Du Guixiang smiled like a kitten. She put her finger to Du Jingshan's lips and whispered, "Shh! Brother, don't be so loud! If Mom finds out, she'll keep bothering me with questions!"

Listening to his sister's words, Du Jingshan realized from her tone that she definitely had a man she liked!

He hurriedly asked, "Who have you fallen for? Is it Xiao Gao, who you usually go to the factory with?!"

His mind was racing; if it were Xiao Gao, he would absolutely disagree.

Although he doesn't discriminate based on wealth or poverty, Xiao Gao didn't have much formal education, and he still hoped his sister could find an intellectual.

After all, sometimes a scholar can't reason with a soldier. If his sister could marry into an intellectual family where her in-laws are reasonable, her life would be better in the future.

Du Guixiang shook her head, pursed her lips, and said, "Brother, what kind of eyes do you have? Do you think I would like Xiao Gao? Xiao Gao is just a buddy, someone I work with!"

Du Jingshan asked, "Who is that?"

Du Guixiang said, "Alright, that's enough! What's there to ask? Go wash your hands, Mom's almost done making the noodles with soybean paste for tonight!"

She pushed her brother to wash his hands.

Du Jingshan turned around, grabbed his sister's wrist, and said in a stern voice, "Tell me who he is! Tell me now!"

His tone was unusually stern; anyone who wanted to date his sister would have to get past him first!

Du Guixiang's wrist was being squeezed painfully by her brother. She winced and tried to pull her hand back, saying, "Brother, let go of me! You're hurting me! It hurts so much!"

Du Jingshan then realized he was too strong. He said, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention to my strength. Tell me quickly!"

Forced into a corner, Du Guixiang could only whisper, "I like Mu Cangnan... Please don't tell Mom."

I haven't told Mu Cangnan about this yet. We'll talk to Mom after we've decided on something between us!

To be honest, this was all unrequited love. She had no idea what Mu Cangnan meant by it.

She didn't want her mother to know these things while things were still uncertain, otherwise she would never have peace and quiet.

Du Jingshan's face twitched violently. He never expected that the person his sister liked was Mu Cangnan!

What's going on?

Logically speaking, Mu Cangnan and his sister have no interaction and have only met a few times. How could his sister like Mu Cangnan?

He asked, "Mu Cangnan has many problems, why do you like him?"

If you like military life, I know many people in the military, and they are all outstanding young men!

Du Guixiang said, "Mu Cangnan is knowledgeable and cultured, and his job is very prestigious; he is engaged in nuclear weapons research."

And he's not some dull, lifeless intellectual; he can shoot a gun, and one shot can take down an entire person!

As she spoke, she demonstrated Mu Cangnan's gun-wielding posture to her brother. The posture was so cool that it was etched into her mind and she couldn't take it out of her eyes!

Du Jingshan frowned and asked, "How did you see Mu Cangnan with a gun? When did you see him?"

Du Guixiang hadn't expected that she would let something slip, and it was too late to correct herself.

Her lips pressed into a straight line, and she stammered, "Um... big brother, you mustn't tell anyone, it's a secret, I can't say it!"

Du Jingshan said, "Speak quickly!"

Du Guixiang said, "Actually, the reason why Yue'er and I were able to escape today is because Mu Cangnan saved us!"

He fought a fierce battle with the people who kidnapped us. The explosions from the fight attracted the attention of the military region, and he took them all down.

As he ran away, he told us not to mention that we had seen him and to keep it a secret for him.

I promised him, I can't go back on my word, you absolutely can't tell anyone!

She looked at her brother with anticipation.

Du Jingshan's brows furrowed in worry. Who could tell him what to do?

The words escaped through his teeth, “You can like any man in the world except him!”

Du Guixiang looked at her brother, puzzled. She asked, "Why can't it be him? I just like him, so what?!"

Du Jingshan said, "It can't be him, it can't be him, so what! You have to listen to this whether you want to or not!"

Du Guixiang listened to her brother's cold tone; her brother had never used such a tone when speaking to her before!

She stomped her foot angrily and said, "My affairs are none of your business! If you have any free time, go and win Yue'er over!"

"You haven't even sorted out your own affairs, yet you want to interfere with mine? Humph!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and ran back to her room, slamming the door shut.

Du Guixiang's mother came out of the kitchen and saw her son.

She smiled and said, "You're back just in time! Dinner's ready. Oh, where's your sister? Go call her over for dinner!"

As she spoke, she set out the bowls and chopsticks on the table. She was happy that her son and daughter had both come home today.

Du Jingshan had no choice but to knock on his sister's door, but she ignored him completely.

Du Guixiang lay on the bed wiping away tears, completely unable to understand what was wrong with her brother today. Her brother would never speak to her in this tone normally!

What's wrong with her liking Mu Cangnan? Mu Cangnan is so great, why can't she like him?

The grievances in her heart churned like a raging storm.

It's a pity that Yue'er isn't here right now, otherwise she would have gone to Yue'er to complain!

Her brother liked Li Xiyue, and if Li Xiyue supported her, she thought her brother would definitely listen to Yue'er.

She heard her brother's voice outside her bedroom door, but she turned her head away and ignored him.

At this point, they tried to call her, but no way. She wouldn't come out, she wouldn't eat, and she absolutely wouldn't eat unless her brother took back what he said!

Du Jingshan called for a long time but couldn't get her to open the door. He had no choice but to tell his mother, "Mom, don't call her anymore. She's probably too tired and has gone back to her room to sleep."

Leave her some food; she'll eat it herself when she gets hungry later.

Du Guixiang's mother glanced at her daughter's bedroom door. Her eldest son was right; perhaps her daughter was just tired...

She didn't call Du Guixiang; instead, she took care of her son and her husband while they ate.

Hearing the noises coming from outside, Du Guixiang's stomach growled with anger; she was so hungry!

That's great, no one came to invite her to dinner!

Would it kill someone to call her twice more?!

She cursed her brother hundreds of times in her heart. She couldn't take it anymore; she was going to complain to Yue'er tomorrow!

Let Yue'er help her teach Du Jingshan a lesson!

When Li Xiyue returned home, her X-ray vision went through the walls and she looked around the room.

Li Wenbo and Cheng Xiaohui were chatting and eating sunflower seeds out of boredom.

They talked about what she needed to prepare for her wedding.

Countless black lines appeared on Li Xiyue's head...
