Reborn With An Old Enemy On The Day Of Our Marriage Chapter 61 - Brothers Aren't Allowed

Chapter 61 - Brothers Aren’t Allowed

In the end, Zheng PingQing successfully managed to protect Lin Qian’s bowl, foiling Shao SiJia’s operation: force-feed Lin Qian chicken b.u.t.t. However, Zheng PingQing also paid the price for it- when he rushed to rescue Lin Qian’s bowl, he accidentally knocked over some soy sauce, tragically staining his couple’s shirt.

Lin Qian glared at Shao SiJia: “This is your fault!”

Shao SiJia touched her chin, full of doubt. “My fault?” She felt that Zheng PingQing’s were much more suspicious.

Is giving Lin Qian a chicken b.u.t.t worth such excitement?

Lin Qian helped Zheng PingQing up. “I’ll give you some clothes to change into.”

Shao SiJia watched the two go into Lin Qian’s room together and finally realized that they’ve been wearing matching clothes all this time.

Shao SiJia was still cautious when it comes to some things. Instead of being direct, she took a more sensitive approach and asked the two parents nearby: “Why are they wearing the same clothes?”

Lin YaZhi that such things were only a matter of course. He replied: “They’re good friends, ah. Being so close, isn’t it normal to want to wear the same clothes?”

Shao SiJia: Not normal at all!!

Lin Qian and Xu Yao had been friends for over a decade, and they have never once worn the same clothes!

Wearing matching clothes as your good brother, who would do such an embarra.s.sing thing, ah!

Chen ShiYi, who still had some lingering trauma, added: “They really do get along. Ever since he was a child, PingQing had been the type to shamelessly show off one’s good looks. The most hateful thing for him was to encounter someone wearing the same clothes as him. But apparently, he and Lin Qian bought a bunch of matching clothes together. To tell you the truth, I was a bit taken aback when I found out.”

Shao SiJia:…I don’t feel rea.s.sured.

Shao SiJia was closer to Lin Qian’s generation than Lin YaZhi, and she received more information than her father. With the help of Weibo, Twitter, and all sorts of social media, her knowledge and worldview were greatly expanded compared to the two parents.

The gay community wasn’t a distant concept for her.

While a sudden lightbulb turned on in Shao SiJia’s heart, her face remained composed. So when she saw that Zheng PingQing had come back wearing a set of Lin Qian’s home clothes, Shao SiJia simply laughed. “Straightforwardly taking all your clothes off, are you cosplaying as a Haier brother?”

Lin Qian struck back: “Cosplaying as a washing machine? What are you on about? I’m just planning on washing Zheng PingQing’s clothes later, ah.”

Shao SiJia placed a hand on her cheek and said out loud: “I think I’m hallucinating? Why do I think you treat him better than you treat me?”

Lin Qian looked at her in the eye and said: “You’re not hallucinating, it’s the truth.”

The brother and sister pair locked eyes for a few seconds, then Shao SiJia pointed a finger towards him. “I hereby declare that you just lost your sister’s love.”

Lin YaZhi had only lived with the siblings for a short period, so he still didn’t understand the teasing they did to each other. Confused, he nervously said: “Hey, hey. SiJia, Ah Qian was just making a joke. Don’t be angry at him, you’re brother and sister, ah….”

Shao SiJia interrupted him coldly. “Do you want to lose my love too?”

Lin YaZhi immediately shut his mouth.

Lin Qian: “….” A father’s love is indeed weak and frail.

After a chaotic lunch, Lin YaZhi and Chen ShiYi took the initiative to clean up the table while the three children collapsed on the living room sofa.

Lin Qian said: “Sitting down after eating so much food isn’t good for digestion. We should go for a walk.”

Zheng PingQing made a sound of agreement.

Meanwhile, Shao SiJia kicked Lin Qian on the leg. “Then you two hurry up and get out. You’re taking up all the s.p.a.ce on the sofa, and I want to lie down, ah.”

Lin Qian remained motionless as he derided her: “Shao SiJia, you’ll grow a belly if you continue to act like this.”

