Chapter 189
Mingqiao was eating the peeled and chopped fruit and drinking the tea brewed by Lingsi. There was a little paper man massaging his legs at his feet.
He looked so relaxed, yet he was still sighing.
"well."
He took a bite of the fruit and sighed, his pretty little face filled with sorrow.
Yi Yi, who was sitting on the ground playing with a small maze, couldn't help but listen to his elder brother sighing.
He raised his little face and asked Ming Qiao: "Brother, do you want to play?"
Ming Qiao: “No.”
Ming Qiao: "Your maze is not fun."
Yi Yi: “Fun!”
The small maze in Yiyi's hand was built by Lingsi for him.
Lingsi set up a complete formation in the small maze, and it would take quite a bit of effort to walk through it from beginning to end.
Yi Yi likes playing this very much.
He was very interested in breaking formations, and he loved to study all kinds of strange and bizarre formations.
Seeing that his brother was not playing with his own little maze, Yi Yi turned his gaze to Ling Si.
Lingsi was not idle either.
As soon as he finished delivering the water to Ming Qiao, he continued to peel the fruit.
Little lazy boy also likes to eat fruits.
Lingsi, who was peeling a fruit, received Yi Yi's gaze. He stopped what he was doing and thought for a few seconds.
"Ming Qiao, if you keep staying like this, your mood will probably get worse and worse."
"Why don't we go out and relax?"
In fact, Lingsi seldom goes out with Mingqiao. He always goes out alone.
Yi Yi doesn't like to move and likes to stay at home.
In order to replicate interesting formations for him, Lingsi would often go out to look for formations left by others and try to break them himself.
He would bring back the broken formation and replicate it for Yi Yi to play with, and Yi Yi would be very happy.
At this moment, Yi Yi heard his eldest brother sighing all the time. He looked at Lingsi's little face, which clearly said: Solve it quickly!
Mingqiao was not very interested in Lingsi's proposal.
He leaned lazily on the couch, wanting to just lie there.
"I may have found the remains of Lord Futan. Do you want to go?"
Lingsi finished speaking to Mingqiao, then looked at Yiyi again: “There must be some formations left in the ruins of Futan.”
all:"……"
Yi Yi was hesitating whether to go out.
He looked at Lingsi, then at Mingqiao, and finally said slowly: "I don't want to walk."
Lingsi was used to it: "I'll hold you."
Nodding one by one.
Yi Yi, the lazy guy, agreed to go out, and Ming Qiao nodded as well.
He has not yet been to Futan's ruins.
The remains of Futan are said to have been destroyed long ago and no one has ever found them.
You Qing never mentioned it either.
Lingsi said he had made a discovery. Although Mingqiao didn't hold out much hope, he thought it was okay to treat this trip as an outing for fun.
Mingqiao and Yiyi both agreed to go out, and Lingsi immediately went to prepare things for the trip.
He has to take care of these two lazy guys on the way, so he has to prepare in advance.
Wait until Lingsi leaves the door.
Ming Qiao, who was leaning on the couch, stretched out her foot and kicked Yi Yi who was lying on the ground: "Yi Yi, remember to go back when you have time. Don't always stick to Ling Si here."
Slowly and firmly, he covered his ears.
Ming Qiao: “?”
Ming Qiao sat up and narrowed his eyes: "Don't you listen to my brother?"
all:"……"
Yi Yi clarified for herself: "I'm not clinging to him."
From childhood to adulthood, it was clearly Lingsi who stuck to him.
Ming Qiao thought about it carefully. Although he always gave his younger brother to Lingsi when he was a child, the premise of giving his younger brother away was that he realized Lingsi wanted to play with Yiyi.
Over the years, Lingsi has been staying with their family and seems to be quite happy.
"Forget it, I don't care about you guys. Anyway, I just want to remind you that Lingsi has grown up."
"We adults have adult things to do."
Ming Qiao's talk about adult matters made Yi Yi curious, so he asked, "What are adult matters?"
Ming Qiao curled her eyes and said, "I won't tell you. When you grow up a little, you will know it yourself."
As they were talking, Er Er, who had just finished running errands outside, came back.
She bought everything Mingqiao wanted.
"Brother, I met Brother You Qing on the road, and he took the book I bought for you."
