Chapter 22: Misconceptions

  Won't it? He Ming's expression was complex, and He Xiaoqian revealed a mysterious smile, as if she had seen the conflict in He Ming's heart. She puckered up her red lips, forming an enticing lip shape.

  He Ming's heart was racing, and he wanted to ask what she was going to do. He Xiaoqian suddenly kissed He Ming on the face.

  He felt the softness of those lips and let out a sigh, it was both stimulating and disappointing.

  He Xiaoqian saw He Ming's emotions and said coquettishly: "Brother, do you want me to kiss you?"

  He Ming gritted his teeth and stared at his cousin, who was shaking his arm while talking. Her chest was much bigger than her second sister's. If she hadn't been wearing a down jacket, He Ming could have seen the waves.

  She no longer felt shy due to the sense of unfamiliarity, and her whole person was lively and lovely. He Ming could also feel that his cousin's personality had become more enthusiastic than before.

  He Ming shifted his target, let go of Biao Mei and said: "Come on, come on, try it, Chanel's haute couture."

  "Too good, too beautiful!" He Xiaoqian had been looking at many high-end luxury goods with excitement for a long time, and the room was very warm. She was wearing down jacket and had already sweated.

  He Ming opened the closet of his second sister, and all kinds of high-end women's clothing, sweaters, pants, leather shoes, etc. were taken out. Each piece here is worth tens of thousands, and the total value of the clothes in the closet is 15 million or more.

  He Ming spent over 5 million, the Lin siblings spent around 7-8 million, gave Dad cigarettes and wine, luxury goods for men, clothes, watches, etc. totaling over 1 million, the remaining 3 million was all spent by women, second sister spent the most, around 1.5 million, the rest was split between He's mom and big sister.

  However, He Ming felt that the amount was still small, and he had already decided to travel abroad in a few days. The first stop would be Maldives, where the local weather was warm, just right for escaping the harsh winter. Then, he would sweep through major international cities, which would also make it convenient for him to find treasures and get rich. After all, the hidden treasures and good things in major cities were absolutely better than those in Marlan City.

  He Xiaoqian was excitedly changing clothes, He Ming was watching the process with a smile, and his little brother felt like he was going to get an erection again, and couldn't help but bitterly laugh.

  After spending a considerable amount of time, He Xiaoqian finished changing her clothes. From head to toe, she was dressed in high-end attire, making her look even more beautiful. She repeatedly admired herself in the mirror, and indeed looked stunning.

  Then she ran over and threw herself into He Ming's arms, saying: "Brother, you're too good, thank you. But this is sister's thing, will she be angry if I take it?"

  He Mingdao said: "It doesn't matter, tomorrow we'll go shopping in Songjiang. You can come with us and make it up to Er Jie then. Whatever you want, just buy it."

  "Going to Songjiang for shopping? That's great, I've never been to Songjiang. I heard it's super developed and prosperous!" He Xiaoqian was excited, and then she leaned in close to He Ming's ear, coquettishly saying: "Good brother, that's great, you're so good to me. I don't have anything to repay you with, only my body. Do you want me to kiss you first?" As she said this, she leaned in wanting to kiss He Ming.

  He Ming was breathing in the top-notch perfume that had just been sprayed on his sister's body, as well as her delicate and innocent face, it was unbearable.

  It's as painful as a cat smelling fish but being unable to eat it.

  Ahhhhhh! He Ming rubbed his face against his cousin's with all his might, feeling that his little brother had already woken up in the midst of rubbing against his cousin's youthful body, it was truly too painful.

  At this moment, the door was opened and a young woman dressed in high-end Italian leather shoes worth tens of thousands of dollars walked in. She happened to see He Ming like that and said, "Son, what are you doing? Isn't that Xiao Qian? What's with the hug? I'm busy, come help me."

  Young He's mother was busy and sweating all over, she pulled He Ming over and walked downstairs to help her. He Ming took his cousin's hand, and the three of them walked down together, hand in hand.

  "What are you doing, mom?"

  "You'll know when you get there."

  He Ming went downstairs and found that there were fewer relatives in the big villa, but more than a dozen large round tables and chairs had been placed at the entrance of the big villa. They were all borrowed casually, and four big chefs were busy running around.

  "What's wrong with you, He Ming? I'm exhausted! This year, we couldn't get a reservation for New Year's Day, so we had to hire some expensive chefs. Your father went all around buying all sorts of seafood and good dishes. And you, you little stinker, are in your room hugging your sister. And that lazybones Ah Fang is also in your room surfing the internet. We're all about to collapse from exhaustion!"

