Stealing Your Heart Chapter 453
Wen Qing snorted. “Why don’t you learn how to take care of yourself first?”
Soon, they arrived at the barbecue stall next to Yellow Lake. The best part about the stall was that their patrons could barbecue their own food with the provided ingredients. There was also a little forest next to the lake that was great for hanging out and chatting.
They grilled some meat and vegetables and even got a few cans of beer as they sat on the grass, eating and chatting away.
Wen Qing sighed, “This is probably the last of our relaxing days.”
Wen Xian leaned against her brother and shot him a side glance. “How can you be so unambitious. You are supposed to achieve something big.”
“What kind of big achievement do you want me to attain?” Wen Qing looked at his sister.
Without any hesitation, she replied, “Well, I want you to attain the title of a General that will protect the country.”
“Whoa, ambitious, aren’t we? A General?”
Chen Qing was rather quiet that day, and the siblings did most of the talking. All Chen Qing did was looked at Wen Xian when she was talking.
She looked so energetic, innocent and enthusiastic.
“I’ll go and get another two cans of beer.” Wen Qing got up.
With Wen Qing gone, Chen Qing finally got the chance to talk to Wen Xian. “You and Wen Qing seem to have a great relationship.”
With her hand supporting her chin, Wen Xian said, “Well, he is my brother, after all!” Then, as if she were suddenly reminded of something, a blissful look appeared on her face and she said helplessly, “When I was in primary school, nobody dared to be my friend.”
Chen Qing asked curiously, “Why?”
Wen Xian pouted. “Because I have a fierce older brother. I remember when I was in second grade, one of my classmates accidentally pushed me. I fell down and scraped my knee. There was a little bit of blood. When my brother found out about it, he went to beat him up.”
“Your brother went to beat up a kid?” Chen Qing’s jaw dropped.
Wow! overprotective much?
“Yeah, and from then onwards, everyone knew that I had a violent brother in the upper levels, and nobody dared to touch me for fear of my brother.”
Chen Qing laughed.
Wen Xian inched closer to Chen Qing and whispered, “Let me tell you a secret. The reason I picked a school that was further away from home was that I was afraid that he would beat my schoolmates up again and I wouldn’t be able to make any friends.”
Chen Qing burst out in laughter.
“Don’t tell my brother that!”
Chen Qing teased her, “I’m not keeping this secret.”
Looking unwell, Wen Xian put her hand on her stomach. Chen Qing looked at her and said, “I’m just joking with you, of course I won’t tell your brother. Come on, don’t fake a stomachache.”
However, Wen Xian kept holding onto her stomach silently and her face scrunched up in pain.
“Are you really having a stomachache?” Chen Qing asked her.
Wen Xian nodded.
“Let’s go and look for your brother then. Come on.” Chen Qing reached out to pull her up before realizing that there was blood on her pants.
He stopped himself right before he was about to speak. Then, he took off his long-sleeved t-shirt. Wen Xian was shocked upon seeing that. Due to the hot weather, all he had was that shirt. Without it, he was bare-chested.
“You… What are you doing?”
He passed her the shirt and avoided looking at her body before reminding her, “Your body…”
“My body?” Wen Xian turned hesitantly and looked down before realizing that there were bloodstains on her pants.
“You are having ‘that’, aren’t you?”
Wen Xian blushed and looked down. It was her first time.
“There are a lot of people here and it won’t be good for others to see it. Tie this around your waist. It’s not cold anyway.”
Wen Xian hesitated before taking the shirt. “Thank you.”
