Chapter 79
Editor: Makoto
Qi Jingye worked overtime today, and it was already dark by the time he left for home, and there were some old ladies sitting under the lights. He couldn’t help but pick up his pace a bit as he thought about his daughter who was going to a new school today.
He didn’t have the ability to protect his sister when something happened to her. He failed as a brother.
Now that his daughter was in distress, as a father, he was still powerless to do anything about it.
Every night when he closed his eyes, all he could think of was the woman who had bullied his sister, openly screaming that a phone call would cost him his job, and remembering how he’d rushed up to fight, only to be held from behind by his sister, who still had a slap mark on her face.
It’s not his fault, it’s not his sister’s fault, and in the end, it was still them, the victims, who had to apologize to the perpetrators.
Since then, Qi Jingye has become one of the hardest workers in the unit. He didn’t have the ability now, but he would work hard and climb to the top.
Until those people couldn’t hurt his loved ones anymore.
Qi Jingye’s eyes showed a hint of warmth as he thought of his wife and sister waiting for him to eat with them.
Just past the corner, Old Lady Jin’s figure appeared in front of Qi Jingye.
He stepped forward, his face turning black before preparing to open his mouth, but then saw the old lady, who always depended on her seniority to be unusually arrogant, look at him as if she had seen a ghost and walked away with the wind in her steps.
Qi Jingye frowned, wondering what the hell was going on with this troublesome elderly lady.
Turning and pushing open the door to his home, he saw his three favorite people in the courtyard, sitting around a handsome man with a smile on his face.
Even if his sister and daughter were fine, what about his wife’s shining look at the guy?
Qi Jingye subconsciously sank his eyes and took a step in.
“A guest?”
Sister-in-law Qi was asking Wei Mingyan for advice on a hundred ways to scare a bully, when she suddenly heard a voice behind her and realized it was her husband coming back. “Jingye, come and see quickly, Jingshu’s boyfriend is here.”
Boyfriend?
Although Qi Jingye was busy, he has been to the school quite a few times, so how could he not recognize the handsome looking fair-skinned man with a gentle smile in front of him as the teacher who taught his daughter?
When did he become Jingshu’s boyfriend?
The man who was originally smiling and chatting with a few people got up somewhat sharply, bringing a bit of nervousness to his eyes, his lips slightly pursed, and bowed slightly in respect, “Hello, I’m Jingshu’s boyfriend, Wei Mingyan.”
The scene was like a large interview scene that made Qi Jingshu’s heart sweet and happy. She tugged on her boyfriend’s arm, feeling his tense body, and whispered, “Mingyan, sit down.”
Respectful and elegant, Qi Jingye looked up and down at the man in front of him, then at his sister, who was all over him, and his wife, who was looking at him with a smile on her face, and coughed. “Teacher Wei is it, right, how old are you this year?”
“Ehh… why are you asking this? Talk nicely, quickly sit down and eat your food, I’ll put your bag down for you. ” Sister-in-law Qi unkindly pinched her husband, acting as if she didn’t already ask about Mingyan’s whole portfolio before.
Qi Jingye sat down and his eyes landed right on Qi Jingshu’s hand holding Wei Mingyan’s.
Are these two already so close in their relationship? They aren’t even married yet, but he’s already taking advantage of his sister.
“Well, Xiao Wei, right? Do you drink?”
Don’t ask questions, just drink.
Wei Mingyan’s eyes flashed with embarrassment, and Qi Jingshu said, “Brother, Mingyan doesn’t drink.”
“Oh, no drinking?”
Qi Jingye tried to control the look on his face so that he wouldn’t show his disdain.
He could tell that this brat looked fair and clean and was a teacher, so he definitely didn’t drink.
It’s the type of thing that’s popular right now, but man, how can you not drink!?
“It’s okay, come on. Meeting Older Brother Jingye today is a good thing. Have a drink.”

