Quick transmigration, she doesn't love anyone!

Chapter 203 Sea King's Fake Gold × BrotherChildhood FriendFriend's Teacher (33)

Zhan Yi arrived quickly, and Xu Qingye hadn't had enough of being with him yet, leaving him with a sense of regret.

Unfortunately, Zhan Yan was blind and could not understand his pain of parting.

It's not like we'll never see each other again, why be so dramatic?

She looked at her brother in the back seat as she got on the bus and asked in confusion.

"Brother, will you still be busy in the future?"

Zhan Yi paused for a moment, then patted her head. "No need to rush."

At her age, she probably needs her family a lot. Her father is unreliable, and she rarely sees her brother. It's normal that she doesn't like going home over time.

Zhan Yi felt a pang of heartache and regret, and promised:

I'll spend more time with you from now on.

Zhan Yan smiled happily upon hearing this, and unexpectedly leaned in to kiss him, saying, "I love you~"

Look at her, a handsome, outstanding, and caring older brother—she's so proud.

He didn't notice Zhan Yi's complicated expression at all.

However, Zhan Yan's love has an expiration date, and so does her filial piety.

She hopes her brother will come home more often, but not too often, as that would put too much of a burden on her.

She could have lived a carefree life every day, but because she had an empty-nest brother at home, she had to go back to her house every day.

After enduring for half a month, Zhan Yan chose the gentlest path between filial piety and rebellion.

She knocked on the study door late at night, opened it cautiously, and saw the person still working looking up at her. Zhan Yan smiled ingratiatingly, closed the door, and obediently sat opposite Zhan Yi, watching him work.

Her face practically screamed, "I need help, ask me quickly."

Zhan Yi found it amusing, put down what he was holding, and asked cooperatively, "What's wrong?"

Zhan Yan looked embarrassed, mainly because she had never done such a thing before and felt a little guilty. For a moment, she felt like one of those feudal patriarchs.

After hesitating for a while, he tentatively asked, "Brother, do you want to be in a relationship?"

Zhan Yi's heart skipped a beat, but he quickly realized what was happening and his expression gradually turned cold as he looked at her, waiting for her to continue.

Zhan Yan didn't notice his strange behavior and thought she had a chance, so she became more proactive and took out a stack of documents from behind her.

"Dad said that these families are interested in marriage alliances with our family. I took a look, and these ladies are all very outstanding and beautiful, and they are also very capable at work. Would you like to learn more about them?"

Fearing that Zhan Yi might misunderstand, she quickly added, "I didn't mean for you to get married. I just... I just hope you can find someone to date and have someone to keep you company. Actually, dating can be very enjoyable."

Zhan Yi stared at her silently, making Zhan Yan feel uneasy. She stammered, "..."

"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. I... I'll talk to Dad. He's too old-fashioned!"

Even though it was my own suggestion and I asked for the information, if my brother doesn't like it, I'll just pass it on to my father. Anyway, they don't get along, so my brother probably won't bother to verify it.

Zhan Yan felt uneasy, but she also felt that she hadn't done anything wrong. If he didn't want to talk about it, he shouldn't. She hadn't forced him, so why was he looking at her so fiercely?

After a long pause, he finally spoke, "You want me to date and get married?"

"No... I don't think so?" Zhan Yan didn't give a definitive answer. Anyway, it was all her father's decision, and it had nothing to do with her.

innocent.

"Okay, go out." Zhan Yi lowered his eyes and continued with what he was doing, no longer looking at her.

Zhan Yan stood up blankly, hesitated for a moment, and tentatively placed the documents on the table. When she met Zhan Yi's raised eyes, she quickly took them away.

If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. It's her brother's bad luck to miss out on those beautiful women. He's a workaholic; he'll spend his whole life working.

Zhan Yan ignored him and went back to her room to sleep. After she left, Zhan Yi slammed the documents in his hand on the table, sat there for a long time with a tired frown, his eyes deep and unsure of what he was thinking.

Zhan Yan's life has become very fulfilling since she finished her exams, except for the fact that she has to go home every day, which she finds unsatisfactory.

