Chapter 767 - 767 767 Really Dont Hope for That

Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Really Don’t Hope for That Chapter 767: Chapter 767: Really Don’t Hope for That “How about this: When I dress as a girl, I can be your sister, and when I look like this, I can be your brother. What do you say?” Seeing the strange expression on Luo Yuqing’s face, Luo Ziling walked up to her, smiling and said, “Whether we are siblings or not, we can act like it, don’t you think?”

“Alright, then you have to call me ‘sister’ first.” Luo Yuqing, charmed by Luo Ziling’s radiant smile, calmed down and smiled back at him, “Make it sweet, and there might be a reward.”

Luo Ziling opened his mouth, but ultimately, he couldn’t bring himself to say it, explaining a bit awkwardly, “We’re standing too close, and besides, you’re too beautiful. It’s a bit hard for me to say.”

Watching Luo Ziling’s embarrassed look, Luo Yuqing found him incredibly adorable and couldn’t help but giggle, “Junior, you’re really funny. I really wish I had a brother like you.”

But after she said this, she sighed softly, feeling an uncontrollable sense of loss.

She truly didn’t want the two of them to be siblings.

Setting personal feelings aside, if they were indeed half-siblings with the same father, there would certainly be unknown grievances from the older generation between them. If that were the case, her life would become even more complicated.

“Senior sister, what kind of person was your late father, and who is your mother?” Luo Ziling finally couldn’t resist asking the question he wanted to know most.

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Yuqing still shook her head, “I’ll tell you later. This weekend, I’ll go back and ask my mom about this. I hope she can reveal a little secret. I know their generation must have lots of love and hate, and many secrets unknown to others.”

After a pause, Luo Yuqing softly reminded Luo Ziling, “You could also ask your mom. I think if there really is such a thing, she should know about it as well.”

“Okay, I’ll find an opportunity to ask my mom,” agreed Luo Ziling without rejecting the idea.

After these words, both fell into silence, suddenly not knowing what to say next.

In the end, Luo Ziling suggested that they continue their morning routine with a run, and Luo Yuqing had no objections, so they started running in different directions.

Since the two had spent a rather long time together in the thicket, pictures of them together were posted on the forum again.

During class in the morning, Yang Qingyin was a little pouty as she dwelled on the interactions between Luo Ziling and Luo Yuqing the previous night, and their joint morning exercise that day.

“Some junior is really lucky, having another beautiful senior throwing herself at him. Spring hasn’t arrived, but the peach blossoms are already in full bloom!” The post was followed by several rolling-eyes emojis.

“Hehe, seems like a certain senior is actually jealous. I’m so happy,” Luo Ziling replied, adding a few smug emojis.

In response, Yang Qingyin sent a few bloody cleaver emojis.

Luo Ziling then sent another message, “Senior, you’re a history scholar. There’s an ancient marital taboo, right?”

“Hmph, are you referring to the prohibition against marrying someone with the same surname?”

“That’s right! You’re so smart, you got my point right away.”

Still, Yang Qingyin’s reply came with rolling-eyes emojis.

“I’m surnamed Luo, and so is Luo Yuqing. It’s said that her original surname was Li, and she changed it to Luo after her father passed away, but she has a younger brother who is still surnamed Li. Don’t you think there’s a story in there somewhere?”

“Ah?!!! Could it be that you two are…” She sent an emoticon symbolizing siblings and a string of surprised emojis.

“I don’t know either, but it should be cleared up soon.”

Although they didn’t clarify everything during the exchange of messages, at noon, Yang Qingyin took the initiative to reach out. She invited Luo Ziling for lunch just before class ended.

As they prepared to have lunch in a private room at a restaurant outside, Yang Qingying rarely showed a gossipy look and quietly asked Luo Ziling, “Is it really possible that you and Luo Yuqing are brother and sister?”

Luo Ziling shook his head, “I don’t know right now, I can’t confirm it. I’ll ask my mom or my grandfather; they should know.”

Yang Qingyin looked at him quizzically from head to toe, then asked in a low voice, “Could it be that your dad had kids with another woman?”

“How would I know?” Luo Ziling became a little angry, “All I know is that my parents loved each other deeply, and despite being apart for so many years, they remained faithful to each other.”

“Then how do you explain the possibility that Luo Yuqing might be your sister?”

“I can’t explain it,” Luo Ziling was a bit deflated.

Knowing when to drop the subject, Yang Qingyin didn’t ask anything more and didn’t mention anything related to Luo Yuqing again. Instead, she asked Luo Ziling when they could go visit Fang Dongxun together.

After thinking for a bit, Luo Ziling said, “How about tomorrow night? I plan to go treat him tomorrow evening.”

Yang Qingyin didn’t refuse and agreed readily.

In the afternoon, during math class, Mr. Wang Tongshan called Luo Ziling out for a private talk after class ended.

“Ziling, I’m really sorry about what happened last time. If I had known it would turn out that way, I wouldn’t have encouraged you to go,” Wang Tongshan began with an apology, then continued, “If you had lost the contest, or if they had played foul and used force, I really wouldn’t know how to face you.”

“Mr. Wang, it’s fine,” Luo Ziling shook his head generously, “I actually have to thank you for giving me the opportunity. If you hadn’t taken me there, I would never have had the chance to win so much wealth. It’s just a pity that I can’t drive; otherwise, driving that luxurious sports car to school would definitely attract a lot of girls’ attention. Haha!”

“Teacher Wu Hongwei and I discussed it, and we’re planning to invite you for dinner one day, as an apology,” Mr. Wang didn’t relax just because Luo Ziling was being magnanimous, but instead said very seriously, “No matter what, this incident started because of me and Teacher Wu, and we need to explain and apologize to you. I believe you understand that the Gu Family won’t let this go and will definitely have methods of retaliation, so you have to be careful.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Wang, I’ll be careful,” Luo Ziling expressed his gratitude and added, “Teacher Wu, there’s no need for you to apologize. Why don’t we have tea together sometime? Teacher Wu is also a traditional medicine enthusiast with impressive medical skills, and I would like to exchange ideas with him.”

“I should be the one inviting, it all started because of me,” Wang Tongshan insisted, “Whenever you both are free, and I am too, I’ll arrange it. We can just have a casual meal or drink tea together. You are an extraordinary student; although you fall behind in some classes, I’ll try to help you solve the problems, so you don’t fail. Dean Wu has also mentioned this, he said you are a prodigy.”

“Thank you, Mr. Wang,” Luo Ziling didn’t insist further.

Gaining the friendship and recognition of these teachers was one of Luo Ziling’s biggest achievements since coming to school.

After classes ended in the afternoon, Luo Ziling planned to go treat Lin Lan early, finish the treatment, and then go back to sleep early to get some good rest.

But as class was about to end, Yang Qingye messaged him saying she needed to see him in the evening and insisted that Luo Ziling wait for her.