  He Ming also saw his second sister He Fang, who was reluctantly repeating the Lamborghini, relatives, especially young people, all came up to try it out and took photos with their mobile phones.

  He Fang saw He Ming and them, then got off the bus and ran over.

  He Fang saw He Xiaoqian beside He Ming, and revealed a warm and ambiguous smile. "Isn't this my thing? You've given it all to your little lover. It's really 'having a lover and forgetting one's sister'. In the morning, you picked up a little Yun, and in the afternoon, you rekindled an old flame. You're amazing, little brother, a true Casanova!"

  He Xiaoxian blushed and said: "Sister is good."

  He Fang pulled her over, took a close look at her and said: "Not bad, you're pretty now, come on, let's go open the Lamborghini with sister."

  He Xiaoqian turned her head to look at He Ming, and He Ming nodded: "Go. I'll go help mom too."

  He Fang and the others got into the Lamborghini, He Ming turned his head to go help his mother, but saw a huge red Hummer H1, rampaging on the lawn on one side, the imported lawn was completely destroyed. He walked over to take a look, who else could the driver be besides the arrogant Xiao Tuo Ran? There were also several young people having a wild party in the car. One of them was a black fat man, He Long Hao.

  It's clear that Situ Haoran likes He Longhao, not only because their names both have the character "Hao", but also because they both have greedy personalities. When they see something good, they want it, and are slaves to money.

  He Ming sighed and went back to help. By one o'clock in the afternoon, they could finally eat.

  The dinner party was even more lively because they were almost all related by blood and naturally there was no feeling of strangers.

  Even after more than a decade of not seeing each other, an old man wearing tattered clothes and having yellow teeth, who was too afraid to enter the luxurious villa, still respectfully called out "Second Grandfather" and presented him with a 10,000 yuan red envelope. The old man was shocked and repeatedly said he had never seen so much money before, causing the surrounding relatives to burst into loud laughter.

  It's okay, although the bank is closed, I still borrowed 500,000 cash from a friend and then transferred 510,000 to someone else. Having money makes things easier.

  He Dabao is a romantic by nature, no, impulsive, so today he was particularly excited, particularly powerful. He distributed all kinds of top-grade cigarettes, foreign wine, and red wine that He Ming had bought, and opened them to drink. Then he also gave his brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts thousands or even tens of thousands of red envelopes.

  An hour later, He Ming returned to his own dinner table. He was a bit drunk but very hungry, and he ate as much as he could. Sitting next to him were Da Jie, He Longhao, and several other boys and girls.

  The boys and girls around He Longhao shouted: "He Ming brother, you gave Longhao an Apple phone, why don't we have one? We want it too!"

  He Longhao said with a smile, "My sister is He Mingge's wife, so I am He Mingge's brother-in-law. That's why you shouldn't think about it anymore. The generation gap is too big, there's no hope."

  He Ming spat out the food he was eating and his face turned red: "Little fatty, what are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense, we're relatives, how can relatives fall in love? It's not allowed by law!"

  He Longhao said inexplicably: "Isn't Third Grandfather married to his cousin? And not even a biological one, He Ming brother, what are you afraid of?"

  "Right, right! What's there to be afraid of? Brother He Ming, quickly give us an Apple phone and a tablet computer. A laptop is fine too."

  He Ming didn't know why he was so happy, although he knew that San Ye was an old man from before the liberation and at that time they were all illiterate, no one cared about it then. But now it's different, however, these relatives of his were all mixed up after dropping out of middle school, almost none of them went to high school, He Xiaoqian also attended junior high for a year and then dropped out in the second year.

  He Ming was admitted to university that year, which caused a sensation among his relatives, who thought it was as difficult as becoming a jinshi (a high-ranking scholar in the imperial examination system), but now university students are as common as hairs on an ox.

  So they weren't surprised to see He Ming dating his own cousin, and He Ming was overjoyed: "Great, great, I have everything now! Next stop is the Apple Store in town to buy an iPhone!"

  But to be honest, He Ming was also very distressed in his heart. Even if everyone accepted it, he couldn't accept it himself. His sister was just his sister after all, and he was a man who adhered to the moral code of "a gentleman's sword is not for the masses". It was a matter of morality, not physicality, although perhaps it was also a matter of pretence.

  Moreover, marrying a cousin makes it difficult for the next generation to be normal. Otherwise, at 20 years old, they would still be shouting "Mom, I want milk!" Or else they would be like a certain head of state, saying "Hey, comrades!"

