Chapter 286: Chapter 286: Yue will definitely take you in

"You’re going on a blind date, what on earth does it have to do with your sister tagging along!"

Qiao Yi rejected the idea without a second thought. Originally, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao did consider arranging a blind date for her, but due to her notorious reputation, there weren’t many from the Capital City’s upper class who were willing to take her; hence, that matter was dropped.

However, luckily there was no blind date back then, otherwise who knows who Qiao Yi might be married to now!

"Sister! Sister! My dear sister! You must save me! My lifelong happiness is in your hands!"

Qiao Qiao clung to Qiao Yi’s arm, swaying her back and forth almost to the point of making Qiao Yi throw up on him.

"Stop, stop, stop! If you keep shaking me, I’m going to get out of the car!"

Qiao Yi shouted, and Qiao Qiao quickly let go, sitting obediently to one side, his eyes gleaming as he waited for Qiao Yi to come up with a plan.

"If you don’t want to go on a blind date, then just get a girlfriend! You know, our family doesn’t care much about matching social status, as long as you like her and she has a good character, our family will accept her. If you had brought someone home earlier, mom and dad wouldn’t be in such a hurry now!"

Qiao Yi, feeling queasy from Qiao Qiao’s vigorous shaking, rolled down the car window and leaned weakly against the car door to offer her advice.

Who would’ve thought, the previously energetic Qiao Qiao instantly deflated upon mention of finding a girlfriend.

He looked as if he had taken a serious hit.

"What’s wrong? Have you been frostbitten?"

"No... it’s that, actually, I already have someone I like, it’s just, it’s just..."

Qiao Yi, irritated by his hemming and hawing, smacked him impatiently and spouted,

"Spit it out, will you? Stop hemming and hawing like a woman!"

Her sisterly authority swept away Qiao Qiao’s teenage shyness. He awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth and then spoke in earnest.

"Actually, I already have someone I like, I just haven’t confessed. I don’t even know if she likes me!"

A blush spread across Qiao Qiao’s cheeks; he was still a shy young man at heart, and felt somewhat embarrassed being probed by Qiao Yi.

"If you like someone, then you like them. It’d be weirder for someone your age not to have a crush!"

Qiao Yi chuckled as she ruffled Qiao Qiao’s hair, then her gossiping nature kicked in as she pressed him about what kind of girl he was into.

"She’s my university classmate, and she will return to Capital City in a few days. I’ll introduce you to her then."

Seeing Qiao Qiao blushing more and more, Qiao Yi stopped teasing him and began to ponder how to tactfully and respectfully decline Miss Song.

The youngest daughter of the Song Family, Song Yiyue, doted on by her five older brothers and spoiled like a princess since childhood, thinking about it gave Qiao Yi a headache.

She had seen plenty of such ’princesses’, each having a touch of princess syndrome.

Though they indeed lead lives like princesses, not everyone could handle their personalities!

Qiao Yi did not want her brother to suffer through that, not to mention how uncomfortable it would be at family gatherings with such a sister-in-law.

Even before meeting her, Qiao Yi already had some prejudice against Miss Song.

But no matter what Qiao Yi thought inwardly, Miss Song was indeed very beautiful.

Her beauty was different from the conventional; if Qiao Yi’s beauty was like a rose, vibrant yet thorny,

Song Yiyue’s beauty was more like that of a sunflower, making one want to smile involuntarily at the sight of her.

Judging by her looks alone, Song Yiyue is absolutely a very adorable girl.

It’s just that as soon as she starts to speak, Qiao Yi’s expression turns a bit sour.

"Little Qiao Qiao, after so many years, you still look like this! Going out on a date, why didn’t you dress up a bit? Do you look down on me!"

Qiao Qiao remains unfazed, apparently used to Song Yiyue’s tone of speech and even manages to shoot back a couple of lines rationally.

"You’re just as sloppy! We’re both the same, so neither of us can complain about the other!"

It seems that when Qiao Qiao said the two of them were good friends before, it was indeed true. If their relationship wasn’t that good, they wouldn’t be greeting each other this way.

Thinking of this, Qiao Yi feels somewhat more relaxed and, after greeting Song Yiyue, sits down on the other side of Qiao Qiao.

Song Yiyue clearly pays more attention to Qiao Qiao. She had only a fleeting acquaintance with Qiao Yi, having seen her from a distance once, so naturally, there wasn’t much to say.

But with Qiao Qiao, the two of them were exchanging words back and forth, not like they were on a blind date, nor like old friends reuniting after a long time, but rather like... they were performing a comic dialogue routine?

"It looks like your life abroad wasn’t so great; now you’re even having to go on blind dates!"

Song Yiyue rolled her eyes and naturally reached out her hand to Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Yi, puzzled, then sees Qiao Qiao assisting Song Yiyue to roll up her sleeves even more naturally, and even considerately pushed the drink cup closer to her.

Tsk...

These two kids, they really seem to have something going on!

Qiao Yi can’t help but doubt the credibility of Qiao Qiao’s statement that they are just good friends.

"Alright, the blind date’s done, now you have an explanation for your uncle and aunt when you get back!"

Song Yiyue noticed that Qiao Qiao glanced at his watch a couple of times, her expression became a bit duller, and impatiently waved her hands and stood up to leave.

As she passed by Qiao Qiao, Song Yiyue stopped, feigning depth as she patted Qiao Qiao’s shoulder twice.

"It’s not that Yue doesn’t want to help you, but if tomorrow comes and you still have no one, don’t worry, Yue will definitely take you in!"

Song Yiyue left with a swagger, leaving three people behind with one frowning and two deep in thought.

Qiao Yi really couldn’t make sense of the relationship between Qiao Qiao and Song Yiyue.

The interactions between these two, if you say they’re dating, it makes sense, and if you say they’re close friends like sisters or brothers, that makes sense too. Such natural communication and actions certainly cannot develop overnight.

"Qiao Qiao, you tell your sister honestly, do you have some feelings for Miss Song?"

"What? Me and her? You have no idea how she bullied me in high school! To get together with her, do you really have the heart to watch your brother be bullied for a lifetime!"

Qiao Qiao looked as frightened as if he forgot to be angry, waving his hands hurriedly, for fear that Qiao Yi might get the wrong idea.

Qiao Yi tugged at the corner of her mouth and didn’t continue on this topic.

Since Qiao Qiao doesn’t have that intent, then Song Yiyue must feel the same way; otherwise, why would she show no shyness or nervousness in front of Qiao Qiao.

There wasn’t a hint between the two that they wanted something more.

"Now that the girl has given you an out, I’ll speak to mom and dad when we get back, and you also need to hurry up and bring a girl home soon. That way, mom and dad won’t keep hounding you."

Qiao Qiao scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, okay, I got it. I’ll leave mom and dad to you then!"
