Chapter 184 - Is It Funny That the Reincarnated Senior Sister Is Also Being Pursued?

"Cough... Although his heart was deeply moved, when it came to the point, Xiao Cheng Yin felt a bit embarrassed. After all, as an older brother, it was somewhat difficult for him to ask his sister for help in pursuing her friend. But for Bai Lian, he went all out! "Wei Yang, how close are you to Miss Bai Lian?" he asked. "Very close, we have a close sisterly relationship," Xiao Wei Yang replied without hesitation. Leaving aside their complicated relationship in their past lives, in this lifetime, she and Bai Lian had also been intimate in some ways. Of course, she had touched the stockings worn by Bai Lian, which in a sense counted as a form of intimacy. She didn't understand why Xiao Cheng Yin was asking about this. As far as she remembered, her second brother had not been fond of Bai Lian. If she remembered correctly, Xiao Cheng Yin's affection should have been for Mu Xing He, so he quite hostilely viewed Bai Lian as a rival, even going as far as pushing his own sister towards Bai Lian in an attempt to sabotage Bai Lian's relationship with Mu Xing He. Naturally, the result was that the sister suffered while the love interest paid him no mind. In Bai Lian's words, he was the epitome of a textbook loser. Thinking about this, she couldn't help but look at Xiao Cheng Yin with a hint of pity in her eyes. However, seeing Xiao Cheng Yin's blushing appearance, she furrowed her delicate eyebrows and suddenly had a foreboding feeling. Why did this expression feel so familiar? It seemed that in her previous life, whenever he talked about Mu Xing He in front of her, he had this enraptured look. Wait a minute, could it be... "Being close is good, being close is good," Xiao Cheng Yin smiled and said, "Wei Yang, the Crown Prince has fallen in love at first sight with Miss Bai. I want to ask for your help." "Forget it!," before he could finish, Xiao Wei Yang stood up, angry like a wolf robbed of its food. "I treat you as my brother, and you think of pursuing my wife?!" I think your fate is sealed! Oh, no, I'm in the same fate too. Xiao Cheng Yin obviously didn't expect Xiao Wei Yang's reaction to be so intense, and was momentarily shocked. "Wei Yang, why are you saying this?" he said, bewildered. Seeing Xiao Cheng Yin's shocked expression, Xiao Wei Yang realized that her reaction was a bit too extreme. She suddenly felt a bit depressed. In her previous life, she was the Empress ruling the world, holding the lives of countless beings in her hands; her words alone could change the world. But when it came to Bai Lian, she couldn't control her emotions. It was like going back to the days of respecting her teacher and values. She sat down, put on a smile, and decided not to give Xiao Cheng Yin any chance to get close to Bai Lian. "Brother, it's not that sister doesn't want to help you." "It's just..." "Just what?" Xiao Cheng Yin pricked up his ears, listening intently. "It's just that you and Sister Bai are impossible," she said in a deep voice. "Because she doesn't like men." "What.. She doesn't like men? Bai doesn't like men? How is that possible..." Xiao Cheng Yin felt as if thunder had struck, turning him pale. He had considered countless possibilities of fate keeping him and Bai Lian apart, but he never thought their future would be doomed like this. While different interests could be cultivated and varied sexual preferences could be reconciled, how could they handle a difference in sexual orientation? He couldn't just cut himself now and turn into a woman, could he?! At that moment, Bai Lian entered with a young maid and happened to hear the last sentence Xiao Wei Yang said. "What do you mean she doesn't like men?" She heard vaguely and asked in confusion. Xiao Wei Yang immediately rushed into her embrace. "Sister Bai, you're here!" She lifted her head in Bai Lian's arms, completely resembling a little girl. She didn't dare let Bai Lian know what she had just discussed with Xiao Cheng Yin. After all, she had no idea if Bai Lian liked men. Just now, she had said that Bai Lian didn't like men just to make Xiao Cheng Yin give up. If Bai Lian found out that she actually didn't dislike men, the one giving up would be him. Bai Lian looked down at Xiao Wei Yang in her arms and couldn't help but tug at the corner of her mouth. Xiao Wei Yang used to be the powerful Princess Wei Yang, but why did she become so childish after reincarnation? She teasingly ruffled Xiao Wei Yang's head and said, "Alright, Xiao Cheng's here, it's not appropriate to cuddle and hug like this." He should take a look at himself before considering others. You belong to me! Xiao Wei Yang pouted, burying her face in Bai Lian's embrace, seemingly throwing a tantrum, but actually greedily inhaling the faint scent of citrus emanating from Bai Lian. For some reason, this scent made her unable to resist and she wished to bury herself in it all day long. She felt that if she were to ascend the throne again in the future and Bai Lian became the queen, she would surely become the legendary incompetent monarch who indulged in beauty and postponed court sessions... Bai Lian, faced with such a Xiao Wei Yang, looked on with great tenderness. In her previous life, Xiao Wei Yang's situation had actually not been so good by the time she died. Although she was the most beloved princess of the Xia Emperor, even the most favored princess couldn't compare to the heirs in the hands of other imperial sons; she was also surrounded by wolves due to this. The once innocent and lovely little girl was forced to become more indifferent and ruthless due to the power struggles. She wondered how Xiao Wei Yang had survived those years after she died. The more she thought about it, the more she cherished Xiao Wei Yang, as if she could bear with whatever Xiao Wei Yang did. At this moment, the two of them seemed to have returned to their previous lives, with Xiao Wei Yang cuddling in her arms, and she didn't feel angry but rather let Xiao Wei Yang indulge herself. Xiao Cheng Yin, seeing Bai Lian's indulgent expression, became even more dismayed. This scene was a complete affirmation of what Xiao Wei Yang had said. How could these two have such an amicable sisterly relationship? Seeing Xiao Wei Yang's current appearance, she almost seemed to be unwilling to part from Bai Lian! Xiao Cheng Yin was filled with sorrow and indignation. Could it be true that Lian really didn't like men? "By the way, what were you just talking about?" Bai Lian suddenly asked. Xiao Wei Yang's heart immediately tensed. She looked at Bai Lian with annoyance. Damn it, why does she have to dig deeper at this time! Xiao Cheng Yin, on the other hand, brightened up. He knew very well how willful Xiao Wei Yang was, and maybe she had just been playing him before. Until he heard Bai Lian's answer for himself, he wouldn't give up! "Miss Bai, I'm just curious." "You are outstanding, with many suitors, yet you rarely interact with men. Why is that?" Bai Lian was slightly taken aback at hearing this. Glancing at the worried Xiao Wei Yang in her arms, she suddenly understood why she had just pounced into her embrace. It was probably out of fear of hearing an answer she couldn't accept. She smiled softly and said, "Because I don't like men." Suddenly, Xiao Cheng Yin seemed to hear a crack. It was the sound of a young, innocent heart shattering."
