Chapter 90 The cub's adorable antics melted Wen Qingqian's heart.
"no!"
Li Zhengyang stood up abruptly.
The little boy noticed the unease on his face and quickly asked, "Why not? Does Uncle Zhengyang also like Aunt Cuiping?"
Li Zhengyang's eyes widened, and panic instantly appeared on his handsome face. He looked away, unable to look directly into the cub's eyes.
Even his hands, which hung at his sides, were clenched into fists.
Finally, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
"No, I didn't... I didn't, I can't like her."
How could he not like her?
But his affection will only become a burden for Sister Cuiping.
He is four years younger than his sister. They have lived under the same roof for so long. If he were to express his feelings, not only would it affect his mother's feelings for Cuiping, but even the people in the military dependents' home would secretly speculate about them.
Some people might even misinterpret her behind her back, since they knew her before she got divorced.
If someone were to say that Sister Cuiping had an affair with me while I was still married, given my personality, I would probably only be hurt even more.
Li Zheng felt a pang of sadness whenever he thought about these things.
Even he himself didn't know how to deal with such feelings.
He is a man, and society is always more tolerant of men than extremely harsh on women.
Sister Cuiping is a good woman, always gentle and kind, taking good care of both home and work. She even notices when he comes home from his night shift.
He knew very well that his sister treated him like a younger brother.
Even if he didn't want to just be the younger brother, he couldn't bring himself to say it.
He didn't say anything, he just quietly watched over his sister, and they could still get along as family, and he could still see her every day.
Once I say it, it will only force me to draw a line and leave.
Li Zhengyang closed his eyes tightly, suppressing the pounding in his heart.
After opening his eyes again, he exhaled and said in a deep voice, "Zhizhi, you are very smart, but these words will affect your sister. Please don't mention them again in the future."
He would rather never get married and just stay with Cuiping for the rest of his life.
He didn't want to hope for anything more.
The little cub observed Uncle Zhengyang's reaction and knew that its intuition was correct.
She sighed, deliberately feigning regret.
"Alright, since you're not interested in Sister Cuiping, then Uncle, why don't you introduce some colleagues with better prospects to Aunt Cuiping? What if Aunt Cuiping really falls for them?"
Li Zhengyang was speechless for a long time after hearing this.
Zhizhi revealed a sly smile, which, combined with her milky white fluffy outfit, made her look innocent and radiant. But if you looked closely, you would find that the little dumpling in front of you was actually a real sesame-filled glutinous rice ball.
It looks soft and fluffy with a white skin, but once you cut it open, you'll find it's actually quite cunning inside.
"Uncle Zhengyang, it's settled then~"
Zhizhi left with a single sentence and happily turned to find Brother Yuanhui.
她揍四要让正阳叔叔吃醋，要让他知道，如果他不主动跨出那一步的话，翠萍姨姨是一定会嫁给别人的。
Uncle Zhengyang and Aunt Cuiping are together because they have to face pressure from many sides.
No matter how kind Grandma Li is, she definitely wouldn't agree, since it would be too easy for people to gossip about it if word got out.
So, she has to do something.
She wanted to make Aunt Cuiping happy!
"Huh?... "
Li Zhengyang watched the little cub skip away, the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat.
In the end, the outstretched hand could only hang limply, gradually clenching into a fist...

"Riding my beloved little black-boned chicken, the military dependents' compound will never be congested!"
The little cub happily returned to his original home and found that his handsome older brother had just washed his hair and Aunt Wen was cutting it.
"My daughter's here? Come in and have a seat!"
When Wen Qingqian saw her coming, her eyes lit up instantly.
She raised her hand to call out, but the action terrified Yuan Hui. "Mommy, Mommy! Scissors!"
She was brandishing scissors in her hand; if she raised her hand to greet someone and wasn't careful, she might lose her ear!
Wen Qing smiled somewhat awkwardly, "Haha... Don't worry, even though Mom is holding these scissors, she knows what she's doing."
