Chapter 363: You’re Such a Bad Brother!
Dragon Brother gave Lin Wan Ning a light tap on her head, not pleased at all. “So, you didn’t hear a thing I just said, huh?”
“I heard it! But that Leaf Liang Chen is just too nasty!” Lin Wan Ning huffed, pouting like a toddler.
Realizing Lin Wan Ning was still mad about Qing Xue’s incident, Dragon Brother sighed and said, “Don’t worry, after last time, Leaf Liang Chen should know better.”
Just then, Lin Wan Ning, who had been sulking, suddenly burst into laughter. “Hehe!”
She might not have seen the epic scene firsthand, but just imagining it was enough to lift her spirits.
For some reason, she absolutely despised Leaf Liang Chen.
First, he bugged her sister and got rejected, and then he had the audacity to chase after Qing Xue. And now, he wanted to bug her too? She could really smash him a couple of times to show him who’s boss.
“Let’s go.”
Watching Lin Wan Ning pull his hand, Dragon Brother blinked. “Didn’t you just say you couldn’t?”
Lin Wan Ning shot him a glare, stood on tiptoes and poked his forehead gently. “Is hanging out with me all you can do?”
“Come on, let’s take a walk. I’ll treat you to some fruit tea.”
With that, she trotted ahead, stopping to look back at Dragon Brother, her eyes sparkling mischievously. “You’re such a bad brother!”
“I really didn’t mean to.”
“Alright, I believe you!” Lin Wan Ning squinted with a smile and nodded.
Dragon Brother really just wanted to remind Wan Ning about something.
But Wan Ning just wanted to tease her brother a bit.
…
“Achoo!”
Leaf Liang Chen suddenly sneezed twice in quick succession.
Rubbing his nose, he grinned confidently. “Who’s missing me? Twice in a row?”
He flipped his hair, pulled out his phone, took a deep breath, and said, “How long has it been since I left? Already missing me?”
“Hehehe, think again.” Xue Shao Hua’s reply came through almost immediately.
Seeing Xue Shao Hua’s speedy reply, Leaf Liang Chen’s grin widened.
He deserved applause for how he could make fun of someone who just seconds ago was replying to him instantaneously. Clearly, people—men or women—were all the same!
Gently rubbing his backside, he shook his head in frustration.
Soon, Xue Shao Hua sent a picture showing Hu Yu Ying and Li Qing Xue walking together on the playground.
“Didn’t expect to see Li Qing Xue looking so worn out. Honestly, it makes me feel a bit sorry for her. Once our plan to deal with Dragon Brother works, I’ll make sure Hu Yu Ying and the whole gang come to hang out with me!”
At the sight of that picture, Leaf Liang Chen tightened his grip on his phone.
Memories of being punched to the ground, alongside the humiliation of being sprayed by Dragon Brother, flooded back.
His mind conjured up the image of Dragon Brother spraying water at him again, and his earlier defiant expression gradually softened to something more sentimental, as he idly ran a hand over his lips.
A smile crept onto his face without him realizing.
Suddenly snapping back to reality, Leaf Liang Chen’s tender expression morphed back into one of resentment and humiliation!
Clenching his fists tightly, he declared, “Dragon Brother, you will pay dearly for everything you’ve done to me!”
His gaze skimmed over Xue Shao Hua’s message.
A bold idea popped into his head.
Once he had Dragon Brother under his thumb, he’d flaunt his relationship with Hu Yu Ying right in front of him.
If Dragon Brother didn’t want to see it, he’d just have to deal with it!
Nothing was more satisfying than a direct, emotional payback.
As for Li Qing Xue, Leaf Liang Chen took a deep breath. Despite knowing her for a decade, he always refrained from directly hurting her.
But if she refused to understand him and kept turning him down, well, he’d have to pull out some tricks.
“If you can’t see your own feelings, I don’t mind helping you figure them out.”
With this thought, Leaf Liang Chen smirked.
Since Dragon Brother could use brute force to make Li Qing Xue stick to him, why couldn’t he do the same to win her over?
With his skills, he could easily make Li Qing Xue unable to leave him.
But was it really that easy?
Absolutely not!
Once he used his “see you tomorrow” approach to force Li Qing Xue to fall under his spell, well, sorry, straight to the cold palace for you, buddy. It’s husband-chasing funeral time!
That’s me, the fearless and passionate Leaf Liang Chen!
…
Meanwhile, Xue Shao Hua’s gaze was fixated on Hu Yu Ying and Li Qing Xue.
Once their plan with Leaf Liang Chen succeeded, they’d tag Dragon Brother with a label he wouldn’t forget.
At that point, he could use it to blackmail them—either make sure Dragon Brother takes the fall, or they’d have to please him.
Thinking of this made Xue Shao Hua’s smile grow even wider, and he couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Hey, look at that guy! He’s been glaring at us. His smile is super creepy, and frankly, really sketchy!” Li Qing Xue nudged Hu Yu Ying.
Following Li Qing Xue’s gaze, Hu Yu Ying spotted Xue Shao Hua’s sinister stare directed at them.
She frowned slightly, her perfect brows furrowing.
“Have you noticed? Some of his moves are just like Leaf Liang Chen’s,” Li Qing Xue whispered. “I even saw him chasing after your car the other day!”
From Li Qing Xue’s hint, the way Xue Shao Hua tossed his hair, shot a glance, and blinked—all were indeed reminiscent of Leaf Liang Chen!
Noticing Hu Yu Ying’s gaze upon him, Xue Shao Hua froze for a second, then grinned widely, throwing his arms open as if to embrace the sky.
If there was any lingering doubt before, seeing Xue Shao Hua’s flamboyant display made Hu Yu Ying sure that he and Leaf Liang Chen not only knew each other, but were definitely on good terms!
Just the other day, Li Qing Xue had been forcibly dragged away by Leaf Liang Chen, and now, only a day later, Xue Shao Hua was lurking around!
All these coincidences piled together made Li Qing Xue start feeling uneasy.
When Hu Yu Ying and Lin Wan Ning stayed up late to watch some videos, they had learned a term: “Stalker.”
Leaf Liang Chen’s unpredictable behavior, coupled with Xue Shao Hua’s current creepy smile, were starting to feel alarmingly similar to the creepy folks in those videos…
Feeling Li Qing Xue gripping her hand tightly, Hu Yu Ying comforted her softly, “It’s alright, Dragon Brother will protect us.”
Hu Yu Ying couldn’t wrap her mind around how she and Li Qing Xue had attracted the attention of Leaf Liang Chen and Xue Shao Hua, who insisted on bothering them.
Seeing Xue Shao Hua walking towards them, Hu Yu Ying hurriedly pulled Li Qing Xue away from the playground.
Watching them rush away, Xue Shao Hua’s smile widened even further; he wasn’t about to let go of what he was interested in!
As Hu Yu Ying and Li Qing Xue were about to dash out of the playground, they exchanged a subtle glance, only for Hu Yu Ying to catch sight of Xue Shao Hua standing there, his gaze fixed on them, his grin a bit too unsettling, prompting her to quicken her pace even more…
