Peaceful Farm Life-Chapter 1931 - 1932: He Never Gets the Good Stuff

"It’s for no particular reason, just go on painting your bamboo."

"Oh." Seeing that An Yiqing didn’t seem very happy, Gong Le obediently picked up the brush again and started painting her bamboo, following An Yiqing’s example.

At this moment, An Yiqi and the others also found their way to the study.

Seeing that An Yiqing was ignoring them, they exchanged glances at first, then An Yilin and An Yizhi unanimously decided to dump their brother in it and pushed An Yiqi forward together.

An Yiqi didn’t expect An Yilin and An Yizhi to push him, causing him to stumble a few steps before he managed to stop steadily in front of An Yiqing’s desk. Once he steadied himself, he forced a dry laugh at An Yiqing, who was no longer painting bamboo but instead looking at him.

"Hehe... About that... Third Brother, we were calling you so loudly just now. Why didn’t you respond? We thought you weren’t here. Hehe... hehe..." An Yiqi kept up the forced laughter while secretly glaring at An Yilin and An Yizhi, standing several steps behind him.

These two were really good brothers of his.

When it’s something good, he’s never the first to know, but for the bad things, he’s pushed to the front!

Gong Le also put down her brush and glanced at the expressionless An Yiqing. She didn’t dare say anything, so she kept quiet, happily blinking at An Yiqi and his brothers as if delighted they had returned.

An Yiqi, An Yilin, An Yizhi: "..." Stop blinking at us so happily, or we’ll think you’re taking delight in our misfortune!

Gong Le had no clue about what An Yiqi and the others were thinking and continued blinking to express her happiness.

An Yiqi and the others: "..." We feel so guilty for being mad at you before we came back...

Seeing his three younger brothers lowering their heads and looking guilty, An Yiqing first hummed softly, then continued painting his bamboo while coolly saying, "Decided to come back, have you?"

"Hehehe..." The three just kept up their dry laughter. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

"How old are you now?"

Though they didn’t understand why their third brother suddenly asked this, they quickly and honestly replied, "Already turned fifteen."

Gong Le joyfully answered, "I have a bit over a month until I turn fifteen."

An Yiqing immediately gave Gong Le a sidelong glance, conveying a clear warning not to speak. Gong Le quickly covered her mouth and shook her head at An Yiqing to indicate she wouldn’t speak.

Only then did An Yiqing shift his gaze away, continuing to paint his bamboo as he calmly said, "You’re all fifteen, considered adults now. Your third brother can’t manage you anymore."

"Third Brother, don’t be like that, we were wrong..." An Yiqi, An Yilin, and An Yizhi were almost crying. Their third brother seemed terrifying now, his calm tone extreme frightening to them.

They genuinely felt they were about to be severely lectured.

Yet An Yiqing still didn’t look at them, continuing to paint his bamboo, but with a mild laugh, he asked, "What are you wrong about?"

The three promptly said, "We shouldn’t have given Lele bad ideas!"

"Is that all?" Finally, An Yiqing looked at them, smiling particularly brightly.

Instantly, the three were so scared that their hearts pounded, but they still argued, "What else is there? Besides giving Lele some bad ideas, we haven’t done anything else."

Gong Le, who was covering her mouth, couldn’t hold it anymore. She took her hand away from her mouth—
