In fact, when Xiao Yang lied to her, he didn't think he could keep it a secret for long. After all, as long as Lin Caiwei came home, everything would be revealed.

Looking back on my thoughts at that time, they were really naive.

However, there is no medicine for regret in this world, and we can only face it calmly when the time comes.

Just as he was hesitating about whether to think of a way to escape, Chen Xuemei placed a box of sliced ​​braised beef in his hands and said, "Yangyang, Caiwei has a cold temper, so you have to be more tolerant of her. If she says something unpleasant, just pretend you didn't hear it. I'll help you teach her a lesson later!"

She had long known that her daughter had a problem with Xiao Yang. Although she was afraid that the girl would show Xiao Yang's displeasure, she also hoped to use this opportunity today to resolve the conflict between the siblings.

After all, we are all family and we still have a long time to spend together. How can it be wrong for a sister to always think about her brother like that?

Of course Xiao Yang understood Chen Xuemei's hidden meaning.

However, he was not surprised. After all, anyone with a brain, knowing what gift the elder sister had given him, would understand her dislike for him.

……

The iron gate of the art troupe compound is slightly mottled due to the wear and tear of time, but it still retains its solemnity. The sign next to the gate is engraved with the eye-catching name of the troupe, highlighting its unique identity.

Walking into the courtyard, you will see several sturdy locust trees growing lushly and casting a cool shade on the ground, as if telling stories of the past.

The rehearsal hall is a spacious Soviet-style building. Bright light streams in from tall windows, illuminating the wooden floor and the large mirrors lining the walls. Though the mirrors are slightly frayed at the edges, they still clearly reflect the dancers' nimble movements and the musicians' focused expressions.

Piano rooms are spread out to one side of the rehearsal hall. These small rooms are filled with a variety of instruments, from pianos to erhu, accordions to gongs and drums. Old sheet music is spread out on the music stand, and the notes seem to dance in the air.

The dormitory area wasn't far away, with several rows of bungalows arranged in an orderly fashion. Green vines covered the exterior walls, and the actors' toiletries and homemade knick-knacks were placed on the windowsills. The occasional laughter and chatter emanating from the houses created a scene brimming with life and energy.

As the group of four was about to go in, they were stopped by a fully armed soldier.

Fortunately, the other party knew Lin Caiyu. He led the four people into the registration room and said politely, "Comrade Caiyu, only two family members can enter at a time. Whichever two of you go in, please fill out the registration form first."

Lin Caiyu was of course aware of this rule. She turned her head to glance at the three people behind her and frowned in embarrassment.

However, before she could speak, Wang Hao snatched the pen and quickly wrote down his name.

After finishing writing, he did not return the pen to Lin Caiyu. Instead, he turned around and looked at Xiao Yang and Ye Tian with scrutiny.

As soon as his eyes fell on Xiao Yang, he frowned - this boy is too good-looking. If he went in with him, how would Sister Caiwei notice him?

After seeing Ye Tian dressed in an old-fashioned way, he felt much more pleasing to the eye. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he handed the pen to Ye Tian: "Let's go in first."

Ye Tian obviously did not expect such a thing to happen, but he did not hesitate. He took the pen and quickly wrote his name on the registration form.

However, Lin Caiyu's face was a little embarrassed, and she said with some dissatisfaction: "Wang Hao, are you too unfamiliar? I am the eldest sister's younger sister. When did it become your turn to make decisions about our family affairs?"

Wang Hao said with a forced smile: "Didn't Aunt Chen say that Sister Caiwei hasn't met her two younger brothers yet? What's wrong with me taking Ye Tian in first?"

Lin Caiyu couldn't help but feel angry: "What about Xiao Yang?"

"How do I know?"

Wang Hao rolled his eyes in annoyance and said impatiently, "I didn't make these rules. Why are you making trouble for me?"

"You--" Lin Caiyu's little face turned red with anger. Before she could say the rest of the words, Wang Hao and Ye Tian walked towards the dormitory area side by side.

Lin Caiyu was so angry that her teeth itched. She said to Xiao Yang, "Yangyang, Wang Hao is so uncultured. Just ignore him. Wait until they come out, and then I'll go in with you."

Xiao Yang waved his hands quickly: "It's okay, it's okay, maybe the elder sister is busy now, and if so many of us go in, it will disturb her..."

Although he said this, Xiao Yang was secretly glad in his heart. If he really met Lin Caiwei, it would be really embarrassing.

Looking at Xiao Yang's handsome face, and feeling his gentleness and understanding, Lin Caiwei couldn't help but feel distressed.

After a moment's hesitation, she smiled and said, "In a few days, I'm going on an outing with my friends. Would you like to come with us?"

Xiao Yang couldn't help but be stunned: "Aren't you taking Ye Tian with you?"

Ye Tian scratched his head awkwardly, lowered his voice and said, "Don't tell Ye Tian that I'm only taking you there."

Xiao Yang immediately felt something was wrong, as if Lin Youyou had taken over his body. "Ye Tian and I live together. If we go out together, he will definitely find out. It would be bad if he misunderstands something."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yang remembered that these two people seemed to have hardly spoken to each other recently.

Moreover, when facing Ye Tian, ​​Lin Caiyu was somewhat embarrassed. It was a far cry from the carefree look she had displayed when they first met.

She seemed to be deliberately avoiding Ye Tian.

Realizing this, Xiao Yang's eyes lit up: "Second sister, did something happen between you and Brother Tian?"

In an instant, Lin Caiyu's face turned even redder, and she waved her hands frantically, "No...no!"

Xiao Yang didn't say anything, just looked at Lin Caiyu meaningfully.

Soon, the second daughter of the Lin family lost her temper. She hesitated and said, "Actually... it was just a misunderstanding. Or... maybe I'm just overthinking it."

Isn't this equivalent to not saying anything?

Despite his inner complaints, Xiao Yang still asked in a teasing tone, "Second sister, just tell me what you want to say. Maybe I can help you analyze it... After all, Brother Tian and I grew up together. I definitely know him better than you do."

Only then did Lin Caiyu sigh and said awkwardly, "Just a few nights ago, Ye Tian came to me with his textbook and wanted to ask me some questions. Originally, I was explaining the knowledge points to him properly, but I always felt that he was intentionally or unintentionally moving towards me. Of course, it's also possible... I'm just too sensitive.

Unexpectedly, the next day, he came to me again and asked me to teach him some knowledge points. Not long after, he put his arm around my waist, which startled me. I immediately slapped his hand and loudly asked him what he was doing...
