Chapter 328: Complex relationships
“Help me?”
Xu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly; he truly didn’t believe that Lin Qingque would be so kind-hearted to help him. Frankly speaking, even if she said she would not get involved, that would be extremely rare for her.
After all, those with a morbid jealousy, as they say, understand what it means.
Unexpected kindness is likely to have an ulterior motive.
“Yes.”
Lin Qingque said with a smiling gaze.
“How will you help me?”
Xu Yuan snorted in derision inside his mind.
“Well, it’s simple…”
“You’re having a headache about your relationship with those two because you don’t know what they’re thinking, right?”
Lin Qingque had her eyes closed, but Xu Yuan could still imagine her expression as she spoke these words.
“And since I can read minds, wouldn’t it be fine if I just help you understand what they’re thinking and tell you about it afterward?”
“…”
Xu Yuan pondered slightly.
“That works, then I’ll have to trouble you, Junior Sister.”
“No problem, leave it to me…”
Just as Lin Qingque was about to agree, she turned her head and realized she had been trapped by Xu Yuan, hastily saying, “Wait! Brother, I can help you, but there are conditions.”
“Oh.”
Xu Yuan felt somewhat amused.
“Then forget it.”
“No, my demands are very simple, please.”
Lin Qingque grew anxious.
Why was everything unlike what she had imagined?
In her mind, her senior brother should be very anxious, otherwise, he wouldn’t have just taken a risk by making Tao Yaoyao responsible for Tao Tiantian’s safety, but the reality seemed different from what she expected.
“But I don’t think it’s very advantageous for me,” Xu Yuan said with a smile.@@novelbin@@
“How is it not advantageous? Think about it, just a few small requests.”
Lin Qingque felt more aggrieved as she spoke.
It was rare for her to take the initiative to help him solve problems, but he was unappreciative and even suspected she had some ulterior motive.
Though indeed she did have a small scheme, isn’t that a very normal thing for a girl?
“What small requests? Let me hear them first before I decide.”
Xu Yuan wasn’t so easily fooled. Saying it was a small request was likely to change later on.
Or perhaps it was a small request from her perspective but might be difficult for him.
“This…?”
Lin Qingque hesitated.
Xu Yuan was right; her intention was exactly that, calling them small requests, but in reality, they were simple for her.
But not necessarily so for Xu Yuan.
However, she hadn’t expected her senior brother to guess her intentions like he had the Mind-Reading Technique.
“Ah, Brother, I haven’t thought of them yet, actually, I just wanted to help share your burden, nothing malicious.”
Lin Qingque tried to cutely dodge the question.
Xu Yuan glanced at her.
If not for Tao Yaoyao and another person present in the cave, she might have already come up to cling to his arm and act coquettishly.
“Then… how about you help me first? As for the requests, we can discuss them later.”
“Okay.”
After Lin Qingque agreed, she started feeling uneasy.
Had she been looped back to the beginning by Xu Yuan?
Wasn’t this the same as what he initially said?
“Brother, you aren’t going to pull up your pants and deny knowing me after this, are you?”
Lin Qingque asked cautiously.
“How could I? Where are your thoughts going? Would I be that kind of person?” Xu Yuan replied with a chuckle.
“Besides, if you’re afraid I won’t acknowledge it, you could say them now.”
“This…”
Lin Qingque was still hesitant.
“Right, if you say them now, you won’t have to worry about me denying it later,” Xu Yuan said, smiling.
“But Brother…”
Lin Qingque stopped speaking there.
If she continued, it would just revert to the situation before.
“Never mind, I choose to trust you, Brother.”
Ultimately, Lin Qingque decided to trust him.
The so-called “small requests” were actually just some additional things.
Really, her main purpose was to create a dilemma of choice to see how Xu Yuan would decide, providing a reference for herself for similar situations in the future and along the way, gain some favor.
After all, her Heart Voice hypnotism seemed to have lost its effects.
“Then I’ll trouble you, Junior Sister.”
Xu Yuan said with a smile.
He had her figured out.
Actually, Xu Yuan did indeed find the issues between Tao Tiantian and Tao Yaoyao quite bothersome.
After all, their issues weren’t just about a clone and the original, as simple as that.
The one who wins, becomes the original.
However, the problem wasn’t entirely unsolvable.
After all, as long as no original is determined, both could be considered the original.
“Wait.”
Lin Qingque grew more irritated as she thought about it.
Initially, he should have been the one asking for her help, but how had it turned into her begging him to let her help?
“…”
Xu Yuan waited for her for quite a while, but he never received any Heart Voice communication from her.
“What’s the matter?”
Xu Yuan couldn’t openly use Divine Sense or speak directly, so he had to communicate with his eyes instead.
“…”
Lin Qingque returned a very aggrieved look and said, “They both don’t have Heart Voices right now; perhaps, Brother, you could say something?”
Xu Yuan felt somewhat helpless.
“Ahem, are you guys hungry?”
Xu Yuan struggled to find a suitable topic to talk about.
Mainly because the relationship between Tao Yaoyao and Tao Tiantian was quite complicated, akin to just a tissue-paper apart.
If he wasn’t careful and pierced through that tissue-paper, causing their precarious relationship to fracture, the problem would indeed be huge.
“…”
Tao Tiantian looked up at him, rather speechlessly.
