Chapter 229: Secret Admirer of Many Years (1)
Ye Qingran was full of questions.
But in front of Chu Ruoruo, she naturally wouldn’t ask He Cizhou.
Chu Yan continued to ask her about school, and opposite them, He Cizhou and Chu Ruoruo also began to chat.
He Cizhou: “Time passes really fast, the children have already gone to university.”
Chu Ruoruo said, “Not really. I’ve been working hard for many years. Where did Brother He Cizhou go for University?”
He Cizhou said, “Your brother and I were classmates. We both graduated from Du University.”
Chu Ruoruo said, “You also graduated from Du University. Then we’re schoolmates, I have to call you senior brother.”
He Cizhou said, “What senior brother? It sounds like you’re treating me like an outsider. Just call me Brother.”
The two of them chatted non-stop, as if they were just chatting spontaneously.
However, every sentence seemed to have been meticulously prepared by He Cizhou.
From talking about school, to what kind of books they liked to read, to exchanging their thoughts after reading, to what kind of pastimes they usually had, what songs they liked to listen to, and what movies they liked to watch.
Ye Qingran felt that He Cizhou was an expert at picking up girls.
If it were not for Chu Yan in the middle, Chu Ruoruo would have been ruined by him long ago.
While eating, Ye Qingran received a call from Wang Xiaoyu.
She said that the military training had ended and that Xia Xin was going to treat everyone to a meal. She even said that it was thanks to Ye Qingran, since she had treated Xia Xin to a meal last time.
She asked her where she was and when she could come back.
Ye Qingran said that she was outside, having a meal with her friends. She asked Wang Xiaoyu to help her thank Xia Xin.
But there was no need for dinner.
Although they had only known each other for a few days, she could see Xia Xin’s character clearly.
How could she treat her to dinner without a purpose.
Of course, even if there was no purpose, she did not want to join that meal because she was someone who did not like trouble.
When Chu Yan heard Ye Qingran telling her roommate that she would not be going home tonight, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up into a faint smile.
He continued to pick some food for her while he spoke softly to her. The only thing in his deep eyes was Ye Qingran’s figure.
As for the two people across from him, they had already become one with the air.
Chu Ruoruo pursed her lips. Although she was very happy that the two people she liked were together, she was still a little jealous.
She said sourly, “Brother Ran loves me the most.”
Her voice was very soft, so Ye Qingran and Chu Yan did not hear her.
However, He Cizhou, who was beside her, heard her clearly.
He almost choked on the soup in his mouth. He thought to himself, ‘Chu Ruoruo still likes Ye Qingran, even though she knows that Ye Qingran is a woman?’?
He Cizhou laughed out loud and jokingly asked Chu Ruoruo in a low voice, “Do you want me to help you snatch her away?”
Chu Ruoruo was stunned for a moment, then she smiled with her eyes curved. She put her hand on her mouth and answered with a squint, “This idea is very good.”
She only thought that He Cizhou was like her, unable to stand the sour smell of love.
That was why he said that on purpose.
Chu Ruoruo secretly laughed and said, “But forget it. Even if i snatched her, I cant eat her. It’s too boring to just look at it.”
He Cizhou almost choked again.
What was there to eat? It was definitely Ye Qingran who had led Chu Ruoruo astray.
When he saw that Chu Ruoruo had finished her soup, he immediately added another bowl for her. “Girls should drink more soup.”
Chu Ruoruo looked at him with a burning gaze. “Thank you, Brother He Cizhou.”
She really liked drinking this soup. Just now, she was hesitating whether she should fill another bowl, but she was a little embarrassed that she had drunk so much and that there wouldn’t be enough for everyone.
After drinking two mouthfuls, Chu Ruoruo looked at He Cizhou and asked with a smile, “Brother He Cizhou, do you have a sister?”
He Cizhou:”… ?”
Sigh, she suddenly felt a little flustered. Why did she suddenly ask him if he had a sister.
He shook his head. “I only have a troublesome younger brother who is currently studying abroad.”
Chu Ruoruo was surprised. “I thought Brother He Cizhou had a sister, that’s why you’re so thoughtful. Why don’t I be your biological sister from now on, okay?”
She simply felt that this was the image of a gentle and considerate brother in her heart.
Of course, it wasn’t that her brother wasn’t good.
It was just that he was too cold and especially serious. He was even more serious than her father.
Compared to her strict paternal older brother, she preferred a gentle older brother.
He Cizhou:”…”
Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Chu Ruoruo only thought that he didn’t acknowledge her as his younger sister.
She laughed awkwardly. “I was just joking.”
He Cizhou laughed as well. “It’s nice to have a sister as gentle as you. I’m afraid that your brother will come after me if he finds out that I stole his sister.”
Chu Yan looked at him and replied, “No, you’ll be her biological brother from now on.”
Ye Qingran felt that Chu Yan was a bad person. He knew He Cizhou’s intentions, but he still said that he wanted him to be her biological brother. He Cizhou was obviously about to laugh out of anger.
She suppressed the smile on the corners of her mouth and said seriously, “It’s a very happy thing to have another brother to dote on you.”
He Cizhou:”…”
He smiled and glanced at Chu Yan across from him. The smile did not reach his eyes at all.
Instead, he gritted his teeth a little.
Then, he looked at Ye Qingran as if he was complaining about how she had just agreed to cover for him. Why did she turn around and collude with Chu Yan again.
Chu Ruoruo had no idea about the undercurrents between the three of them surging.
She agreed with Ye Qingran’s words and nodded repeatedly. “It’s naturally a happy thing to have another brother to dote on me. Here, I’ll give you some fish. From now on, you’ll be my biological brother.”
He Cizhou looked at the fish in the bowl. He had mixed feelings.
He squeezed out a smile and said to Chu Ruoruo first, “Thank you.”
Then he said to Chu Yan with a fake smile, “If I remember correctly, Chu Yan, you have a younger sister at Du University.”
Chu Ruoruo asked in surprise, “Brother’s younger sister? If I remember correctly, isn’t there only a younger brother over there?”
He Cizhou said, “Ah, ah, ah, ah.” He knocked his head and said, “Look at my memory. I’m sorry, I remembered wrongly. It’s not a biological sister, but the younger sister of a family friend.”
Chu Ruoruo said a little unhappily, “A family friend’s younger sister. That shouldn’t be considered a younger sister, right?”
Ye Qingran also looked at Chu Yan and said meaningfully, “Family friend’s younger sister? So you’re the older brother of many people.”
Chu Yan gave He Cizhou a deep look.
He Cizhou immediately averted his gaze and asked Chu Ruoruo, “Sister Ruoruo, what else do you want to eat? Let’s add two more dishes. Tonight’s meal is on me, consider it my congratulations on officially becoming a university student.”
Chu Ruoruo bit on her chopsticks and smiled. “I also want to eat a roast goose.”
He Cizhou: “Okay, what else do you want to eat?”
Chu Ruoruo said, “Nothing for now. Brother Ran, what else do you want to eat?”
Without waiting for Ye Qingran to speak, Chu Yan said, “The most expensive bird’s nest and shark’s fin on the menu, four portions each.”
