Chapter 8, Everyone has their own concerns

"Well, I have always wanted to visit your family, and this is a good opportunity." Luo Zihan raised his hand and gently ruffled my hair, his thin lips slowly curving upwards, "Don't worry, no matter what, Cui Minhe will always be your cousin, and I will respect him. Moreover, I also want to discuss matters regarding my sister with him."

That's right

Qianqian, you are now fully capable of passing the school test, take a break

Tears blurred my vision, and as I slightly blinked my eyelashes, the droplets fell silently.

Luo Zihan nodded firmly and replied word by word: "Please rest assured, I love Qianqian very much and will use my life to protect her! If possible, I would like to ask you to take good care of my sister on a regular basis."

Oh my God, please do not tell me this is true. I would rather believe that I come from Mars than accept the chaotic reality before me

On Sunday morning, Luo Zihan and I left the Imperial View Academy together, each with completely different feelings

"This, I..." Min He stared at Luo Zihan with resentment and said irritably, "When did I ever oppose your relationship? I am just worried that he will make Qianqian suffer, silly girl! Luo Zihan, you remember this: Qianqian is my most beloved sister. Since you have taken her away from me, you must love her and take care of her forever, and you are not allowed to let her suffer even the slightest harm; otherwise, I will never let you go!"

Indeed, I am bewildered, at a loss and uncertain. The scene I witnessed always pierces my heart like a sharp dagger, becoming clearer with each pain, and increasingly difficult to forget.

Later, Luo Zihan called me to inquire about the reason for my sudden departure from the Platinum Pavilion, yet he did not mention at all his meeting with Shen Jingyu in the lounge. This made me feel even more wronged, and a profound sense of helplessness surged within me

"Is it surprising?" Luo Zihan sighed softly, his smile appearing quite forced. "I might be overly sensitive; whenever my family, friends, or loved ones exhibit even the slightest unusual behavior, I notice it. My sister's sudden application for early graduation raised my suspicions. After sending someone to investigate, I discovered that she had become an assistant to Cui Minhe. Many times, I wanted to talk to my sister, but I still hoped she would take the initiative to tell me the truth. Therefore, I kept waiting for her to explain everything to me, but now I have changed my mind.

Luo Zihan, will you feel happy for me

The more one cherishes, the more one may choose to escape oneself

"Qianqian, I do not care about others; I only hope that you can believe me." Luo Zihan gazed at me, his eyes shimmering with sincerity and anticipation. "Qianqian, regarding that incident, I never intended to hide it from you. Jingyu's arrival was unexpected for me, yet also somewhat anticipated. She appeared at the Platinum Pavilion to plead on behalf of those senior sisters who bullied you, and she hoped to persuade me to change my mind and abandon my feelings for you, leveraging the support of our elders."

Luo Zihan is like a blizzard in winter, chilling to the bone; Min Hegge is akin to the blazing sun in summer, warm as fire

Enough

I will not, as I love the house and its crow.

I love Qianqian! Just for this one reason, I...

Cui Minhe, know when to stop!

I slammed my hand on the table, put down the brush in my hand, walked over to him, and glared at him fiercely

... ...

Ah, how strange it is

Hello, how are you! What, what? Um, alright, thank you... Please rest assured, I will do my best... I am also very pleased to meet you. Alright, goodbye

However

I pouted, unapologetically rolling my eyes at him, glaring at him in indignation. What is this? His actions clearly indicate a double standard!

Qianqian

Ah, what a coincidence. "Min He ge provocatively shrugged and said with a smile, 'Liang Ma is out on a date with the chairman of the Imperial View Academy. Today, the only parent you will meet is me! If you pass my test, I will consider you qualified and allow you to meet Liang Ma; otherwise..."

I let out a loud shout, walked between Luo Zihan and Min Hegge, furrowed my brows, widened my eyes, and glared at them in anger

Of course. He took my backpack, held my hand tightly, and the smile at the corners of his lips deepened. "Let's go, we should celebrate properly, have a meal, go shopping, watch a movie, and stargaze... I hope my Qianqian can forget all her worries and be this happy every day"

It is unclear when it began, but the aloof and taciturn Young Master Luo has surprisingly taken a liking to speaking. Moreover, he is becoming increasingly skilled at talking to himself, which leaves me feeling both angry and helpless.

Uh? Min He Ge shrugged his lips and said in a low voice, "So what?"

About one hour

Why

"Are you deliberately mocking me?" Luo Zihan pinched the tip of my nose and sighed helplessly, "I can't guarantee the works of others, but I will definitely read your comic. Is that acceptable?"

