His younger sister is quite pragmatic and knows how to read people's expressions.

After safely escorting Qin Xiaoxiao back to the educated youth compound, Qin Ye went around to the front yard and knocked on the compound's door.

Jiang Xiaotian had just gone out to get some water when he heard the knocking and quickly went to open the door.

Upon seeing that it was Qin Ye, Jiang Xiaotian immediately put on a fawning smile.

"Comrade Qin, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

Qin Ye smiled and nodded to Jiang Xiaotian, "Hello, Jiang Zhiqing. There's nothing wrong in the village. I've come to see Su Yun, the educated youth."

Jiang Xiaotian was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a while to come to his senses. "Ah, you're looking for Su Zhiqing? Wait a minute, no, come in with me and wait here in the front yard for a while. I'll go and call her for you."

Qin Ye thanked him and followed Jiang Xiaotian into the gate of the educated youth compound, where he stood still in the courtyard.

Jiang Xiaotian went to the middle courtyard to call Su Yun. He politely did not enter the house, but knocked on the door, then took two steps back and stood about two meters away from the door, looking at the house.

Su Yu opened the door. Seeing that it was Jiang Xiaotian, she asked in confusion, "Is there something you need, Jiang Zhiqing?"

Jiang Xiaotian said with a smile, "It's Comrade Qin Ye. He's here to see Educated Youth Su Yun. Please ask Educated Youth Su Yu to tell her that Comrade Qin is waiting for her in the front yard."

After saying that, Jiang Xiaotian didn't linger and turned to leave.

Upon hearing that it was Qin Ye looking for her sister, Su Yu's eyes lit up, and she closed the door with a smile, calling out, "Sister, Comrade Qin Ye is looking for you."

Su Yun paused, looking up at the doorway in disbelief. "Who are you looking for me?"

"Comrade Qin Ye, my little brother."

After saying that, Su Yu mischievously leaned close to Su Yun and said with a smile, "He's here to see you, why don't you hurry up and go out to check!"

Su Yun understood clearly this time, and quickly put down the sweater she was knitting. She first gently patted Su Yu's arm, then blushed and quickly put on her shoes to run outside.

He ran to the doorway, then remembered something, turned back, opened the cabinet, and started rummaging through it.

Su Yu knew Su Yun was looking for suitable clothes, but pretended not to understand and jokingly asked, "Sis, what are you looking for?"

Su Yun didn't say anything. After searching for a long time, she finally found a red plaid coat under the closet. She changed out of her clothes, put the red plaid coat on the outside, and then put a blue cotton-padded jacket on top. After that, she combed her hair again and then looked at Su Yu with a smile.

"How is it? Is this outfit presentable enough for public appearances?"

Su Yu circled around Su Yun, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, that's right, my sister is beautiful, she looks good in anything."

Su Yun glared at Su Yu with annoyance, opened the door and walked out.

Watching Su Yun leave, Su Yu's eyes darted around, and she ran out after him. However, she didn't go to the front yard, but went to the back yard to find Qin Xiaoxiao.

"Little one, little one, hurry up, hurry up and come with me."

Qin Xiaoxiao had just relit the fire and was boiling water when Su Yu barged in without knocking.

Helpless, Qin Xiaoxiao broke free from Su Yu's hand. "What's wrong? Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Su Yu leaned close to Qin Xiaoxiao and whispered mysteriously, "Your brother came to see my sister and told her to go outside to talk. What do you think they could say?"

Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Su Yu's wrist. "My brother went to see Sister Su Yun? He called her out?"

Su Yu nodded with a smile, "That's right, just now, Jiang Zhiqing came over to deliver the letter."

Qin Xiaoxiao threw down the rag in her hand, grabbed Su Yu, and ran outside.

The two ran to the front yard, but Su Yun and Qin Ye were nowhere to be seen. Without stopping, they quickly ran outside again.

Just as she stepped out of the gate, Qin Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped and stood outside the courtyard.