But Shao SiJia remained fearless as she replied: “No way, young and beautiful girls don’t get big bellies!”

Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing were speechless.

The trio remained paralyzed for a while, then a drowsy Shao SiJia kicked Lin Qian again. “I’m a little thirsty, go make a pot of tea to help us digest, ah.”

Lin Qian ignored her. “Whoever wants to drink it should be the one to make it.”

Shao SiJia remained motionless. “No, I’m lazy.”

Lin Qian blinked. “….how can you speak so righteously?”

Shao SiJia used up a good portion of her precious energy to roll her eyes. “It’s just laziness. It’s not like I’m talking about breaking the law.”

Seeing that Lin Qian still wasn’t getting up, Shao SiJia decided to hit Zheng PingQing instead. Making her voice sound especially affectionate, she said: “Little brother Zheng, didn’t you want to go take a walk too?”

Zheng PingQing had already lost his enthusiasm to campaign for support. He lazily replied: “Nope. People who force Lin Qian to eat chicken b.u.t.ts can only pour their own tea.”

Shao SiJia: “…..” Holding such a long grudge, as expected of this gay guy!

Shao SiJia began thinking about whether she should command Lin YaZhi to pour her some tea…

Then Lin Qian commented: “Ah, I am a little thirsty.”

Zheng PingQing jumped up and said: “I’ll get you some tea.”

Shao SiJia: “……” Not only is he a gay guy, but it also seems that he’s a tamed gay guy!

After a while, Zheng PingQing came back with two steaming cups of tea.

Shao SiJia’s heart was satisfied. She moved nothing but her hand and reached out for the tea. “Little brother Zheng, give me the cup.”

Zheng PingQing placed her cup on the farthest corner of the coffee table. “Here you go.”

Shao SiJia: “……” This guy is probably 90% gay content!

Meanwhile, Zheng PingQing personally handed Lin Qian his cup of tea. Lin Qian placed the cup on top of his chest and sighed like a health-conscious elderly man. “A cup of tea after a meal, how satisfying.”

Shao SiJia placed her leg on top of the coffee table and tried to hook her cup closer with her toes.

Lin Qian wrinkled his nose. “….ah, lazybones, why don’t you just go die.”

Shao SiJia pouted. “Why don’t you let me take a sip from your cup, just one sip.”

Lin Qian quickly grabbed the mug and licked its entire rim. “No problem. If you want to take a sip, then go ahead.”

Shao SiJia: “….” f.u.c.k, where did her little brother learn such lowly tricks!

As the siblings continued their battle of wits, the doorbell rang again. Lin YaZhi shouted from the kitchen: “Can someone open the door?”

Lin Qian and Shao SiJia both turned towards the still standing Zheng PingQing.

Zheng PingQing: “….” In the end, who’s the actual master of this house?

Zheng PingQing helplessly walked towards the door. This time, when he opened the front door, he saw a familiar face.

Xu Yao: “…..”

Zheng PingQing smiled. “h.e.l.lo, older brother!”

Xu Yao quietly took a step back, confirmed the address, then looked back towards Zheng PingQing. When he did so, he noticed the clothes Zheng PingQing was wearing.

It was Lin Qian’s clothes…

Or, more specifically, his home clothes…

Xu Yao felt like his stomach couldn’t endure this picture in front of him.

Xu Yao pointed a quivering finger at Zheng PingQing and, with a trembling voice, said: “You…you…”

Zheng PingQing tilted his head at this person, who suddenly started stuttering for no reason. He asked: “What’s wrong with me?”

An extremely bitter Xu Yao took a step forward and grabbed Zheng PingQing by the collar. With a lowered voice, he snarled: “Didn’t you say that you weren’t going to do anything obscene until you two were adults!!!!”

Zheng PingQing: ?????

The venerable Xu Yao was in tears. “You…didn’t you tell me that you two only have s.e.x during nighttime?!”

Zheng PingQing: ??????????

With a broken heart, Xu Yao continued: “And you, you…can’t you do it in your house?” Lin Qian’s house has an adult living there!