Seeing that his girlfriend’s brother wasn’t too happy with the fact that he couldn’t drink, Wei Mingyan even raised his glass and started pouring.
“Okay! Come on, drink!”
As the man in front of him poured himself a drink, Qi Jingye nodded with satisfaction in his heart, not minding that the guy looked like a weak chicken who couldn’t protect his sister anymore.
Wei Mingyan raised his glass under the worried gaze of his lover, his eyes firm. “Cheers.”
Five minutes later, Sister-in-law Qi rummaged through the room again for peanuts intended for the table, and came out of the house, close enough to see the clear back of a man lying on the table.
She froze and looked to her husband who had a smug look on his face and was drinking his own wine. “Mingyan? What’s going on?”
“He’s drunk, I’ll help him to the room and get some sleep.” Qi Jingshu took a little angry look at her brother and gently pushed her lover, “Mingyan, Mingyan…”
“Hmm…”
The fair-skinned man’s cheeks were now two puffs of faint red, and blindly raised his eyes to Qi Jingshu’s startled gaze.
“Jingshu…” the usually crisp and nice voice was now slightly husky, taking on a magnetic quality and sounded different.
Qi Jingshu looked at the drunken man in front of her and couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
It’s a beautiful sight, the first time she saw it.
“Mingyan, you’re drunk, come on, I’ll help you lie down in the room for a while.”
“I, I’m drunk…?”
Wei Mingyan blinked slowly, and Qi Jingshu realized that his eyelashes were long and so innocent, especially now that he was blinking like this.
Literally… literally as clueless as a bunny….
Qi Jingshu had a soft personality and a calm mind. Even when it came to love, it was always Wei Mingyan who took the initiative, but right now, looking at such a tender lover, her face was burning.

If it wasn’t for the fact that her brother and sister-in-law were still watching, she wouldn’t be able to resist touching her boyfriend’s face.
It’s usually so white and clean that it must be nice to touch.
“There are only three rooms, and this guy went to her room to sleep, so how are we going to sleep at night.”
Qi Jingye was happy that he easily drank down Wei Mingyan. But then, in the blink of an eye, it turned to ‘because he was drunk, he had to sleep in their house’?
“I’ll just go and sleep with Jiayu tonight.”
Qi Jingshu replied to her brother’s words, but her unblinking eyes stared straight at Wei Mingyan’s blushingly handsome face.
Why didn’t she notice that Mingyan was so delicate after drinking? It could only be described in two words: very cute.
Qi Jingye just watched the man who had seduced his own sister, being held up and brought into their house with weak steps.
He had known that Jingshu would marry sooner or later, but it was too soon.
He clearly remembered that Jingshu had said that the man she wanted to marry must be a hero like her father, a real man who defended the country.
All these years, he had been diligently searching the ranks for a suitable candidate, but Jingshu had found a teacher who looked like he couldn’t fight at all?
“Mingyan isn’t as weak as you think. I think he’s pretty good.”
Sister-in-law Qi finished cleaning up and saw that her husband was still prattling on and on, so she couldn’t help but smile and help explain for Wei Mingyan. “Besides, Jingshu fell in love with him on her own, could you still find a muscle man for her to shift her feelings to?”
“I’m not talking about replacing him. This, this kid, doesn’t look like he can fight at all.”
“Didn’t we talk about this before? Jingshu is weak and soft, and she has suffered so much since she was a child. We need to find someone who can protect her, but look at him, I think he is even softer than Jingshu. Who is going to protect who in the future!?”
Seeing her man talking endlessly, Sister-in-law Qi rolled her eyes and simply ignored him.
Qi Jingye felt that Wei Mingyan was soft, and that was not because he was Jinshu’s brother, who would be tough on his girlfriend’s brother.

The guy didn’t care at all, and was sound asleep.
Next door, the little girl opened her eyes and turned her back to Qi Jingshu, her voice a little uneasy. “Aunty, are you going to marry Teacher Wei in the future?”
Qi Jingshu was still thinking about her drunken boyfriend, and she didn’t fall asleep, so when she heard her niece ask, she answered, “Yes.”
She really loved this man so much.
Qi Jiayu’s eyelashes trembled nervously, wanting to say something to her aunt, but not daring to.
She still remembered the way Teacher Wei had looked at her before, and it scared her to the bone.
Although the current Teacher Wei was gentle and kind to her, and the way he looked at her now made her feel so warm and comfortable, the way Teacher Wei treated her previously couldn’t be erased from her memory.
The little child was beginning to fear herself in her heart, she thought she was a bad child, obviously Teacher Wei was so nice and treated her well and smiled so beautifully, but sometimes she was just very afraid of Teacher Wei.
With anxiety in her heart, Qi Jiayu closed her eyes and slept.
Qi Jingye mumbled all night in his dreams, too. Thinking about how he was going to beat some strength into this future brother-in-law in the morning. Of course, it would be nice if he would learn a couple of tricks from him.
If he learns well, he can protect Jingshu.
As it turns out, just after dawn, and before they even headed off to work, the phone rang frantically.
“Old Qi, a child’s body was found in the north of the city, bring someone over there quickly. “
A confused Sister-in-law Qi’s eyes snapped open and looked over at her looking husband, “Were those the children from before…?”
Hating to admit it, but as he looked into his wife’s eyes, Qi Jingye nodded.
“Come on, there’s work to do.”
