“I’m not. I’m not.” Facing his sister, Chen Haoguo, who was usually quiet, could not find any words to explain to Chen Meng’er.
“I know you love me like a sister. You just don’t want to trouble me. But when I have time, I’m really happy for you to trouble me. Really,” Chen Meng’er looked at Chen Haoguo and said very sincerely. “Sometimes, being needed by your family is also a kind of happiness. I don’t want you to be bullied in the academy, or in other places, or encounter any difficult things in the future. I hope you can talk to me and our parents properly. In fact, sometimes, the more silent you are, the more worried we are.”
Chen Haoguo fell into silence after hearing Chen Meng’er’s words. He had always thought that not bothering his family and burying all the hardships he faced in the bottom of his heart was the best choice for them. But now, it seemed that it wasn’t the case. The more he didn’t say anything, the more it made people worry.
“Meng’er, I got it. I won’t do it again in the future.”
Only then did Chen Haoguo realize that he had been hiding in his own corner previously. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t get out.
Now that he had thought things through, Chen Haoguo suddenly felt relieved. “Enough, I have thought things through. It’s getting late. You should go back early. I have a vacation this week. When you go home, let’s have a good family reunion.”
“Yes! When the time comes, you must remember to bring me delicious snacks. You owe me for that last time.” Chen Meng’er saw that Chen Haoguo had really thought it through, and she also heaved a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Chen Haoguo would always be stuck in a dead end and unwilling to come out.
Chen Meng’er was so worried because of Chen Haoguo’s temper and personality.
If it was Chen Haoxuan, Chen Meng’er wouldn’t even bother. Chen Haoxuan wasn’t like this.

When Chen Meng’er returned to the Green Gang, the sky had already darkened. When she saw that the few cars parked at the gate of the Green Gang were not there, she heaved a sigh of relief.
What she was most afraid of now was facing Chen Ming.
Although Chen Ming acted the same as before in front of her, as if the incident of him confessing to her had never happened, when Chen Meng’er faced Chen Ming, she felt very awkward.
She really didn’t know what kind of expression and attitude she should use to face Chen Ming.
Chen Meng’er heaved a sigh of relief because she didn’t have to face Chen Ming. However, she didn’t know that someone was waiting for her.
At the military academy, Zhou Yunjie had originally come back with Chen Meng’er. However, before he drove, Chen Meng’er suddenly said that she had something to say to Chen Haoguo, and asked him to drive her father back.
After sending Chen Ping back, Zhou Yunjie’s mind kept replaying the words that Su Jin had said to him today. “Yunjie, we’ve known each other for so many years. It’s been more than ten years since we were brought back from the orphanage. I’ve seen your feelings for the little miss. I only said this to you today because I treat you as a brother.”
“Yuniie, I know what you’re thinking. You’re afraid that if the little miss finds out about your feelings for her, she won’t let you stay by her side. It’s precisely because I know what you’re thinking that I’ve been pretending to ignore your feelings for the little miss. However, things are different now. If I’m not wrong, she already knows about about your feelings for her. You should have felt it yourself. In the past, Little Miss would look for you for anything. However, during this period of time, Little Miss avoids you and looks for me instead. Yunjie, think about it yourself. How exactly do you treat your feelings for Little Miss? Do you choose to continue hiding your feelings for Little Miss and silently stay by Little Miss’s side, or do you choose to boldly say your feelings for Little Miss? This is all up to you. And Yunbo and I will stand on your side. Actually, compared to Yuwen Jing, I hope that the person who will eventually marry the little miss will be you.”
This was the first time that Zhou Yunjie had something that made him feel troubled. The car stopped at the entrance of the Green Gang. He sat in the car for a long time and did not get out. This was because he did not know which step to take.
Zhou Yunjie pulled at his hair, which was originally not very long, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. Then, he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
However, when he lit the cigarette with the lighter, he suddenly remembered that Chen Meng’er hated the smell of cigarettes.
Therefore, Zhou Yunjie, who usually had a heavy smoking habit, would change his clothes every time he appeared in front of Chen Meng’er. If he had time, he would also wash his mouth.
Zhou Yunjie got out of the car with a cigarette in his mouth. Then, he lit the cigarette.

Chen Meng’er finished her dinner and walked to her room from the dining room.
Chen Meng’er was quite tired today, so after dinner, she drank tea and chatted with her grandfather and the others, and went straight to her room.
As she walked to her room, Chen Meng’er thought to herself that she would have to go into the space to take a bath in a while to eliminate the fatigue in her whole body.
“Little Miss.” Suddenly, a figure walked out.
The sudden appearance of a figure gave Chen Meng’er, who was not mentally prepared, a small fright. When she saw the person clearly, she patted her chest, she said to Zhou Yunjie, “Oh, it’s you. It’s so late. Why are you standing here without making a sound? It’s quite scary. Phew, fortunately, there’s nothing wrong with my heart. Otherwise, I would have gotten a heart attack.”
