Chapter 1661: Lacking

That was true. This indeed seemed like something his mom was capable of. “Don’t worry. Your second brother may have gotten himself a girlfriend, but he’s still as trustworthy as before. Do you really think that we have it easy in our line of work?” Zhai Yi rubbed his forehead. “Our workload is much heavier than yours at Peking University, and Zhai Xin is quite unlucky that he has a young girl clinging on to him now.”

Zhai Xin was already suffering from being unable to get rid of that girl. How would he dare to touch even just a strand of that young lady’s hair? He would have to take responsibility for that. From then on, Er Bao would not get a chance to dump this young lady for his entire life! “Don’t worry. Zhai Xin takes this matter more seriously than we do. As long as there’s a chance for him to break up with her, he’ll do so immediately.”

Just the thought of Zhai Xin’s girlfriend made Zhai Yi’s head ache too.

Before that young lady had become Zhai Xin’s girlfriend, Zhai Yi had the impression that he had bumped into her in school before.

Zhai Xin was a conscientious student who had no interest in dating in university, so he never paid any attention to girls or anyone his age. Zhai Yi’s standard was even deeper than Zhai Xin’s. Zhai Yi, who had a brilliant memory, had one problem: he could never remember that young lady’s face.

He had only met a young lady a few days ago, but a few days later, Zhai Yi could no longer recognize her. Neither could he recall her name and identity to say hello. Thus, he settled for a slight nod of the head.

Under such circumstances, the fact that Zhai Yi had an impression of Zhai Xin’s young lady meant that Zhai Yi had seen Zhai Xin’s girlfriend quite often, so much so that he had a good impression of her face.

“Zhou Xing.” After hanging up the phone, Zhai Yi wrote down the name ‘Zhou Xing’ in his notebook. This name was not anyone else’s but that of Zhai Xin’s girlfriend.

But after writing down Zhou Xing’s name, Zhai Yi quickly tossed Zhou Xing and Zhai Xin’s matter aside and thought no more about it. Zhou Xing’s name was rather common. Besides, Da Bao was busy working on his homework recently. He was busy enough as it was. How he wished there could be forty-eight hours in a day so that he would not spend all of his precious time on a stranger.

Speaking of the devil, Zhai Xin, who was making Zhai Yu feel extremely despondent at this very moment, was with his girlfriend, Zhou Xing. “Zhai Xin, did you say that your mom gave birth to three children at once? Your mom is amazing! Twins are already so rare, let alone triplets! And she got both sons and a daughter at once! She’s so lucky!” How enviable!

Zhai Xin laughed awkwardly. “My mom is indeed lucky. Alright, it’s not early anymore. I’ll send you back. Otherwise, you won’t be able to go back and will have to spend a night in the hotel. That kind of place is a little unsanitary after all. Try to avoid going to such places if you can.”

The more Zhai Xin said, the more flushed his face got. There was nothing else he meant by that, and neither was he planning on taking advantage of Zhou Xing. He said this only out of concern for Zhou Xing. He was afraid that Zhou Xing would be unable to enter her dormitory if she were to return late. He was not even trying to hint at anything else.

“…” Zhou Xing blushed and looked at Zhai Xin bashfully. “I’m actually a little afraid to stay in a hotel alone. I’ve been timid ever since I was a child. If I really can’t go back and have to stay in a hotel, will you stay with me, Zhai Xin? In such an unfamiliar environment, I’m afraid I won’t be able to fall asleep without a familiar person who’ll reassure me. But Zhai Xin, if you’re by my side, I’m sure I’ll be able to sleep well.”

Zhai Xin blushed but reminded Zhou Xing solemnly. “Zhou Xing, I’m not trying to crack wise, nor am I trying to exaggerate to alarm you. But remember. No matter who your boyfriend is in the future, never ever invite them to sleep in the same room as you. Men are rather impulsive creatures. Letting a young man stay in the same room as you… Uh, it’s not very good for you.”

Even if they did not do anything, in such a situation, everyone would think that Zhou Xing had committed some unspeakable acts with the guy whom she had slept in the same room as. This would be detrimental to a young lady’s reputation.

But when Zhai Xin said this, he had done so from Zhou Xing’s perspective without considering his own problems.

Zhou Xing blushed. “Zhai Xin, you’re so nice to me. Your words show how gentlemanly you truly are. I know that you’re teaching me this so that no one else will take advantage of me. But Zhai Xin, you’re my boyfriend now. I trust you. Anyway, if anything were to happen, will you dislike me for being young and not having a good figure and compare me with other women? I trust you, and I’m willing too. I know you said that for my good, but did you say that also because you don’t like me and don’t want to be ‘with me’?”

After all, Zhai Xin had told her to be careful with any men. Even Zhai Xin himself was no exception.

Zhou Xing had to wonder whether Zhai Xin did not want to be ‘with her’. Otherwise, Zhai Xin should have excluded himself when he had said that earlier.

Er Bao’s flushed face returned to normal, and his gaze became stern. “Zhou Xing, you’re a girl. You shouldn’t say such misleading things. I’m a man too, so I’m included in the scope of men I was talking about earlier. Even if you trust me, you should still be careful unless you’re married. I won’t talk about self-love. My mom always says that it’s all too easy for girls to be taken advantage of.”

Zhou Xing was even younger than San Bao, so he completely treated Zhou Xing as a younger sister. If it was not for Zhou Xing threatening to end her own life, Zhai Xin had not been prepared to end his first love. His original intention was to allow his first love to develop for a while more and only end it once he found a suitable candidate.

But who would have known that a younger sister like Zhou Xing would suddenly show up out of nowhere, ruining his plan? As such, he had no other choice but to end his plan ahead of schedule, even deviating from his life plan.

Zhai Xin took care of Zhou Xing and even took pity on her. But what was lacking was that love between a man and woman. Hearing Zhou Xing talk about ‘sleeping’, Zhai Xin lectured Zhou Xing in the manner that he would lecture Zhai Yu. Actually, Zhai Yu had always been an obedient child. As Zhai Yu’s second brother, Zhai Xin had never had the chance to lecture Zhai Yu like he had just done to Zhou Xing.
