Qin Youshen, my brother, my sister-in-law, and I are childhood sweethearts. Qin Youshen has been engaged to my sister-in-law since childhood, but my sister-in-law likes my brother, and I like Qin Youshen.
Back in school, Qin Youshen would almost daily seek out my sister-in-law, which made my brother very unhappy, leading to frequent fights between them.
To help my sister-in-law get rid of Qin Youshen, my brother would buy me ice cream each time so that I could distract Qin Youshen, and I did not disappoint him.
I either hid Qin Youshen's backpack or placed bird eggs on his desk, took his pencil case, and showed my sister-in-law all the love letters he received from girls while he was still in school.
Qin Youshen is a low-key and reserved person who never explains himself when faced with situations. After my sister-in-law Mu Mianmian read the love letters from others, she ignored him for a whole month.
Qin Youshen was quite upset about this for a long time. I said to him, "If you really don't care, why are you afraid of people seeing it?"
Qin Youshen thought that was indeed the case, but it wasn't an excuse for me to mess with his things.
He said, "Shi Talan, stop causing me trouble from now on!"
I agreed verbally but still managed to get him into quite a bit of trouble.

Once, I copied Qin Youshen's homework and got caught by the teacher.
I hid his homework notebook, and the Substitute Teacher looked at me with a scowl. "Shi Talan, why aren't you studying properly? Don't you know that homework must be done independently?"
I lowered my head, staring at my shoelaces, and muttered softly, "I know! I was just copying from the textbook!"
The Substitute Teacher didn't believe me and came over to search. There was no evidence left on the desk. He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "It was clearly right here; how could it be gone?"
I replied sincerely, "Teacher, you must have misseen it; there's absolutely nothing here."
My deskmate is my good friend. I patted his shoulder and asked, "Classmate, did you see me copying homework?"
The boy with glasses lowered his head and pushed up his glasses, saying, "I didn't see anything—really didn't see anything!"
The Substitute Teacher gave up and left. After class, I returned the homework to Qin Youshen. He looked at me with deep eyes and said, "You didn't betray me; that's pretty loyal!"
But by the time school was over, I had lost Qin Youshen's backpack!
Qin Youshen searched for a long time and finally found his backpack in my desk. At that moment, my brother and Mianmian had already left school half an hour ago; they were busy on their date.
Qin Youshen called Mianmian, but the line was busy and she didn't answer.
Qin Youshen knew that I definitely knew where the two of them were.
“Shi Talan, you lead the way and find Mianmian!”
He wasn't asking; he was informing me. Of course, I knew today was the day my brother and Sister Mianmian had secretly decided to be together. Qin Youshen couldn't possibly interrupt that.
I grabbed my backpack and headed outside the school.
“Hey, Shi Talan, hurry up and lead the way!” Qin Youshen was anxious. The Qin Family had asked him to bring Mu Mianmian home for dinner, but unexpectedly, Mu Mianmian had been taken away by my brother after class.
“I really don’t know! I truly don’t know! I have no idea!” I clutched my small backpack and ran, but it seemed like Qin Youshen was determined to confront me today and grabbed me.
“If you can’t explain yourself today, then let’s go!”
“What? What do you mean?”
“You’re coming back with me to the Qin Family for dinner!”
