Chapter 106 His Brother

Seeing that Luo Tianxing was about to beat Kong Cunyi into a pig's head, although the opponent was indeed quite annoying and it was quite satisfying to see him get beaten, in order to prevent him from getting into trouble, Qi Nian still stepped forward to persuade Luo Tianxing.

Luo Tianxing glanced at Qi Nian and listened to him out of respect. However, before letting Kong Cunyi go, he seemed to be still unsatisfied and punched him twice.

Qi Nian silently leaned his head back and dodged, although it was definitely impossible for him to hit him.

Luo Tianxing looked at Qi Nian and said, "Please, keep this a secret for me."

Qi Nian looked at Kong Cunyi who was crawling on the ground in the dark, and pointed at the other party who was in a mess, and said, "Are you sure this can be kept secret?"

Even if he didn't say anything, Kong Cunyi wasn't beaten to death, so how could he not complain? Moreover, it wasn't discrimination, it was just that the other party had a face that liked to complain.

The shadowy Kong Cunyi raised his head at the right time and said provocatively: "Just wait, I will tell Uncle Ning and everyone else in a moment to see how good Ning Xia's boyfriend is at pretending!"

Luo Tianxing had always disliked him, so he flexed his wrist and said, "If that's the case, then just shut up."

Everyone thought: "..."

He knew that Luo Tianxing was just speaking casually, but Kong Cunyi had been beaten up, and now in his eyes, Luo Tianxing could do anything, which scared Kong Cunyi so much that he started to panic again.

It seemed that he was about to sneak up to Qi Nian. Qi Nian didn't want to be touched by him, and was trying to dodge, but suddenly an arm grabbed his lower back. The person behind him half-hugged him to avoid Kong Cunyi who was sneaking up.

Qi Nian smelled a familiar breath and turned around. It was indeed Chu Rongshi. He felt a little uncomfortable and patted Chu Rongshi's arm, signaling him to let him go.

Chu Rongshi lowered his eyes, loosened his hand, and glanced at Kong Cunyi: "What is this?"

Everyone thought: "..."

He quickly explained the current situation in a low voice, and then asked Chu Rongshi: "What if he complains?"

Chu Rongshi asked Qi Nian: "Did you do anything?"

Qi Nian shook his head quickly: "No."

Chu Rongshi: "That's fine."

Luo Tianxing: “…” So he is not important?

Kong Cunyi's screams soon attracted people. As the host, Uncle Ning's family was naturally the fastest to walk. They saw Kong Cunyi, who was almost beaten into a pig's head, at a glance.

Uncle Ning was shocked: "Xiao Kong, how did you become like this?"

Luo Tianxing: "He fell accidentally."

"You're talking nonsense!" When Kong Cunyi saw someone came out to uphold justice for him, he couldn't hide the smugness on his face. Maybe he was afraid that Luo Tianxing would beat him again, so he quickly hid behind Uncle Ning, looked at Luo Tianxing viciously, and then complained to Uncle Ning: "Uncle Ning, it was Luo Tianxing who beat me! I didn't do anything, he suddenly ran out and beat me up. Even if I said something unpleasant before and offended him, he couldn't just do it, right? Now he beat me, it doesn't matter, I have thick skin, but if he beats Ning Xia in the future..."

When Uncle Ning heard what Kong Cunyi said later, his face turned unhappy.

Ning Xia immediately stood up to support her boyfriend. She looked at Kong Cunyi with disdain: "You are talking nonsense. Ah Tian never fights with anyone. How could he hit anyone?"

Kong Cunyi couldn't believe it. Wasn't Ning Xia lying with her eyes open?

He pointed to the wound on his face and said, "He doesn't hit people? Could it be that the wound on my face was caused by me?"

Ning Xia couldn't stand him, and crossed her arms and said, "Who can say that? You have evil intentions, and you might want to slander my boyfriend on purpose."

"That's enough!" Uncle Ning watched his daughter talk more and more outrageously, and finally couldn't stand it anymore. He interrupted her and looked at Luo Tianxing: "Xiao Luo, tell me yourself, what happened to Xiao Kong's injury?"

Luo Tianxing glanced at Ning Xia and pursed his lips: "I hit him."

Ning Xia was originally full of confidence, she believed that Luo Tianxing would not hit anyone, but when Luo Tianxing finished speaking, she was full of disbelief, and then frowned: "Ah Tian, ​​when did you learn to fight?"

