I ate a bowl of rice for ages, but there was no end in sight.
What are you two doing?
Su Jinbei couldn't stand the strange atmosphere any longer.
"It's alright," the siblings said in unison.
They glanced at each other, then simultaneously avoided each other's gaze.
Qiao Jingjing put down her chopsticks. "I'm full. I'm going back to my room to sleep."
It's only a few o'clock, and you're already going to sleep?
Su Jinbei watched her retreating figure, feeling utterly bewildered.
He tapped Qiao Yu, who was calmly picking up food with his chopsticks, and said irritably:
"Did you make your sister angry again?"
"How can I not!"
Qiao Yu tried to argue, but found himself at a loss for words.
"Definitely is."
Su Jinbei said reproachfully, "I know everything about what happened on Weibo. I thought you two would buy a lot of good wine and food to celebrate today, but the food is not as plentiful as usual. I don't believe you two are okay."
Qiao Yu glanced at the pretty, oval-faced woman sitting opposite him.
He dared not meet her gaze into her alluring yet not seductive peach blossom eyes.
He said softly, "That's just how she is, bad temper, gets angry easily, she'll be fine in a few days."
"Honestly, they're always arguing, and I'm caught in the middle, not liking anyone either way," Su Jinbei sighed.
Completely unaware of her own situation, she had been firmly on her best friend's side for the first few days after arriving.
In just over a month, he's already caught in the middle, pleasing neither side.
"She's still your sister, don't always bully her."
"I didn't bully her," Qiao Yu said excitedly.
He really did "bully" Qiao Jingjing during the day.
Su Jinbei scolded Qiao Yu like she would a disobedient younger brother: "Still saying no? Hmph, I'm not saying this because I'm the older sister."
"Your attitude towards your sister is very problematic. You're being flirtatious and don't show any respect for your sister at all."
“He still acts like a child every now and then. What kind of younger brother spanks his older sister? He's a grown man.”
"Of course, Jingjing also has her problems; she doesn't act like an older sister at all."
"She's always acting cute and spoiled with you. How can she be a good older sister? I'll talk to her about it later."
"You'd better not go," Qiao Yu muttered.
Seeing that Qiao Yu's attitude in admitting his mistake was good, Su Jinbei stopped arguing with him and changed the subject:
"What's this about piano music? When did Ayu learn to play the piano? I've never heard Jingjing mention it."
"That's amazing! The Music Association has even invited you to participate in an international piano competition."
"What does she know? She's so carefree. She doesn't even know I write novels," Qiao Yu said, pursing his lips.
"Hey, here we go again. You need to learn to respect your older sister," Su Jinbei said reproachfully.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Jinbei, want to go to the movies this weekend?"
"No, I'm going to teach dance."
"We can always find time to watch a movie. Also, I saw a good barbecue restaurant online, shall we go eat there?"
"Is it as good as your cooking?"
"Uh, I'm not sure."
Su Jinbei said with a half-smile, "Ayu, are you trying to pursue me?"
Good heavens, please don't say anything about wearing it.
Even though I'm a man, I get embarrassed too.
Life is so difficult, why expose everything?
Seeing his bewildered expression, Su Jinbei laughed.
Then a flurry of activity ensued.
She's seen all kinds of people; the number of men who want to pursue her could form a reinforced platoon.
There's nothing that can't be said.
But these big boys are much cuter than those men.
Qiao Yu pondered how to respond to Su Jinbei's deadly attack.
Then she sighed, "Actually, I envy you and Jingjing. It's true that siblings bicker and tease each other."
"I am an only child, but I have several cousins. We often quarreled, fought, and argued when we were young, but we had a very good relationship."
"As we grow older, influenced by our parents, distance, and interests, we become increasingly estranged from them."
“You are a very good boy. Jingjing often teases you that you can’t find a girlfriend.”
"Actually, the things you did for her—writing songs, playing the piano—would have won over any other girl long ago."
Qiao Yu let out a long breath: "That scared me to death."
Su Jinbei tilted her head, her eyes blank.
Qiao Yu laughed and said, "I thought Sister Jinbei was going to say: You are a very outstanding boy, but I have always regarded you as a younger brother."
Su Jinbei chuckled.
While Su Jinbei was taking a shower, Qiao Yu decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with his sister.
That's how it's played in the movies.
The stepmother and the unruly child had a deep heart-to-heart talk.
By appealing to their emotions and reasoning with them, the child can eventually accept you.
There are also losers who go to great lengths, crying as they express their feelings.
He successfully changed his image in the goddess's eyes.
Qiao Yu decided to try to ease the awkwardness of the day by having a heart-to-heart talk.
He knocked on the door and went inside.
Qiao Jingjing leaned against the bed, covered with a blanket, while the air conditioner blasted out cool air.
A pair of delicate, fair feet peeked out from under the blanket, their toes fidgeting restlessly.
Qiao Jingjing was looking down at her phone.
Upon seeing her eccentric younger brother enter, Su Bai's face immediately adopted a cold expression.
She turned her head away, deliberately avoiding looking at him.
"I laughed, sis. It happened during the day."
Qiao Jingjing's expression changed, and she said calmly:
"Don't call me sister, I'm not your sister."
Qiao Jingjing also realized what was happening, and in her daze, she was coaxed by her younger brother into giving her a wet kiss.
Qiao Yu wanted to say: You're not my sister, I'm not my brother, we're just right... but he knew that some things had to be done step by step.
So he apologized with a dry laugh and said, "If you're not my sister, then who is?"
Qiao Jingjing said loudly, "I don't care who it is, don't call me sister, you're moving back home tomorrow."
How can I apologize to you with such an uncooperative attitude?
"I think we need to talk."
"No need to talk about it, I don't have a brother like you..."
Uh……
There's no such scene in the movie. What should you do if you encounter someone who doesn't want to have a heart-to-heart talk?
Should I cry for her?
"Alright, alright, I'll leave tomorrow. I came in to talk about your new song," Qiao Yu said helplessly.
My sister has never been so "furious".
In his experience, this was the point where the conversation couldn't continue.
To steer the discussion off-topic and to shift the focus of the conflict.
Qiao Jingjing thought for a moment, her face still gloomy, but her tone softened slightly: "You have another song?"
"Yes, yes, I've been preparing this for you."
"Then write down the lyrics and music tomorrow, then pack your bags and move back to live with your parents."
Why don't you just follow the script?
Shouldn't we tacitly avoid mentioning this now?
Qiao Yu had no choice but to take his leave.
Is he really going to move back home to live with his parents?
of course not.
Qiao Yu could still distinguish between his sister's angry words and her true feelings.
If Qiao Jingjing gets really angry.
They wouldn't have waited until now to say it; they would have told Qiao Yu to pack his bags and get out of there this afternoon.
Although my parents' names are on the property certificate.
