I wiped my tears and secretly glanced at Hua Tinh Nhiem: "It's all because of you! Who told you to expose... now your brother hates me even more huhu..." After saying that, I buried my face in my knees, secretly watching the two people's reactions through my fingers. The system trembled and exclaimed: 【Master! What a master!!】 Hua Tinh Nhiem was stunned for a moment, confused by my crying, then suddenly burst out laughing: "Dude, what did you say to the girl? Did you make someone cry so bitterly?" Someone defended me, I immediately raised my head and accused: "Little sister! Your brother still wants to kill you! How can I live anymore huh..." Hua Tan Nien: "???" 4 【Turn over? I accidentally fell into a high-level chess board!】 I didn't bother paying attention to the system. All I could do was raise my teary eyes and look at the two brothers in front of me like rain-drenched puppies. Hua Tan Nien took a step closer, frowning very slightly. His cold eyes stared at me for a few seconds, then he curled his lips and smiled coldly: "Tell me, what do you mean I will kill you later?" 【Aaaaa! You're acting too much, Hua Tan Nien is very smart!】 【What should I do now?!】 At this point... I just have to make it up. I joked without blinking: "Last night I dreamed that... after graduating from college, the two of us would get married." "Then I got pregnant and was on my abstinence month but I sneaked out to eat grilled food and he caught me." "He immediately carried me home, sat on the sofa with a cold face and said: 'If you dare to hide your food from me next time, I will kill you.'" "I just have a little appetite! What am I wrong?!" As I spoke and wiped my tears, I suddenly felt... why did I suddenly start to see why? After crying, I still have a strange spirit. "Sister-in-law! You're not wrong! It's really too much!" Hua Tinh Nhiem immediately helped me up, handed me a tissue and scolded her brother: "She just wanted to eat some grilled food! Why are you being so cruel?!" “I was scolded too much because of you!” "Don't worry, from now on I'll be on your side! Absolutely won't let him bully you anymore!" The system was excited: 【See, they are no longer love rivals, they are close friends!】 Hua Tan Nien was still staring at me. It was as if he wanted to penetrate my brain and find out whether I was telling the truth or not. My face was hot and sweat was also breaking out from nervousness. I silently chanted in my heart: Buddha Tathagata blesses me, I don't want to lie, it's just a forced situation. In the future, if I have the opportunity to make money, please don't leave me behind! I feel like if I stay any longer I will definitely be exposed. I took a deep breath, looked straight into Hua Tan Nien's probing eyes, used an expression mixed with resentment - hurt - helplessness, and softly said: "You don't like me, that's your right." “But I like you… it's also my right.” “Sorry for bothering you.” “From now on… I will not appear in front of you again.” The system sneered: 【The move “backwards to move forward”? There's potential!】 【Still the best, host! Follow her around, don't worry about falling for the guy!】 I gritted my teeth to endure the pain in my toe, turned around and left in silence. As he walked, he hissed through his teeth: "Saw off his head! Don't we still have to go after To Uy Xuyen?!" 5 To Uy Xuyen goes to the bookstore to study every weekend. Because at home he has a father who loves gambling and often beats people, a grandmother who is seriously ill, and the whole family lives in poverty. dilapidated old house. There is no environment to study properly. Yet, it still maintains the top position in the block. True to the model of "male hero who saves" and nothing else. This time I prepared an extremely thoughtful battle plan. From Hua Tinh Nhiem's circle of friends, I knew she would go with her brother to celebrate her grandfather's birthday. So you probably won't be able to run into me at the bookstore, right? I will pretend to go buy documents. Then... pretended to stumble right in front of To Uy Xuyen, normally guys would help him up, right? So there is physical contact! Then I would blush and say: "I can't find a seat, can you let me study with you?" Straight lines establish relationships. Get acquainted first, then consider "sawing". This time I'm smarter. Don't bring boxed lunches, don't write love letters. Moving forward can attack, retreating can defend. I silently praised myself for being a genius. Smiling while reaching for a book. Suddenly a hand appeared above, slender and white, with clear knuckles. Grab the exact book I was going to get. What the hell?! More than a thousand books, do I have to fight for the exact book