Liang Ye was a bit stunned. "You... How come you also have a tattoo?"

He never expected that a girl who looked so plain would actually have a string of tattoos on her body!

This was so strange.

The girl burst into laughter. "Am I a bad girl now?"

Liang Ye shook his head. "You do good deeds. You're not a bad person."

The girl looked towards the urban village in the distance. "I didn't do any good deeds. I lived here when I was a kid. All the grandparents here gave me food, so I'm just repaying them by bringing them food."

This didn't count as a good deed. It was just what she should do.

She looked at Liang Ye with a smile. "Is your friend not a good person? You're not even closely related, but she was willing to help you when you asked her."

"You're right. Meili is a very good person, but..."

The girl waved her hand to interrupt him. "But she has a lot of tattoos and dyed hair, right?"

Liang Ye nodded. "Yes..."

The girl stroked her black hair. "It's just about hair. What does it have to do with being good or bad?"

She sized Liang Ye up. "You're so old - fashioned. How boring. I'm leaving!"

After saying that, she hopped on her electric bike and rode away without a single backward glance.

She rode so fast that Liang Ye didn't even have time to react, and she disappeared from sight.

He didn't even have time to ask for her WeChat!

Woo - woo - woo...

He felt as if a piece of his heart had suddenly gone missing. He had made her unhappy.

He didn't mean that. He didn't think that girls with dyed hair and tattoos were bad. He just...

Brother!

He had to go to his brother for comfort. It was all his brother's fault. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made that girl unhappy!

With tears in his eyes, he rode his electric bike to his brother's company. Liang Zheng had just finished a video conference. He was very surprised to see Liang Ye. "What brings you to see me?"

Liang Ye rarely came to the company because he couldn't stand his brother's office. It was so luxurious.

His brother's office was even bigger than Liang Ye's small apartment. It was such a waste! He felt heart - ache when he saw it.

But today, he didn't care about all that. When he saw his brother, tears streamed down his face. "Brother, you've ruined me! It's all your and Meili's fault. If Mom didn't want to see Meili, I wouldn't have... She must think I'm a very bad person. Woo - woo - woo..."

He cried so sadly and desperately, but his brother only had one thing on his mind. "You said Mom wants to see Meili? When? How did Mom find out?"

Liang Ye sobbed. "Sister Yunzhi's mom took a picture of you two holding hands at the electric bike shop and sent it directly to Mom..."

Liang Zheng's face darkened immediately. How could he have forgotten that He Yunzhi's mom was such a conservative person!

Liang Ye was still sniffling and crying. "Brother, can you help me explain to her that I'm not old - fashioned..."

His brother frowned impatiently. "If you're not old - fashioned, then who is?"

"What?"

The tears suddenly got stuck in his eyes. Liang Ye was completely stunned. "Brother, why are you scolding me?"

Liang Zheng frowned tightly. "Why didn't you tell me first when Mom wanted to see her? Why did you put her in a difficult situation?"

Liang Ye was a bit slow to react. "I wanted to give Meili a heads - up..."

Wasn't he thinking about Meili? Why was his brother unhappy?

Liang Zheng frowned even more. "By going to her first, you're shifting the problem onto her to solve. Xiao Ye, you can't shift relationship problems onto girls. That's an irresponsible act."

Liang Ye was aggrieved. "But..."

Before he could explain, Liang Zheng asked him again. "Xiao Ye, when you went to her, did you want her to change herself to please Mom and get Mom's approval?"

Liang Ye nodded. "Yes. I support you two."

He wanted to tell his brother that he definitely didn't oppose their relationship. He...

But then he heard his brother say, "But this relationship is what I'm striving for. What you and Mom are doing will only make all my previous efforts go to waste."

"Brother, what are you talking about?"

Liang Ye's mind was in a mess. What was his brother talking about?

Was his brother pursuing Meili? Was that what he meant?

But how could that be? That was his brother! His brother was...

"You're so old - fashioned. How boring..."

The girl's words suddenly rushed into his mind. He was so old - fashioned and boring.

Yes, he was so old - fashioned.

Although he liked Meili as a friend, deep down, he thought Meili was far beneath his brother.

So he wanted Meili to change herself to please his mom and get his family's approval.

His eyes couldn't help but turn red again. "Brother, I know why Huanhuan said that about me. I was wrong..."

Liang Zheng walked up to him and ruffled his hair. "It's good that you know. Go and apologize to them properly."

"But what about Mom..."

He didn't know how to tell his mom not to go and see Meili.

Liang Zheng gave a soft laugh. "This isn't your relationship, so you don't need to worry about it. Leave it to me. I'll handle it."

After seeing Liang Ye out of the office, Liang Zheng sat still for a long time. He picked up his phone and put it down again, clicked into the chat box and exited it.

After a long time, he exited the chat box and turned off his phone.

He needed to take his relationship to the next level. This was a good opportunity, and he had to seize it.

Liang Ye had no idea what his brother was planning. With red eyes, he rode his bike to He Huanhuan's shop. As soon as he entered the shop, he started wailing. "Huanhuan and Meili, I was wrong. I know where I went wrong. Can you stop being angry with me? I shouldn't have..."

He closed his eyes and let out a long wail. Only after he finished did he open his eyes, waiting for forgiveness.

Instead of forgiveness, he was greeted by a camera pointed right at him.

Danmaku scrolled by one by one. "What's this ordinary guy crying about? He's so whiny. I can't understand a single word."

"I don't know. He suddenly rushed in and started crying. Is he a beggar?"

"Baby Huanhuan, give him a dollar. Don't mess with this kind of person. He might go crazy and be really scary!"

"......."

Liang Ye felt like dying. How embarrassing!

He quickly squatted down and hid outside the camera's view. "You're doing a live - stream. Why didn't you tell me?"

He Huanhuan looked at the lively live - stream room and laughed so hard that her eyes were almost shut. "Who knew you were so great and willing to sacrifice so much for the live - stream effect."

Meili was looking at the pre - sale links in the backstage. In just a few minutes, more than a dozen items had been sold. She said to him with a smile, "You did a good job. Sister will generously forgive you."

She hadn't really blamed Liang Ye in the first place. They were all ordinary people. In the eyes of ordinary people, Liang Zheng was much more outstanding than her. It was quite normal for Liang Ye to hope that she would change.

Not to mention that Liang Zheng was his elder brother. The fact that he didn't jump up and oppose their relationship already showed that he had a friendly filter towards her.

Liang Ye squatted on the ground and smiled. "Really? Are we still friends?"

He didn't even notice that in his heart, he only regarded them as friends.

And those words about wanting to be with He Huanhuan had been completely forgotten.