Luo Tianxing said nothing.

"That's enough, hitting people is wrong!" Uncle Ning looked unhappy.

Qi Nian quickly raised his hand to indicate that he had something to say.

Chu Rongshi: "What does Nian Nian want to say?"

As soon as Chu Rongshi spoke, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to him, and they all looked at Qi Nian.

Qi Nian quickly said, "Brother Tianxing hit me for a reason. If Brother Tianxing hadn't attacked me first, I would have wanted to hit Kong Cunyi."

As he spoke, he repeated what Kong Cunyi had said.

After listening to this, Uncle Ning looked at Kong Cunyi with a gloomy look: "Did you say this?"

Kong Cunyi smiled awkwardly.

Aunt Ning, who had been silent the whole time, said unhappily, "So you've always missed our Xia Xia so much. Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror? Our Xia Xia is more than a match for you. If you weren't good at talking, you wouldn't even be able to enter our Ning family's front door!"

Kong Cunyi was naturally unwilling to accept it, but he was surrounded by the Ning family. The Ning family was so dense in the air that he could hardly breathe. He still understood the principle that a man who knows the current situation is a wise man. If he argued with them at this time, he might suffer physical pain. Kong Cunyi could only curse secretly in his heart and look frightened on the surface.

Uncle Ning snorted coldly: "In that case, we in the Ning family don't welcome you either, take your things and get out!"

Kong Cunyi breathed a sigh of relief and ran away in a hurry.

After everyone left, Ning Hao finally found an opportunity to speak: "Mom and Dad, I have told my sister so many times that Kong Cunyi is not a good person, but you just don't believe it. Now you know how disgusting that guy is, right?"

Uncle Ning glared at Ning Hao silently. Could it be that this brat wanted him, his elder, to apologize?

Ning Hao rolled his eyes and curled his lips when he saw this. He was not surprised at his father's attitude. It had been like this since he was a child. He and his sister would not be allowed to make mistakes, but his father would just let it go when he made his own mistakes. It was as if his father was noble because of his status.

The problem is that his father didn’t give birth to them, they were born by his mother!

However, even though Ning Hao complained, he only dared to do it in his heart. If he said it out loud by accident, he would definitely be scolded.

Ning Hao looked at his sister. It seemed that ever since Luo Tianxing admitted that he had beaten Kong Cunyi, Ning Xia had been frowning and not saying a word.

Luo Tianxing stood beside him with a look of wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Ning Hao immediately walked over and poked his sister with his elbow in a sly way: "Sister, why don't you say anything? Are you impressed by my brother-in-law's handsomeness?"

Luo Tianxing glanced at Ning Hao and seemed very satisfied with the title.

Ning Xia glared at Ning Hao and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Ning Hao touched his nose and showed a helpless expression to Luo Tianxing.

After Ning Hao left, Luo Tianxing smiled and asked Ning Xia: "Why, why don't you say anything?"

Ning Xia looked at Luo Tianxing and asked, "When did you learn how to beat people?"

Luo Tianxing was puzzled: "Do I need to learn how to hit someone? Besides, Kong Cunyi's words were so harsh at that time. He was talking about you. If I don't hit you, I will look down on myself."

Ning Xia pursed her lips slightly and looked down at the glasses hanging on Luo Tianxing's collar: "Why don't you wear glasses? Can you see clearly?"

Luo Tianxing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I was so angry just now that I forgot about it."

As he spoke, he picked up his glasses and was about to put them on.

Ning Xia suddenly stretched out her hand and said, "Please bring your glasses over to me."

Luo Tianxing paused and said, "What's so good about glasses?"

But he still gave the glasses to Ningxia.

Ning Xia pinched the legs of her glasses and raised her hands to put them on. She was not nearsighted, but she felt a little dizzy for a moment because of the high-power glasses.

Luo Tianxing helplessly took the glasses off her nose and said, "My glasses have a high degree, why are you still wearing them? They are not good for your eyes."

Ning Xia watched Luo Tianxing put on his glasses, pursed her lips, and the doubts in her heart lessened a little.

Luo Tianxing: "What's wrong with you? You've been acting a little weird since just now."

Ning Xia shook her head and smiled, "Nothing. I remember that you never fought with anyone before. No matter how much someone provoked you, you would always stand still and reason with them."

Luo Tianxing smiled and took her hand and said, "I can now reason with the other party, but the premise is that the person is not talking about you."

