"Ah, what about this one? Do you like guys who wear glasses?"
"..."
Rong Xingyu: "..."
He looked at his very serious second brother, then looked at his eldest brother and fourth brother who both seemed to think nothing was wrong.
Why did the world suddenly become so strange???
Rong Xingyu swallowed his saliva hard.
"I—"
He had only said one word when Rong Zhenqiao beside him cleared his throat and said, "I also have a few business partners I’ve worked with for many years. Their families have many excellent young people too."
Rong Xingyu: "???"
Rong Zhenqiao suggested, "Maybe I can introduce them to you as well?"
"..."
Why did this feel so much like parents forcing their child to go on blind dates?
And they kept repeating things like: "Just get to know them first. It’s always good for you to make more friends your age."
"But, I—"
"In our racing team, we also have—"
Rong Zishan raised his hand. He was just about to speak when Rong Zhenqiao cut him off.
Rong Zhenqiao frowned and repeated, "Your racing team?"
On the other side, Rong Zhenghao couldn’t help saying, "Forget it. In your broken racing team, is there even anyone reliable?"
Rong Zishan: "..."
He instantly became unhappy.
He shouted, "What’s wrong with our racing team! You look down on people who race? What if Xiaoyu likes racers? It’s super cool!"
Then he turned to Rong Xingyu and asked, "Xiaoyu, do you like racing guys? They’re really handsome!"
Rong Xingyu: "No, I don’t like them. Thank you."
Rong Zishan: ...
"What are you all doing?" Rong Xingyu said in a small voice. "I can make friends on my own..."
Why were his brothers suddenly worried about his social circle?
Then Rong Xingyu remembered the talk he had with his second brother in the hotel.
His expression became complicated.
Did they still think he was having an early romance?
But looking at the situation now... why did it feel like they were encouraging him to have an early romance instead?
Rong Xingyu asked honestly, "Are you all encouraging me to start dating early?"
"..."
Rong Zhenqiao and the others all fell silent at the same time.
When they thought about their little brother possibly being taken away by some random brat outside and even worse, that this person might be someone they introduced...
Rong Zhenghao quickly gathered all the photos on the desk.
Then he looked at the people in the photos again.
This one’s face was too big... no.
That one’s eyes were too small... tsk, also no.
...Suddenly, none of them looked pleasing to the eye anymore.
Rong Xingyu felt helpless and amused in his heart.
He almost wanted to raise his hand and swear to the sky that he really had no such thoughts right now.
Did he really have a face that made people think he was secretly dating someone?
Rong Xingyu couldn’t help blinking his eyes a few times at himself in the mirror.
His looks were pretty normal, weren’t they?
Then Rong Xingyu remembered how his brothers finally spoke about why they had come to his room before they were sent out.
They actually thought he was in a relationship with Dr. Ding.
They even told him not to hang himself on a crooked old tree!!
Rong Xingyu asked in confusion, "Dr. Ding is very good and he’s not old."
His brothers: "..."
"But you’re only seventeen, Xiaoyu! You must not let that old cow eat the young grass. Be more alert, okay?"
Rong Xingyu’s thoughts drifted again.
They kept talking about old cows and young grass, like he was some kind of dish waiting to be eaten by Dr. Ding.
Thinking of that, Rong Xingyu’s face suddenly turned red.
He lifted his hand and pressed the back of his hand against his cheek, trying to cool down the heat rising on his face.
He couldn’t let his imagination run wild anymore.
His brothers has been misunderstood his relationship with Dr. Ding, so why was he following the same direction in his mind?
It was all his brothers’ fault!
While other high school students were still enjoying their winter break at home, Rong Xingyu and many students chosen for the competition training had already arrived early at the training base.
Since Rong Xingyu had never received such systematic training before, he immediately became like a sponge thrown into water, desperately soaking up new knowledge.
The students who could enter this base for training were all selected from different schools in Liaofang City to prepare for the upcoming national competition.
So everyone here was basically an academic genius.
But even among geniuses, none of them had seen someone like Rong Xingyu who not only had high intelligence but also worked so hard.
Very quickly, the entire base’s studying atmosphere became more intense because of him.
The students from the Qibao Dwith School said, "Hehe, this is familiar to us."
And slowly, many students from different schools learned that Qibao Dwith School actually had such a person.
Because of this, even though Rong Xingyu cared nothing about anything outside his textbooks, his "glorious stories" quietly spread all over the base.
He wasn’t even on the battlefield, yet the whole battlefield was full of his legend.
But Rong Xingyu who is focused only on the competition naturally didn’t notice any of this.
However, Rong Zhihao who was selected together with him saw everything clearly.
Rong Zhihao didn’t show anything on his face, but his heart felt very uncomfortable.
For some reason, he always felt that the attention falling on Rong Xingyu should have been his.
Just like the days they all spent together during the New Year at the Rong house.
Although the older brothers took care of both him and Rong Xingyu, to be honest... that wasn’t what Rong Zhihao wanted.
He couldn’t help secretly thinking: clearly he was the one who shared blood with them.
Why did he have to share his family’s love with this "outsider"?
Was it just because they had lived together for all these years?
