My younger brothers are so fierce!!! I'm clearly the eldest brother!

"Big brother!"

Jiang Guanqing's hand froze, and he looked up in surprise, meeting Jiang Yan's gaze.

Jiang Guanqing was in a terrible state. His cuffs were filthy, and several drops of oil had splattered on his glasses and solidified. He also had something smeared on his face, leaving a black patch.

Seeing Jiang Guanqing's current state, Jiang Yan's expression turned cold.

Jiang Guanqing instinctively hid his hands behind his back. "Xiao Yan, how did you know I was here?" He hadn't told anyone else.

Jiang Yan didn't answer, but went inside and took Jiang Guanqing away from the kitchen.

chef:???

When Jiang Guanqing came outside, he found that Jiang Yan was not the only one there. Bai Xin, Gong Bolin, Jiang Huai, Jiang Zhuo, and Jiang Ting were also there.

"Why are you all here?" Jiang Guanqing was a little confused.

"Watch me!" Jiang Yan said coldly.

Seeing Jiang Guanqing obediently turn around, Jiang Yan's attitude softened considerably. "Give me your hand."

Jiang Guanqing kept his hands behind his back, refusing to take them out. "What's wrong?"

"hand."

Xiao Yan stared at him intently, creating a rather oppressive atmosphere, so Jiang Guanqing had no choice but to remove his hand.

Seeing the red marks on Jiang Guanqing's hand, Jiang Yan's anger flared up again.

Jiang Yan held her breath and didn't say a word. She untied Jiang Guanqing's apron, threw it aside, and pulled him outside.

The chefs who came out were a bit confused. Should they still learn how to make boiled fish?

Bai Xin glanced at Jiang Guanqing's retreating figure and sighed heavily. "Master, that's enough for today. I'll settle the fee for you."

"Xiao Yan, are you angry?"

Jiang Yan's silence was interpreted by Jiang Guanqing as tacit agreement.

"Why are you angry?"

How could my older brother be so oblivious? He didn't even realize I was worried about him, and kept asking why I was angry.

Jiang Yan closed his eyes briefly. "Why did you suddenly decide to learn to cook, Big Brother?"

Of course it's because you all know how to cook! Even the younger brother can cook, so how could the older brother not know how?

That's what he was thinking, but Jiang Guanqing would never say it out loud, otherwise it would make him seem petty. He's so old, yet he still wants to compare himself to his younger brother. "Well... I just suddenly got interested."

Hearing this obvious lie, Jiang Yan sighed and made a decisive decision: "Don't learn it anymore."

"Why?" Jiang Guanqing was a little dissatisfied. He was about to learn how to make sweet and sour pork ribs. He originally wanted to learn secretly and show off to his younger brothers, but now it had all been exposed.

Jiang Yan softened her voice, "Big brother, I'll make whatever you want to eat. You don't need to learn."

In a split second, the roles reversed, and the one who got angry became Jiang Guanqing.

Seeing Jiang Guanqing hanging his head and refusing to speak, even the back of his head seemed to express his anger, Jiang Yan smiled helplessly.

The way my older brother looks now is a bit like a kitten that ran away from home and got itself all dirty.

That's good. Big brother should express his emotions.

Jiang Yan tugged at Jiang Guanqing's clothes, softening her voice, "Big brother~ I just felt sorry for you; it hurt a lot to get splashed with hot oil. Let's not learn anymore, okay, big brother?"

Jiang Yan looked so aggrieved that she was almost about to shed a couple of tears.

Jiang Guanqing bit her lower lip, and finally agreed to Jiang Yan's request, "Okay."

It seems like I've forgotten something?

On his way home, Jiang Guanqing frowned and kept thinking, feeling like he had overlooked something.

When they got home, Jiang Huai, who had kept quiet the whole way, was about to speak when Jiang Yan gave him a warning look.

Jiang Huai: ...

