Reborn in the Eighties as a Housewife with a Space

Chapter 1752: Chapter 1746: Picking Up Little Sister

Qin Yu stood at the gate of Qin Jiale’s school, watching students trickle out one after another. When would his little sister come out?

But he didn’t feel impatient. Instead, he stood under a tree not far from the school gate and waited.

It wasn’t until every student had left that Qin Yu began to wonder if something had happened to Qin Jiale. Just as he was about to head into the school dormitory to look for her, he finally saw her walking out with a group of girls.

“Lele,” Qin Yu called out.

“Oh wow, this is great! Someone came to pick me up. I’ll head off first. You all take your time. See you when school starts!” Qin Jiale thought she might have heard wrong, but it turned out to really be her big brother picking her up. She was so thrilled she nearly shouted out loud.

However, her rationality managed to overpower her excitement. If she shouted, it would definitely attract a bunch of girls trying to get to know her brother.

She absolutely didn’t want any of them becoming her sister-in-law, so she quickly swallowed her words before reaching the gate. To enjoy a quiet life, it was better to stay low-key.

“Alright then, bye Lele!” Xu Shaoqin and the other girls saw such a handsome man coming to pick up Qin Jiale and smiled at her while fluttering their eyes.

Qin Jiale pretended not to see their expressions. What kind of looks were those anyway? Couldn’t they see that she and her brother shared some resemblance?

She didn’t bother explaining and walked toward her brother, carrying her things. Looking at him, it seemed clear he’d been waiting for quite some time.

“Brother, I missed you so much.” Qin Jiale had only taken a few steps before Qin Yu came over to take her luggage.

“Silly girl, has school been tiring lately?” Qin Yu reached out to ruffle her hair. How had this girl grown so much thinner?

“It’s alright, not too tiring.” Qin Jiale felt helpless—every time her brother saw her, he’d do this same thing. She felt like she’d turned back into a little kid.

“Then it must be that you haven’t been eating properly. You’re not out of money, are you?” Qin Yu looked at his sister. If it wasn’t because of school, then she must be a picky eater.

“Brother, why are you like this? You rarely come back, and the first thing you do is criticize me?” Qin Jiale was feeling a little guilty. Recently, due to the hot weather, she really hadn’t been eating well, so her brother’s guess wasn’t entirely wrong.

“Well, I can’t criticize you unless there’s something to criticize, right? Let’s go eat something first. If we wait until we get home, it’ll take too long.” Qin Yu hadn’t originally planned to stop for food, but seeing his sister so thin made his heart ache. He decided it was better to grab a bite before heading back.

“There’s no need for that. Let’s just pick up a pancake from the shop on the way. We’re going to pass by it anyway.” Qin Jiale really didn’t feel like eating anything. It was so hot that she just had no appetite. Even if she went with her brother, she wouldn’t eat much, so there was no need to waste food.

“Are you sure?” Qin Yu asked his sister.

“Yes, I’m sure.” Qin Jiale wasn’t joking—what was there to be unsure about?

“Alright then, I’ll go get the bike.” Qin Yu had ridden his bicycle here, leaving it behind the tree earlier.

“Okay,” Qin Jiale said, following Qin Yu.

“Sit tight. We’re heading off now.” Once Qin Yu made sure his sister was seated properly and holding on, he started pedaling. While bicycles weren’t fast, a fall could still lead to fractures.

“Mhm, mhm.” Qin Jiale held on, grabbing the back of her brother’s shirt. Her luggage had been placed on the bike’s front rack by Qin Yu, so she didn’t need to carry anything.

In this era, physical contact between relatives or couples wasn’t overly intimate, yet the bond between Qin Yu and Qin Jiale was exceptionally close.
