Jiang Weidong was so frightened that his hair stood on end. He turned around and found Jiang Weiguo standing at the door, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
"I...I'll talk to Wang Shu about Jiang Changyi." A fine layer of cold sweat appeared on Jiang Weidong's forehead as his mind raced, trying to come up with a suitable explanation.
Jiang Weiguo nodded with some doubt, then reminded him, "We're all grown up now, so you should be careful not to go into Wang Shu's room casually."
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Weidong wiped the cold sweat from his face after getting away with it and gave a vague reply.
After a good night's sleep, Lin Wangshu was woken up before dawn the next day. She yawned and lifted the curtains to look outside, only to find Jiang Changyi bending over and hoeing Jiang Defu's vegetable garden.
Lin Wangshu admired Jiang Changyi. He was truly a man who could endure humiliation and hardship. He had been so embarrassed last night, yet he still came to work this morning.
Now that she was awake, Lin Wangshu couldn't fall back asleep. After getting dressed, she simply gathered her hair behind her head and went out.
As she carried her toiletries into the yard, Jiang Changyi saw her come out, stood up straight awkwardly, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to greet her.
Lin Wangshu pretended not to see him and walked to the pool to wash up. Jiang Changyi's face stiffened, he took a deep breath, and hoeed the ground with even more force, as if venting his anger.
Soon, Jiang Weidong also came out yawning. When he saw Lin Wangshu, he walked towards her with a smile and joked, "Did you put ink on your eyelids?"
Lin Wangshu rolled her eyes, looking at his bruised eye, and said, "Then you must have been a thief last night!"
Jiang Weidong touched around his eyes, leaned close to her ear and whispered, "I'm like this because of you!" There was a hint of resentment in his voice.
Lin Wangshu recalled the kiss from yesterday and gave him a shy sideways glance. "What? You didn't like it?"
"If I like someone, it's just..." Jiang Weidong hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and whispering, "Can I take the initiative in the future?"
Lin Wangshu understood; he was being chauvinistic and felt it was too shameful for a woman to take the initiative.
So she picked up a towel and wiped the water droplets from her face, then whispered to him, "That depends on how you perform!"
Before he could react, she laughed and ran away, leaving Jiang Weidong shaking his head helplessly behind her.
As Jiang Changyi hoeed the ground, he kept an eye on their movements and felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was too intimate. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
An Jie was already the most beautiful woman Jiang Changyi had ever seen, but when he saw Lin Wangshu, he felt his heart stop beating. This woman was breathtakingly beautiful.
But she looked down on herself just like her mother, she was just as arrogant and disdainful of others. Lin Wangshu was even worse than An Jie. She couldn't see herself at all. This disregard made Jiang Changyi angrier than his disgust.
This strengthened Jiang Changyi's resolve to make something of himself. One day he would bring An Jie and Lin Wangshu down from the sky, making them look up to him, and making Lin Wangshu smile at him like she did at Jiang Weidong...
After breakfast, everyone went to work or school. Lin Wangshu lay in her room catching up on sleep. Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weidong gathered together to chat about things in the army. Jiang Changyi couldn't understand, so he could only wander outside to watch others play ball.
When Lin Wangshu woke up, she found the house empty. She went to the yard and heard a sound above her. When she looked up, she saw Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weidong up there.
On the rooftop, Jiang Weidong had a cigarette between his fingers, and both he and Jiang Weiguo looked somewhat melancholy.
Just then, they heard a noise. Jiang Weidong turned around and saw Lin Wangshu. She only peeked out and smiled at the two of them. "What are you two talking about?"
Jiang Weiguo noticed that his younger brother's expression softened immediately. He quickly stubbed out his cigarette, strode over, and pulled her up. "Hurry up and get on, what if you fall?"
Although his tone was somewhat reproachful, it also contained a hint of doting affection. Lin Wangshu puffed out her cheeks and said indignantly, "I'm not a child anymore, how could I have fallen down?"
"Okay, okay, I misspoke." Although Jiang Weidong said this, he still held her tightly until she was steady before letting go.
Jiang Weiguo felt extremely awkward watching the sweet look in their eyes. How could siblings interact like that?
"Why are you two so lovey-dovey? It's giving me goosebumps," Jiang Weiguo finally couldn't help but say.
"We've been like this since we were little, haven't we? What are you thinking?" Jiang Weidong withdrew his hand, calmly sat back down, and asked back with a look that said, "You're making a fuss over nothing."
Because Jiang Weidong acted so naturally, Jiang Weiguo still felt something was off, but considering that the two of them had indeed been the closest since childhood, he could only suppress his doubts for the time being.
"What are you two talking about?" Lin Wangshu asked, noticing the suspicion still on Jiang Weiguo's face. She quickly changed the subject.
"Sigh, we were talking about the family leave we'd been looking forward to for so long, and it's all gone now!"
Jiang Weiguo was quickly pulled back to his senses, his tone tinged with regret.
"Yes, the family photo that my second brother cried and begged to take when he joined the army is also ruined!"
Lin Wangshu wanted to lighten the mood, so she jokingly told Jiang Weidong about his embarrassing moments.
"You still dare to talk!" Jiang Weidong, enraged, went up to cover her mouth.
Jiang Weiguo was surprised by Jiang Weidong's antics and couldn't help but chuckle.
But seeing the two of them laughing and joking together, I felt superfluous and could only say helplessly, "Alright, you two stop fooling around, I'm going downstairs first."
After Jiang Weiguo climbed down, Jiang Weidong finally released Lin Wangshu. Lin Wangshu, her face flushed red, gasped for breath, saying, "Jiang Weidong, you almost suffocated me!"
Jiang Weidong leaned back with his hands behind his back, looking completely relaxed. "Who told you to keep exposing my weaknesses?"
Lin Wangshu was so angry that she suddenly sat on him, pinched his face and teased him, saying in a nasty tone, "I'm your boyfriend now, what's wrong with letting me have my way?"
Jiang Weidong felt a sudden weight on his body, and then his expression changed drastically. He reached out and grabbed her waist, trying to get her down. "Get down quickly, someone will see us."
"What a coward!" Lin Wangshu sniffed at him, muttered, and turned over to sit down to the side.
Jiang Weidong sat up straight, his legs slightly bent. Hearing her words, he gritted his teeth and said, "What did you say?"
Hearing his unpleasant tone, Lin Wangshu quickly laughed it off, saying, "I didn't say anything, you must have misheard me."
"Come closer."
Lin Wangshu thought he was going to pinch her back, so she closed her eyes and leaned closer, but said pitifully, "Then be gentle."
Lin Wangshu heard a soft laugh, smelled a faint tobacco scent, and then felt a warmth on her lips as her tongue was lightly licked.
She...she was kissed by Jiang Weidong!!!
