Chapter 1809: Why Have You Become So Conservative Today?

In this way, she would lower the other party's expectations of her.

Even if she failed in the end, Wei Yangyang would not be too embarrassed.

But after hearing this, Deng Yunhai's expression turned serious, and he said very earnestly, "You, don't call yourself stupid anymore in the future."

Such a reaction... exceeded Wei Yangyang's expectations.

She was stunned for two or three seconds before asking, "Why can't I say it?"

"Because you aren't stupid, and the things you want to do well, you will succeed at."

Deng Yunhai and Wei Yangyang could not be considered close.

That sentence just now was very likely just him being polite.

But...

Even so, it could not stop Wei Yangyang's heart from gradually being filled with warmth.

The corners of Wei Yangyang's mouth curled up again.

This time, her smile came from the heart.

She even plucked up the courage to set a time with Deng Yunhai to go work out together...

The two of them were chatting away enthusiastically.

Xie Wanyi, however, stood there like a piece of background scenery.

After watching boredly for a while, he took out his phone and sent a message to Jiang Motian:

This friend of yours is really good at this.

On the other side, Jiang Motian was in a state of high alert.

As soon as she heard her phone ring, she quickly took it out to look.

It's just that...

Why did Xie Wanyi only send half a message? What is Yangyang good at?

Jiang Motian couldn't help but frown, preparing to reply to ask.

But at this moment, Li Moning walked over happily from not far away.

She even invited Jiang Motian, "Stop playing on your phone and come play on the big slide with me!"

Jiang Motian looked up at the slide that was three stories high...

She felt dizzy!

Jiang Motian quickly withdrew her gaze, calmed herself down, and then refused, "That's too intense, I can't handle it."

"Oh, don't be such a killjoy!"

"I really can't, you go ahead, I'll stay down here and snap all sorts of beautiful photos of you!"

The trade-off Jiang Motian proposed was quite tempting.

Li Moning only hesitated for a moment before conceding, "Alright then, remember to take beautiful photos of me."

"Don't worry, I definitely will!"

After the sisters made their agreement, Li Moning went to line up by herself.

Meanwhile, Jiang Motian used her peripheral vision to glance at Li Xingyan nearby.

Ever since Li Xingyan came in, he hadn't played or looked at his phone; he just sat upright on the lounge chair with his arms crossed.

If someone said he was a cardboard cutout, people would probably believe it!

But Jiang Motian was curious: wouldn't he be bored?

In the end, Jiang Motian couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart and asked Li Xingyan, "Do you plan on just sitting there the whole time?"

"Yeah, the view is good here, it's convenient for observing."

"Hmph, it's also convenient for others to observe you."

Li Xingyan was wearing swimming trunks, which was fine.

But his upper body... was actually wearing a white T-shirt!

That was the problem!

No matter how Jiang Motian looked at it, it was an eyesore.

Finally, she couldn't stand it and said, "Just take off that T-shirt, it looks very strange."

"I think it's stranger if I take it off."

"Why?"

After Jiang Motian asked, she thought of something.

And what she thought of made even her feel it was incredible: "You wouldn't happen to be... shy about showing your upper body, would you?"

"It's not being shy, I'm just not used to it."

Li Xingyan's correction lacked any force.

Jiang Motian's brain still attributed Li Xingyan's behavior to: shyness!

But that wasn't right either!

Jiang Motian said with a puzzled look, "It's not like you've never been swimming before, why have you become so conservative today?"

"Alright, go play your own game, you don't need to evaluate me!"

The way he said that.

Did Jiang Motian not want to play?

She had a mission to carry out, so she couldn't play!

With a helpless sigh, Jiang Motian opened her mouth and found an excuse: "It's a bit sunny over there; sitting here is quite nice."

"Mm, I think so too."

The two siblings were rarely in such sync.

Yet inside, they were each harboring their own thoughts.

That look of being lost in thought was truly out of place in this happy and noisy world...

However, because the two of them were so devastatingly good-looking, they still attracted quite a bit of attention.

A bold young woman walked over and asked, "Are you two a couple?"

Jiang Motian shook her head and denied it: "No."

No?

That was good.

The girl smiled, raised her phone, and invited him enthusiastically: "Then, sir, let's add each other on WeChat."

"No."

Li Xingyan refused very bluntly, leaving the girl quite embarrassed.

But well, handsome men always have a bit of a temper.

The girl processed the negative situation herself, smiled, and made another move: "Refusing a girl like that isn't very gentlemanly, you know."

"In my dictionary, refusing to be ambiguous with irrelevant women is the gentlemanly thing to do."

This answer...

It was truly too righteous.

Jiang Motian endured and endured.

But she still couldn't hold it in and laughed out loud.

The woman was already annoyed from being rebuffed.

Now that she heard someone daring to mock her...

She immediately turned her head and demanded: "Is it that funny!"

"Isn't it funny? It feels like when you two are communicating, you're not even on the same channel."

"Then what is his channel?"

"Him..." Jiang Motian drew out her voice, then said, "He just doesn't like women."

Actually, what Jiang Motian said was the truth.

Li Xingyan only liked work.

But at this moment, in this situation...

These words were very easy to misunderstand!

The woman who had come to hit on him misunderstood.

She was no longer angry, but instead looked Li Xingyan up and down.

Finally, she said with regret: "As expected, high-quality men are all meant for other men!"

After saying this, the woman shook her head and left.

As for Li Xingyan, it took him a moment to react and understand what was going on.

The truth made him glare at Jiang Motian with an unpleasant expression.

Jiang Motian quickly put away her schadenfreude and said with an innocent face: "Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't spread any rumors!"

"Playing word games, are you? Fine, let's have a contest."

Seeing that Li Xingyan was about to get serious, Jiang Motian hurriedly conceded: "Don't compete, I surrender!"

You want to surrender now?

Too late!

Li Xingyan crossed his arms and completely ignored Jiang Motian.

This made Jiang Motian panic.

She wanted to say something nice to coax her brother.

But another woman came to hit on Li Xingyan.

This woman was more direct than the last one, opening her mouth to invite him: "Handsome, shall we go over there and have some fun together?"

Li Xingyan said without looking away: "My family is here, it's not convenient."

Family?

The woman looked at Jiang Motian, then her expression fell: "You're already married!?"

"No, no, I'm his younger sister!"

Jiang Motian felt a bit weary, but still explained with a kind smile.

Hearing her words, the woman relaxed.

And Li Xingyan... he smiled.

This smile was like an iceberg beginning to melt.

It left the woman who had come to hit on him stunned!

Under her unblinking stare, Li Xingyan opened his mouth and said: "Right, she is my sister, a very close sister, or for short... a 'dear sister'."

Li Xingyan usually spoke in a crisp and direct manner.

But now?

Delicate, affected!

And convoluted!

It made Jiang Motian's scalp tingle!

Jiang Motian couldn't take it and turned her head away.

And with this turn of her head, Jiang Motian discovered...