Min Hege smiled slightly, pulling me to sit on the sofa, facing Luo Zihan.

Faced with two individuals in extreme states, Sister Shangmei and I could only shake our heads helplessly, a drop of cold sweat forming on my forehead, fearing that something unexpected might happen again

Ah, I have been defeated by you

I sat up abruptly, my eyes fixed on Luo Zihan: "Did you agree?"

I stared at him in a daze, momentarily at a loss for words, unable to respond. Moreover, Luo Zihan was genuinely concerned for my well-being, leaving me with no way to refute him

Luo Zihan sighed softly, her exquisite beauty slightly dimmed, yet the depth of her gaze remained unwavering, akin to the cool and tranquil moonlight, clear and radiant

There is no need for explanations, I understand that there are reasons behind it. Luo Zihan lightly kissed my forehead, his obsidian-like eyes deeply gazing into mine, "Qianqian, in your heart, what kind of person do I really represent? You would rather hide in a deserted corner and cry than meet me. Am I truly not worthy of your trust? That day, you suddenly left the Platinum C Hall, even unwilling to say goodbye to me, and I sensed something was amiss. Therefore, I discreetly sent someone to follow you, keeping an eye on your situation at all times, and your various behaviors confirmed one thing for me. That day, you saw Jingyu, saw me with her, and perhaps coincidentally, you also witnessed her suddenly..."

Luo Zihan leaned lightly against the car window, propped up her elbow, and looked at me with a smiling gaze

Alright, I will support my sister's decision. However, sister, you should still come home to visit occasionally; even agents should have holidays, shouldn't they

Why does Luo Zihan want to hide from me that he is meeting with Shen Jingyu

It is evident that Luo Zihan's last sentence was heard by Min Hege.

Leaving the campus, I arrived at a relatively quiet beach, sitting on the sand while reading comics

This is simply a far-fetched tale. Luo Zihan has been accustomed to having everything handed to him since childhood, so asking him to cook or prepare meals would be a stroke of luck as long as he doesn't set the kitchen on fire!

Luo Zihan stared at me blankly, his deep, pool-like black eyes devoid of any expression

All of this is what I have chosen for myself, and it is also what I must accept; I have no regrets.

Why

I placed the comic book beside me, slowly lying down on the beach, closing my eyes, and letting out a soft sigh. Yao Qianqian, oh Yao Qianqian, how have you become like this? So despondent and dejected, so melancholic and frustrated, this is not at all your character! Rather than seeking troubles for yourself, it would be better to take the initiative to ask Luo Zihan for clarity, just like before.

Several times, I wanted to call Minhe, even if it meant crying on the phone, it would still be a way to find an outlet for my emotions

In fact, I have the same plan, to finish my homework and take the last bus home.

Why? I felt a bit annoyed, furrowing my brows as I looked at Luo Zihan. I am merely returning to my own home, not going anywhere else. Must I be restricted in this as well

"You love Qianqian, but can you truly protect her?" Min He raised his thin lips, his smile as radiant as a flower, yet the joy did not reach his eyes. "Luo Zihan, you have broken off your engagement with the eldest daughter of the Shen family, yet you face opposition from both prominent families, bearing such heavy pressure. Can my Qianqian be happy? Shang Mei has told me that the eldest daughter of the Shen family seems to be quite capable; she will not easily give you up. With such a difficult girl, what will you do if she harms Qianqian?" Shang Mei has told me that the eldest daughter of the Shen family seems to be quite capable; she will not easily give you up. With such a difficult girl, what will you do if she harms Qianqian?"

Luo Zihan nodded confidently, grasped my hand, and pulled me back to his side once again

It would be better for me to return home early and have some communication with Brother Minhe

Qianqian, you are not allowed to go home tonight; stay in the student dormitory. Tomorrow we will go to your home together

The atmosphere in the living room is somewhat strange

"However, when you go to my house to meet my parents, there is no need to trouble yourself." He actually took the liberty to decide for me, his bright black eyes gazing deeply at me, "Because you are already the gift I have prepared for them. As long as you are willing to accompany me home to meet my parents, they will surely be very happy and welcoming."

Did you also buy a gift

Who knows

He is always so calm and composed, with a stunningly beautiful face, deep-set eyes, and tightly pressed thin lips, showing no difference from his usual self, revealing no signs of emotional fluctuation

Well..." Min He narrowed his eyes, lazily ruffling his hair, "I haven't made up my mind yet. In any case, a test is essential, so Luo Zihan, just be prepared for it.