  After drinking too much, He Ming easily got carried away with his thoughts. Suddenly, the older sister next to him whispered: "Where's Ying Yang? Why hasn't he appeared?"

  "He went back, maybe tonight or tomorrow he'll be back to normal, but I think he'll be back tonight, he still wants to practice the frog skill with me." He Ming said while eating.

  "Hey, by the way, is Ying Yang ge married?"

  He Ming nodded naturally, "Of course he's married, a big shot like him, over 30 years old and still not married? He's not that old bachelor Xue Hu."

  He Ming had drunk a lot of wine and didn't notice that He Bing's face turned pale for a moment, and she fell silent.

  He Ming didn't mind, at this time, He Longhao excitedly said: "Brother He Ming, your girl is back!"

  He understood him at a glance, how are you talking? What's my girl. However, he turned his head to see a pure and lovely girl standing behind him, then He Longhao tactfully gave up his seat to his sister.

  "Brother, you've had quite a bit to drink. Be careful with your body." He Xiaoqian said gently, and He Ming nodded repeatedly, asking: "Your younger brother, and they all think that you are my girlfriend, what's going on?"

  He Xiaoqian's face turned red as she said, "Brother, don't you want to?"

  "This expression is too damaging, He Ming kept drinking beverages to calm his mood and said: 'Of course I thought about it, but after all, we are relatives. Relatives can't get married.'"

  He Xiaoqian's eyes became sorrowful, and she said: "It seems that brother doesn't like me. In our countryside, there are also marriages between cousins. Or exchange a sister for another wife to come back. There is no way, we are too poor, only this can be done."

  Lover's tears are sulfuric acid. He Ming's heart ached as he grasped his cousin's hand, saying: "Little sister, I super like you! But even if we get married and have kids, they'll have congenital defects!"

  He Xiaqian smiled and said, "Dumb brother, that's not good enough. Brother has money now, find a few more girlfriends to have children with them, I'll be satisfied being your wife."

  He was stunned for a while, then his mind cleared up and he somewhat understood. Because the country had been developing its economy under the siege of international hostile forces, and encouraged childbirth (parallel world). As a result, Grandpa He from the He family had eight children.

  Individuals, uncles and elders had many more children, so everyone was very poor, the economy was extremely backward, and the average annual income per person was only a few thousand yuan. He Ming still thought that his father's tens of thousands of yuan per year were already very little, but he didn't expect that most of his relatives would have only a few

  A thousand yuan income.

  Many relatives wore down jackets that were bought on the road for less than 100 yuan. I guess they saw He Ming showing off yesterday, and after discussing with He's father, they came together to see him, just to find some excuse to get some benefits.

  So, He Ming used his modern civilized ideas to understand a group of extremely poor people who were semi-illiterate, which was somewhat foolish.

  What he was worried about didn't actually exist. That's why in the past, sometimes He Ming and his sisters slept on the same bed, Second Sister held onto He Ming's thing, causing him to have a wet dream, but He Mom didn't think it was a big deal, just asking them not to mess around, while He Dad smiled and said, "My son is growing up!"

  It's no wonder that when life is tough, people still think about all sorts of moral etiquette. That's why in college, a girl said to He Ming:

  He Ming, did you know that you have a kind of immortal and transcendent aura about you?

  He Ming didn't notice the sentence behind, because He Ming hated this sentence the most, you know?

  How the hell do you know I don't know? What makes you say that, huh?

  I'll spit in your face!

  He Ming finally sobered up a bit, but soon returned to his original state. He patted his cousin's face and rubbed it, saying: "Your skin is really good, haha, I'm drunk, I need to rest for a while."

  After finishing speaking, He Ming felt that he really couldn't go on, so he went upstairs and found his own bedroom to sleep.

  He didn't notice that He Xiaoqian followed him into the room, helped him take off his shoes, covered him with a quilt, and then took off her coat, pants, and sweater, getting in and hugging He Ming.

  Her eyes flowed with movement, making even the unfeeling people feel beautiful. Then she lightly kissed him, and when He Ming was asleep, his first kiss was lost.

  He Ming woke up at 3 pm, and he felt like he was holding something. Then he saw his cousin, who had her eyes closed, sleeping like a child, with soft eyelashes and red lips. He Ming suddenly laughed silently. The person he had yearned for so much was lying in his arms, sleeping under the same blanket?

  He Ming looked at her quietly for a long time, and the painful feelings finally subsided. If we can't be in love, then let's just be together like siblings, so I can see you every day without feeling pain.