However, Zhan Yi went on a business trip again, which was a godsend for her.

After spending some time with Jiang Yizhou, she was about to go home. She figured her brother should be home today, and he would be unhappy if she didn't go back.

Sure enough, the family was in the living room as soon as I got home.

She greeted everyone with a sweet smile.

Her brother is going through menopause now, and he's acting strangely every day.

Who is the kind person in your family who sits alone in the living room with their eyes closed, seemingly resting?

Let him be. Not long after Zhan Yan went upstairs, she received a call from Qi Rang, asking her to go out.

After hesitating for a moment, I got up and went downstairs.

Zhan Yi saw her wave, clearly indicating that he had something to tell her.

Zhan Yan, puzzled, stepped forward and sat down next to him.

Zhan Yi acted strangely, looking at her without saying a word, patting her head, and then sighing after a long while.

"Is the company going bankrupt?" Zhan Yan was scared. She had never seen her brother so distressed before. What else could be causing him worry besides bankruptcy?

Zhan Yi chuckled reassuringly, "Don't overthink it."

Seeing her confusion, he pondered for a while, then asked as if seeking her opinion:

"Do you think my brother is really at the age where he should get married?"

Zhan Yan hopes he has a partner, but he himself is conflicted, wondering if he should really give it a try and try to get himself back on track.

Zhan Yan nodded. It's better to harm your brother than yourself. Let's get married. Once we're married, we won't have time to care about ourselves. We're just too free right now. The Zhan family has developed too successfully.

Zhan Yi was silent for a moment. The moment he asked the question, he realized that what he thought he was struggling with these past few days was whether or not to get married against his will, but it turned out that he just wanted to ask her and get a negative answer from her.

Undeterred, she asked, "What if... what if I get married and that person treats you badly?"

Zhan Yan frowned. "She's not my wife, so why should she be nice to me? Besides, if she really bullies me, I'll bully her back. And if we can't get along, then you should move out."

However, this possibility is unlikely. She has always been more likable than her brother since childhood. If her future sister-in-law could like a serious and old-fashioned person like her brother, there is no reason why she would not like someone as lively and cheerful as her.

strange.

She doesn't even have a boyfriend, so why is her brother already anxious about getting married?

Zhan Yi was disappointed; not a single word of it was something he wanted to hear.

"Are you going out?"

She just got back, finished her exams, and is now on holiday. But she's always out of the loop, never home.

Zhan Yan nodded, "Yes, I'm going out to meet a friend."

It was rare that he wasn't her boyfriend, which made Zhan Yi feel much better, but he still reminded her, "It's getting cold, come back early tonight."

Zhan Yan readily agreed. She really could agree to this. Anyway, she couldn't sleep with Qi Rang, and he wasn't her baby. They wouldn't be meeting for long. She was known for being heartless and ruthless.

However, she is destined to break her promise today.

Nothing more than that, she and Qi Rang had reconciled.

This matter was complicated. Even after Qi Rang leaned down and kissed her in the car, Zhan Yan still felt dazed.

"You're really not going to be a teacher anymore?"

Actually, Qi Rang, who is a teacher, is very handsome. She even audited his elective class, but she didn't listen to anything except looking at his face.

Qi Rang didn't seem to care much, saying, "The research institute's environment suits me better."

He really didn't like lecturing. Going to graduate school would allow him to focus on his academic field without having to deal with boring electives and a bunch of troublesome students.

Having taught Zhanyan, he thought he would never want to teach any more students.

Besides, he didn't want to have an additional teacher-student relationship with Zhan Yan. After all, she wasn't from their school before, and now that she wanted to apply to their school, he felt a bit strange.

This wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; he had planned it ever since he talked to Zhan Yan. Now that he had completed his project, he could leave without any burden.

Of course, the most important reason is that he simply can't afford to wait.

Zhan Yan is young and fickle, easily blinded by other women. Right now, she's still attracted to his looks, but will she stop liking him in a couple of years?

The women outside are all younger than him, and they might have more in common with him. Qi Rang didn't want to gamble.