Before I understood my own feelings, I could calmly and fearlessly question Luo Zihan, regardless of the doubts I encountered. Now, as we share mutual affection and our hearts are in sync, I have instead become burdened with concerns, feeling both conflicted and entangled, losing my true self

Luo Zihan immediately rejected my proposal

Alas, I am actually worried that when Luo Zihan meets Min Hegge, the two of them might once again engage in a fierce argument and confrontation akin to a collision between Mars and the Earth

I sat in the activity room of the comic club, resting my chin on my hands, gazing out the window, yet my mind was completely blank

Brother Min He!

In close proximity, our gazes met, and I finally saw everything clearly before me

Luo Zihan affectionately tapped the tip of my nose and said softly, "This is the first time meeting your elders, how can I come empty-handed? That would be too disrespectful."

The gentle breeze stirs the leaves, creating a rustling sound

When I reopened my eyes, I found myself already asleep on a soft sofa, with my head resting on Luo Zihan's legs, and a dark green blanket covering me. Ha! No wonder I slept so comfortably

It was only when the study door was closed that Min Hege's voice completely vanished

"Seeing you sleep so soundly, I cannot bear to disturb you." He gently placed his warm hand on my forehead, tenderly stroking it, "I know you have been staying up late for several consecutive days, and your dark circles are particularly noticeable. You must stop this; your health will suffer."

I slowly opened my eyes, and in a daze, I unexpectedly saw the strikingly handsome face of Luo Zihan

Luo Zihan nodded slightly, which could be considered as an agreement, and walked back to the sofa, slowly sitting down.

Ah, this is really troublesome

I quickly shook my head and smiled very unnaturally: "Uh, it's nothing, I... I was just thinking that my aunt would definitely like you more than Min He Ge."

At this moment, I realized that Luo Zihan had already instructed someone to prepare gifts, and the driver stood respectfully behind us, carrying many exquisitely wrapped bags

"Holiday? Hmm, I will think about it." Min Hege lazily nodded and said with a sly smile, "What should I do? I just like having Shangmei by my side, watching her busy herself for me, so... let's not think about the holiday for now. Anyway, Shangmei has also said that she is very happy when she is working, and I should respect her for that."

As if it were a genuine exchange

I stared at Luo Zihan intently and asked somewhat nervously, "When will you..."

Why are Luo Zihan and Shen Jingyu's relationship still so close

You, how did you come to be here

It's alright, I ... ...

"It doesn't matter, this little pain is nothing compared to your heartache." He smiled lightly, pressing a kiss on my forehead, "It was my oversight, my fault, that caused you to be sad for so long. My Qianqian is the kindest, making it hard for anyone to bear hurting her. It is truly wonderful to be able to love Qianqian"

Luo Zihan furrowed his brows, gently cupping my face with a sense of tenderness, and said with a hint of helplessness: "Qianqian, I am a bit sad; how could you lie to me?"

I pouted and whispered, "Since no one is around, whatever you say goes."

Luo Zihan, do you know that everyone's heart is very small, and I, Yao Qianqian, am no exception Here ... ...

I am both touched by his gentle attentiveness and feel that it is unnecessary to be so formal

"Luo Zihan, don't think that by saying some nice words, I will..."

Shang, Sister Shangmei

Qianqian

Qianqian, I do not wish to make excuses for myself, nor do I want you to misunderstand that there is someone else in my heart. You did not see it wrong, Jingyu indeed... However, I did not expect her to act that way, and I was completely taken aback. But once I realized what was happening, I immediately pushed her away. Qianqian, if you do not believe me and think that these are merely excuses for my own justification, then you may punish me as you see fit.

Luo Zihan gently pushed up his glasses, raised his thin lips, and smiled faintly, with deep brown strands of hair brushing against his forehead, exuding a touch of ethereal handsomeness

Boom

I was so nervous that my palms were sweating, and all my unease was written on my face, as if an unexpected situation could occur at any moment, leaving me somewhat at a loss.

I know, this is also the lifelong promise that Luo Zihan has given to me

I did not expect that Sister Shangmei was the first to speak out and stop me

Look, the chaotic situation reminiscent of a Mars collision with Earth has begun again

Luo Zihan raised her gaze to Min Hege and said firmly: "Rest assured, I will handle it well! Even if it means giving up everything, even if it means severing ties with the Luo family, I will definitely stay by Qianqian's side!"