  Because it comes from the heart, true feelings are incurable and can only be forgotten in silence, or else one must throw caution to the wind, even changing their personality.

  He Ming is fond of psychology and labels himself as rational. However, he cannot shake off the longing for love from his heart.

  He couldn't bear it anymore, he thought repeatedly, between reason and morality, the roar of crazy and painful emotions, he finally took off the self-proclaimed life persistence of Mr. Yue Buqun, a gentleman sword, and lightly kissed the red lips under his delicate nose.

  That feeling is so great, my heart is racing wildly.

  He Ming reluctantly ended the stealthy kiss, quietly got out of bed, picked up his shoes and only put them on outside the door. His cousin must be very tired, so he let her continue to rest; if he stayed any longer, he wouldn't be able to control himself.

  He Ming walked out and closed the door, He Xiaoqian opened her eyes and smiled lightly: "Stupid brother-in-law, no courage at all. Others are still looking forward to it."

  What should I do, He Ming was worried. Came to his parents' bedroom, pushed the door in, but quickly retreated, oh my god, there were seven or eight female relatives sleeping on the big bed in this bedroom. Then found He's mother through a phone call in a guest room.

  "Mom, what do you think about me and Xiao Qian? Isn't it very immoral?" He Ming said with a gloomy face.

  He's mother thought He Ming had something big to tell her over the phone, so she stuck her head out of the quilt and said: "I'm going to sleep. You have time to go take care of your father, he's still drinking with others. As for you and Xiao Qian, it's not a big deal, just marry her if you like."

  He Ming was shocked and said: "That's my cousin!"

  "What's with the cousin thing? Which cousin, your real cousin just looked for you and you brushed them off. Son, today we have over 130 relatives coming, and there are still people calling to say they're on their way. He Xiaoqian is a distant relative, and nobody can quite place her, I'm not even clear if she's your cousin or something else."

  "What a fool you are! If only you had spoken up earlier, your father would have introduced you to someone after you graduated from college. You can marry her if you like."

  He Ming was almost in tears, never expecting it to be like this.

  "He angrily said: 'Then why didn't you take me to see my cousin all these six years when I kept asking?'"

  "What, your dad didn't take you there? To see your cousin, and you didn't say which one. If it wasn't for Little Fatty telling everyone today, we wouldn't have known. You should express what you want more often, so we won't misunderstand."

  He Ming was so shocked and amused that he couldn't help but cry and laugh at the same time. He never thought that for the past six years, he had been living in his own world.

  "Mom, take a rest."

  He Ming walked out of the door and sat on the steps of the villa, staring blankly at the chaotic scene before him. The ground was littered with trash, empty wine bottles, cigarette butts, and tables still had leftover food and drinks. Relatives who were watching from a distance cheered loudly.

  Heard Dad's voice too.

  He Ming turned his gaze downward, and right in front of him was a bottle of Maotai liquor.

  "A good beginning makes a good ending!" He Ming muttered to himself: "If that's the case, I really will marry He Xiaoqian! Hahahahaha!"

  "Brother, what are you laughing at?"

  Happy moments always have a second brush to disturb them.

  This time there are two Erhu players who have drunk too much, one is Sito Ho Yan and the other is He Longhao.

  Two men, one handsome and one dark-skinned but both with a playful smile, sat down beside He Ming, each placing their hands on him with an air of arrogance.

  "Sister, what's so funny? Share it with us and let's be sad together."

  "He Longhao said: 'Brother, what's wrong? Tell us and let's cheer you up.'"

  He Ming was speechless, touched the magical glasses in front of his chest and looked at his watch 3:22. It's time to go treasure hunting.

  Let's talk about something valuable, time is too tight, He Ming has to go to Songjiang for a big shopping spree tomorrow, just in time to bring some good stuff to sell.

  "By the way, Haoran, do you still remember where your dad's yellow rosewood cane was put?"

  "Does my dad have a cane?"

  He Ming was speechless. Although Situ Haoran's physical condition had recovered, his memory would never be regained. The wild and precipitous mountains, the eighty-eight steps, had become an eternal mystery.

  "I'm leaving first, you guys play slowly." He Ming got up, took a backpack, and was ready to make a fortune again.

  When he got up, He Ming smiled and thought to himself that all these years, he had been asking for trouble. If not, he would have gotten his cousin's phone number long ago and contacted her every day to talk about love, and he wouldn't be lonely watching AV actresses like Aoi Sora, thinking about romantic adult videos all day.
