Qiao Shouyan couldn't bear to watch.

Qiao Xinruo simply rolled her eyes at her second brother, too lazy to pay him any attention.

"It's nothing, just a normal meal. I'm not like Xiaoyuan and An'an, do you think I need someone to feed me?" Qiao Xinruo avoided the main point.

Lu Siyuan and Lu Si'an want to clear their names.

Although they couldn't fully understand the adults' conversation, they understood what their aunt had just said.

“Auntie is talking nonsense. I don’t need anyone to feed me. I eat by myself!” Lu Siyuan raised his hand. He eats very well every day. When has he ever needed anyone to feed him?

“An’an did too, An’an ate it herself!” Lu Si’an strongly defended her innocence.

Qiao Xinruo: "..."

After asking about meals, they asked about walks, and then they had to ask about the movie theater.

Qiao Xinruo felt like her underwear was about to be pulled down.

"Oh, stop asking, it's nothing, really nothing!" Taking advantage of her two brothers' inattention, Qiao Xinruo stood up and slipped away, saying, "I'm going back to my bedroom!"

But the remaining family members were still very excited.

"Xinruo was shy just now, I think there's a chance!"

"That's right, this is the first time I've seen my daughter act shy. It seems she has feelings for this Comrade Zhou."

"I knew it. This is the person Shadow specifically mentioned in his inner thoughts. He must be different from the others. It seems I was right..."

"This exchange study opportunity is really great. It seems that even God is trying to bring Xinruo and Comrade Zhou together!"

Compared to the other four people who were discussing the matter with great enthusiasm, the two brothers became noticeably silent.

For a moment, they were a little unable to accept this result.

When Su Yueya was first found, there was nothing that could be done. The deed was done; Lu Zhengjun and Su Yueya had already submitted their marriage application and were married. They had no choice but to accept it.

But now that Qiao Xinruo is dating, right under their noses, it's a completely different feeling, especially since they were forced to accept Su Yueya's feelings, so they are even more nervous and attentive to Qiao Xinruo's feelings.

“I think Xinruo has a bit of a crush on that kid…” Qiao Shouyan said.

In the past, when other gay men were mentioned, or when Qiao Xinruo was in a relationship, she always had an indifferent attitude, but today she was acting very strangely.

This abnormality indicates a serious problem.

"Brother, I have a feeling that Zhou Jinglan is just here to steal Xinruo away. What exchange program? That kid has no interest in studying at all. He just wants to seduce Xinruo away!" Qiao Gaoyang said angrily.

"What if Xinruo likes him?" Qiao Shouyan said. Although he was angry, he also cared a lot about his sister's thoughts.

If Qiao Xin truly loves Zhou Jinglan, wouldn't they accept her?

Objectively speaking, Zhou Jinglan's conditions are not bad; it's just that they all view people with prejudice, so naturally they can find fault with everything he does.

"I—" Qiao Gaoyang was furious, but he had to admit that Xinruo's happiness was far more important than his own dissatisfaction. "If Xinruo really likes him, I won't stop her, but! I will absolutely not let that kid easily steal Xinruo away!"

“Yes!” Qiao Shouyan quickly accepted the reality and reached a consensus with Qiao Gaoyang. “We two must keep a close eye on Xinruo and not let that kid easily steal her away. We need to test him properly first.”

"That's right, at least let us see his sincerity!"

The two brothers started whispering among themselves, thinking about how they should make things difficult for Zhou Jinglan next time he came looking for someone—no, how they should test that kid.

"Next time we meet Xinruo, we'll make sure she suffers a lot!" the two brothers declared confidently.

Meng Yingxin and Su Yueya were speechless.

"Big brother, second brother, is it possible that you two have acted like petty people?" Su Yueya kindly reminded him.

Qiao Xinruo is a very decisive person. She can make her own decisions in any matter, and she will only make her own decisions. No matter how much her two brothers want to get involved, in fact, they have little influence on the matter.

"Exactly, if Xinruo really likes Comrade Zhou, the more you two make things difficult for him, the more Xinruo will feel sorry for him. Is this the scene you want to see?" Meng Yingxin asked.

The two brothers' expressions changed immediately.

That's absolutely impossible!

They absolutely cannot do something as foolish as making a wedding dress for Zhou Jinglan out of nowhere.

"How about we lower the bar a little, and not be too harsh?" Qiao Shouyan hesitated.

"Yes, we must know our limits!" Qiao Gaoyang said, clenching his fist.

The two brothers racked their brains for a long time, but they couldn't find a way to test Zhou Jinglan without making their sister feel sorry for him.

"You two keep worrying, sister-in-law. Come on, let's go rest." Su Yueya waved her hand, not wanting to watch them grumble anymore.

"Shouyan, take your time, I'm going to sleep now." Meng Yingxin also left.

The day after their date, Zhou Jinglan couldn't wait to go see Qiao Xinruo, but he held back.

It wasn't that he was afraid of appearing too unreserved, but rather that he was worried that his attitude would be too aggressive and backfire. Moreover, Zhou Jinglan could tell that Qiao Xinruo was a very career-oriented person, so he also had to treat his career well, otherwise Qiao Xinruo would definitely look down on him.

Midway through, Zhou Jinglan waited outside the medical department once, and then went to the army canteen with Qiao Xinruo for lunch.

However, since their relationship was not yet established, Zhou Jinglan did not want to cause Qiao Xinruo any trouble, so he avoided other people to prevent gossip from spreading.

After enduring until the following weekend, Zhou Jinglan was finally able to ask Qiao Xinruo out again.

But when Zhou Jinglan arrived at the Qiao family's door this time, he didn't see Qiao Xinruo. Instead, he ran into his future two brothers-in-law at the door.

"Second Brother, this must be the eldest brother!" Zhou Jinglan greeted him especially proactively, being the kind of person who wouldn't hit a smiling face.

Qiao Shouyan was dumbfounded. Why did he call him "Big Brother" as soon as they met?

"He did the same thing last time? Calling him 'Big Brother' and 'Second Brother' so naturally?" Qiao Shouyan couldn't believe it and couldn't accept it.

Qiao Gaoyang gave him an expression that said, "Now you finally understand."

"That's right, now you see how infuriating this kid is!" Qiao Gaoyang gritted his teeth, not wanting to acknowledge the title of "Second Brother" at all.

"Hello, elder and second elder brothers. I made plans to go out with Xinruo today, and I'm here to pick her up," Zhou Jinglan said, and proactively assured her that, just like last time, he would take Qiao Xinruo home on time, ensure she wouldn't be negatively affected, and protect her safety.

"Protect her?" Qiao Shouyan glanced at Zhou Jinglan. "Zhou Jinglan, are you very confident in your skills?"

The two brothers immediately exchanged glances. Being twins, they displayed a level of understanding that is difficult for others to cultivate.
