"Yunqi, I heard you were back, so I rushed over to see you, so you wouldn't have no friends to chat with." Yun Liping greeted Xiaoqi loudly as he walked in.
Yun Liping is the youngest daughter of Xiao Qi's uncle, who is a few generations removed. The two were born in the same year, only a month apart. Yun Liping was born first, which can be considered a kind of ill-fated relationship between the two. They entered school at the same time and were in the same class from elementary school to high school. The main problem is that the two of them can't stand each other and usually cause trouble for each other. But these are just minor squabbles between little girls, and the adults don't criticize them. Instead, they think it's a sign that the two have a good relationship.
During the college entrance examination, Yun Qi performed better and was admitted to X University, while Yun Lijuan was only admitted to a third-tier university in H Province. The two would only bicker during holidays, but they still looked down on each other.
In fact, Yunqi didn't remember why the two of them were like this back then, but after fighting for so many years, they had gotten used to this kind of bickering friendship. They felt uncomfortable if they didn't tease each other.
"Now you see? Look at all these people in my family, do you think I'm afraid of not finding anyone to chat with? Is it because nobody pays attention to you that you come here to seek attention?"
"It's because my mom asked me to deliver freshly fried dough twists to Uncle Ming. Do you think I'm so free that I came to see you?"
"Hey Green Apple, you should eat less fried food. Look at all the pimples on your face, or you'll end up with the surface of the moon."
"You should mind your own business. Look at how the sea breeze has affected you these past two years; your face hasn't gotten any whiter."
"Do you know what this is called? This is called a healthy skin tone, something money can't buy back."
“I’m afraid that if you get any darker, I’ll think that Africans have come to our village every time you enter,” Lin Liping said exaggeratedly.
"You should really focus on your face. You have a hormonal imbalance. You should find a boyfriend soon, or your Uncle and Aunt Wei will worry about you not being able to get married."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely get married before you."
"Don't be so sure of yourself. Come, let me introduce you. This is my fiancé, the kind we're getting married to soon." Yun Qi hooked his arm around Si Cheng's and raised his chin as he introduced him.
"...Are you kidding me? You say he's your fiancé, so he's your fiancé?" Because Mr. Yun hadn't informed the relatives yet, no one knew about this news.
"We exchange betrothal gifts on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. You should hurry up and find one too. You might even find one sooner than me. You don't still have a boyfriend, do you?"
"That's because I don't think much of them yet."
"You talk so well, but that's because nobody's pursuing you."
"You mean you have a lot of suitors?" she said, glancing at Si Cheng.
"You don't need to sow discord, I only like him." After saying that, she leaned her head on Si Cheng's shoulder. Watching their familiar way of getting along, everyone just thought they were watching a stand-up comedy show. Gao Liang even grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds from the table and handed some to the older sister next to her.
Seeing that the two were arguing again, Yun's mother interrupted them and suggested that they sit down together for tea.
In front of their elders, the two knew when to stop, exchanged a snort, and sat at opposite ends of the tea table.
Uncle Gao and the others all knew Yun Liping. The children all went to the same school and were related. Although there were some minor conflicts, they were quite united at school. If they had a conflict with someone at school, they would unite against the outsider.
People are used to their way of getting along. Although peers sometimes compare themselves to each other, they see it as a sign of friendship.
Yun Liping chatted with everyone for a while longer before getting up to say goodbye. She then invited everyone to visit her home sometime.
