Tang Jingming felt he might have already caught a glimpse of the truth. He turned to look at their expressions and instantly felt he might have guessed most of it correctly.
Tang Jingming felt his image had grown a bit taller. He had never felt so clever before and said with a stiff neck, "Guess if I believe it or not!"
Ye Tiao glanced at his expression, "..."
Shi Lingyan silently curled his lips upward and picked up his chopsticks to grab some dim sum to eat.
Shi Mei looked at him, pondered for a moment, and finally decided to spare his poor intellect, sighing, "Let’s just eat."
Ye Tiao was somewhat disappointed and turned her face away.
Shi Lingyan lowered his head, smiling faintly as he ate the dim sum, feeling unusually happy.
As Tang Jingming observed them, he finally saw Shi Mei’s face full of helplessness, and thought, "???"
What happened? Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽
It seemed like he had missed something significant!
But no matter how Tang Jingming asked afterward, nobody brought it up again.
The only certainty was that Shi Mei and Shi Lingyan had gotten back together.
From Shi Lingyan’s ever-present smiling lips, Tang Jingming could tell that Shi Lingyan’s affection for Shi Mei had reached an unprecedented height and was terrifyingly close to surpassing Tang Wu.
Tang Jingming felt a bit irritated.
If he liked Shi Mei, he liked Shi Mei. But the fact that his affection for Shi Mei might surpass Tang Wu was something he couldn’t tolerate.
So, Tang Jingming, after having his fill, took Shi Lingyan to the restroom.
The two men stood side by side urinating when Tang Jingming couldn’t hold back any longer and said, "Brother Shi, brother-in-law, do you really like Shi Mei now?"
Shi Lingyan slightly raised his eyebrows and asked softly, "You still haven’t given up on her?"
Back when Shi Mei was still foolish, Tang Jingming had once thought about stealing her away.
Though that little spark had seemingly disappeared with Shi Mei’s "awakening," Shi Lingyan had always remembered it.
Upon hearing this, Tang Jingming immediately shook his head and said, "No, I never really cared much for her, but don’t you think you’re being a bit unfair now? Do you like Shi Mei more now, or do you still prefer Tang Wu?"
Shi Lingyan smiled, "Why do you ask that?"
"I see you treating her too well, and the tone and attitude you use when talking to her and when you’re close to her are like you’re facing my sister. I feel like you can’t do this."
Tang Jingming righteously declared, "Little cutie is little cutie, my sister is my sister. Even though little cutie has become normal now and her behavior is increasingly mature, somewhat resembling my sister, you still shouldn’t treat her as a substitute just because you miss my sister or because little cutie is becoming more like her. That would be unfair to Shi Mei."
Shi Lingyan laughed, "So that’s what this is about."
Tang Jingming felt a bit embarrassed by his laughter, worried he might think he was trying to steal her away, and quickly explained, "Don’t worry, I don’t have those kinds of thoughts about Shi Mei anymore, but I still don’t want you to play with her feelings or see her as a substitute, brother-in-law. You know what I mean, right?"
"Got it, little brother-in-law!"
Shi Lingyan had finished his business and walked to the sink to wash his hands.
Tang Jingming quickly added, "You better call me T Jing or add a prefix before calling me little brother-in-law. Otherwise, Shi Mei might get the wrong idea!"
