My Girl and Tenderness

"If you're inviting someone to dinner, you have to let them stay overnight. If you're living with them, you have to take responsibility...right?"

Qin Kong's thick skin could make such a leap forward. Why didn't I see it before? This guy actually has this ability.

I thought that flirting with female classmates during study sessions was enough, but I ended up getting into a big trouble as soon as I graduated from high school.

Mulan turned around again and looked at him with sharp eyes.

He looked away guiltily.

Humph, good brother...

Mulan snorted in her heart. She was obviously very angry just now, but when she heard him say "I won't leave you" and such a familiar and intimate hug, her anger immediately subsided.

All that's left is superficial pretense.

What can I do to him? He has been coaxing me since I was a child, and I know him so well. What is there for me to be reserved about?

Mulan pursed her lips and said——

"You said it, we will always be good brothers, you are never allowed to leave me."

Even if I confess to you...

29. Can you help your husband find a mistress? Really?

Holding Mulan's body, against her tight and elastic back, Qin Kong of course agreed.

"Do I need to repeat myself? I can't leave you. It's really embarrassing to say this. You'd better not ask me next time. You don't know me yet, right?"

"Oh, you're shy... Then I want you to say it more often."

Although Mulan sneered a little, Qin Kong's observation of his good brother over the years showed that Mulan was actually very happy now, and she didn't even feel annoyed by being hugged by him for such a long time.

Isn't it a bit strange to say sweet words to a good brother? But Mulan just likes it. Qin Kong is already quite used to revealing his true feelings to him.

That's why their relationship is getting better and better.

Mulan felt Qin Kong's embrace, her face slightly red, her fair palm resting on his arm, murmuring -

"Just coax me and you can have both my brothers and their wives, right? You're such a greedy man..."

……

They stuck together as they walked, and it took them a long time to get back to the store entrance. They talked about everything along the way and felt relaxed with each other.

It was not until Mulan's sharp eyes saw the virtuous figure busying around in the store that she couldn't help but clench her fists. She felt a little angry again after having just been coaxed.

Qin Kong noticed Mulan's little action and couldn't help scratching his head. It's not like he hasn't felt that his good brother was troublesome before. He always felt that he was more difficult to please than his future girlfriend.

Mulan might have been a girl in her previous life.

Aunt Hong was bending over and sweeping under the table with a broom in her hand. She noticed him coming back, smiled and stood up and said:

"You're back?"

"I am back."

Qin Kong gave a gentle smile, hugged Mulan with one hand and greeted Aunt Hong with the other.

Mulan looked back at him with a silly smile, then became furious again and raised her slender legs to step on him.

"You're laughing like a pig. You're useless."

Aunt Hong was shocked when she saw him hugging a stranger and came back. She patted her apron. This was from Qin Kong’s shop. She walked up to the two of them and said, “Who is…”

"Auntie Hong, let me introduce you."

Qin Kong endured the pain, poked Mulan's pink face with his finger, and said -

"This is my good brother, Mulan."

"Ah, that's the guy."

Aunt Hong immediately understood that the other party was the one who was yelling on the phone. She couldn't help but chuckle. Then she became a little confused and said -

"You are... brothers?"

"Ah, it's not brothers, it just means they have a very good relationship."

“Oh…Is that so…”

Aunt Hong tilted her head and looked at Mulan again, suppressing the doubts in her heart and smiled at her -

"I am sorry for being rude. I didn't expect the customs here to be like this. If we are good friends, we are brothers. 'Others' are not important. It's really interesting."

"!"

Mulan opened her eyes slightly, looking at Aunt Hong's beautiful face, her virtuous response, and her gentle smile that made people feel like spring breeze, but she always felt... as if those red eyes saw through her at a glance.

She couldn't help but raise her hands to quietly cover her chest, and her round thighs felt a little uneasy.

"Come in and sit down. I just cleaned it."

Aunt Hong greeted Mulan warmly, acting like the hostess, which made Mulan feel even more annoyed.

Thinking of the conversation she had just had with Qin Kong.

What? You're back. I'm back...

Still looking shy... newlyweds?

Mulan's eyes became sharper. She followed Aunt Hong in. As soon as she sat down, she picked up the teapot, which was empty. She said with a stern face -

"There's not even any tea. Is this how you entertain guests? Has this place been cleaned? Aren't there still cobwebs on the fan? If you can't do these things well, can you still be considered a hostess?"

"Brothers?"

Seeing Mulan launching an attack, Qin Kong opened his mouth wide. Isn’t this going to be a fight... On one side is a lifelong brother, and on the other side is his blind date. Who should he help?

