My Sister’s Male God has a Secret Crush on Me

Li Ying was stunned for a second, then raised his head to look at him.

After a while, he asked, “Why did you ask this all of a sudden?”

“No reason.” Jiang Yu took a bite of his meal and said vaguely, “I just asked casually.”

Seeing him earnestly picking up the rice, Li Ying glanced at him again, then lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

When the meal was almost finished, Li Ying went to the bathroom with an excuse and paid the bill first.

After he finished washing his hands and returned to the dining table, he saw the waiter standing in front of the table, telling Jiang Yu that the bill had already been settled.

Then Jiang Yu glanced at him and said, “You have already paid the bill?”

Li Ying hummed, Jiang Yu glanced at him, suddenly smiled, and said, “You are a bit like my cousin; he has been taking care of me like a child because he is two years older than me; every time we come out to play together, he wants to rush to pay.”

Li Ying sat down and took out a piece of paper, wiped his hands, and after hearing what he said, he also smiled: “It’s different; I didn’t treat you like a child.”

“I know.” Jiang Yu nodded and said casually, “You treat me as your classmate’s younger brother.”

Li Ying looked up at him; this look was very short, and Jiang Yu seemed to read a faint trace of helplessness from it.

After paying the bill, the two sat and drank tea for a while, during which time they didn’t talk much.

The table was quiet for a long time when Li Ying suddenly said, “He and I are doing as usual; there is no progress.”

It took Jiang Yu a while to realise who he was referring to by “she”.
(vv: in Chinese, he 他(tā) and she 她(tā), although with different strokes, sound the same when speaking. So while LY says “he”, you can’t actually predict whether he’s referring to a female or male unless the gender is specified by the person.

After a pause for a while, Li Ying looked out the window and took a sip of barley tea: “There should be no progress.”

“Why?” Jiang Yu subconsciously asked, “Why doesn’t she like you?”

Li Ying was silent for a moment, then looked at him and said, “It’s not a question of whether he likes me or not.”

“What’s the problem, then?” Jiang Yu didn’t understand. He felt that with Li Ying’s qualities, no one should not like him.

“What about you?” Li Ying asked without answering, “How are things going between you and—your classmate?”

Jiang Yu was still immersed in his own thoughts and asked casually, “Which classmate of mine?”

“…Chen Jingjing,” Li Ying said.

Hearing this, Jiang Yu laughed. He found that every time he heard Li Ying say the name Chen Jingjing, it was quite amusing. It was like pronouncing a very strange name—a bit awkward.

“There’s nothing, “Jiang Yu lazily replied.

After being silent for a long time, Li Ying asked again: “Why did you disagree to be with her? She has a good personality and appearance.”

“I didn’t disagree.” Jiang Yu explained.

After all, Chen Jingjing is a girl, and also his friend. Jiang Yu pondered for a while: “Didn’t you realise that her personality is a bit like my sister’s?”

Li Ying heard this and really thought about it for a while, then smiled and said, “It seems a bit.”

The two left the restaurant. Before parting, Jiang Yu remembered Jiang Meng’s advice and paved the way for himself.

“When you come to Jiangzhou, I will take you to play in the future.” Jiang Yu said, “I am familiar with this place; I can feel it clearly with my eyes closed.”

“Ok.” Li Ying said with a smile, and after a while he added, “Then I’ll wait for you.”

……

Although Jiang Yu said that he wanted to play with Li Ying, in fact Jiang Meng was not watching, so he turned his head and forgot about the plan.

In the second half of their sophomore year, they had a lot of professional courses and they had to do researches. Jiang Yu also played basketball and games. Every day was very fulfilling and busy.

After lunch that day, Jiang Meng got up and poured a glass of water. When passing by Li Ying’s desk, she happened to see him take out his mobile phone and click into WeChat.

So Jiang Meng deliberately slowed down, glanced secretly, and saw him open Jiang Yu’s dialogue box. However, he quickly backed out and put down his phone, as if he were just checking.

Jiang Meng is very familiar with this action. Her heart used to pound for someone in high school, and she looked like this when she was looking forward to receiving messages from her favourite senior. To be precise, she used to pick up her phone and check it twice. In fact, the senior didn’t contact her much.