Good news, tremendous good news

I was momentarily taken aback, then replied with a smile: "It's alright, I can manage. In a few days, once the retest is over, I will have plenty of time. As long as I get through this period, it will be over soon..."

Uh? Is it too forced?

I sighed helplessly, feeling as if my head were about to split open. I turned around, took hold of Luo Zihan's arm, and pulled him to sit on the sofa in the living room

Of course I like it!" Luo Zihan said while reviewing the questions, looking at me with a half-smile, "In the past, I thought this name was too ordinary and too vulgar, but now I find that it rolls off the tongue and is very easy to remember.

I sighed softly and reproached, "Why didn't you wake me up?"

I have become somewhat impatient, knocking on the door with one hand while continuously pressing the doorbell with the other. If no one responds to us, I am prepared to use my key to open the door and charge right in.

Cannot

Alright, I will follow your lead

Cui Minhe, please tell me what I need to do to earn your approval? After all, you are always Qianqian's cousin, and I will do my best to respect you and accept your requests

"Luo Zihan, do not be too arrogant; I have not yet agreed to let Qianqian date you."

C Who can tell me what is going on? Why is Sister Shangmei at my house? The most critical thing is that Sister Shangmei actually came out wearing Brother Minhe's white shirt from his bedroom

The sea breeze gradually calmed down, and the surroundings became even quieter

When I had just completed the predictive test paper he assigned and was preparing to focus on drawing comics, these "noises" that fluttered about like flies quietly drifted into my ears, driving me nearly to the brink of madness

Haha! Haha!

This sleep was very peaceful and very stable

"Qianqian and I are mutually in love, and you have no right to stop this!" Luo Zihan furrowed his brows, glanced at me, then at Sister Shangmei, desperately suppressing his anger, and said in a deep voice, "Qianqian is mine, and I will not let her go, even if it means risking everything I have! However, my sister is not involved in this matter, so do not drag her into it. Moreover, my family opposes my sister being your agent, so you better weigh the consequences and let my sister go."

I looked at him with a mix of laughter and tears, took the initiative to wrap my arms around his neck, and said in a spoiled tone: "Luo Zihan, the only person I like is you! Only you! However, I understand your feelings, that sense of anxiety and unease, that fear of loss, that worry about losing a lover, I have truly felt it as well. Luo Zihan, unless you abandon me and leave me, I will always stay by your side, and I will always like you! This is the lifelong promise that Yao Qianqian makes to Luo Zihan." Luo Zihan, unless you abandon me and leave me, I will always stay by your side, and I will always like you! This is the lifelong promise that Yao Qianqian makes to Luo Zihan.

Qianqian, do not work too hard, what will you do if you fall ill

I would do the same even without you saying so

I looked at Sister Shangmei with suspicion, then turned to Luo Zihan and asked, "Really?"

The person standing before me is truly Luo Zihan! This is not an illusion, nor a dream; Luo Zihan is by my side, and I can touch him simply by raising my hand

Originally, after hearing Luo Zihan's assurance, I still harbored a glimmer of hope in my heart that perhaps Minhe Ge and Luo Zihan could coexist peacefully. But now, the situation has become increasingly complicated. Is this what Minhe Ge mentioned to me over the phone, that as a form of retaliation, he intends to take away Luo Zihan's sister?

Then... I smiled mysteriously, took his arm, and whispered, "Luo Zihan, please promise me that you will get along well with Brother Minhe in the future, okay?"

Yao Qianqian

Luo Zihan smiled with a sense of relief, tightly grasped my hand, and said in a low voice: "Just now, while you were sleeping, Cui Minhe called."

"Then, Young Master Luo, how did you handle it?" I deliberately raised my chin and glared at Luo Zihan angrily, "A beautiful woman主动投怀送抱, and you just accepted her kiss as if it were a matter of course?"

Luo Zihan slightly furrowed her brows, and her deep and bright eyes dimmed for a moment

What?

I looked at him helplessly, and my forehead was suddenly covered with dark lines, truly at a loss for words.

However, in less than a second, Luo Zihan suddenly froze, his dark eyes staring motionlessly ahead, his expression dark and frightening.

I suddenly sat up, tentatively extending my hand, wanting to touch that unreal face. At that moment, a warm large hand gently covered my wrist, pulling me forward with force, and a long, strong pair of arms tightly embraced me.

