Chapter 348: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
He Chengyi's heart was not just stirred by ripples, but by a raging torrent, wishing he could completely engulf the person in front of him.
He lowered his eyes, calmed himself down, and then said in a low, hoarse voice, "Qingqing... hug me."
Yun Qing immediately leaned forward and gave him a tight hug.
He Chengyi felt it wasn't enough. He reached out and grabbed her waist, pulling Yun Qing forward until she was completely enveloped in his arms.
He Chengyi hugged her tightly and asked dejectedly, "Is my family situation particularly bad?"
Yun Qing rested her chin on his shoulder and nodded. "It really is terrible."
"But you're great!"
"Brother, you must remember, the fault lies not with you, but with the entire He family."
He Chengyi slowly hummed in agreement and said nothing more.
Yun Qing couldn't see his expression and, fearing he was still sad, patted his back again, comforting him, "You're still here for me."
He Chengyi brushed his nose against her earlobe and asked in a low voice, "Qingqing, you will never abandon me, right?"
Yun Qing felt a little itchy, shrank her neck, and quietly turned her head away a bit, "Mmm."
He Chengyi, like a clingy big puppy, didn't care at all about her dodging. He chased after her, nuzzled her earlobe, and asked in a low voice, "What will you do if you have someone you like in the future?"
Yun Qing blinked and silently said to herself, "Sorry, my future boyfriend, everything should be done in order of arrival. My older brother came first!"
Then she said firmly, "Of course you're more important!"
Hmm... what should I do if I feel like I'm a bit of a jerk?
Then I just won't find a boyfriend, right?
Yun Qing made the decision happily, but He Chengyi didn't know that he was not only not happy, but also had a heart attack.
You really want to like someone else?! Believe me or not, I'll get depressed and show you!
He Chengyi buried his head in the crook of her neck, looking depressed. Yun Qing, however, thought he was moved and patted his shoulder, saying, "Brother, you deserve the best!"
He Chengyi was once again stung by the title "brother," feeling an itch in his teeth and wanting to bite someone.
He can talk a good game and knows more than anyone else, so why is he so dense?
Yun Qing was still completely unaware and continued to tease him, "Brother, I have more resources now, so I might be quite busy later. If you miss me, you can video call me, and I'll come to see you when I have time."
He Chengyi: !!!
Wait a minute! How many resources has Lin Xu arranged for you? How long will it take until you have time?
"Brother, you must remember that you are my only brother, a very, very important person!"
Yun Qing said this because she was afraid that He Chengyi, who was starved of love, would feel anxious and insecure during the time she couldn't see him. Little did she know that He Chengyi's heart was already being pierced like a honeycomb.
He now feels that calling him by his full name is quite nice.
Why did he feel that calling it that wasn't familiar enough?
Now look at how sweet Yun Qing's words are, they're all for her brother! They're all "touching" expressions of family affection!
Is it possible to turn this around?
When Lin Xu entered the restaurant, he saw the two sitting on the carpet, embracing tightly. They sounded like a couple in love, whispering sweet nothings to each other, but Yun Qing kept calling him "brother."
Lin Xu: Hmm... You two siblings are so loving!
Yun Qing noticed Lin Xu first and reached out to push He Chengyi, but He Chengyi didn't move.
She had no choice but to hold the big dog like that... Brother, asked, "Assistant Lin, is there something you need?"
Lin Xu kept his eyes down and spoke in his usual calm and composed tone, as if he were reporting on work: "President Song called and told you to go home as soon as possible, or she will come to pick you up herself."
Yun Qing: !!!
Yun Qing quickly tugged at He Chengyi, saying, "I'll go back right away."
He Chengyi was forcibly pulled away by her, and he looked at her with an incredulous and hurt expression, accusing her: "Qingqing, you said I was the most important person to you!"
In her haste, Yun Qing didn't even think about whether she had actually said that, and only focused on comforting him, "Yes, yes, yes, you're important!"
"But, bro, my sister is super fierce. She's given me an ultimatum. If I don't do as she says, she'll beat me up when she actually comes to pick me up!"
He Chengyi couldn't help but frown, "She beat you up?"
Yun Qing shook her head, "No, I mean I'll beat you up!"
He Chengyi: Oh... that's alright.
He's someone who's cared about now, so getting beaten up isn't necessarily a bad thing.
He promised not to retaliate, giving the older sister ample face.
But Yun Qing clearly didn't want to see him get beaten up, so she grabbed her things and waved goodbye, "Brother, take care. I'm leaving now. I'll think of another way to deal with your nightmares."
He Chengyi watched her hurried departure with a sorrowful look in his eyes.
There is clearly a ready-made solution.

When Yunqing got home, she found that her sister hadn't gone to the company yet and was waiting for her!
It looks like they're going to hold someone accountable.
Yun Qing couldn't help but complain, "Sister, am I really that unreliable..."
Before she could finish speaking, Song Yunyao's gaze suddenly sharpened, and she walked over with an intimidating aura, reaching out to rub her collarbone.
"What is this? Don't tell me it's a mosquito bite!"
Yun Qing touched her collarbone, her honesty almost frightening, "Oh... this was bitten by my older brother."
Song Yunyao: ...
She looked at her like she was an idiot and asked, "Don't you feel like you've been taken advantage of?"
Yun Qing waved her hand dismissively, saying, "It's just that my brother accidentally bit me in his dream. What's the big deal? He's already apologized."
Song Yunyao almost had a heart attack from being angered by her dim-witted younger sister.
I dreamt that I accidentally bit someone, but instead of leaving a tooth mark, I got a hickey?
Even if it really was just a dream, it definitely wasn't a good dream!
Moreover, what bothered her was not only that Yun Qing was unaware of being taken advantage of, but she also discovered an even more serious problem.
"Song Yunqing! Why would He Chengyi bite you in his dream?"
She previously thought He Chengyi was a decent person and a good marriage prospect for Yun Qing.
Although the He family is quite complicated, it is completely under He Chengyi's control. Even the old master of the He family can't do anything about He Chengyi now and is very wary of him.
Besides, the Song family isn't to be underestimated; they're not incapable of protecting Yun Qing.
But He Chengyi's current behavior has made her start to doubt her judgment of people.
What good man would bite someone's collarbone right after meeting them?
This is no longer just a minor transgression!
Yun Qing, with nothing to hide, explained without a hint of guilt, "He had a nightmare, and I wanted to comfort him, but he accidentally bit me!"
"Hey sis! Are you thinking about something inappropriate? Let me tell you, you're desecrating the pure sibling bond between me and my brother!"
Shen Yulan came downstairs and overheard their conversation clearly.
Seeing Yun Qing's self-righteous attitude, Shen Yulan fell silent.
Oh no, I think I really gave birth to a blockhead!
