Pei Yunxi's feelings were also somewhat complicated.
From a young age, she was Jing Zhe's strictest older sister, but beneath that strictness lay the hope that Jing Zhe could become better. After all, her love for her younger brother was no less than that for anyone else.
It's just that the way it's expressed is different.
When she saw Jing Zhe again, her feelings remained the same.
Even his physical violence carries the shadow of years ago.
She initially thought this was good, but after getting to know him a few times, she realized that while her younger brother was still the same younger brother, he was also different in many ways.
When no one was around, she thought about it carefully for a long time before finally realizing the reason: her younger brother had grown up!
When they were little, they could ignore gender, but now he's a grown man, and sometimes, there are things that are no longer appropriate for siblings to do...
Thinking about this, Pei Yunxi felt extremely apprehensive.
Or one day, the younger brother will go far away from them. After all, he needs to have his own life. How can he stay with his sister every day?
Your mood will become depressed as a result.
It was in this contradictory and complex state of mind that Jing Zhe put forward those "shocking" views from yesterday.
What "male-female love"?
What do you mean by "not related by blood at all"?
What does "I want to be with my sister forever" mean?
To be honest, besides being shocked, Pei Yunxi also felt a little smug.
Even now, he still cares about them, which is wonderful!
However, this change was too fast. If it were as he said, then she would no longer be his sister, but his wife…
Thinking of this, even someone as aloof as Pei Yunxi would instantly blush and become speechless.
So after Jing Zhe left last night, Pei Yunxi, whose mind was in turmoil, left immediately afterward.
Back at Kunlun Mirror, she locked herself in her room, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. All she could think about were Jing Zhe's suggestions to "live with my sister forever" and "help me practice my skills." In her mind, these two suggestions were actually one and the same.
If she helps him practice his martial arts... wouldn't that make her his woman? And naturally, his woman would live with him...
These thoughts filled her mind all night, and she only managed to fall asleep briefly just before dawn. As a result, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked listless.
...
His eyes were vacant, as if he were deep in thought.
She bit her lip, seemingly struggling with a decision.
Your eyes are bloodshot; did you not sleep last night?
Pei Yunxi's face was flushed, which Qingqiu thought was a reaction after practicing martial arts!
So when Qingqiu came over and saw this scene, her heart sank: it seems she really guessed right!
But then suddenly he became furious!
How could she do this!
We agreed that no one could agree to it, but you secretly slept with him?
Qingqiu strode forward and questioned, "Did he come to see you last night?"
"???"
Pei Yunxi was in a daze when Qingqiu suddenly asked her this question out of the blue, leaving her completely stunned.
"Who's looking for me?"
"Stop pretending!"
Qingqiu crossed her arms and said coldly, "Did he practice martial arts at your place last night?"
"What?"
The more Pei Yunxi listened to her, the more confused she became: "Third sister, what are you talking about? What's this about practicing martial arts?"
"..."
Qingqiu remained silent for a while. Based on her understanding of Pei Yunxi, she knew that Pei Yunxi was not good at lying, and she could easily tell the difference when she did lie.
This shouldn't be... fake.
If she wasn't faking it, why was she acting so strangely?
Why do you look so pale? Didn't you sleep all night?
Qingqiu suddenly changed the subject.
Hearing this, Pei Yunxi gave a wry smile, covered her mouth with her hand, and yawned slightly: "I was thinking about things when I got back last night and couldn't fall asleep... Third Sister wasn't thinking about anything?"
"..."
Qingqiu knew exactly what Pei Yunxi was thinking, because she was thinking the same thing.
But she pretended to be calm: "No, what could I be thinking about? I slept very well!"
"wrong!"
Pei Yunxi thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "Third Sister, when you asked him if he had gone to my place or practiced his skills, you were definitely talking about Zhe'er, right?"
"..."
Qingqiu did not answer, which Pei Yunxi interpreted as tacit agreement.
"Zhe'er... went back to see Third Sister again last night?"
"No...no!"
It seems he only contacted me last night!
Upon confirming this fact, Qingqiu, who had been feeling down, suddenly became cheerful and even very proud: It seems that his feelings for her are the most unique, otherwise why would he only look for her?
Pei Yunxi noticed Qingqiu's reaction.
From her anger, questioning, relief, and secret joy, Pei Yunxi analyzed the situation briefly and suddenly came to a startling conclusion: "Third sister, you're lying!"
"Ah...I...no...no!"
Qingqiu rarely lied before, so she immediately started stammering.
This time, Pei Yunxi crossed her arms and said, "Not yet? Look at your own face, is that not it?"
"..."
Let me guess!
Pei Yunxi glanced sideways at Qingqiu: "After I left last night, Zhe'er ran back and said he wanted to practice with you, and then he would come to me after that, so you practiced with him. But after he finished practicing with you, he ran away and didn't come to me!"
Pei Yunxi gritted her teeth, unsure whether she was angry because Jing Zhe hadn't come to practice with her, or because Qing Qiu had betrayed her by practicing with Jing Zhe alone.
Qingqiu blushed and dared not admit it—of course, she couldn't admit it, because she hadn't practiced martial arts with Jing Zhe at all!
He immediately waved his hand and said, "Fourth brother, don't talk nonsense! I didn't practice martial arts with him!"
"Pah! I don't believe you, you liar!"
Pei Yunxi spat and said coldly.
"I'm not lying to you, I didn't practice any martial arts!"
Even though she was wronged by Pei Yunxi, for some reason, Qingqiu didn't feel nervous or sad at all. Instead, she was secretly pleased because she was only thinking about Jing Zhe's special treatment. He only came to find her and not Pei Yunxi, which meant that in his heart, she was still very special!
"You're still laughing? Do you feel smug?"
Pei Yunxi felt even more dissatisfied when she saw that Qingqiu not only didn't feel ashamed, but was grinning foolishly.
Did I laugh?
Qingqiu asked.
Do you think you laughed or not?
"No, right?"
Qingqiu grinned and asked.
Pei Yunxi was exasperated: "Your mouth is practically stretched to the sky, and you still aren't smiling?"
"Oh, really?"
Qingqiu wasn't flustered. After thinking for a moment, she gave Pei Yunxi another silly grin, then waved her hand and said, "Fourth brother, Zhe'er and I really have nothing going on, don't overthink it! I came here to tell you so you can focus on your martial arts competition! Now that I've said that, I... I'm going back!"
"..."
