Because I like Shangguan Jin, I feel sad and want to cry because of his opposition.
But when he thought that You Ping had fallen in love with Shangguan Jin, he felt a tearing cramping pain spreading from his left chest like limbs.
My brother’s deep eyes are so complicated.
It seemed like questioning, like being angry, like...even, a bit like being hurt.
It was too complicated and she couldn't understand why her brother looked so nervous about the answer.
"Is that okay?"
Xia Qingqing asked back, her attitude ambiguous.
"You dare!"
Ouyang Lingyun objected reflexively, and Xia Qingqing felt her arm being squeezed tighter.
"Why not?"
Xia Qingqing asked excitedly, feeling uneasy in her heart.
Could it be that her brother was so strongly opposed to her being friends with Shangguan Jin because...
No! She really didn't want to associate the reason with what Mommy said.
"Because you are..."
Because you are mine!
Ouyang Lingyun instinctively wanted to blurt out, but when the words came to his lips, he paused.
Ouyang Lingyun was frightened by his strong possessiveness.
"What am I?"
Xia Qingqing wanted to know her brother's true thoughts and wanted a different explanation from her mother.
Even if it's what mommy said, it doesn't matter. She can tell her brother clearly that she won't like Shangguan Jin, and he can safely let her be friends with Shangguan Jin.
"Because you are a high school student and you are not allowed to fall in love early!"
Obviously, her brother's answer was as perfunctory as doing Tai Chi, which disappointed her greatly.
"I know, but I'm about to graduate from high school. I can go to college, right?"
Xia Qingqing was angry and wanted to go against her brother, deliberately irritating him.
"Shangguan Jin also wants to take the Cambridge exam?"
Ouyang Lingyun asked vigilantly, thinking of the villain's success in Shangguan Jin's manual.
"yes."
"Damn it, if he tests you, you won't be allowed to take the test. Give me back the review manual!"
'Stingy, I won't pay it back!'
"As you can see, the manual has been borrowed and I can't return it even if I want to."
Xia Qingqing protested dissatisfied in her heart, shrugged playfully and said innocently, withdrew the arm held by her brother and left.
"Wait a moment!"
Ouyang Lingyun stopped the oil bottle with a low voice. There was something he hadn't said yet.
Xia Qingqing raised her head in confusion, looking at her slightly embarrassed brother, waiting for his next words.
"I hurt you just now when I said those words. I didn't mean to. I take it back now. I'm sorry."
"But, this time, I don't accept the apology."
Xia Qingqing replied firmly with a cold and choked voice.
This time, her brother's words really hurt her self-esteem.
Although this is Ouyang Mansion, isn't it possible for her to bring a classmate here?
Even if it's not possible, she brought everything back. At most, it's just a warning that she won't do it again, and she shouldn't be driven away in person, right?
Her face was completely lost in front of outsiders.
Stinky brother, what do you want me to do? It’s wrong to like you, and it’s so sad not to like you!
Xia Qingqing turned around proudly, turned her back to her brother and left.
Leave the proud back to your brother and the cold tears to yourself.
I felt like a turtle, hurt and wronged, so I hid in my little shack to protect myself.
It doesn't matter if you love it or not love it. You just have to keep it out of sight.
Stinky girl, do you really like Shangguan Jin? Do you really no longer have me in your eyes?
Looking at the distant figure of the oil bottle, they are so close yet seem so far away.
Ouyang Lingyun felt empty in his heart, as if something very precious had been taken away.

Xia Qingqing had just stepped out of the school gate when she saw Murong Zhi's tall figure leaning elegantly next to a luxury car. After seeing her, he greeted her enthusiastically.
"Uncle Murong Da... do you have anything to do with me?"
Not unlike her eldest brother, Xia Qingqing insisted on calling him uncle, so as to separate their seniority and stop him from having any thoughts about her.
"I haven't seen you for a few days. I just wanted to treat Qingqing to a meal."
Murong Zhi pointed to the car not far away and invited him in a very gentlemanly manner.
"Sorry, I have to go home and do my homework." Xia Qingqing hurriedly declined.
"Qingqing, do you hate me?"
Murong Zhi smiled gently and asked very directly.
"No."
Xia Qingqing smiled awkwardly, somewhat against her will.
I don't hate him, but maybe the magnetic field between them is not right. I just feel uncomfortable when I'm with Uncle Murong.
"Then why are you so afraid of being with me?"
"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I don't want to. Because I'm still young and haven't thought about getting married or getting engaged, and I really don't have any feelings for uncle. So please don't mention these things again, and don't come to me again.
It might be better for me, uncle, to spend his time and energy on other people."
Xia Qingqing took the opportunity to express her position again.
"Little girl, you are so direct in your speech. I'm sorry, maybe my behavior was too hasty and scared you. Then, can I be friends with you first?"
Murong Zhi pretended to be hurt, joking, and begged sincerely.
Uncle Murong said all that, if he refused to be a friend, it would seem that he was too stingy.
Xia Qingqing could only nod against her will, not thinking that there would be any friendship between them.
"Since we are friends, it is normal to have dinner together. I have been waiting at the gate of your school for three hours. I just want to use my sincerity to have dinner with Qingqing. Qingqing shouldn't refuse again, right?"
Murong Zhi struck while the iron was hot and invited him again.
"I'm going home right after dinner. I still have a lot of homework to do."
Murong Zhi was so enthusiastic that people couldn't push him away, so Xia Qingqing had no choice but to accept her fate and get in the car.
I was silent all the way, lamenting in my heart.
Oh, what a misfortune. She and Shangguan Jin had nothing to do after school every day, but today Shangguan Jin was called away by Situ Jing, and she met Murong Zhi.

"Jin, I'm sorry. I was wrong. I shouldn't be too arrogant or unreasonable. Can you forgive me? Can we start over?"
Situ Jing burst into tears for the first time and begged Shangguan Jin in a low voice.
