653 How Long Must This Go On?
Ji Qingyan shyly pushed Lin Yi.
âIâm just not letting you look at other girls. Who asked you to crawl into my bed?â
âI just want to see your beauty.â
âYou just want to take the opportunity to be a hooligan. Yueyue was led astray by you.â
âSince you donât want me to look at female streamers, I naturally have to see you. No matter what, I have to see something.â
âJust sleep well. Donât be naughty.â
âWhat are you talking about? If I wasnât going to do anything, why would I come to your bed? To think about life?â
âHooligan, you⦠Ah, pinch me gently.â
â¦
The next morning.
Warm sunlight streamed in from outside, and Ji Qingyan snuggled in Lin Yiâs embrace. She slept exceptionally comfortably.
Piap!
Lin Yi slapped Ji Qingyanâs butt.
âGet up. Itâs past eight.â
Ji Qingyan twisted her body. âIâll sleep for a while longer. You can get up first.â
Lin Yi got up and washed up. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Guo Ningyue walked in in a long white dress.
âHuh? Whereâs my sister-in-law?â
âStill sleeping in there.â
âHow long did you guys gi at it? Itâs not like you donât have a chance to do it at home. Why are you acting like those young college students?â
âYou donât understand,â Lin Yi said, âThe hotel feels different from home.â
âMaybe Iâm just too immature.â

Ji Qingyan opened the door. âDonât listen to your brotherâs nonsense. We didnât do anything yesterday. We just slept a little late.â
âIf you didnât do anything, why did you go to bed late? To have a heart-to-heart conversation?â
She was speechless.
Guo Ningyue chuckled and walked up to Ji Qingyan.
âThatâs enough, Sister-in-Law. You donât have to explain. Weâre all adults. Itâs normal.â
Ji Qingyan wanted to cry but had no tears. She reckoned that no matter how much she explained, this girl would not believe her.
âIâm going to wash up and put on makeup. Iâll eat later.â
âThereâs no hurry,â Guo Ningyue said.
âSister-in-Law, where do you want to go? Iâll take you there.â
âAsk your brother about that. Iâll follow him.â
âBrother, what do you want to do?â
âIâm tired of Yangcheng, so I donât really want to travel anywhere.â Lin Yi said.
âIâll go to visit that company today. If thereâs anything that suddenly comes up, I might have to run around a bit.â
âThen Iâll go with you, but donât forget what you promised me.â
âWhat is that?â
âSister-In-Law, look at my brother. He forgot what he promised me.â
Ji Qingyan wiped her face. âDidnât you agree to meet Yueyueâs boyfriend today to check on him for her? How could you forget such a thing? Are you really her brother?â
âHahahaâ¦â Lin Yi smiled awkwardly, âActually, I remember everything. I just wanted to test your memory.â
âHmph, donât try to deflect the blame.â
âThatâs how my brother is. He doesnât have any other skills, but his ability to pass the blame is first-rate.â Guo Ningyue said.
âWhen I was in school, a girl wrote him a love letter and my mother found out about it. Then, he insisted that the love letter was for me. My mother thought that I was gay and almost brought me to see a psychiatrist.â
Ji Qingyan could not help but laugh. There was nothing she could do with this pair of siblings.
âYou still have the cheek to say that? Who walked around without looking and fell into a mud pit, then went back and said that I pushed her?â
âYouâre my brother. Whatâs wrong with you taking the fall for me?â
âYouâre my sister. Isnât it natural for you to take the blame for me?â
âSister-In-lawâ¦â
âAlright, thatâs enough.â
âWhen you were in Zhonghai, you bickered with Yuanyuan every day. Now that you are in Yangcheng, you are bickering with Yueyue too. How can you be like this?â
âI have to let her know the dangers of the world so that when she goes out in the future, she wonât be deceived.â
Ji Qingyan couldnât do anything about Lin Yi either, because she was no match for him from the start.
After the two of them washed up, they went down to the hotel lobby for breakfast, then prepared to go to the orphanage.
âBrother, if you and Sister-in-Lawdo donât want to hang out, Iâll go to work.â
âAre you still working as an accountant at that mall?â
âYes, I havenât changed jobs.â Guo Ningyue said.
âMy salary has already risen to 6,000 yuan. Moreover, Sister Wang from the unit said that after I get my Intermediate Accountant Certificate, my salary will increase by 800 yuan.â
Lin Yi nodded. âIs work tiring?â
âIâm not that tired,â Guo Ningyue said. âIf I were, I wouldnât have the time to do livestreams.â
âItâs good that youâre serious about your work, but if youâre tired, donât torture yourself. I can afford to take care of you.â
âGot it, Brother.â
âGo to work,â Lin Yi said, âYou donât have to work, but if you do, you have to take it seriously and not slack off.â
âGotcha.â
Guo Ningyue hailed a cab for the two of them. After sending Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan off, she gestured by her ear.
âBrother, donât forget what I told you. Wait for me to call you.â
âEven if I forgot, your sister-in-law wouldnât forget. Stop wasting time and go to work.â
âI know, I know. Iâm just worried.â
The two of them took a car to the orphanage.
There were not many children in the courtyard today because most of the children had been sent to school, including Dongdong.
The rest were children under the age of seven. Their kindergarten classes were handled here.
âMom, is there anything I can do to help? I happen to be free today.â
âNothing. Thereâs nothing for you to worry about. My daughter-in-law is busy with work. Itâs not easy for her to find time to come to Yangcheng. Take her out for a stroll.â
âAuntie, you donât have to worry about me. It doesnât matter where I go.â Ji Qingyan smiled.
âI donât need your help. Do whatever you want. Make yourself at home. Donât feel restrained.â
âOkay.â
âLil Yi, Daughter-in-Law, come here.â
Zhao Quanfu waved at them from the other side of the corridor.
âWhatâs wrong?â Lin Yi walked over and asked.
âIâll put you two to work.â
Zhao Quanfu brought the two of them to the room on the inner side. There were three portions of materials on the table, which were held together with plastic clips typically used to dry clothes.
âIs someone here to adopt a baby?â
âMhm.â Zhao Quanfu nodded. âThree families have come to look for us. Theyâre all infertile and want to adopt a child. Help me verify the information and see if there are any problems.â
âNo problem.â
Growing up in an orphanage, Lin Yi was familiar with this and knew what to do.
âAlright, Iâll leave this to the two of you. Some of the childrenâs beds are broken, so I have to clean them up.â
âOkay, go.â
After giving his instructions, Zhao Quanfu left while Ji Qingyan picked up the three sets of materials on the table.
She immediately felt sentimental toward the children and couldnât bear to send them away.
âAre you feeling uncomfortable?â
âYes, I canât bear to do this.â
âDonât worry. Their situation is much better now,â Lin Yi said.
âWith me supporting the orphanage, I donât have to worry about money anymore, so my mother changed the rules. She wonât send away children over the age of three unless they want to leave.â
âWhat about those under three?â
âTheyâre under three years old and their consciousness hasnât developed yet. Therefore, Mother Wang is willing to find them a good family,â Lin Yi said.
âAfter all, no matter how good an orphanage is, it is still just an orphanage.â
