Xia Qingqing opened the door and ran into her brother's deep but complicated eyes without warning.
Her heartbeat was still skipping a beat. It turned out that she still couldn't resist her brother, even if it was just a look.
For the first time in so many days, Xia Qingqing looked at her brother so close.
He looks more haggard and even has deep dark circles under his eyes. Is he busy with the company?
It was the first time in so many years that I looked at the oil bottle so close, and I felt very friendly.
Just looking at it like this, the inexplicable irritability in her heart miraculously calmed down, and the emptiness that had been lingering for many days was filled by her.
Her face is still fair but lacks blood. Is it because she studies too hard?
You Ping's face was so serious that Ouyang Lingyun had hardly seen her smile these days.
Did he really hurt her?
As if they couldn't get enough, the two stared at each other for a long time, both looking for the comfort in their hearts from each other's eyes.
"Brother, is something wrong?"
Finally, Xia Qingqing spoke and broke the silence.
"Youping, I'm sorry."
Ouyang Lingyun apologized sincerely. He felt that no matter what the reason was, he needed to apologize to her.
"Why apologize?"
Xia Qingqing was a little startled by her brother's sudden apology, and asked in confusion.
"Because...because..."
Ouyang Lingyun murmured in a deep voice, with an embarrassed look on his face, quite embarrassed.
Whether it was because he was unintentionally scornful of her or because he drove her away, he couldn't tell him.
"Okay, I accept your apology. Brother, I'm going to bed, good night."
She didn't want to see her brother in trouble, so no matter what reason he apologized for, she would accept it.
Xia Qingqing gave a distant smile, hurriedly said good night, and then gently closed the door without waiting for her brother's reaction.
Can't watch any more!
Xia Qingqing told herself this!
The defense she had finally built up couldn't collapse just because she looked at her brother like this a few times!
The door has been closed for a long time, and Ouyang Lingyun is still standing outside the door with a sense of loss, unable to react.
Did she really accept his apology? Why didn't her cold attitude change at all?
Oil bottles weren't like this before, were they?
Didn't she always find various excuses to pester him?
Why are you ignoring him now?
Even if he took the initiative to come to her, she wouldn't want to say a few more words?
Did the past self treat her like this? What did she think before?
An inexplicable feeling of loss hit his heart. Ouyang Lingyun touched his left chest and felt that it was even emptier.

"Hey, woman, you've been quite depraved lately. Why don't you go to night study every day? Do you want to lose to me?"
Shangguan Jin asked puzzledly, he was not used to being the only one empty around him every night.
"Who said I'm degenerate? I'm studying at home!"
Xia Qingqing answered while writing her homework without raising her head.
"Why do you need to study at home?"
Shangguan Jin put down his pen and looked at Xia Qingqing blankly, and found that the serious side of this woman's face was quite telling.
"because……"
Xia Qingqing was about to say, "It's because my brother asked me to go home to study on my own," but she paused as she spoke. Why did she mention her brother?
"Because I have a 'secret weapon' at home."
Xia Qingqing raised her head, smiled mysteriously at Shangguan Jin, and said slyly.
"Okay, then starting from tonight, I will also go to your home for self-study and fight side by side with you."
Shangguan Jin made up his mind and said, studying alone is too boring.
"No! Eleven thousand are not good!"
Take Shangguan Jin home? It’s better to let brother know!
"Well, woman, I might as well tell you."
Shangguan Jin pretended to speak seriously, and Xia Qingqing sighed secretly.
Alas, this brat is doing this again!
"Last night, my mom made a fuss and hanged herself at home. She said that if I didn't marry you back, she would die in front of me and my dad. Alas, you said I was following my mom's last wish.
Should you marry him back, or should you be loyal to your brother and let my mother hang herself... It’s really hard to have both loyalty and filial piety!"
Every time Shangguan Jin wanted her to compromise, he would pull Shangguan's wife out and give a passionate and impassioned performance, and the little woman would obey obediently, and it worked every time.
Idiot, do you know how to use words? Last wish, his mother is not dead yet, okay?
Loyalty and filial piety are both important. She is not the emperor, so should he be loyal to her?
Well, she was defeated by this idiot.
Just take him home to study on his own, otherwise with his level of writing, it might be difficult for him to pass the Chinese language exam.

"Hey, woman, isn't this the secret weapon you mentioned?"
Scanning the sparrow hut that the little woman could see at a glance, her eyes fell on an eye-catching white-covered review manual on the small desk.
Shangguan Jin picked it up and said disapprovingly, extremely disappointed.
"Give it back to me, this is mine!"
Xia Qingqing grabbed the book and held it in her arms. It was so precious, as if she was afraid that Shangguan Jin would damage it with his rough hands and feet.
"You're so stingy, I can't even look at it! Aren't we going to fight side by side to take the Cambridge exam together? If you pass the exam and I don't, who will give me a girlfriend?"
The more precious the little woman is, the more Shangguan Jin wants to see what is written in that book.
"Okay, okay, I can show it to you. But there are three rules to the offer: first, you are not allowed to curl the pages, not even a corner; second, you are not allowed to take notes on them, not even with pencils; third, you are not allowed to touch them.
Go wash your hands beforehand and don't get my secret weapon dirty."
"Look at the miniature you cherish? Is this secret manual made of gold?"
Shangguan Jin couldn't bear it and hit Xia Qingqing on the head, and couldn't help but joke.
"What? If you don't agree, I won't give it!"

"Hey, Shangguan Jin, please be gentler!"
When passing by You Ping's room, I heard You Ping's coquettish voice coming from the room.
Ouyang Lingyun's steps immediately stopped, and all the alert cells in his body immediately stood up.
Why is Shangguan Jin here?!
They, what are they doing?
What do you mean by ‘be gentler with your hands!’?!