Luo Zihan actually responded with such confidence, which is truly infuriating

Look, this is the powerful aura of Young Master Luo. He rarely sweetly and directly says "I like you," but he always inadvertently reveals that kind of domineering tenderness in his words

Min Hege suddenly burst into laughter, her captivating beauty exuding a sensual allure

I feel as if I have suddenly encountered a bolt from the blue, experiencing a sense of impending collapse and despair

Who needs your consent

Luo Zihan furrowed his brows even tighter and said in a deep voice: "Cui Minhe has taken over the promotional activities of the Shen Group, and my sister's identity has been completely exposed. The elders in the family are very worried about her and have asked me to persuade her to give up that job"

I nodded with a smile, my heart filled with gratitude and emotion. I picked up my pen and continued creating the comic, illustrating the romantic story that belongs to both Luo Zihan and me

The heart always aches faintly, a pain that feels as if it could suffocate; there is no place to confide, no way to escape. Whatever one does is merely self-deception, pale and powerless

The driver carefully placed the gift at the entrance and gently closed the door before leaving

The strands of sunlight streamed in through the window, shimmering with the luster of scattered gold.

Qianqian, what is wrong with you

Qianqian! Luo Zihan lowered his head to look at me, his deep black eyes shimmering with an irrefutable light. "Qianqian, you once told me that health is the most important thing, and that one must eat on time and rest on time. Silly girl, how could you forget what you once said?"

Min Hege warmly opened his arms, embracing me and leading me into the house, completely ignoring Luo Zihan who was standing beside me

Thank you

I said to both of you, it is simply more cheesy than the plots I have acted in romantic dramas, I really can't bear to watch it!" Min He grabbed Sister Shang Mei and headed straight for the study, not forgetting to remind, "Hey, Luo Zihan! I like Western food, the steak should be medium rare, remember to prepare the herb sauce, and use yellow tomatoes for garnish...

Who would have thought that, accompanied by a soft sound, the study door suddenly opened again. Min He leaned out halfway, looking at us with reluctance, and declared: "Luo Zihan, don't think that you can win me over with just one meal and make me accept you. I have not yet truly acknowledged you or agreed to let you date Qianqian."

Luo Zihan gazed at me with deep affection and a smile, his long, jade-like fingers gently cradling my chin as he carefully kissed me

This is a fleeting kiss, akin to a dragonfly skimming the water, yet it contains profound emotions and signifies that my relationship with Luo Zihan has received the support of our families, entering a new phase

Min He gently released me, her smiling beautiful eyes glancing over my shoulder, looking somewhat triumphantly at Luo Zihan, who exuded an air of indifference.

What is this? Is it a deliberate attempt to elicit my sympathy, or does he want to see me regretful and guilty? I will not be soft-hearted; after all, he was the one who made the mistake first, causing me pain for several days!

Faintly, two icy and penetrating gazes swept around me and Brother Minhe like daggers, growing increasingly frigid and sharper. In an instant, it seemed as though the entire room had plunged into a powerful vortex of cold air

Ah? Is that not the case?

I slowly turned my head and followed Luo Zihan's gaze, and then... I too was frozen like a statue

Let me speak first. Sister Shangmei took a deep breath, smiled calmly, and said, "Minhe called me over this morning, hoping that the four of us could have an open and honest discussion. Zihan may have misunderstood; the reason I am wearing Minhe's clothes is that I spilled juice on myself while making orange juice, and I couldn't wear my own clothes. Minhe kindly lent me his clothes, and I am very grateful to him. Choosing to be Minhe's manager was my own decision and my pursuit. Zihan, I am sorry for causing you trouble. In fact, I had already thought that the elders at home would not agree, and they would definitely put pressure on you to persuade me to give it up. However, I enjoy this job; I feel fulfilled and happy every day. I do not want to rely on the power of the Luo family; I just want to live freely."

You still do not know Zihan well enough; Zihan's culinary skills are quite impressive

I raised my eyebrows and smiled at him, blinking my eyes playfully: "I heard that someone seems to really dislike comics, even considering them as cultural garbage lacking in nourishment. Alas, what can I do? I happen to like that kind of unnutritious thing..."

The tightly closed door finally opened

... ...

Yes, I also believe that no matter what kind of trial it is, Luo Zihan will certainly face and accept it with courage

There are still two weeks left until the re-examination test for the Imperial View Academy. I must seize the final opportunity for a sprint, striving to pass the test smoothly and become a long-term student of the academy. On the other hand, my comic is currently being serialized, and the subsequent creation requires more time and effort. As a result, I feel like a spinning top, constantly turning every day, busy to the point of exhaustion

However

Luo Zihan, I am hurt, truly hurt

Things seem to be becoming increasingly complex and serious

What?

