Chapter 247 - I Ship Myself

“I know about the magazine cover…” She knew that this had been a resource brought about by her third brother. “But what is the meaning of a honeymoon? And what does this, ‘Untimely CP is real’ —what does this mean?”

Xiang Yi cupped her cheeks in her hands, confused.

Was it because she hadn’t surfed the internet in too long?

She didn’t understand any of the comments she was seeing.

Ah Nan’s jaw dropped. “No way, no way? You don’t know that you and Shi Yingdi already have CP fans??!”

Xiang Yi: ???

“You’ve gotten a little popular lately, so you guys are no longer an arctic CP. I even followed it for a bit, and I must say that everyone really does put girls under a microscope…” Ah Nan sighed and searched for some queries related to [ Untimely CP ].

With practiced proficiency, he entered into the comment section and clocked in his daily commenting/forwarding/liking and banning. Then he found the CP posts made by the smooth ladies to show Xiang Yi.

A few minutes later.

Xiang Yi was stunned.

It was…kind of sweet?

‘Is this the legendary tale of…I ship myself?’

“What are you guys looking at?” Xiang Li poured himself a cup of water and sat down beside them.

Ah Nan said with ease: “Trending topics, bro. Do you want to read it too? It’s so sweet! A must have to reduce stress!”

“Really?”

Thinking of having more in common with his sister, Xiang Li politely glanced at the screen…

[Untimely CP is super sweet]: Shisui and Yi mei’s first love cut (edit!)! Sweeter than your first love!

[CP scientist begins shipping]: I drew a set of chibi emotes for Shisui and Yi mei, bunny pajamas x big gray wolf pajamas are a match made in heaven~

[Has Untimely CP been made official yet]: I saw them once and was trapped. ❤ Screenshots below↓

One minute passed.

Two minutes.

Xiang Li maintained his posture, unmoved.

Only his expression became more and more stiff.

The unknowing Ah Nan asked wholeheartedly: “Bro, how is it? Isn’t it so juicy!”

Xiang Li put down his glass and rubbed his forehead, turning his stiff handsome face toward Xiang Yi.

“You come here.”

“Huh?”

Xiang Yi followed him to the balcony with a befuddled expression.

Xiang Li’s opening remarks were very cold. “Recite article number sixteen of the house rules.”

Xiang Yi recalled for a moment. “The hazards of premature dating are as follows, one, it’s easy to be deceived by scumbag men, two…”

The daylight brushed on a tall, slender silhouette. Xiang Li’s expression did not change as he waited for his sister to recite the entire clause before saying leisurely: “So that’s why you cannot date prematurely.”

Xiang Yi: ???

Softly, she responded: “Big brother, I’m twenty this year…”

“So what if you’re twenty! Am I no longer your brother if you’re twenty years old?!”

Xiang Yi had always been very obedient when it came to her brothers. “Oh…I got it.”

Xiang Yi patted her head. “Good girl.”

He raised his eyebrow at Shi Sui who was sitting not far away, blatantly provocative.

Shi Sui snorted quietly and mouthed:

Immature.

Xiang Li didn’t take him serious, but once Shi Sui walked away, he suddenly asked:

“Tell me, where have you been this last year.”

Xiang Yi’s eyes widened.

“Why are you so surprised? Do you think I’m as dumb as your uncle to not even notice?” Xiang Li smiled lightly like a sly old fox. “Bunbun, are you insulting your brother’s intelligence?”

Time rewind.

Xiang Yi briefly summarized her experiences from last year.

Xiang Li listened intently, tapping on the railing again and again, the rhythm between each tap synchronized precisely.

“Did you think the catalyst was that car accident?”

Xiang Yi froze. “Is that not right?”

Xiang Li’s voice was solemn. “That’s the problem. There’s a chance that person might return.”
