Chapter 666 -96 Sharing Weal and Woe
Chen Lingyun and Yan Jing came back from the army canteen, their arms full of snacks.
New novel chapt𝒆rs are published on ƒгeewebnovёl.com.
Previously, at the Sisters’ Snack Club, the small cakes eaten were bought by Su Yunjin, and other consumed snacks depleted the personal reserves of Zhao Yuanzhen and Xie Ruoxi, so the two later decided to go buy an equal amount of snacks to replenish their stocks.
Holding the snacks, Chen Lingyun walked into the house, only to find Yan Yu sitting on the couch, deep in contemplation.
Yan Jing, feeling a bit of a bathroom emergency, set down the snacks and dashed to the washroom, but found it locked from the inside with the sound of a shower running.
“If you need the toilet, go upstairs. Your sister Zhao is showering in there,” Yan Yu said.
Without a word, Yan Jing immediately dashed to the second floor.
“Taking a shower?” Chen Lingyun broke into a knowing smile. “That intense of a game?”
“Shut up,” said Yan Yu seriously. “Tell me honestly, was it you who helped my sister with her plan?”
“If I said no,” Chen Lingyun asked languidly, “would you believe me?”
“No,” answered Yan Yu.
“Then it was me,” Chen Lingyun smiled again, proudly declaring, “Your sister is just a pawn of mine. Tell her, ‘This will help your brother,’ and she does it, no questions asked, so adorable~”
“Cut the crap,” although Yan Yu wasn’t aware of the entire truth, he knew this wretched woman well enough and said disdainfully, “Don’t offer that as her excuse. You both definitely had a hand in it!”
“Knowing that already, why ask?” Chen Lingyun feigned confusion. “What, did you not seize the precious opportunity and fail at the last minute? Or have you been maintaining yourself so diligently that you had a sudden breakdown when it counted?”
“I just realized we were missing a person,” Yan Yu said icily, clenching his fists. “Using teammates as pawns, manipulating and controlling them, yet standing aside yourself, doesn’t seem quite right, does it? Shouldn’t you be sharing the highs and lows together?”
“Mmm, I certainly don’t mind,” Chen Lingyun’s smile grew sweeter, her gaze provocatively sweeping below him. “I’m just worried that someone might not be up for it.”
Yan Yu: ……
Damn it, my fists are clenched!
My ex-girlfriend in this life is still innocent, even though I want to preserve my Primordial Yang, I only need one hand to deal with her! She must have forgotten the battle in her bedroom. She was utterly defeated before me! If it weren’t for Zhou Hongyu facing danger outside, she would have been close to screaming “daddy”!
Hmm, could it be…
Could she actually want to finish that last battle but is too shy to tell me directly because I would most certainly seize the opportunity to ridicule her—so instead, she painstakingly involves my sister in her scheme, using this challenge as a provocation?
Yan Yu had become accustomed to always thinking several steps ahead when dealing with Chen Lingyun, so after only a moment’s thought, he quickly uncovered her true intentions and said with a cold laugh:
“Let’s go! Back to my room with you!”
Chen Lingyun let him take her hand with a cheery smile:
“I hope you haven’t spent too much energy on them, otherwise I’d be very disappointed~”
Yan Yu just sneered. Old man, second life as a human, I know more techniques than you’ve ever learned, lose to you, an inexperienced rookie?
My Battle Soul has been thoroughly ignited! I’m about to crush you into a pulp!
After a short while, Yan Jing emerged from the upstairs bathroom, still muttering about how to get her older brother’s forgiveness.
Although Lingyun promised to take the blame, she knew well the temperament of her brother—this machismo-infused man hated being kept in the dark about schemes, even if the outcome turned greatly to his advantage. He would use the excuse of “you can’t deceive me” to exact a fierce revenge…
Sigh, forget it, I might as well kneel and beg, tears and all.
Kneeling to my older brother is no big deal; after all, he took care of me for so many years as a child. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be so devoted to his happiness, even getting directly involved on behalf of Lingyun.
Thinking this to herself, Yan Jing walked down the stairs and noticed the living room was empty.
Huh?
Zhao Yuanzhen had finished her shower and was leaving the bathroom, asking in surprise:
“Where’s Yan Yu?”
“I have no idea,” Yan Jing poked her head down from the staircase railing, “Sister Zhao, haven’t you seen big brother? He was just in the living room.”
“Hmph, maybe he went off to take care of it by himself.” The Demonic Sect Enchantress was momentarily stunned, then quickly revealed a smirk of disdainful amusement, “So weak, so weak, so weak! I haven’t even gotten started, and he’s already done for!”
