After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 446

Chapter 446: One Day It Will Be My Turn
However, it was too late; the black cloth over Lu Qing’s eyes had already been removed. He possessed almond-shaped eyes, the depths of which were clear and gentle, especially when he looked at Zhouzhou.

Yet Zhouzhou couldn’t afford to admire; with a sudden exclamation, she hurriedly embraced Grandma Qin’s face, preventing Lu Qing from seeing. She stomped her chubby feet while saying, “Fifth Senior Brother, quickly close your eyes, no peeking at physiognomy!”

Was he intending to offer himself as food for Jinbao? How could he be so careless with his own health! Thinking this, Zhouzhou glared at him in anger, “Close them quickly, or I won’t talk to you anymore!”

In the world of children, this was undoubtedly the most powerful threat.

Lu Qing had intended to say something, but seeing the little girl angry like a pufferfish, cheeks puffed up, belly protruding, he couldn’t hold it in and burst out laughing.

Zhouzhou’s eyes widened even more upon seeing this, unsure of what he found amusing, and hurriedly urged, “Fifth Senior Brother, quickly cover your eyes!”

Seeing her genuinely upset, Lu Qing, helpless, indulgently said, “Alright,” and covered his eyes again.

Zhouzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandma Qin, however, looked bewildered and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Zhouzhou let go of her and explained, “Grandma, this is my fifth senior brother. He is lacking in fate and cannot casually read people’s physiognomy. That’s why his eyes must be covered. If Fifth Senior Brother misbehaves and wants to read your fortune, he won’t. It’s not good for his health.”

Saying this, she glared angrily at Lu Qing again, pouting unhappily.

Grandma Qin didn’t fully understand, but since her granddaughter arrived, she had learned some mysterious matters, quite complicated.

She smiled and said, “Young man, no need to look. With Zhouzhou here, anything important will be told to us. You don’t need to help us look; your health is more important.”

“Yes, yes,” Zhouzhou nodded in agreement, looking at Lu Qing disapprovingly.

“Fifth Senior Brother, if you continue to neglect yourself for such trivial matters, and harm yourself, I really won’t talk to you anymore.”

With tears welling up in her eyes, she hugged Lu Qing’s leg and burst into tears, “Fifth Senior Brother, you have to be good, don’t be disobedient. I’m afraid you’ll leave, I don’t want Jinbao to eat you up, wuwuwu.”

The little girl cried with sincerity, and Lu Qing was immediately flustered.

He hurriedly bent down and lifted her up, his slender fingers gently wiping away the tears from her face, his forehead rubbing against hers, comforting, “Alright, alright, I’ll listen to Zhouzhou from now on. I won’t do any more readings.”

“Really?” Zhouzhou looked at him with teary eyes, chubby arms wrapped around his neck, anxiously asked.

“Really,” Lu Qing nodded.

Zhouzhou’s tears immediately stopped. She wiped her face and, with a sway of her short legs, jumped down, grumbling, “Only after seeing tears will you listen. I had to resort to this trick.”

Lu Qing’s mouth twitched. Why was his junior sister such a drama queen?

Yet, looking down at her tightly holding his hand, his heart softened.

She truly cared about him a lot.

Lu Qing gently reassured, “Zhouzhou, it’s not as serious as you think. Don’t listen to Master’s nonsense; he’s just trying to scare you. He wants you to do more work. I only observe and don’t reveal secrets, so nothing will happen.”

Zhouzhou’s drawings were better than his, so Master preferred her drawings. Although his were not bad, having the best meant nobody wanted the second best.

Master was unreliable, but they, being a bit older, could see through them. Zhouzhou was easy to fool.

Sure enough, Zhouzhou immediately shook her head vigorously, looking resolute, “No, Fifth Senior Brother, you are too kind and couldn’t help from helping others. Whenever you see someone about to fall, you want to help. That’s not okay; you shouldn’t see.”

Saying this, she hopped around trying to cover his eyes, but after hopping for a while, she still couldn’t reach.

Lu Qing lowered his gaze, watching the hopping little sprout, his mouth twitching again.

When would she understand that he only cared about whether she fell or not? Has her ever seen his eyelids twitching when Master fell?

However, Zhouzhou was convinced of his problem, insisting on protecting him from the start.

She sighed heavily, patting his hand, and said with emphasis, “Fifth Senior Brother, be good and listen to me. As long as you behave, I’ll give you candy, okay?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing’s smile widened, nodding slowly, “Okay.”

Zhouzhou also grinned, holding his hand as they walked inside, chattering away, introducing everything to him.

Grandma Qin watched her granddaughter’s figure, unable to contain her joy.

Zhouzhou and her senior brother’s relationship was indeed excellent, indicating that they must have had a good time on the mountain before.

Thinking of this, she nodded happily, contentedly walking inside.

Behind them, Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng exchanged glances.

Qin Lie took the initiative, “Let’s go to your place.”

He had mentioned discussing Zhouzhou’s situation earlier but hadn’t had the chance due to Lu Qing delaying a bit.

Ye Lingfeng nodded, “Alright, let’s go.”

The two didn’t speak much, briskly heading towards Ye’s house.

With only the two of them at home, there was no need to be cautious about what they said.

Qin Lie spoke directly, “Have you changed your mind?”

Ye Lingfeng nodded, “Yeah, Zhouzhou is so determined, you know.”

Qin Lie naturally understood, but he hadn’t expected even Ye Lingfeng couldn’t stop Zhouzhou.

Well, if he couldn’t persuade her, neither could he.

With a slight cough, Qin Lie asked, “So, are we letting Zhouzhou join like this?”

Ye Lingfeng didn’t like this either.

After some consideration, he finally said, “I have a compromise in mind…”

He then explained his decision and ended with, “Do you think it’s okay?”

It was still somewhat risky, but comparatively much better.

Qin Lie lightly tapped his fingertips together and nodded, “It’s fine, just remember, no matter what, protect Zhouzhou.”

“Of course, do you even need to say that?”

Qin Lie didn’t say anything more, just glanced at him from under his eyelids, “And also, protect yourself. You are the fundamental reason Zhouzhou wants to join.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng’s smile grew wider. He lifted his chin, glanced at Qin Lie, and snorted, “Realizing Zhouzhou likes me more, are you jealous?”

Qin Lie chuckled, “Hmph.”

He gave him a sidelong glance, “Dreaming before it’s even dark?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingfeng’s fist clenched instantly, looking at him displeasedly, silently cursing him in his mind.

Bah, what’s so great about you? Life is full of variables. One day, Zhouzhou’s beloved father will be his turn!
