Chapter 29: Don't worry, brother—I'll take care of you, sis!

This move left the clueless Deng Qi dazed!

What the hell?

What just happened?

I saw Jiang Cheng embracing the aloof Yujie Su Manyao, and then Su Manyao's brother apologized to Jiang Cheng?

I wouldn't even dare dream of this in my wildest dreams!

But he actually did it! He thought Su Peng would lose his temper, after all, they were now brothers-in-law! Deng Qi even started thinking in his mind about how to break up a fight later.

But he didn't expect that.

After Jiang Cheng got out of the car, Su Peng didn't lose his temper; instead, Jiang Cheng lost his temper, and Su Peng was still apologizing to Jiang Cheng! With the same compulsory education, how is Old Jiang so damn awesome?!! If that's allowed, what would happen if I hugged? When that idea popped up, Deng Qi had the answer, and even Liu Tao, who would die, looked dazed.

What the hell is this operation?! But looking at Su Manyao, she seemed fine, even stretching lazily, causing the boys who noticed this scene to become dazed! The counselor of that Music Department class, while arranging work with the class monitor, kept glancing from time to time at Su Manyao, who was being surrounded by several girls chatting.

His heart ached in waves! Before, he actually didn't dare have any overreaching thoughts, but this time Su Manyao actually agreed to join a team-building activity with the students, giving him a glimmer of an idea; in fact, it was mostly just wanting Su Manyao to notice him a little.

But just now, he actually saw that goddess Su Manyao leaning on a male student's shoulder and sleeping! He regretted it to death, thinking over and over, 'If I had been a bit bolder and sat in that spot, when Su Manyao got tired and wanted to sleep, would she also lean on my shoulder?' 'I really should die—back then I just didn't dare be bolder!'

After roll call confirmed everyone was present, they all walked into the mountain villa together.

By then, the sky had already grown dim.

Su Manyao wore a light green dress, and in the dim twilight she looked like a beautiful scene.

She walked ahead, chatting with a few girls from the Music Department.

Actually, Su Manyao walked slowly, but the boys who wanted to glance at her more could only walk even slower behind her, so as not to look conspicuous when looking at her.

…

A group entered the mountain villa, where someone greeted them and led them to the barbecue spot.

It was an open space with brick-built outdoor barbecue stoves.

"Alright, we'll barbecue here tonight!"

"Classmates, find your own seats first; also, the grass over there is clean, and after barbecuing we can go there to hang out!"

The Music Department class monitor, a very tall girl, shouted from the high ground.

"Oh~"

"I built this stove!"

"Come over, let's work on this side; this stove looks cleaner!"

"Those from Dorm 502, Building 3, come over here; we need this!"

"I didn't eat anything on the way here—I'm starving!"

"I'm hungry too—finally we can eat barbecue!"

After riding for over an hour, we finally arrived at the site; everyone was excited and began picking the stoves they wanted.

Our stomachs were also hungry, waiting for the barbecue.

Deng Qi and Liu Tao had tidied up beforehand, boasting they'd pick up girls from the Music Department, but the result was that the four dorm mates sat together at one stove. "You're into hairstyling, aren't you? Didn't you say you wanted to pick up a girl?" Su Peng looked at the two and said, "Go ahead—I've saved this spot for Zhouzixin; I want to sit with Zhouzixin, so don't stay and ruin my plans."

"Don't rush, Zhouzixin isn't still busy, is she?"

"I'll go flirt with her in a moment," Deng Qi said timidly.

Then Su Peng turned his head and said to Jiang Cheng, "Old Jiang, don't leave; we're good brothers, we'll sit together later."

"Who wants to sit with you? I'm going over to the Music Department side; I don't have time to keep you company." Jiang Cheng said that and then got up and really walked over to the Music Department side.

Coincidentally, the Music Department class monitor Liuruyi was sitting alone at a barbecue stove, checking the barbecue list.

"Do you need help, classmate?" Jiang Cheng walked past the college, sat down opposite Liuruyi, and asked.

Liuruyi lifted her head and saw Jiang Cheng; her eyes brightened a bit. The handsome guy before her was one aspect.

The other aspect was that just now on the bus, she had seen Professor Su leaning on this guy's shoulder! Liuruyi said, "I do need help, but please wait a moment."

"Sure."

Jiang Cheng certainly didn't come over just to help; he didn't want to sit with Su Peng, fearing he couldn't help asking Su Peng: "What would happen if I made you call me brother-in-law?"

Not far away, Su Peng saw Jiang Cheng really chatting with a good-looking girl from the Music Department, and noticed that the girl was also very enthusiastic toward Jiang Cheng.

"Old Jiang, when did you meet such a pretty girl from the Music Department?"

Su Peng felt strange.

Just then, the class monitor of their class, Zhouzixin, ran over with a few people:

"Classmates, I need to tell you all some bad news!"

Zhouzixin's voice was loud, but because her voice itself is sweet, it sounded like she was loudly acting coquettish.

Everyone's attention was drawn to her, and the people on site quietly watched her.

Zhouzixin felt a lot of pressure, but she still raised her voice and said, "We just found out that the barbecue ingredients haven't been thawed yet!"

"Most of the meat needs to be thawed first, then skewered for barbecue."

"So we might not be able to barbecue for now; we need some more time."

As Zhouzixin's words fell, the people from both classes started to stir.

"Good grief, I haven't eaten anything all afternoon!"

"I'm about to starve to death!"

"Me too, my stomach is growling!"

"How long exactly will it take?"

Zhouzixin pressed her hands and apologetically said, "This is an unexpected situation; it's our negligence for not preparing in advance. We'll try to let everyone eat barbecue within an hour and a half."

Regardless of whether everyone likes it or not, things can only be decided this way.

Thus, the people who had just been rushing to grab seats now had no interest in the barbecue stoves at all.

In twos and threes, they began walking toward the nearby large grassland, which was actually a slope; standing on it, one could see far away.

Gradually everyone realized that grilling also takes time, which is pretty good.

Because waiting is needed, this gave those who want to hit on girls and those who want to be hit on a great opportunity.

Su Peng brought Deng Qi and Liu Tao, and also joined a small group of girls from the Music Department.

Jiang Cheng and a few classmates chatted for a while, then his gaze found that light-green figure, a person standing on the slope, facing the evening breeze, giving the youthful boys and girls a graceful, outstanding silhouette.

Jiang Cheng glanced at Su Peng, who was happily chatting with the girls from the Music Department.

As a brother, as long as you're happy, that's fine; I, your sister, will look after you.

Don't worry! Jiang Cheng walked toward that light-green figure.