Yan Jing looked enviously at Sister Zhao and silently made a wish in her heart. Then she asked curiously:
“Sister Zhao, did something happen between you and big brother?”
“What happened?” Zhao Yuanzhen was taken aback at first but quickly caught on and waved her hand, “Not yet, I just gave him some ice cream earlier.”
“Ice cream?” Yan Jing was suddenly shocked. What kind of secret code or metaphor was that?
She was too embarrassed to ask Zhao Yuanzhen directly, so she just quietly took note of it in her head, planning to send a private message later when she had the time, and ask those well-informed classmates of hers what this “ice cream” was supposed to mean.
————————————
Meanwhile, Yan Yu and Chen Lingyun were holed up in the bedroom, competing to see who could eat more ice cream. Despite Chen Lingyun giving it her all, girls generally have a smaller appetite, and as her defeat became more evident, she was about to be thoroughly bested by Yan Yu, when suddenly Lin Ning’s voice rose from downstairs:
“Dinner’s ready!”
Chen Lingyun seized the opportunity to surrender, using “I need to go down for dinner” as an excuse to halt her losing streak and desperately catch a breath.
Yan Yu thought to himself that there would be other days, so he let this pitiful woman off for now. The two of them packed up and left the bedroom, heading towards the stairs.
Yan Jing found an opportunity and decisively caught Yan Yu descending from the second floor, sincerely apologizing. Although it was indeed Chen Lingyun who had egged her on, she had just been roughly messed up by big brother, and in her gratefulness to him, impulsively agreed to cooperate with Chen Lingyun, to contribute to her older brother’s future happiness.
She had also reflected seriously afterward and felt that even though she had ultimately carried it out well, her intentions were still harmful. She shouldn’t have gone ahead with the plan without her older brother’s consent, so she hoped he could forgive her mistake.
Yan Yu wasn’t the type to hold a grudge, especially not against his own sister, so he reassured her by saying, “Big brother forgives you,” and then during dinner, from some app’s Cloud Space on his phone, he brought up a document he had prepared for a long time, and said affectionately to everyone:
“My little sister Jingjing has been talented since she was young. In the third grade, when the teacher assigned a composition with the topic ‘My Family,’ she chose to write about ‘My Big Brother.'”
“And now I will read to you with great sentiment, this peerless masterpiece selected by her teacher as an outstanding essay from her year…”
“AAAAAAH!” Yan Jing immediately threw down her utensils and lunged to take big brother down with her.
The girls hastily intervened to stop her, and after a chaotic struggle, they finally managed to snatch the captain’s phone away.
“It’s okay!” Yan Yu, held back by Lin Ning and Zhao Yuanzhen, called out calmly, “I’ve already memorized it! ‘My big brother is the most respectable person in my life, his tall silhouette always makes me look up to him…'”
“Shut his mouth, shut his mouth!” Yan Jing jumped up in frustration.
Zhao Yuanzhen quickly embraced Yan Yu tightly, effectively silencing him, but Ningning immediately objected beside them and hurried over to rescue the captain.
“It’s okay if you don’t let me read it,” Yan Yu, who had regained his breath, waved it off indifferently and laughed magnanimously, “Those who want to see it can message me privately later, and I’ll send it to you.”
Now Yan Jing was at a loss and could only pout her lips and her nose twitched as she started to feign weeping.
Su Yunjin immediately stepped forward to comfort her sister, assuring her that she would definitely not ask the captain for the essay, and then turned to signal to the other girls with her eyes.
So, everyone quickly echoed in agreement, to cheer Yan Jing up, declaring their lack of interest in the essay and that nobody would secretly ask the captain for Jingjing’s dark history! Anyone who would betray the group would be a dog!
Yan Yu seemed to be isolated by everyone but only sneered indifferently, casually picking up a piece of fish to eat.
Sure enough, within a few seconds, Chen Lingyun sent a voice message:
“Send it to me later to have a look.”
“Damn, you were just collaborating with my sister, and now you go digging up her dark past!” Yan Yu immediately retorted with a message, “Aren’t you afraid she’ll find out?”
“You won’t tell her,” Chen Lingyun said with a mischievous smile.
Yan Yu hadn’t quite responded when Xie Ruoxi’s message came in:
“Well, captain, actually I’m a bit curious too because it’s a composition written by little sister, and it’s somewhat related to the captain… I want to know how little sister viewed the captain when she was young.”
“Weren’t you just forming alliances with everyone?” Yan Yu feigned surprise and exclaimed, “Whoever asks me for that essay is a dog, right?”
“Bark bark,” Xie Ruoxi replied.