What should I do

"What do you think?" Min Hege chuckled dismissively, the shimmering light dancing in his long, beautiful phoenix eyes. "Luo Zihan, Shang Mei is merely a guest I invited; do not project your filthy thoughts onto me! The person I cherish the most is Qianqian, yet you have taken her away from me. What am I to do about this?"

Uh? I have no recollection of this number at all, who is it?

"Silly girl, thank you..." Luo Zihan held me tightly, burying his head in my long hair, and whispered, "I am truly sorry for what happened this time, Qianqian. I will clarify things with my family, and I will no longer meet with Jingyu, ensuring that you do not feel even the slightest bit of doubt or worry. I am sorry. I clearly care about your interactions with Cui Minhe, and I understand that kind of tension and unease, yet I did not take your feelings into account, causing you so much sadness and distress..." I am sorry. I clearly care about your interactions with Cui Minhe, and I understand that kind of tension and unease, yet I did not take your feelings into account, causing you so much sadness and distress..."

Is it true

I ... ...

However, my heart is always filled with unease, unable to find peace

This is the first time I have lied to Luo Zihan, and it is also the first time I have used a lie as an excuse to avoid going to the Platinum Pavilion for tutoring.

Ah? He, he already knows?

The humid sea breeze came towards me, carrying strands of coolness, stirring my school uniform and the tips of my hair, while also lifting a faint dust that lightly brushed against my cheeks, causing a slight pain.

Cui Minhe, what have you done to my sister

However, given the circumstances, we can only take it one step at a time

The car stopped in front of the familiar apartment building, and my spirits gradually lifted as I happily pulled Luo Zihan towards the door, pressed the doorbell, and waited for Brother Minhe to come and open the door

Qianqian

Qianqian, Qianqian... ...

I selected a few comic books and packed them into my backpack, preparing to take them back to the apartment to read. Turning around, I closed the door to the activity room and stood in the silent, empty corridor, gazing at the azure sky, shaking my head with a wry smile

"Test?" I asked anxiously, "Brother Minhe, what test is it?"

However, I do not have such courage, nor do I wish to worry my beloved Minhe. Perhaps Minhe is right; my affection for Luo Zihan is destined to face the pressures from the Luo and Shen families, and I am bound to endure a pain that is many times heavier than that of other lovers.

Tears gushed forth from my eyes like a dam breaking; I raised my hand and wiped my face haphazardly. Even though I was already in a disheveled state, my gaze towards Luo Zihan still radiated the most beautiful smile.

Perhaps I was truly too fatigued, and before long, my upper and lower eyelids began to battle. Slowly, slowly... I closed my eyes, my consciousness became hazy, and I unexpectedly fell asleep on the table

Sister Shangmei also walked to Luo Zihan's side, gently patting his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Zihan, there are some things I have always wanted to tell you. Today, can I share them with you, sister?"

Qianqian, I will demonstrate through my actions that you have not loved the wrong person

Now, I finally understand how much I like Luo Zihan and how afraid I am of losing him... It turns out that I am not as strong as I imagined myself to be

Luo Zihan gazed silently at Sister Shangmei, remaining silent for a long, long time

Uh? I never noticed before that Min He is actually so talkative

Uh? What is it again

Luo Zihan and Min Hegge looked at each other, their smiles appearing particularly forced. Regardless of the circumstances, after they ceased their argument, it seemed as though the entire world had become tranquil.

Qianqian, listen to me...

Qianqian, let us go to the observation tower on the island

He merely smiled without speaking, his fingertips gently caressing my cheek, and his gaze was filled with an unprecedented tenderness

No problem

Is this my illusion? Could it be that I have closed my eyes for too long and suddenly felt the sunlight shining, causing me to misjudge?

Luo Zihan seemed to see through my worries, tightly holding my hand, with a smile at the corner of his lips: "Rest assured, I will definitely fulfill what I promised you"

I looked up at him, my eyes burning with heat, and the grievances I had desperately suppressed surged back up again

"Min Hege, are you being a bit unreasonable?" I sighed and stood up from the sofa, "Let me handle it, I..."

I slightly raised my head, turned my face, and bit down hard on Luo Zihan's mouth corner. Seeing his handsome face contorted in pain, I finally let him go

Deep within my heart, there is a vague sense of foreboding, and I can't shake the feeling that the meeting between Min He and Luo Zihan is quite concerning

Luo Zihan glanced at Min Hege and said in a deep voice: "It's alright, for Qianqian, I can do anything."

