Chapter 194: Nothing to Blow There or Bad Things Will Happen
Dragon Brother (hereafter DA) suddenly felt a cold chill down his spine, like a switch flipped in his brain to “danger alert.” His whole body stiffened for a moment—an instinctual sense of impending doom.
“Bro, you’re so mean,” Hu Yu Ying (Hu) grumbled, no longer willing to defend DA. Honestly, the photos taken from that angle… words fail me.
“Brother, you’ve gone totally over the line this time,” Lin Wan Ning (Lin) added with a tiny pout, feeling just a hint of resentment.
No girl dislikes her looks; everyone cares about their image. But DA’s top-to-bottom sh**t made them look nothing short of a comedy of errors—shorter, chubbier, and their faces drooping like sad balloons, with the worst ugly photos ever taken! Ugly enough to make your eyes bleed.
It was hideous beyond belief.
The two little ones finished their glare at Li Qing Xue (Qing Xue) who, surprisingly, hadn’t jumped to scold DA. Odd, indeed.
If this had been before, Li Qing Xue would have surely been the first to rebel against DA’s nonsense.
Seeing Hu and Lin’s gazes, Qing Xue clenched her tiny fists, shy and embarrassed, and looked at DA with a flushed face: “You, you, you’re so shameless!”
Almost reflexively, she glanced downward at DA’s pants, noticing they were slightly bulging. Her face immediately turned redder, and she hurriedly grabbed Hu and Lin, dragging them aside.
Goodness gracious, how embarrassing! Completely blushing to her roots. Qing Xue had no idea how to face DA now.
She could only temporarily escape in shame.
This time, Hu Yu Ying wasn’t shielding DA anymore—fighting against her two partners in crime, united in their disdain.
Watching their backs disappear, DA opened his mouth, watching helplessly, clueless what to say: “It’s not like I did it on purpose! Plus, I was just telling you that you caught me! Why am I the one being called shameless?!”
He was muttering soft grievances when Li Qing Xue scurried over.
Seeing her trot up, DA shook his head with a helpless and amused expression: “Now you realize you should apologize? I… hic….”
Before he finished, Qing Xue hastily handed him her phone, then stepped on his foot sharply: “Don’t think I didn’t hear that. And it’s not like I did it on purpose.”
She spun around and ran off in a flurry.
DA couldn’t help but laugh at Qing Xue’s antics: “Hey, are you guys done? Still taking pictures?”
Hearing this, the three little ones quickened their pace.
They were honestly too scared—what if those hideous photos got out? How on earth would they face the world?
Seeing their hurried retreat, DA chuckled: “Looks like I went a bit too far this time.”
“The little minions no longer believe I’m the greatest,” he muttered.
He opened his phone, flipping to his album. Sure enough, the ugly photos of the three were still saved there—unsnipped, undeleted.
With a lazy mood, he trailed after the three, enjoying the afternoon—the whole world suddenly felt a lot brighter.
Together, they huddled, nonstop teasing DA behind his back.
Although reluctant, Hu Yu Ying found herself—alongside her friends—feeling unexpectedly fun just hanging out with DA and their little adventure.
“Actually, Bro’s really nice. Sometimes, he just acts like a mischievous little kid,” Hu explained, knowing him best because she’d been with DA the longest.
When serious, DA was mature and old-fashioned.
He’d taken her to another city to sell clothes, as well as pretend to be friends with a bunch of strangers with fake smiles and snake-like smiles—something most of her peers couldn’t pull off.
Whether doing street stall work or shouting like a demon, Hu believed no one else her age could match him.
But sometimes, when DA turned goofy—goodness, pain in the neck.
No one’s perfect, after all. And honestly, Hu didn’t see DA’s quirks as faults, just part of his charm.
“Yup, yup, yup! Bro’s the best! In your eyes, DA’s the best guy in the whole world,” Li Qing Xue teased.
Hu Yu Ying sneaked a glance at DA, who was still lurking nearby, her lips pressed into a small smile, mumbling softly: “That’s what I thought.”
Lin Wan Ning smiled too, “Big Brother’s really good.”
When she said that, Lin’s smile looked so beautiful, like an iceberg melting right before her eyes.
Seeing Lin Wan Ning so radiant, Li Qing Xue paused, slightly taken aback.
And then she smiled too—who’s to say otherwise?
That guy is really, really good.
“Hey, what are you all saying? I heard everything,” DA’s voice interrupted.
The three little ones simultaneously stopped and turned around, grinning: “Lying!”
The most beautiful thing in the world, perhaps, right here.
As the sunset gilded their faces, DA looked at their smiling faces and felt a brief moment of blissful fog.
He didn’t know when exactly he had merged into this world—to him, this wasn’t just a novel anymore; this was a lively world filled with genuine life.
The three in front of him… weren’t just “female leads” anymore—they were his little sisters.
And sometimes, she even made his heart flutter…
Seeing DA frozen in awe, the three giggled triumphantly, covering their mouths with pride.
They loved to see him stunned like that—the look of admiration in his eyes was their greatest reward.
Slowly, DA lifted his phone, capturing this perfect moment in time—a photo of youthful beauty and awkward ugliness, a stark contrast.
He gazed at the smile on his lips, reflected in the screen, and the photo froze forever, a snapshot of the best days.
Saved into his album, a vivid contrast of beauty and ugliness.
The three gathered once more by his side.
“Show us too, come on,” they pleaded eagerly.
They all loved this photo. Each begged DA to send it to them right away.
In that picture, only three figures remained—but only they knew that in reality, it wasn’t only three people.
Eventually, DA took them out for a meal.
“You’re so mean, DA! Just eating, why’d you have to bop my head?” Li Qing Xue complained.
“Ha-ha,” DA smirked, friendly but with a hint of mischief in his eyes.
“Revenge? This is blatant revenge!”
Hu Yu Ying gently patted Qing Xue’s head: “It’s okay, I’ll blow on it for you, then it won’t hurt anymore.”
Hearing that, Qing Xue cast a quick glance at DA—was she the one who hurt him?
She hurriedly shook her head—the last thing she wanted was to blow on his injury! Might cause trouble!
“Everyone, go inside first. This place’s food is pretty good,” DA said, waving them on.
After watching the three go in, DA turned and stepped into a nearby shop.
“Qing Xue, your face is so red! Don’t be mad at DA, okay? I’ll talk to him for you later,” Hu Yu Ying said softly, watching Qing Xue sitting quietly with her face flushed.
“It’s nothing, I just feel a little hot,” Qing Xue replied casually.
Hearing that, Lin Wan Ning hesitated for a moment—she’d used similar reasons before, too.
“Are you really just hot?” she asked with a teasing smile.
Qing Xue nodded quickly: “Mm-hm.”
Only fooling oneself who’s in a rush to agree so fast.
Lin Wan Ning was sure—she definitely wasn’t just hot; what else could it be?
