Chapter 87 – Cousin (1) (2/2)

In reality, after being surprised by Ye Lang’s words, she had stood completely immobile outside the gate for a while. Only later did she go back to the gate.

Ye Lang remained silent briefly. “How are your ears like Tigress, able to hear quiet sweet words like these!”

“Of course, women’s ears are all excellent, so, in the future you better not talk behind my back, you can only say some good things, like how I’m beautiful beyond compare.” Ye Lan Yu cheekily replied.

“You really have no shame!” Ye Lang very straightforwardly retorted.

“……, Brat, I’ll teach you a lesson after I get home!!” Ye Lan Yu’s expression dropped, left behind some empty angry words, and left, this time leaving for real.

After a while,

“Little brother….”

An affectionate voice called over, did that cow ye Lan Yu come back once again? No, definitely not, from Ye Lang’s reaction, it could be seen that was not the case.

“Crap, I’m not here!!” Ye Lang immediately jerked his head and ran inside his house and closed the door, he also didn’t forget to give himself away by shouting that he wasn’t here.

“….What an idiot, “I’m not here”, then who replied to me?” A young lady appeared within the courtyard and immediately walked in front of the doors and directly kicked them open……

“Little brat, you dare to pretend you’re not here, if you don’t agree to do what your big sister tells you to this time, big sister will teach you why the flowers are so red!!”

“Why?” Ye Lang’s head poked out and curiously asked. However he quickly came to his senses, he shouldn’t have appeared, at this time he should’ve hidden.

“Think I can’t catch you!” The young lady would definitely not let go of this chance and directly grabbed hold of Ye Lang and pulled him out!

What an idiot, to go as far as asking why!

The young lady truly did not know how to deal with Ye Lang, if he was called stupid, he had so much talent, but if he was called smart, he acted like a fool on the contrary!

“Let go, let go, I can’t promise you anything, you should just go back now!” Ye Lang slapped at the young lady’s hand and struggled.

“Big sister’s problem isn’t that hard, why won’t you agree!!” The young lady released him and unhappily complained. “Not hard? Have mercy cousin, what kind of ideal beauty do you want me to help you create, before talking about whether I’m willing, even if you wanted me to go to your house to work,I can’t make this promise. This kind of undertaking can’t be completed without at least half a year of work!!” Ye Lang said grumpily.

Cousin? That’s right, this young lady was Ye Lang’s cousin, and not from his paternal side, thus she did not possess the air of a young lady of the Ye family.

[TL note: In Chinese, cousin is a different phrase depending on whether the cousin is maternal or paternal, male or female etc. The author uses these to emphasize that the young lady is Ye Lang’s maternal cousin, 表姐 and 堂姐 are used for this purpose.]

Besides, this cousin was not from the Ye Jia’s side, that is to say, she was unrelated to Ye Chengtian, she was not related to anyone on his side of the family, she belonged to Long An Qi’s birth family.

This cousin did not appear suddenly, after several years apart, she had come to visit the Ye family to drop in on Long An Qi. Normally, she would play together with Ye Lang and Ye Lan Yu. She was also a cousin who doted dearly on Ye lang!

And this time, after she heard Ye Lang was able to turn Zhen Xiaoyan into a captivating beauty in a short period of time, she immediately put aside all other matters to immediately ask Ye Lang why he didn’t help her do a bit of makeup, of course, in the process, she could get Ye Lang to help her develop a perfect figure and temperament.

Only, Ye Lang never had much interest towards these matters, completely ignoring this cousin of his!

Why care about her, she was already a hard to find beauty, and her temperament was refined as well, for her to still be greedy and desiring to become more beautiful, how were others supposed to live? And so, Ye Lang firmly opposed this matter!

But then again, there was one major flaw on her body, that was, on her forehead there was along scar. She would always use her bangs or a headband to cover it up and not let it significantly hurt her appearance!

This scar, it seemed it was more or less related to Ye Lang, at the time the two of them were both small, Ye Lang was foolishly running around everywhere, one time he was about to be hit by a carriage, yet he didn’t move or dodge, luckily his cousin was there and saved him, yet she herself received a scar as a result…

Ai, in short, this was a sorrowful memory!

And Ye Lang, apparently had already completely forgotten this event!

Originally, this kind of scar, if it had been left on someone else, it would’ve easily been removed, during treatment, regardless of magic or alchemy, there were methods to avoid scarring, but this cousin’s physique was very strange, regardless of any method, they all had no effect.

This incident also made everyone aware of this cousin’s strange physique, apart from natural healing, other things had no effect on her!

Because of this, after this, she would also be very careful to treat scars and maintain her health, deathly afraid that she would once again end up with untreatable scars!

Perhaps, this scar also caused Ye Lang to recall his feelings for her, but even if that wasn’t the case, they would still remember this scar, these feelings.

[TL note: this sentence is a bit weird, seems kind of contradictory]

Because, the past could not be changed!

And as for whether Ye Lang had really forgotten? Perhaps.
