Ning Yizhan watched the show from the sidelines, keeping his mouth shut and not daring to speak. Shao Jin wanted to help her younger brother but didn't know where to start, so she said, "Why don't you get to know my brother? Actually, he's a decent guy."
Xiang Gexuan said, "He doesn't look like a good person at all."
Shao Jin defended her brother, "How is this a personal attack?"
"What kind of good person is a grown man who needs his older brother to protect him, or rather, a woman to protect him?"
“Yes,” Xiang Gexuan agreed.
"I'm not playing anymore, it's no fun." Qiu Hu had already played three rounds and won them all. She put down her cards and pulled Xiang Gexuan away.
The remaining three grown men stared at each other blankly.
Shao Jin gently punched Ning Yizhan's shoulder and asked him, "Why don't you say something? A-Ling was scolded so badly, and you didn't even help him."
"I can't help her, she's too amazing, I'm afraid I'll get scolded." Ning Yizhan glanced at Shao Ling and spoke the truth.
"Are you two really together?"
"Not yet, but it should be soon."
"Tsk, you're already henpecked before you even have a wife? Are you even a man?"
"Get the hell out of here! What's it to you? I'm doing this because I want to." She then turned her attention to Shao Ling, "So, Ling, what exactly did you do to make them dislike you so much?"
Shao Ling was both amused and exasperated. "I've barely even met them a few times, how could I possibly have offended them?" "Could it really be because of Jiang Yun? They're cousins."
Ning Yizhan, knowing Qiu Hu, spoke up to deny it on Qiu Hu's behalf, "Impossible, the two of them have always been at odds." "You should really think about what you've done before. I might not be able to help you all the time in the future."
When have you ever helped me?
"Of course I did! I pulled her away in time the first two times, otherwise you would have been scolded. I'm leaving now, don't follow me tonight."
The Shaw brothers said in unison, "Who cares!"
Ning Yizhan returned to the living room, wandering around while searching for Qiu Hu. He finally found her in the hallway outside. She was chatting with Shang Ji and his wife. When Shang Ji arrived, he told him to quickly take his wife away.
Just as he was about to walk over, Ning Yijia stopped him. "Brother, so you're here. Shao Jin and the others said you wouldn't let them come with me, but I want to hang out with Shao Jin. Could you look after Sister Moran for me?" Indeed, Guan Moran was following behind Ning Yijia.
Ning Yizhan felt a headache coming on whenever she came to cause trouble. He pinched the bridge of his nose to suppress his temper and said, "Why don't you just take her to play with Shao Jin and the others?"
"No, Sister Mo Ran isn't familiar with them."
"Get to know her better, and you'll become familiar with her. Besides, I'm not familiar with her at all."
Before she could finish speaking, Ning Yijia shoved Guan Moran in front of Ning Yizhan and ran away quickly, saying, "Brother, please, you go now." As she left, she gave Guan Moran a wink.
Ning Yizhan felt a bit disgusted by Guan Moran being suddenly pushed in front of him, and immediately took a few steps back. Fortunately, he didn't touch her clothes much, otherwise he would have been angry. Suddenly, he remembered something and looked up in the direction of Qiu Hu. Oh no, Qiu Hu was watching him, so he must have just arrived.
Something was terribly wrong, so he started walking towards Qiuhu Lake.
Halfway there, he noticed Guan Moran following him, which annoyed him. He turned around and said coldly, "Miss Guan, please don't follow me. I didn't agree to Ning Yijia's request and have no obligation to take care of you. Please leave."
Guan Moran's lips trembled slightly, her eyes welled up with tears, and she whispered, "Okay," before running off in the same direction.
Ning Yizhan was speechless. He needed to explain to Qiu Hu and appease him; he didn't care about anything else!
He walked up to Qiu Hu, called her softly, "Ah Hu," and winked at Shang Ji, signaling him to take Xiang Gexuan and leave first.
Upon receiving the signal, Shang Ji led Xiang Gexuan to another location.
"Ah Hu, are you angry?" Ning Yizhan had an extremely strong will to live.
"I'm not angry."
"Ning Yijia pushed her towards me. I didn't even have time to react, but I didn't touch her, not even her clothes."
Actually, Qiu Hu saw it, but hearing Ning Yizhan's nervous explanation, she still found it somewhat interesting and quite happy. "I know." Then she remembered, "It seems Guan Moran ran away. Don't you need to stay with her?"
"No need." Ning Yizhan understood Guan Moran quite well; she was good at playing the victim and feigning innocence, and it was best to keep such a person alive.
"Ah Hu, were you jealous just now? When you saw Guan Moran getting close to me." Then she added seriously, "I want to hear the truth."
"It seems so, but after hearing your explanation, I'm quite happy."
Ning Yizhan only heard "it seems a bit," so was it what he was thinking? "Oh no, Qiu Hu, you've fallen for me, you're going to fall in love with me!" Ning Yizhan was secretly delighted. It seemed he could put in a little more effort, and he was sure to succeed.
Qiu Hu didn't believe it, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "Do you think that's possible?"
Ning Yizhan reached out and touched half of her face. "Don't be so dismissive. Don't you believe me? You'll become like me sooner or later."
"How could that be? You're so stupid."
Ning Yizhan wasn't angry at being called foolish; his gaze deepened. "I admit, I am indeed a fool in love."
Over here, Ning Yijia, Shao Jin, and Shao Ling were having a great time when Guan Moran, with red eyes, came into their view. Ning Yijia immediately asked with concern, "Sister Moran, what's wrong? Did my brother bully you?"
"Jiajia, you shouldn't have pushed me to Brother Yizhan just now. He has something to discuss with Miss Qiu. We'll be disturbing them if we do this," Guan Moran said understandingly.