Zheng PingQing quietly pushed Xu Yao’s accusing finger away from his face and said: “Why are you like this? Always thinking such dirty thoughts.”

Xu Yao: !!!!! Why is he the one getting shot at!

Lin Qian noticed that Zheng PingQing had been gone for quite some time now. He shouted: “Who is it?”

Xu Yao heard Lin Qian’s weak voice and was even more indignant. He tearfully complained to Zheng PingQing: “Can’t you f.u.c.king control yourself?”

Zheng PingQing was speechless. He decided to ignore this person and turned to reply to Lin Qian: “It’s Xu Yao.”

Then, Shao SiJia shouted out: “Ah, Ah Yao! Come in!”

Xu Yao froze. “Shao SiJia’s back?”

Zheng PingQing crossed his arms and arrogantly raised a brow. “Yes. After saying all those things, are you still coming in or not?”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Xu Yao hurried inside and saw a very familiar scene in the living room- the brother and sister acting like corpses after a meal.

Xu Yao was very confused. “What’s going on?”

With her foot, Shao SiJia pointed to a distant cup sitting on one end of the coffee table. She said: “Ah Yao, you arrived at the perfect time. Can you please hand me that cup?”

Zheng PingQing: “…..” In the end, Shao SiJia really couldn’t be bothered to get the cup?

Xu Yao went over and gave Shao SiJia her tea. After being separated for half a century, Shao SiJia was finally reunited with her beloved tea. Taking a sip, Shao SiJia immediately let out a satisfied sigh. “The brother next door is better than my actual brother, ah.”

Lin YaZhi stuck his head out of the kitchen and smiled. “Oh, Xu Yao, you’re here.”

Xu Yao nodded and raised the large paper bag he was holding. “Some relatives sent us a lot of dried seafood yesterday. My mom asked me to bring you some.”

Lin YaZhi’s eyes turned into crescents. “That’s very kind of you. Why don’t you sit down, I’ll cut up some fruit for you.”

Xu Yao nodded and was about to sit on the sofa next to Lin Qian when he heard Zheng PingQing let out a loud cough.

Xu Yao: “…..” He silently sat on the other couch instead.

Zheng PingQing patted him on the shoulder. “Don’t look at strange things on the internet anymore.”

Xu Yao remembered his brain fart just moments ago, and with a red face, angrily retorted: “I don’t do such things!”

Zheng PingQing indifferently rolled his eyes, then sat next to Lin Qian.

Xu Yao, who had gone from a bitter and aggrieved state into a muddled and ignorant state, was restless as he looked at the couple. He glanced towards the kitchen, then asked: “That…what’s going on?”

Did, did Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing come out to their families already? Have their families agreed? Otherwise, this harmonious scene in front of him wouldn’t be possible, right?

Although Xu Yao’s face still had a puzzled expression on it, his heart was surging. Is it possible that Ah Qian’s family actually had a progressive and open worldview?

Shao SiJian was surprised. “Eh? You didn’t know?”

Xu Yao: “…No, I don’t know.” He didn’t know if he was supposed to know.

Lin Qian and Shao SiJia went quiet. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to tell Xu Yao, but the situation would take a lot of time to explain, and they were much too lazy for that. Talking was too much effort, ah.

At the same time, Lin YaZhi came out with a plate of cut fruit. With a smile, he said: “Xu Yao doesn’t know? Ah Qian and Little Zheng are step-brothers.”

Xu Yao: ????? Step-brothers? That’s not right. Father Lin, aren’t you misunderstanding what the word ‘brother’ means?

Contrary to what one might expect, Lin YaZhi didn’t get discouraged and patiently explained things to Xu Yao. After solemnly reintroducing Zheng PingQing to Xu Yao, he smiled and proudly said: “In school, everyone says they’re great brothers. Unexpectedly, they really are brothers! Don’t you think it’s delightful?”

Xu Yao was floored. “Brothers?! Not allowed!”

Everyone else: “……”

The author has something to say:

Xu Yao: How come it’s my turn again? Too fast, ah. Smoking.jpg

It seems that torturing Ah Yao is my favorite pastime…
