Stealing Your Heart

Wen Qing snorted. “Why don’t you learn how to take care of yourself first?”

Soon, they arrived at the barbecue stall next to Yellow Lake. The best part about the stall was that their patrons could barbecue their own food with the provided ingredients. There was also a little forest next to the lake that was great for hanging out and chatting.

They grilled some meat and vegetables and even got a few cans of beer as they sat on the grass, eating and chatting away.

Wen Qing sighed, “This is probably the last of our relaxing days.”

Wen Xian leaned against her brother and shot him a side glance. “How can you be so unambitious. You are supposed to achieve something big.”

“What kind of big achievement do you want me to attain?” Wen Qing looked at his sister.

Without any hesitation, she replied, “Well, I want you to attain the title of a General that will protect the country.”

“Whoa, ambitious, aren’t we? A General?”

Chen Qing was rather quiet that day, and the siblings did most of the talking. All Chen Qing did was looked at Wen Xian when she was talking.

She looked so energetic, innocent and enthusiastic.

“I’ll go and get another two cans of beer.” Wen Qing got up.

With Wen Qing gone, Chen Qing finally got the chance to talk to Wen Xian. “You and Wen Qing seem to have a great relationship.”

With her hand supporting her chin, Wen Xian said, “Well, he is my brother, after all!” Then, as if she were suddenly reminded of something, a blissful look appeared on her face and she said helplessly, “When I was in primary school, nobody dared to be my friend.”

Chen Qing asked curiously, “Why?”

Wen Xian pouted. “Because I have a fierce older brother. I remember when I was in second grade, one of my classmates accidentally pushed me. I fell down and scraped my knee. There was a little bit of blood. When my brother found out about it, he went to beat him up.”

“Your brother went to beat up a kid?” Chen Qing’s jaw dropped.

Wow! overprotective much?

“Yeah, and from then onwards, everyone knew that I had a violent brother in the upper levels, and nobody dared to touch me for fear of my brother.”

Chen Qing laughed.