Ning Xia looked at Luo Tianxing, her heart throbbing, and she pursed her lips happily.

After a while, Ning Hao found another opportunity to pull Ning Xia away, and asked secretly: "Sister, what happened to you just now? You kept looking so sullen. I was a little worried that my brother-in-law was angry because of your sullen face."

Ning Xia finally came to her senses. Wasn't her expression just now too obvious?

"It's nothing. I just suddenly heard that he hit someone and I thought it was a bit strange." Ning Xia explained.

Ning Hao didn't take it seriously: "What's so strange about this? You are his girlfriend, and even his girlfriend was scolded like that. If he didn't take action, I would have doubted whether he was a man. But he took action and beat up Kong Cunyi's grandson like that. I actually admire him a little bit."

Didn’t you see that he has changed his way of addressing him and started calling him brother-in-law? This shows his recognition of Luo Tianxing.

Ning Xia: "He never fought with anyone before, so I found it strange."

Ning Hao still didn't think anything was wrong: "You said it too, that was in the past. It's been so many years, it's impossible for people to remain unchanged."

Ning Xia had already dispelled some of her doubts, but after hearing what Ning Hao said, she felt that she was overthinking.

That's right, it has been so many years, everyone will change, even she herself has changed, let alone Luo Tianxing.

Moreover, her impression of Luo Tianxing has gradually become a little vague. He is more like an obsession to her. Perhaps compared to the Luo Tianxing in her memory, she likes the current Luo Tianxing who will protect her more.

She turned her head and looked at Luo Tianxing not far away. The latter saw her and smiled. In a trance, he was still the same Luo Tianxing, but seemed a little different.

That’s right, people change.

Luo Tianxing saw Ning Xia talking to Ning Hao beside her and not paying attention to him. He lowered his eyes, took off his glasses and pinched his nose.

Tsk, these glasses are really uncomfortable to wear.

He closed his eyes, then immediately put his glasses back on. When he looked up, he saw Qi Nian looking at him. He smiled politely at her and lowered his eyes to drink his tea.

"What are you looking at?" Chu Rongshi handed Qi Nian a piece of cake and put it to his mouth.

Qi Nian stupidly opened his mouth subconsciously, Chu Rongshi smiled and fed him the cake.

Qi Nian chewed his food with his cheeks bulging. He came to his senses and took a sip of tea with a bit of embarrassment.

"This is a little sweet." Qi Nian didn't dare let others hear it. After all, it was not a good idea to be picky about what others prepared. He could only whisper to Chu Rongshi in a low voice.

Chu Rongshi heard this and handed him a piece of matcha flavored tea: "How about this one?"

Qi Nian felt that the matcha flavor should be good. These pastries are very small and delicate and can be eaten in one bite. He nodded: "This is delicious."

After saying that, he blinked and looked at Chu Rongshi again.

Chu Rongshi seemed not to notice, lowered his eyes and replied to the work message, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi Nian glanced at the cake that was a little far away from him, and was too embarrassed to reach out to take it. He could only rub his face secretly and tried his best to hint to Chu Rongshi: "Ah... that one seems to be rose flavored, I don't know what it tastes like."

Chu Rongshi glanced at him and said deliberately, "Don't eat too much, it's time to eat later."

Qi Nian was a little unconvinced when he heard that, but no, he only ate two pieces. He had eaten a little less this morning and he was already hungry. But after all, he was not at home, so he did not have the courage to say anything. He could only eat some cakes.

His brother turned out to be like this! Qi Nian became more and more unhappy as he thought about it, so he took a piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

Chu Rongshi was stunned by his sudden action: "Don't you think it's too sweet?"

Qi Nian paused in his chewing motion for a moment before he realized that the cake he had just grabbed in a fit of anger was the one he had just thought was sweet. But he had already eaten it. He glanced at Chu Rongshi and said, "It's better to die of sweetness than to die of hunger."

Chu Rongshi lowered his head and laughed out loud.

Several relatives looked over curiously, after all, it was rare to see Chu Rongshi smile like that.

Although no one was looking at him, Qi Nian still felt embarrassed and quickly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Wow, this is really sweet. He secretly drank a sip of tea to suppress the sweetness.

Chu Rongshi smiled and said it was nothing, then pushed the rose-patterned cake that Qi Nian had always wanted to eat in front of him.

Qi Nian's lips curled up, he ate one and found that the matcha flavor seemed to be more delicious.

Chu Rongshi did not lie to him. It would be time for lunch in just ten minutes.

