"You?" Qiao Xinru shook her head. "Forget it."
Qiao Gaoyang: "!!!"
"Hey, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me? Looking down on your second brother? You..." Qiao Gaoyang was furious. He hated being looked down on by his sister, especially when she thought his older brother was good and he was not.
"You asked the eldest brother, why didn't you ask me?"
Qiao Xinruo maintained that indifferent expression.
"Is there even a need to ask? That guy successfully won over his girlfriend. What about you? What's the situation between you and Shadow? If I were to ask for advice, it would definitely be about his successful experience, not his failed one. I'm not stupid!"
Qiao Gaoyang was furious and was about to argue with his sister, but then he thought about it and realized that what his sister said made a lot of sense!
That's true. My brother has already successfully married my sister-in-law. Who knows, he might really have some secret to success?
He might listen in and pick and choose, hoping to glean some useful experience that could help him win over Leng Yingying faster.
As a person, one should be humble and listen to the experiences and opinions of others. Therefore—
"Big brother," Qiao Gaoyang plopped down on the other side of Qiao Shouyan, the two siblings flanking their brother, "then tell me, how did you win over your sister-in-law? Let me learn from your experience!"
While enjoying the boundless affirmation and praise from his younger siblings, Qiao Shouyan also shared his limited experience.
"Actually, my date with your sister-in-law was just a normal date. Isn't that how everyone dates? Eating out, shopping, going to fun and interesting places, taking walks and chatting, getting to know each other better, catering to each other's hobbies appropriately, and trying my best to treat her well... Thinking about it, that's about it," Qiao Shouyan said, not feeling that he had done anything particularly different.
"That's exactly what I did!" Qiao Gaoyang felt even more certain that what he had done before was correct, since that's exactly what he did!
"This..." Qiao Xinruo had a headache, as it seemed she hadn't extracted any particularly useful information.
These are all platitudes, mere theoretical knowledge that doesn't really apply to her. What she needs now is a concrete, practical solution that can be implemented.
Meng Yingxin happened to be passing by and saw the brother and sister deep in thought, and found it inexplicably funny.
"What are you two doing? Your brows are so furrowed you could kill a fly," Meng Yingxin said with a smile, beckoning to her husband with her finger. Qiao Shouyan immediately scurried over to his wife's side and carefully helped her up.
"Is the little guy causing trouble again? Are you feeling unwell?" Qiao Shouyan asked.
Meng Yingxin is pregnant and occasionally experiences morning sickness, which makes her feel uncomfortable. However, drinking spiritual spring water regularly greatly alleviates her discomfort. Compared to ordinary pregnant women, she doesn't suffer much.
"No, I just walk around a bit. Crescent Moon said I still need some exercise," Meng Yingxin said.
That's it! Qiao Xinruo's eyes lit up. There was another successful candidate!
"Sister-in-law, when you were dating your brother, did you have any particularly memorable experiences? Tell me about them!" Qiao Xinruo asked.
"Why did you suddenly ask this?" Meng Yingxin asked, a little embarrassed.
Although she has become Qiao Xinruo's sister-in-law, it is not in line with her personality to talk about her love history. Even though they are now family, they still need some privacy and distance.
"Xinruo promised that she would arrange the next date with Zhou Jinglan, but she has no clue what to do. The second brother just wants to hear about our successful experience so that he can get his sister-in-law's approval as soon as possible," Qiao Shouyan explained considerately on behalf of his younger brother and sister-in-law.
"So that's how it is..." Meng Yingxin found it even funnier.
Although she felt embarrassed, she wanted to help them. After all, if this matter could be accomplished, the Qiao family would have another member, and the house would be more lively.
As the eldest sister-in-law, she would feel happy if she could see her younger siblings living happily.
"Hmm... Actually, when I was dating Shouyan, it was no different from any other couple. If you insist on me saying something, I can't think of anything particularly special right now."
Meng Yingxin was telling the truth; she was not hiding anything.
"Well, sister-in-law, let me ask you this: in your memory, which date with brother was the most interesting and fun?" Qiao Xinruo asked in a different way.
"Well..." Meng Yingxin did recall things, many scenes were still vivid in her mind. She suddenly laughed out loud, "Haha, I've got it!"
"I remember one really funny time. Shouyan and I went to a night market stall. We were planning to eat something, but there was a toy gun stall on the roadside. If you hit a certain number of shots, you could exchange them for a prize. Your older brother was pretending to be weak while secretly being strong..."
"By the way, after playing with toy guns, we also went to a dance hall nearby, which was quite fun. Xinruo, I think you could go to the dance hall with Zhou Jinglan to increase your chances of physical contact!" Meng Yingxin suggested.
"No way!" the two brothers rejected in unison.
"How can that be?" Qiao Gaoyang jumped up in protest. "Xinruo and Zhou Jinglan haven't officially started dating yet, so they're not allowed to go to the dance hall. No physical contact whatsoever! We can't give that kid a chance to act like a hooligan!"
However, he could give it a try himself. Leng Yingying is quite talented in martial arts, but I wonder how much talent she has in dance?
"You also think it won't work?" Meng Yingxin looked at Qiao Shouyan.
“Of course not, the second brother is right. Xinruo and Zhou Jinglan haven’t officially established a relationship yet, so they can’t—” Qiao Shouyan was interrupted by Meng Yingxin before he could finish speaking.
"You mean that once you're in a relationship, you can do whatever you want?"
"That won't do! Before we're even married—"
"Qiao Shouyan, I remember we weren't married back then, so why is it that you can do it but Xinruo can't?" Meng Yingxin retorted.
“Exactly!” Qiao Xinruo liked her sister-in-law’s suggestion and immediately retorted, “Big brother, second brother, you’re just being hypocritical! Besides, I’m not stupid, and Zhou Jinglan isn’t a bad person. Why do you think of him as so despicable?”
Qiao Shouyan and Qiao Gaoyang immediately realized they were in the wrong. They had indeed been prejudiced and viewed Zhou Jinglan with bias, but that was unfair.
If Zhou Jinglan weren't good enough, Qiao Xinruo would have already kicked him out after their previous dates.
Even so, they still cannot accept it emotionally for the time being.
"Go ahead and go, as long as... just don't let me know!" Qiao Gaoyang sighed, thinking to himself that the last little cabbage in the family had indeed been taken by that pig Zhou Jinglan. Look how much his sister is protecting that boy now!
"Forget it, daughters grow up and leave home!" Qiao Shouyan sighed in the same way.
