Chapter 72: Corner

“Cough cough cough…”

Jiang Cha was so frightened by these words that he coughed violently and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Zhang Keda, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

Jiang Cha even coughed up tears.

"Don't you like Huo Jingchuan? We can think of a way to see if he has feelings for you!"

Jiang Cha finally came to her senses, she was a little dazed.

"What if he doesn't have any feelings for me? I'm his sister, what if..."

What if he finds her disgusting?

Jiang Cha doesn't dare to gamble.

"If he has no feelings for you, then it doesn't matter to him whether we are together or not."

Zhang Keda continued, "But if he likes you, let's set up a trap to provoke him. What if he can't help himself and confesses his feelings to you?"

"Is this...really okay?"

Ginger tea feels a little unreliable.

"Of course I can. I'm a man too. Men understand men best. You can't go wrong by listening to me!"

Zhang Keda patted his chest and made a promise.

"I'm such a good tool standing right in front of you, letting you use me as you please. What are you still hesitating about?"

Zhang Keda shook Jiang Cha's shoulders, trying to wake her up.

"But……"

What happens after it’s proven?

There will definitely be no result between them, right?

Brother and sister...

Uncle Huo and Mom...can they accept it?

"Forget it, I'll just be his sister, that's fine too!"

Really...very good!

Ginger tea self-hypnosis.

Zhang Keda held her fair and tender face and squeezed it hard.

"I really thought you were something, you little wimp!"

Jiang Cha slapped his hand away, "You're the coward. I'm just considering the overall situation. Do you understand?"

"Yes, you consider the overall situation!" Zhang Keda leaned lazily on the sofa, "If you have the guts, can you stop crying?"

Jiang Cha: "...you'd better shut up!"

As soon as I open my mouth, I become annoying, really.

Jiang Cha didn't want to go back so early, but she said it nicely and considered the overall situation.

But only she knows what she is thinking in her heart.

Zhang Keda was right, she was a coward.

A gust of wind would scare her back into her shell, and she would never dare to stick her head out again.

Jiang Cha dawdled until after four in the afternoon before he rode his bike from Zhang's house back to the family compound.

The rain had stopped long ago.

Jiang Cha rode home slowly and steadily, and the closer she got to the family compound, the slower she rode.

Huo Jingchuan didn't know how long he had been waiting for her at the gate of the family compound. As soon as Jiang Cha appeared at the gate, his cool voice blew into her ears with the evening breeze.

"I thought you wouldn't be coming back today!"

Jiang Cha got off the bicycle and felt wronged.

"I thought you wouldn't be coming back today!"

After all, it wasn't her who didn't go home for a week.

"Jiang Cha, you're really brave!"

Huo Jingchuan took Jiang Cha's bicycle, leaned it against the wall, and pulled her out.

"What are you doing?"

"Talk."

"I haven't locked my bike yet!"

What if it gets stolen again?

"Don't worry, no one dares to steal at the gate of the family compound."

"You scratched me!"

Huo Jingchuan's hands were so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to break her wrist.

"Huo Jingchuan!"

Jiang Cha finally shook off Huo Jingchuan's hand.

"Finally you won't call me big brother anymore?"

Huo Jingchuan pushed Jiang Cha step by step to the outside of the compound, to a corner where no one passed by.

Jiang Cha was forced to retreat again and again, his back pressed against the wall, his heart suddenly in his throat.

“Big…Big Brother!”

"Shut up and don't call me that."

Ever since Zhang Keda called him "big brother", he particularly hated hearing this title coming from Jiang Cha's mouth.

Who wants to be her big brother?

Jiang Cha's eyes were suddenly filled with tears, her little face turned pale, and her lips lost their color.

So, he did know, right?

He really hated her.

He even rejects the identity of being the eldest brother.

Jiang Cha bit her lips tightly, not wanting to hear the words that terrified her in her imagination again.

She didn't know where the strength came from, but she pushed Huo Jingchuan away.

"Even if I don't call you that, you're still my eldest brother. Unless my mom and your dad get divorced, this will never change."

Jiang Cha was so stunned that he stopped talking and wanted to cover his ears and rush forward.

Huo Jingchuan was quick to act and grabbed her slender waist, locking Jiang Cha in his arms.

"You really want to be my sister?"

Huo Jingchuan was very strong, and Jiang Cha couldn't break free, so he simply stopped moving.

"Jiang Cha, answer me, you really want to be my sister, right?"

"yes!"

Jiang Cha closed her eyes, and tears suddenly fell, forming two shallow streams.

"Even if you don't like me, despise me, and hate me, I still want to be your sister for life. Are you satisfied?"

He had to dig out that shameful corner of her heart, expose it in front of him, and make her feel ashamed, right?

Jiang Cha looked up at him, tears falling even harder.

