Qiao Gaoyang pointed at Lu Zhengjun, furious.
He already felt a bit uncomfortable when Leng Yingying praised Lu Zhengjun to the skies in his mind. Now this kid actually said that he was bad at fighting. Although he was indeed bad at fighting, was it necessary to say it directly?
“He’s not wrong,” Leng Yingying, who was eating, even took a moment to speak up. “When I first asked you to cultivate together, you were a little better than me in terms of secret techniques, but now you can’t even catch up with me. Aren’t you going to reflect on that?”
That's a perfect double entendre!
They couldn't catch up with him.
Qiao Gaoyang felt as if a knife had been plunged into his heart.
"Second brother, let's face reality," Qiao Xinruo added, ready to deliver another blow.
Zhou Jinglan nodded repeatedly in agreement, agreeing that his partner was right and his idol was right!
Despite his anger, Qiao Gaoyang wasn't the type to take his anger out on others indiscriminately. He was very capable of facing his own problems squarely and actively seeking solutions.
Regarding pursuing Leng Yingying, his family had already given their opinions, but the only person they hadn't asked was Lu Zhengjun.
So, after the meal, while everyone was drinking tea and chatting, he called Lu Zhengjun aside by himself.
“Brother-in-law…” Qiao Gaoyang put his arm around Lu Zhengjun’s shoulder, pretending to casually lead him away from the conversation, and quietly walked away.
"Second brother, what's wrong?" Lu Zhengjun immediately felt guilty.
He wasn't guilty about what he said, after all, he hadn't said anything reckless. What he was afraid of was Leng Yingying's true feelings!
Everyone just heard Leng Yingying's inner thoughts, which made him very nervous.
"I need to clarify first, it has nothing to do with me. Why my future sister-in-law would think such strange things has nothing to do with me. I've been undercover for the past few years, and I don't even look like this anymore. Don't overthink it..."
Lu Zhengjun had never spoken so much to Qiao Gaoyang in one go before, and from his tone, she could tell that he was genuinely anxious.
“It’s too formal for us brothers to talk like this!” Qiao Gaoyang patted Lu Zhengjun’s shoulder generously, as if he didn’t care at all.
He certainly wouldn't admit that he was a little jealous just now, since it really had nothing to do with Lu Zhengjun.
"That's good." Lu Zhengjun stared at Qiao Gaoyang's expression, pondering how credible his words were, and why his brother-in-law had pulled him aside for a private talk. "Then, second brother, what do you want to tell me?"
"Actually, I just want to learn from your experience." Qiao Gaoyang was really going all out.
What's more appealing than a romantic partner?
The most urgent task is to take his relationship with Leng Yingying to the next level. As for his own face, he's Lu Zhengjun's brother-in-law anyway, so he'll always have face.
"You know, I've been chasing after Shadow for so long, how come our relationship has always been like this..." Even the eloquent Qiao Gaoyang was at a loss for words at this moment, "In short, I feel like something is missing."
"Second Brother means you want to marry Shadow? Then just propose to her," Lu Zhengjun suggested.
"A marriage proposal?" Qiao Gaoyang was dumbfounded.
It wasn't that he lacked confidence; he had always been confident. The key issue was proposing. He was certain that Leng Yingying wouldn't agree if he asked her.
"You might not be entirely clear about my situation with Shadow. Actually, we are..."
Qiao Gaoyang then explained his current situation in detail, which was somewhere between being awaiting formal employment and already being formally employed.
“I see…” Lu Zhengjun pondered.
But what advice could he give his brother-in-law?
When giving advice to others, it's based on one's own experience, summarizing methodologies applicable to others. But the key issue is that the interaction between Lu Zhengjun and Su Yueya is not applicable to ordinary people.
The fact that they were able to get together in the first place was largely thanks to Su Yueya's amnesia, a fact that cannot be replicated.
"Second brother, I don't think I have anything to teach you. Think about it, I got together with Yueya because she mistook me for someone else. I didn't really pursue her, and we just got married..."
Qiao Gaoyang thought about it and realized that it was indeed true.
"Sigh, how come the difference is so big?" Qiao Gaoyang sighed.
Is this the male lead's magic?
Lu Zhengjun liked Su Yueya and became her husband effortlessly. After confirming his feelings for Leng Yingying, he pursued her for so long but made no progress.
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!
"Then give me some advice from a man's perspective. Think about it carefully!" Qiao Gaoyang said, determined to get something useful out of Lu Zhengjun.
"This..." Lu Zhengjun really had a headache.
After thinking for a long time, he could only come up with one solution: to pester her relentlessly.
"Am I not persistent enough?" Qiao Gaoyang retorted, feeling that he had already gone completely shameless in front of Leng Yingying.
“Not enough!” Lu Zhengjun said firmly, emphasizing, “It’s not just ordinary pestering, it’s genuine pestering!”
"Sincerely persistent and relentless? What does that mean?"
Qiao Gaoyang considered himself quite clever, but he had no idea how to carry out a sincere and persistent pursuit.
"The key is sincerity! That means no matter what you do, you have to let the shadow feel your sincerity first, then any action you take will be able to enter her heart. You have to stick to the principle of never giving up and never abandoning her, and use your sincerity to influence her!" Lu Zhengjun said.
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
No wonder he was just promoted to brigade commander; he can talk a good game about trivial matters.
"For example?" Qiao Gaoyang asked again.
Now Lu Zhengjun was also in a dilemma. He really didn't have any specific suggestions. In order to "fool" his brother-in-law, he had a sudden inspiration and thought of a comrade-in-arms who had retired due to injury. That comrade-in-arms did not choose to transfer to civilian work, but retired directly and later set up a shooting range in the suburbs.
“Second Brother, I have a comrade who runs a shooting range in the suburbs. It seems that Yingzi really likes these things. Why don’t you take her there?” Lu Zhengjun suggested.
"A shooting range? That sounds good!" Qiao Gaoyang's eyes lit up immediately.
His dates with Leng Yingying were indeed quite difficult. Leng Yingying found the activities that most girls liked boring, preferring to stay in the army to train or improve her physical fitness. Or they would just go out to eat together, but there was nothing new to do.
A shooting range is a good option; Qiao Gaoyang is sure Leng Yingying will be interested.
"Good lad, not bad, you did offer a useful suggestion!" Qiao Gaoyang was very satisfied and had Lu Zhengjun give him the address of the shooting range.
"I'll let my comrades know when the time comes—"
"No need for that. We'll go have fun and pay whatever we have to pay. There's no need for your comrade to suffer a loss, and you shouldn't cause trouble for others either," Qiao Gaoyang said, considering it a way of supporting their business.
