I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

On holidays, the sun shines into the house through the window lattices, giving people a peaceful and warm feeling.

Chen Jue sat at the table, his expression still showing signs of crying, but there was more determination in his eyes.

He was racking his brains to think about how to improve his relationship with his colleagues in the Dali Temple.

Chen Jia, who was standing by, felt so much pity when she saw her brother like this.

She thought for a while, then gave a suggestion: "Ajue, you can find some friends to hang out with, preferably ones who have relatives in the Dali Temple. In this way, perhaps they can help ease your situation in the Dali Temple."

Chen Jue frowned and said with some embarrassment: "Sister, I don't know the relationship of the Dali Temple."

Chen Jia smiled lightly, with a hint of confidence in her eyes. "Today is Book Showing Day, and I received an invitation. Let's go to the book club together. Liao Heng is the younger brother of Liao Feng, the doctor of law at the Dali Temple. You can use your relationship as a fellow apprentice of the emperor to promote Liao Heng when you celebrate the emperor's birthday next month, so that Liao Feng will owe you a favor."

"Sister, you have to be the one to remember who belongs to whom."

Chen Jia smiled and tapped Chen Jue's forehead, then took him to the book club.

When we arrived at the book club, we found it was very lively here. Scholars and literati were either exchanging their views on books or appreciating precious ancient books.

As soon as Chen Jia appeared, she attracted a lot of people's attention.

She greeted everyone gracefully and responded to everyone's greetings with a smile.

The time she spent at Yang Xiu's house taught her how to handle various situations with ease.

She remembered the preferences and relationships of every important person, and at this moment, these memories became a valuable resource for her to plan for her brother.

Under the guidance of her sister, Chen Jue began to look for Liao Heng.

The sunlight playfully shines through the carved window lattices of the bookstore, casting a warm glow.

The book club is filled with the faint scent of ink and paper. Some literati are quietly reading books, while others are chatting in low voices. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable.

Chen Jue saw Liao Heng concentrating on reading a book. He took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, walked forward with a smile and bowed slightly.

"My dear brother, my name is Chen Jue. I see that you are so fascinated by this book. Do you have any unique insights?"

Liao Heng raised his head, a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He put down the book in his hand, stood up and returned the greeting.

"Oh? Are you interested in this book too? I think the viewpoints in this book are very novel and the arguments are very profound. It is definitely a masterpiece."

Chen Jue nodded, his eyes fell on the book, he reached out and gently patted the cover of the book, his face full of appreciation.

“So what do you think of this view?”

Liao Heng frowned slightly, holding his chin with one hand, and said after thinking for a moment: "I think that although this view is quite interesting, it is not completely flawless. In some aspects, there may be different interpretations..."

Liao Heng talked excitedly, while Chen Jue listened attentively, nodding slightly to show his agreement from time to time.

Unconsciously, the relationship between the two gradually became closer.

Chen Jue asked again: "I am so lucky to be able to exchange reading experiences with you here today. Do you have any other hobbies besides reading?"

"I occasionally drink tea and play chess with my friends. How about you?"

"I also like playing chess. We can have a competition if we have a chance."

"Okay, then I'm looking forward to playing chess with you. By the way, I haven't asked you what you do for a living?"

"Hey, to be honest, I work at the Dali Temple."

"Dali Temple? That's an important place. My brother is also in the Dali Temple, he is Doctor of Law Liao Feng."

"Oh, what a coincidence! How is your brother doing in the Dali Temple?"

"My brother works very hard, and his superiors always appreciate him. What position do you hold in the Dali Temple?"

"I am currently the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple."

"The position of Shaoqing is a heavy responsibility. You must take good care of my elder brother in the future."

"No, no, I just got there too, and I still have a lot to learn. I'll have to ask Brother Liao and your brother for guidance in the future."

Chen Jue and Liao Heng had a very pleasant conversation. Sometimes they laughed heartily, sometimes they had heated discussions, and they were completely immersed in the exchange of knowledge.

Chen Jia watched from the side with a gratified smile on her face. She secretly sighed in her heart that her brother was finally starting to make things better.

However, just when Chen Jia had just relaxed, Yang Hui appeared again.

She brought a few little sisters with her and walked towards Chen Jia aggressively.

Yang Hui's face was filled with anger. She pointed at Chen Jia and scolded her, "You shameless woman, you are flirting with Wei Lang again. You even came here to find a scholar as your lover. You are really used to cheating."

Her little sisters also echoed her, pointing and talking at Chen Jia with contempt in their words.

Chen Jia's face darkened instantly. She looked at Yang Hui coldly, with anger rising in her heart.

But she quickly calmed down and her eyes fell on the jewelry Yang Hui was wearing.

That was a gift she once gave to Yang Hui. She didn't expect Yang Hui to wear it to insult her.

Chen Jia raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile, and said: "Hey, isn't this the jewelry I gave you? You bring the things I gave you to scold me, who is more ungrateful and shameless?"

Yang Hui stood there, her face turning pale and blue.

She held the jewels on her body, her hands shaking slightly.

Her little sisters also looked at each other, and Yang Hui's eyes instantly burned with anger. She bit her lips tightly, and her teeth almost bit her lips through.

"Chen Jia, do you think you can stay so proud forever? Let me tell you, the Wei family will never want someone like you! Humph, let's wait and see who will be more embarrassed by then!"

She swung her sleeves, turned around and yelled at her sisters, "What are you looking at? Why don't you leave!"

The little sisters were frightened by her anger, trembled all over, lowered their heads, and hurriedly left behind her.

As Yang Hui walked, she cursed Chen Jia in her heart.

Not long after, Chen Jia met Yang Xiu in the small garden of the book club.

The moment Yang Xiu saw Chen Jia, he was stunned for a moment, then slowly walked forward and blocked Chen Jia's way.

When Chen Jia saw Yang Xiu, he suddenly felt a surge of anger in his heart.

She said angrily, "Get out of the way!"

She didn't want to have any more entanglement with Yang Xiu. The past had already made her exhausted.

"Chen Jia, I..."

He hesitated to speak, as if he didn't know how to express his feelings.

"Get out of the way."

Yang Xiu took a deep breath and said slowly: "Chen Jia, I know there are many misunderstandings between us. I want you to listen to my explanation."

Chen Jia sneered and said, "No need."

Yang Xiu said with regret: "I know I was wrong. I just hope you can give me a chance to make up for my mistake."

Chen Jia looked at Yang Xiu and said, "It's too late."

Yang Xiu said anxiously: "No, it's not too late. As long as you are willing, we can start over."

"Impossible. Please move away. I don't want to see you again."

Yang Xiu was about to stop Chen Jia again when Wei Lang walked out leisurely, fanning himself.

He looked at Yang Xiu sharply, raised his chin slightly, and asked with a hint of questioning in his tone: "Yang Xiu, what are you going to do?"
