Xiang Wan pinched his flesh.
"Don't you know that sibling relationships are the most popular right now?"
"Young boys are obedient and gentle, with sweet mouths. Besides being poor, how are they worse than you old men?"
"We women just like to hear sweet talk, you look down on them? Why don't you bring something sophisticated to coax me?"
Lu Mingzhe gasped as he was pinched and loosened his grip a bit.
Xiang Wan seized the opportunity to slip out of his embrace.
They sat up one after the other, and Lu Mingzhe looked at her, who was shining white.
"Who isn't a fresh young meat? Don't forget, I'm younger than you too."
"If you want to hear sweet talk? You should have said so earlier! This is a basic survival skill for men, I have it too!"
"Can you speak sweet talk with your dog mouth?"
Xiang Wan tried to get up, but Lu Mingzhe pounced and pinned her down again.
"Sister, good sister, my fairy sister."
"Zhezhe's tummy is hungry and wants breakfast. Be good, and let's eat together, okay?"
He pinched his voice, speaking in a strange tone with a wretched expression. Xiang Wan couldn't help but chuckle at him.
"Isn't that disgusting? Get lost."
"No, I want to eat breakfast. I'm starving these past few days, and I didn't eat enough last night~"
"Are you sick, you..."
Everyone else had come back from their walk and were eating lunch, but Xiang Wan was nowhere to be seen.
Not knowing if they were setting off in the afternoon, they sent her brother to ask.
Her brother knocked on the door.
"Sis, are you up yet? It's lunchtime."
"Are we leaving this afternoon? You didn't reply in the group chat when everyone asked."
Xiang Wan had just come out of the bathroom, completely exhausted.
Lu Mingzhe carried her and placed her on the sofa as the door opened.
Seeing them both in bathrobes, with water still dripping from Lu Mingzhe's head.
Even if her brother was foolish, he could guess about eight or nine parts of what was happening.
"Um, are you guys hungry? We're ordering lunch at the restaurant."
"Sis, did you hear what I said?"
Lu Mingzhe patted him.
"We'll be down soon. Wait for us downstairs."
Her brother fled the room as if escaping.
Xiang Wan's old face turned crimson with embarrassment.
"Everyone will be teasing me endlessly later. It's all your fault, you've ruined the authority I finally built up."
Lu Mingzhe scoffed.
"As if none of them have boyfriends or girlfriends. They're all adults, who doesn't know who? It's perfectly normal."
"Try saying another word to me."
"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I'll shut up. Wan Jie, don't be angry."
Xiang Wan needed to change, but had no strength, so she instructed him.
"Go get me that blue camisole and white shorts from inside."
The camisole had a halter neck, exposing the back.
Lu Mingzhe tied the clothes around himself and walked out.
"Is this how you wear it?"
He was tall and sturdy, and trying on the women's camisole made him look incredibly awkward.
Xiang Wan couldn't help but tease him again.
"Are you interested in women's clothes?"
"Yes. I don't know how you manage the chest area when wearing these clothes. Show me a live demonstration."
"Actually, I've been curious about this for a long time."
"You're sick."
Xiang Wan glared at him.
"Go change your own clothes and don't look at me."
"Is there anything you haven't seen of me?"
Lu Mingzhe didn't leave; instead, he sat obligingly next to her.
"Come, come, you've worked hard. I'll help you, let me be an obedient little puppy."
Xiang Wan really had no energy to argue with him.
She struggled a few times, her arms aching from his grip, and completely gave up resisting.
After a series of actions, Lu Mingzhe had a sudden realization.
"So that's how it is. I have to say, the designer who invented this thing is quite miraculous."
"Women are so interesting. I'll help you with your clothes from now on."
Xiang Wan didn't believe his nonsense.
"Why the pretense of innocence? It's as if you've only been with me."
"I don't believe you haven't seen it on other women."
There were definitely not many others, but not a lot either.
Moreover, they hadn't lived together before, and in his youthful recklessness, Lu Mingzhe hadn't really paid attention to his girlfriends, so he didn't know these things.
Xiang Wan wouldn't believe him even if he explained, so he didn't bother.
He brought her makeup and watched her apply it.
"Aren't you going to change your clothes? Why are you staring at me?"
"Because you're beautiful. You have a natural beauty without makeup, and a makeup beauty with makeup. I've found that you're getting more and more beautiful."
Xiang Wan snorted coldly.
"That's because you were blind before. I've always been this beautiful."
"Nonsense. It's clearly because I've nurtured you."
"Lu Mingzhe, if you dare to talk nonsense like this when we go down later, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Seeing her weak state,
Lu Mingzhe kindly helped her downstairs.
In the eyes of others, the two seemed incredibly affectionate, as if they had to walk leaning on each other.
As soon as they appeared in the restaurant, everyone, as expected, started to feel envious.
"Ah, the handsome guy and beautiful girl are here! So well-matched!"
"Are these male or female stars from somewhere? They're so pleasing to the eye, and they belong to us!"
"Oh my. The male star chased after his girlfriend after a few days, I'm so envious!"
"Sister Wan looks great today. As expected, when your boyfriend is around, you're different."
Lu Mingzhe served her as she sat down.
He watched Xiang Wan pretend to be angry and reprimand everyone.
He sat down beside her, putting his arm around her shoulder.
"If you don't come over, you'll lose your girlfriend. Wouldn't I be worried?"
"You all know my relationship with her, yet some people are still boldly trying to snatch her away. Tell me, who? Who is so audacious?"
Everyone didn't understand what he meant.
Xiang Wan kicked him, telling him not to speak.
Lu Mingzhe acted as if he didn't feel it.
"I heard someone is desperately pursuing my girlfriend and trying to dig my corner. Don't you all know?"
Everyone suddenly understood.
"We know. But they aren't pursuing us, so what can we do?"
"Besides, Sis Wan isn't married to you yet, is she? They have the freedom to pursue her. You can't do anything about it, right?"
They were pushing Lu Mingzhe to marry Xiang Wan.
Xiang Wan should have stopped them.
But for some reason, she didn't say anything.
Lu Mingzhe, unfazed, accepted everyone's teasing.
"It seems I must marry Sister Wan home soon. A woman who is too beautiful is always coveted."
Hearing his words, did he have plans to get married?
Everyone clapped and toasted them, hoping they would get married soon.
Her brother, hearing Lu Mingzhe say that, also happily joined in.
He secretly asked Lu Mingzhe.
"Are you really planning to marry my sister? When?"
"My grandma calls every few days, urging my sister to death. Will it be before the end of the year?"
A young lady sitting nearby overheard him and pulled him aside.
"Why are you so silly? Proposals are meant to be kept secret. If you reveal it beforehand, there won't be any surprise."
"Don't ask. As long as he has plans in his heart, that's enough. Next, you'll just wait for the surprise with Sister Wan."
Xiang Wan heard everything and sneered inwardly.
If you like to show off in front of everyone so much, fine, Lu Mingzhe, let's see how you'll handle things later.
