Chapter 28: with translation of chapter title

Since the last time Jiang Cheng borrowed his sister's car for a date, Su Peng's heart has been left with a dark cloud.

That day, his sister and Jiang Cheng were alone together in the same car.

That evening, the school forum exploded with photos of his sister on a date with a male student, walking into a private cinema.

This matter kept jumping back and forth in his heart, impossible to shake off!

Su Peng isn't worried about his sister finding a boyfriend; he can't bear her dating a yellow-haired punk—more directly, he's worried she'll run into a rebellious disciple who betrays his master!

This is something he cannot tolerate!

So when he heard his sister would participate in this team-building activity, his first reaction was that he definitely had to go and watch!

Old Jiang naturally became his first defensive target!

Fortunately, Old Jiang didn't come after all! Su Peng thought and thought, feeling somewhat sorry toward Jiang Cheng!

Old Jiang wouldn't deign to participate in such an activity, yet as his brother, I mistakenly thought Old Jiang would hit on my sister!

If Old Jiang really had designs on my sister, he couldn't possibly not come! 'I really deserve to die!'

…

The bus entered the main road, and its speed increased.

After about an hour and a bit, it arrived at the gate of the selected mountain villa for this event and stopped.

Most students were in high spirits, hadn't slept all the way, and as soon as the bus stopped they swarmed out.

Su Peng slept a while on the bus, then got off together with Deng Qi and Liu Tao, his gaze fixed on the first bus.

Deng Qi and Liu Tao's gazes also landed there, except Su Peng was looking at his sister Su Manyao on that bus.

Deng Qi and Liu Tao were just looking at legs—the Music Department girls have truly long, slender legs!

But after looking for a while, Su Peng furrowed his brow.

Given Su Peng's understanding, his sister's personality would have her among the first to get off after the bus arrived, but almost everyone had already disembarked and he still hadn't seen his sister.

"Wait here a moment, I'll go check." Su Peng said.

Deng Qi and Liu Tao immediately followed him, saying, "Don't go alone, let's go together—don't hog all the fun!"

"I'm looking for my sister!"

"Me too."

"Get lost!"

…

On the first bus.

Su Manyao really fell asleep, leaning on Jiang Cheng's shoulder.

The aloof Yujie, at this moment behaved like a little kitten—perhaps she slept uncomfortably on the bus, or perhaps she slept too soundly, occasionally twisting her waist to adjust her position.

As the bus arrived, students disembarked one after another; the Yujie still hadn't woken, Jiang Cheng saw she was surely tired and didn't want to disturb her… Well, to be frank, because they were seated nearest the door, everyone getting off could see them.

From those students' eyes, Jiang Cheng saw surprise and bewilderment.

So he just stayed still, looking, looking—go ahead, look all you want! Consider this your notice! This is the girlfriend I painstakingly met online; now you all see her leaning on my shoulder, don't harbor any designs! Actually, it's just that Jiang Cheng feels secure enough to dare think this!

For those boys in the Music Department, to have designs?

To have designs on Professor Su? Must be still half-asleep, sleepwalking!

Just being able to glance an extra couple of times is already a treat!

So when they got off the bus and saw Professor Su leaning on a male student's shoulder, they felt even more bewildered.

What's going on?

That must be a student from another class, right? Has the Big Dipper been reversed? There are about forty people on the bus, they've mostly all gotten off, and Jiang Cheng doesn't intend to push further; he plans to wake Su Manyao.

But just then, a head poked in from the front bus door—Su Peng.

Their eyes met!

Su Peng gasped, he really wanted to rush forward, but seeing the students who had gotten off staring at him strangely,

Su Peng instantly calmed down.

If he charged forward now, letting the bystanders watch the spectacle, various versions of rumors unfavorable to his sister would surely spread!

Having figured this out, Su Peng's face instantly broke into a smile, and he said to Jiang Cheng very friendly: "Old Jiang, quickly call my sister to get off—look how tired she is, good thing you're letting her lean on you to sleep a bit."

The students getting off nearby looked at Su Peng, then at Su Manyao and Jiang Cheng, and felt something was off.

But looking again, it seemed nothing was wrong—it was Professor Su's younger brother, asking his friend to look after his sister.

Jiang Cheng's scalp went numb; he had just been enjoying himself, not—just been sending out the notice, and hadn't considered that his good brother Su Peng might show up.

At that moment, Deng Qi's head also popped out from beside the side door; seeing the scene before him, he was dumbfounded.

Old Jiang really pulled it off?! Awesome!

Liu Tao stood behind, his gaze shifting between Jiang Cheng and Su Peng! He unconsciously sucked in a breath of cold air, thinking, "We're dorm mates—brothers—do we need to change how we address each other from now on?"

Jiang Cheng shook his shoulder, and Su Manyao slowly woke up.

She wore sunglasses so she couldn't see his gaze; all we saw was her looking ahead, reaching up to touch the corner of her mouth, then turning her head to look at Jiang Cheng and saying, "Thank you."

The inherently alluring Yujie voice, due to just having woken up, basically maxed out the buff.

That thank-you made Jiang Cheng's heart quiver.

A male student happened to walk by nearby; his legs went weak at that thank-you, which wasn't directed at him, but he suddenly thought, "If I could hear that voice every day, I could live in a mansion!" "No problem, just rest well." Jiang Cheng also replied politely.

Su Mengyao seemed as if nothing had happened; she got up normally, stepped off the bus, took off her sunglasses, and merely gave Su Peng a bland glance.

Su Peng saw that in his sister's eyes, after she took off her sunglasses, there were fine bloodshots scattered, and she even looked somewhat exhausted.

No, she really does seem tired?

At this moment, Jiang Cheng got down.

Su Peng grabbed Jiang Cheng's shoulder in one motion and said, "Old Jiang, you keep telling me, what kind of act are you pulling?!"

Jiang Cheng didn't understand the good thing, and generally asked: "What's the trick?"

"How could you let my sister lean on you?!" Su Peng lowered his voice, head down as if whispering to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng suddenly stopped, angrily saying: "Me let?!"

"You're saying this means you plan to deny the debt, right?!" Jiang Cheng accused first.

Su Peng was dazed, paused a moment and asked: "What debt am I supposed to acknowledge?!"

"Your sister!" Jiang Cheng grabbed Su Peng and said: "Don't talk about your sister's matter, you won't acknowledge the debt! Just a few minutes after getting in the car, your sister said she wanted to sleep, asking me to let her lean on my shoulder, making my shoulder sore to death; I didn't move at all, this is all out of respect for you, and now you won't acknowledge it?!"

Su Peng:??? "Not. me." Su Peng found the handwriting a bit blurry at this moment.

Jiang Cheng swept his hand away angrily, saying: "As a brother, you're actually like this; from now on, don't call me if anything happens."

Jiang Cheng said that and left!

Su Peng stood rooted, after two seconds hurriedly chased up, shouting: "Old Jiang, wait a moment!"

He grabbed Jiang Cheng's hand and said: "Acknowledge, acknowledge, I acknowledge! I didn't not acknowledge; let me treat you to a late-night snack and massage when we go back, okay?"

"Three times!"

"Okay, three times, don't be angry, I just didn't react just now, it's not that I truly don't acknowledge."
