carrying a dead person or a live one"Pff... that's definitely a problem."Are you going to parade around with the dead" He glared at my brother, speechless.My brother let out a sigh of relief: “That’s...This is the first time I've seen what a little fairy is.

This woman in front of me is indeed petite. She's wearing high heels and a sleeveless puffy dress.

She's not young anymore, probably older than all of us, but she dresses so cutely. She even has a pink crystal cat necklace.

She saw my brother from afar and walked right up to him.

Usually couples sit opposite each other in a cafe. My girlfriend and I went in first and sat facing each other. My brother naturally sat outside me, so he was also face-to-face with my girlfriend, making it convenient for them to communicate.

But this woman walked over and sat right next to my brother, lifting one arm and putting it on his shoulder, leaning her whole body against him.

"Little brother, it's been a long time! Why haven't you replied to my messages~~" she said in a sweet and coquettish voice.

This kind of coquettishness is too much, isn't she trying to stir up trouble

And while he was speaking, he kept staring at me, his eyes full of provocation.

What's this, are you aiming your fire at me

My brother and I live under the same roof every day, and we also work together when we go out to handle things. The tacit understanding between the two of us looks unusual in the eyes of outsiders.

This woman might have been watching us for a while, she saw how my brother takes care of me and mistook me for a rival

Calling me "Brother" and being a senior sister from school You should already be graduated, aren't you Graduated and still dressing so revealingly Where do you work

My face was pale, and the woman immediately smirked at me and Lin Yanqin: "Little brother, you haven't contacted me for so long, so you want to try something new"

My brother frowned. He couldn't possibly throw the person out in public, so he just grumbled, "What do you want to change"

"Didn't I say before, if you wanted to try a double date, I could introduce you to a cute girl You scolded me for being a troublemaker back then. Now how come you're here with two girls checking into a room" She pouted, giving him a playful and accusing look.

My brother sneered, "You used to be a troublemaker, now you're courting death."

She snorted and immediately turned her attention to me: "This is your new girlfriend She has such big breasts, where did she get them done She's quite pretty, introduce me to the doctor, please."

Huh Is this harming me

"Your chest looks pretty good too, but the silicone is a bit too big, the cleavage you're showing is kind of awkward. You should find a good doctor, don't just go for the cheapest option." I said with a smile.

"You—" She turned her head angrily and asked my brother, "Do you have time today"

"No."

"What about tomorrow"

"Neither."

"When will you have time then, hmm" she coquettishly teased.

My brother smiled and said, “There won't be any more.”

She narrowed her eyes and said, "What You're serious"

My brother nodded in agreement, making a mistake: “Yes, I won’t have time later, you should make plans with someone else.”

That woman grumbled resentfully, "What's so great about her! Couldn't she spend more time having fun"

"I'm done, there's no point in playing anymore." My brother said lazily.

She stomped her foot angrily, and as a result, she stepped on the edge of the booth. She stumbled and fell down. My brother reflexively reached out to grab her, preventing her from landing face-first.

She was about to act cute, and my brother let go of her hand, clapping his hands and saying, "Stop acting up, you're 28 years old already, just be more mature. Some things are just not worth the trouble."

She snorted and walked away in high heels.

I scoffed, "Here I am, your shield again!"

My brother patted my head: "Alright, alright, scapegoat. Thanks."

I stole a glance at Lin Yanqin. Miss Lin remained silent throughout, her face showing no significant change in expression.

Does she not care

In this situation, my brother can't just stay silent.

My brother was also a little flustered, scratching his head trying to organize his thoughts. This sudden event wasn't exactly big or small, but it was rather awkward.

The three of us were all the kind who had zero dating experience, so at this moment, we didn't know what to say to ease the awkward atmosphere.

In the end, it was Lin Yanqin who spoke up.

"Is that lady your friend"

“ ... Well, the kind of friend you sleep with.” My brother replied in a deliberately grating tone.

"It looks very charming and there are things worth learning from it," Lin Yanqin smiled, a bit reluctantly.

"Huh" My brother was a little surprised, looking at Lin Yanqin's composure, he felt a bit out of place.

Shouldn't you be pounding the table and throwing a tantrum in this situation

I frowned. "Yán Qìn, you don't need to learn from her. She can't even reach your skirt hem, so don't bother with her."

Lin Yanqin managed a strained smile, picked up her small handbag and stood up, saying: "Really Thank you for the compliment. I...I'm going to the restroom."

My brother wasn't stupid enough to let it go that far. He immediately stood up and pulled her, dragging her straight to the corner outside the bathroom.

I can see their movements from this position, however… there's no room for big moves in a place like this.

I saw Lin Yanqin's hands holding his waist.

Suddenly, I felt a sense of bewilderment—that figure wasn't the one who always laughed mischievously, even when the sky was falling.

That was a man's back.

Lin Yanqin's hands were clasped so tightly, it was evident how close the embrace between the two was.

My brother shielded himself from the curious stares of passersby. His lowered head seemed as if he were kissing it.

Kiss after kiss, he whispered something in her ear, causing Lin Yanqin to rub her tears against his shoulder.

Actually, he was very serious. If he wasn't serious, he could have easily ignored his relationship with Lin Yanqin without a care.

He thought deeper and farther than I did, farther than Miss Lin could have ever imagined.

I took a deep breath, relaxed my shoulders, and sank into the booth, staring at the teacup in front of me.

There may be insurmountable obstacles between them, but as long as the two people have confidence, the final outcome will not be too bad—at worst, they simply won't get married. After all, Miss Lin is unwilling to marry, who can really force her

Actually, they are better off than me. I can't see Jiang Qiyun whenever I want, but at least Miss Lin can come to my house to play anytime she wants.

I would have to experience death firsthand to proactively seek out Jiang Qiyun.

It's pointless to think so much. If I could freely accompany him through the Three Realms, my immortal journey would be long and fulfilling.

Thinking about this, I got up and prepared to return to the banquet hall first.

As soon as I got up, a cold voice said unpleasantly, "Mu Xia Qiao, you want to leave right after I arrive"

“Huh” I looked up, bewildered.

A man who calls me by my name... there aren't many like that, almost only him.

The river rises.

He stood at the edge of the booth, wearing that white shirt and black trousers, the top button undone, his sleeves casually rolled up to his forearms.

Casually dressed, with a languid and relaxed demeanor, his ink-black hair was tied up and piled on one shoulder. His expression showed impatience, and an aura surrounded him that drew the eye. He was strikingly handsome, like a deity.

No…

He was a deity all along.if even the soil beneath my feet was tainted with poison.It was strange, though, that these small snakes circled around me, leaving a small patch of open space.When I discovered this situation, it was...
