glance at Lin Chuan, who was putting up a tent.
“Xin Yue, is he really your cousin? Why don’t you two look alike at all?” Tian Mi moved closer, appearing very interested in Lin Chuan.
She kept asking about Lin Chuan, and Li Xin Yue didn’t hide anything. Lin Chuan was her aunt’s child, but not born to her. Her aunt had married a man who was divorced, and Lin Chuan was actually the son of her uncle (the aunt’s husband) and his first wife.
Since marrying into the Lin family years ago, her aunt hadn’t been able to have children, so she treated Lin Chuan as her own son.
That’s why Li Xin Yue and Lin Chuan had always been close since they were young.
Tian Mi suddenly understood: “Oh, so that’s how it is…”
As the two chatted, they noticed Gu Yu hadn’t come back yet, so Li Xin Yue went out to look for him.
When she arrived by a small stream, she was suddenly pulled into Gu Yu’s arms: “With such a beautiful view, we shouldn’t waste it.”
“Let go of me quickly…”
“No, I want you.”
Gu Yu said in a low voice.
The next moment, they both fell into the small stream, the temperature between them gradually heating up.
Behind a tree, Lin Chuan’s face was ashen with rage.
He turned away furiously.
On his way back, he saw Tian Mi.
“Lin Chuan…”
Without a word, Lin Chuan stepped forward and embraced Tian Mi. She struggled at first, but Lin Chuan said, “Isn’t it true you like me? If you like me, then be good.”
Hearing this, Tian Mi was overjoyed. She tightly wrapped her arms around Lin Chuan’s.
She liked Lin Chuan, had liked him from the very first moment she saw him.
She wanted to become Lin Chuan’s woman!
Lin Chuan looked at Tian Mi’s delicate, charming face, his own expression hardening.
When Tian Mi woke up again, she was on a patch of grass, and Lin Chuan was still right beside her. She leaned sweetly against his chest.
“We’re boyfriend and girlfriend now, right?” Tian Mi murmured, full of tenderness, nuzzling her head against Lin Chuan’s neck.
“What makes you think you’re qualified to be my girlfriend?” He pinched her chin, his eyes full of mockery.
He gave a cold snort: “Don’t think just because we slept together, it means anything between us! Let me tell you, I don’t like you.”
Hearing this, Tian Mi’s face turned deathly pale.
