"Why are you back?"

This was the first thing Song Jiamin said to Ye Xiao after seeing him.

Ye Xiao heard Song Jiamin's words and laughed outright, looking at Song Jiamin, he said, "It seems you're not too happy about my return, but actually, I'll be leaving soon."

"Oh!"

Song Jiamin simply replied with an 'Oh'.

Ye Xiao and Song Jiamin fell silent immediately. The difference was, Song Jiamin was looking at the dining table, while Ye Xiao was watching Song Jiamin.

Song Jiaqian certainly didn't expect the atmosphere between the two of them to become awkward once they met. Clearly, this was definitely not the ideal atmosphere.

"Ye Xiao, you were speaking halfway just now. Let me ask you, did you teach my sister martial arts?" Song Jiaqian looked at Ye Xiao, deliberately inquiring, actually trying to steer the conversation to something everyone could participate in.

Ye Xiao heard Song Jiaqian's question and thought to himself, could it be the 'I knew it' Jiaqian mentioned just now wasn't about that matter, but about learning martial arts?

However, if it's about martial arts, then it's all much simpler.

"Of course, your sister is my apprentice," Ye Xiao said proudly.

Song Jiaqian seemed to enjoy the chaos, and upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, she immediately giggled and looked at Song Jiamin, saying, "Sis, is what Ye Xiao said true? Are you really Ye Xiao's apprentice? Doesn't that make your seniority lower than Ye Xiao's?"

As soon as Song Jiaqian said that, Song Jiamin, who was previously silent, immediately glared at Ye Xiao, saying, "Don't talk nonsense, or else you'll be in trouble."

"Heh heh, I only know that within a year..." Ye Xiao said with a mischievous smile.

Song Jiamin suddenly felt helpless, looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Enough."

Song Jiaqian looked at Ye Xiao, and then at Song Jiamin, with a peculiar expression on her face, she said, "I say, is there something you're keeping from me? What's going on within a year?"

Song Jiamin was suddenly at a loss when she heard Song Jiaqian's suspicion.

Could she really divulge that embarrassing agreement with Ye Xiao? There's no way she could do that. That's just out of the question.

Song Jiaqian saw Song Jiamin's face full of distress, her curiosity grew even more, and she said, "What exactly is the secret between you two? Could it be you guys..."

Clearly, Song Jiaqian's thoughts were starting to veer into an improper direction, which was obviously an unhealthy sign.

"Absolutely not!" Ye Xiao and Song Jiamin both said these four words almost simultaneously.

But after blurting out these four words, they immediately regretted it wholeheartedly to the extreme level.

Are you kidding? Doesn't this just tell Song Jiaqian that something's going on between him and Song Jiamin?

Seeing how agitated they both were, and even speaking in unison, Song Jiaqian had no choice but to harbor suspicions.

Evidently, at this moment, if they don't provide Song Jiaqian with a satisfactory answer, there's no brushing it off. But how to explain? Could they just tell the truth?

Ye Xiao saw the tense look on Song Jiamin's face. Clearly, telling the truth was out of the question.

He understood what Song Jiamin was worried about, once some things were out in the open, could it affect the relationship between the sisters? It was all entirely possible.

Song Jiaqian's gaze finally landed on Ye Xiao's face. Although she didn't speak, her eyes clearly demanded Ye Xiao spill the truth, or things wouldn't end well.

"Actually, the situation is like this. Minmin didn't want to tell you initially, but since you're insisting on knowing today, well, alright, I'll tell you," Ye Xiao said.

Song Jiamin, upon hearing Ye Xiao's words, thought he was going to reveal the truth, and immediately glared at him.

Ye Xiao glanced at Song Jiamin, secretly chuckling, and then looked at Song Jiaqian, saying, "It's like this, you know the show 'Happy Girls', right?"

"Happy Girls?" Song Jiaqian, hearing Ye Xiao's question, replied, "Yes, I know, so what about it?"

Song Jiamin was also puzzled at the moment. She couldn't understand why Ye Xiao suddenly mentioned 'Happy Girls'.

"'Happy Girls' is a variety show talent contest hosted by our Chu City TV, which I think you should know about," Ye said to Song Jiaqian.

Song Jiaqian, hearing this, said, "Of course I know, but are you saying that what you're talking about is related to that?"

"Then do you know your sister's attitude towards 'Happy Girls'?" Ye Xiao asked.

Song Jiaqian glanced at Song Jiamin, then turned to Ye Xiao, saying, "My sister doesn't like these flashy shows."

"Wrong, in fact, she loves it, or rather, it's not that she dislikes the show itself, she just doesn't like the participants," Ye Xiao stated.

"The participants?" Song Jiaqian, hearing these words from Ye Xiao, quickly looked at Song Jiamin, saying, "Sis, I remember you really don't like these shows, or did I remember wrong?"

Song Jiamin genuinely didn't like these kinds of shows, and Song Jiaqian hadn't remembered wrong. But now, hearing Ye Xiao's words, it was clear he meant to give Song Jiaqian a reasonable explanation. Song Jiamin didn't know what Ye Xiao was getting at, but she knew one thing: if she didn't go along with Ye Xiao's words, it wouldn't be easy to explain today.

The relationship between Ye Xiao and her sister Song Jiaqian was something he was familiar with.

Just because of the heroic rescue Ye Xiao performed at the bus station once, he had become the prince charming in Song Jiaqian's heart ever since, and nearly become her lifelong choice.

But, if Song Jiamin let Song Jiaqian know that actually, both sisters had fallen for this rascal, what then? Would it mean sibling rivalry?

That was clearly impossible, and absolutely not an option.

"Yes, that's right!" was all Song Jiamin managed to say, not even knowing what those few words meant.

Then, Ye Xiao continued, "Qianqian, you know that your sister has a bit of a temper, so there was a time I belittled her, and then she said she would definitely win the 'Happy Girls' championship, or else she would be my servant for life."

"Ah?" Song Jiaqian was taken aback by Ye Xiao's words, finding it hard to believe. Was her sister out of her mind to make such a bet with Ye Xiao? A servant for life? How could Ye Xiao make such a beautiful woman a servant? Didn't she know Ye Xiao's nature? So, she quickly turned to Song Jiamin and said, "Sis, do you have a fever? How could you make such a wager with Ye Xiao? The 'Happy Girls' championship isn't that easy to win, oh right."

Song Jiaqian turned to Ye Xiao again, saying, "Ye Xiao, I forgot to ask you, when did you say you belittled my sister?"

"Well... um, that's not the point. The point is your sister is preparing to participate in 'Happy Girls', don't believe me, ask her," Ye Xiao said, cold sweat forming on his brow.