Jiang Yan pulled Jiang Guanqing upstairs, saying, "Big brother, take a shower first, and I'll apply the medicine for you after you're done."

"Does it hurt?"

Jiang Guanqing has sensitive skin and is fair-skinned. Even after so long, the areas splashed with hot oil still have small red spots. Her hands were the worst affected, covered in red patches.

Jiang Guanqing shook her head; it didn't hurt as much as last time.

"Big brother!"

After the medicine was applied, Jiang Guanqing and Jiang Yan went downstairs together. As soon as they got downstairs, Jiang Guanqing heard a very loud "Big Brother!" and a figure rushed towards him.

Jiang Guanqing subconsciously took two steps back and bumped into Jiang Yan behind him.

Jiang Yan put one arm around Jiang Guanqing's shoulder and pushed Jiang Huai away with the other.

"You stink! Stay away from your brother!"

Jiang Huai clenched his fist, pointed at Jiang Yan, "You..."

After staring at Jiang Yan for two seconds, Jiang Huai angrily lowered his hand.

Hmph, I can't be bothered arguing with my second brother. He's incredibly possessive; he's always wanted to monopolize my older brother since we were little, and he's also incredibly petty.

"Xiao Huai." Jiang Guanqing's eyes lit up. He knew it; he felt like he had missed something.

"Big brother." Jiang Huai looked at Jiang Guanqing and met his surprised eyes. His nose tingled and tears almost fell.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I've remembered everything that happened back then."

Jiang Guanqing was taken aback, then suddenly laughed, "No need to apologize, you're just sick."

Jiang Guanqing took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wanted to hand it to Jiang Huai, but he was stopped by Jiang Yan after taking only two steps.

Jiang Guanqing's handkerchief was snatched away by Jiang Yan and thrown at Jiang Huai's face.

"Big brother, Jiang Huai stinks horribly, stay away from him."

"Jiang, Yan!" Jiang Huai was furious.

Jiang Yan ignored him, pulled Jiang Guanqing around Jiang Huai, and left.

Jiang Zhuo and Jiang Ting both laughed when they saw this scene.

Although it's annoying that the second brother likes to monopolize the eldest brother, it's great that the other person isn't him.

With an hour and a half to go before dinner, a group of people sat in the living room, each doing their own thing.

Jiang Guanqing sat on the single sofa in the middle, hugging a plush pillow, still somewhat dazed.

He wasn't sitting here just now; he was sitting on the big sofa. Xiao Yan was sitting to his left, Xiao Zhuo to his right, and then the people next to him kept changing—Bai Xin, Gong Bolin, Xiao Ting… and then he was asked to sit here.

On the TV screen, two robots were fighting, speaking in a machine language, making gibberish, and even the subtitles were a bunch of gibberish.

Jiang Yanbai and the others got a headache after watching for a few minutes, while only Jiang Guanqing and Jiang Ting watched with great interest.

"Where's Xiao Liu? Jiang Huai, go and call him down for dinner."

"I'm not going." Jiang Huai couldn't get a seat next to Jiang Guanqing, and finally managed to get a seat opposite him. Now he didn't want to move an inch.

He swears that if he stands up now, he'll be left with only the corner seat.

"Jiang Xiaosi, hurry up."

"Go away, I'll go." Jiang Huai cursed inwardly, wanting to go to Jiang Yan's room in the middle of the night to put a sack on her.

"Tsk, so bad!"

Jiang Ning took off her gaming headset and looked at her fourth brother, who had finally decided to come back, with a somewhat speechless expression.

"Yes, yes, you're the best." Jiang Ning rolled her eyes. What's the use of being good at games if he won't play with her? She's useless anyway.

Jiang Huai laughed, slapped Jiang Ning on the head, and rubbed salt into Jiang Ning's wound, "Little Six, you and your brother are the most alike, your grades are just as bad."

Jiang Ning's lips twitched, and he slapped Jiang Huai's hand away. "Who's like you? He's going to unleash his true power for the final exams next week."
