Chapter 1697: Chapter 1698: Disobey and I’ll Flick Little Zhe
You thought for a moment and asked: "Sis, I remember Ji Zi was afraid of Ji Fa’s revenge and established his own country in North Korea, and even spread Go all over the world, living a carefree life. No wonder the Koreans are all shameless, truly dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice dig holes. But what about Wei Zi?"
"Wei Zi, since he conspired with Ji Fa, naturally got the power he wanted and later established his own country, the founding monarch of the Spring and Autumn period, Song Country State."
"Victory or defeat, that’s how it is." You clapped your hands with emotion and said to Li Qiyi, "Sis, you sit down first, your brother is going to cook a comforting dinner for you!"
Watching you wobble into the kitchen, little tunes soon hummed out from inside, and a hint of happiness spread across Li Qiyi’s delicate face.
Actually, her wish was very simple, she just hoped their relationship could always be like this, simple, carefree, and joyful.
"Here comes the food!"
In just twenty minutes, you had cooked three dishes and made a bowl of soup, all presented in front of Li Qiyi.
Li Qiyi was just about to stand up, but you quickly rushed to her side, stretching your hands smoothly to her back and under her legs, lifting her up easily before she could speak.
"Mu Yun, I can walk, put me down."
"No way, your foot is so swollen now, if it gets injured again, it’ll be a big problem. Besides, I’m your real brother, what’s wrong with hugging my sister? When we were little, we even shared a bathtub." You looked cheekily at Li Qiyi in your arms, smiling roguishly.
"You little rascal, obviously taking advantage of your sister!" Li Qiyi feigned anger.
Your thick skin could withstand a ground-to-ground missile, as you happily served Li Qiyi a bowl of soup: "Not taking advantage would be foolish, Sis, try your brother’s cooking, you’re the first to taste my boiled, stewed, and fried skills together."
"Oh, oh, talking like you’re a kitchen god."
Li Qiyi picked up the spoon and spooned some soup.
The soup was yam and rib soup, looking very light but smelling very fragrant. You pressure-cooked the ribs for fifteen minutes with high heat, then added yams and used low heat for a few minutes, and Li Qiyi smelled the unique aroma of yam and ribs from afar.
Seeing Li Qiyi gently place the spoon by her mouth with her enticing red lips slightly pursed, after tasting a sip, you asked anxiously: "Sis, how is it?"
Li Qiyi smiled and nodded: "Hmm, not bad at all, quite like mom’s cooking skills."
Your mother’s cooking was renowned in the neighborhood, and to hear such praise from Li Qiyi showed your skills were indeed noteworthy.
"Try this too."
You quickly placed a piece of bok choy into Li Qiyi’s bowl, she put it in her mouth and smiled, nodding: "Great, don’t just stand there, let’s eat together."
"Alright!"
The two siblings rarely had time alone, each had their own thoughts but neither expressed them, only enjoying this warm moment.
After being satiated, you washed the dishes, Li Qiyi watched TV for a while, then seeing you come out of the kitchen, she said: "Mu Yun, are you free tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow?" You thought for a moment, saying, "I don’t know, probably free, Sis, do you need my help?"
"Yeah, Yanan just called earlier saying she wants to co-rent with me. I’m living alone anyway, so I agreed. She’ll move her furniture tomorrow, I was supposed to help but now my foot is sprained, so I can only rely on you."
You shrugged, smiling ambiguously: "What’s the big deal, just moving house. But, Sis, what if you both get boyfriends, won’t you still live together?"
Li Qiyi gave you a sideways look, feigning anger: "What are you thinking, brat! Is your sister that kind of person? Besides, it’s not as easy as you think to find a boyfriend, seems I’m destined to be lonely forever."
Hearing this, you couldn’t help patting your chest and saying: "Sis, don’t worry, I’ll definitely find you a reliable man; if it doesn’t work out, I’ll take care of you myself."
"Your words make me feel much more at ease, but Mu Yun, if one day I suddenly leave China, don’t come looking for me."
"Why?" This unexpected statement from Li Qiyi made your heart suddenly sting, very painfully!
With a slight smile, Li Qiyi looked at her beloved brother before her: "Because it means I’m tired of the life in front, I’ll settle in a small town in Europe, enjoying its peace and harmony. Maybe someday I’ll be tired and come back, hoping by then, you won’t resent this old lady."
"Sis, you will always be my dearest sister, no matter how you change, I’ll be with you, take care of you."
Li Qiyi smiled and nodded, slowly exhaled and said: "Help me up, Yanan went back to Jingning tonight, you can sleep in the guest room."
"Alright."
You helped Li Qiyi out the door, locked the room, then carried her downstairs.
Though feeling a little embarrassed, Li Qiyi still greatly enjoyed your embrace.
Reaching downstairs, Li Qiyi pointed to a parked SMART car in front and asked: "Do you have a driver’s license?"
"Yes, international driver’s license."
Li Qiyi froze for a moment, then sighed: "Forget it, let me drive. International licenses can’t be used in China, not legally recognized."
"No matter, my driving skills are good anyway, and since your car is so small, the cops won’t notice it."
Saying this, you opened the passenger door, placed Li Qiyi inside, then seated yourself in the driver’s seat. After fastening your seatbelt, you commented on the small car interior: "Sis, with your salary, why buy such a small car? Moreover, all my savings are with you, just using a month’s interest could buy a Porsche, aren’t you girls fond of sports cars?"
Li Qiyi rolled her eyes, then stretched out her slender fingers and flicked your forehead: "Is your sister the type who loves to show off? Besides, a car is just transport, the most convenient is the best. How to drive a Porsche on Yuhang City’s crowded roads? I don’t like being flashy, this small car is great, with two inside, nobody can squeeze in."
You rubbed your forehead, smiled: "That’s true."
You added: "Sis, can you not always flick my forehead, like when I was little? I’m not young anymore; if others see, that’s not good."
"To me, you’re always the brother who doesn’t grow up. I’m your sister, who can say anything if I flick you?"
Only with you did Li Qiyi reveal a pampered side girls show when in love; only in front of you could she laugh without worries, freely and joyfully.
But Li Qiyi’s next words made you roll your eyes and almost gag: "Besides, I only flicked your forehead; if you made a mistake when you were little, I’d flick your little birdie."
