Chapter 183: Kiss Him (1/2)

Cheng Xi had built up quite a bit of repressed anger over these last two days, so regardless of how good her temper was, she became vexed upon hearing Lu Chenming’s offensive words. She squinted at him, smiled, and calmly asked, “You like my brother?”

Without saying another word, she dragged him outside by his collar.

“Aaaaa! Where are you ta- ta- taking me?”

“To see the person you like.”

Cheng Xi decisively dragged Lu Chenming all the way back to her place. Cheng Yang was slated to return home today, and the news of her suspension from work made him rush over to her place immediately.

Cheng Yang got home faster than Cheng Xi had expected, and he was already waiting outside when Cheng Xi arrived, with Lu Chenming in tow. However, he couldn’t get inside as he wasn’t able to get past Mr. Lu’s security measures, and was thus forced to stand outside the door and glare and curse at the lock.

When he saw the two of them, he didn’t even greet Lu Chenming. Instead, the first thing he said was, “Give me the passcode, or even the key to that apartment next door. Can’t you at least do that?”

Cheng Xi ignored his request and opened the door.

Only then did Cheng Yang glance at Lu Chenming. “Oh, not bad. You’re willing to walk with my sister now?”

Lu Chenming’s face was sullen.

Cheng Yang slung his arm around Lu Chenming’s neck. “Hey, since we’re getting along so well, tell me this. If I fight your brother, would you help me or him?”

Lu Chenming’s sullen expression morphed into shock, though his expression looked a bit funny.

It was so funny that Cheng Yang even started laughing, and was about to say something when Cheng Xi suddenly turned around. “If you guys get along so well, then why don’t you kiss him?”

“Hmm?”

Before Cheng Yang could figure out what she was saying, Lu Chenming had already…… collapsed into a heap on the floor.

Cheng Xi pointed at Lu Chenming, and then calmly said to Cheng Yang, “He said that he likes you, brother. Shouldn’t you kiss him? Otherwise, you’d be letting him down.”

Cheng Yang was speechless. “……”

“……”

Cheng Yang instinctively recalled the plot of a cheesy drama: the main character had fallen irretrievably in love with his older brother’s girlfriend, which angered the older brother so much that he broke up with his girlfriend. Then, in order to get revenge, the petty older brother even reported his girlfriend to her workplace. The girlfriend, who wanted to keep her job, had then coerced the main character into cooperating with her. She wanted him to officially state that the person he truly liked was his older brother’s ex-girlfriend’s older brother.

Yup, this situation was just as convoluted as a cheesy drama.

But now that Cheng Yang was ‘informed’ about what was going on, he removed the arm looped around Lu Chenming’s neck and looked at Cheng Xi, seriously trying to figure out if he had understood her words correctly.

Cheng Xi nodded.

She nodded.

She actually nodded!

Cheng Yang’s headache intensified even more, but when he recalled his parents’ commands, and then the mutual assistance that he and Cheng Xi had given each other over the years (which wasn’t actually that much), he resolutely said, “I’ll do it!”

He leaned in towards Lu Chenming, about to kiss him.

Lu Chenming was so scared by this turn of events that he turned pale with fright, covered up his mouth surprisingly quickly, and yelled out, “Nononononono-”

Only then did Cheng Xi separate the two of them. She calmly told Cheng Yang, “Brother, go wash up over there. I want to talk with Chenming alone.”

Without waiting for a response, she pushed Cheng Yang out the door, along with his luggage.

Cheng Yang was struck speechless by her actions. “……”

Had his kind and gentle little sister been replaced by an alien?

He rolled up his sleeves and was about to pound on the door when it suddenly opened up. Cheng Xi appeared again, and she handed him a ring of keys. “Go on.”

Her tone had a faint pleaing quality to it.
