Chapter 204: You Should Ask About Sisters-in-Law

Due to Flender's stinginess, Qin Jian and the others relied entirely on Oscar's Mushroom Sausage for flight that day, barely managing to keep up with Flender's speed.

They ran 500 kilometers in one day, covering a quarter of the total journey, which also achieved Flender's goal of saving money.

Fortunately, Flender wasn't so stingy as to make everyone sleep in the wilderness, and they finally settled down in a small town.

The so-called small town was actually just a relatively large village; the Shrek Academy group stayed in the only inn, which, although a bit crude, could barely be considered clean.

Flender fully utilized his talent for stinginess, requesting only three rooms in total: one for the teachers, one for the male students, and one for the female students.

And just as Qin Jian was preparing to rest, he was called out by Xiao Wu.

Under a large tree.

"Xiao Wu, is something the matter?" Qin Jian asked curiously.

Xiao Wu flicked her rabbit ears and said in a coquettish voice, "My legs are aching to death after walking all day today; help me massage my legs."

Qin Jian was full of question marks: "We flew here today, how could your legs be aching? Did you step on a Lemon Spirit?"

Xiao Wu immediately grabbed his right hand with both of hers and shook it: "I don't care, you help me massage my legs!"

Qin Jian shook his head helplessly, picked her up in a bridal carry, placed her on a tree trunk, and began to massage her legs.

Technician Qin Jian is online.

He had seen plenty of these kinds of tricks from girls; they had to act spoiled no matter what they were doing...

However, Xiao Wu was worthy of being a Rabbit; her legs were slender, powerful, and full of elasticity, and as he kneaded them, he really didn't know who was enjoying it more.

"When did Xiao Wu become so proactive?"

Not far away, the window of the girls' room opened quietly, revealing Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, those two Lemon Spirits.

Ning Rongrong listened to Zhu Zhuqing's words, her eyes narrowing slightly: "Zhuqing, do you think Xiao Wu might be the next one?"

"The next one? What next one?" Zhu Zhuqing asked, supporting her chest with her hands.

Ning Rongrong said: "Of course, the next love interest for Brother Jian!"

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze turned cold, but it softened the next moment: "If it's Xiao Wu, then that would be acceptable."

"That's true, she's probably considered him her dear brother in her heart long ago," Ning Rongrong pouted and said.

Qin Jian felt ashamed.

"I'll massage your shoulders..."

Xiao Wu said in a sweet voice, and without waiting for an answer, she hid behind Qin Jian and began to knead them quite awkwardly.

"Brother..."

Xiao Wu was behind him, the blush on her face finally fading a little: "In the future, if you have sisters-in-law, will you still treat me like this?"

Qin Jian nodded: "Of course I will."

Xiao Wu blinked her large eyes and suddenly asked: "Then who will be my sister-in-law? Rongrong or Zhuqing?"

The two Lemon Spirits by the window also pricked up their ears.

Qin Jian felt another death-trap question had been thrown at him.

Although he didn't know Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were eavesdropping, if he answered this kind of question casually, giving a different answer in front of each girl, he would definitely be doomed in the end.

So he had no choice but to be shameless.

"Xiao Wu, you shouldn't be asking about a sister-in-law, but sisters-in-law..." Qin Jian said with a chuckle.

Xiao Wu was dumbfounded.

The two Lemon Spirits by the window looked at each other, then turned their heads away at the same time and spat, their faces flushed: "Pah, shameless scumbag!"

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes and suddenly asked again: "Then who do you like the most?"

Another death-trap question!

The two Lemon Spirits' eyes lit up, and they pricked up their ears again.

Qin Jian smiled very calmly and said: "Liking is something where you can't distinguish who is more or less, because everyone has their strengths and their weaknesses. I might especially like this strength, but I might also dislike that weakness; how can one compare that?"

Xiao Wu's two rabbit eyes were spinning in circles.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing both snorted coldly at the same time, knowing he was just spouting nonsense.

But Xiao Wu wasn't so easy to fool; she immediately pressed on: "But I heard that to love someone is to love everything about them, and everyone's love is limited, so who do you love the most?"

A finishing move!

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing almost raised their hands to applaud and cheer for her.

Qin Jian remained very calm. While enjoying Xiao Wu's massage, he continued to spout nonsense: "I love everyone, without distinction of weight."

He received three pairs of big eye-rolls.

"You better answer my question properly, otherwise I'm going to give you an Eight-Stage Throw!" Xiao Wu said, half-coquettishly and half-threateningly.

Qin Jian wasn't afraid of her Eight-Stage Throw; as long as he was shameless enough to seize the opportunity to use Entanglement, he would be fine.

However, he still thought for a moment and said: "Xiao Wu, actually I have never believed in the saying that love is limited. Why can't love be infinite, as long as a person's heart is strong enough?"

"If family affection, romantic love, and friendship can be clearly distinguished and not affect each other, why can't love itself be the same?"

Qin Jian became more fluent as he spoke, convincing even himself: "If you all keep thinking that love is a whole cake, and if you cut a bigger piece for this person, there will be less for another, then my heart is a flower. Each petal can carry a portion of love, and each petal is inseparable."

To Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, these words naturally had no persuasive power, but it was different for Xiao Wu. She knew this was possible; after all, Qin Jian's true form was a Love Flower, so perhaps he really did have such a special ability?

As for whether he actually did, even Qin Jian himself didn't know...

"Alright, you should go rest early too; we have to continue our journey tomorrow."

Qin Jian held down Xiao Wu's hands that were massaging his shoulders.

"Okay."

Xiao Wu agreed and then returned to her own room.

Her heartbeat was accelerating, but a glimmer of hesitation flickered in the depths of her eyes.

She had always kept her mother's words in her heart, and she had always been hesitating about whether to get involved in Qin Jian's emotional world...

Returning to his dormitory, Qin Jian was somewhat surprised to find that Oscar and the other two were not yet asleep, and they were all looking at him with ambiguous smiles.

Oscar stood up from his bed, blinked his eyes at Qin Jian, and said in a coy, affected voice, "Who will be my sister-in-law? Zhuqing or Rongrong?"

"Oscar, your voice... are you a devil?" Qin Jian covered his face.

Ma Hongjun laughed and, imitating Qin Jian's voice, said, "Xiao Wu, you shouldn't be asking about a sister-in-law, but sisters-in-law."

Qin Jian was speechless with anger.

Fortunately, Tang San was a bit thinner-skinned and just chuckled, saying, "Qin Jian, that theory of yours about loving everyone is quite scummy... cough... quite interesting."

This was exactly like having college roommates who eavesdrop...

Qin Jian said irritably, "Go to sleep!"

Tang San, however, walked up and asked quite seriously, "Qin Jian, Xiao Wu is very special to you; what are your thoughts on that?"
