Reborn with an Old Enemy on the Day of our Marriage

Chen ShiYi could hear Zheng PingQing busy himself in the kitchen. From time to time, she could also hear Lin Qian's voice, and although Zheng PingQing spouted some threatening words towards Lin Qian, Chen ShiYi could tell they were just teasing.

But a terrified Chen ShiYi didn't dare assume that they actually got along with each other.

Chen ShiYi clearly remembered that time during summer vacation when Zheng PingQing abruptly flipped a table over. She got so scared; she almost had a heart attack! Chen ShiYi never imagined that the two would suddenly become friends after just one semester.

Young people nowadays are so unpredictable, ah!

"Teacher Lin-" Zhang PingQing came out of the kitchen with a knife in his hand, shouting for Lin YaZhi. But then, he went silent.

He saw Lin YaZhi sitting on the rug, dismantling the house model he had given to Lin Qian. He looked just like those brats who destroy the hand-made decorations you see when you visit relatives during the new year's, commonly known as bear children.

As soon as Lin YaZhi noticed Zheng PingQing's gaze, he straightened his back. "I'll put it back later."

Then Lin YaZhi said: "Also, don't call me teacher at home. Call me uncle."

Zheng PingQing readily followed his request. "Uncle Lin, do you have any Sichuan pepper oil at home?"

Lin YaZhi tilted his head. "What's pepper oil?"

Zheng PingQing wasn't the least bit surprised by his answer. "I shouldn't have expected you to know. I'll go downstairs and buy some."

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Lin YaZhi was puzzled. "Ah? Who could that be?"

Since Zheng PingQing was standing closest to the front door, he went to open it.

On the other side of the door stood a tall girl. She was delicate a pretty, and had somewhat similar looks to Lin Qian, thought she looked a lot more severe. Her long hair was tied up into a braid, and coupled with her tall height, she looked oppressive. While pulling a pink suitcase with one hand, she pressed the doorbell again with the other. Impatience on her face, she said: "It's broad daylight, why did you open the door with the chain lock still on? Are you afraid some thief will ring the doorbell and drop by for a visit?"

But when she finally saw the door fully open, she saw someone she had never expected to see. It was a boy with deep features and tall stature. Someone she recognized, but who she was barely familiar with.

It was her brother's nemesis.

It was someone who often made trouble in Lin YaZhi's class.

And this person was now in her home, holding a kitchen knife.

Shao SiJia: !!!!!! Fuck! A knife attack?!

"Zheng PingQing, you've got guts, coming into my home to kill!" Shao SiJia's eyes widened, and in an instant, she raised her leg and kicked. With an astonishing momentum, she aimed her kick towards Zheng PingQing's chest. "Let me put an end to your dog life today!"

Zheng PingQing had never anticipated an attack as soon as he opened the door. He hadn't even opened his mouth yet, but he was already about to be murdered. Very much alarmed, Zheng PingQing moved back and shouted: "Big Sister, calm down!"

But Shao SiJia's brain had already conjured up a dog-blood plot with her brother as the victim. Furious, she disregarded Zheng PingQing's words and yelled: "Calling me big sister, or even mother, is useless! Whoever bullies my brother will die-"

"SiJia, stop!" Lin YaZhi jumped up and was almost scared to death at the scene in front of him. Shao SiJia was about to kick Zheng PingQing right at his chin.

Alas, when his previous wife said that they should send their daughter to learn taekwondo, he agreed, thinking it would be a good thing. After all, he couldn't accompany his daughter everywhere, so learning a few self-defense skills would make him feel more at ease.

Who knew that it would become the direct cause for his daughter's social instability.

But somehow, things didn't devolve into the chaos Lin YaZhi had expected.

Lin Qian had rushed out of the kitchen and frightened at the situation, shouted: “Shao SiJia, halt!”

Fortunately, Shao SiJia’s training instructor was strict with his drills. When Shao SiJia heard Lin Qian’s words, she automatically stopped, her foot inches from Zheng PingQing’s chin.

Zheng PingQing felt like his heart broke out his chest. Feeling like his face was throbbing, Zheng PingQing took a deep breath and said: “Big Sister, let’s talk about this. When you hit people, can you not immediately aim for their face? It’s not easy to be this handsome.”

