Chapter 4 I Treat Him as My Brother
"I couldn't accept sister-brother relationships before, but Qin Qi broke my old ideas. Brothers are so cute!"
After hearing this, Kong Nanzhu felt a subtle electric current in his heart, and whispered, "Sister-brother love is not good. He is only sixteen years old, which is a bit far behind."
Xu Qingqing was immersed in her world of infatuation and didn't notice her abnormality. "What's the big deal? My dad is four years older than my mom. Thirty years ago, my mom was in the sixth grade and my dad was in the third grade."
"This is different." Kong Nanzhu thought about it carefully. It seemed that there was indeed an age difference between parents, but the father was often older.
"A woman three years older than her husband is as rich as a brick. What era is this? A younger man is more attractive. Xiao Qiqi, come of age soon. I will make money, work hard, and run to you."
After hearing this, Kong Nanzhu began to daydream.
A young puppy.
Qin Qi is definitely not a puppy. He was chubby and cute when he was a child, but he always had a wooden face and didn't like to smile. Although he had dimples when he smiled, he was always cold and didn't like to talk.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Kong Nanzhu never told anyone about her relationship with Qin Qi.
Qin Qi followed the crew to carry out promotional activities in some universities in Beijing. He came to Kong Nanzhu's school and asked her to meet him in the lounge.
Xu Qingqing failed to get the ticket for the promotion meeting and was depressed for several days. Kong Nanzhu looked at her friend's sad look and after much hesitation, he finally spoke to Qin Qi, "Xiao Qi, my roommate said she likes you very much. Can I take her to the backstage to meet you?"
Qin Qi replied: Yes.
Kong Nanzhu led Xu Qingqing all the way into the backstage actor lounge of the venue. Xu Qingqing was so excited that she almost fell over on the spot.
In order not to disturb other actors' rest, Qin Qi met them in the dressing room with no one else present.
"Nanzhu, Qin Qi is your brother. You two don't look alike."
Xu Qingqing blushed when she thought of what she had said in the dormitory before, that she wanted to become a rich woman and support Qin Qi.
My roommate took me to chase stars, but I was left with the embarrassment of being a social failure.
The first time Kong Nanzhu saw Qin Qi in a suit, she saw that he looked even more handsome than on the TV screen. The little boy had grown into a shining star under the spotlight. She was a little dazed for a moment.
He has grown taller.
Before I knew it, I was already a head taller than her.
Qin Qi looked at Kong Nanzhu's absent-minded expression, turned his head to the mirror, adjusted his clothes, and asked, "Does it look good?"
"Handsome, very handsome!" Xu Qingqing praised without hesitation.
Qin Qi smiled at him and walked up to Kong Nanzhu. Kong Nanzhu was stunned and didn't say anything. Qin Qi lowered his head to check his outfit again. After making sure there was nothing wrong, he asked again, "Does it look good on me?"
Kong Nanzhu subconsciously took a step back, his heartbeat speeding up for no apparent reason, "It looks good."
Qin Qi stared at her slightly red ears, with .
"Where is the good view?"
Kong Nanzhu raised her head and observed his makeup today. Qin Qi was taller than him and they were close to each other, so she could only look up at him.
Qin Qi pursed his lips, and Kong Nanzhu's bright eyes looked at him, her gaze sweeping across every inch of his face like a furry cat's tail.
"Your eyebrows are beautiful, and the eye makeup is just the right shade. Your nose is already very straight. Next time, you can remind your makeup artist not to darken the shadows on both sides of your nose."
She gave a very sincere evaluation, and only praised him subtly for the one shortcoming she pointed out.
After Kong Nanzhu finished speaking, she realized that she was actually evaluating the work of a professional makeup artist. She felt a little shy for a moment and said, "I was just talking nonsense."
As Kong Nanzhu spoke, Qin Qi stared at her red lips opening and closing.
It looks very soft.
"I think you're right." Qin Qi looked at her with burning eyes. Kong Nanzhu was almost fainted by his gentle smile. "You have a talent for makeup. Would you like to consider learning makeup and becoming my makeup artist in the future?"
A makeup artist?
Qin Qi's lips curled up slightly, "It would be nice if you could help me put on makeup in the future. I don't like others touching my face."
A staff member came to call for them to get on stage. Xu Qingqing took the opportunity to ask for an autographed photo and followed Kong Nanzhu to the front audience seats to wait.
"sister."
When she was about to leave, Qin Qi suddenly called her.
Kong Nanzhu turned around and Qin Qi pointed at his tie which had somehow come undone at his collar, "I can't do it."
The urging staff had already left, so Kong Nanzhu had no choice but to step forward, hook his tie with her slender fingers, and quickly help him tie it up like a twirl of silk.
When Qin Qi was in junior high school, she participated in a school choir performance. The team uniform had a tie, so she specially learned how to tie it.
“So skilled.”
The choir competition was so long ago.
Kong Nanzhu didn't react for a moment: "Huh?"
"Have you ever called anyone else?"
Qin Qi's tone was flat, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"No, I learned it when you were in junior high school. Girls also have clothes that match ties."
Kong Nanzhu explained very naturally. Qin Qi nodded. The coldness that had flashed across his brows disappeared, and he obediently let her help him tidy up his clothes.
Kong Nanzhu looked at his work with satisfaction, and stood on tiptoe to pat Qin Qi on the head, "So handsome."
A faint mark appeared on Qin Qi's lips, but only for a moment.
Qin Qi is quite cute and adorable like this.
Xu Qingqing scratched her head.
Something is wrong.
I can't really put my finger on what's wrong, but it's just wrong.
Their seats were in the first row, which Qin Qi had reserved for them.
While no one else was around, Xu Qingqing asked quietly, "Nanzhu, what kind of brother-sister relationship do you have with him?"
The invisible air wall between the two of them that isolates them from the surroundings makes it feel a bit ambiguous.
The boy's unique hormones that contained the breath of youth caused a subtle chemical reaction when he met her.
Kong Nanzhu was unable to understand the meaning of Xu Qingqing's question for a moment.
She had never told her roommate about her life experience, and couldn’t explain it clearly for a while, “I was adopted by his family.”
Xu Qingqing was stunned and said quickly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else. I didn't know it was like this..."
Kong Nanzhu smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter."
Qin's father and mother were very kind to her, and she was not afraid to mention her family to others.
"So you and Qin Qi grew up together?"
"I guess so. When I first arrived at his house, he was only in fifth grade."
"Oh~" Xu Qingqing's eyes flashed with a meaningful light, "Childhood sweethearts."
Kong Nanzhu's face turned red visibly. "No, no, I treat him as my brother, like my own brother."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kong Nanzhu subconsciously turned her head and found that Qin Qi had been standing in the aisle less than one meter away from them since some time ago, waiting in the dark place, and looking at her intently.
Kong Nanzhu didn't understand why there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
The cell phone rang, Kong Nanzhu opened his eyes, and the bed next to him was empty.
