Chapter 27
As soon as these words were spoken, the other two people present froze, but Meng Xuan's attention was all on Meng Yinyin at the moment, so he didn't pay attention to Lu Chen beside him.
"Well, that... Brother, are you tired? Do you want to go to my room and rest for a while..."
Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Meng Yinyin could only lower her head and stammer, the guilt revealed in her voice was simply unconcealable.
Meng Xuan smiled coldly.
You've become more capable and even learned to hide things?
She couldn't help but reprimand Meng Yinyin in her heart, but Meng Xuan agreed to her proposal.
After all, this matter is obviously not a trivial matter, so it is better to find a safer place to talk about it.
"Why don't you lead the way?" He said expressionlessly. Meng Yinyin could only lead him to her room tremblingly.
Lu Chen standing next to her frowned and looked very worried. He wanted to follow, but was quickly rejected by Meng Yinyin with her eyes.
Just kidding!
What if Lu Chen follows in later?
Besides, it was hard for her to take care of her brother alone, so how could she have the energy to coax two people?
Oh, the more I think about it, the more wronged I feel. How could she get into such a thing? I am so pitiful.
Lu Chen received Meng Yinyin's warning from his eyes and stopped in his tracks, but the worry in his heart could not be dispelled.
He stood there, watching Meng Xuan and Meng Yinyin walk into the room and then close the door.
In the end, he could only stand there for a while, then left with his eyes downcast and anxious.
And inside the house.
After Meng Xuan entered Meng Yinyin's room, he saw the spacious and clean room, especially the bed in the room and Meng Yinyin's clothes hanging in the closet. His eyes narrowed slightly, and then he confirmed a fact, that is.
His sister is the only one living in this room.
"The room the team assigned to you is quite big." There was no ups and downs in Meng Xuan's voice.
However, Meng Yinyin's heart was beating fast.
After struggling and hesitating for a long time, she finally had to bite the bullet and tell the truth.
"Brother... Actually, this is not a youth education center..."
Meng Yinyin looked at Meng Xuan after speaking, as if she wanted to adjust the content of her words based on the changes in Meng Xuan's expression.
But unfortunately, she didn't know whether it was because she had poor eyesight or her brother was too good at hiding his emotions, but she couldn't see any problems.
Seeing this, Meng Yinyin suddenly became more nervous.
"Oh, where is this?"
Meng Xuan's tone and expression were unexpectedly calm, so calm that Meng Yinyin became more and more panicked.
She pinched her fingers, trying to squeeze out something that could barely be called a smile.
"Ha, ha, ha, this is actually Lu Chen's house, brother, are you surprised...?"
Her voice finally died down as Meng Xuan's face darkened.
Even though Meng Xuan had already guessed it, he still suppressed his temper and told himself again and again that no matter how brave the girl was, it was impossible for her to live in a grown man's house alone. It was absolutely impossible.
In the end, Meng Yinyin gave him a surprise!
She was so bold as to move into another man's house!
"Meng, Yin, Yin! You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"
Meng Xuan gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words.
Meng Yinyin was so frightened by his tone that her head almost shrank into her neck and her small body was trembling.
She felt that being weak, pitiful and helpless was particularly suitable for her current appearance.
It was a pity that Meng Xuan in front of her was a cold-faced and ruthless "big devil". He was completely indifferent to her pleading eyes. He just knocked on the table with a cold face and gave orders at the same time.
"Don't be so rude, tell me the truth!"
Meng Yinyin pursed her lips, knowing that pretending to be pitiful would not solve the problem, so she could only tell Meng Xuan everything.
For example, how she listened to her parents and looked for a partner, how she selected Lu Chen from among so many people, and how she dated Lu Chen and moved into his house.
"...I have no choice, brother, please don't be angry..."
After Meng Yinyin finished explaining everything, she looked at Meng Xuan, whose face had turned as dark as the bottom of a pot, and didn't dare to speak too loudly.
