“You…” Yao Na looked at Qin Zhao, her face clearly showing her heartache: “Don’t overthink it. Lili definitely didn’t mean to keep those memories from you. After all, they weren’t good memories for her. It’s not that she didn’t consider you her closest person.”
Oh!
That's really impressive.
Ostensibly, it was meant to comfort him, but it was actually an implication that Chun-Li didn't consider him her closest person.
Fortunately, he was just a fake. If he were real, wouldn't he have been so angry about her words that he started arguing with Chun-Li?
Furthermore, why is she looking at her brother-in-law with such a distressed expression, whom she has only known for two or three hours?
Qin Zhao sneered inwardly, but on the surface he wore an expression that said, "I'm very hurt, I've been stabbed in the heart." He lowered his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes obscuring the expression in them, like a wounded loyal dog, and responded softly, "Perhaps I'm not good enough."
Wang Dalong, Lin Yi, and the others standing nearby immediately erupted in anger.
This guy, this guy studied acting before the apocalypse, right?
How did they manage to create that expression of being hurt yet strong, gentle yet affectionate, and with a hint of self-doubt?
I'm impressed!
While Wang Dalong expressed his deep admiration for Qin Zhao's acting skills, Yao Na secretly smiled to herself.
Chun-Li must be very proud to have a boyfriend like that. He's so handsome and has dual-elemental superpowers at level eight. He brought him back specifically to show off in front of her, didn't he?
She wanted to see if Chunli would still be so arrogant after a while!
With a touch of smugness in her heart, Yao Na turned and went to Chi Xia's place, ready to play the role of a kind and generous older sister and call her ignorant younger sister to see their father, only to be told that Chunli had already left.
She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I was worried... never mind, I was overthinking it."
That kind of hesitation is most alluring, and Chi Xia pretended not to know: "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"It's nothing." Yao Na quickly shook her head: "It's just that Lili has become much more sensible since she went out."
Hearing this, Chi Xia laughed: "I believe you if you say others are sensible, but I don't believe you if you say Chunli is sensible. You don't know how much trouble her impulsive personality has caused us along the way. Fortunately, Qin Zhao always cleaned up her messes in the end, and he always protected her when she caused trouble."
Yao Na's eyes widened in surprise: "She...she's still like this?"
Chi Xia nodded: "She was just lucky to have met Qin Zhao, otherwise..."
At this point, Chi Xia paused and said, "Never mind, let's not talk about it anymore. We're all on the same team, and we're used to it."
Yao Na glanced at Chi Xia and saw the disdain in her eyes. She sighed and said, "Lili has always been like this since she was little. You've all had a hard time these past few days."
Chi Xia looked at her and sighed as well: "It's okay. Who told her to be Qin Zhao's person? Our whole team is clinging to Qin Zhao and Han Junche's coattails. As long as Qin Zhao still likes her and is willing to protect her, we can only keep our opinions to ourselves."
After saying this, Chi Xia exclaimed, covered her mouth, glanced cautiously at Yao Na, then lowered her hand and whispered, "I almost forgot that you are Chunli's older sister. I told you so much, so please don't take it to heart. Chunli is very good when she's in a good mood."
Yao Na smiled and shook her head: "It's okay. I've lived with her for nearly twenty years. I know what kind of person she is."
