"Who? Who do you say you like?" Lin Chaosheng paused in his painting, staring at Lin Shansheng in shock.
"No, no one." Seeing Lin Chaosheng's expression, Lin Shansheng suddenly didn't dare to tell him anymore.
Lin Chaosheng put down the brush and moved closer to Lin Shansheng. "Don't lie to me. I heard everything. You really like Sister Qiaozhen?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Lin Shansheng nodded shyly, "Mmm..."
"You're quite ambitious! Someone like Sister Qiaozhen must have a lot of suitors. Don't end up competing with a bunch of people!" Lin Chaosheng looked at him worriedly.
However, Lin Shansheng was not afraid of having many competitors. "So what? Although someone like Sister Qiaozhen must have many suitors, I am not necessarily worse than other suitors, am I?"
Now it was Lin Chaosheng's turn to admire Lin Shansheng. "Okay, I support you. The most important thing in life is courage and hard work. Maybe you'll really make Sister Qiaozhen fall in love with you in the future."
"Really, bro? Do you really think I have a chance?" Lin Shansheng looked at Lin Chaosheng with starry eyes.
Lin Chaosheng stammered, "Well, I'm not really sure either. I'm not familiar with Sister Qiaozhen either. But we have to try everything. I'll go to Brother Da Niu another day to find out some information for you so you can pursue Sister Qiaozhen later."
Lin Chaosheng was actually quite uncertain, but as things stood, Li Qiaozhen was indeed a good person, and her family, except for Li Erniu, were all good people. Besides, Li Erniu was no longer considered family. Judging from this, Lin Chaosheng's future marriage certainly wouldn't be as tragic as his previous life.
Therefore, as the older brother, he will do everything in his power to ensure that Lin Shansheng achieves true happiness and lives a happy and fulfilling life.
Lin Shansheng was so engrossed in his hopeful fantasies that he worked even harder, already imagining his happy life with Li Qiaozhen.
Little did they know, Li Qiaozhen, standing outside, was at a loss, clutching her wildly beating heart.
That's right, she overheard the entire conversation between Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shansheng. Originally, Li Daniu had heard that his house had started painting the walls and asked her to come over and see if there was anything needed. But as soon as she arrived at the door of the new house, Li Qiaozhen heard Lin Shansheng whisper, shyly, "I like someone like Sister Qiaozhen."
She was immediately frightened and hid behind the corner of the new house, trying to calm herself down. But Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shansheng kept talking. Hearing this, she felt both excited and wanted to curse Lin Shansheng for being a blockhead. She felt that she had made it very obvious since she fell in love with Lin Shansheng, but Lin Shansheng still thought he had no hope.
"Should I go in and talk to him?" Li Qiaozhen pondered to herself. She couldn't stand things, especially these kinds of things, but she was also afraid that if she rushed in and confessed her feelings to Lin Shansheng, it would be very embarrassing if someone overheard. Besides, wouldn't that prove that she had been eavesdropping outside?
Suddenly, two personalities popped into her mind, fighting each other and causing Li Qiaozhen's head to ache terribly.
In the end, Li Qiaozhen compromised. She planned to wait until Lin Shansheng finished work and came out, then pretend to pass by and talk to him, or wait until no one was in the new house before going in and confessing her feelings to Lin Shansheng.
So she waited outside the new house, crying. As time passed, she couldn't wait any longer. She started to mentally prepare herself to go in and confess to Lin Shansheng right now.
However, Lin Shansheng and Lin Chaosheng then walked out.
"I'm starving! Why am I so hungry every day? I haven't done any work today!" Lin Shansheng wiped the sweat from his brow with his tools.
Lin Chaosheng laughed and said, "That's normal, you're still growing."
"What? You still need to grow? I'm so old, why would I need to grow?" Lin Shansheng looked at Lin Chaosheng speechlessly.
When Li Qiaozhen saw them come out, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop Lin Shansheng, "Wait a moment, I have something to say to you."
Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shansheng were startled when Li Qiaozhen suddenly appeared from the corner of the wall, and they both took a step back.
"Sister Qiaozhen, what are you doing here?" Lin Shansheng asked in confusion.
Seeing that this was a good opportunity, Lin Chaosheng decided to create a chance for the two of them to be alone and prepared to slip away. "Oh dear, it's getting late. I have to go home and see if Liang Mei is having morning sickness or anything. Sister Qiaozhen, if you have anything to say, just tell Shansheng first. I'll go ahead."
After saying that, he snatched the tools from Lin Shansheng's hand and ran away in a flash. In reality, he took a detour back to the back door of the old house, intending to eavesdrop.
Lin Shansheng stood there dumbfounded, watching his brother run away, abandoning him, and cried out in his heart, "Didn't you just say you were going to help me? Now you're running faster than anyone else!"
Seeing Lin Shansheng standing there dumbfounded, Li Qiaozhen couldn't help but call out, "Shansheng, Shansheng? Can you hear me?"
Lin Shansheng then came to his senses, lowered his head, and dared not look at Li Qiaozhen. "I...I can hear you. Is there something you need, Sister Qiaozhen?"
“I have something I’d like to talk to you about. Are you free later?” Li Qiaozhen carefully observed Lin Shansheng’s expression.
"I have time!" Lin Shansheng was incredibly nervous, but he still answered quickly.
Li Qiaozhen looked around the area and said, "Why don't we talk here? There's no one here right now."
Lin Shansheng quickly replied, "Sure, I'm fine with anything, I'm okay with going anywhere!"
Lin Shansheng's heart rate was already extremely high. He didn't know what Li Qiaozhen wanted to say to him, and he just secretly guessed in his heart: "Is it about the watermelon patch? Or does Brother Da Niu want to make some kind of deal with my brother? Or does the casino need our help? It can't be Sister Qiaozhen who wants to talk to me, can it?"
"Okay, let me organize my thoughts." Li Qiaozhen looked at Lin Shansheng, who had his head down, and saw him blinking nervously. She panicked and quickly turned away to take a deep breath.
Lin Shansheng stared at Li Qiaozhen's back, his heart filled with undisguised infatuation. He couldn't understand how a woman could be so attractive even from behind.
Lin Chaosheng hid in the bushes nearby, his legs almost numb from squatting. Seeing that the two hadn't exchanged more than a few words, he cursed inwardly, "These two blockheads!"
Finally, Li Qiaozhen turned her head and met Lin Shansheng's gaze, who was secretly watching her back. Lin Shansheng's face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly looked around.
Li Qiaozhen's face also began to burn. Coupled with the fact that she had just overheard Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shansheng's conversation, she was extremely shy. She cleared her throat, but her voice still trembled slightly as she spoke: "You...you have feelings for me?"
