Chapter 48

"Actually, I was lying to you." Seeing his sister acting shamelessly, Zhe's mouth twitched slightly. "I didn't send it to Qingfeng, and I didn't record it."

"Really?!" Ling looked at Zhe with her bright, watery eyes.

"Really..."

Zhe sighed helplessly and nodded at the same time. His original intention was to tease Ling and see if he could distract her.

After all, when Ling had just woken up, she looked like she was in very poor spirits...

The result was very successful! But he hadn't expected his sister to react so strongly! Truly, a girl grown is hard to keep...

"That's good!" Ling reached out and patted her chest, which was already beginning to take shape, and let out a long sigh of relief. Her face, which had been crying just a moment ago, instantly transformed into one of relief after surviving a disaster.

"Brother actually scared such a cute sister!" Ling looked at Zhe with a smile, her eyes curving into crescent moons, as if she were full of goodwill toward everything around her. "Don't you think there should be some compensation?"

A drop of cold sweat fell from Zhe's forehead. Based on his understanding of Ling, hidden behind that kind and amiable smile was a razor-sharp blade.

If he didn't go along with Ling at this moment, he was certain that something bad would definitely happen.

"Th... that's for sure!" Zhe swallowed hard. "I can compensate you for anything!"

"Alright then, I forgive you, Brother!"

Just as Ling's words fell, the chill behind Zhe slowly dissipated.

Ling sat up abruptly and dashed to Zhe's side, signaling for him to lean down.

"In a while, when Qingfeng and the others come over, we'll do this &……￥#%…@#&…￥#" After saying a whole lot, Ling immediately took a deep breath and continued with a wicked grin: "By then, I'll be able to... %#@&@%%&!"

"But..."

"Hmm?!" Ling threatened him with a super fierce look.

Zhe instantly gave Ling a military salute. "I guarantee I will follow the commander's instructions!"

"OK! Now we just have to wait for Qingfeng to come over!" Ling walked to the computer desk and sat down. Thinking about what they were going to do in a while, she couldn't help but burst into loud laughter. "Yi hahahaha! Hahaha!"

"That... sister..." Watching Ling suddenly emit a perverted laugh, Zhe felt helpless in his heart, but he still spoke up: "Qingfeng and the others just left... and Nicole said she'd pay the debt next time."

"Wh... what!" Ling sprang up and looked at Zhe in disbelief, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the second half of his sentence. "It's fine! Then there's still a chance!"

Watching Ling, who remained persistent, Zhe felt an even deeper sense of helplessness.

At the same time, Ye Qingfeng, who had strongly refused Nicole's offer to drive him back, was walking down the street alone when he suddenly shivered.

He crossed his arms and rubbed them. "I've had a bad feeling ever since just now."

"Right!"

Ye Qingfeng suddenly remembered he had forgotten something; he still had two bags of ingredients left in the video store.

He had previously invited them to have dinner together and mentioned going to the Rabbit House, but he didn't know if Ling had woken up yet.

Her condition at the time was quite worrying; her body wouldn't stop twitching, and from time to time she would make sounds he couldn't understand.

Ye Qingfeng immediately turned around and headed back the way he came. Fortunately, he hadn't gone too far and returned to the video store. Without much thought, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

This time, he didn't have to wait long. The door was opened from the inside by Zhe, who poked his head out vigilantly.

"Yo, Zhe, I came to get..."

Before Ye Qingfeng could finish his sentence, his mouth was covered by a terrified-looking Zhe. Zhe glanced cautiously at a certain tightly closed door, slowly turned his head, and lowered his voice:

"Qingfeng, no matter what you have to do right now! Get out of here quickly!"

"Mmph mmph mmph! (Behind you!)"

What Zhe understood was: Why!

"Believe me! If you are seen by Ling, something very terrifying will happen." Zhe took a deep breath and said solemnly: "For the next little while, absolutely do not come to the video store alone. If you must come, remember to bring Nicole along, otherwise I can't help you!"

"Mmph mmph mmph mmph! (Look behind you!) Mmph mmph mmph mmph mmph mmph mmph mmph mmph (Ling is looking at you with murderous intent!)"

What Zhe understood was: I understand! I'll leave here right away?

Hmm? Why is there a word missing?

That's impossible! With the rapport between me and Qingfeng, how could I not translate his meaning!

Zhe furrowed his brows and immediately fell into deep thought. Not only did he not let go of Ye Qingfeng's mouth, but he covered it even tighter.

"Mmph mmph mmph! Mmph mmph! (Can't! Breathe!)"

Ye Qingfeng was almost crying. If you want to talk, talk, why cover his mouth! And if you're going to cover it, why cover his nose too!

Why did he cover it even tighter!

Zhe had no heart to think about why Ye Qingfeng's face was getting redder; he only wanted to guess his meaning to prove their rapport.

Wait! Blushing?

Zhe remembered! When he and his sister watched romance movies before, the male lead would cover the female lead's mouth just like this.

Could it be! Does Qingfeng actually like him?!

But he only wanted to be good brothers with him, and this kind of thing was too bold!

He couldn't just let the brother-in-law he saw be...

That would be letting Ling down!

However...

Feeling the heat from his palm, Zhe looked at the flushed Ye Qingfeng in front of him.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated uncontrollably. Could it be that this is...

【Beep beep beep! Zhe's favorability increased consecutively by 10%, 5%, 5%】

【Zhe's current favorability: 50%】

【Reward: two lottery chances!】

"Brother—! Brother~!"

Suddenly, Ling's voice, like a demon's whisper, reached his ears. Before he could act, a heavy punch struck his waist fiercely.

He subconsciously released his palm from Ye Qingfeng's mouth and staggered backward uncontrollably.

Ye Qingfeng finally managed to breathe after holding his breath for who knows how long, and the flush on his cheeks faded as he wished.

Ye Qingfeng gasped for air, his legs went weak, and he couldn't stop staggering backward, every step looking as if he were about to fall to the ground.

Ling, as if she had been prepared, rushed to Ye Qingfeng's side, grabbed the arm of the falling Ye Qingfeng, and pulled him toward her with force.

Ye Qingfeng fell into her arms as she wished. Feeling his weight pressing against her, the weight that was heavy for her made her feel very secure. A scent full of male hormones filled the space around her, rushing into her nasal cavity like a tide.

There was also the heat from his breathing, which beat against her neck over and over again.

Ling's heartbeat was like a group of startled deer, crashing around in her narrow chest, causing her breathing to become disordered as well.

Qingfeng is so hot! And he smells so good!

Mmm~!!

She felt Qingfeng's aura enveloping her, making her sense of security multiply instantly.

Hehe... Qingfeng! Qingfeng~!

Ling couldn't suppress the corners of her mouth from turning upward at this moment, and her heart was also enveloped by surging evil thoughts.

【Beep beep beep!! Ling's favorability increased consecutively by 10%, 5%, 5%】

【Ling's current favorability: 65%】

【Reward: 5 lottery chances!】