"Luo Zihan, are you speaking in your sleep? Shangmei becoming my assistant agent is a mutual choice between her and me; I have never forced her. As long as Shangmei agrees to give up this job, I will respect her decision. And Qianqian, she is my most cherished sister; on what grounds should I hand her over to you? You are not qualified enough!"

I could no longer endure it, so I set down my brush and frowned as I looked at Luo Zihan

Luo Zihan

Qianqian, I cannot change the fact that you live under the same roof as Cui Minhe. I am also very aware that even without blood ties, you are still relatives, family, and that this bond of kinship will not be transcended. However, I cannot help but feel jealous of him, jealous that he got to know you so early, jealous that he has always been by your side... Qianqian, can you understand my feelings?

Hmph! Does it hurt a lot?

Snap!

This is the situation that worries and troubles me the most. Neither of them can stand the other, neither is willing to make concessions or compromises, yet there are countless intricate connections between them, making it unavoidable for them to meet and converse.

Young Master Luo

Strange, why hasn't Minhe come to open the door for such a long time today

I, Luo Zihan, swear to the heavens that I will forever ... ...

Of course! The person I, Yao Qianqian, like is definitely the best

Luo Zihan! Luo Zihan, he did it on purpose, it must be on purpose!

Young Master Luo, may I ask if you are very fond of my name

I raised my hand to wipe away the traces of tears, took a deep breath, and stood up from the chair

The spacious activity room was silent, with no sound at all

Luo Zihan leaped up from the sofa, his hands tightly clenched into fists, the veins on the back of his hands clearly visible

I waved my arms and struck the coffee table forcefully, raising my voice to shout

Uh? What does this mean

Why is this happening

I sat beside Luo Zihan, took the initiative to hold his hand, intertwining our fingers, and softly said: "Minhe Ge, I hope you will support my relationship with Luo Zihan. You are my most beloved brother, my closest family, and in my heart, you are irreplaceable. Minhe Ge, please extend your affection to include Luo Zihan, and try to accept him."

At that moment, I was bewildered and did not know how to face Luo Zihan. I immediately ran to the study on the upper floor, grabbed my backpack and the unfinished exam paper, and fled as if I were flying. Before leaving, I informed the servant at the Platinum Pavilion that I had urgent matters to attend to and asked them to convey my message to Luo Zihan.

Qianqian, I am willing to love everything about you, including the things that come with it. He is your cousin, and I will respect him with the proper etiquette; however, I cannot compromise on the matter of him hiring my sister as an agent

The verbose Young Master Luo is truly terrifying

Be quiet! Both of you, be quiet!

You bad fellow! Since you find my name to be common, why do you keep mentioning it every day?

Luo Zihan

Min Hege, I like Luo Zihan

Why did Shen Jingyu appear at the Platinum Hall

I am Qianqian's older brother

I patted my chest, holding back tears as I smiled at him, "This place can only accommodate two people; one more would make it crowded, and one less would lead to loneliness. I would rather remain forever lonely than feel suffocated in a crowd."

Qianqian, why not simply cancel the comic serialization at the magazine?

Whenever I recall that scene, my heartache intensifies as if being gnawed by thousands of ants

Qianqian, can you ... ...

Well, you... you are responsible for today's lunch

That ... ...

I stared blankly at Brother Minhe, and just as I was about to ask, Luo Zihan's voice had already sounded.

Uh? Min Hege appeared slightly surprised and quickly added, "I can't go out to eat, or I will be discovered by fans. Please cook a delicious meal for us using the supplies in the refrigerator."

I interrupted him again, looking at him with a smile, but in fact, there were two small flames dancing in my eyes

Today is not the day of the comic club event, but rather a day when I implore Bai Yaning to help me open the activity room, as I wish to be alone here to look at comics and adjust my emotions that have fallen to rock bottom

Yes, the person I, Luo Zihan, like is also...

Listen carefully, if there is another argument, I will immediately expel you! Luo Zihan, do not think about having a relationship with me; Min Hege, do not think about seeing me either

The Platinum Pavilion is quiet, exuding a sense of luxurious chill. In the vast building, an exquisite European-style castle, only Luo Zihan and I are studying in the study, while the other three young masters have all returned home

Qianqian, I do not wish for you to be too tired or to suffer too much

Um, then... I will go home tonight and wait for you at home tomorrow, how about that

Hmm. I lazily lounged on the sofa, unwilling to get up, raising my gaze to his perfectly handsome face, "Luo Zihan, how long have I been asleep?"

