At mealtime, Li Qianxia kept staring at Yang Qinglan.
"My brother looking at me is one thing, but why are you staring?" Yang Qinglan glanced at her and asked with a smile.
"I heard that women who are satisfied have radiant and lustrous skin." Li Qianxia didn't smile, but her voice was full of laughter.
"What nonsense, I didn't do that kind of thing." Yang Qinglan's face turned a bit red, trying to sound as natural as possible.
"What kind of thing? I was talking about emotional fulfillment, you pervert!" Li Qianxia burst out laughing, filling the Bird Nest Plain with her laughter.
Yang Qinglan gave Li Changzhou a look.
—Your sister, you deal with her.
"Eat properly," Li Changzhou said.
Not just Li Qianxia, even a little radish wouldn't take the current Li Changzhou seriously, gauging the danger level on the table, and she even sneakily tucked the carrots she didn't want to eat at the edge of his plate.
He was too safe now, safer than the boiled eggs on the table.
"Oh, right, brother, I forgot to say last night, Xu Xiao and the others asked me to go out today," Li Qianxia said as she laughed enough, pouring herself some milk.
Having reconciled with the Special Warfare Bureau, and with Qianxia's strength being not weak, Li Changzhou convinced himself while peeling a row of corn kernels with his hands and tossing them into his mouth.
"Take little radish with you, wear thicker clothes, and let her hide inside your clothes," he said.
"Little Radish, do you want to go out with me today?" Li Qianxia, unlike her cold-hearted and unemotional brother, fully respected the opinions of every living being.
Except for the rabbits, which were proliferating faster and faster.
"Not good," Little Radish said, drinking tree sap.
"If you go out with me, I'll buy you tasty food and pretty clothes."
"This is enough for me to eat, and I don't need to wear clothes."
"..."
Li Qianxia had no choice but to look towards her brother, who, though cold-blooded and unemotional, was always willing to help others.
"You've been living here for a while now; let's talk about the rent," Li Changzhou said to Little Radish.
After a reasonable and well-argued persuasion by Li Changzhou, Little Radish agreed to accompany Li Qianxia out today.
After quickly finishing her meal, Li Qianxia went to change her clothes: a white sweater, a stylish black coat, black jeans; she looked handsome and beautiful.
"Bro, look at my waist," she said, spreading her black coat with both hands and gripping her waist.
The waist beneath the white sweater was thin and flat, but as far as a brother was concerned, his sister's waist, no matter how slender, was of no significance.
"Thin and you won't give me money for food! Do you want to starve me to death?!"
Turns out she was broke for their outing and was indirectly asking for spending money.
Speaking of money, the two siblings were now powerful, and they had plenty of Game Coins, even capable of privatizing a planet at any time, but in reality, they had no cash—first, they never sold any Game Coins, and second, they never took any from Yafeiluna.
Li Changzhou looked at Yang Qinglan.
Yang Qinglan gave her the money.
Li Qianxia sweetly smiled and rubbed her face against hers, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"Being your sister-in-law just because I have money?" Yang Qinglan pushed her away, afraid Qianxia might feel the warmth on her own face.
She never thought she'd see the day she was called sister-in-law.
"Of course not, Turquoise Pool sister is also rich, but unless my brother agrees, I would never call her sister-in-law!"
"Get out of here!" Li Changzhou waved her away along with little radish, wondering why she would want to trouble her brother.
After Li Qianxia left, it seemed as if she took all the sounds with her, the "Honey Pot World" became so quiet that the whisperings of the wind and the leaves could be heard.
"It's just the two of us again," Li Changzhou said, his eyes filled with expectation.
"Then explain it to me, what's going on with you and Turquoise Pool."
"...Ah?"
◇
The girls' dorm, Building 21, Room 507, a reunion after a long separation.
Li Qianxia and Xu Xiao, Song Yuan, Su Qin decided to meet at Kale Square, preparing to get haircuts, buy clothes, browse jewelry stores, have meals, drink milk tea, eat desserts, watch movies—that's the one-stop-shop for college life.
Having not seen each other in a long time, the four young college girls hugged each other excitedly, attracting a lot of attention from the crowds out and about on a Sunday.
It's just something girls do. If four boys hugged and cuddled like this, security guards would probably hesitate over whether they should go over and ask what's going on, lest it disrupt public order and good morals.
"It's been so long, wuwu~"
"Qianxia, I've missed you so much~"
"I've missed you more, wuwu, Xiaoxiao, Yuanyuan, little Qin~"
"Wow, Li Qianxia, you heartbreaker!"
"Exactly, today you have to choose one! Otherwise, there'll be no end to this!"
"Qianxia, you'll choose me, right?"
"Stop it, all of you are mine. We four will always be together!"
"Go away!"
"Unless you add your brother."
"No, no, that's not happening, my brother already has a girlfriend."
"Who? Who is it? Is it Yang Qinglan from the Philosophy Department?"
"Yes, that's her! She has my brother totally wrapped around her finger, sucking away his Yang Qi every day, leaving her skin nice and smooth, and my brother as fragile as a dog."
"You eavesdropped?! How's the battle going?!"
"Qianxia, I've noticed that your skin... hasn't it also gotten a lot better?"
"Hey, hey, dangerous topic, move it, I'll treat you to milk tea."
"Qianxia's legs are so long and pretty, and her butt is so pert, I'm drooling!"
"Your butt is pert, Su Qin!"
The four girls jostled and nudged each other, almost wishing they could share one body with four heads. Their conversation was lively and intense, and even Li Changzhou hadn't known this side of his little sister.