Yuan Hui's face was full of hesitation. He carefully said, "Well, how about we don't get our hair cut today? I think it would be fine to go to a state-run barbershop. Why don't you take care of Zhizhi first?"
Today, Mom finally had a day off at home, but she suddenly had the idea to try cutting her own hair.
It's fine if she's overflowing with maternal love, but if she gets her hair cut badly, she really won't dare to see Zhizhi for a long time.
Wen Qing gave a soft snort, her overly delicate face filled with resentment.
"You don't trust me? You brat, I already told you I've asked the barber how to cut it, and I guarantee I'll give you a super cool hairstyle!"
Yuan Hui swallowed hard. Why did he have some doubts about his mother's confidence?
"Mom... You're already so talented. You're the lead dancer, the pillar of the stage. Let others earn the money from this skill."
As he spoke, Ohara was about to untie the plastic sheet around his neck.
Wen Qingqian grabbed her son and pressed him down, her eyes flashing with a fierce light. "Hmm? You doubt me?"
She bent down, her face almost screaming "holding a grudge."
"You brat, Zhizhi is still here. If you dare to expose my shortcomings and make me lose face, I'll make sure you have rice porridge and cornbread every night!"
She worked so hard to learn the craft from the master craftsman, all so that one day she could cut Zhizhi's hair.
She'll practice on her son first; what if she really is a genius hairdresser?
Wouldn't Zhizhi like me even more in the future?
I am the aunt who plays best with Zhizhi!
Zhizhi giggled, covering her mouth beside her. Her eyes were full of helplessness. "Brother Xiaohui, a mother's love is like a fan. You must not refuse it."
Mother's love is like a fan; that's the meaning behind it.
If you refuse, your mother will slap you on the head.
whee!
I never imagined that someone as clever as Yuan Hui could have such a helpless day.
Yuan Hui sat back down in the chair, helplessly letting Wen Qing cut him with the scissors.
'Bah! '
Clang, clang, clang—!
Jet-black, glossy hair fell down his superior head.
While getting her hair cut, Wen Qingqian chatted with Zhizhi, "Did you go to Grandma Li's house today but couldn't find Yuan Hui, so you came here?"
"Auntie, you're amazing! You even guessed that!"
Zhizhi nodded like a chick pecking at rice. She proactively moved her little stool over and sat down, excitedly saying, "I have a plan that I want to do with Brother Yuanhui, but Aunt Wen... could you help us?"
"What plan? Tell me about it."
"Mom..." Yuan Hui called out softly.
Wen Qingqian didn't even turn her head; her attention was entirely on Zhizhi.
After hearing Zhizhi recount her conversation with Li Zhengyang in the alley earlier.
Wen Qingqian's eyes lit up instantly. "Really? He really said that?"
Yuan Hui: "...Um, how about...?"
"Yes, yes!" The little one clapped his hands after vividly describing the situation, "Aunt Wen, Zhizhi has already told him to ask Uncle Yuan to help introduce many promising young men to Aunt Cuiping. Zhizhi wants to give him a push so he won't cower anymore. She also wants to ask Aunt Wen for help!"
"Oh~" Wen Qingqian smiled mischievously at the little cub, then nodded in agreement, "Indeed, I've always thought Li Zhengyang was a good guy. There's no way he wouldn't have feelings for Cuiping at all. But... how are you going to beg me?"
Yuan Hui felt a cool sensation on the back of his head. He finally couldn't take it anymore and interrupted their conversation.
"Mom! Concentrate when you're getting a haircut!"
Wen Qingqian was about to say something to him, "What are you making such a racket for? You're so noisy."
When I turned around, I realized that I was so engrossed in chatting with Zhizhi that I hadn't noticed that I was still cutting my son's hair.
When she saw the discovery on Yuan Hui's head, she turned pale with fright. "Oh dear!"