Su Yu, who was behind her, bumped into Qin Xiaoxiao's back without noticing, and half-leaned on her back, complaining, "Why did you stop? Hurry up, or someone will... Ha, isn't this Comrade Qin? What a coincidence!"

Su Yu raised her paw to greet Qin Ye, who was standing to one side of the gate, looking embarrassed.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the sky, the ground, and the courtyard wall, but dared not look at Qin Ye. Her little hands, tucked behind her back, were so nervous that her fingers were almost intertwined.

Didn't she leave? Why is she still standing at the door? Was her brother waiting for her on purpose?

Why can't you focus on your own relationship? Why are you staring at her?

I just want to watch the excitement, is that not allowed?

Sure enough, the spectacle my brother was going through wasn't all that interesting; you wouldn't see it without paying a price.

Qin Xiaoxiao silently complained, but dared not meet Qin Ye's gaze.

Qin Ye stared at the top of Qin Xiaoxiao's head and said softly, "Didn't you go home? Why are you out again? Where are you going? Come on, tell me."

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't speak, but tugged at Su Yu's hand, signaling her to speak.

Unfortunately, Qin Ye made Su Yu feel like she was being lectured by a leader; she didn't dare utter a single word and was far from answering Qin Ye's questions.

Seeing that Su Yu hadn't said anything for a while, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but turn around and look at her.

You tell me!

Su Yu remained unmoved.

Why don't you say so?

Qin Xiaoxiao glared at Su Yu with disdain.

What are you afraid of him for? He's your future brother-in-law; he has to please you.

Su Yu rolled her eyes.

Your brother has such a powerful aura, I can't handle it.

Qin Xiaoxiao was speechless.

It's none of your business, just pretend you didn't see it.

This time, Su Yu simply ignored Qin Xiaoxiao, keeping her head down and remaining silent.

Qin Ye saw the whole interaction between Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Yu, and covered his eyes with a mix of helplessness and amusement. "Alright, stop glaring at her. I know what you're trying to do. I'll tell you later."

He spoils his own sister, but what can he do when he encounters such a demanding sister?

After saying that, Qin Ye ignored Qin Xiaoxiao, grabbed Su Yun's hand, and the two walked away hand in hand without any hesitation.

Qin Xiaoxiao stared, her eyes wide with amazement.

"My brother is really brave!"

Su Yu's eyes widened, and she nodded frantically, "That's manly enough!"

They weren't even officially dating, yet they were already holding hands. The key point was that Su Yun didn't resist at all, blushing like a shy bride as Qin Ye led her.

Qin Xiaoxiao smacked her lips and clicked her tongue, saying, "My brother is a master."

Su Yu didn't understand, and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with a puzzled expression. Then she leaned closer to Qin Xiaoxiao and asked, "Should we still follow?"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Yu incredulously, "Even like this, you're still going? Aren't you afraid my brother will beat you up?!"

Su Yu scratched her head. "You said it yourself, I'm his sister-in-law, he has to please me."

Qin Xiaoxiao remained silent.

It seems she dug a hole for herself!

Once out of sight of the educated youth compound, Qin Ye led Su Yun to the foot of Mao'er Mountain, bypassed a pine forest, and stopped behind the trees.

"Su Yun, you know what I mean, right?"

Su Yun nodded, blushing.

Qin Ye relaxed, and it became easier to continue the conversation.

"Ahem, Comrade Su Yun, I'm now formally asking you something: I'd like to date you. What do you think?"

Su Yun looked down at her left hand, then looked up with amusement, and smoothly held up her two tightly clasped hands in front of Qin Ye. "If you don't agree, will I let you hold my hand?"

Qin Ye received a reply and completely relaxed. He then pulled Su Yun into his arms.

"I promise you, if you follow me, I will never let you down in this lifetime."

Qin Ye thus made a lifelong promise, which also marked the beginning of Su Yun's happy life.