Later, she felt that this was too distracting for her studies, so she simply deleted the senior’s contact. Later, the other party asked her why she deleted his contact.

Jiang Meng returned to the table, took out her mobile phone, and sent Jiang Yu a WeChat message.

[Jiang Meng: Have you contacted Li Ying recently?]

Jiang Yu’s reply came back after a long time.

[Jiang Yu: Yeah.]

[Jiang Meng: When did you contact?]

[Jiang Yu:…]

[Jiang Meng: Did you take care of what I told you?]

[Jiang Meng: Forget it.]

[Jiang Meng: Since you can’t do it, please return me the money I gave you as compensation.]

[Jiang Meng: I don’t want your help anymore.]

[Jiang Yu:…]

……

After class that afternoon, Jiang Yu rejected Li Wenhao’s invitation to play games and bought a few cups of milk tea to find Jiang Meng.

When he arrived, Jiang Meng was not there, so Jiang Yu had no choice but to contact Li Ying and ask him to come down to pick him up.

It was still a bit chilly now, and Li Ying was wearing a windbreaker, making him even more handsome and upright.

Seeing the milk tea in Jiang Yu’s hand, Li Ying smiled and asked, “Did you come here to deliver milk tea to your sister?”

Li Ying stood inside to swipe the card for him, and Jiang Yu walked in: “No, she is not my sister.”

The two stood in front of the elevator; Li Ying pressed the up button, and Jiang Yu continued to finish the sentence: “She is my ancestor.”

The mirror of the elevator reflected the figures of the two standing side by side. Jiang Yu saw Li Ying in the mirror, and the latter smiled.

Sure enough, handsome people look even better when they smile. Jiang Yu couldn’t help but look sideways.

Seeing this, Li Ying thought that he had something to say to him and turned his head to look at Jiang Yu.

The corner of his mouth was still curled up, and his smile didn’t fade away.

“You look handsome when you smile.” Jiang Yu said.

Li Ying’s smile faded a little, and his eyes fixed on him.

Looking at each other for a while, Jiang Yu felt a little strange and blinked: “What’s the matter?”

At this moment, the elevator had just reached the first floor. Li Ying slightly pursed his lips and looked away.

The two walked out of the elevator. Li Ying coughed lightly and glanced down: “Is there any milk tea for me?”

“Of course.” Jiang Yu took out one of the cups and gave it to him, “It’s the flavour you like; did I remember right?”

“You remember right.” Li Ying took the milk tea and smiled lightly; the corners of his mouth were not obvious, but his eyes were shining brightly.

Jiang Meng was not in the office, so Li Ying distributed the milk tea to several colleagues for Jiang Yu and explained to everyone one by one, “This is what Jiang Meng’s younger brother bought for everyone to drink.”

Everyone thanked Jiang Yu a few times. Jiang Yu waved his hands and was about to sit down at Jiang Meng’s desk when Li Ying walked over.

“Jiang Meng may not come back for a while.” Li Ying said, “Do you want to play games? My computer can run games.”

Jiang Yu thought about it and felt that this kind of thing was too troublesome for Li Ying, so he pointed to Jiang Meng’s computer and said, “I’ll use Jiang Meng’s.”

Li Yingwei pondered for a while: “She is not here; the computer may be locked, so as to prevent important files from being accidentally deleted.”

“It’s okay.” Jiang Yu said.

When Li Ying spoke, he had already turned on Jiang Meng’s computer: “Let’s just ask her for the password.”

Sure enough, the computer needed a password. Jiang Yu directly called Jiang Meng, turned on the speaker, and put the phone on the table.

When the call was connected, Jiang Yu had already put his fingers on the keyboard: “What is your computer password?”

Jiang Meng paused for a moment, then said, “Leave it; don’t touch my computer; I have many important things on it.”

Jiang Yu: “…If I use your computer, will your stuff evaporate or what?”

Jiang Meng didn’t know he had turned on the speaker and asked directly, “Did I invite you to play on the computer? I invited you to go…”

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Yu quickly cut off the call, afraid that she might say something that shouldn’t be said.

Then he turned his head to look at Li Ying; the latter listened to the whole process, raised his eyes to meet his gaze, but only smiled faintly: “So your sister is so fierce to you.”

“…It’s just fine.” Jiang Yu murmured.

