Wang Yunxiao carried buns back to the school, waiting for his brothers who instantly turned their heads, pretending to be busy with their hands and focused on their own tasks.
Little Gourd's eyes bulged, staring incredulously at the steamer in his hand.
"Big Brother...when did you get a wife?"
"Don't listen to her nonsense; we're not that kind of relationship."
"Isn't that just short of getting married!"
You might actually have a point, considering the general traditional views of the time. If a girl delivers food to you and you eat it, then the relationship is pretty much set – so saying it's just short of getting married isn't really wrong.
Wang Yunxiao said helplessly, "For an outstanding bachelor like your big brother to be favored by women outside, even to the point of them throwing themselves at me, isn't that pretty normal? If I were really to find you a sister-in-law, could I possibly keep it from you all?"
"You're right, Big Brother!"
