I Have Five Senior Brothers - Chapter 36
Chapter 36: Rejected
Nan Hua and the other two had been traveling for many years, so they did not lack the experience of surviving in the wild. This time, because Gu Qingqing and Jun Wu were following them, they were well prepared. Ever since they had Gu Qingqing, even Si Lin, who was dedicated to the sword, was trained to be a good cook, let alone Nan Hua and the others.
As they were in the wild, they did not have any good conditions. Rong Ye went out to hunt a rabbit and a pheasant. Mu Chen used the sauce he had developed to marinate them before roasting them on the fire.
Not long after, the air was filled with the smell of roasted meat, causing Gu Qingqing to keep staring at the roasted chicken on the rack. Nan Hua and the others found it very funny.
“Qingqing, stop looking. If you keep looking, your saliva will start to flow.” Rong Ye was the worst. He deliberately teased Gu Qingqing. As he spoke, he even used his eyes to look at the corner of Gu Qingqing’s mouth, as if there was really saliva there.
Gu Qingqing subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth. When she realized that there was nothing there, she could not help but glare at Rong Ye.
“Haha, Qingqing, you’re too cute!” Rong Ye did not expect Gu Qingqing to actually touch the corner of her mouth. He immediately laughed uncontrollably.
Gu Qingqing snorted coldly and turned around to ignore Rong Ye.
“Qingqing?” Rong Ye laughed for a while and realized that Gu Qingqing had turned her head away without looking at him. Knowing that Gu Qingqing was angry, he quickly ran to Gu Qingqing’s side and tugged at Gu Qingqing’s clothes like a little wife. “Qingqing? Don’t be angry, senior brother was just joking with you!”
Seeing that Gu Qingqing had turned her head to the other side and still ignored him, Rong Ye’s eyes flashed with a trace of annoyance. He was a little angry at his own insolence.
“Qingqing, senior brother really did not mean to mock you. Senior brother was just playing with you. Don’t be angry. Senior brother promises that I will never tease you again!” Rong Ye forced his face in front of Gu Qingqing. He was just short of swearing to the heavens so that Gu Qingqing would believe him.
Gu Qingqing stared at Rong Ye steadily until Rong Ye’s forehead was covered in sweat. Suddenly, she laughed.
She pointed at Rong Ye and laughed very happily.
Rong Ye was stunned for a moment. He realized that he had been tricked by Gu Qing Qing. He was a little speechless and looked at Gu Qing Qing who was laughing so hard that she was rolling back and forth.
“Alright, as long as you are happy!” He had no choice. After all, this was his little junior sister. What else could he do? Pamper her!
Nan Hua and the others were watching the show while Rong Ye was talking. At this moment, they could not help but smile.
“It smells so good. Can you give us some of your barbecued meat?” A clear voice suddenly sounded. A woman appeared beside Gu Qingqing and the others.
It was already night. The moonlight was not very good tonight, but Gu Qingqing and the others had a bonfire, so they could barely see the woman’s appearance.
The woman was wearing a gorgeous traditional dress. The hairpin on her hair shone faintly under the moonlight. It was obvious that it was not cheap. The woman’s figure was exquisite, and her looks were beautiful. She was a great beauty.
Nan Hua and the others had already noticed the woman when she came over, but they did not know what she was going to do, so they did not stop her. At this moment, they appeared very calm in the face of the woman’s appearance. Only Gu Qingqing was very surprised.
Gu Qingqing was naturally fond of beauties. Otherwise, she would not have decided to save Rong Ye after seeing his face. Now that she saw the woman, she was also quite curious. However, she could not speak, so she could only stare at the woman with wide eyes and curiosity.
“Miss, I’m sorry. This is made for my junior sister. I can’t share it with others.” When facing a beauty, usually Nan Hua would appear generous. After all, his appearance was still very attractive to a woman. But though he looked elegant at this moment, the words he said did not match his appearance.
The woman, Nalan Qing’s eyes lit up when she saw Nan Hua. However, when she heard Nan Hua’s words, the smile on her face froze.
As the fourth daughter of the Nalan family, Nalan Qing was very talented. Although the Nalan family only valued men, Nalan Qing’s status was not low either. Her looks were outstanding. Ever since she had grown up, there had been countless people chasing after her. This made her absolutely confident in her appearance.
When she first discovered this group of people, she did not want to pay attention to them. However, she used the bonfire to see the faces of the three people and their carriage clearly. She felt that Nan Hua and the others should have a high status, so she thought of making friends with them.
Before she came, she thought that Nan Hua and the others would definitely not reject her. Who knew that Nan Hua looked like a philandering young master, but his words were so unromantic.
“Young master, I am willing to use spirit coins to exchange. I wonder if you can give us some barbecued meat?” Nalan Qing was not the type to easily admit defeat. Although she was rejected by Nan Hua, it aroused the desire for victory in her heart. She wanted to get closer to the person in front of her even more. Then, she would make the other party fall in love with her. She enjoyed this feeling very much.
“Don’t you understand human language? My senior brother has already said that we don’t want to share it with you!” Rong Ye was not so polite to the woman. He looked at Nalan Qing with a gaze that was almost undisguised. He looked very annoyed, and his tone was not any better.
Hearing this, the expression on Nalan Qing’s face froze again.
If not for her many years of cultivation making her hold back the profanity on the tip of her tongue, she might have scolded Rong Ye to death!
“In that case, it’s my fault for disturbing you. I’ll take my leave now!” She forced a smile on her face and said with a stiff expression. She glanced at Nan Hua and the others and realized that no one was paying attention to her. She clenched her fists by her side and took a deep breath, then turned around and left.
The dried branches on the ground creaked under her feet. It was obvious that she was very angry, but Nan Hua and the others did not even look at her.
Nan Hua, who was the only one who was more interested in women, ignored her, let alone Mu Chen and Rong Ye who were not interested in women.
“How strange! Third brother, you did not flirt with women today!” Rong Ye did not let go of the opportunity to discredit Nan Hua in front of Gu Qingqing. After Nalan Qing left, he said sarcastically.
Nan Hua first glanced at Gu Qingqing. Seeing that Gu Qingqing was also looking at him, the corner of his lips twitched. “I’m not a flirt. I’ve seen too many women like this. I’m not interested in them anymore.”
Nan Hua glanced at Rong Ye with warning in his eyes.
Although Rong Ye wanted to pretend that he did not see Nan Hua’s warning, he could not beat Nan Hua. He could only shrug his shoulders. “That’s a pity. That woman is obviously very interested in you.”
Nan Hua ignored Rong Ye’s words. Seeing that Gu Qingqing was still staring at him with her eyes wide open, he patted her head. “The roast meat is ready. Hurry up and eat.”
As he spoke, he picked up the roast meat from the rack, cut a piece with a knife, and placed it into the bowl in Gu Qingqing’s arms. Gu Qingqing immediately put her attention to the bowl and threw aside the gossip about Nalan Qing and Nan Hua.
Nalan Qing, who had been mercilessly rejected by Nan Hua and the others, returned to her own camp and was greeted with an inquiry from her younger sister, Nalan Xin.
