Peerless Cupid System

After the call connected, Ling Ziqian recognized the voice on the other end; it was Huo Nan calling.

To be honest, Huo Nan was quite frightened by his mother's decision to adopt Ling Ziqian as her godson.

In Huo Nan's eyes, Ling Ziqian was like a wise and enlightened master. He was worried that such a thing would anger Ling Ziqian.

On the phone, Ling Ziqian didn't sound angry, but his tone was a little awkward.

Although he and Ling Ziqian became brothers, Huo Nan dared not call himself the eldest brother.

The two chatted for a while, and Huo Nan talked about his work in Tianhai City, saying that when he returned to Haitang City, he would find Ling Ziqian for drinks or something.

In the cake shop, Ling Ziqian put down his phone.

Speechless, he slumped against the counter while the group of guys laughed and joked upstairs. He couldn't gain any flirting points.

To Ling Ziqian's surprise, Cupid suddenly ran downstairs.

She came downstairs and squeezed into a chair with Ling Ziqian.

"They're so noisy." Cupid pouted, clearly dissatisfied.

"Don't you like those sparkly jewelry?" Ling Ziqian asked with some doubt. Generally speaking, girls can't resist those kinds of things.

"I don't like it." Cupid didn't give a reason; she looked at Ling Ziqian and said, "I want a donut."

Ling Ziqian immediately got up and went to get a donut for this young lady.

Cupid was hugging a teddy bear and eating a donut, and she was very satisfied with Ling Ziqian.

She gave a cute smile and said, "Little brother, I know what's bothering you. Let me help you!"

What help?

That's irrelevant; if Cupid were to help, it would definitely cause a huge mess.

Ling Ziqian shook his head vigorously.

Cupid ignored Ling Ziqian, finished a donut, jumped off the chair, and ran upstairs in a flash.

Ling Ziqian was uneasy, worried that the guy would cause trouble, so he quickly followed.

As they walked upstairs, Su Mingxi was about to come downstairs when the two met at the top of the stairs.

"Brother... Brother." Su Mingxi almost called him by the wrong name and smiled embarrassedly.

"Hmm." Ling Ziqian scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed.

"Xiao Ai said you look like you're in a lot of pain, are you okay?"

"……fine."

Ling Ziqian was speechless. Cupid said she would help him, but she used such a petty trick.

"It's good that you're alright. I was quite startled when I heard Xiao Ai say that."

"It's nothing, it's nothing. That guy is just making a fuss over nothing."

"I'm not making a fuss. I think she's just concerned about you. After all, she's your sister too."

Su Mingxi's words surprised Ling Ziqian.

The reason Cupid-chan lied to Su Mingxi was because he knew he had a headache about the ambiguous value.

The way she did it did seem like she was concerned about herself.

Ling Ziqian couldn't help but laugh.

Turning around and going downstairs, Su Mingxi also wanted to go check out the shop, but Ling Ziqian refused.

Ling Ziqian watched over the cake shop alone, letting those guys have a good time all afternoon.

In the evening, Xue Lan left with Cui Xue. Dou Xiaorong planned to stay at Su Mingxi's house. They pulled Shen Qiaoyan along and skipped away.

Watching them leave, Ling Ziqian glanced at his silver watch; it still only had 1 point of ambiguity.

As night fell, the weather grew cold, and few customers came in. Ling Ziqian closed the shop and went upstairs.

Upstairs, Yu Meiren was watching TV with Cupid in her arms. There was nothing on the dining table; Yu Meiren hadn't cooked.

"Ling Ziqian, it's so cold. I don't want to cook. Let's have instant noodles tonight!" Yu Meiren muttered, curled up on the sofa.

"I want to eat the food my little brother makes," Cupid-chan shouted.

Ling Ziqian went into the kitchen to decide what to do.

Yu Meiren immediately became jealous, "It seems that my position in Ziqian's heart has been surpassed by this young lady!"

Ling Ziqian shook his head and smiled in the kitchen.

After preparing the food, knowing that Yu Meiren was too lazy to move, Ling Ziqian simply placed the food on the coffee table in the living room.

"Hey, I made my favorite egg drop soup, hehe, Ziqian, you still love me!" Yu Meiren shamelessly exclaimed.

"It was just something I made on the spot. Eat quickly, or you'll catch a cold," Ling Ziqian said, as if he were talking to his younger sister.

"Hehe, got it!"

The two men wolfed down their food, while Ling Ziqian ate very little.

Seeing that they had eaten and drunk their fill, Ling Ziqian cleared away the dishes and went to wash them.

"Come watch TV together after you're done washing up. It's the best feeling to watch TV together as a family, Xiao Ai, don't you think?"

"Uh-huh!"

