Chapter 6: Chapter 4: How About Older Sister Marries You_1
"Yes, that\'s right." Gu Mingyue\'s cheeks flushed.
Just as she was about to explain, Yang Caidie covered her head and fell heavily onto the bed, asking weakly, "How much did he gamble this time?"
"Three hundred..." Gu Mingyue told her without any omissions.
"Three hundred... Why is it three hundred again?" Yang Caidie felt bitter; the last time he gambled with the Wang Family, it was three hundred, and this time it was still three hundred.
Why did her younger brother get involved with this three hundred?
But soon, she resignedly said, "Three hundred it is then. As his older sister, I can afford it. Go tell Yang Chen that as a True Man, success and failure are common in the affairs of soldiers. He must not be discouraged and must not attempt to take his own life again. Three hundred Spirit Stones, I can still afford to lose."
Obviously, in Yang Caidie\'s eyes, her younger brother was more important, and if she lost three hundred Spirit Stones, she lost them.
Seeing Yang Caidie\'s heartbroken expression, Gu Mingyue blinked and said, "Well, Young Lady. Actually, this time Young Master... He..."
"What\'s wrong? Did he gamble more than three hundred?" Yang Caidie widened her eyes, and she had just over three hundred Spirit Stones left. If there were any more, she really wouldn\'t be able to get them out.
"No, no, I mean, Young Master gambled three hundred Spirit Stones this time, but the final result might be a bit different from what you think. Young Master... Young Master won." Gu Mingyue said.
Hearing this, Yang Caidie didn\'t show a surprised expression, but instead patted Gu Mingyue on the head, "Mingyue, are you sick? As his older sister, how could I not know how much my younger brother weighs? That Yang Heng, a Tier 1 Middle-Stage Alchemy Master, even our Yang Family Grand Alchemy Master Second Master praised him, saying his Alchemy Talent is unmatched. Can my younger brother beat him? You\'re joking with me."
Although she never blamed Yang Chen, as his older sister, she knew exactly what kind of person her younger brother was and what he was capable of.
Her parents died early, and to put it bluntly, when her younger brother was young, she was the one who changed his diapers. She knew her brother all too well. But what could she do? He was her younger brother, and even if he was useless and a waste, he was still her brother.
"It\'s true." Gu Mingyue didn\'t know how to explain and could only stubbornly mumble, "I saw it with my own eyes."
"Really?"
Gu Mingyue explained the ins and outs of the situation clearly.
Yang Caidie was dumbfounded.
She pinched her ear, "Am I dreaming?"
"It should... not be a dream!"
"What do you mean it should not be a dream?"
"Because Mingyue feels like she\'s dreaming..."
Yang Caidie slapped the table hard, then paused for a moment, "My hand hurts, so it seems I\'m not dreaming. My brother, Yang Chen, actually won? Three hundred Spirit Stones, hahaha, three hundred Spirit Stones."
A surprised expression burst across Yang Caidie\'s face.
Gu Mingyue\'s face also beamed with joy.
Yang Caidie slapped the table again, causing the table to wobble unsteadily, "Mingyue, what\'s my brother\'s favorite food? Today, I, as his older sister, will cook it for him. Whatever he wants to eat, I\'ll cook it. Three hundred Spirit Stones, that\'s so satisfying. I want to kiss my brother and see if he\'s come to his senses!"
...
Yang Chen took a small tour around the Yang family, visiting a few familiar places from his memory, before leisurely returning. Back at home, it was noon time, and he knew his sister Yang Caidie must be preparing meals for him.
As expected, when Yang Chen pushed open the door, he was greeted by the fragrant aroma of food. The scent filled his nostrils, making him feel refreshed. In his previous life, he had not entered the Martial Arts world and could not avoid food. However, this was the first time he had encountered food with such a warm and homey fragrance.
Yang Caidie...
Yang Chen had an instinctive aversion to women because of the harm inflicted on him by Hua Wanru, so he was wary of anyone. However, when it came to his elder sister Yang Caidie, he could not feel any aversion at all, so he could not help but feel a genuine sense of family and love.
"Yang Chen, you\'re back?" Yang Caidie said with a beaming smile, "See what your elder sister has cooked for you today? Braised goose, your favorite! Let me tell you, your sister has improved a lot in her cooking skills these days. I\'ll fatten you up for sure, haha!"
Seeing his sister\'s candid laughter, Yang Chen knew Gu Mingyue had told Yang Caidie about his winning three hundred Spirit Stones.
He smiled faintly then took out all three hundred Spirit Stones from his storage ring and said, "Sister, I\'ll give these Spirit Stones back to you."
"Why are you giving them back to me?"Yang Caidie chewed her food.
"Didn\'t I lose three hundred Spirit Stones? You helped me cover it at the time, so now I\'m returning it to you!" Yang Chen replied.
Yang Caidie blinked, "Let me tell you something, Yang Chen, all you need to understand is one thing. You are the only man of our lineage; in simple terms, you are the only one with the responsibility of carrying on the family line. So, your sister\'s things are yours, and yours, well, they are still yours. There\'s no need to give them to me."
Yang Chen was completely dumbfounded.
What kind of logic was that?
Could this even make sense?