Today the family reunited, so the lunch was naturally extra sumptuous. Qi Nian had already eaten half a handful of cakes, and after seeing the table full of various delicacies, he instantly regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

When he looked at Chu Rong, the latter raised his eyebrows slightly and said innocently: "I reminded you."

Everyone thought: "..."

He whispered, "It's okay, I'll eat less."

As a family of scholars, the Ning family is very particular about seating. The elders naturally have to sit at the top, and the younger ones sit at a table.

In fact, Chu Rongshi usually sits at the elders' table, but today he didn't go. After all, it was a family dinner, and although it was particular, it wasn't that particular, so no one cared.

As expected, Qi Nian couldn't eat anymore after a while. Looking at the delicacies that he hadn't tried yet, he felt sad.

Hey, what's so delicious about the cakes? Well, they are delicious, but I ate too much matcha flavored cakes just now. It was really unnecessary.

Regret is regret.

In the end, Qi Nian couldn't even drink the lotus seed soup he had just taken a sip of, but he knew that the Ning family was very disciplined and he felt embarrassed to leave any soup, so he could only drink it without any taste.

Chu Rongshi whispered, "Give it to me."

When Qi Nian turned his head to look at Chu Rong, he felt a little embarrassed. Although they were in love, it was a bit inappropriate for him to drink the leftovers, right?

Although he really couldn't drink it anymore.

Finally, for the sake of her own health, Qi Nian secretly gave the lotus seed soup to Chu Rongshi when no one was paying attention.

Seeing Chu Rongshi taking his lotus seed soup with one hand, Qi Nian looked left and right with a guilty conscience, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one came to rest in their place.

Turning his head, Chu Rongshi picked up his spoon. Qi Nian quickly stopped him: "Wait, spoon..."

Before he could finish his words, Chu Rongshi had already drunk the lotus seed soup.

Everyone thought: "..."

Chu Rongshi obviously didn't think much about it and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qi Nian felt that he was steaming all over, blushing and whispering, "The one I used before."

Chu Rongshi: “Yeah.”

Qi Nian: Do you have to be so calm?

Well, there is really nothing to be embarrassed about. After all, they have kissed before, so there is nothing wrong with kissing indirectly.

Well, that's it! Qi Nian tried to appear calm.

They finished the meal in such a thrilling (?) way. Qi Nian noticed that Luo Tianxing and Ning Xia were called over by the elders and looked at them curiously.

Seeing that he was not the only one there, several other kids came over curiously. Qi Nian immediately felt no longer embarrassed and pulled Chu Rongshi to go along.

Uncle Ning was a very serious middle-aged man. Before he could say anything, he saw a group of young people gathered around him and frowned, saying, "What's the point of gathering around here? Go away, go somewhere else."

The kids looked at each other and reluctantly moved away slowly. They were really curious. Judging from the look on their uncle's face, he was probably going to talk about Sister Ning Xia's life. They were not young anymore, so why couldn't they listen?

However, no matter how they complained, they had to leave obediently.

Qi Nian felt a little disappointed when he saw this, and turned around silently. However, Chu Rongshi pulled him and he sat on the sofa openly.

Everyone thought in unison: “???” Are you sure you won’t be chased away?

Don’t mention it, that’s really not the case. Uncle Ning glanced at them, said nothing, and looked away.

Qi Nian glanced at Chu Rong with starry eyes, but was afraid that his uncle and aunt would notice something, so she quickly looked away, trying to minimize her presence.

At this time, Uncle Ning spoke up: "Xiao Luo, since our Xia Xia brought you home, it means that we have decided to marry you. I see that you are not young anymore. Why don't you discuss it someday and have your parents meet so that we can finalize your marriage."

In fact, it was the man who should have brought it up, but Uncle Ning still took the initiative to bring it up. He didn't say much, and in the end he still asked Luo Tianxing's parents to come over to discuss these things.

"Dad! Why didn't you tell me all this!" Ning Xia felt a little embarrassed when talking about marriage, and her cheeks turned red, but she didn't resist much.

Everyone looked at Luo Tianxing, waiting for him to give a result.

Luo Tianxing was silent for a while before saying, "Uncle and aunt, I am also looking forward to the two families sitting together, but my parents may not be very convenient recently, so it will probably be a while later."

Uncle Ning is a traditional man. He thinks that since he has taken the initiative to bring up the matter, is there anything inconvenient for the man?

