Chapter 161 What can I say? I can't exactly say that my boyfriend is older than my brother, can
"Ahem! This is the genius roommate I mentioned before! Her name is Jiang Chengcheng, and she's seventeen years old!" Gao Xuanyi emphasized the last sentence, her voice trembling with rage, as she looked at her brother's inscrutable gaze.
I was hoping you'd cooperate with Mom every day to introduce me to potential partners! You're dreaming of an older man dating a younger woman! You've got a dream!
"Hello, I'm Chengcheng's older brother, Gao Jingshen. I'm 26 years old, unmarried, and don't have a girlfriend. My family is well-off." Gao Jingshen ignored his sister's sarcastic reminder and walked directly up to Jiang Chengcheng to introduce himself.
"Ha...haha...hello..." Jiang Chengcheng looked at Gao Xuanyi's brother, who was not his usual image, and looked rather embarrassed and at a loss.
Well... although she is indeed quite good-looking, because of her age, very few people have been bold enough to confess their feelings to her so soon.
Although Gao Jingshen didn't mention confessing his feelings, his words were far more damaging than any confession!
Perhaps sensing Jiang Chengcheng's embarrassment, Gao Jingshen became much more composed. He looked at Gao Xuanyi beside him and pointed to the man with captivating eyes next to her, introducing him...
"This is Zhu Linqing, your Uncle Zhu's grandson who has been studying abroad for many years. He just returned to China this year, and Mom asked me to introduce you two. This is my sister, Gao Xuanyi. You should know her." After saying this, Gao Jingshen felt that he had completed his task and did not say anything else.
"Hello, my grandfather mentioned you to me." After Gao Jingshen finished introducing her, Zhu Linqing greeted Gao Xuanyi with a smile.
Even though Gao Xuanyi really didn't want to go on a blind date, she still maintained basic politeness. She saw Zhu Linqing's outstretched right hand and quickly shook it in response.
Jiang Chengcheng, the solar-powered third wheel, was also secretly hiding to the side, trying to make everyone forget her existence. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Even though Jiang Chengcheng tried her best to reduce her presence, Gao Jingshen still walked towards her.
"Have you eaten? It's already noon. Why don't we invite Xuanyi and go out for a meal together?" Gao Jingshen's words were a question, but his tone left no room for argument.
Jiang Chengcheng was somewhat helpless about the other party's attitude. Gao Jingshen had not directly said that he liked her, and she couldn't very well presume to say that she was already taken. However, the other party's behavior really made Jiang Chengcheng feel at a loss.
"No, thank you. I have other things to do when I get back." Jiang Chengcheng waved her hand politely and declined.
"Really? That's a real pity." Gao Jingshen could tell that Jiang Chengcheng didn't want to get entangled with him any further, but he still didn't show it on his face.
"Ah, right! Right! Right! Brother, I forgot that Chengcheng has other things to do later, so I'm going back first!" Gao Xuanyi heard Jiang Chengcheng's words and felt like she had found a savior. She quickly said that she was leaving as well.
"Really? Then there's nothing we can do. What a pity." Gao Jingshen sensed his younger sister's resistance to blind dates and ultimately said nothing more.
moment.
Watching Gao Xuanyi successfully pull Jiang Chengcheng away and hurriedly leave, Gao Jingshen couldn't help but tease her.
"Linqing, you're not doing a good job. Look how scared my sister is, like there's a ghost chasing her."
Upon hearing Gao Jingshen's insulting words, Zhu Linqing immediately retorted.
"Ha, you still have the nerve to laugh at me? Aren't you treated like a pervert yourself? Tell me I'm 27, unmarried, and don't have a girlfriend. If it weren't for our years of friendship, I would definitely report you to the police!"
While Zhu Linqing was criticizing Gao Jingshen, she also couldn't resist mimicking his speech in a cheeky way, which infuriated the originally calm and composed Gao Jingshen.
"I'm just being virtuous and brave in pursuing love. Who's like you! Dressing like a butterfly every day, it's an eyesore. If my mom hadn't insisted on introducing you to my sister, I wouldn't have bothered saying a word to you. You're utterly unpresentable." After Jiang Chengcheng and the other left, Gao Jingshen reverted to his sharp-tongued nature, and the two of them went back and forth without giving an inch.

downstairs.
"Hey, Chengcheng, don't mind him. My brother seems very serious, but he's actually quite unreliable." Gao Xuanyi and Jiang Chengcheng explained apologetically, thinking about their brother's previous behavior.
"It's okay, we won't see each other again anyway, so it doesn't matter." Jiang Chengcheng shook her head, looking at Gao Xuanyi's somewhat embarrassed tone, to indicate that she didn't mind.
"That's good, Chengcheng. Actually, although I always say my brother is unreliable, he's actually a pretty good person. Apart from being a little older than you, he's perfect in every way. I think he really likes you. Why don't you consider it?" After putting things out in the open, Gao Xuanyi couldn't help but try her best for her brother. After all, Chengcheng is clearly a promising talent, and if she doesn't work hard now, she'll have even less of a chance later.
"Haha, I'm still young, I don't think about these things." Jiang Chengcheng quickly laughed and declined when she heard Gao Xuanyi's words.
Are you kidding me? How is she supposed to answer that?
You're saying I have a boyfriend who's older than your brother?
After careful consideration, Jiang Chengcheng chose to skip the topic because there was simply no way to answer it.
"Okay." Gao Xuanyi looked regretful when she heard this. Although she always teased her brother, she still really hoped that he could be happy.
After the two drove back to school, they thought the matter was over. But to their surprise, starting the next day, Jiang Chengcheng kept receiving bouquets of flowers for no apparent reason. Most importantly, the bouquets were unsigned.
Jiang Chengcheng didn't know who sent the flowers and usually just threw them away as trash. But one day, Gao Xuanyi unexpectedly discovered that the person who secretly delivered the flowers was her brother's assistant!
By this point, Gao Xuanyi understood everything; her brother was going to pursue Chengcheng!
This method is so outdated! Sending flowers anonymously! How can Chengcheng possibly appreciate his dedication?!
While Gao Xuanyi was inwardly criticizing Gao Jingshen, she thought that since he was so concerned, she, as his younger sister, might as well lend a hand.
"Chengcheng, are you free this weekend? It's my birthday, and I'd like to invite everyone to a party at my house." Gao Xuanyi thought that her birthday was coming up soon, and this was a good excuse to invite a few of her roommates over so that Chengcheng wouldn't feel awkward.
"Did you tell Xixi and Liu Xixi?" Jiang Chengcheng asked, remembering that Huang Qing and Liu Xixi were still in class.
"I told you, you'll all come together then," Gao Xuanyi replied to Jiang Chengcheng, though her heart was pounding with anxiety.
Dear brother! This is all the help your sister can give you!
If you two really do get together, don't forget to thank me, your matchmaker!
“Okay.” Although Jiang Chengcheng felt that Xuan Yi seemed a bit strange today, she didn’t think much of it and nodded in agreement.