"Sister..."
"I\'ve said that I don\'t want it. Hurry up and eat the goose." Yang Caidie ordered.Yang Chen looked embarrassed and then said, "Older Sister, actually, I have something to discuss with you today."
"What is it?" Yang Caidie blinked her eyes.
Yang Chen picked up a piece of goose meat and found it quite delicious. While chewing, he said, "I want to practice martial arts!"
"No way!" Yang Caidie said seriously.
Yang Chen slapped his forehead, knowing it would be like this.
From the memory of this body\'s Yang Chen, he had digested everything just now. It could be said that Yang Caidie never thought of letting her brother practice martial arts.
As expected, Yang Caidie put her chopsticks down and wiped her mouth, "Listen, my treasure. You know that your older sister is the number one genius among the women of the Yang family. How formidable is that black-haired wolf from the Sun Family who used to bully you? The equivalent of the Body Refining Realm Third Layer, your older sister just cut it down with one strike. You just focus on alchemy, it\'s not so hard. Practicing martial arts is more difficult and bitter, right? You\'ll be sweating all over every day. What if you get hurt? Wouldn\'t your older sister be heartbroken?"
"But if I don\'t practice martial arts, how can I protect myself?" Yang Chen tried to persuade Yang Caidie.
Yang Caidie raised her eyebrows, "I will protect you."
"..."
Yang Chen said unhappily, "Older Sister, you should think carefully. In the future, I will marry and have children. We can\'t live together forever. Can you take care of me and protect me for a lifetime? Fine, even if you can protect me for a lifetime, will you also protect my children?"
Hearing Yang Chen\'s words, Gu Mingyue, who was eating at the side, felt that what Yang Chen said made sense.
She is a maid, so she can\'t sit at the table to eat. Yang Caidie had told her that as well, but she felt that this was the rule and couldn\'t break it. So every time they had a meal, Yang Chen and Yang Caidie sat at the table, and she stood on the side. However, she could clearly hear their conversation.
Yang Caidie, listening to Yang Chen\'s words, blinked her big eyes, looking cute and playful. It seemed that she also thought what Yang Chen said made sense. After considering it for a while, she finally seemed to make up her mind, "It makes sense. How about this? You\'re still underage now. After the coming-of-age ceremony in three months, you\'ll be an adult, and I will marry you. That way, I can protect you for a lifetime."
At first, Yang Chen thought he finally persuaded his somewhat-explosive older sister with his eloquence.
But soon he found out.
My God, he is too naive.
This older sister of his is really extraordinary. In order to protect him, she is even willing to marry him.
Yang Chen knew it could work.
Because Yang Caidie is not his biological sister; she was picked up by his parents. But, how her background came to be, he didn\'t know. Of course, he knew that he couldn\'t take this seriously, because his older sister had said many nonsense things in the past.
Maybe it was just Yang Caidie\'s way of appeasing him.
But one thing he noticed.
Indulgence.
This is true indulgence.
Yes, Yang Caidie\'s love for Yang Chen is indeed indulgent.
Now he finally understood why Yang Caidie\'s brother Yang Chen was so useless. How could he not be useless? With such an indulgent older sister, it would be strange if her brother wasn\'t useless.
Yang Chen\'s talent in martial arts was actually not bad, even slightly better than Yang Heng\'s, but Yang Caidie didn\'t want Yang Chen to suffer. She didn\'t allow him to practice martial arts, and instead had him study alchemy because alchemy wasn\'t as hard as martial arts. However, the result was that \'Yang Chen\' didn\'t have a talent for alchemy.
As a result, this \'Yang Chen\' found that both martial arts and alchemy were not his strengths, and eventually embarked on the path of a hedonist. However, his older sister always covered for him, no matter what he did.
This made the current Yang Chen take a deep breath.
He also knew clearly that Yang Caidie\'s indulgence was indeed out of love for her brother, but he couldn\'t let this situation continue to develop in a bad direction.
With this in mind, he said, "Sis, are you serious?"
"Uh... Anyway, you just don\'t practice martial arts." Yang Caidie replied earnestly.
"Bang!"
Yang Chen slammed the table violently and said fiercely, "Today, I will practice martial arts no matter what. Older Sister, I want to walk my own path. Even if you have ten thousand reasons, have you ever seen a man who lets a woman stand in front of him to protect him? I, Yang Chen, will never be the first man to hide behind a woman."
"Since I am the only man in our family, I must take on the responsibility of being the only man!"
When these words fell, Yang Chen turned and left.
He wasn\'t really angry but had to be more decisive about important matters. If he continued to be weak on this issue and hesitated, Yang Caidie would only treat him as a child who would never grow up. He needed her to know that a man is a man!
Yang Caidie was indeed frightened by Yang Chen\'s attitude. Honestly, this was the first time she saw her brother display such a manly attitude.
"Ah, Ming Yue, did you see that?"
"I saw it..." Gu Mingyue wiped her mouth vigorously, seemingly unable to believe it.
Yang Caidie swallowed her saliva hard: "Just now, my brother seemed quite manly."
Has Yang Chen finally come to his senses in the nick of time?
"Not just seemed, definitely manly." Gu Mingyue said.
