Quick transmigration, she doesn't love anyone!

Chapter 188 Sea King's Fake Gold × BrotherChildhood FriendFriend's Teacher (18)

Zhan Yi continued working, while Zhan Yan fiddled around and messed with things, clearly not focused on her studies.

But he wasn't annoyed. Habits aren't formed overnight. He had learned about Zhan Yan's past study situation in the past two days, and it couldn't be worse than before. The fact that she was sitting obediently now was a kind of progress.

Is Zhan Yan a quiet person?

"elder brother?"

Zhan Yi looked up.

"Can I go out and play for a while?" Even in school, there's a break time.

Zhan Yan's eyes were filled with longing.

"how long?"

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Zhan Yan immediately beamed, "Four hours?"

Zhan Yi looked at her coldly.

Based on an eight-hour workday, that means she needs to take half a day off.

"Then...three hours?" Zhan Yan asked, looking aggrieved.

Zhan Yi paused for a moment, glanced at the time, and made a decision directly, "Half an hour, go."

He's very busy, so dealing with Zhan Yan doesn't require any discussion.

Half an hour is just enough time to go outside for a walk, but not enough time to do anything else.

Zhan Yan was dissatisfied with his autocratic rule, and she still wanted to try to win him over, so she carefully crafted her words and put on a fawning smile.

"Brother~ just one hour~" Acting cute is always effective; one trick will get you everywhere.

Zhan Yi didn't even look up. "You have 29 minutes left."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhan Yan quickly got up and rushed out; she was so bored.

Zhan Yi raised his eyes and frowned. What's outside? Wouldn't it be better to do something practical than to run around outside every day?

What's outside? That's a good question. The dazzling world is captivating.

Zhan Yan's heart was captivated; she didn't want to go back.

They dawdled for over an hour, during which Zhan Yi didn't make a single phone call.

He didn't contact her, which made Zhan Yan feel uneasy.

The more anxious I am, the less I dare to go back; the less I dare to go back, the more anxious I become.

Feeling uneasy, I made an appointment to meet Xu Qingye.

Life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

Xu Qingye looked at the person opposite him who was clearly distracted and felt a moment of sadness.

"Yan Yan, what have you been busy with these past few days? I haven't been able to see you and I miss you so much."

Zhan Yan glanced at him, "Busy dating."

It's the truth, but it's not pleasant to hear.

Xu Qingye was silent for a moment, then said, "You...don't send me away."

She didn't care about him at all anymore, and her words were pushing him further away.

He did indeed owe her a lot during the two years he was abroad. She had never treated him like this before; he must have hurt her feelings.

Zhan Yan remained silent. "Can I send you away?"

He's always clinging to her. If she weren't anxious about whether to go back and trying to distract herself, she wouldn't have come to see him at all.

Xu Qingye felt wronged and upset. Zhan Yan glanced at him, met his hurt gaze, and pondered for a moment.

"If you do me a favor, I'll forgive you."

She knows how to turn the tables and shift the blame.

But when Xu Qingye heard there was hope, his eyes lit up instantly.

An hour later, in the top-floor office of the Zhan Group, Zhan Yi leaned back in his chair and coldly stared at the person in front of him.

"Bro, my boyfriend is injured! Look, it's really bad. He can't do without me taking care of him!"

I don't know how she convinced Xu Qingye to fake a serious injury and wrap himself in bandages again and again.

Of course, Zhan Yan wasn't stupid. Instead of bringing the person to Zhan Yi, she showed him a video as proof.

Zhan Yi's face showed a mocking expression, "Hmm, then why did you leave him behind and come back?"

This is of course because, “Brother, you haven’t had lunch yet, have you? The thought that you might be hungry while waiting for me to eat makes me sad, so I still want to come back and have lunch with you. I’ll go see him this afternoon.”

The first half of the sentence was acceptable, but the last half made one's teeth itch with anger.

"His injuries are so severe; it looks like he'll be disabled for life even if he recovers. Are you going to take care of him?"

