What Qiao Zhen couldn't understand was why Qi Yijuan, who was handsome, had a good family background, and was highly intelligent, had such a strange personality.
Qi Yijuan's possessiveness has never been hidden; it's quite severe, to the point that it affects Qiao Zhen's normal life. If it weren't Qiao Zhen being so restrained right now, there's a 99.99% chance that Qi Yijuan would have already broken up with that girl on bad terms.
This could lead to bloody incidents such as imprisonment, poisoning, and dismemberment.
Moreover, Qi Yijuan's kindness towards Qiao Zhen rivals his possessiveness.
So the question is, why is Qi Yijuan so good to Qiao Zhen? The answer should be related to the original owner's background and experiences.
Sunday.
Qiao Zhen and Qi Yijuan went to see a movie, and then she suggested going to an ice cream hot pot restaurant for a while, since it was still quite hot and she couldn't possibly eat hot pot in the middle of summer.
Qi Yijuan took her to the seventh floor of the entertainment venue, where the ice cream fondue restaurant had a very quiet atmosphere.
Most of the people there are men bringing women on dates, or parents bringing their children to play.
They requested a private room.
Qiao Zhen took her bag to the restroom to remove her lip makeup. She even stuffed the room number card into her bag, afraid that she might go to the wrong room later.
Qi Yijuan grabbed Qiao Zhen's hand.
Qiao Zhen raised an eyebrow and tilted her head to look at Qi Yijuan.
Qi Yijuan said hesitantly, "Come back soon, don't keep me waiting too long."
Qiao Zhen reached out and pinched Qi Yijuan's cheek. The smooth touch of her fingertips made her want to touch it a few more times. "Be good, wait for me here. I'll be there soon."
Qi Yijuan let go of his hand and sat anxiously on the cold chair.
He really didn't want to let go of her for even a moment. He could wait for her at the bathroom door, but... there was a thick, dark mist in Qi Yijuan's eyes.
Qiao Zhen stayed in the restroom for two or three minutes before coming out. Halfway out, she saw Qi Yijuan walking out of the private room. "Didn't I tell you to wait for me?"
"What?"
Qiao Zhen took out a door number card from her bag, turned it upside down so the door number faced "Qi Yijuan", and said, "7008, I'm not mistaken, what are you doing here?"
Qi Yijuan belatedly realized something, and he reached out to put his arm around Qiao Zhen's waist. "There were just two friends inside, and we went in to say hello."
wrong!
Her boyfriend was so withdrawn that he had almost no contact with anyone other than her, let alone any friends.
Moreover, although the boy in front of them looked almost exactly like Qi Yijuan, their eyes were completely different.
Qi Yijuan's eyes were like a piece of black jade, as black as ink, with a deep and smooth texture. In particular, the bottom of his eyes was like a pool of dried water, without any ripples.
The boy in front of me, although he behaved much like Qi Yijuan, had bright eyes.
Qiao Zhen noticed the difference between the two in an instant, and she slapped the boy's arm away.
"You're Qi Yijuan's twin brother, right? Although you look alike, I actually prefer him. And your joke isn't funny at all; it's really annoying. Do you think you two are trying to freeload at a buffet just because you look exactly alike?"
The boy looked somewhat embarrassed.
After listening to the conversation while leaning against the corner, Qi Yijuan turned around triumphantly and walked to Qiao Zhen's side. He put his arm around Qiao Zhen's waist in a show of defiance, saying, "Brother, don't joke around with my girlfriend, she'll get angry."
“Zhenzhen, this is my brother Qi Yi’an.”
Qi Yi'an extended his hand to Qiao Zhen, "Hello, let me introduce myself. My name is Qi Yi'an, and I am Qi Yijuan's second brother. It's nice to meet you."
Qiao Zhen ignored Qi Yi'an's hand. "I'm sorry, but if I shake your hand, your brother will be jealous. You probably won't mind, will you?"
Qi Yi'an naturally withdrew his hand. "Of course, he is my dearest younger brother."
Qiao Zhen wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Qi Yi'an's originally bright eyes held a hint of sarcasm when he looked at Qi Yijuan.
Qi Yi'an then said, "Since A-Juan has a girlfriend, why hasn't he brought her home to meet his mother?"
Qiao Zhen's heart alarm bells went off. These words, seemingly out of concern, were actually a veiled threat that Qi Yijuan was just playing with her and had no intention of taking her home to meet his parents.
She deftly deflected the question, saying, "Why should I go see Yi Juan's mother? I thought that was something to be done before marriage. Besides, he's only eighteen this year, four years away from the legal marriage age. Going now would be too early."
Qi Yijuan tightened his arms around Qiao Zhen's waist, and you could feel his emotions through the force of his grip.
Deep, tense, furious, and restrained.
It was a very contradictory emotion, yet it was all mixed together in him.
Qi Yi'an then offered another suggestion: "If Miss Qiao is dating A-Juan with marriage in mind, I still suggest that Miss Qiao visit her mother first. After all, it's better to end things quickly than to suffer for a long time. With Miss Qiao's qualities, she shouldn't lack suitors."
Qiao Zhen completely deviated from the expected approach. She said with a pained expression, "I really don't have any suitors. I'd better try to be a scoundrel to your brother first."
"..."
Qi Yi'an couldn't respond to that.
"Besides, you don't seem to be as old as me. Since I'm being a scoundrel to your brother, please call me 'sister' or 'beautiful lady' when you see me in the future. I'm busy, so I can't keep you company any longer."
Qiao Zhen pulled Qi Yijuan's arm and led him back to their private room. She didn't seem to care about what had just happened.
Looking at Qiao Zhen's indifferent expression, Qi Yijuan initially felt anxious and restless, but gradually his feelings turned into resentment, and finally he was enveloped by dark thoughts.
