Chapter 76
Where Can You Not Get a Girlfriend?
Xie Yue tried his best to skip this topic, and his efforts were rewarded. He managed to dodge the question. Although he really wanted to admit that he wanted to be Ning Qi's grandson-in-law, he didn't know what Ning Shu would think if she heard him. In order not to leave a bad impression on Ning Shu, he decided to say nothing.
After strolling around the hospital with Ning Qi for a while, Xie Yue ran into Hu Liena and Yan, who were rushing to the hospital after finishing their business.
"elder brother!"
Upon seeing Xie Yue, Hu Liena rushed forward without saying a word and hugged him tightly.
Xie Yue's body trembled, and the hand supporting Ning Qi shook involuntarily.
"Nana, Grandpa's still here."
Ning Qi looked at Hu Liena and Xie Yue, and seeing how tightly the girl was hugging Xie Yue, his brows furrowed involuntarily. Brother?
Looking at them from left to right, these two don't look alike at all.
Could this be one of this kid's?
A romantic encounter?!
Ning Qi gasped, then suddenly became unpleasant to talk to. "Kid, who is this girl? Shouldn't you explain?"
Explanation?
Xie Yue blinked several times and explained, "Grandpa, don't misunderstand, this is my younger sister, her name is Hu Liena, and she's also A-Shu's classmate and friend!"
"younger sister?"
Seeing that Hu Liena was still hugging Xie Yue, Ning Qi said seriously, "Of course I know she's your sister. Doesn't she call you brother? What I'm asking is, what is your relationship with her? Is she your little girlfriend?"
Little, little girlfriend??
Yan immediately jumped out, "Senior, Nana and Xieyue are siblings, not boyfriend and girlfriend. Although they don't look alike, they are indeed siblings. Nana looks like their mother, and Xieyue looks like their father. They are twins, a boy and a girl. Please don't misunderstand!"
Twins?!
Ning Qi asked suspiciously, "Really?"
"Of course it's true!" Hu Liena released Xie Yue, looked at Ning Qi, and frowned. "I'm his younger sister!"
What kind of eyesight does this old man have, to doubt her and her brother?
And, her brother calls him grandpa?
"Brother, who is he?" Hu Liena asked, looking at Xie Yue.
Xie Yue sighed and said, "He is A-Shu's grandfather, Ning Qi."
"A-Shu's grandfather?!" Hu Liena's eyes widened suddenly, and she quickly apologized for her earlier rudeness. "Grandpa Ning, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to speak to you like that. Please forgive me!"
"It's Ning Shu's grandfather?" Yan also bowed, "Hello, Grandpa Ning!"
Seeing the two people's attitudes completely change, Ning Qi was still a little stunned. "Are they really A-Shu's friends? Are you his sister?"
Ning Qi pointed at Hu Liena, then at Xie Yue.
Hu Liena nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I really am his sister, his biological sister, absolutely no mistake!"
After saying that, fearing Ning Qi might misunderstand, Hu Liena added, "I've already decided in my heart that A-Shu is my future sister-in-law. My brother likes A-Shu. Grandpa, why don't you play matchmaker? My brother and I would be eternally grateful to you!"
"Nana!" Xie Yue frowned involuntarily.
Ning Qi's eyes lit up upon hearing Hu Liena's words. "You also think this kid likes our Shu'er, right?!"
"Of course!" Hu Liena replied. "Don't I know what kind of person my brother is? He practically wears his affection on his sleeve!"
"That's what I think too! From the first moment I saw this lad, I felt that he had some special feelings for our Shu'er. I just asked him if he would be my grandson-in-law, and he hesitated. It's obvious that he's just pretending to be reserved!" Ning Qi got excited when it came to gossip. The old man immediately let go of Xie Yue's hand and pulled Hu Liena aside to whisper to each other. Although, not a single word of their whisper reached Xie Yue and Yan's ears.
"Nana, Grandpa Ning!" Xie Yue called out helplessly, but this did nothing to disturb their gossip exchange.
Grandson-in-law!!!
Hu Liena turned to look at Xie Yue, her expression seemingly saying that Xie Yue was useless and didn't seize the opportunity.
"Grandpa Ning, my brother likes A-Shu, but we don't know if A-Shu likes him back. We can't be sure. Maybe my brother is afraid of upsetting A-Shu. After all, this is between A-Shu and my brother. If A-Shu doesn't like my brother, she can't say it so easily."
Hu Liena knew what Xie Yue was thinking. There were some things that Xie Yue couldn't say himself, so he could just let his younger sister say them. She was the best at helping out!
"Hey! I knew this kid was just pretending to be reserved!"
Ning Qi snorted, "Little girl, you don't know, I've never seen Shu'er accompany any man to the hospital, and she's always taken good care of him. From the beginning, I thought Shu'er had feelings for this guy, but I wasn't really sure. You've been with her for so long, and you're still not sure about this?"
Hu Liena listened and shook her head. "I'm not sure, because we haven't known A-Shu for very long, and she never talks to me about romantic relationships. But she and my brother seem to have a good rapport. However, Grandpa Ning, the reason A-Shu accompanied my brother this time is because he got injured for her, it's not for any romantic reason!"
Because Xie Yue was injured for her sake?
Ning Qi hesitated for a moment, then realized, "Oh, I see."
No wonder.
Ning Shu would speak like that.
"But it's not a big deal, little girl. You must like Shuer a lot too, right?"
Judging from the tone of Hu Liena's voice when she mentioned Ning Shu, Hu Liena also likes Ning Shu quite a bit. Moreover, Ning Qi thinks that Hu Liena should be a good helper. Maybe with Hu Liena's help, Ning Shu and Xie Yue can get together sooner?
Hu Liena nodded. "I like her, of course I like her. I've liked A-Shu ever since I first met her. Although it was because of my brother, after spending some time with her, I genuinely like her. She's a good person, it's just that she's met a group of people who don't know how to appreciate her."
"You also know people from Shrek Academy?" Ning Qi asked.
"Yes, I know," Hu Liena said. "A-Shu said she had a very bad time at Shrek Academy. They just bullied her. A-Shu should have come to Martial Soul Academy sooner. We all like A-Shu very much!"
"Hahaha!" Ning Qi laughed. "It's good that you like her. She hasn't had many friends since that incident. It's a very good thing for her that you two can become her friends. She's usually very quiet, and I had to send someone to keep an eye on her to find out what happened. Now that you two are her friends, I feel much more at ease. Little girl, actually, I think highly of your brother, but he needs to be more proactive. As long as he's sincere, there's no girlfriend he can't win over, don't you think?"
