The fiercest and sweetest

Chapter 18: Chess Piece Cake

Jiang Yao was confused when Jiang Mu pushed him up to change his clothes. He sat by the bed, his big, round eyes staring at the sleeve of his shirt that he had accidentally wet, and his expression was blank.

What is this? Just a little wet here, and I need to change my clothes?

Jiang Yao was at a loss for words up there, while the few people below were whispering.

Jiang Zhui hung his jacket on the hanger, and the inky green pupils in his eyes were impenetrable. His eyes were slightly narrowed, and his thin lips were tightly pursed together. Just looking at him, you could tell that his mood was not good.

“Big brother, what's wrong?” Jiang Yuan didn't really understand why Jiang Zhui had just been in high spirits when he left the house, but as soon as he returned, his mood had dropped so much.

Did something unpleasant happen on the way?

Jiang Zhui picked up an apple and nibbled on it politely: “Jiang Yuan, have you investigated your little treasure's classmate?” His tone was cold, and his eyes were serious as if he were about to go to a negotiation in the mall.

“...No, I don't think it's necessary,” Jiang Yuan suddenly remembered Yan Qi's magical question, and his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly, his black pupils glowing with a cold metallic light.

Jiang's father and mother sat together, their eyes lightly scanning their two sons. They didn't say anything, nor did they stop them. The sound of the TV overrode their conversation, and their expressions grew more and more serious.

Jiang's mother idly adjusted the TV channel, and her straight back leaned slightly and relaxed against Jiang's father's body. A gentle smile still curled the corners of her mouth, “Is my little treasure in love?” She said this in a light tone, her expression self-assured.

Jiang Zhui looked at his mother's mouth unconsciously and a smile crept onto his lips. The sun broke free from behind the dark clouds at some point, and the drizzle reflected everything that the human eye could not see.

“My dear said he's not seeing anyone, but I think it's that person who has a crush on my dear.” He had heard Yan Heng's confession, and at first he thought Jiang Yao had already agreed, but Jiang Yao said there was no such thing.

Jiang Yuan rubbed his temples, and then looked out at the flowers being battered by the rain. He gave a small smile and said, “Little Treasure hasn't talked about it. He probably doesn't have the heart to do so.”

“Speaking of which, you said you want to cut off Little Yao's allowance?” Jiang Yuan's father glared at the smiling Jiang Yuan with a stern expression. His battle-hardened eyes were full of severity, as if he wanted to cut Jiang Yuan into a thousand pieces.

”...His grades are really too bad.”

“It's fine if his grades are bad, as long as Xiao Yao is happy. Besides, even if his grades are bad, does it mean that the Jiang family can't afford to support him?” Jiang Zhui laughed and defended Jiang Yuan for Jiang Fu. Jiang Yuan's smile at the corner of his mouth began to stiffen, and his face eventually twisted.

Damn it, who came up with this idea? Now he's lecturing him? If he trusts his big brother for the rest of his life, he'll be a dog!

Jiang Yuan was really angry with his older brother, who had instantly blamed him for everything. But Jiang's mother and father still cast reproachful glances at him, even though it was his older brother who was really to blame!

Jiang Yuan felt so aggrieved that he felt like singing the grievances of Dou E.

Before they could argue about whose fault it was, Jiang Yao came downstairs, dressed. He was wearing casual clothes with a bunny rabbit printed on them, and his round, innocent eyes were wide.

Jiang's mother looked at the cute and obedient Jiang Yao and immediately beamed. She pushed Jiang's father away and patted the spot where he had been sitting: “Come, Yao, sit next to mommy.”

“Ah...okay.” Jiang Yao slowly walked over to that spot, met Jiang's father's jealous gaze, and flashed a bright smile.

Jiang's mother looked at Jiang Yao, who seemed to have lost dozens of pounds, with pain in her heart, and without hesitation, pinched Jiang Yao's face with her fingers: “Xiao Yao, have you not been eating properly recently? Look at how thin you've become.”

“It's your fault, second brother, for making no reason to let you stay overnight. Home-cooked meals are always better than those in the canteen.”

Jiang Yuan, who had been forced to admit another crime... Jiang Yuan's eyes widened, his mouth twitching, but in the end, he saw his father's expression of taking it for granted and closed his blood-red mouth.

Alright, alright, all the fault is his. Jiang Yuan slumped onto the sofa like a salted fish, the words “no hope for life” written all over his face.

Jiang Yao couldn't help but snigger at the sight of his second brother, who looked vibrant and alive like a delicate flower after the rain, even more dazzling and radiant after being washed clean.

“Second brother, just admit it,”

with parents and eldest brother away for most of the year, there was only the second brother left, so of course he was to blame for everything. Hahahaha...

Laughter and joy filled the air, and family harmony prevailed. Yan Heng, however, was not so lucky. He was caught in a sudden downpour and came home a wet mess. When he finally made it home, his brother, who was still in one piece, mocked him.

Yan Qi smiled as he set the table for Yan's mother, but his eyes couldn't help but wander to Yan Heng, who was intently looking at his phone, his expression tense as if he were about to go through life and death. His bushy eyebrows and big eyes were all scrunched up: “What's wrong? Has your little friend not yet approved your friend request?”

“He will definitely approve it!” Yan Heng's hair was still dripping with water, and he nervously stared at his phone.

Yan's mother served up the steamed fish she had prepared, frowned at her good-looking eyebrows, and slapped Yan's back with her open palm. Her strength was so great that Yan almost fell to the ground: “Dry your hair and stop playing with your phone!”

Yan, who barely managed to keep her balance, still stared at her phone. It was as if there was some great treasure inside.

“Oh, okay, I'll go right now!” She said she would go right away, but she was still holding her phone and wouldn't take her eyes off it. Yan Qi immediately took Yan Heng's phone away from her and pushed her back into the room.

The door was locked, and Yan Mu looked at the two little brats who had escaped, unable to laugh or cry. She really didn't know what she had done by giving birth to them. Making her suffer and work hard?

Yan Heng's eyes were red with anger as he reached out to grab the phone from Yan Qi's hand. But Yan Qi, as if he had anticipated his actions, crouched down and made him miss his target.

“It's no use getting worked up, just hurry up and dry your hair and go eat,”

Yan Qi said, thinking back to what he had discovered and feeling quite sad for his silly younger brother.

Yan Heng could see that there was no way he could get it back, so he could only obediently listen to Yan Qi for the time being. The towel was roughly rubbed back and forth on his head a few times, and Yan Qi was worried about his hair.

Rubbing it like this, it will fall out someday, right? Thinking about Yan Heng with a big bald head, Yan Qi couldn't hold back anymore. He squatted down and laughed for a few minutes in Yan Heng's gaze that seemed to look at an i***t, and when he finally stopped talking, he still carried a laugh.

“I...hahahahaha...“

”What do you want to say?” Yan Heng actually didn't want to care what this person was crazy about, but he couldn't bear the fact that his phone was still being held tightly.

Wait, what if the child agrees? What if the child asks him a question and he doesn't have time to answer?

Yan Heng was worried about a whole lot of unrealistic things, and he was so anxious that he was about to lose his temper and do something rude to Yan Qi. Yan Qi then calmed down, and his expression became serious for a moment.

“I'll tell you something, and after you hear it, you must never give up on yourself."
