Wen Shangcheng was weak, pitiful, and helpless. He looked pitifully at Shang Qi, "Third Brother, if you don't comfort me, fine, but don't pour cold water on me. My heart is cold and bruised."
What was his fault?
He was just a little brother who longed for his brother's care and embrace.
Shang Qi could hear his thoughts. Without looking at him, he coldly said to Wen Shangcheng, "My love is only for Third Sister-in-law."
The unspoken meaning:
Not a penny for anyone else.
Wen Shangcheng: "..."
It had to be his Third Brother. If anyone else had said that, he would have kicked them away long ago.
Wen Shangcheng looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. Of all his brothers, he feared Third Brother the most.
There was nothing he could do. The shadow cast in his childhood was too great, and he was still afraid even now.
Su Ling looked at Peng Yansheng, who was eyeing Wen Shangcheng menacingly, and then at Wen Shangcheng, who was seeking comfort beside Shang Qi. "What did you do to Peng Yansheng? You have him looking at you like that, as if he's afraid you'll run away. Did you owe him a love debt?"
Su Ling wasn't very humorous, but her serious and humorous demeanor was very cute.
"Love, love debt?" Wen Shangcheng looked at Su Ling, his eyes full of disbelief, and his speech became incoherent. "Third Sister-in-law, who taught you to talk like that? I'm a real man, I don't like men."
As he spoke, Wen Shangcheng seemed very agitated.
Shang Qi gave him a look, and his spirit weakened. He didn't dare to speak too loudly to Su Ling. "Third Sister-in-law, I like women."
"Oh." Su Ling said "oh" and nothing more.
Wen Shangcheng: "???"
Seeing that Su Ling had stopped talking, and Wen Shangcheng being a chatterbox, he wanted to find someone to talk to and vent his dissatisfaction. He then said to Su Ling, with Shang Qi between them, "I don't owe him a love debt. I just blew up their base and killed his uncle."
"He chased me all the way to seek revenge. But because his strength was too weak, he could only conserve his energy and wait for the right time. I can't let him kill me, so I have to keep getting stronger."
Hearing this, Su Ling raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Wen Shangcheng. "Which base?"
"The one in Lucheng." Wen Shangcheng answered naturally.
When Su Ling heard this, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and then she said, to his utmost annoyance, "Then you're really unlucky, offering yourself up to be a scapegoat."
"Ah?" Wen Shangcheng blinked and looked at Su Ling, completely confused. "Third Sister-in-law, what do you mean by that?"
Su Ling looked at Wen Shangcheng, completely unfazed by adding another wound to her 'brother's' bruised heart. "Your Third Brother and I were planning to leave Haisheng Island after the hail stopped and go to the Lucheng base to replace the base leader."
This was phrased elegantly, but everyone understood.
To say "replace" was, in fact, just a slaughter.
If there was resistance or conflict, it would be a fight to the death.
After Su Ling finished speaking, she twisted her neck to loosen her muscles and then said to Wen Shangcheng, "You coming here is fine, but you even sent us such a big gift. You're too polite, thank you."
Wen Shangcheng felt like dying. So, all along, he was the scapegoat himself.
Wuwu, his Third Sister-in-law's serious way of bullying people was really infuriating.
But what could he do? She was Third Brother's darling, and also his Third Sister-in-law. He didn't dare to be angry.
Wuwu, he really wanted to cry.
Thinking of this, Wen Shangcheng turned around and saw Peng Yansheng looking at him. He then walked towards him.
Seeing Wen Shangcheng return, Peng Yansheng was about to speak when the former interrupted, "Let me lean on your shoulder."
Before Wen Shangcheng finished speaking, he didn't give Peng Yansheng any time to consider. He lowered his head and leaned on his shoulder.
Wuwu, his life was too hard!
Peng Yansheng: "..."