After washing the dishes, Ling Ziqian took off his apron and dried his hands.

He wanted to go back to his room, but Yu Meiren rushed over and pressed him down to sit on the sofa.

Yu Meiren and Cupid Sauce attacked from both sides, reaching out to hug Ling Ziqian's arm.

Ling Ziqian felt a chill run down his spine, never expecting to be treated like this by these two guys.

A funny variety show was playing on TV, and Yu Meiren and Cupid were laughing so hard they were giggling.

The laughter of the two guys made Ling Ziqian feel very comfortable.

Eros-chan is supposed to be a goddess, but she's actually just an ordinary girl.

As for Yu Meiren, Ling Ziqian didn't know how to describe her.

She crossed her legs on the sofa, hugged Ling Ziqian's arm, and snuggled against him.

Seeing that Ling Ziqian didn't laugh along, Yu Meiren reached out and pinched Ling Ziqian's cheek. "Is it because we found you a godmother that you're unhappy?"

Ling Ziqian shook his head.

"You're just unhappy." Yu Meiren pouted, she was also a little unhappy. "Do you think I'm stupid? I know perfectly well what that Fire Mother's purpose is in taking a liking to you."

"Then why are you pushing me into this fire pit?" Ling Ziqian couldn't help but ask back.

"Eagles will push their eaglets off cliffs in order to teach them to fly."

Yu Meiren's explanation stunned Ling Ziqian, who stared at her in astonishment.

Yu Meiren laughed, "I'm not that cruel. Mother Huo wants your help, and you actually have the ability, but you're just too passive. Helping her is a kind of training, which is good for you and will broaden your horizons. When you grow up, you won't be running the cake shop with me, will you?"

These words sounded like the words of a mother; Yu Meiren had never spoken so earnestly before.

"Beautiful sister, what kind of person do you want me to become?" Ling Ziqian couldn't help but ask back.

“You’re not clay in my hands, you can’t be made however I want. Of course, I have an ideal version of you in my heart, the you that you can be whatever you want. Do you understand? As long as you dare to dream, I won’t stop you. But right now, you don’t even dare to dream.”

These words made Ling Ziqian so embarrassed that he wanted to disappear.

From childhood to adulthood, the poppy plant gave him countless opportunities to fly freely, but he always remained cooped up in his room.

Ling Ziqian had thought about dating, but felt uncertain about the future, so he gave up on the idea.

I've thought about the future, but I can only imagine a bland and uneventful one.

And then, I stopped imagining and just drifted along with the tide.

Now, Yu Meiren has pointed out incisively that she doesn't even dare to think about it!

Chapter 206 This night was very fruitful!

Ling Ziqian lowered his head and remained silent.

But Yu Meiren had no intention of letting him off so easily.

"Do you know?" she whispered in Ling Ziqian's ear, "Actually, I don't agree with you and Mingxi becoming sworn siblings. I would much rather see her become your girlfriend and my daughter-in-law."

Ling Ziqian lowered his head even further.

"Hehe." Cupid-chan laughed from the side, "Don't be sad, little brother. The future holds endless possibilities. Even siblings can be together!"

"Girl, what are you saying?" Yu Meiren reached out and patted Cupid's head.

Cupid smiled sheepishly and shook Ling Ziqian's arm.

Ling Ziqian looked at her; she was smiling sweetly, as if she were comforting herself.

This little devil... when did he turn into an angel?!

"What little devil? My Cupid is an angel, you just haven't noticed!" Huan Yue shouted.

"Looks like it's all my fault!" Ling Ziqian sighed inwardly.

Don't be so disappointed!

"Ah."

Ling Ziqian took a deep breath and looked at Yu Meiren. "It's probably because of my personality that I don't dare to think about many things. That's why I've always been a homebody. As for the future, even though I'm eighteen, I still can't see it clearly. I can't figure it out. Since that's the case, I will put in the effort to find out, otherwise you will be disappointed."

Yu Meiren smiled and shook her head. "Fool, what do you mean by not letting me down? No matter what you do, I will not be disappointed. Work hard for yourself and think more about yourself."

Ling Ziqian chuckled and scratched his head. "Like I said before, this is just my personality. If I searched the whole world and found that what I wanted most was to run a cake shop with you, would you... be disgusted...?"

This sentence left Yu Meiren stunned.

Cupid chuckled beside her, "Little brother, are you confessing your feelings to the beautiful sister?"

Upon closer reflection, the sentence did indeed have a hint of a confession, and Ling Ziqian immediately blushed.

He hurriedly explained, "Sister Mei is my mother. Without her, I wouldn't exist. She gave me life. She's the most important person in my heart. So, if I were to leave her, who's already all alone, for the sake of my so-called career, wouldn't that be a bit too much?"
