Chapter 1810: Sibling Affection vs. Romantic Love
After the incident occurred, he did not have time to think before his superiors assigned him a glorious mission; once that mission was completed, the image and smile of Meiyin floated before his eyes again.
He had not expected this; it was very surprising.
His feelings for Meiyin had always been those of an older brother for a younger sister; there were no other feelings.
Suddenly, this relationship was broken and had changed in nature; now he was somewhat hesitant and did not know what to do.
Hide—that seemed to be the best method.
On this point, he and Meiyin saw eye to eye; both of them wanted to escape reality.
Meiyin locked herself in her room, and the couple Shi Yuke and her husband were at their wits' end.
But Yulong had nowhere to hide.
He could avoid answering calls from his foster parents, but his biological mother had come.
"Zhang Yulong, get out here! If you don't come out, I'm coming in!" his biological mother shouted from below the dormitory; the windows of the dormitory building opened one after another, and students looked down from the balconies.
Damn it!
He couldn't hide; even wanting to pretend he couldn't hear her wouldn't work, as he knew his biological mother's capabilities.
He pushed open the window and said irritably, "I'm coming down, stop howling."
Yulong walked out of the dormitory dejectedly, and Nianyin immediately pulled him over to ask, "Hey, I heard you and Meiyin kissed passionately in front of the whole village; is it true or false?"
She had a curious expression, incredibly gossipy.
"It's true," Yulong said irritably.
There was no need to lie about such things; his mother had already chased him to the dormitory building, which meant she knew everything, and since so many people had seen it, it would be useless to lie.
"Great! When do you two plan to get married? Where are you buying a house? Or just come back and live here; you two spent your childhood accompanying that couple, and now that you've grown up, it would be quite nice to come back and accompany us..."
His biological mother was overthinking, and he had to stop her immediately.
"Stop, stop!"
Yulong called for a halt.
He said irritably, "What is all this? Don't meddle in my affairs."
"Of course I have to meddle; you meddle in mine, so why can't I meddle in yours?"
Yulong:...
He could only explain, "That was a misunderstanding; we were both drinking at the time, it doesn't count."
"What, what?"
Nianyin widened her eyes; she caught the drift: "Are you saying you don't want to take responsibility for Meiyin at all, right?"
"It's not about responsibility; we are brother and sister..."
"You scumbag, what brother and sister if there's no blood relation? I don't care; anyway, since you kissed her, you have to marry her. It's settled. I'm going to Chen Family Village right now to discuss your wedding."
Yulong:...
"You are not allowed to go; stop causing trouble, can you?"
"No, I know you young people are shy; I'll help you, no need to be shy, haha."
She left as soon as she finished speaking, arriving like lightning and leaving like the wind—that was just how swift she was.
Chen Family Village.
Nianyin and Lao Qi arrived, but Meiyin had not yet come out of her room.
It had already been a day and a half, and the couple was incredibly anxious.
"Why are you here?"
"To discuss the wedding."
"The wedding?"
"That's right, don't you agree?"
Shi Yuke was the first to react; she smiled and asked Gu Zhihao to prepare a meal, then invited the couple Nianyin to sit down and spoke her mind directly.
"I agree, how could I not agree?"
"Meiyin, come out quickly; your father and mother are here to discuss your wedding with Yulong."
This sentence was more effective than anything else; the bedroom door finally made a sound, and Meiyin came out.
Her little face was still flushed: "Mother, Father."
"Come, daughter, sit by my side."
Nianyin held Meiyin's hand, becoming more delighted the more she looked at her.
She was already a daughter, and now she was a daughter plus a daughter-in-law; she was very satisfied with this change in status.
Isn't this better than girls from the outside?
Knowing everything about her background.
She was not the type to be tactful, so she asked straightforwardly, "Meiyin, we all agree on the matter between you and Yulong; when do you plan to get married?"
"Oh my, I haven't thought about it..."
"Look, the girl is still shy; what is there to be shy about? How about this: you continue your studies as usual, and I'll take care of this matter; you don't need to worry about it..."
Nianyin took full responsibility for it.
She told Meiyin to go about her business, and the two families prepared to hold an engagement for the two children.
For such a big event as an engagement, Zhang Yulong was kept completely in the dark until his younger brother called him to let him know.
"What, an engagement? With whom?"
"Who else could it be? With my sister, of course; you haven't gone silly with joy, have you..."
It really wasn't that.
"Nonsense, what is all this? It's completely unrelated."
He knew that hiding was no longer a solution, so he hurriedly returned home to stop it.
If he couldn't make his biological mother understand, then he would talk to his adoptive parents; they were still reasonable people.
"Mom, Dad, you can't let me get engaged to Nianyin. We haven't even graduated from undergraduate studies yet; it's too early to talk about this now."
"You didn't know about this?" Shi Yuke widened her eyes in astonishment; she had assumed Yulong knew, and it was a huge misunderstanding.
"Mom, I really didn't know about this. As for Nianyin... that was because we had too much to drink, so it doesn't count. My feelings for Nianyin have always been those of an older brother for a younger sister!"
Having finally spoken his true feelings, he felt relieved.
But his father, Gu Zhihao, plopped down onto the floor: "What are we going to do now?"
"Everyone knows about it now; we've lost so much face."
He offered an idea: "How about you just get engaged first, and talk about it later?"
Heads may be broken and blood may flow, but the Gu Family cannot lose face.
"No."
Yulong shook his head like a rattle-drum: "How can such a matter be treated as child's play? I will go find Nianyin and explain it clearly."
Nianyin stood behind him with a pale face: "No need to explain. I understand what you mean. Rest assured, I won't pester you."
She ran outside as soon as she finished speaking.
Yulong hurriedly chased after her. He wanted to explain, but was rejected by Nianyin: "You don't need to explain. Leave me some dignity. I know it was all my own wishful thinking. I'm sorry, I won't pester you anymore in the future. You go."
She was crying very sadly, and Yulong was also very upset, but Nianyin didn't want to listen to anything he said.
She only told him not to worry, that she was fine, and that she would resolve the subsequent issues herself, telling him not to have any psychological burden.
"Are you really okay?"
"Mm, I'm fine, don't worry. Things are just as you said; we were both drinking at the time, and drinking too much doesn't count."
She kept her word, and just as she had said, she found her mother to propose the cancellation of the engagement.
"Why? Is it that brat Zhang Yulong who doesn't agree?"
Nianyin shook her head and forced a smile: "I changed my mind. I'm preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, and this is a critical stage for review. Getting engaged would affect my studies."
"Is it really like that?"
"Mm, it really is like that."
Nianyin was thick-skinned and simple-minded; she didn't suspect that Nianyin was lying to her, mainly because she didn't think there was any need for her to lie about this.
"Fine, then I won't make the arrangements anymore. I went through all that trouble for nothing."
Nianyin returned to school and didn't go home for a long time.
When asked, it was because she was reviewing her lessons; she really threw herself into her studies and never took the initiative to call Yulong.