Er Er stuffed the things to Ming Qiao. After she finished stuffing them, she took out a new book as if to take credit: "I saw he left, so I went to buy you another one. Look, it's exactly the same."
Er Er handed the new copy of "Spring Breeze Chronicle" to Ming Qiao.
After handing it over, she asked casually, "Brother, what book is this? Is it interesting?"
Ming Qiao put the book in his arms and said calmly: "This is a book of poetry, do you want to read it?"
When Er Er heard that it was poetry, he waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, I don't like reading this anymore."
Er Er brought all the things back. She stood in front of her eldest brother and winked at him.
Mingqiao took out a purse and gave it to her.
This is the errand fee.
Er'er, this little girl, is very good at spending money.
When she has spent all her pocket money, she will think of ways to make money.
In addition to the money Mingqiao gave her for running errands, Yi Yi also gave almost all of her pocket money to her.
Fortunately, Mingqiao and Yiyi are not short of money. Mingqiao has a whole treasury of wealth, and Yiyi has Lingsi to support her, so they are not short of money.
"Brother, I'm leaving now! Go play!"
Er Er got the money successfully and ran away with a smile on her face.
Er Er left, and Yi Yi was still staring at Ming Qiao's chest.
"Brother, books."
He wanted to read the book Ming Qiao was hiding in his arms.
Ming Qiao: "You can't watch."
Er Er was not around, so Ming Qiao was no longer shy about what he said. He said directly, "This is a book for adults. I'll let you read it when you grow up."
Mingqiao and Yiyi are only two or three years apart in age.
But Ming Qiao always treated Yi Yi as a child when he looked at him.
He has a room here in Lingsi.
"Yiyi, you can play the maze here. Big brother needs to go back to sleep."
Ming Qiao made up an excuse and went back to his room with all the delicious and fun things that Er Er bought for him, as well as a book called Chun Feng Ji that he had been looking forward to for a long time and finally arrived.
Yi Yi looked at his elder brother's back, wanting to chase him but being too lazy to move.
Just then, Lingsi, who had been busy for a while, came over.
Yi Yi immediately opened his mouth: "Lingsi, I want a book!"
Lingsi: "What book?"
Lingsi loves reading, and there are many books in his study.
"Spring Breeze Chronicle."
One by one, he told Lingsi the names he had seen: "Brother has this book, but he won't show it to me."
Lingsi felt a little unfamiliar with the title of this book.
He probably hasn't seen this book.
"I'll go buy you a copy. By the way, do you want to read anything else besides this book?"
"No."
While Lingsi was coaxing Yiyi, in the other room, Mingqiao was already lying on the bed, opening the cover of the book.
Chun Feng Ji is a book with both pictures and texts.
This book is very expensive, and both the text and the illustrations in the book are exquisite.
Ming Qiao supported his chin with one hand and turned the pages of the book with the other, reading seriously.
He is reading books and learning new knowledge.
You Qing, who had confiscated "Chronicle of Spring Breeze", was now in his room, opening the book.
Different from Ming Qiao's relaxed state when reading, his face was tense and his brows were knitted, as if what he held in his hand was not a book but some ferocious beast.
He didn't want to read this book.
When he came back, he thought about throwing the book away, but before throwing it away, he changed his mind.
He took the book back to his room and read it with a research mindset.
After finishing the book, he closed his eyes, his mind in a mess for a moment.
Qiao Qiao...why would you like this?
You Qing is now sure who Ming Qiao likes, but when he thinks about Ming Qiao doing this kind of thing with someone, he can't help but feel unacceptable in his heart.
He didn't want Ming Qiao to be forced to do these things!
“Boom boom boom—”
There's a knock at the door.
The hostility in You Qing's eyes gradually faded away. He took a deep breath, put the book away, stood up and opened the door.
There are ginkgo trees outside the door.
Bai Guo saw him coming out and asked, "Qiao Qiao and Yi Yi, are you going out?"
Mingqiao and Yiyi were going out, so they sent a message home.
Since Yi Yi seldom goes out, Bai Guo was worried that it would be inconvenient for them to go out together, so he wanted to ask You Qing if he wanted to go with them?
He would feel more at ease if You Qing went with him.
