The sound of "Second Brother, Third Brother" made Zhu Qian and Zhu Ning feel completely at ease.
"Eh..." The two brothers squinted their eyes, their response sounding somewhat affected.
Zhu Qian: "Shi Jing is here, come and sit down."
Shi Jing nodded and respectfully stepped forward to hand the gifts in his hands to Zhu Qian and Zhu Ning: "It's just a small token of my appreciation, and I hope my second and third brothers won't find it offensive."
"No problem, no problem." Zhu Qian quickly took the things from his hands, while Zhu Ning pulled his arm and led him to sit down next to her.
"You, you're here, why did you bring a gift..."
Shi Jing, unlike his usual casual self, sat obediently next to Zhu Ning: "It's only right."
"Second Brother, Third Brother." Jiang Jingwen then came in, forcing a smile as she stood next to Zhu Mingyue.
Zhu Qian gently replied, "Xiao Jiang is here too. We're all acquaintances, so please find a place to sit."
Jiang Jingwen: "Okay."
Then he pulled Li Weiwan and dragged him into the living room.
Zhu Mingyue immediately introduced, "Second Brother, Third Brother, this is Li Weiwan, the popular national movie star."
Li Weiwan nodded politely to them: "Hello."
He was older than Zhu Qian and Zhu Ning, so he didn't call them "second brother" or "third brother" like Zhu Mingyue did.
"Hello." Zhu Qian stood up from the sofa and extended his hand to Li Weiwan. "Welcome to the Zhu family."
Li Weiwan quickly stepped forward, extended her right hand, and shook hands with Zhu Qian: "Thank you."
Zhu Ning followed suit and shook hands with Li Weiwan, saying, "Welcome, welcome."
Li Weiwan: "Sorry to bother you."
After some polite greetings, everyone sat down on the sofa.
"Shi Jing, I heard from Mingyue that you came to the Zhu family this time to talk to us about you and Chaochao?" Zhu Qian adjusted his glasses and asked with some excitement.
Shi Jing nodded: "Yes, the reason I came here today is to talk to my second and third brothers about my relationship with Chaochao."
"What's wrong?" Zhu Ning nervously rubbed her hands together, her face full of gossip.
Shi Jing paused, gathering her courage slightly, and then asked, "Second Brother, Third Brother, if I said I liked Chaochao, would you agree?"
Time was of the essence, so he didn't beat around the bush. Seeing that Zhu Qian and Zhu Ning were friendly to him, he directly stated his purpose.
“I like it…” Upon hearing this, Zhu Qian subconsciously exchanged a glance with Zhu Ning, and unsurprisingly, they both saw fervent joy in each other’s eyes.
"...Of course we agree! Why wouldn't we agree!" the two brothers answered in unison.
Such a warm response was beyond Shi Jing's expectations. Shi Jing was slightly taken aback, and after a moment, a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
Zhu Qian looked at him gently, with an expression that said, "I knew it": "Shi Jing, do you really like our Chaochao?"
"I like her." Shi Jing's eyes were firm, and his expression was serious. "I really like Chaochao."
"You have a good eye!" Zhu Qian couldn't help but praise, "I knew you had a good eye!"
"And what about you?" Zhu Ning, who had mistakenly shipped the wrong couple, turned to look at Li Weiwan. "Do you like Chaochao?"
“…Huh?” Li Weiwan was stunned by his question.
He chuckled foolishly and said, "What? Didn't you come here to confess your feelings to Chaochao?"
"Tsk, what nonsense are you spouting?" Zhu Qian kicked him, warning him in a grimacing voice, "Mr. Li is just a visitor, so shut your mouth and don't say anything out of line!"
"...How did I say anything wrong?" Zhu Ning was still confused about what she did wrong after being kicked, and she said confidently, "I watched Li Weiwan's performance on the show, he definitely likes Chaochao too! I've been shipping 'The moon is beautiful tonight' for days!"
"I...I'll kowtow to you!" Zhu Qian kicked him again.
"Cough..." Li coughed deliberately, his cheeks slightly flushed.
Zhu Mingyue and Jiang Jingwen sat to the side watching the commotion, their gossipy and perverted gazes shifting back and forth between the group.
Unable to bear the scrutiny, Zhu Qian kicked Zhu Ning a third time in a fit of rage: "You idiot, have you ever seen any rivals in love come to visit each other so harmoniously in the same car?"
"...Huh?" Zhu Ning was stunned for a moment, then realized something was wrong. "Oh, right."
"..." Zhu Qian rolled her eyes at him, exasperated. "No more shipping couples randomly in the future!"
Zhu Ning glanced at Li Weiwan: "...Oh."
“Um… those couples on the internet are all misunderstandings.” Li Weiwan then explained, “Jinzhao and I are just good friends. The only person who truly likes Jinzhao is Shijing. I was just accompanying Shijing to visit as a friend today.”
"Okay." Zhu Ning grinned. "Sorry, I made a mistake."
Li Weiwan: "It's alright, let's continue listening to Shi Jing."
The group's attention then returned to Shi Jing.
"Ahem..." Shi Jing cleared his throat and asked again, "Second Brother, Third Brother, if I said I wanted to be Chaochao's boyfriend, would you two agree?"
"Of course we agree! Why wouldn't we agree?!" the two brothers answered in unison.
Zhu Ning: "You're handsome, from a good family, and you're very patient with our silly Chaochao. Of course we agree to you being with her."
Zhu Qian continued, "As long as you are sincere towards Chaochao, and you don't bully her or treat her coldly, then we will fully support you and Chaochao being together."
“OK.” Zhu Mingyue suddenly spoke up, “Both of my brothers have made their positions clear, Shi Jing, you can be honest now.”
"...Confess what?" Zhu Qian blinked blankly.
Shi Jing unconsciously sat up straight, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed: "It's like this, actually, Chaochao and I are already together."
Zhu Ning: "What?!"
Shi Jing: "Chao Chao and I have been together for four days now."
"...You're already together?!" Zhu Qian's eyes widened. "Really? You're not kidding us, are you?"
“It’s true.” Zhu Mingyue testified for Shi Jing, “They got together four days ago, and their relationship has long since changed from good friends to lovers.”
“Yes!” Jiang Jingwen agreed.
"Oh my god..." Zhu Qian exclaimed in surprise, never expecting that Shi Jing and Zhu Jinzhao were already secretly together.
"Well, you little brat, you acted first and asked for permission later, didn't you?" He nudged Shi Jing's shoulder, his words were reproachful, but his smile was excessively bright.
"Ah... no wonder you asked us those two questions, you were testing our attitude!" Zhu Ning finally realized.
Shi Jing smiled shyly, pursing her lips.
Zhu Ning raised her hand and warmly put her arm around his shoulder: "Since that's the case, then we won't stand on ceremony with you, future brother-in-law?"
"Yes!" Shi Jing obediently responded to the address, then abruptly changed the subject, "Second Brother, Third Brother, since you've accepted me as your brother-in-law, could you do me a small favor?"
"What kind of help do you need? Tell me." Zhu Qian agreed readily.
Shi Jing then revealed the real purpose of his sudden visit.
"Second Brother, Chaochao went abroad because she was sick, and I haven't been able to contact her for the past two days. I'm really worried about her. Could you please call Chaochao for me so I can talk to her?"
