"This won't work, and that won't work either. Do you know what he likes?" Chen Yan'an asked.
"I..." Jing Li hesitated to speak.
Chen Yanan's eyes widened. "You didn't ask at all, did you? Then how are you going to help him find it?"
Jing Li felt inexplicably guilty and whispered, "I was just thinking... to screen it myself first..."
Chen Yanan showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
He leaned forward and said, "Why don't you write and ask first? Since you're looking for a man for your brother, you should follow his ideas. What's the point of worrying about it yourself?"
"But……"
"Don't you want to ask?" Chen Yan'an raised his eyebrows slightly, with a teasing tone.
Jing Li looked away.
"I knew you didn't want to find him a husband." Chen Yan'an said, "My sister got married early, and I did the same when I was looking for a husband for her."
Jing Li asked, "How?"
"This one's family isn't well-off, that one's personality isn't compatible, and he's just not happy with everyone. He thinks no one is good enough for her, and he doesn't even want to ask who she really wants." Chen Yan'an said leisurely, "He's found so many excuses, but the real reason is that he doesn't want her to get married. He can't bear to let her go."
Chen Yanan raised an eyebrow at Jing Li and said with a smile, "Isn't it the same thing that you pulled me aside to talk so much today?"
Jing Li: “…”
Jing Li looked away, his ears burning: "I'm different from you."
"Why is it different?" Chen Yan'an acted like a seasoned veteran and said earnestly, "Relax a little. Even close brothers and sisters will eventually get married and start their own families. You're married now, don't you want your brother to find happiness too?"
"I……"
Jing Li lowered his head.
Is this really what Chen Yanan said?
He actually... just doesn't want Qin Zhao to find a husband?
But that was Qin Zhao's wish...
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Chen Yanan quickly walked over to him and comforted him, "Don't be sad, Brother Qin will come back and think I bullied you. Can't I just stop talking? I-"
"I'm not sad." Jing Li interrupted him, "I'm not like what you said. I'll ask him later!"
"What do you want to ask?"
The door creaked open, and Chen Yanan took a step back guiltily: "Brother Qin, we didn't do anything!"
Qin Zhao: "..."
Jing Li: “…”
Qin Zhao naturally didn't misunderstand anything. He just glanced at Chen Yan'an lightly and put the things in his hand on the stove.
"Wow, you're buying meat again!" Chen Yan'an's eyes widened. "How much does such a big chicken cost?"
Qin Zhao didn't answer, but asked: "What were you talking about just now?"
Chen Yanan: "Nothing, sister-in-law said he wants to -"
"Cough cough!" Jing Li coughed twice and kept winking at Chen Yanan.
Chen Yanan: “?”
"Oh, nothing, nothing..." Chen Yanan quickly changed his words, "We were just chatting, chatting for a while."
Qin Zhao's eyes slowly swept over them.
These two fools are so stupid.
He didn't expose her, but asked again: "What are you doing here?"
"Oh, yes, I have something to talk to you about." Chen Yan'an finally remembered why he came and said, "Today is a private school holiday. Did you remember that you promised to help me with my studies?"
Qin Zhao nodded.
The private school had one day off every ten days, and even more on holidays designated by the imperial court. Qin Zhao had previously promised Chen Yan'an that he would teach him on the private school's days off, and he naturally remembered.
