King of Kings, start with a perfect record and strive for the top spot.

"You little rascal, your dad made some money, wanna go for barbecue?"

Ye Lan raised her leg and kicked Xu Zhiqiang, who was in a daze.

Coming to his senses, Xu Zhiqiang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, of course I'll go."

"Yeah, it's been a bit chilly at night these past few days. Wear a coat and we'll go out."

"Ok."

As Xu Zhiqiang spoke, he went to Ye Lan's wardrobe to find a coat.

He didn't bring a suitcase when he came; he only had a few pairs of socks and underwear in his pockets.

Naturally, I can only wear Ye Lan's coat.

However, the two had grown up like brothers, sharing the same pants, so Ye Lan didn't mind.

Leaving the bedroom and arriving at the main hall, Ye Lan went to Ning Caicai's door and gently knocked.

After a long while, the door finally opened.

Ning Caicai was wearing a pink pajama set with cute strawberries drawn on it, and her exposed skin was as white as snow under the light.

Her hair was naturally disheveled, and she lazily rubbed her sleepy eyes with her left index finger, swaying like a roly-poly toy.

"What are you doing? Is it dawn yet?"

Ning Caicai's voice was very soft and gentle, like a kitten whimpering when it just woke up, full of drowsiness.

Ye Lan looked out from the balcony at the brightly lit skyscrapers.

"it's dark."

"Why did you call me when it's dark?"

"I'm going to get some barbecue with my buddies. Are you hungry? I'll bring you some if you are."

"I'm not hungry, just quite sleepy."

"If there's nothing else, I'm going back to sleep."

Ning Caicai yawned, turned around and went back into the house, closing the door behind her.

Ye Lan turned around and saw Xu Zhiqiang standing in the distance.

I guess they didn't want to be disturbed, so they haven't said anything.

"Let's go, shall we have barbecue or hot pot?"

"Since it's your treat, it doesn't matter what we eat."

"Okay, come with me."

Ye Lan locked the door from the inside and lit a cigarette for herself on her way downstairs.

Xu Zhiqiang leaned closer, squinted, and asked, "How far have things progressed between you and that beautiful woman?"

Ye Lan exhaled a smoke ring and looked at Xu Zhiqiang with a puzzled expression.

Xu Zhiqiang thought Ye Lan was pretending to be stupid, and angrily elbowed her.

"Are we still brothers? It's so unfair to keep something like this a secret."

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Don't play dumb. You two are living together, and you're still so concerned about her. Aren't you dating?"

"Cough cough cough."

Ye Lan was taken aback by Xu Zhiqiang's words.

He truly hadn't expected that Xu Zhiqiang's thinking had gone so skewed.

"We weren't dating; we just had a normal roommate relationship."

Xu Zhiqiang asked suspiciously, "Then why are you so good to her?"

"Because I think she looks a bit like Ye Wanying."

"Your sister?" Xu Zhiqiang raised an eyebrow.

If someone else heard this, they might think that Xu Zhiqiang was cursing Ye Lan.

However, only Ye Lan herself understood the meaning behind Xu Zhiqiang's words.

Ye Wanying is the name of his biological younger sister.

A sweet smile appeared on Ye Lan's face when she mentioned her younger sister.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiqiang promptly shut up, otherwise Ye Lan, who was obsessed with her younger sister, would have listed over a hundred of her sister's good qualities.

The key point is that these advantages are real.

Xu Zhiqiang had been to Ye Lan's house and had naturally seen what his sister looked like.

She is beautiful, has a great figure, excels academically, is virtuous and capable, speaks with a gentle tone, and has a pair of captivating eyes that look stunning when she smiles.

Xu Zhiqiang has pondered this question more than once: How can there be such a perfect girl in the world?

Guess what Ye Lan's answer was?

"Because she's my sister!"

Only Ye Lan could say such shameless things without thinking.

The two arrived at the apartment building, and Ye Lan found a street food stall.

We ordered both hot pot and barbecue.

Xu Zhiqiang kept saying, "Don't order any more, it's too much of a waste," while his mouth was practically stretched to his ears in a grin.

However, Ye Lan wasn't bothered by the loss, compared to today's earnings.

This hot pot and barbecue meal seemed insignificant.

Moreover, you don't have to think too much when eating with your brothers.

If you treat a girl to food from a roadside stall, she'll think you're low-class, tasteless, and not presentable.

But if you treat your brother to roadside barbecue, he'll call you godfather.

The dishes were served quickly. Ye Lan took a bite of the greens and asked:

"Tomorrow is the last day of the weekend, shouldn't you go home?"

"Yes, the ticket is for tomorrow afternoon. I have to leave right after my nap at noon."

"When you get back, stop being a simp and just focus on editing videos for me. Once I've made a lot of money, I'll take you to get a foot massage a couple of times, and you'll discover a whole different world."

Xu Zhiqiang's face was noticeably rosier, even though he hadn't drunk a single drop of wine.

"You said it yourself. If you don't take me with you in the future, don't blame me for turning my back on you."

Xu Zhiqiang raised his wine glass.

When has your dad ever lied to you?

The two clinked glasses and drank their beer in one gulp.

Autumn had arrived, and the night was as black as ink.

A cool breeze suddenly arrived, sweeping in and making pedestrians on the roadside shiver.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two of them chatted and boasted for a while.

It wasn't until almost 9 p.m. that they walked slowly toward the residential area, arm in arm.

Back in his room, Xu Zhiqiang, who couldn't hold his liquor, fell asleep again.

As usual, Ye Lan went to the balcony and lit a cigarette for herself.

Smoking a cigarette, admiring the moon, feeling the cool breeze, and listening to music.

Ye Lan felt an immense sense of peace, as if this was what life should be like.

Just as Ye Lan was engrossed in his thoughts, he felt someone tap his shoulder.

Turning around, Ning Caicai looked at him with a blank, innocent gaze.

"what happened?"

Ye Lan knew that Ning Caicai didn't like the taste of cigarettes, so after taking two puffs, she casually stubbed out the cigarette.

"I'm hungry," Ning Caicai said, looking aggrieved.

"It's no big deal, just order takeout."

It's only a little past nine o'clock, there are definitely still delivery drivers taking orders.

"I don't want takeout, make me some noodles."

???

Ye Lan was so shocked that she froze on the spot.

Big socks, are you speaking Chinese?

He blurted out some outrageous and lewd words!

"No, isn't that inappropriate?" Ye Lan felt her throat was dry and coughed lightly twice.

"I just woke up and I feel weak all over. There are noodles, eggs and vegetables in the fridge. Please, please make me some noodles."

Ning Caicai said in a coquettish tone.

The feeling of a hangover is really unpleasant.

She slept for nearly ten hours today, but still felt dizzy and weak.

She only sought out Ye Lan because she was completely exhausted; otherwise, she could have done such a small thing as noodles by herself.

Upon hearing this, Ye Lan's face darkened.

Love is like noodles!

I thought it was that one!

Ah, Chinese culture is so profound and extensive!

"Didn't you say you weren't hungry when I called you to eat?"

"I'm hungry right now!"

"Wait a minute, I'll make you some noodles."

Ye Lan affectionately ruffled Ning Caicai's hair.

"Uh-huh."

Ning Caicai nodded obediently.
