Extra Chapter: Xie Qinglan: Do you think he likes it or not?

Huo Huai Sui is just not smart, not brainless.

She did not agree to Zhang Qin's request.

“You can give it to him yourself,” Huo Huaisui said. “I’ll ask him when he’ll be out.”

As he spoke, Huo Huaisui took out his phone and sent a message to Xie Qingxi.

Xie Qingxi is still pursuing his doctorate and is someone who spends a lot of time in the research lab every now and then. However, he is not as busy as some of his older brothers, but he also doesn't live on WeChat like Huo Huaisui.

He saw Huo Huaisui's message in the evening.

Xie Qingxi muttered, "Why did Second Sister-in-law suddenly ask this?"

[Xie Qingxi: I don't know]

[SuiSui: Hey! Hurry up and ask, QinQin is going on a world tour soon! Her plane ticket is for the morning after tomorrow.]

[Xie Qingxi: !]

Xie Qingxi immediately called his brother.

No one answered.

Xie Qingxi thought for a moment and then called his second uncle.

"When will Qingtang come out? I don't know," Xie Chaolang said. "Is it urgent?"

Xie Qingxi: "...It's urgent."

If he doesn't show up soon, he'll lose his wife again. How can he not be anxious?

Xie Chaolang, who worked at University A and had extensive connections, quickly contacted Xie Qingtang.

When Xie Qingtang learned that her younger brother had something important to discuss with her, she took advantage of a break during lunch the next day to call Xie Qingxi back.

As soon as the call connected, Xie Qingxi sighed, "Dear brother, you've finally shown up."

Xie Qingtang asked, "What is it?"

Xie Qingxi: "Miss Zhang is leaving; her flight is tomorrow morning."

Xie Qingtang paused for a moment, then said, "I understand."

Xie Qingxi couldn't help but ask, "Brother, do you like Miss Zhang or not?"

Xie Qingtang said gently, "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."

"Hey, hey, brother? Brother!"

Hearing the busy tone coming from the receiver, Xie Qingxi wished he could fly to his brother and ask him a good question.

His brother came from a good family, was good-looking, and had a good personality. Countless women had pursued him since childhood, but he rejected them all without exception. In his memory, Zhang Qin was the only woman who could get close to his brother.

The fact that Zhang Qin clung to his brother so much back then, and his brother didn't kick her out, is enough to prove that his brother was smitten.

Not refusing is actually a form of acceptance, isn't it?

But if you liked them, why didn't you keep them with you back then?

And now, is it really true, as his brother said, that it's all in the past?

Xie Qingxi had never been in a relationship and couldn't understand it, so he decided to ask his second brother, Xie Qinglan, who had been in a relationship.

"What's so hard to understand?" Xie Qinglan said. "Big brother's just a bit of a closet pervert."

Xie Qingxi: "...So?"

Xie Qinglan laughed, "Do you remember a few years ago when my older brother suddenly moved out of the faculty dormitory?"

"I remember," Xie Qingxi nodded. "I even helped them move it."

Xie Qinglan: "Guess why he suddenly moved out of the staff dormitory when he was living there so well?"

Xie Qingxi asked, "Why?"

"Because of Zhang Qin?" Huo Huai Sui couldn't help but interject.

Xie Qingxi: "What happened?"

Huo Huaisui told him, "Zhang Qin and your brother live across the hall from each other."

That apartment was very close to University A. As the saying goes, "being near the water tower, one gets the moon first," Zhang Qin bought that apartment back then entirely to make it easier to pursue Xie Qingtang. When Zhang Qin first moved in, to celebrate her housewarming, she even treated Huo Huaisui to... takeout there.

However, Huo Huaisui did not know about Xie Qingtang's move at that time. Now, after hearing Xie Qinglan mention it and comparing the timelines, he felt that it was not impossible.

Xie Qingxi hadn't expected this. After her initial surprise, she seemed thoughtful. "Because Miss Zhang lives there, my older brother moved in too. And my older brother..."

Xie Qinglan chuckled, "Do you think he likes it or not?"

When Xie Qingtang moved out of the staff dormitory, Xie Qinglan was not in the country. Later, when he returned to the country, he heard Xie Qingxi casually complain about it, but he did not know that Xie Qingtang had moved to the apartment opposite Zhang Qin. That's why he thought Zhang Qin had no chance. It wasn't until a few days ago when he heard his wife talk about the two living across the hall that he realized his older brother was really a closet pervert.

Xie Qingxi then asked, "Then why did Miss Zhang marry someone else later?"

Huo Huaisui said, "It was arranged by her family."

Xie Qingxi frowned. "Big brother, you're just going to give up like that?"

If his older brother wants him, the Zhang family will probably pack him up and send him over without hesitation. This is not an obstacle between the two of them.

So why did his older brother let go?

Huo Huai Sui didn't know what Xie Qing Tang was thinking, so he turned to look at Xie Qing Lan and waited for his answer.

Xie Qinglan raised an eyebrow and a wicked smile appeared on his lips. "Shout out the window a hundred times that Brother Qinglan is the most handsome man in the universe, and I'll tell you."

Huo Huaisui, Xie Qingxi: "...Get lost."