You Qing was silent for a few seconds before replying, "I'll go."
Bai Guo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"If you follow me, I won't worry."
Baiguo smiled and didn't bother him anymore.
After Baiguo left, You Qing got up and went to Lingsi's house.
When he got there, Mingqiao, Lingsi and Yiyi had just finished packing and were about to go out.
He did not immediately appear.
The three people who were ready to go out, led by Lingsi, hurried on their way.
Yi Yi took only two steps before he turned into a blade of grass. He lay on Lingsi's head, just like before.
You Qing didn't pay much attention to it.
His eyes were all on Lingsi and Mingqiao.
Mingqiao was thirsty, and Lingsi immediately handed her some water.
Mingqiao was hungry, so Lingsi immediately squatted down to cook.
Mingqiao said he wanted to eat fish, so Lingsi went to the nearby river without saying a word and caught fresh fish for him.
Lingsi almost obeys Mingqiao's every word.
And Mingqiao naturally accepted Lingsi's kindness to him.
The fire in front of the open space was burning so hot that it was a bit unbearable.
Ming Qiao took two steps back and sat down.
He held a wooden stick in his hand and stirred the fire from time to time, while his eyes were staring straight at the inspiration in the river.
When he looked at Lingsi, the corners of his mouth raised with a hint of smile.
This scene deeply hurt You Qing's eyes.
Sure enough, the person Mingqiao likes is Lingsi.
Over the years, the person who is closest to Mingqiao and has always been by Mingqiao's side is Lingsi.
You Qing hid in the tree, his big hands tightly grasping the branches.
At this moment, he looked at Lingsi's back with hostility.
Lingsi was completely unaware of being watched. He was fishing in the river while playing with Yi Yi.
The little leaves float up and down in the water, which is quite fun to watch.
Ming Qiao had a smile on her face, but she was actually not looking at Lingsi, but Yiyi.
Time passes by little by little.
Soon, two days passed.
As night fell, Mingqiao and Lingsi watched the stars together outside. Although they were not next to each other, they were not far away.
"We'll be there soon."
Lingsi said, "Let's have a good rest tonight. If we really find it tomorrow, we will be busy."
"Yes, I know."
Ming Qiao smiled. He looked at Xiao Cao who was sleeping soundly in Ling Si's arms, and reached out to touch the leaves of the grass.
"Lingsi, why do you like Yiyi so much?"
Ming Qiao suddenly asked, "You have been taking care of him since he was a child. Don't you find it annoying?"
Ling Si did not answer the question directly. He only said, "Isn't it the same for you and You Qing? Aren't you always together?"
Ming Qiao raised an eyebrow: "He and I are different from you and Yi Yi."
"What's the difference? You Qing treats you as his brother, and I treat Yi Yi as my brother too."
Ming Qiao: “…”
Ming Qiao was speechless.
He wanted to say something, but he couldn't really refute it.
You Qing treated him like a younger brother. Not only did everyone in the family think so, but even You Qing himself probably felt so over the years.
He gave himself a fixed identity: Mingqiao's brother.
But in this identity, he didn't dare to step out even a little bit.
Ming Qiao thought about You Qing, then looked at Lingsi and Yiyi.
He raised his hand, patted Lingsi's shoulder, and said earnestly: "There is no shortage of brothers in our family. If you want to be a brother, I won't stop you."
"I'll just tell you one thing, brother, this identity will make concessions to your lover."
Ming Qiao's words were clear.
Lingsi wants to be the older brother, okay.
But he wanted to always be as close to Yi Yi as he is now, but as her brother, he couldn't do that.
The truly close people in this world do not count as blood relatives, but only couples in love.
After Ming Qiao finished speaking to Ling Si, he caught a glimpse of the swaying shadows of the trees out of the corner of his eye.
His eyes curved, and he didn't move his hand away from Lingsi's shoulder in a hurry.
"Since you have behaved well these past few days, I would like to remind you that you should also take a look at the Chun Feng Ji you gave to Yi Yi."
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going back to bed."
Mingqiao felt that if he didn't go back, Lingsi would be in real danger.
He put his hands away, stood up, and returned to the tent.
He entered the tent, and before he had packed up, the lights in the tent suddenly went out.
At the same time, a figure came over.
The author has something to say:
