Chapter 91: Dragon Brother Becomes a Housewife
A week—that’s both a long and a short time, depending on who you ask.
But in the end, it all led to this day.
“Tomorrow, we’re starting a fresh new chapter. Yu Ying’s finally going to prove herself. Nervous?”
Dragon Brother’s heart was pounding wildly with excitement and nerves.
“Just a little,” Hu Yu Ying answered sweetly, obediently.
“Just a little is right. Just treat this exam like any other test—only the venue has changed.” Dragon Brother told her, though inside he was clenched in tight fists, nervous as heck.
Back in his old world, he dropped out early, never faced a college entrance exam, jumped straight into society, and experienced life in all its flavors.
Now, standing before him was a brand new path—a totally different road from the last. It was like filling that old regret with something new and shiny.
Hu Yu Ying’s eyes bent into a cute little crescent, watching her big brother look so nervous but trying to comfort her. A warm feeling bubbled in her heart. She was kinda happy too.
“Bro, don’t be nervous. No pressure, okay? Just read the questions carefully. I believe you’ve got this.” Hu Yu Ying cheered him on, full of encouragement.
“Don’t cook at home tomorrow morning. Wake up early, buy some breakfast on the way. Go to Zhao’s breakfast joint—clean, hygienic, and delicious. Oh! And—”
At that moment, Dragon Brother was like a housewife, nagging endlessly about things to Hu Yu Ying’s ears.
Since their exams weren’t in the same location, each person would head out separately tomorrow.
Despite the nagging, Hu Yu Ying didn’t get frustrated—instead, she listened very seriously.
Finally, she even thoughtfully handed him a cup of water. “Brother, have some water.”
Dragon Brother took a sip, soothing his throat. Much better.
Suddenly, he turned his head and glanced at Wang Shuo.
Maybe it was the powerful emotions flickering in Dragon Brother’s eyes, but Wang Shuo felt a chill run down his spine. He turned his head and caught Dragon Brother’s gaze.
He thought for a moment, and Dragon Brother approached him, looking down from above. “Come with me.”
Wang Shuo scratched his head, thinking he’d been pretty good lately—probably hadn’t offended Dragon Brother, right?
“Hurry up!”
Wang Shuo startled slightly. “Got it, got it.”
Outside the classroom, Dragon Brother’s brow was furrowed as he peered down at Wang Shuo. “You little…”
In no time, both of them entered the classroom one after the other.
Dragon Brother headed straight to his seat.
Wang Shuo, meanwhile, pulled something out of his pocket and started showing off—it was obvious he was trying to impress.
A few students nearby stared at the item in his hand, eyes wide, smiling with envy.
“Brother, what did you just do?” As Dragon Brother’s little follower, she shouldn’t ask, but she’s just too curious.
“Nothing much. Just sleep well tonight, stay refreshed, and get ready for the big exam tomorrow.”
“Mm-hm, I will. And you too, Bro.”
That night, the Old Man headed home early, prepared dinner and waited impatiently for his son.
Seeing him change over the past half-year, the Old Man felt warm inside.
He might not be poetic, but his love for Dragon Brother was just as strong as any parent’s.
And during this night—
Hu Yu Ying also dialed a video call to her grandparents back home.
Though they were uneducated, they knew how important the college entrance exam was. They sent their heartfelt blessings and love.
That night was anything but ordinary.
The rising sun split the darkness, casting pure light into the world, bringing the warmest warmth to everyone.
Each person held their own admission ticket and exam room.
Dragon Brother rode his bike fiercely toward his testing center.
Hu Yu Ying also got up early, bought breakfast from Zhao’s, then hopped onto a bus.
She had visited the school beforehand—nice and familiar. After parking her bike and locking it, she suddenly heard a shout of joy: “Dragon Brother!”
“Which classroom are you in?” Dragon Brother looked at Li Qing Xue. His heart fluttered—seeing someone familiar at the same exam venue was pretty comforting.
“Let me see your admission ticket,” Li Qing Xue said.
After checking his ticket, she gave a sly smile. “I’m in the next classroom over.”
“Oh man, it’s just bad luck. If only you were right next to me,” she sighed.
Li Qing Xue snorted. “Don’t even think about peeking at my test paper.”
“Otherwise, both of us would be doomed!”
Seeing her worry, Dragon Brother wasn’t going to tease her anymore. He headed toward the unfamiliar school first.
At the classroom door, he paused and turned back to Li Qing Xue. “Good luck.”
He gave her a thumbs-up, and she responded with a bright grin.
As he turned to enter his class, Li Qing Xue’s eyes flickered. “Dragon Brother, when you go to Kyoto, I’ll treat you to dinner.”
He didn’t look back, just waved and walked in.
Watching his departure, Li Qing Xue chuckled softly. “Trying to act cool, huh?”
Looking at the exam papers, Dragon Brother took a deep breath, his grip on the pen tightening.
“Another life I aspire to… it’s tempting as heck!”
And this chapter wasn’t over—click “next” to read more exciting scenes!
After saying that, he immersed himself in reading the questions.
Not only Hu Yu Ying needed to deliver a satisfying answer sheet, but he did too!
The morning exam went smoothly, making Dragon Brother very satisfied.
At least, that subject was secured.
He handed in his paper, finished the exam, and prepared for the afternoon test.
“Dragon Brother.”
Looking up, he saw Li Qing Xue at the classroom door, waving happily. “How did it go?”
“Nothing could go wrong,” he replied. Until the grades come back, it had to be perfect!
“Are you heading home for lunch, or eating out?”
“Just grab a quick bite outside. Want to join?” Dragon Brother asked.
“Sure! What’s your favorite main dish?”
“I’m easy—I don’t picky.”
……
Hu Yu Ying sat quietly on the unfamiliar sports field, with pickled vegetables and steamed buns beside her.
Without Dragon Brother around, she was used to just making do—habit, inconvenience, or thriftiness. Plus, she’s a bit of a penny-pincher, so no matter what, she could fill her belly.
“Ah, you really made me search high and low for you.”
Hearing the voice, Hu Yu Ying looked up puzzled.
It was Wang Shuo, jogging toward her from the direction she was looking.
Having been bullied by him before, she instinctively wanted to distance herself and hurriedly packed up her things.
“Here, this is for you.”
Before she could even finish packing, Wang Shuo had already placed a boxed meal and side dishes in front of her.
“Wha, what’s this?” Hu Yu Ying moved back, keeping her distance.
Seeing her still holding her pickled vegetables, Wang Shuo’s expression was strange. “Looks like Dragon Brother’s words were true.”
Hearing that, Hu Yu Ying looked up at Wang Shuo in confusion.
“He said, without him watching over you, you’d probably just settle for whatever. This is my mission to buy it for you.”
Staring at the boxed meal, Hu Yu Ying’s lips curled up slightly, but she forced a smile, holding back her amusement. “How much does it cost?”
“Dragon Brother already paid,” Wang Shuo said happily. He was actually pretty proud—because Dragon Brother not only paid for their meals but also bought him two packs of cigarettes…