How come I have experienced the torture of being caught in the middle of a battle between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law in advance...

Mulan now acts like a wicked mother-in-law who makes things difficult for her daughter-in-law.

"that……"

Qin Kong tried to mediate the fight.

But Aunt Hong was not angry at all. Instead, she brightened up after hearing Mulan's words. She lowered her head shyly, glanced at Qin Kong secretly, and said -

"Mistress... something... thank you."

"!?"

Mulan's eyes widened, thinking that she was responding tit for tat, but ended up hitting cotton with her punch. When she heard others say that she was the hostess, Aunt Hong was so happy that she almost lost her mind.

clack clack...

Mulan clenched her fists and made a faint sound, and said through gritted teeth -

"I heard that you are a foreigner, Aunt Hong. Do you know the rules of marriage in our country? Women should obey their husbands, parents-in-law and uncles at home, and be willing to work hard without complaint!"

"Wait? What kind of ancient story is this..."

"you shut up!"

The good brother stepped on Qin Kong again, clearly saying that this is a matter between the two of us, and you, a big and strong man, should stop butting in.

Mulan sneered and said to Aunt Hong:

"In the past, women even had to take the initiative to help their husbands find mistresses to reproduce. This was the model of a good woman. What do you think? It's hard to accept, right? If you're scared, then hurry up..."

"So that's it."

Aunt Hong's expression of "I got it" made her good brother stop talking abruptly.

Mulan opened her beautiful black eyes and said:

"So that's how it is? That's it?"

That's all the reaction? Angry? Disgusted? I thought that foreigners were not familiar with the things here and might think that this country was still as backward as before, so I said these things that ordinary people could not accept to scare her.

"What's wrong?"

However, Aunt Hong didn't show any sign of anger at all, instead she looked a little confused.

Mulan couldn't help but ask -

"After hearing what you just heard, don't you have any thoughts?"

"Have."

Aunt Hong nodded.

It seems to be effective. Mulan breathed a sigh of relief and said -

"What do you think?"

So you're not going to get married after all? Oh, that's all...

However, Aunt Hong's words completely left Mulan speechless. She said -

"It really is best for me to be with him. It's just right."

"???"

Mulan sat in her seat with her mouth wide open, watching the beautiful figure walk to Qin Kong and gently hug his arm.

Aunt Hong looked up and said to him:

"I was worried that you wouldn't be able to accept it... Well, if that's the case, then it's perfect."

"what?"

Qin Kong didn't understand what Aunt Hong was talking about. He just tilted his head. Seeing that she didn't back down even in the face of Mulan's scary words, he felt touched.

He took her hand and said:

"Don't worry, Mulan was just joking with you. That was all a century ago."

"Eh? Is that so?"

"?"

Qin Kong looked at Aunt Hong in front of him. For some reason, she didn't seem relieved. Instead, there was some... regret in her eyes?

30. A man caught between two beauties

Mulan widened his eyes and looked at Aunt Hong holding his hand. Not only did the two of them not separate under his interference, but they became even closer.

A feeling she had never experienced before spread in Mulan's heart, anger and a little sourness.

Da da da……

He kept stomping the ground with his heels, as if he wanted to dig a hole, and couldn't help but say to Qin Kong -

"Is this how you run a store? Do you have any intention of taking care of business by pulling strings there?"

"Ah? No one is coming... I just want to wait for the sales lady to wake up. After she goes back, we will go back too. If you want some tea, I'll make it for you when I get home."

Qin Kong blinked his eyes and looked at Mulan's dark eyes which were always glancing at him holding Aunt Hong's hand. He felt jealous.

I tried to let go of Aunt Hong's hand, and sure enough, Mulan snorted and turned her head away, as if to say - I don't care.

Proud?

My good brother...

Why are you getting cuter and cuter?

It was as if she became a different person after she knew that Aunt Hong was with him. The more she resisted Aunt Hong, the more she seemed to care about him, but she didn't want to admit it. She felt that this was a bit embarrassing, and became more and more anxious.

“…How old-fashioned.”

Qin Kong couldn't help but complain in his heart, what an old-fashioned tsundere, but he liked it a bit old-fashioned, but when this happened to his good brother... he always felt that something was wrong.

Aunt Hong seemed not to notice the atmosphere between the two brothers. She smiled slightly while listening to them talking.

"If that's the reason, why not just try to wake up the sales lady directly."

As she spoke, she came to the sales lady and helped her up. A mysterious light flashed in her red eyes, and she said, as if calling from ancient times:

"wake up."

"!"

The sales lady opened her eyes immediately. There was a hint of fear in her brown eyes, while the rest of her eyes were dull and her whole body was swaying like a doll.
