Extra Chapter: Huo Huai Sui: That's too tragic.

The outdoor barbecue was Xie Qingxi's idea on a whim.

My older brother is a repressed romantic; he only knows how to have feelings but doesn't know how to act on them. If he doesn't help him out, his brother will really be single for life.

It was almost six o'clock, and Xie Qingxi reluctantly gave up her cup and called someone to prepare the things needed for the outdoor barbecue.

Time was tight, and Xie Qingxi was busy with everything, going to great lengths to help her brother find a partner.

As the second brother, Xie Qinglan couldn't just stand by and watch, so he helped snatch Xie Qingxi's precious cup from Huo Huaisui's hands.

Huo Huai Sui clenched his fists, "I'm angry!"

"What's there to be angry about?" Xie Qinglan said lightly. "Isn't it the truth?"

"..." Facts my ass.

She's not flat-chested, she's got a B cup!

Not only did they not help her, but they also made sarcastic remarks. Huo Huai Sui was even angrier. "Xie Qing Lan, whose side are you on?"

Xie Qinglan: "The embodiment of justice, I don't take sides."

Huo Huai Sui was so angry that his cheeks puffed out.

Xie Qinglan pulled her into her arms and pinched her cheek. "I like it, that's all that matters."

Huo Huai Sui's puffed-out cheeks deflated a little. "So if your older brother likes her, why did he let go?"

Xie Qinglan laughed, "I'll say it a hundred times: Brother Qinglan is the most handsome man in the universe."

Huo Huai Sui turned her head away and ignored him.

This guy probably doesn't know anything at all and is just making it mysterious to trick her into praising him.

She wouldn't fall for it.

Fearing she would be forced to sleep in the study that night, Xie Qinglan didn't dare tease her anymore. She leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words.

Huo Huaisui was stunned.

After a long pause, he finally muttered, "That's terrible."

-

Upon seeing Zhang Qin and Xie Qingtang arrive together, the men in the courtyard all simultaneously revealed meaningful expressions.

"Hey! You bastard Zhang Qin, take this punch!" Huo Huai Sui clenched his fist and pounced on him.

Zhang Qin reacted quickly and hid behind Xie Qingtang.

"Come out!" Huo Huai Sui grabbed her.

Zhang Qin: "No!"

The two of them chased and dodged Xie Qingtang, acting incredibly childish.

Xie Qingxi was overjoyed, "Good, good, good."

He used to worry that his brother would marry a sister-in-law with a rigid personality or a bad temper, and that they wouldn't get along, which would affect their relationship. Now it seems that if it were Zhang Qin, he wouldn't have to worry about this problem.

Xie Qingtang called out, "Qinglan."

"Ahem." Xie Qinglan stopped watching the show and went over to pull Huo Huaisui away.

Huo Huai Sui bared his teeth and claws, trying to charge forward, "Don't pull me back, I want to fight this woman to the death."

Xie Qinglan grabbed him, "What's the fun in talking to her? Come and fight me to the death."

Huo Huaisui, ptooey.

Huo Huai'an clicked his tongue, his face showing disbelief.

The people gathered around the barbecue grill were all men. Lu Fengqing was afraid that the smell of charcoal smoke would smudge her makeup and clothes, so she pulled Yu Xiangkui to sit under the other side of the shed, drinking flower tea and waiting for food.

As for the three children, Rui Rui studied with Xie Chaoyin to prepare for the Youth Computer Competition a month later, while Ji Xiaomeng and Yan Yan were taken to the amusement park by Ji Xueru and Xie Chaowan.

Zhang Qin walked to Lu Fengqing's side, pulled out a chair and sat down, then looked at the woman sitting on the other side, "And who is this?"

"Sister-in-law Sui Sui," Lu Fengqing introduced the two to each other.

Yu smiled shyly at Kui and said, "Hello."

"Hello." Zhang Qin paused, then couldn't help but say, "You look so well-behaved."

This naturally refers to Yu Xiangkui.

Lu Fengqing nodded, "I am not as beastly as you."

Yu Xiangkui: "?"

Zhang Qin was always competitive in front of Lu Fengqing, but she would occasionally be modest: "How can I compare to Miss Lu? She's worse than a beast."

After saying that, he ignored Lu Fengqing and turned to talk to Yu Xiangkui.

Zhang Qin has always enjoyed attending all kinds of gatherings. She is good at getting along with people and can be popular anywhere. When she first met Yu Xiangkui, they quickly hit it off.

Lu Fengqing listened to their conversation quietly for a while before asking Zhang Qin, "Didn't you say you weren't interested in my older brother anymore?"