I quickly blinked my eyes and asked, "What did Min He say on the phone?"

Hmph! Let's see how you perform in the future

Bang

Luo Zihan is very concerned about me, always staying by my side, wishing he could take my place to accomplish these tasks. Unfortunately, whether it is taking exams or drawing comics, Luo Zihan is unable to help. He, who is usually calm and composed, cannot help but feel worried.

The ringtone of the phone interrupted my words at an inopportune moment, and a strange incoming call number flashed on the blue screen

"Yes, you guessed it right." I shook my head self-deprecatingly, looking at him with a smile, a tear slowly sliding down from the corner of my eye. "Luo Zihan, I believe you, I really want to keep believing in you. But what can I do? My heart always aches terribly, I cannot forget the scene I saw that day..."

According to the schedule for supplementary classes, I was supposed to go to the Platinum Pavilion to take the test, but I cannot erase the scene I witnessed that day from my mind. I can only curl up in the activity room of the manga club like an ostrich, deceiving myself to escape reality

"Min Hege, Luo Zihan, please sit down and listen to the opinions of me and Sister Mei, alright?"

Luo Zihan smiled with a sense of relief, but at that moment, Min Hege put forward a new request

He just asked me to go to your house tomorrow to have a good talk with me

Silly girl, there is no need to work so hard; it is sufficient to balance work and rest.

No, it is no longer necessary

Luo Zihan nodded solemnly: "Yes, but you absolutely must not leave me! Qianqian, my heart is also very small, and it can only accommodate you alone. I have been lonely for so long, and I really want someone to accompany me. Are you willing to stay by my side forever?"

Min He shrugged and said dismissively, "Requirements? Isn't that too simple? If you want me to willingly give you my most cherished Qian Qian, you must endure several trials first"

The bookshelf in the activity room is filled with many comics, among which are several of my favorite works. However, I find myself unable to muster any spirit at the moment; even my most beloved comics cannot dispel the intense sense of loss that lingers in my heart

The sky is azure, and the sunlight is bright

Caring too much will lead to a fear of facing the truth

He put down the book in his hand, looked down at me, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of his lips: "Are you awake?"

Qianqian, have you had dinner? Would you accompany me to play squash?

The call was from the editor of the magazine, informing me that the comic work I submitted has been selected and will soon be serialized in the comic weekly. The editor also encouraged me to continue with my future creations, as they are very much looking forward to it

"Luo Zihan, you... cough cough, this is the punishment I give you!" I looked at the bite mark on his lips, faintly stained with blood, unable to help but resent myself for being too forceful. "Um, does it hurt? It seems like the bite was quite deep, will it bleed? Luo Zihan, move the corner of your mouth a bit, let me see..."

Hmph! Such words are everywhere in television scripts; only a fool would believe them

Oh, you really came?

Luo Zihan

Luo Zihan did not speak, but instead held me tightly, turned his head, and placed countless delicate kisses on my cheek

Min Hege, if you continue to be stubborn, I will get angry

Qianqian, did you have a good time at school today

In the next moment, the living room returned to tranquility

Min He actually let the lofty Young Master Luo cook!

Next, I began a period of the busiest days

Min Hege, please stop messing around

Luo Zihan suddenly raised his voice, quickly lowered his head, and kissed me deeply

In the spacious living room, only Luo Zihan and I remain.

Luo Zihan raised an eyebrow and looked at Min Hege, saying coldly: "I am Qianqian's boyfriend, and it is only proper for me to come and meet her family"

Why

Qianqian, I have said it before, I really like your name, and I think of it countless times every day. This signifies that I miss you at all times.

I struggled desperately in his embrace, pushing against his chest with all my strength, but the gentle touch on my lips was so familiar, so sweet, filled with tenderness, filled with affection, and boundless deep emotion... "Qianqian, I am sorry." Luo Zihan released me, raised his hand to ruffle my hair, and said in a deep voice, "Silly girl, I am most afraid of making you misunderstand and making you sad. I want to explain it to you properly. In fact, the butler came to find me regarding the venue issue for the promotional event organized by the Shen family consortium. I did not know that Jingyu had followed along."

Understood, young master

Weekend evening

I playfully shook Minhe's arm, deliberately pouting and glancing at him sideways. This tactic was the best way to coax Minhe into a good mood when we were kids, and it never failed.