At this moment, Meng Xuan was so astonished by the huge amount of information in Meng Yinyin's words that he was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Especially when I thought that it was his parents who gave this idea to Meng Yinyin, I was even more speechless.
He couldn't possibly scold his parents as well, right?
In the end, he could only frown and curse in his heart what a bad idea the two elders came up with, then looked at Meng Yinyin with a stern look and asked.
"Did he bully you?"
He had just seen what Lu Chen looked like. With his physique and height, he must be very strong. And judging from his age, he must have been an adult and sensible.
Even though his sister isn't very smart, she does have a deceptive face, and it's really hard for most men to resist her.
So a single man and a single woman were living in the same yard, and they were only a couple in name only. They spent so much time alone that it was hard to say when Lu Chen would be unable to resist and "make a move" on Meng Yinyin.
The key is that if he really forcefully comes, how can Meng Yinyin, with her strength like that of a little cat, resist?
So Meng Xuan is really angry and annoyed now, and also very worried. I hope this girl will not be "bullied" by others so easily, right?
He must have done something bad in his previous life to have such a stupid sister!
Bullying?
Hearing this, Meng Yinyin shook her head vigorously without even thinking, and replied in a smug tone.
"I'm so smart, how could I be bullied? You underestimate me!"
And if there was any bullying, it was she who bullied Lu Chen, okay?
As she spoke, Meng Yinyin took out the fruits on the table and the dried meat snacks she had kept in the cupboard as if they were treasures and presented them to Meng Xuan.
"Look, I got all these from Lu Chen. Now he listens to me and is completely submissive to me. I am bullying him!"
Meng Xuan's gaze fell on the food in front of him, and then slowly shifted to Meng Yinyin's face. When he saw the expression of "I am such an amazing genius" on Meng Yinyin's face, he was completely speechless.
Meng Xuan: “…”
If God wanted to punish him, there could be many ways to do it instead of letting him have such a silly and ignorant sister. The key is how can he, a grown man, explain to a virgin girl that this kind of "bullying" is not that kind of bullying?
In the end, Meng Xuan could only chuckle twice with a forced smile.
"It's a miracle that you have grown to this size intact."
Meng Yinyin: “……!”
He puffed up his cheeks angrily and glanced at Meng Xuan, but was angry but dared not say anything.
In the end, I can only write this grudge down in a little notebook and complain to my parents when I see them again in the future!
However, after Meng Xuan mocked Meng Yinyin, he felt a lot more at ease. After all, with Meng Yinyin's stupidity, she probably had never been "bullied", otherwise she would not have been able to answer such an irrelevant question.
Thinking of this, he felt a little more relieved about Lu Chen, but that was all.
Although according to Meng Yinyin herself, she and Lu Chen were pretending to be in a relationship and staying at his house, but did he believe it? Did other people believe it?
I'm afraid only a fool like her would believe it.
"Brother, how long can you play this time? Have you found a place to stay? If not..."
"Why, you want to chase me away just after we met?" Meng Xuan interrupted her directly.
"What? I mean, if you have nowhere to live, you can sleep on the floor in my house. My room is so spacious, and it's so hot right now, it won't be a problem to sleep on the floor!"
Meng Xuan: “…”
She really is his sister.
"Okay, just live your own place. Who wants to live with you?" Meng Xuan looked at her with disdain. At the same time, he had already thought of where to live.
Although he refused to sleep on the floor in Meng Yinyin's house, he had no plans to live anywhere else.
Lu Chen's house was indeed spacious, and he was now his brother-in-law in name only. Would he dare to refuse to borrow his place to live?
Besides, he still had a mission to accomplish, and it was to help Lu Chen solve his problems, so it was reasonable for him to treat himself well.
At the same time, he also had to take this opportunity to take a good look at Lu Chen.
What about "pretending to be a partner", "temporarily staying at his house", "not interfering with each other", they are all men, and who doesn't know what is in men's minds?