She just wanted to be his sister.

I will be his sister for the rest of my life!

She doesn't like him.

Even if she liked him, her love for him was no different from her love for Huo Jingye.

She only regarded him as her brother...

Huo Jingchuan's strength was drained away bit by bit, and he let her go.

"Do you like Zhang Keda?"

"You're with him?"

“Jiang Cha, you’re so cruel!”

So, from beginning to end, she never gave him even the slightest chance to transform from a brother to a lover.

Because, there has already been a place for someone else in her heart, right?

what to do?

He wanted to lock her up, lock her by his side, and make her only have eyes for him!

As soon as this thought came to mind, Huo Jingchuan's heart trembled violently.

This is not a healthy mental state, there must be something wrong with him.

Jiang Cha felt puzzled. She was clearly doing what he wanted, staying quietly in her role as a younger sister and not causing him any trouble. Why was he still angry?

He staggered and turned around, as if fleeing.

Jiang Cha stomped her feet and said, "Huo Jingchuan, you are such an idiot!"

That night, Huo Jingchuan didn't come back again.

During dinner, Jiang Cha ate absentmindedly.

At the dinner table, Huo Jingchuan and Ye Surong were discussing the visit of the Beijing inspection team to Chuncheng.

Huo Jingye didn't care about those things and kept picking out fish bones and fish skin for Jiang Cha.

"How many days has Jingchuan been away? He came back for a while this afternoon, and I saw he'd lost a lot of weight. Even if someone from the capital came, they couldn't just pick on our Jingchuan. How could his body handle working day and night?"

"There's nothing I can do. The leader in Beijing specifically asked for his company. I see that the leader's daughter seems to be interested in our Jingchuan."

Huo Tingkun hadn't paid much attention to this matter.

It was Zhao Junqiang who reminded him that when Huo Jingchuan was participating in the rally, Comrade Zhan Yiping's eyes seemed to be glued to Huo Jingchuan.

After the rally finally ended, the leader specifically asked Huo Jingchuan to accompany him and become a member of the reception team to receive the leaders with the political commissars.

In all likelihood, Zhan Yiping whispered something in her father's ear.

This feeling is particularly evident today.

Zhan Yiping always moved closer to Huo Jingchuan intentionally or unintentionally, and accidentally sprained her ankle.

If Huo Jingchuan hadn't reacted quickly and pulled her up, she might have rolled down the stairs.

Even so, Zhan Yiping still sprained her ankle. She specifically asked Huo Jingchuan to take her to the hospital and refused to let anyone else do it.

Now, even a blind person can understand what the girl is thinking.

The most annoying thing was that the leader from Beijing asked him about Huo Jingchuan's personal situation in a roundabout way.

"She's from the capital, and she's the daughter of a leader. I'm afraid this matter isn't that simple!"

"Isn't it? I heard that Comrade Zhan Yiping is the only daughter of a leader's family. If our Jingchuan really gets married to her, he will most likely become a son-in-law."

If Huo Jingchuan really became a son-in-law who married into the family, how would he explain this to Huo Jingchuan's biological parents in his afterlife?

Huo Tingkun is worried!

I was so worried that a few white hairs appeared.

Jiang Cha's grip on the chopsticks grew tighter and tighter. So, the girl who was with Huo Jingchuan today might very well become his future partner, right?

Maybe he really likes me and is willing to go to the capital with me?

After all, he was even annoyed when she called him "big brother", but he was more gentle than ever to that girl.

The ginger tea made my tongue seem bitter, and everything I ate tasted bitter.

Huo Jingye Huo Jingye said slowly: "Old Huo, you just like to worry about things that don't go on. I don't like girls like that!"

"Hey, kid, you talk as if you've seen him before?"

Huo Tingkun said unhappily, "That girl is very beautiful. I heard that since she was a child, there are at least eight hundred men chasing after her wanting to be her partner. What if your brother likes her?"

"How is that possible?" Huo Jingye finished the rice in his bowl in a few mouthfuls. "That girl has a bad temper. No matter how pretty she is, I don't like her."

Ye Surong became interested. "Aye, you speak so confidently. Could it be that your brother has someone he likes?"

Jiang Cha pricked up his ears and held his breath.

"Shouldn't...right?"

After all, given his elder brother's personality, if he really had someone he liked, how could he possibly go home on time every day?

He will definitely find a way to squeeze out time and chase after the girl every day!

Jiang Cha breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

"So what type of girl does your brother like?"

Ye Surong asked again, "He's 22 years old, and it's time for him to date. If we meet someone suitable, we can help him find one and act as a matchmaker, right?"

Jiang Cha lowered his head and counted the rice grains one by one, his ears perking up even more.

"My brother should like that..."

Huo Jingye smacked his chin, thinking and speaking slowly, whetting the appetite of several people.
