"What's wrong?" Leng Yingying asked casually, her mind still preoccupied with the movements and breathing techniques she had just practiced with Qiao Gaoyang.
The two had been sitting cross-legged facing each other, but because of Leng Yingying's question, "What's wrong?", Qiao Gaoyang immediately moved like a wounded puppy, shifting himself to Leng Yingying's side and clinging to her as he recounted his aggrieved experience.
"It's my older brother! He and his wife are on their honeymoon these past few days, and they've been inseparable. Yesterday, his wife bought him a few new outfits, and he deliberately showed them off in front of me, saying that no one ever buys me anything..." Qiao Gaoyang hinted.
He felt he had made himself quite clear.
At this point, Leng Yingying should express her sympathy for him and then take the opportunity to say that she would buy it for him, so that he could hold his head high in front of his older brother.
But can Leng Yingying follow the script given by Qiao Gaoyang?
Obviously not.
If that were the case, Qiao Gaoyang wouldn't still be struggling to get a permanent position.
Leng Yingying looked at Qiao Gaoyang with a puzzled expression, almost as if she were looking at an idiot. She didn't think Qiao Shouyan was that naive, so the only explanation was that either Qiao Gaoyang was exaggerating or lying, or Qiao Gaoyang had a problem with his brain.
"No, you and your older brother are both over fifty years old combined, but you don't seem as sensible as Xiaoyuan and An'an. Is that something to brag about?"
"Can't you afford new clothes? You have to ask someone else to buy them for you. Can't you buy them yourself?"
"Your older brother is the same; he asks his wife to buy it for him, can't he buy it himself?"
[He's such a giant baby...]
[Forget it, "giant baby" is really a bit harsh, so I'd better not say it directly.]
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
Thank you!
He never expected Leng Yingying to react this way, which made his grievances and complaints seem very childish and impossible to continue.
"Anyway, I don't care. I'm injured, so you have to say a few words to comfort me, right?" Qiao Gaoyang said.
He thought that since Leng Yingying was willing to give it a try, it meant that she was at least not opposed to him. So when reasoning didn't work, maybe being a rogue would be surprisingly effective.
After all, people who care about you will naturally fall for this level of shamelessness.
But is Leng Yingying someone who plays by the rules?
Obviously not.
"How old are you? You need comforting over such a small thing?" Leng Yingying said, expressing her incomprehension and her face full of disdain.
Although he's a technical person, is such a weak personality really suitable for the military?
[He's acting like a child, still breastfeeding. He needs me to comfort him over such a trivial thing. He wants to date me, does he want me to be his mother?]
[His speech was a bit strange today, all sticky and whiny, like a child whining. Yes, even more whiny than Lu Si'an. What's he trying to do?!]
The more Leng Yingying thought about it, the more frightened she became. Unconsciously, she shifted her position, creating some distance between herself and Qiao Gaoyang.
"Hey, Qiao Gaoyang, I'm warning you," Leng Yingying said, her neck stiff, "you better behave yourself, you hear me?!"
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
He really wanted to open Leng Yingying's head and see if this woman was allergic to dating.
Why is it that other people's relationships are all sweet and lovey-dovey, but when it comes to him, if he's even slightly affectionate, he's suspected of wanting to find his mother or that he's not normal?
It seems his pursuit of her is going to be exceptionally difficult!
"Okay, I got it. Would I dare disobey you?" Qiao Gaoyang was full of resentment, but his body reacted quite honestly. He immediately sat up straight and even his tone returned to normal.
I can't be any more cloying!
He wants to find a partner, not a mother.
"That's good, that's good..." Leng Yingying visibly relaxed a bit, patted her arm to wipe away the non-existent goosebumps.
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
Why do I feel like I was being disliked again?
After finishing his cultivation, Qiao Gaoyang didn't want to leave and suggested going for a stroll with Leng Yingying.
"You've been so busy with training lately, we haven't gone out to play in ages—" Qiao Gaoyang quickly changed his words, afraid of being scolded by Leng Yingying for being playful, "No, it's that we haven't had a big meal in ages, how about we go out for a nice meal today?"
Sure enough, Leng Yingying's eyes changed completely when food was mentioned.
It seemed to be glowing.
Qiao Gaoyang found it both funny and pathetic.
After following him for so long, he has learned about Leng Yingying's preferences, but it seems that apart from food, he is no different from anyone else in his relationship with Leng Yingying!
"My brother and sister-in-law went to a new restaurant. They said the food is pretty good and asked me to take you there when I have time. They said they'd love it. Shall we go and give it a try?" Qiao Gaoyang said.
"Let's go, let's go." Leng Yingying's attitude was positive, but then she remembered the "comfort" she had just received.
"See? Your older brother still cares about you. He even thought of recommending a good restaurant to you, right?" Leng Yingying said.
Qiao Gaoyang: "..."
Haha, was that for the purpose of recommending it?
On the surface, it's a recommendation, but secretly he just wants to show off that he went on a date with his sister-in-law!
How come Leng Yingying is now considered a good person?
I'm so angry!
"Yes, you're right," Qiao Gaoyang said through gritted teeth, not daring to explain too much to Leng Yingying.
The two strolled around before heading to the new restaurant.
On the way, Qiao Gaoyang asked Leng Yingying about her recent training, and she immediately became very excited, sharing a lot with Qiao Gaoyang.
"Your sister-in-law is really amazing. I won't repeat the obvious that she's beautiful. Her new sniper rifle design, the improved version suitable for female soldiers, is really something!" Leng Yingying exclaimed excitedly, gesturing wildly.
[This queen has seen powerful weapons before, but given the limitations of technological development in this era, Meng Yingxin is truly amazing to have created such a weapon!]
"At first, I wasn't really interested in training snipers, but when I heard they had a new gun, I immediately signed up! You know my sniping skills, so what training? I just wanted to try out the new gun, it's so awesome..."
"Do you know what a shooting range is? The one in our unit isn't really that professional. It's one of those where there's a row of targets, and each firing window is independent, so you can..."
Seeing Leng Yingying's lively and animated appearance, Qiao Gaoyang's previous displeasure vanished completely.
Just like the moment he first fell in love with Leng Yingying.
It seemed as if they had also seen her so vivid, lively, and full of life.
Listening to Leng Yingying's description, he felt it was very similar to the training ground in his sister-in-law's weapon space. The scene Leng Yingying described was exactly the same.
