Chapter 6 - Giving you the world is hard, but getting you a man is easy (1)
"So," Yue Qing sat on the sofa. His expression was stiff as plaster. "Who can tell me what's going on?"
He couldn't believe his eyes.
Or to put it another way, he had already suffered mental damage when he saw the process of Yue Xia escaping from her room on the surveillance footage. When he saw Yue Xia overtly snatching someone's fiancée at the engagement party, the mental harm done by his sister reached its peak.
…. He suspected that he was dreaming, but the situation at the scene of the crime told him that wasn't true.
Because of Shi Qingyin's soaring fury.
"Do you [bleep] know how important today is? I should have known you would [bleep] [bleep], [bleep]!!!"
Under the system's green screen censor mode, Yue Xia heard a bunch of bleeps from a chimpanzee erupting in anger. It was a beautiful scene of Shi Qingyin utterly losing it.
The utterly discomfited Shi Qingyin saw that Yue Qing turned to stare at him. He swallowed the old blood in his mouth.
This was the second time this happened today.
F*ck, everyone knew that Yue Qing was an unreasonable person that would protect his sister even though he knew she was in the wrong. He had most likely come here to bail Yue Xia out of trouble. Shi Qingyin really didn't dare to do anything to her while her brother was watching.
… Never mind, it was beneath him to argue with a woman. Just as Shi Qingyin exerted himself to suppress his anger, he heard Yue Xia's extremely weak voice.
"Shuyao, he's so scary." The young woman buried her cheek in Jiang Shuyao's warm chest. Her eyelashes fluttered with a hard-to-describe sense of fragility as if she was going to shatter the next moment. "He looks so much like my middle school head teacher. I'm remembering those bad memories…"
Shi Qingyin: "?"
Although Jiang Shuyao didn't know what was going on, she thought that the young woman probably had a secret trauma. She lowered her head, patted her shoulder, and softly said, "It's okay. It's all in the past."
Shi Qingyin: "..."
Don't think he didn't f*cking remember that her middle school head teacher was a bald guy with a potbelly! How dare she compare him to her teacher?!
He didn't know that Yue Xia was actually in the mood to have two different conversations going.
That's right, Yue Xia was still quarreling with the system. What comes around goes around. Who knew that the system would have a day like this?
[Host, how could you?!] Its cold mechanical voice contained a bit of sorrow.
No wonder it had felt it was abnormal for its host to suddenly go quiet! The huge change in the plot at the beginning of the story had caused it to be taken into an emergency meeting where it was threatened to be scrapped!
Yue Xia had pulled off her great revenge. She finally showed a benevolent smile. [I told you. I won't let anyone pressure me into doing something I don't want to do.]
The system confidently said: [You never said that.]
[So what? You shocked me five times. I remember them all.]
The system: [That's what you noted down?!]
[Isn't that worth remembering?] Yue Xia boldly and justly said: [Send me back if you dare. I'm okay with it if you don't care about failing your mission ~]
The system: [...]
Yue Xia: [Apologize.]
The system: [Sorry T.T]
The current situation was chaotic. The engagement party couldn't go. Shi Qingyin thought of the sympathetic gazes from the departing guests just now, and his blood pressure kept going up. He gritted his teeth and said, "Shuyao, don't be deceived by her. She doesn't know you. She's…"
He got stuck halfway through.
What was he supposed to say? That Yue Xia was his ex-girlfriend? Jiang Shuyao didn't know about their relationship, and he never intended for Jiang Shuyao to find out. After all, he was going to curb his behavior and live a good life with her. The less that she knew about those upsetting things, the better.
Saying more would make the situation worse. Shi Qingyin simply looked at Yue Xia to see what else she could make up.
He didn't expect Yue Xia to stay silent. Instead, she trembled in an extremely exaggerated manner, cuddled deeper into Jiang Shuyao's chest, and softly wept.
Shi Qingyin: "?" What's with that fake crying?!
"Qingyin, she's clearly very scared. Why are you still like this? Jiang Shuyao looked at him with a frown. "Go back by yourself to rest."
Shi Qingyin: "..." What are you being so considerate about without my permission?!
"No," He took a deep breath and said, "Go back with me. We'll wait a few more days and get formally engaged. We can't delay this matter."
"How can our marriage be more important than her mental state?" Jiang Shuyao's face was full of disapproval. "At the very least, she needs me during this period of time."
"Why do you care about her?!" Shi Qingyin couldn't control his irritation and angrily said, "Can you use your brain?!"
Yue Xia, who had been watching the show: "..."
He hit the key point. Jiang Shuyao was a standard-issued healing-type angel-esque character. Yue Xia could see that Jiang Shuyao had a huge intellect debuff right now. Since Jiang Shuyao was able to tolerate Shi Qingyin, a trash that strikingly resembled an irritable mental patient, Yue Xia had bet that she wouldn't refuse her request. Sure enough.
Even after being scolded as an idiot, Jiang Shuyao didn't get angry, but she still insisted, "I'm staying."
Shi Qingyin: "You…"
He couldn't get angry at Jiang Shuyao, so he turned to Yue Xia, but before he could speak, Yue Qing coldly said, "Watch your tone."
Shi Qingyin: "What did I say?"
"I don't know." Yue Qing's expression didn't change. "Or just stop talking."
Shi Qingyin: "???"
He felt like he was going to be killed off in his prime.
In the end, it was Shi Yunjian's arrival that put an end to the farce. He calmly said something to Shi Qingyin. With a foreboding expression and almost bursting veins, Shi Qingyin finally decided to leave. Before he left, he stared at Yue Xia and gritted out, "Just you wait."
Yue Xia, who had fun acting all afternoon, finally looked at him seriously and expressionlessly said, "Don't pretend to be mature."
"..."
