1990s: Spring Water Family

Chapter 47 Could it be because of you that they are the two of them?
"No way?"

Qu Peng thought of one possibility, and his heart ached even more: "Could it be because of you?"

"Not too stupid."

Gu Bin patted him on the shoulder in affirmation.

"Damn it, you bastard!"

Qu Peng slapped his hand away impatiently and complained, "You're really full of bad intentions. You know they had a conflict because of you, but you pretended nothing happened and just watched the show from the sidelines."

"It's best for her if I don't get involved."

Gu Bin gave him another look, as if he were an idiot: "You're still not convinced that you have low emotional intelligence. If I were to really help her and openly oppose Gu Xiaoqian, I would be putting her in a real predicament."

"Uh."

Qu Peng choked, speechless.

"Tsk, tsk."

Seeing Qu Peng constantly getting the short end of the stick, Li Liang couldn't stand it anymore. He clicked his tongue twice and spoke up for him: "Since you're so concerned for her and think you're protecting her, why can't you hold back and flirt in public now?"

Actually, I didn't want to either.

Gu Bin ignored his provocation and was about to explain when he suddenly narrowed his eyes and glanced behind him.

"Don't want to do anything? Tell me!"

Li Liang was a bit slow to react and didn't notice anything unusual about him.

"Making documentaries may seem glamorous, but it's not as wonderful as it appears on the surface."

Gu Bin then changed the subject, expressing his concerns with utmost seriousness: "For naive girls, this society is too complicated. The prettier they are, the more likely they are to be coveted. Without anyone to protect them, they are likely to suffer losses."

You're worried.

Li Liang's heart skipped a beat: "Will someone with ill intentions harass her?"

"Yes."

Gu Bin straightened his back and solemnly declared, "That's why I did this on purpose, to let everyone know that she and I have a close relationship, so that those scheming villains will be wary."

“Because of your grandfather’s reputation, no one dares to touch her.”

Li Liang believed it, and the way he looked at Gu Bin changed; it was no longer provocative and aggressive.

"Brother Bin, thank you on behalf of my sister."

A little boy's voice suddenly came from behind him, startling him so much that he stopped breathing and almost jumped up from the ground.

"Xiao Yi." Gu Bin pushed him away with a look of disgust, and his gaze toward Xu Yi was incredibly kind and friendly: "No need to thank me, Brother Bin really likes you and your sister. We are both men, and we have an obligation to protect your sister, right?"

"Correct!"

Upon hearing the word "man," Xu Yi subconsciously straightened his back to make himself appear taller and more imposing.

"Have you learned it?"

Gu Bin bent down, affectionately ruffled his little head, and coaxed him in a tone that sounded like a child: "Want to swim a little longer? I'll teach you."

"Okay."

Xu Yi's eyes lit up.

"Let's go."

Gu Bin smiled and strode towards the pool with his long legs.

"Aww, time for swimming!"

Xu Yi was like a carefree little colt, happily frolicking around him.

"Holy crap, this guy."

Li Liang looked completely bewildered: "Why do I feel like I've been tricked by him again?"

"Remove the word 'feeling'."

Qu Peng gave him a sympathetic look: "He did it on purpose, using your words to flatter himself, gain favor with his younger brother, and curry favor with his older sister."

Li Liang gritted his teeth.

This guy is shameless.

No. 9 Donghua Street.

My uncle came out of the noodle workshop and discussed buying a house with the family.

"39,000?!"

When her aunt heard that it would cost more than 3 yuan, her face turned pale: "Where would we get that much money? We can't afford it."

"You and your younger brother don't usually have many expenses."

The aunt's eyes darkened, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction: "The money we spend on food and drink comes from Mom's retirement pension. How could she not have saved a single penny?"