Only a fool like Meng Yinyin would believe such words!
Lu Chen definitely has feelings for Meng Yinyin, but the key point is whether he really likes Meng Yinyin or is just attracted to her face.
Also, from what Meng Yinyin had heard so far, Lu Chen didn't seem to have revealed his thoughts to her. After all, it was this silly girl who took the initiative to bring up the subject, and he had never met such a shameless girl.
So he must now find out what Lu Chen is thinking. Perhaps when necessary, he will vaguely reveal to him the situation of their family and Meng Yinyin's "wishful thinking", and then make some appropriate compensation.
Just hope that kid Lu Chen doesn't really take advantage of Meng Yinyin's stupidity to bully her.
The matter was explained temporarily. Meng Xuan was too lazy to get angry anymore. After putting the luggage in Meng Yinyin's room, he asked her to go find the captain together.
Meng Yinyin knew that her brother might still be angry, so she had to keep a low profile for now. Even if she didn't want to go out, she had to follow her brother.
Then, on the way to find the captain, Meng Yinyin asked about her parents. Meng Xuan did not reveal too much to her. He simply said that they were settled temporarily and there were no big problems.
Meng Yinyin said "oh". Even though Meng Xuan said so, she was still in a very low mood.
"So when can we go see Mom and Dad?"
Meng Xuan's expression froze for a moment, then he pretended to be calm and said, "Let's wait and see. Do you think I'm as free as you? I don't have much vacation time. I'll wait and see when I have a vacation next time."
"Okay then, brother, you must come pick me up when the time comes. I want to go see them too!"
"knew."
He agreed impatiently, but in reality Meng Xuan knew very well that this date might not be set for a long time.
Although he does not have much time and opportunities to contact the outside world in the army, it is better than Meng Yinyin's stay in the mountains. He knows that the place his parents go is not only remote, but also extremely harsh. The key is that they probably don't want their children to see what they look like at this moment.
However, seeing that Meng Yinyin foolishly believed his words, he decided not to tell her the truth.
Fortunately, Meng Yinyin was very excited because she saw him, and soon she started chattering about other things.
"By the way, brother, why did you go to see the captain?"
Could it be that he wanted to go to the team leader and ask her if she was being obedient in the team and if she was causing any trouble?
When she thought of this, Meng Yinyin felt inexplicably guilty.
Although she really wasn't very good at doing housework at home, it was still embarrassing for others to see those odd work points.
Especially since the person she saw was her brother, she would definitely take the opportunity to teach her a lesson!
Meng Yinyin was filled with anxiety.
This reaction time was too long, Meng Xuan was too lazy to answer her question.
At the same time, she couldn't help but sigh again that it was really a miracle that she was not deceived on her way from home to the unfamiliar Nanjiao Brigade.
"Lead the way honestly!" Meng Xuan collected his thoughts and spoke in a calm voice.
"oh……"
Meng Yinyin snorted angrily and didn't want to talk to him anymore.
The result of not saying anything was that the two of them quickly found the captain.
The captain was working in the fields with everyone at the moment. When he saw Meng Yinyin waving at him on the shore, and a strange man in military uniform standing beside her, the captain hurried to the shore.
"Meng Zhiqing, this person is your relative, right?"
Someone had just told him about the encounter with strange soldiers, so the captain did not seem very surprised by Meng Xuan's appearance.
Meng Yinyin nodded. She was still angry, but she finally introduced Meng Xuan honestly.
"Yes, Captain, this is my brother Meng Xuan."
It’s actually her brother?
"Hey, hello, Comrade Meng. Hello! Are you here to ask about the educated youth Meng?"
After a simple greeting, the captain naturally thought that he came to inquire about Meng Yinyin's situation here.
However, Meng Xuan shook his head and explained.
"Captain, I'm not here to see you about her."
“Ah, that’s…?”
Facing the captain's doubts, Meng Xuan spoke calmly.
"I came to ask you about Lu Chen's situation."
