As I stared blankly at the glittering scene before me, feeling as if I were in another world, a child tugged at my clothes.
Ying Qian lowered her head and narrowed her eyes. She could tell who he was just by looking at his eyebrows and eyes.
Chen Wenzhi grabbed the child's hand and put it aside. He patiently squatted down to look the child in the eye, but his tone remained undisguisedly cold, "What are you going to do?"
“Sister, you’re my sister, right?” The boy stared at Ying Qian with bright, round eyes, his head held high. “Mom lied. Mom said my sister is an ugly bad girl. But I saw a picture of my sister at Grandma’s house! My sister isn’t ugly at all.”
Chen Wenzhi glanced at Ying Qian.
She couldn't dislike a child for no reason, so she said softly, "Little brother, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not your sister."
Just then, she looked up and saw Meng Beiyan smoking in the emergency exit. So, she decided to play along and pointed at Meng Beiyan, saying, "Do you see that? That brother is my brother."
"No, no." The boy, who already possessed the ability to distinguish right from wrong, shook his head vigorously. "No, no, you and Brother Meng are nothing alike!"
After saying that, he hugged Ying Qian and started to act coquettishly.
Chen Wenzhi stood up, looked at Ying Qian whose face was full of helplessness, and let out a very soft laugh.
Ying Qian heard him, glanced at him, and mouthed, "Save me!"
"Little friend, she really isn't your sister."
"So who are you to my sister?" The boy let go of her hand and tugged at Chen Wenzhi's. "Are you my sister's boyfriend?"
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
Chen Wenzhi's lips curved into a wider smile. "Yes."
"Ouch!" A woman suddenly appeared in their line of sight.
Ying Qian recognized her at a glance as the bride's mother, the middle-aged woman who was about to introduce her son.
"Grandma, isn't this my older sister?"
The woman quickly picked up the boy and said apologetically, "Miss Meng, I'm so sorry! The child is just being silly! He's disturbed you!"
Since the persona of a mute has already been established, let's continue to do so.
She waved her hand, meaning it was alright.
The woman felt even more apologetic and then noticed Chen Wenzhi standing next to her.
Who are you?
Chen Wenzhi took Ying Qian's arm, "I am... her... cousin!"
The woman's terrified expression secretly pleased the two of them.
After getting rid of the troublesome child.
Ying Qian burst out laughing, "I'm dying of laughter! One of us is mute and the other stutters, we're sure to scare them to death!"
"Am I clever?" He tilted his head, his smile triumphant.
Ying Qian followed behind, laughing heartily, "Clever! Clever!"
