Chapter 158 Reconciliation
As for how Lan Zhan coaxed the angry Wei Ying, only heaven and earth know, and only the two of them know. After all, the protagonist Wei Chaoyan was not present, so she didn't know, and others certainly didn't know the details either.
Anyway, when Wei Chaoyan came downstairs with Qi Ye and Qing Yan after watching an episode of anime on the second floor, they only saw Lan Zhan and Wei Ying enjoying themselves immensely, chatting and laughing. No, to be precise, Wei Ying was clinging to Lan Zhan, sitting swaying from side to side, chattering incessantly and laughing so hard he almost fell over; Lan Zhan listened attentively with a gentle expression, responding to Wei Ying with "hmm," "okay," and "good" in short or long sentences, and promptly supporting Wei Ying's lower back as he laughed so hard he almost lost his balance, preventing him from falling off his seat...
Wei Chaoyan walked at the front, and as soon as she stepped down the last step, the friendly and harmonious scene in the living room came straight into her view. Wei Chaoyan's eyes widened instantly, a strange light shining brightly within them, and a dreamy smile involuntarily curved her lips.
As Wei Chaoyan was lost in thought, a muffled sound came from behind her: Qi Ye and Qing Yan's surprised and uncertain childish voices: "Sister, why did you suddenly stop?"
Startled awake by her words, Wei Chaoyan snapped out of her inappropriate and aimless reverie. Somewhat embarrassed, she realized her awkward situation, gave a dry laugh, and then, without turning her head, placed her feet on the living room floor, saying calmly, "No, Sister, I just suddenly remembered something and stopped. Qi Ye, you and Qingyan didn't bump into each other, did you?"
"No, don't worry, sister. I'm holding my brother's hand carefully as we walk." Qi Ye answered Wei Chaoyan softly, while holding Qingyan's little hand and looking down carefully at the path under their feet, as they carefully stepped down the stairs.
As soon as he put his foot on the ground and looked up, he saw Wei Chaoyan standing not far away, smiling somewhat awkwardly. A little further ahead, Lan Zhan stretched out his arm to support Wei Ying's slender waist as he got up from the sofa and greeted them with concern.
"Brother Aying, you and Brother Azhan have made up? That's more like it. It's good to talk things out. Holding grudges will only hurt our relationship." Qiye put down Qingyan's hand and sighed like a little adult.
"Brother, let's not fight!" Little Qingyan was also very clever. As soon as Qi Ye let go, he ran to Lan Zhan and Wei Ying with his short legs, holding their hands on either side and swaying them up and down in a coquettish manner.
Lan Zhan, being shy and easily embarrassed, was oblivious. Wei Ying, on the other hand, tilted his head, made a face at Qingyan, stuck out his tongue, and said defiantly, "Lan Zhan loves playing with me the most, how could he be angry with me? Little Qingyan, you little potato, you're just talking nonsense!"
Still not satisfied, he reached out and ruffled Qingyan's hair, turning his neatly combed bun into a bird's nest. The ruffled hair brought tears to Qingyan's bright, sparkling eyes. Only after Qiye and Lanzhan stopped him did he withdraw his mischievous hand.
As soon as Wei Ying stopped, Qingyan let out a "whoosh" and rushed into Qi Ye's arms, grumbling and complaining. Qi Ye pretended to hit Wei Ying to vent his anger, and Wei Ying, being very perceptive, cooperated by pretending to "hey hey" twice. Believing it to be true, he quickly looked up and stopped him, generously saying that he was no longer angry with Brother A-Ying. He even pleaded with Brother Qi Ye with a serious little face not to hit Brother A-Ying anymore.
And just like that, the children made up again and started chattering and making a ruckus.
Seeing that they had resolved their internal conflict and were playing happily together again, Wei Chaoyan, who had been out of the public eye for a long time, stepped forward leisurely, clapped her hands to attract their attention, and said with a smile, pretending not to know about their earlier commotion, "Alright, my dear brothers! It's still early, why don't you come out for a walk with your older sister and see what the teachers are doing?"
Her gaze shifted to Lan Zhan, her smile deepening: "Let's give Zhan a ride to Teacher Hai so he can finish his replication mission sooner! That way, he'll have time to go to the amusement park with us this afternoon. I heard that the teachers and other uncles and aunts have added a lot of fun facilities. Don't you want to go and have some fun?"
Wei Ying and Qingyan immediately jumped up, clapping their hands in approval with beaming smiles, while Qi Ye and Lan Zhan hesitated.
"Sister, we have to go to school tomorrow! Is this... is this not a good thing?" Qi Ye asked nervously. Although Lan Zhan did not speak, his shallow eyes, full of disapproval, revealed that he shared the same thoughts as Qi Ye.
Wei Chaoyan glanced at the two who disagreed with her with a strange look, and said matter-of-factly, "It's precisely because we have to start studying hard tomorrow that we should cherish today's precious time and have a good time! Otherwise, once we start studying, we'll have to study all day long like last time, and we won't have any time to play! Wouldn't that be a waste of the effort that the teachers put into building all the facilities in the amusement park?"
After a pause, Wei Chaoyan emphasized her point, trying to persuade them: "Doesn't the teacher often say that we should balance work and rest? If we have a good time before we start studying, then when we start studying, we won't have our minds preoccupied with these things, and we can concentrate on studying more. Isn't that a win-win situation?"
It seems like what my older sister said makes a lot of sense!
Qi Ye and Lan Zhan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with hesitation. After all, they were still young, and their playful nature remained. Moreover, Qi Ye had Qing Yan clinging to him, pleading with him, while Lan Zhan had Wei Ying tugging at his sleeve, clinging to his shoulder, and nagging him in a sweet voice. In the end, unable to resist the two's pleading offensive, Qi Ye and Lan Zhan helplessly lowered their heads and surrendered, agreeing to Wei Zhaoyan's suggestion.
So, Wei Chaoyan, beaming with pride, led the four of them out for a stroll. Their first stop was to find Zhao Yumin and her two companions and invite them to join their little adventure group!
