The "brother" they referred to was a beau, and after chatting idly with those women for a while, Gu Youyou learned that their encounters weren't just ones where they met and followed someone after singing a few songs; it was mostly cases of mutual affection. But there were also some spur-of-the-moment matches.
Elbowing through the crowd for a better look, Gu Youyou indeed saw Jin Zijin standing tall and straight like a pine, right over there.
In his eyes was a dangerous anger.
Things have gone too far; he's definitely going to 'punish' me when we get home, Gu Youyou thought to herself.
"The brother across the way is so handsome, I don't care who he belongs to, I want to sing and see how he'll respond."
A bold girl had already stepped forward.
Gu Youyou panicked, hurriedly squeezing through the crowd to pull her back, shouting, "Mine, mine, that's mine."
He was already angry, and if these overt love songs embarrassed him further, he would surely flay her alive.
