Chapter 478: Chapter 328: Entanglement/Aesthetics (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_4

"She won’t, don’t worry," Zhao Qiliang sighed, "The two of you siblings, you both underrate each other a bit. This is a common mistake among many relatives."

Let go of the idea you’ve always had of each other, and if you observe carefully, you’ll find that the other person isn’t as foolish as you imagined. I might not be saying this in a kind way, but I’m being sincere for your own good. If you believe me, just try it out, and the outcome will definitely surprise you."

Luo Hongqi stared at him intently, "Have you said the same thing to Xiaoqiong?"

"No," Zhao Qiliang shook his head, "I wanted to tell her, but I didn’t say it."

"So you can’t say it to her, but you can to me? Are you afraid of her?"

Zhao Qiliang looked at Luo Hongqi somewhat surprised, then laughed, "Uncle, if anyone says you’re too blunt, I’ll argue with them. You’re not, you just don’t bother to think more. In fact, if you’re willing to use your brain, you’re definitely not dumber than anyone else."

"Are you complimenting me?"

"Of course."

The door opened, and Luo Xiaoqiong and Zhang Erniu walked in. First, Luo Xiaoqiong glanced carefully at her brother’s expression before saying, "What are you two talking about, so lively?"

"How can I tell you about a conversation between men." Zhao Qiliang said with a smile as he stood up, "You siblings chat, I’ll go to the canteen to get food. Uncle must be hungry; I heard his stomach rumbling just now."

"Get a serving for Erniu too."

"Got it."

"No need, no need..." Zhang Erniu waved her hands repeatedly, "I can go eat at the canteen later myself."

"After taking care of my brother for so long, treating you to the canteen is letting him off too easily," Luo Xiaoqiong said, looking at her brother, "Brother, you’re buying lunch today, remember to give the meal ticket back to Zhao Qiliang later."

"If I’m treating, then I’m treating." Luo Hongqi glanced at his sister, "Not yet married, and already thinking of scooping money into your fiancé’s pockets, you sure are something."

"Brother, I’m giving you the opportunity, and you don’t even realize it. After Erniu has taken such good care of you for so long, don’t you think you should thank her? If you invited Erniu alone, would she feel comfortable eating?"

Luo Hongqi scratched his head in embarrassment, "I was wrong."

"Now you realize you’re wrong? You got hurt and didn’t tell me, wanted to keep it from me forever, Brother, don’t you really consider me as your sister?"

"It’s not like that, you’re so busy, I didn’t want to affect your work," Luo Hongqi said earnestly to his sister, "You’re more successful than your brother, how can I let myself hold you back? Ah, I’m such a disappointment, no wonder our parents don’t like me."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Luo Xiaoqiong glared at him, "Look at you, at first, you thought it’s only right for family to do anything for you, now, you feel embarrassed for anything family does for you. Can’t you just be normal?"

Zhang Erniu quickly interjected, "Xiaoqiong, don’t be angry, your brother is just concerned about you, he said that to show respect for your parents. Don’t be mad at him, he’s still sick."

"Alright, for his sake since he’s sick, I’ll forgive him," Luo Xiaoqiong sighed heavily, "Erniu, if only I could have a sister-in-law like you, I’d be relieved. My foolish brother, if he ended up with someone with a wicked heart, she could really sell him out!"

"I’m going to check the canteen, one person can’t carry food for four, you guys keep talking," Zhang Erniu said, and then ran out as if escaping.

"Xiaoqiong, look what you’ve done, you’ve made her feel uncomfortable, haven’t you?" Luo Hongqi glared at his sister, "You’re an adult, remember to be careful with your words in the future, don’t make it awkward for others."

Luo Xiaoqiong appraised Luo Hongqi’s expression, "Brother, do you like Zhang Erniu?"

Luo Hongqi was slightly startled and quickly shook his head, "No."

"Really not?"

After a pause, Luo Hongqi shook his head again, "No."

"Are you sure?" Luo Xiaoqiong glanced at him sideways, "Brother, you’ll have to bear the consequences of lying yourself."

"What consequences?"

"Zhang Erniu’s family wants her to find a husband’s family sooner rather than later, and she, too, wants to settle down a bit earlier. If Brother isn’t interested, I can’t delay her."

Luo Hongqi was confused, "How are you delaying her?"

"I thought Brother liked her, so I deliberately prodded her for information. She has a pretty good impression of you, and I, in turn, told her that you also had a pretty good impression of her. It seems now that I was mistaken."

"How do you know I like her? Didn’t you just find out about my injury today, the first time you came?"

"Oh, speaking the truth now?" Luo Xiaoqiong laughed, "You really can’t take a bluff."

"Could she really fall for someone like me?" Rarely, Luo Hongqi didn’t blame his sister; instead, he asked awkwardly, "Xiaoqiong, do you think she could really fall for me?"

"Brother, I wouldn’t lie about this kind of thing, and I won’t hide it from you. It was Zhao Qiliang who noticed that you had a bit of a crush on her. I went ahead and sounded her out. The kind of man she’s looking for is probably exactly like Brother.

I used to share a dorm room with her and we got along quite well. I can vouch for her character to Brother, but you also have to assure me that you genuinely like her and will treat her well. Moreover, you have to promise that you won’t have anything more to do with Zhong Hongying, then I’ll help you two get together."

"Mhm."

"What does ’mhm’ mean?"

"It means what you said."

"Alright then." Luo Xiaoqiong shifted from being troubled to curious, "Brother, can you tell me what aspects you like about Zhang Erniu? That way, it’ll be easier for me to talk to her."

After some hemming and hawing, Luo Hongqi said, "I like her looks, and I like her temperament too."

Luo Xiaoqiong compared Zhong Hongying and Zhang Erniu in her mind, and her final conclusion was: her brother likes those whose skin glows with a reddish hue beneath a dark complexion. Apart from this, the two had nothing else in common.

"Brother, do you think Chuxia is pretty or is Zhang Erniu pretty?" Luo Xiaoqiong had always been quite troubled that her brother did not find Chuxia attractive, not that she wanted Chuxia to marry her brother, but she truly doubted her brother’s aesthetic taste. Although the answer seemed obvious, hearing it from her brother’s own mouth was still somewhat unsettling for her.

Without a second thought, Luo Hongqi said, "Of course, Zhang Erniu is prettier."

As expected...

Luo Xiaoqiong was left thunderstruck by her brother, mouth agape, unable to utter a single word...

With a serious expression, Luo Hongqi looked at his sister and emphasized again, "I know most people think Chuxia is pretty, but I just think Zhang Erniu is prettier."

Just as Zhang Erniu entered the room, her face instantly turned bright red...(To be continued. If you like this work, we welcome you to give us a recommendation vote or a monthly vote at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
