Chapter 394: Chapter 394: Who Told You He’s My Brother?
Shen Yi had no idea that the paintings he’d secretly hidden in his special space had almost been thrown out. He decided that from now on, he would stick to Qin Jiao like glue so that other men wouldn’t have a chance to move in on her.
After her morning classes ended, Qin Jiao waited for Shen Yi by the cafeteria, but he was late. She was so pretty that even in a simple blue gauze shirt and black pants, many of the male students couldn’t help but look her way.
She sighed softly and decided to go in and eat. After all, just standing there was drawing too much attention.
But the next moment, Sun Lili and another female classmate walked over, running right into Qin Jiao.
Qin Jiao remembered this girl was an expert at being passive-aggressive. She seemed to take a jab at anyone she didn’t like, and priding herself on being a North City local from a supposedly well-off family, she loved having people suck up to her.
But when was Qin Jiao ever the type to put up with that? If you provoked her, she wouldn’t hesitate to clap back, no matter who it was.
This time, however, Qin Jiao was wrong. When Sun Lili saw Qin Jiao, her eyes lit up. She abandoned her roommate and eagerly walked up to her, saying, "Qin Jiao, you’re here to eat too!"
’Duh. Why else would I come to the cafeteria? To wash dishes?’
Qin Jiao just grunted in acknowledgment. "What’s up? Do you need something?"
"It’s about the guy who brought you an umbrella yesterday..." As a young woman who’d never been in a relationship, she was still a bit shy. Sun Lili blushed and couldn’t get the rest of the sentence out.
Just then, Qin Jiao spotted Shen Yi. She moved past Sun Lili and said, "I have to go."
Feeling annoyed at being ignored, Sun Lili turned her head and saw Qin Jiao walk over to that tall, handsome guy. The guy seemed to be saying something to Qin Jiao with a smile, but Qin Jiao kept a straight face the whole time.
Seeing the guy’s handsome face, Sun Lili completely forgot about being mad at Qin Jiao. She nervously straightened her hair, then walked over and said, "Hi there! You must be Qin Jiao’s older brother, right? I’m one of her classmates!"
Shen Yi: "..."
Qin Jiao: "..."
Shen Yi turned to look at Qin Jiao, who knew exactly what he was thinking. Just last night, he’d been throwing a jealous fit. And even though he had prepared a basin of water for her to wash her feet later that evening, he was still fundamentally worried about other guys at school pursuing her.
The fact that they couldn’t tell anyone they’d already had a wedding ceremony had made Young Master Shen extremely unhappy. In the end, Qin Jiao had to compromise, allowing him to say that they were dating.
And now, in the blink of an eye, he’d been demoted to her "brother"...
Qin Jiao frowned at Sun Lili. "Who told you he was my brother?"
Sun Lili said, "Oh, he’s not your brother? Then why did he bring you an umbrella the moment it started raining? Besides, I think you two look alike. You’re both very good-looking."
What Sun Lili said wasn’t entirely untrue. Perhaps it was because Qin Jiao and Shen Yi had been a couple in their past lives, had gotten together early on in this one, and shared the secrets of their rebirth and the special space, they were now growing more and more in sync.
Couples who live together for a long time start to resemble each other, and that was exactly the case for Qin Jiao and Shen Yi. They were both good-looking, but while their styles were different, their overall auras were becoming more and more similar.
After hearing Sun Lili’s words and realizing she had just been guessing, the hostility in Shen Yi’s eyes finally began to fade. He put his arm around Qin Jiao’s shoulder and said slowly, "Well, you guessed wrong. She’s not my sister. She’s my girlfriend."
"What?!" Sun Lili was stunned.
Qin Jiao didn’t push Shen Yi’s hand away, nor did she pay any attention to Sun Lili. She just said to Shen Yi, "Let’s hurry up and eat. We have errands to run afterward."
"Alright, whatever Jiao Jiao says."
As the two of them walked away, Sun Lili—who had just been force-fed a huge public display of affection by the guy she had a crush on—suddenly felt like crying.