Hearing what Luo Tianxing said, he inevitably felt a little dissatisfied. He wanted to say something, but was stopped by his wife's eyes.

Ning Miao smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Brother, you suddenly brought this up, Xiao Luo must be completely unprepared. Marriage is a major event in life, and Xiao Luo's parents are coming to visit, so he must be prepared."

Uncle Ning's expression improved a little after hearing this.

Ning Xia suddenly got angry and said, "Dad, don't talk about A Tian. You haven't even discussed this with me. You should at least ask me about my marriage, right? I'm not planning to get married yet."

"Kid, are you scolding your father?" Aunt Ning frowned and told Ning Xia not to say anything.

Ning Xia looked unhappy and didn't say anything else.

Uncle Ning: "What my little sister said does make sense. I suddenly said this and I understand that you are not prepared. Since this is the case, let's wait for a while."

Ning Xia said, "Dad, are you done? If you're done, I'll take A Tian away first."

Uncle Ning frowned, unable to control his daughter, and waved his hand helplessly, asking her to leave quickly.

Ning Xia took Luo Tianxing's hand and went out of the door. Several kids at the door heard them talking intermittently. Suddenly, the door was opened and Ning Xia pulled Luo Tianxing out with a sullen face. It seemed that she was angry for some reason.

Wei Yang poked Ning Hao: "Cousin, what's wrong with Sister Ning Xia? She looks very angry."

Ning Hao scratched his head: "How should I know? I'm not the worm in her stomach. I guess it's because of my parents. But it's okay. My brother-in-law is trying to comfort her. We'd better not go, or we might get hurt."

Wei Yang thought of Ning Xia's expression just now and nodded in agreement.

On the other side, there was no one around. Ning Xia shook off Luo Tianxing's hand and asked, "Luo Tianxing, what do you mean? You were just making excuses. If you don't want to marry me, just say so. Who do you think cares?"

Luo Tianxing quickly wiped away his tears and kept explaining: "It's not that I don't want to marry you, it's really not."

Ning Xia looked at him: "Okay, take me to your house tomorrow."

Luo Tianxing fell silent after hearing this.

Ning Xia laughed angrily: "I don't want to see you now, get out."

Luo Tianxing: "Xia Xia I..."

Ning Xia: “Get lost!”

Seeing that Ning Xia was about to faint from anger, Luo Tianxing said quickly, "Okay, I'll go, Xia Xia, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation soon, just calm down first..."

After scolding Luo Tianxing away, Ning Xia immediately couldn't control her tears. She heard footsteps nearby and thought it was Luo Tianxing. She scolded, "I told you to get out, but you didn't..."

When I turned around, I found Qi Nian with an embarrassed look on his face.

Qi Nian didn't expect to run into Ning Xia crying. For a moment, he didn't know whether to leave or not.

He comforted her dryly: "Sister Ningxia, don't be sad,...it's all a misunderstanding."

"What a ridiculous misunderstanding." Ning Xia laughed at herself. She couldn't explain why Luo Tianxing never wanted to take her to meet his parents even though they had been together for so long.

Even her father's behavior just now, which was no different from proposing marriage, was still rejected by Luo Tianxing. Is Ning Xia a despicable person?

Qi Nian actually felt that Luo Tianxing was a little strange a long time ago. Although it is true that so many years have passed, he must be different from the person in Ning Xia's memory.

But myopia won't change, right? But just now, over there on the rockery, Luo Tianxing didn't wear glasses and his eyesight was fine.

He just asked Ning Xia casually and learned from her that Luo Tianxing was very nearsighted and could hardly live without glasses.

However, through his observation, Luo Tianxing seemed to be more unsuitable for the glasses, so what exactly caused such a big difference?

Qi Nian quickly found the answer: [Because he is not Luo Tianxing at all, but Luo Tianxing's twin brother Luo Tianzhe! The two have completely different personalities, one is a good-natured gentleman, and the other has a completely opposite personality.]

[But at that time, Sister Ningxia liked Luo Tianxing, and she probably didn't know that Luo Tianzhe liked her. This guy came to Jingshi after ten years to meet Sister Ningxia, and pretended to be her brother. This is not a good thing to do, and people can't pretend forever. Once Sister Ningxia finds out, she will definitely be very angry...]

[No wonder he was unwilling to bring Ning Xia to meet his parents. It seems that he was not unwilling, but he was afraid. After all, once he met his parents, everything would be exposed.]
