My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty
Chapter 91: What is a Backup?

Chapter 91: Chapter 91: What is a Backup?

Tang Chuxia nearly died of anger.

"Second Brother, can you take care of my fragile heart?"

She looked very much in protest!

Tang Jianjun merely uttered an "oh" and asked, "If it’s not that scoundrel Hu Mingcheng, then who do you like? Who exactly are the earth’s three treasures? I’ll catch him for you and force you to marry!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

Isn’t this a bit too indulgent!

"Xiaxia, is it really not possible?"

Lin Qingchen ignored Tang Jianjun’s words and murmured in a low voice. His gaze was deep and affectionate, making the nearby Gu Beihuai quite displeased.

From Tang Chuxia’s eyes, he clearly saw that the earth’s three treasures referred to him, yet he couldn’t acknowledge it at this moment, nor did he have the stance to speak on behalf of Tang Chuxia.

So he just silently watched.

Lin Qingchen looked at Tang Chuxia again, "I really want you to be involved in my world!"

Tang Chuxia felt awkward.

It’s not like she hasn’t been confessed to before, but being confessed to in such a place was indeed a first.

She hadn’t figured out how to explain, when the elder interjected, "Young people nowadays really know how to date. Look at how gracefully he speaks. In ancient times, this would make him a great literary figure!"

Lin Qingchen’s face rarely turned red.

Gu Nanzhi, however, retorted to the elder, "Those who can talk about love are not literary giants; they should be poets!"

The elder was puzzled, "Aren’t they the same?"

Gu Nanzhi perked up and squatted beside the elder, "Elder, let me analyze this for you. Great literary figures mostly write well, but for the most part, they’re straight men and don’t know how to say sweet things. They probably only preach to their wives and concubines at home. Don’t you think I’m right?"

The elder shook his head, "No reason!"

Gu Nanzhi: ... Why don’t you speak according to the script?

She had actually prepared a lot.

"Not important, keep talking!" Gu Nanzhi waved her hand, her thick skin an advantage, not fearing embarrassment.

"Of the famous poets throughout the ages, except for a few female poets, which one didn’t have a heap of romantic affairs? And many of their masterpieces were inspired by courtesans. Why?"

This time, the elder cooperated, "Why?"

Gu Nanzhi smugly said, "Of course, it’s because beauties are captivating!"

The elder suddenly realized, "You sure know a lot for a young girl!"

Gu Nanzhi puffed up her chest proudly, "Of course!"

Her pride lasted only three seconds before her brother gave her a hard chop on the head, causing her to clutch her head and scurry away.

Tang Chuxia couldn’t help but laugh, turning to look at Lin Qingchen. She wanted to clarify, but she already said it, and he didn’t accept it. If she coldly and heartlessly scared him away, that would be too much. She couldn’t do it.

Finally, Tang Jianjun couldn’t stand it anymore and whispered into Tang Chuxia’s ear, "I think Yun Zhongyue is also a good choice, at least he can put food on the table!"

For a while, Tang Chuxia didn’t know how to respond.

Dear brother!

But unfortunately, he’s just not her type.

"Second Brother, what do you think Third Brother will do if he knows you’re this eager to marry me off?"

Tang Chuxia had to bring out a heavyweight figure. Tang Jianjun imagined the scenario and immediately raised his hands, "I was wrong!"

The fear of a brother obsessed with his sister is terrifying!

He didn’t think of himself as obsessed with his sister, just protective of her, but what about the youngest?

That’s the typical brother obsessed with his sister, and the key is, he’s capable enough to handle him like a chick.

Didn’t leave him any brotherly dignity.

Where could he plead his case?

Without Tang Jianjun interrupting, Tang Chuxia looked at Lin Qingchen again, "Little Taoist, we’re really not suitable? Standing beside you should be a fairy, but I’m just an ordinary person!"

The hurt in Lin Qingchen’s eyes was about to overflow, yet he still maintained his composure and didn’t create a scene.

This is what Yun Zhongyue is like!

If it were the earth’s three treasures, what would happen?

An eye-roll plus a sarcastic remark would be par for the course.

Like that one sulking in the corner, with his dark face.

Tang Chuxia cleared her throat, "Little Taoist, if I give you a chance, it would be treating you as a fallback, would you still be happy?"

As soon as she said it, the elder butted in again, "What’s a fallback?"

Tang Chuxia sensed that the elder was truly at the forefront of gossip, it’s a pity he didn’t become a paparazzo.

Lin Qingchen also asked, "What is a fallback?"

That scholarly tone...

It just matched Lin Qingchen’s temperament very well.

Tang Chuxia thought for a moment and chose to explain frankly, "It means you’re not my first choice. If the earth’s three treasures in my heart don’t want to be pursued, then I’ll settle for Yun Zhongyue as my second choice. Would you still be willing to face such humiliation?"

Straightforward enough for both young and old to understand.

The elder drew out an "oh", "So, it means using him as a backup!"

Tang Chuxia: ... You really are a talent, elder, your explanation is even clearer than mine.

She believed these words were enough to make any man give up in anger, but clearly, she overestimated Lin Qingchen and underestimated her position in Lin Qingchen’s heart.

"Yes!"

Lin Qingchen uttered the word.

So gentle and lingering that it would make one’s heart flutter, but for Tang Chuxia, it didn’t.

She only sensed trouble.

She didn’t want to be heartless, but some people were less subtle than her.

"I think you might want to reconsider. You know what I mean, right?"

Tang Chuxia looked earnestly at Lin Qingchen, and Lin Qingchen nodded, "I understand, and I will wait until you come to me, no matter how you think of me!"

Tang Chuxia didn’t feel sweetness, only horror.

Just how strong must his heart be!

To tolerate such things?

Doesn’t he know what this implies?

Tang Chuxia suddenly thought of something Lin Qingchen had said earlier, and she squinted, scrutinizing Lin Qingchen.

Something isn’t quite right about him!

But she couldn’t continue, as there were sobbing noises around them!

Tang Chuxia looked up to see that a crowd had gathered around them, especially those young women and brides, all looking at Tang Chuxia with resentment, as if asking her why she was treating their idol this way?

Where’s the flaw in Lin Qingchen?

Tang Chuxia, how dare she?

Their gaze was too grieving, prompting a couple of dry laughs from Tang Chuxia, "Ladies, don’t misunderstand. It’s my giving up that could fulfill your admiration. The idol is yours as long as he’s single. Once he’s married, he’s beyond your dreams!"

A word to awaken the dreamers, making those anguished eyes disappear, replaced by tender gazes.

Tang Chuxia: ...

No need to be so realistic, right?

She too could put up a struggle.

Before she had time to reconsider, she was pushed aside, and Lin Qingchen was instantly surrounded, nearly knocking Tang Chuxia down if not for Gu Beihuai catching her.

"Earth’s three treasures?"

It was the same question again.

Tang Chuxia gritted her teeth.

"Yes, it’s you, Brother Beihuai. Could you be my earth’s three treasures?"

Gu Beihuai: "Earth’s three treasures?"

Tang Chuxia felt she just really wanted to eat the earth’s three treasures at that moment!

"Down to earth, so fitting with Brother Beihuai’s temperament!"

Gu Beihuai let out a string of cold laughs, "Then keep dreaming, I’m a dish you’ll never be worthy of!"

Tang Chuxia: ...

Why is he getting upset?

It’s just a metaphor!
