Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart



"Why is your head always filled with nonsense?" Long Yin frowned and glared unhappily at her.

Yaoyao rubbed her painful head and pouted. "What are you being so angry about, Royal Brother? Did I guess right? Do you actually like Xinxin, and is that why you're getting angry?"

Long Yin's face turned dark when he saw how excited she got when she talked about this. "Stop spouting nonsense or I'll seal your mouth."

Yaoyao was still a little afraid when she saw her older brother this angry, so she quickly covered her mouth, but she did not want to back down completely. "Why are you acting so fierce? Is Xinxin not worthy of your attention at all?"

Long Yin frowned. "I didn't say she's not a good girl…"

"Then why are you acting so angry for?"

"I…" Long Yin paused. He thought of Cousin Lu Xue, who was far away in Great Shang's imperial capital, and his expression softened. 

His grandparents must have gotten the guiding herb by now.

When Yaoyao saw him suddenly turn silent and there was a rare gentle expression on his face, she was quite astonished.

They grew up as part of triplets, which was why they had more rapport and camaraderie than normal siblings.

Moreover, she had already experienced what was it like to be in love. Her royal brother's sudden change in expression was enough for her to understand what was going on.

When Yaoyao realized this, her pretty eyes widened and she looked at him in slight surprise. "Big Brother, do you have someone you like?"

Long Yin gave a start but did not reply. Instead, he rubbed her head and said softly, "It's getting late. You should have an early rest."

Yaoyao was not that easy to get rid of. She would not give up without getting an answer.

It was also quite a rare occasion. She was very curious about the girl who was able to capture her big brother's heart.

"Which young lady could it be?"

Long Yin's eyes narrowed and he changed the topic. "By the way, what's going on between you and Beitang You?"

When Yaoyao saw how he refused to answer her question and questioned her instead, she immediately backed down. She yawned and said, "Oh my, I went hunting up in the mountains with Xinxin and the others, and I've been busy since then. I'm so tired right now. I'd better be catching up on my sleep, Big Brother."

"Alright. Have a good rest. You probably won't be able to enjoy such a good time once we get home."

Yaoyao paused in her steps. Her little face fell when she heard the threat in his words. She turned back and tugged on her brother's sleeve as she said coyly, "You're my big brother, aren't you? How can you be so cold-blooded?"

"Are you prepared to tell me about it now?" Long Yin was not moved by her actions as he stood with one hand behind his back.

Yaoyao pouted. "There's nothing for me to tell you. I like Big Brother Beitang and he likes me too. It's as simple as that."

"How long has it even been since you've known him?" Long Yin looked at her incredulously, not understanding her rash behavior.

Yaoyao was calm. She stared into the mysterious night sky and said softly, "Big Brother, liking someone has nothing to do with the length of time. It could be a moment's spur that makes you end up liking someone. On the other hand, if you don't feel the same way for someone, you might never like the person no matter how long you spend time with them."

Long Yin was taken aback. He clearly did not expect her to say something like that.

It sounded logical, but…

"Yaoyao, Father and Mother have protected you and Ji'er too well, and have never allowed both of you to experience the outside world. That is why you are both more naïve than most people and would be easily bewitched by others. Your sudden spur of feelings for the person might be just a hallucination."

Yaoyao turned toward him and retorted with a frown, "It's not like that, Big Brother. It's true that Father and Mother have protected us well, but Ji'er and I are not stupid. We're still able to differentiate good people from bad. Also, liking someone is a feeling that comes from the bottom of the heart. I'm sure that I like Big Brother Beitang."
