Ye Qingcheng's expression was complicated after hearing this. After all, her younger brother had only spoken out of anger because of her, and she couldn't say anything bad about him.
If she were insulted like that, she would also be furious. It's one thing to insult someone, but to take it to the family level is going too far.
The best course of action is to check the surveillance footage to confirm the facts. However, viewing the footage requires the approval of someone at the director level or above. But this school is full of scoundrels, and it's impossible for anyone to be allowed to view something like this.
Bai Ye sensed the complex and worried feelings in the girl beside him.
As a family member, she certainly hoped that her younger brother would be a good student with excellent character and academic performance. However, her brother was the opposite. He had been hyperactive since childhood, did not work hard in his studies, and now he kept arguing with teachers. It would be a miracle if he could concentrate on studying.
She leaned against Bai Ye's shoulder involuntarily, wanting to feel that warmth and ease her mood.
Ye Cheng's eyes widened, and his entire face turned red.
He felt that his most important thing had been stolen right before his eyes.
Bai Ye smiled awkwardly. For someone who is obsessed with their sister, seeing their older sister leaning on someone else's shoulder was indeed a devastating blow.
But Bai Ye couldn't move away, because everyone's weight was on him; what if he fell if he moved away?
And it's okay for friends to lean on each other... my ass!
Ye Qingcheng sighed and said, "I'll book a hotel for you. You can stay there tonight, and I'll take you out to relax tomorrow. Then you can go back and study hard the day after tomorrow, okay?"
She had no choice; she couldn't just send him home and expect her parents to know that Ye Cheng had gotten into trouble again, and they would probably scold him.
Ye Cheng nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice: "Mmm!"
She patted her younger brother's shoulder earnestly: "You're a senior in high school now, you'll graduate soon, so you have to work hard, okay? Don't let your parents down!"
Ye Cheng's eyes dimmed, and he said in a low voice, "Hmm!"
He didn't like studying, but for children from ordinary families, studying seemed to be the only way out, and grades were the only thing that could change their fate.
Every time there was a monthly exam, his parents would ask him all sorts of questions, constantly showing concern for him and surrounding him completely.
His parents maintained contact with all his teachers, saying nice things to him, giving him gifts, and asking the teachers to take care of him.
The more this happened, the more chaotic his mind became, and the less he wanted to face them.
He felt so tired and wanted to escape from here.
He longed for the college entrance examination so he could apply to a university far away, far from here, far from his parents' prison.
...
Ye Qingcheng booked a hotel near Ye Cheng's home and took him to check in.
"Call your sister if anything happens, okay? Order takeout if you're hungry! Do you have enough money?"
The Ye Qingcheng in front of Bai Ye was completely like a good older sister, which was quite different from her usual slightly aloof and arrogant image, but it made her seem more approachable.
Ye Cheng nodded: "Yes, that's enough, that's enough. Sis, sit here for a bit, I'll go downstairs and buy you a cup of milk tea."
Ye Qingcheng looked at her younger brother, who was pulling Bai Ye's clothes to leave, with a puzzled expression: "Why are you dragging him along if you're just buying milk tea?"
Ye Cheng explained somewhat flusteredly, "Brother Bai said he's a little hungry and wants to go buy some food. I'll go with him. Sis, you sit in the room for a while."
Ye Qingcheng looked at Bai Ye with an inquiring gaze.
Bai Ye's lips twitched, suddenly realizing what he meant, and he nodded helplessly.
"Okay, wait here for a bit, your brother and I will be right back."
It looks like a silhouette from behind.
Ye Qingcheng didn't ask any further questions, she just nodded.
After closing the door, the two stared at each other.
Bai Ye sighed and asked, "What are you trying to say?"
This kid clearly wanted to talk to him, and Bai Ye also wanted to see what this kid was up to.
However, Bai Ye's calm expression crumbled the next second.
Ye Cheng stubbornly replied, "I will not agree to this marriage! Don't even think about marrying my sister!"
Bai Ye's head was buzzing.
What good is your disagreement? He'll marry Ye Qingcheng...
Pshaw, when did I ever say I was going to marry your sister?
Hey kid, don't talk nonsense! I'm just a little closer to your sister than most people would, but we're just... normal friends.
Thinking about it this way, Bai Ye fell silent. What kind of normal friendship is this, hugging and cuddling while riding an electric scooter!
Bai Ye's silence, in Ye Cheng's eyes, undoubtedly meant that he was unwilling to give up.
As his sister's protector, no one should have any improper thoughts about her.
Ye Cheng warned, "If you know what's good for you, stay away from my sister!"
Bai Ye rolled her eyes: "You must have misunderstood. Your sister and I are not in a romantic relationship, we are just friends."
Ye Cheng's eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and said, "Friends? Who are you trying to fool? My sister, who hates men, has never had such a close relationship with any man other than me."
"And why would ordinary friends ride together on an electric scooter? My sister was even hugging you from behind. Did you use some trick to deceive my sister's innocent heart?"
Before arriving at the hotel, he had watched Ye Qingcheng and Bai Ye get on an electric scooter, with his sister hugging the man from behind.
This made him, who could only ride shared bikes, grit his teeth in anger, wishing he could tear him apart with his bare hands.
All I can say is that the level of sister complex is terrifying.
These words left Bai Ye speechless.
"What you said is true, but your sister and I are innocent."
Ye Cheng coldly said, "If you can't come up with a dowry of one trillion, then stay away from my sister."
Bai Ye earnestly said, "I really don't have those feelings for your sister. We're just friends."
But Ye Cheng shook his head and ignored him.
Ye Cheng said resentfully, "My sister is so beautiful, there are plenty of people who like her. Don't think you can deceive my sister with some tricks. I will expose your evil heart."
In his eyes, Bai Ye was just a boy who coveted his sister's beauty. He thought that such a person only cared about his sister's appearance and would fall in love with whoever was pretty in the future, and would never be good to his sister.
He had thought about how his sister would get married one day. He was reluctant but had to accept this reality. However, he hoped that his sister could be happy and find someone who loved her and treated her well.
It's too early to tell whether Bai Ye treats his sister well or not, but he will keep a close eye on him. If Bai Ye does anything bad to his sister, he will stop him.
If he's just playing around with his sister, then he'll make that man understand what it means to be stabbed in the back and come out stabbed in the back, and he'll drag that man down with him even if it means sacrificing the rest of his life!
...
A girl with a flushed face was standing close to the door.
As the older sister, she could tell that something was wrong with her younger brother. She wanted to see what he was up to, so she pressed herself against the door to eavesdrop.
The hotel's soundproofing wasn't very good; even though the two of them weren't speaking loudly, their voices could still be heard clearly from the doorway.
She blushed when she heard her younger brother mistakenly believe that the two were in a romantic relationship.
When Bai Ye denied it, she felt a little disappointed.
Recalling all the moments she shared with Bai Ye, her face turned bright red again.
When her younger brother mentioned the bride price, a photo from her wedding day involuntarily flashed before her eyes.
The main subjects of the photo are her and Bai Ye.