Shao SiJia ignored him and looked around the room instead. After seeing all the frightened faces around her, it seems that the situation…wasn't the bloodbath she had imagined it to be. With a frown, she asked: "What's going on? Why is he here?"

Lin YaZhi laughed nervously and said: "Oh, didn't I tell you over the phone? Auntie ShiYi's son will also be here."

Shocked, Shao SiJia looked at Zheng PingQing. "It's him?"

At Lin YaZhi nod, Shao SiJia suddenly realized something. She turned back towards Zheng PingQing and said: "I wondered why you were always targeting my brother. So it was because of this!"

Zheng PingQing: "….." Shit, can we stop talking about my dark past!

Shao SiJia continued to look at Zheng PingQing and warily glanced at the kitchen knife he was holding. "Then what are you doing with that knife? Are you really not planning on murdering someone?"

Zheng PingQing: "….."

Others: "……"

Zheng PingQing was momentarily speechless. "Big sister, this is a kitchen knife. I was cooking."

Shao SiJia: "…..?"

Still somewhat baffled at the situation, Shao SiJia turned towards Lin Qian. "Brother, you tell me, did he just say something unbelievable, or was it me who heard him wrong?"

Lin Qian raised the chicken leg that he hadn't had the time to put down. "Sister, we're going to make spicy chicken. He was just cutting the chicken."

Shao SiJia's frown deepened. She crossed her arm and solemnly said: "Ah Qian, isn't there something weird with this scene? I remember that before I left for university, the situation wasn't like this."

In the back, Chen ShiYi silently nodded in her heart. Yes, yes, you're right!

From the moment she and Lin YaZhi married, this was the first time she had felt so gratified by Shao SiJia's appearance.

Finally, someone was thinking the same way as her! At last, she wasn't the only one who was stunned!

But Shao SiJia's ability to accept things were clearly much better than hers. After listening to Lin Qian's brief explanation, she nonchalantly patted Zheng PingQing on the shoulder. "So the situation was like this. You should've told me earlier. Then I wouldn't have tried to beat you up for Ah Qian."

Zheng PingQing: "……"

Shao SiJia glanced at the two adults standing on the side and said to Zheng PingQing. "You can put the knife down now. I'm glad you're here. After all, the thousand faults of the adults have nothing to do with us children."

Lin YaZhi: "……"

Chen ShiYi: "….."

Lin YaZhi stammered: "SiJia, ah…"

Shao SiJia rolled her eyes. "What? Want to explain? Too bad, I'm not going to listen."

Shao SiJia coldly turned away from Lin YaZhi and went to pat Zheng PingQing one more time. "Okay, any friend of Ah Qian is my friend, and any brother of Ah Qian is my brother. You can rely on big sister in the future."

It's still unknown whether Zheng PingQing could really rely on Shao SiJia in the future, but one thing he was definitely sure of was that if Shao SiJia patted him one more time, his shoulder bone would disintegrate.

He quietly avoided her palm and replied: "Thank you."

Shao SiJia sighed and shook her head. "Another victim of a broken family. Big sister understands."

Zheng PingQing: "….." He wanted to nod and please Shao SiJia, but he didn't dare to, because father-in-law, the other person he needed to please, was also watching.

Successfully obtaining the approval of his boyfriend's family sure isn't easy, ah.

Chen ShiYi, who had just been comforted a few minutes ago, was once again stunned by the abrupt change in the plot.

She only blinked once, and suddenly Shao SiJia, who had been in the 'shocked' camp with her, was talking and laughing with Zheng PingQing. And not only did she offer to be his sister, but she also condemned the parents in the same breath?

Aren't these youngsters a little too adaptive?

Chen ShiYi really wanted to hear the Great Compassion Mantra again.

After getting the gist of the situation, Shao SiJia took one last look around the room then clapped her hands. "Alright. Since everything's okay, I'll go to my room and wash up. Afterward, we can eat."

She then took her pink suitcase and walked out of the room, leaving everyone else to look at each other.

Lin Qian went back into the kitchen to wash his hands, then said to Zheng PingQing: "You continue to cook, I'll go check on Shao SiJia."

Zheng PingQing nodded, then said to Chen ShiYi: "Then help me buy a bottle of Sichuan pepper oil."

Chen ShiYi nodded with an expressionless face. The wind outside will probably help cool off her overloaded head.