I'm aiming for?! I raised my head — Stunned on the spot. It's Hua Tan Nien again. But there's something... different about him today. Hua Tinh Nhiem jumped out from behind, giggling teasingly: "Ah, isn't this fate?" “Among so many books, you two chose the same one!” "No wonder my brother came home last night and immediately dyed his hair black. It turns out he has an appointment with me here today!" “Sister-in-law, I know~ Yesterday you said you were so angry that you just sulked.” Only then did I understand - Hua Tan Nien feels different today because... he lost his blonde hair. Soft black hair falls over her forehead. Even took off the earrings. Wear a simple white t-shirt and jeans. Tall figure, neat lines. The whole person is like a green bamboo that has just been bathed in the rain, both clean and bright. Especially that face, it's so beautiful that it's realistic. I'm so useless that... my heart skips a beat. The system pouted: 【Human emotions, they're normal.】 【This is the ultimate demon! If it were me, I would also be shaken.】 Hua Tan Nien leaned loosely against the bookshelf, raised his eyebrows lazily and asked: "Didn't you say you wouldn't appear in front of me again?" “Is that such a coincidence?” I gritted my teeth: "System, listen, who said that?!" I swallowed the idea of praising him for being handsome again. Looking for an explanation. Then he met Hua Tinh Nhiem's sparkling, expectant eyes. …Well, cancel the plan. I closed my eyes and surrendered: "Yes, I followed you here." Hua Tan Nien paused slightly, the smile on his lips stiffened. His eyes shifted slightly, somewhat unnaturally. “There's no point,” he said, “I'm not interested in love at all.” Hua Tinh Nhiem immediately put his arm around my shoulder and pulled out the book: "She bought the whole book to pursue you, so why are you pretending?" “If you don't like it, don't be too cold.” Hua Tan Nien and I looked over at the same time. Then — Petrified on the spot. On the cover of the book are clearly printed in large letters: 《Dog Training Manual: 7 Tactics to Make Him Obediently Bark 'Woof'》 ... Jumping into the Yellow River probably won't wash away this sound now. 6 【Hahaha Dear Earth, I withdraw from the chat group on behalf of Du Hi here!】 【Host, do we... still have a chance to save? Hahaha burp.】 “Can you still laugh?!” I turned red as a beet, snatched the book back from Hua Tinh Nhiem's hand, bowed my head, covered my face with my hair, and hurriedly walked towards the cashier. Too hasty. Just as I passed Hua Tan Nien, my foot... slipped. I tripped and fell, reflexively hugging... his thigh. The scene immediately fell into a state of silence. “System… don't withdraw from the group anymore, can you dig a hole and bury me on the spot?” Aaaaaaa!!! Know it now! Humans cannot be so arrogant as to raise a flag like that!! The system said nothing. It just smiled sadly. A light, hoarse male voice rang out above his head, very close: "Are you hugging enough? Hmm?" Only a layer of fabric apart but still clearly feeling his tight thigh muscles. The feeling under my hand woke me up — letting go was like a burn. System: 【Whoa~ I'm really starting to push the boat with two people.】 【Ah ah ah~ The atmosphere is so shady.】 I clenched my fist, almost crushing the system's soul: "Is now the time to say those things? Traitor!!" But in Hua Tan Nien's eyes, my image was... my shoulders were shaking, like I was crying. He sighed, wrapped his arms around my waist to help me up, his voice carrying a bit of helplessness: "Are you crying again?" “Okay, let me hug you, okay?” His hot palm touched his waist, the place he just touched trembled. The system laughed happily: 【Oh my god, it's so amazing.】 【He definitely thought she fell on purpose to get a close touch!】 【Seriously, look at his red ears!】 【Didn't she just stare at him for a few seconds like she was lost, he was probably thinking in his heart: "This girl is crazy about me, she has to pretend to fall I just accepted!”】 I held my forehead. I want to go to the board and call my name and die on the spot. Hua Tinh Nhiem thought I was... afraid to blush, so she leaned close to my ear and whispered: "Sister-in-law, your face is so red!" “But next time, don't hug your thighs, we have 8 packs, you should hug…” Before he could finish his sentence, Hua Tan Nien put his hand over her mouth. “What is the eight pack?!” Hua Tinh Nhiem slid down to avoid it, not forgetting to add: "You also have super strong biceps! You can even lift your sister-in-law with one hand!" Hua Tan Nien got angry, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, grabbed the back of his sister's neck: "If you say that again, I'll cut off your pocket money!"
