Chapter 97, You Are a Scoundrel
She dragged Chu Yuan out for a drink yesterday and got drunk?
Qi Yao stared blankly at her excited sister and replied blankly, "Me and Chu Yuan? Drinking?"
"That's right." Qi Yuan nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice, patted his chest thankfully, and whispered, "Luckily that person was Chu Yuan, otherwise Dad would definitely be furious."
After looking back and making sure that no one was outside the room, Qi Yuan lowered his voice and explained what happened last night to her: "Dad didn't look very good when he came back last night. Mom only found out you were missing after asking. Later, Dad got angry in the study and smashed things. Then after Chu Yuan brought you back, his expression improved a lot..."
"..." She remembered that she followed Chu Yuan to the bar last night, and then what? She got drunk?
"Sister, you and Chu Yuan yesterday..."
"Nothing happened." Qi Yao said coldly, "I was just in a bad mood. He happened to suggest that his friend open a bar, so we went together."
"Is that so?" Qi Yuan sat on the bed, twirling his hair with his fingers, looking thoughtful. "I saw him send you back yesterday and persuaded Dad. I think he's a really good person. Sister, how about you try dating him?"
"No." Qi Yao refused again without hesitation.
"Why?"
"..." Meeting her sister's puzzled gaze, Qi Yao was silent for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "No matter how good he is, Qi Yuan, as long as it's an arranged marriage, I feel a thorn in my heart... I don't want to accept such a marriage, nor do I want to drag others down. Besides, you said he was a good person."
"Oh." Qi Yuan understood his sister's persistence and made an OK gesture. "Sis, if you are sure you don't want him, let's just proceed as planned. Actually, I quite like that guy. He is very gentlemanly and good-looking. I think if I train him well, he can definitely become a good man."
Qi Yao was amused by her sister's choice of words and looked at her with helplessness.
After laughing, the girl said seriously, "Qi Yuan, that plan is ridiculous. I've thought about it for a long time and I think I should tell the truth to my father."
"Please don't, my dear sister!" Qi Yuan climbed onto the bed and lay on her legs. He looked up at her and whined, "Do you think your father will agree to cancel the engagement if you tell the truth? How can you be so naive?"
Qi Yao: "To be honest, I will have a clear conscience."
"You don't have to feel guilty if you don't tell the truth!" Qi Yuan said, "Believe me, if you tell the truth, Dad will definitely beat you up, make you kneel in the study for a whole day, and then throw you into the Chu family and make things a done deal..."
“…”
"Besides, even if father agrees to cancel the engagement, what will happen in the future? Won't you still marry someone else?"
"You're replacing me this time, but what about in the future? You can't always replace me..."
"That's different." Qi Yuan said, "After learning a lesson, my father will be impressed. The next time he makes the same decision, he will think carefully."
"Qi Yuan..." Qi Yao felt that her sister's behavior was indescribably strange. She asked in a deep voice, "Are you really interested in the one from the Chu family?"
Qi Yuan was helpless: "Sister, do you think I'm kidding you? Sister, if you cancel the engagement, the marriage between the Chu and Qi families will definitely be over. Then I will have no chance at all, right?"
“…”
After lying on Qi Yao's bed and talking a lot of nonsense, Qi Yuan finally got what he wanted and dispelled Qi Yao's idea of canceling the engagement.
The little girl was humming a little tune as she walked through the corridor to the study, holding a book. When she heard familiar voices coming from downstairs, she looked out, stopped abruptly, and quickly returned to Qi Yao's room.
"Sister, sister, Chu Yuan is here!" She locked the door and stamped her feet. "Are you feeling better?"
Qi Yao leaned on the bed and heard her sister yelling. She put down the book and said, "It's just right. You go."
"Huh?" Qi Yuan came back to his senses and slapped his forehead, "Why didn't I think of that?"
Qi Yao: "Please close the door for me when you go out, thank you."
"I know!" Qi Yuan wanted to leave, but stopped and walked a few steps to the mirror. "Am I looking too good? No, I have to put on some makeup, otherwise I'll be exposed..."
"..." Qi Yao muttered, "You girl just want to have a good time, right?"
…
The night wind was howling, the girl opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling in a daze.
I was dreaming again.
It's still a dream that I don't remember after waking up.
She sighed softly and turned over to continue sleeping.
When I moved, I realized that the person lying next to me had left without me noticing.
Qi Yuan suddenly sat up and looked around, but there was no one.
Where did Chu Yuan go in the middle of the night?
…
Adjacent to Qi Yuan's room is the room of the deceased Qi Yao.
Because they are close twins, the furnishings in the sisters' rooms are not much different. At first glance, you might think they are just reflections of mirrors.
Qi Yuan stood at the door and saw the young man standing by the window in the dim light.
"Chu Yuan?"
She took two steps closer and looked at him suspiciously.
"what are you doing here?"
Hearing her voice, the man's eyes moved away from the diary in his hand. He pursed his lips and handed the diary to her: "Your diary - I found it in your sister's room."
"My diary?" Qi Yuan took it subconsciously. Looking at the completely unfamiliar diary, she hesitated, "Why don't I remember? I have the habit of writing a diary..."
"It must be a habit you had before the car accident." Chu Yuan said, "I wanted to search every room to see if I could find anything that could help your illness."
I didn’t expect to find it.
"How do you know that this diary is mine?" Shouldn't something found in Qi Yao's room belong to Qi Yao?
"In your diary, you call Qi Yao Sister."
"oh."
Qi Yuan opened the diary and was suddenly stunned.
Her eyes were fixed on the words on the first page of the diary for a long time.
Noticing the girl's suddenly pale face, Chu Yuan placed one hand on her head and asked gently, "What's wrong?"
Hearing his voice, Qi Yuan moved his lips. He wanted to answer his question, but he didn't know what to say.
How could this happen?
This is her notebook, everything in it was written by her hand.
But how could this happen?
"Chu Yuan..." After an unknown amount of time, she finally found her voice, her voice dry and hoarse, "Have you read all the content above?"
Knowing what she was worried about, Chu Yuan hummed, "I've seen it."
"You..." Did you notice anything wrong?
"Qi Yuan, I can't tell." Before she could ask, the man withdrew his hand, put it in his pocket, and tutted twice, "It turns out that you didn't want to replace your sister just because you liked me - after reading this diary, I realized that I have been self-indulgent all along, tut."
"Ah?" Qi Yuan blurted out, caught off guard by the sudden change of topic, "Didn't you say that I got engaged to you on Qi Yao's behalf because I like you?!"
"That's what I thought, before I saw this diary." Chu Yuan raised his chin in frustration. "Look for yourself, see how shameless you were back then, toying with the innocent me. Just thinking about it makes me shed tears."
A scoundrel? Playing him in the palm of your hand?
What kind of descriptions are these!
The girl puffed out her cheeks and continued to flip through the diary swiftly.
