Chapter 316: Chapter 319 Helping Romantic Rival is Helping Oneself_1

Yang Fei stated earnestly: "Xiaorou, you’re not guarded enough! This guy, Yang Gang, must have plotted something bad against you!"

She paused, then continued: "After you left Hangcheng, he was obviously very down."

"Really?" Gu Xiaorou asked in surprise.

"Yes. Oh, Xiaorou, don’t mention this to your boyfriend. In case he causes trouble to Yang Gang, that would be bad. Although I’m really mad at Yang Gang, he’s still my brother. I don’t want to see him be bullied." Yang Fei said.

Gu Xiaorou laughed lightly, half joking and half serious: "Feifei, could this be... sister complex?"

Yang Fei’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment: "Xiaorou, you can’t joke about such things!"

After a slight hesitation, her emotions calmed down, then suddenly asked: "Hey, Xiaorou, do you think I have a brother complex too?"

Gu Xiaorou was taken aback inwardly, maintaining her composure she asked: "Then Feifei, how do you see Yang Gang?"

Yang Fei looked warily around, then spoke in hushed tones: "Honestly, I feel weird about myself lately too. When Yang Gang isn’t around, I feel like I’m missing something. Seeing him flirt with other women, I feel inexplicably uncomfortable. There was even one time when I dreamed that Yang Gang and I got married, which scared me awake. Ah!"

As Yang Fei recalled something, she hurriedly added: "Xiaorou, don’t share this with anyone else. If word got out, my reputation would be ruined and I would be too ashamed to face anyone."

Gu Xiaorou felt a sense of depression.

What on earth did you do to Yang Fei, Yang Gang? How could Yang Fei harbor feelings for you as her brother!

This is incest!

Gu Xiaorou understood that Yang Fei was not really in love with Yang Gang right now. She was just a bit confused, but the feelings were starting to sprout. If Yang Fei could not restrain herself, this thread of romantic affection would grow like a bud, gradually maturing until its branches fill her heart, ultimately causing her to genuinely fall in love with Yang Gang.

For Gu Xiaorou, both Su Xiaoxi and Yang Fei posed as romantic rivals. One was an overt rival, the other a potential one, and both rivals were formidable. At face value, Su Xiaoxi apparently had an overwhelming advantage.

But deep down, Gu Xiaorou felt that Yang Fei was her greatest competitor.

When Gu Xiaorou first met Yang Fei, she felt as though they were destined rivals.

"Eh, Xiaorou, do you think my situation would be considered a brother complex?" Yang Fei asked weakly.

Gu Xiaorou laughed lightly: "Feifei, you’re overthinking it. It’s common for sisters to have brother complexes. It’s not related to incest but merely an emotional dependence. Just like many men have mother complexes, they’re actually attached to the warmth of maternal love. Sisters are identical. They depend on their brothers subconsciously, believing that their brothers will protect them forever. They crave the sense of security brought by this protection. So when brothers grow up and get girlfriends, sisters subconsciously feel as if their brothers have been taken away, that their brothers will no longer protect them, hence leading to feelings of apparent jealousy. All these are normal psychology, and it’s not hard to deal with."

"How to deal with it?" Yang Fei asked timidly.

"Sisters’ root cause of brother complex stems from a lack of security, they believe that brothers will stop protecting them once they have girlfriends. So resolving the sense of security will solve the issue." Gu Xiaorou answered.

"For example?" Yang Fei asked.

Gu Xiaorou chuckled: "For example, finding a boyfriend to protect herself. Sisters always need to experience the transition from relying on brothers to relying on boyfriends in their lives."

"Oh, is that so?" Yang Fei pondered, nodding thoughtfully: "Xiaorou, I also thought about this problem. Finding a boyfriend..."

Feifei, our goddess, contemplated momentarily before dialing Yang Gang’s number.

"Hey, Yang Gang, I’m planning to get a boyfriend, do you have any recommendations?" Yang Fei asked bluntly.

Yang Gang: ...

"Hello, Yang Gang, are you listening?" Yang Fei asked again when Yang Gang didn’t respond for a while.

"I’m listening."

"Then why aren’t you saying anything!"

Yang Gang was sweating bullets: "What on earth, little sister, where does your brain spark wire? You have your brother, why do you need a boyfriend?"

"Of course, I need one. There are many things a boyfriend can do that a brother can’t." Yang Fei insisted confidently.

Yang Gang: ...

Gu Xiaorou: ...

Gu Xiaorou was barely holding it together. Could you possibly be less naive? With your adorable ditziness, I am tempted to abandon Yang Gang and turn lesbian.

"Ahem, Feifei, your words could be easily misunderstood." Finally, Gu Xiaorou pitched in.

"Huh?" Yang Fei paused, confused. After a while, finally realizing her fault, her face went red: "I... I didn’t mean it that way."

"Alright, alright. Feifei, why do you suddenly want a boyfriend? Was it Gu Xiaorou’s suggestion?" Yang Gang had heard Gu Xiaorou’s voice on the phone call.

"No. Xiaorou only mentioned it. It’s mainly because I also have a strong desire to find a boyfriend." Yang Fei seemed to have recalled something, her eyes lit up: "I just remembered, there’s a city-wide matchmaking event in Hangcheng this weekend. I think I’ll go and take a look. Who knows, I might meet my Prince Charming? Oh, Xiaorou, could you and Yang Gang accompany me, and be my advisors?"

"Okay!" Gu Xiaorou agreed enthusiastically. In situations like these, helping your romantic rival equates to helping yourself.

"Yang Gang, it’s settled then. I have to go now." Just as Yang Fei was about to hang up, she suddenly remembered something: "Oh, and no dinner for you tonight!"

Then she hung up.

Sitting on a park bench in Hangcheng, Yang Gang stared blankly as the line went dead.

As Yang Gang was struggling to find the right words, a juvenile male voice suddenly resonated: "Qingyin, so you’re here. I’ve been looking for you for a long time."

Yang Gang turned to find a tall, skinny boy talking. He appeared to be about the same age as Ye Qingyin, around 12 or 13 years old-a middle schooler. The boy’s youthful face still clung to a bit of naivety, radiating the youthful vigor of a young guy.

Young Master Yang felt a pang of jealousy. When I was 12 or 13 years old, I started living in the ruthless world of the Bounty Hunters due to ’life pressures’. Back then, I was thinking about tasks, earning money, and repaying debts every day. I was so overwhelmed, there wasn’t any youthful vigor.

The boy seemed surprised when he saw Ye Qingyin but more reflected a type of excitement, mixed with a bit of adolescent shyness.

Though Young Master Yang was not very emotionally intelligent, he could still tell that this little boy seemed to like Ye Qingyin.

However, Ye Qingyin’s reaction was very cool, she merely responded with an indifferent ’Oh’.

When she turned her head and saw Yang Gang, she paused: "Why are you here?"

Standard five words, she is still as tight-lipped as ever.

"Uh, Qingyin, who is he?" The boy asked.

"Boyfriend." Ye Qingyin responded indifferently.

Yang Gang: ...
