Jiang Jingze didn’t know how long he had waited.
From the afternoon till the evening.
From when the sun was high in the sky to when it set in the west.
He had been waiting until he saw Yan Sinian walking out with Yue Qingqing.
Seeing the man slightly older than him holding Qingqing’s hand, talking about something, Jiang Jingze’s eyes almost turned red.
Strangely, the two who were staring at each other had the same thought again.
To Yan Sinian, it seemed he had merely missed a moment to find Yue Qingqing, and that kid had taken the opportunity, even daring to try and lure his junior sister with food.
It was even more so in the eyes of Jiang Jingze, who had gotten Qingqing into a routine over the years, almost feeding her at fixed times.
But just when he was careless for a moment, how could his beloved person eat the food made by someone else?
Jiang Jingze was most familiar with Yue Qingqing’s appearance after she was full, her beautiful eyes curving into a smile, like a little cat that had eaten its fill.
Exposing a lazy posture without any defense.
Making all cat slaves unable to help but lie down, thinking of ways to take this opportunity to gently touch their master’s belly.
As they drew closer, Yue Qingqing also noticed Jiang Jingze’s figure and immediately ran over in surprise.
"Brother Jiang, what are you doing here?" she scratched her head, considering a possibility, "Are you sick?"
So he was near the hospital?
Yes, he was sick, lovesick.
Jiang Jingze’s bad mood vanished after seeing Yue Qingqing’s actions.
Yan Sinian twisted his fingertips, feeling dissatisfied.
This blame naturally fell on Jiang Jingze again.
Pretty boy, don’t think about seducing his junior sister with your good looks!
Jiang Jingze, however, hooked up the corners of his lips quite naturally and stroked Yue Qingqing’s hair.
"I came to find you at your house, knew you weren’t there, and just happened to run into you here."
Jiang Jingze lowered his eyes, looking somewhat sad.
He was unlike the boys in his class who clearly liked the girl next door, purposely waiting every day at the intersection she must pass.
Constantly bending to untie and tie their shoelaces, only waiting to greet her as if nothing was amiss.
Feelings, after all, should be known by the one you care about, shouldn’t they?
Yue Qingqing looked at his expression and inexplicably felt guilty.
"Ah... what did you want me for?"
Jiang Jingze sighed, "I finally learned a few new dishes, but couldn’t find anyone to taste them."
Hearing those words, Yue Qingqing instinctively began to swallow her saliva.
"Really? Then next time..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was shielded behind by Senior Brother Yan who walked over.
Yan Sinian felt a surge of anger.
He could tell that the kid had completely gotten Qingqing into the habit over the years; she couldn’t help herself upon hearing that he had cooked.
This scene inexplicably reminded Yan Sinian of Pavlov’s classical conditioning experiment.
Jiang Jingze frowned and stared at Yan Sinian, "Who are you?"
The two men stood opposite each other, one proud like a pine, the other tall like a cypress.
Similarly aged, their eyes were full of scrutiny.
"Before asking someone else’s name, at least introduce yourself first," Yan Sinian blocked Jiang Jingze’s view towards his junior sister, his attitude very cold.
Jiang Jingze took a deep breath, feeling an impulse to physically fight for her.
It was just a little bit, and the scenario Yue Jiandong imagined would have happened.
Thankfully, Jiang Jingze’s reason restrained his impulse, not wanting to show his other side in front of Qingqing.
"My name is Jiang Jingze, and you?"
The moment he heard this name, Yan Sinian’s pupils suddenly contracted.
Then he stared fixedly at Jiang Jingze’s cheek, as if wanting to confirm something.
