Chapter 49: Brother Zhe, don't! ????

Due to cerebral hypoxia, Ye Qingfeng felt dizzy and lightheaded. Added to the constant stream of notifications ringing in his mind, his head was spinning.

"Ling... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pin you down."

Ye Qingfeng struggled to stand up, his footsteps unsteady and his body swaying as if a gentle breeze could easily blow him over.

"It's fine!"

Ling felt the weight on her disappear and a flash of hard-to-detect attachment crossed her eyes.

If only Qingfeng could pin me down on purpose!! Wouldn't that be even better! (?????)

"That... Zhe, are you okay..." Seeing that Ling didn't mind the contact, Ye Qingfeng remembered Zhe, who had fallen to the ground with serious injuries, and turned to look in his direction.

(I am the legendary Ropecraft Master Phaethon, and I have fallen with serious injuries...)

Zhe, who had just been struck in the waist by a heavy punch from Ling, looked at him as if nothing had happened.

It was just that Zhe's gaze made Ye Qingfeng feel a strange chill. "Uh... as long as you're okay..."

"It's all Brother's fault!" Ling hopped to Ye Qingfeng's side like a little rabbit and glared fiercely at Zhe. "You kept covering Qingfeng's mouth and wouldn't let go. I was just desperate to save him; it hurt my heart to punch him!"

Worried that Ye Qingfeng might think she was a violent person, Ling hurriedly explained, hoping to leave a good impression on him.

"I'm fine, Qingfeng..."

Zhe completely ignored the fierce glare Ling was shooting at him from beside Ye Qingfeng; he only knew that he had just been concerned about him!

Thinking of this, Zhe's eyes unconsciously softened. "By the way, Qingfeng! I saved a documentary I've wanted to watch for a long time. Let's watch it together in a bit!"

"Wait a second! Qingfeng should watch that romance movie that just came out recently with me!!"

Hearing Zhe's plan to snatch Ye Qingfeng away from her, Ling immediately refused. She reached out to hug his arm to assert her dominance, not forgetting to cast a provocative look at her brother.

"Qingfeng, you'll agree to me! Right!"

Ling tugged on Ye Qingfeng's arm, and after he looked over, she immediately blinked her big, watery eyes while pouting her pink, tender lips.

So cute!

Ye Qingfeng's gaze was instantly drawn to Ling. Her bright, watery eyes were filled with longing, and her pouted lips were like ripe cherries—plump and alluring.

Seeing that she had successfully captured Ye Qingfeng's attention, Ling immediately chose to press her advantage. She always felt that the way her brother looked at him just now was very wrong!

"Won't you~ Brother Qingfeng~~!"

Ling hugged Ye Qingfeng's arm tighter with both arms, intentionally pitching her voice higher.

Ye Qingfeng's little heart trembled violently. A wave of warmth quickly traveled through his clothes, and a tingling sensation shot up his arm.

There was also Ling's soft, glutinous voice, carrying just the right amount of sweetness, like a spoiled milk cat gently scratching at one's heart.

"Wait a minute!!"

He opened his mouth, just about to agree, when he was interrupted by a loud shout from Zhe.

"Qingfeng definitely wants to watch the documentary with me!"

Zhe took a step forward and grabbed Ye Qingfeng's other wrist, attempting to pull him away from Ling's side.

"That's not right! Qingfeng wouldn't watch a documentary! He'll definitely watch the romance movie with me!"

Feeling Zhe's deep hostility and sensing Ye Qingfeng slowly leaning toward her, Ling hurriedly reached out to grab his forearm and pulled hard.

"What's so good about a romance movie!"

Zhe, unwilling to fall behind, increased his strength.

"Documentaries are the best! Those are so boring!"

Ling put all her strength into pulling Ye Qingfeng toward her side.

Seeing that neither could gain the upper hand, they both looked at Ye Qingfeng, though the force in their hands didn't diminish in the slightest.

Ye Qingfeng turned his head to look at Ling, then turned to look at Zhe.

He couldn't help but feel a headache coming on. At a time like this, no matter who he agreed to, he would be in the wrong!

And he always felt like something was a bit off...

This scene inexplicably made him feel a sense of familiarity... wasn't this exactly what it was like when he first met Mao You!

He hadn't even activated his Animal Charm Body! And these two weren't even Thiren!

Feeling the force from both sides increasing, it was clear that Ye Qingfeng didn't have much time left.

He tentatively asked, "Um... how about we watch a romantic documentary together?"

"No!"

"No!"

The brother and sister, Ling and Zhe, shouted in unison.

The next second, they both shot fierce glares at each other.

"Only if Qingfeng agrees to be with me! That's fine! But the three of us together won't work!!"

"That's right, that's right!"

Zhe chimed in.

Ye Qingfeng felt helpless. Why did this pair of siblings suddenly become so in sync at this moment?

"Um..."

Distracted by their commotion, Ye Qingfeng almost forgot the original purpose. "I came to get the things I left here earlier, and by the way, I wanted to invite you all to have dinner at the Rabbit House..."

"Not going!"

"Qingfeng, tell us who you want to be with first!"

Ye Qingfeng helplessly pursed his lips. "I'm cooking."

"Let's go! I've already got everything packed!"

Zhe dashed into the room and, in a moment's time, ran back to Ye Qingfeng carrying two bags.

"I'll drive! Hurry up!"

Ling stood behind the video store with the car keys in her hand, looking at Ye Qingfeng.

But it's great that the two of them stopped arguing!

He could understand a little girl like Ling acting this way, but why was Zhe like this too!

Ye Qingfeng really suspected that Zhe and Ling had Thiren blood; otherwise, how could it be the same situation as when he met Mao You?

It's just that it wasn't as... extreme as Mao You?

Maybe it was because the Animal Charm Body was turned off...

One person was fine... but with both of them together, he really couldn't handle it!

In the future, he should spend less time with this pair of siblings; it was too torturous!

"Then let's go..."

Ye Qingfeng, feeling somewhat listless, followed Ling into the car. After Zhe put the things in the trunk, they unsurprisingly started arguing again.

"Since my sister said you're driving, I'll sit in the back with Qingfeng!"

"I suddenly remembered my driving skills aren't great, so Brother should drive instead!"

So troublesome! These two!

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't know how to drive, he would have driven himself.

"Then you go sit in the back!" Ling ran to Ye Qingfeng's side. "Qingfeng, why don't you drive~ I'll sit in the passenger seat and help you watch the traffic lights!"

"How can we let Qingfeng drive! I'll drive instead!" Zhe snatched the keys from Ling's hand. "It's more comfortable for Qingfeng to sit in the passenger seat!"

"Zhe, you drive..." Ye Qingfeng was driven to the verge of a nervous breakdown by these two. He opened the back door himself. "Ling, is it okay if you sit in the passenger seat?"

"No problem!"

Zhe slipped into the driver's seat in a flash.

"Okay~!" Ling sat in the passenger seat. "Drive steadily later! Don't let Qingfeng get carsick!"

Ye Qingfeng just wanted to rest quietly for a while now. He closed his eyes and emptied his mind as much as possible.

Seeing this, Zhe and Ling both quieted down, and the vehicle moved steadily toward the Rabbit House.

This farce had finally come to an end, and Xiao Zhi, who had witnessed the whole process through Ye Qingfeng's perspective, fell into deep silence.

She glanced at the 60% favorability Zhe and Ling had for Ye Qingfeng and silently erased the settings she had previously added to the two, though she did retain a little bit on Ling.

It was mainly because she really didn't want to see what happened between Ling and Ye Qingfeng later...
