CHAPTER 636: CHAPTER 625: VICIOUS VILLAIN

"Brother Cheng, what have you been up to lately? I’ve called you several times and you haven’t come out. Everyone thought you had disappeared." Listening to the phone call from Gao Feng, Jiang Cheng looked at the test papers beside him and felt extremely irritated, but since he had already promised Ye Qiu to study hard, he couldn’t go back on his word.

But studying is really annoying!

"What about Han Fei?"

"Brother Han is here, are you looking for him?" Gao Feng said as he handed over the phone.

"What’s up?" Han Fei took the phone and asked.

Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "What rank did you get in the last final exam?"

Han Fei raised an eyebrow: "Why are you asking that? But if I remember correctly, I think it was second place."

"I’m coming to you for tutoring."

On the other end of the phone, Han Fei was silent for a good while, then incredulously asked: "Is this really Jiang Cheng? Could someone have body-swapped with you?"

"It’s you who got body-swapped, where are you guys? I’m coming over."

Han Fei gave an address, then exchanged puzzled looks with Gao Feng.

"If I heard correctly just now, Brother Cheng asked you to tutor him?" Gao Feng looked perplexed.

"You heard right, I heard it too," Mo Ziang added sternly from the side.

Then the three of them stood there dumbfounded, waiting to see if their Brother Cheng had gone mad.

About half an hour later, Jiang Cheng appeared in front of them, looking exhausted and even carrying a huge backpack.

The three of them looked at his backpack in horror, Gao Feng’s hand still trembling: "Brother Cheng, what is this?"

"Books, what else." Jiang Cheng said annoyedly, then staring at Han Fei, "Do you have time? Let’s find a quiet place, I have a few questions I want to ask you."

Han Fei looked at him and after a pause asked, "Are you serious?"

"Yeah."

Gao Feng and Mo Ziang hurriedly followed: "Brother Cheng, have you gone mad? Aren’t you the one who hates studying the most?"

Thinking of Ye Qiu, Jiang Cheng honestly replied, "I promised someone that I would study hard."

"Promised who? It isn’t the person who had you running around buying a dress last time, right?" Gao Feng laughed teasingly, "Brother Cheng, tell us, who is the sister-in-law?"

"Don’t talk nonsense." Jiang Cheng glared at him, "She’s not your sister-in-law, she’s my sister."

"Jiang Miaomiao? You actually made a promise to a little kid?"

"Not her, it’s Ye Qiu."

Ye Qiu? Who’s that? Gao Feng and Mo Ziang looked at each other, completely clueless.

"Is she the stepsister brought in by your stepmother?" Han Fei knew more, then turned to look at Jiang Cheng, when did he start caring so much about a stepsister? Or did his stepsister do something?

"Yeah, that’s her. I promised her to study hard, so don’t come to me for anything other than school-related matters." Jiang Cheng was very low-spirited, initially, it didn’t feel real when he promised Ye Qiu, but sitting down to seriously study made him completely uncomfortable.

"Why did you promise her? Are you moved?" Han Fei frowned, even if there’s no blood relation, he felt his brother’s behavior was quite risky.

"No, I just treat her as a little sister. Don’t ask why. I won’t have inappropriate thoughts." When Jiang Cheng thought about Ye Qiu’s bean sprout-like figure, how could he possibly have feelings for his sister? The two of them were just without familial love, so they were simply keeping each other warm.

In the end, the four of them found a teahouse and booked a private room. Jiang Cheng asked questions, Han Fei answered, while Gao Feng and Mo Ziang, finding it boring, left after a while.

When it was afternoon, Jiang Cheng gathered his books and asked, "Do you have time tomorrow? I still don’t quite understand those physics problems."

Han Fei looked at him with some interest, "Are you really serious, not just fishing for three days and drying the nets for two?"

"I really am serious. My goal is to get into a top university."

"Why don’t you ask your brother? Your eldest brother is not only a level above us but also the top student in the grade." Han Fei asked, implying something.

Jiang Cheng pursed his lips, his face looking a bit ugly: "I realized that my understanding before was wrong. My big brother, he..."

"He’s not as good to you as you imagined, right!" Han Fei continued his words, "I told you before, but you wouldn’t believe me. Was it your stepsister who made you believe it?"

"Yes, she made me realize it, and I’ve also figured some things out myself," Jiang Cheng nodded.

Han Fei breathed a sigh of relief: "It’s good that you figured it out yourself. Your big brother and my big brother, huh..."

He smirked sarcastically and then said very bluntly to Jiang Cheng: "Honestly, if you continued to be confused, I might have had to distance myself from you."

Jiang Cheng gave him a look and said solemnly, "It won’t happen again, I won’t be blind anymore. Thank you, Han Fei."

"We’re brothers, I’m glad you’ve come around."

After Han Fei left, Jiang Cheng went to where Ye Qiu worked. Since Ye Qiu had notified them in advance, he was able to go into the kitchen, seeing Ye Qiu at work for the first time.

Seeing her thin arms lifting a big, heavy pot, he really wanted to run over and take it from her, but he knew it was wrong and might even annoy Ye Qiu, so he forcibly held himself back.

He Jiangnan and the others curiously looked at Ye Qiu’s elder brother, especially his red hair and the ostentatious studded outfit he wore, altogether not looking like a good youth.

"Is there anything I can help with?" Jiang Cheng asked somewhat uncomfortably.

He Jiangnan was about to say there’s no need when Ye Qiu pointed to a box of potatoes and said, "You can wash the vegetables."

Jiang Cheng actually put down his backpack and obediently went to wash the potatoes.

Being tall, he was particularly conspicuous squatting there, and Ah De and Jin couldn’t help but glance his way each time they passed that spot.

After washing the potatoes he washed lotus roots, and after the lotus roots, there were greens and green onions, and he kept busy most of the evening.

"What do you want to eat? I’ll cook it for you." After almost all the guests had left, Ye Qiu asked him.

"Anything is fine." He leaned casually by the door, watching her cook indifferently, like an idle young master.

He Jiangnan, observing him and Ye Qiu’s demeanor, began to doubt whether their family was really impoverished. Could a normal family raise two such outstanding children?

Since the dishes were freshly cooked and there was no limit, Jiang Cheng ate a bit too much that evening, but he felt very satisfied.

When going back, Ye Qiu didn’t ride her small electric scooter but instead joined him on his modified motorcycle, which recorded the slowest ride ever.

"You have a stomach problem, you shouldn’t eat so much in the future," Ye Qiu said softly from behind him.

It took a while before a faint "Hmm" came from him.

When the two entered the living room, the lights brightened instantly. Apart from Jiang Miaomiao, Jiang Hongcai, Luo Sitian, and Jiang Yi were all waiting for them.