……

Lin Qian knocked on Shao SiJia's door. After hearing her say 'come in,' he pushed the door open and saw Shao SiJia making her bed.

Lin Qian closed the door and sat on the chair next to her desk. After thinking for a bit, he said: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't be able to come back because you were interning at your boyfriend's company?"

Truthfully, Lin Qian had roughly guessed the reason for Shao SiJia's sudden return. In his last life, Shao SiJia split up with her boyfriend around this time. But in their previous life, the Lin family was still in such a mess. Lin Qian and Lin YaZhi had been too hung up with their fractured relationship that they didn't notice Shao SiJia's breakup. They only heard about Shao SiJia's boyfriend cheating on her afterward. Shao SiJia didn't tell them and stayed in university, only coming back home during the new years.

Back then, Shao SiJia choosing to stay away was probably half due to being upset at their family's circumstances and half due to her own hurt emotions.

Sure enough, as Shao SiJia shook her quilt, she dismissively said: "We broke up. The asshole was cheating."

Lin Qian took a deep breath and asked: "Is he still alive?"

Shao SiJia succinctly replied: "He'll be discharged from the hospital this weekend."

Lin Qian nodded. As expected, Shao SiJia's way of doing things hadn't changed one bit.

Lin Qian rubbed his fingers. "Is he bothering you? Zheng PingQing's from a pretty wealthy family. If he sues you, we can ask Zheng PingQing….?"

Shao SiJia glanced at Lin Qian, a strange look in her eyes. "You seem to have a pretty good relationship with Zheng PingQing."

Shao SiJia knew her younger brother well. He was a person who didn't like asking people for favors. Even towards little Xu Yao, Lin Qian wouldn't ask for help until he absolutely had to.

But just now, Lin Qian said that they could rely on Zheng PingQing. Even if she ignored the fact that Zheng PingQing's family had the resources to help, this level of trust was definitely not something Lin Qian's ordinary friends could enjoy.

His words showed an easy familiarity, abundant trust, and a fair amount of dependence.

Lin Qian didn't try to conceal things. "Un, really good."

Shao SiJia chuckled with interest. "Well, alright. I won't hesitate to ask him if I ever need his help."

Lin Qian smiled. "You don't think you'll need help this time?"

Shao SiJia gave him a sly wink. "It's just a cheating slag of a man. I can handle something like that, no problem."

She then wrinkled her nose. With a slightly lowered voice, she said: "I waited for him to be alone, found a place without any cameras, then shoved him in a big sack. I beat him up, but I also lured his mistress' older brother to come afterward. That slag man thinks it was the older brother who assaulted him."

Lin Qian: "……" He was wrong; Shao SiJia had upgraded.

How come he was actually feeling a little pity towards that cheating jerk?

Shao SiJia continued: "Afterward, I went to visit him in the hospital. I put on some eye drops, then broke up with him. Hahahaha, you wouldn't believe how ignorant he was. I told him that his mistress' older brother came and threatened me to break things off, or he would destroy him. I tearfully explained that for the sake of his future, I would withdraw and wished him a happy future with that mistress of his."

Lin Qian: …….how on earth did he ever think that Shao SiJia was someone capable of getting bullied?

Shao SiJia giggled. "Then that slag man begged me, insisting that it was his mistress who was clinging onto him, that the older brother was lying to me. He said that he wouldn't get together with his mistress…After that, I ran away. I actually wanted to watch for a little while longer, but my eyes were beginning to dry, and I was worried I wouldn't be able to contain my laughter."

Lin Qian: "….."

Lin Qian quietly stood up, opened Shao SiJia's door, and shouted: "Zheng PingQing, bring a glass of water over, your big sister is thirsty."

Zheng PingQing, the clever child that he was, immediately replied: "Coming!"

The author has something to say:

Shao SiJia: Any friend of Ah Qian is my friend, and any brother of Ah Qian is my brother. You can rely on big sister in the future.

Zheng PingQing: I'm Ah Qian's boyfriend.

Shao SiJia: Time for you to say goodbye (holds up a fist)

Chen ShiYi: I think I'm incompatible with this family. smoking.jpg

Honestly, Zheng PingQing, you shouldn't answer the door while holding a knife lol.

Also, Shao SiJia is the big sister I wish I had.
