Perhaps that's why Chen Ji wanted to break them up?
"Brother, what are you doing here?" The room was dimly lit because only one light was on.
Upon seeing Shen Qi, she sat up, her hair slightly disheveled, perhaps still a little dazed, as if her mind hadn't quite caught up yet.
Shen Qi hadn't seen his younger brother like this in a long time. He looked just like this when he was little, a little bewildered, which was especially cute.
"I heard you're having relationship troubles, so I'm just checking in. It's okay, if you don't like someone, it's fine to find someone else. Whatever you do, I'll support you." Although Shen Qi was already devoted to his lover, he still didn't believe that everyone would only be devoted to one person for life, so he just wanted his younger brother to be happy.
The silent voice spoke softly, "What if I also like Nian Cangyao?"
Shen Qi was stunned when he heard this. Nian Cangyao was his girlfriend, the person he had decided to spend his life with.
After a moment of mental blankness, I recalled all my brother's strange behavior, and realized that most of the things he liked were the same as what I liked, so it wasn't surprising that we both liked the same person.
Why would he be with a girl he didn't like? The reason was simple: to put his mind at ease. So that's what Xiao Ji was thinking; he'd only just realized it now.
Seeing the other person's surprised expression, he said calmly, "So, will you let me have it, brother?"
After a long silence, Shen Qi finally spoke, "Xiao Ji's feelings are mutual."
It means that even if he were willing to give in, Nian Cangyao wouldn't like him, but he wasn't willing to give in either. Shen Qi would give his younger brother anything he wanted, but not his lover.
"I understand." His tone was tinged with disappointment. After a pause, he continued, "Don't worry, brother, I don't like her."
Shen Qi didn't say anything, he just touched his head.
Shen Qi no longer believed Shen Ji's words, nor did he believe that Shen Ji said he didn't like Nian Cangyao. He just didn't want to use himself because of this problem; he truly was his best younger brother.
"Brother can help Xiaoji find a better girl. What type does Xiaoji like?"
When Shen Ji heard Shen Qi say that, he suddenly remembered Wan Ge saying that they should break up: "I have a girlfriend, I don't need her."
Shen Qi didn't say much in the end. He didn't ask the question he originally wanted to ask because he was shocked by the sudden "truth".
"Alright then, Xiao Ji, you should rest a bit more. I'm going back to my room now."
She gave a soft "hmm" in silence, without even getting out of bed.
When Shen Qi returned to his bedroom, his palms were still sweaty. He felt extremely nervous and at a loss.
He really wanted to believe what his brother said—that she didn't like his girlfriend—but deep down he thought it was impossible. It seemed he could find someone similar to his sister and introduce them to his brother.
…
Ruan Ruan felt very conflicted after hearing their conversation. Although she knew that the villainous young man really didn't like Nian Cangyao, what she said really made her feel like an adult had been cuckolded.
It was also struggling with whether or not it should tell the adults about this, what if it affected their relationship? Forget it, it decided not to tell them.
