Chapter 227 Who is Bigger and Who is Smaller
Chapter 227 Who is Bigger and Who is Smaller
Yan Qi was about to ask where the others had gone, but Laura was surprised to see her back: "Junior sister, you're back! We haven't even started eating yet."
Laura didn't answer immediately. After putting a few shopping bags aside, she slowly walked to Yan Qi's side. Her round eyes scanned him from head to toe like a spotlight, and then she said with satisfaction:
"Your face is really wonderful whether you are a man or a woman. You look quite handsome as a boy."
Then he pointed to a pile of shopping bags next to him.
"Yes, those are the gifts I bought for you. They are all carefully selected by me. You'd better read them and send me a 30,000-word article praising me."
Yan Qi was no longer surprised by Laura's temper. He pulled her down and said, "Okay, sit down first. But why are you the only one back? Where is Brother Qin Guan?"
"Qin Guan?" Yuan Feng picked up his chopsticks and explained, "Didn't I tell you before that he's out on an emergency mission? He can't come back now, so wait until later."
Laura added without any annoyance: "I don't know why he suddenly ran so far..."
Yan Qi curled his lips and smiled faintly: "It seems that Senior Brother is still the same as always, always full of energy. But it doesn't matter, let's have a video call so that he can feel involved."
Regan said with a smile, "He's quite busy with that mission and rarely has time. I'll ask him to find you when he's free later. Now, stop talking and try it."
"Is that so?" Yan Qi's smile did not reach her eyes. Looking at the smiling faces of everyone at the table, she always felt a little strange.
My resurrection from the dead is definitely a huge event in the sect. Even if my senior brother can't spare the time to come back, there is no way he can't spare even a few minutes of video call.
Senior brother loves to join in the fun the most, how could he not show up until now?
Yan Qi lowered her head to eat her meal when a piece of fish was put into the bowl, interrupting her thoughts. Ji Li said calmly:
"Why are you just eating rice? The teacher's steamed deep-sea fish tastes great too."
"Yes." Laura also picked up a piece, "This fish is steamed and the meat is very fresh and sweet."
Yan Qi looked at her and smiled, with a deep meaning in his eyes. After eating the fish, he praised her vigorously:
"It tastes really good. The teacher's cooking skills are really great. I guess I have to eat more!"
"I'm glad you like it!" Regan was very pleased: "If you like it, I will make it for you every day."
Yuan Feng also agreed: "Yes, as long as you like it, there are also these dishes, you can try them too."
"Yes, try more."
"Okay, okay." Yan Qi smiled, but his eyes darkened.
Sure enough, there was a problem. They just wanted to distract themselves. Even their senior sister didn't stop them from praising the teacher.
However, Yan Qi was not worried that they would harm her, but they were definitely hiding something from her.
Laura seemed to be in a good mood from the moment she entered the door. She kept picking up food for Yan Qi and called her Xiao Qi affectionately.
Before Yan Qi could react, Regan patiently corrected him:
"Why call her Xiaoqi? She's your senior sister."
"Senior sister?" Laura put down her chopsticks, looking disapproving. "But she is younger than me now. I am the third oldest among my fellow disciples."
Regan obviously disagreed with her and patiently explained:
"Something unexpected happened. Just like a teacher is a father for life. The same goes for the ranking between siblings. So no matter what, you still have to call her Senior Sister."
Laura was furious. She was not the youngest after all, so how could she accept such words?
"But I'm older than her! Why should I call her Senior Sister? Why are you always biased? I'm older than her, she should call me Senior Sister now!"
"Is that reasonable?" Li Gan glared angrily, puffing his beard. "Even if Xiao Qi has changed her body, as long as she comes back, she will still be your senior sister! How can you look at her current age!"
Laura's eyes widened like a cat with its fur standing on end:
"If we don't look at the present, then she wasn't necessarily older than me before! Yan Qi doesn't even know her birthday, she just knows that she was born the same year as me! Besides, we both joined the sect in the same year, so why is she the senior sister and I the junior sister?! What gives you the right to assume that I'm younger than her?! You're just biased, you want me to be the youngest, and everyone wants me to be obedient!"
As he spoke, a series of sharp whistles filled the whole room.
Yan Qi paused, his hand stilled, a smile tinged with hurt on his handsome face. It seemed this old memory had been inexplicably triggered again. The days ahead would be filled with mystery. After all, no one knew how long Junior Sister would continue to stir up trouble this time.
This was not Yan Qi's pessimistic thought, but this issue had been discussed at least 1000 times in the sect. She just didn't expect that after so many years, she would have to face it again when she came back.
Regan was furious and pointed at Laura and said:
"You're such a petty person. You say your senior sister has a bad temper, but you're actually even more so! You even say you just want to be obedient, but when have you ever listened to us? Every time I send out some rewards or red envelopes, I don't dare to send them unless you come back! It's Xiaoqi's first day back, and you're arguing about this again. What else do you want?"
"It's not fair!" Laura immediately retorted loudly: "Besides, Yan Qi is finally younger than me this time. What's wrong with letting me be the senior sister? I can only obey your rules. She is the senior sister, so I can't be one? Fine, fine, you were partial before, and you are partial now. You are partial!"
"You all are targeting me. I'm leaving now! I'm never coming back!"
Laura became more and more excited as she spoke, and was about to pick up her clothes and go outside. At this moment, Yuan Feng finally couldn't bear it anymore. She could no longer stay out of it, so she pulled her back, her wine-red eyes about to spit fire, and asked:
"Junior Sister, what are you doing? There are other people here today! You always want to run away when things don't go your way. How can you mess up the order? Besides, although you and Xiao Qi were born in the same year, your birthday is in December! No matter how you look at it, it's much more likely that Xiao Qi is older than you!"
Upon hearing this, Yan Qi immediately added, "And not only were you born in December, but you were also born at the end of December. Under these circumstances, it's difficult for me to be younger than you."
Laura's face twisted for a moment, and she retorted as if she couldn't accept it: "That doesn't guarantee that you are older than me. It's unfair for you to treat me like this. It means no one loves me!" After that, she sadly broke free from Yuan Feng's hand and rushed out.
Yuan Feng: ...
Regan: ...
Yan Qi was silent for a moment, silently looking at the beautiful woman next to him who was drinking tea as still as a mountain. Even his expression did not change for a moment, and he fell into deep thought again.
Is this the expression management passed down from the hereditary aristocrats?
But Yan Qi felt relieved. Adding some quiet members to the family and combining movement and stillness would help stabilize the family.