"Huh? I... he doesn't need me to support him, I just need to visit him often." Was she overdoing it? Zhan Yan thought that if she made it sound serious, her brother would at least say something to show concern, and then he would forget to criticize her.

Zhan Yi looked at her and said, "A person should have feelings and loyalty. How about we take her home and raise her? What do you think?"

He kept making things up until he discovered for the first time that Zhan Yan was someone who would lie to her parents.

Zhan Yan's smile froze. "Well... that won't be necessary. The doctor said it's very serious and he might not live more than a few days, so let's not trouble ourselves."

It's okay, it's just a little regrettable that we can't use Xu Qingye as a shield anymore.

Zhan Yi paused for a moment, comforting himself, "Don't be angry, Zhan Yan can still be saved. She just lacks a bit of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness."

On the bright side, even if she was cursing that guy just to lie, it means she wasn't entirely a simp.

"Zhanyan, you still have a lot to learn."

She's clearly not entirely honest to be a good person, and she's not clever enough to be a bad person; even her little lie is clumsy and inept. No way.

He's bad at everything – being a good person, doing good work, and pursuing knowledge. How did he manage to do it?

She's my younger sister, not an employee, so I can't fire her.

Zhan Yi was trying to comfort himself, while Zhan Yan looked confused. "I still have so much to learn!"

"Brother, have you eaten yet?"

Zhan Yi kept his head down, busy with his work. "Hmm, not yet."

The accusation of "going hungry just thinking about you waiting for me to eat" was slapped on me a few minutes ago.

He had expected Zhan Yan wouldn't be back today, but he hadn't expected her to be so bold.

Zhan Yan looked embarrassed. "What a coincidence, I didn't have any either." Of course not, she had just finished eating and came back; it was already so late.

Both of them, who had already eaten, forced themselves to have lunch again, albeit symbolically.

In the afternoon, Zhan Yan didn't dare to cause any more trouble, fearing that Zhan Yi would really get angry.

"Not causing trouble" means staying quietly in the office and taking a nap.

There's nothing I can do; I just can't get into the book.

She was worried at first, but seeing that Zhan Yi didn't care, she felt relieved and went to sleep.

On the way back, Zhan Yan slept soundly all afternoon, while Zhan Yi rested with his eyes closed beside her.

Zhan Yan looked at his profile and, as if possessed, leaned in and kissed him.

Zhan Yi suddenly opened his eyes, frowned, and glanced at Zhan Yan.

"what are you doing?"

He wasn't sure if Zhan Yan had just kissed him.

Meeting his questioning gaze, Zhan Yan looked completely innocent. "Brother, you work so hard to earn money."

He works on weekends, what a great brother!

Zhan Yi paused for a moment, dismissing his suspicion and discomfort; he was simply too nervous.

"That's why you need to study even harder."

Here we go again. Zhan Yan covered her ears and pretended to be dead.

Moral blackmail is ineffective.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, until they got home, when Zhan Yan, carefree and oblivious, had long forgotten about it.

Back in the house, she happily called Qi Rang.

Honestly, it's strange. They officially became a couple today, but they haven't even met in person.

Zhan Yan felt relieved after agreeing to visit him the next day.

Then I replied to messages to other babies one after another, and video chatted with Jiang Yizhou and Song Zhiqi.

Really, the world needs her so much; so many people need her comfort.

Talking too much is tiring.

V09 in the system space has been unhappy for a long time. This world is too complicated. His Xiaoxiao has to talk to this person and that person. He feels uncomfortable.

"Xiaoxiao, isn't the plot getting a bit off track? It seems like the male lead doesn't even like you." It was just a friendly reminder, not out of jealousy.

In a normal storyline, they should be deeply in love and heartbreak at this point. They're still good brothers and sisters, with no romantic development whatsoever, and it seems like there's no chance for them to get together.

Yao Xiaoxiao remained noncommittal, "Yeah, it's almost his turn."

The second male lead, Jiang Yizhou, has also suffered enough heartbreak. After dealing with Qi Rang these past two days, he'll be facing Zhan Yi.