In the end, Jiang Yu sat in Li Ying’s seat, and the latter brought him an earphone, while he himself sat on the opposite colleague’s desk.

At this point in time, everyone had already left one after another, and after a while, only Jiang Yu and Li Ying were left in the entire office.

Jiang Yu took a look. Li Ying was writing something on the opposite side. Looking from under the computer, Jiang Yu could just see the other hand holding the pen.

Seeing him write a few words on the notebook, Jiang Yu raised his hand and twirled the pen.

Unexpectedly, the Gaoling flower male god would take such small actions, Jiang Yu thought to himself. For the first time, he discovered that he liked pretty hands a little bit—at least, he liked Li Ying’s hands very much—and even wanted to touch them a little.

After playing a few games, the sky gradually darkened. Jiang Yu took out his phone and looked at it; Jiang Meng hadn’t come back yet.

Originally, he was thinking of waiting for Jiang Meng to go back to eat together. Seeing that it was almost 7 o’clock, Jiang Yu stretched his waist and quit the game. Then he remembered that Li Ying was still there.

Seeing the end of his side, Li Ying came over and asked, “Are you done playing?”

“En.” Jiang Yu asked, “Why didn’t you call me?”

“I happened to have work to do.” Li Ying asked, “Are you hungry?”

“A bit.” Jiang Yu raised his eyes and asked, “Do you still need to use the computer? If you don’t want to use it, I will turn it off.”

“Yeah, turn it off.” Li Ying said.

After he finished turning off the computer, Li Ying checked the office, then turned off the lights, locked the door, and walked out.

At this time, their office building on this floor was empty. The two stood quietly in the aisle, waiting for the elevator. Jiang Yu rubbed his neck, thinking about whether to invite Li Ying to his restaurant for dinner.

Not long after, there was a “ding” sound, the elevator door opened, and the two walked in one after the other. Li Ying pressed the down button.

The elevator didn’t respond; Li Ying pressed it again, but there was still no response. He tried pressing the other floors, but there was still no response.

Just as he was about to press the start button again, the elevator under his feet suddenly moved, and then his eyes went dark, and his whole body was plunged into darkness.

Jiang Yu’s heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously grabbed Li Ying, who was beside him, and the next second the latter grabbed his wrist.

“Elevator malfunction?” Jiang Yu subconsciously asked.

“En, it’s okay.” Li Ying held his hand and leaned against the inner wall of the elevator.

Then he took a quick step forward and pressed the emergency alarm in the elevator.

As expected, there was no response.

At this time, Jiang Yu had already fished out his mobile phone with the other hand; fortunately, there was a signal.

He immediately called Jiang Meng.

The phone rang continuously for a while, then hung up automatically after no one answered.

Fortunately, Li Ying dialed, and their dormitory was nearby. After he told the situation to his classmates, the classmates were already on their way. He also contacted the real estate company on the road.

There was no sign of the elevator falling. The two were holding each other’s hands in one hand and clutching the handrail tightly with the other. They were not too nervous.

Probably because the accident came too suddenly and the most troublesome thing had been solved right now, the two of them stayed quietly; no one made a sound.

Jiang Yu felt that the palm of Li Ying holding his wrist was a little hot, and the touch between the skin was particularly obvious.

Although there was no light inside, Jiang Yu still turned his head and looked at Li Ying based on his feeling: “Your hands are a little hot.”

In the quiet darkness, the voice that reached his ears showed a sense of presence.

After saying this, Jiang Yu felt Li Ying’s hand move and then slightly relaxed the strength of his palm.

After two seconds, Li Ying said in a low voice, “You hold the handrail tightly.”

Then he let go of his hand.

Just when Li Ying was about to put his hand on the handrail, a hand fumbled over, first touching his fingers, then Jiang Yu held a few of his fingers in the dark, groped up, and grabbed his wrist.

His palm was a little hotter than his wrist.

“Don’t be afraid; I’ll protect you.” Jiang Yu said it with a smile. He thought that Lu Ying was nervous, and he seemed to be trying to adjust to the atmosphere.

After a while, he heard Lu Ying reply, “Ok.”

For some reason, his voice sounded a little deep and hoarse.

Xiao Ying, c’mon, the opportunity is here!
