Yu Minglang took Xiao Qian back, and it was already dark, with the streetlights on.
As they left Dayuan, Xiao Qian asked Yu Minglang.
“Do your brothers treat you well?”
“My eldest brother is quite older than me and my second brother, he’s always been the one indulging and taking care of us. As for my second brother… do you think he’s cold?”
Xiao Qian nodded.
“My eldest brother and second brother are opposites. My eldest brother is always smiling, but he has a darker heart and is very ruthless when dealing with things outside; but when he comes home, he always gives in to us. My second brother looks cold but has a soft heart. When I was a kid and got into trouble, he would always help me out. But no one believed him because he was the good kid in my parents’ eyes – I even suspect that as a straight-laced person, he doesn’t engage in the kind of activities and pleasures that other guys his age do. He’s so good that he’s almost unnatural.”
“…So are you proud of yourself for doing those things?” She complained.
“Don’t talk nonsense. I don’t do any of that stuff.”
Xiao Qian didn’t bother to argue with him. She lowered her head and thought about the situation with her second sister-in-law. Yu Minglang seemed to have a good relationship with his second brother. If this was the case, how should she handle the situation with her second sister-in-law…
If she exposed it, things would go awry. She didn’t want to get herself involved in their problems.
“Tomorrow I’ll take you out for fun. We still have one day off and we haven’t had a date yet.” Yu Minglang didn’t know about Xiao Qian’s dilemma, but his casual words conveyed a sense of intimacy.
Yu Minglang didn’t want to send her home at all. Every meeting was precious, and he wished he could stick to her every second, seeing her was never enough. A warm current flowed through Xiao Qian’s heart.
She thought of how he had shown up in time to help her earlier. This guy cared a lot about her and took her very seriously.
He didn’t mind being with someone who had Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder like her, so she decided to not avoid the issue too much.
“By the way, give me the earring your second sister-in-law gave you. I’ll have my cousin get you something else.”
“No need. This earring might have to be returned to her later.” If her second sister-in-law divorced, Xiao Qian would naturally return her gift.
“Why would you return it? Do you look down on me?” Yu Minglang thought that he had managed to extract the gift from his stingy sister-in-law by his own abilities and refused to return it.
“Shameless.” Xiao Qian cast a glance at him. “I don’t know how to explain it. It’s just complicated.”
Yu Minglang took out his phone, “Call your home and tell them you’ll be back a little later.”
“Why?”
“So we can chat properly.” The point was, the more time they had to talk, the better.
Xiao Qian called her home, and as soon as Jia Xiufang answered the phone, she exploded.
“Chen Xiaoqian! What’s wrong with you! Hurry back now!”
“I’m with Yu Minglang, everything’s fine—- ”
“Nothing is fine! What’s the deal with the child!” Jia Xiufang received a call from Fourth Uncle in the afternoon, saying that the Old Lady was crying at home, because Xiaoqian was pregnant…
Jia Xiufang was dismayed all afternoon, unable to contact her daughter, anxiously waiting until evening, and finally received a call from her.
“Pff!” Xiao Qian laughed, almost forgetting about that earlier.
When Chu Xue had blocked Grandmother, she had shifted the topic onto herself. Grandmother must have thought that she was pregnant with Yu Minglang’s child.
“You can still laugh? If you dare to get pregnant during school, I’ll break your legs!” Jia Xiufang had been crying all afternoon, and when she finally heard from her daughter, she became furious.
“That child is not mine, it’s Chu Xue’s. Mom, here’s what happened this afternoon…”
After a brief explanation, there was silence on Jia Xiufang’s end.
“She… is having your father’s child?”
“Why do you care? They’re divorced now. I might be home a bit later, so wait for me. Go to the night market and buy some grilled chicken wings and hand-crafted pancakes for me.”
Xiao Qian hung up the phone and Yu Minglang asked.
“Hungry? Didn’t you eat enough at my house?”
“Grilling chicken wings takes time, and there’s a queue for hand-crafted pancakes. In addition to the time it takes to get there and back, she’ll have no time to think about this stuff. I need to find something for her to do, or else she’ll start overthinking things when she’s idle.”
Yu Minglang chuckled. This little girl had so many schemes up her sleeve.
He took Xiao Qian to the square where many people were taking a walk. Xiao Qian looked at the strolling elderly people and the corners of her mouth twitched.
“Why did you bring me here?”
“To talk about the situation.” In his mind, a nighttime date location was this square. It was great – the air was fresh, there were lights, and if he wanted a kiss, there was a small grove of trees nearby, perfect for getting a little closer. Heh heh!
Xiao Qian didn’t want to stroll around like an old lady. It looked silly.
She pointed to the cold drink shop across the square.
“Let’s go there.”
A few minutes later, they found a spot by the window and ordered two cold drinks. There weren’t many people around, so it was convenient to talk.
“I met your second sister-in-law before, the day before our welcome party.” “My second brother did mention that she saw him then. And then what?” “I saw your second sister-in-law with a lot of medicine, including some for treating anxiety, and some that… are for a more serious issue.” “What is a more serious issue?” Yu Minglang didn’t understand.
Xiao Qian mentioned a gynecological disease related to human organs and then added, “That, it can be transmitted… sexually…”
She only mentioned part of it, not disclosing that she suspected the anxiety was related to sex. As a professional psychologist, she wouldn’t make a conclusion without a detailed diagnosis. But even these two pieces of information were enough to alarm someone.
“Damn!” Yu Minglang stood up decisively and went out with a dark expression.
Xiao Qian guessed that he must be calling his second brother.
Looking out the window, Yu Minglang was indeed standing by the side of the road with his phone. The expression on his face was hard to see because of the flickering street lights, but she guessed that he must be extremely annoyed now.
Yu Minglang said that his second brother was good to him, and Xiao Qian could judge that from the fact that during the new student training, Second Brother Yu had come to school to support her. The brothers must all have a good relationship.
After weighing the options, Xiao Qian decided to be direct. Yu Minglang reacted immediately, showing he didn’t hide things from people.
Yu Minglang called Yu Mingyi’s office. The phone was picked up after only two rings; his second brother was indeed working overtime.
“Second brother, have you had a recent physical examination?”
“Yes.”
“Any abnormalities?”
“No.”
Yu Minglang was puzzled. His second brother’s physical examinations were notoriously strict – if his second brother said there was no problem… did that mean they were taking precautions in their daily lives?
“Do you have time tonight?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll come by in two hours. I’ll contact you then.”
“Alright.”
When Yu Mingyi hung up the phone, he lowered his eyes. With his younger brother suddenly asking about this, he could guess why he was coming over.
Yu Minglang sent Xiao Qian home, reluctantly kissing her forehead. He had wanted to spend more time with her today, but it seemed impossible now.
“Get some rest early.”
Xiao Qian looked at his gloomy face, knowing that he was in a bad mood.
“Yu Minglang, everyone has their own fate. You’re his younger brother, and as long as you’ve done what you should, his final choice is his own.”
“You know why I’m upset?” Yu Minglang was surprised.
He was indeed upset. When his second brother first talked about getting married, why didn’t he say more? It had turned out like this, and he felt responsible.
Xiao Qian gently touched his serious face, “Sometimes, being too responsible can backfire. Just take care of yourself. I think your second brother knows what he’s doing.”
“You should go to bed early too.” Yu Minglang’s thoughts were all focused on his second brother now..
