Junior Brother Pays Respect to You: Chapter 63 - Likes Men
Chapter 63: Likes Men
“Yu Jingchen is really that kind-hearted?”
Although Wei Feiluan had momentarily stopped trying to destroy the spirit pillar, he still looked skeptical about what the woman in front of him had said.
At this point, Hong Yi had already stood up from the ground, clearly still badly injured.
She coughed a few times and clutched her chest as she said, “Hasn’t he always been this kind of person?”
“Otherwise, why would so many things be sealed away in his Mount Yujing?”
“If you still don’t believe me, you can go ask Qing Yuan right now. He was close to Yu Jingchen and visited him often. He must know more.”
“If I lied to you, you can come back and do whatever you want. The spirit pillar isn’t going anywhere.”
Wei Feiluan hesitated for a moment, turned to glance at Qin Zheng lying slanted on the ground, and in the end did nothing—he simply disappeared.
Seeing the crisis averted, the three sisters let out a heavy sigh of relief.
But when they turned their gaze back to the lake, they saw that their “husband” had fainted from spiritual exhaustion—yet it was his junior brother who had picked him up in his arms.
Hong Yi raised a trembling hand to point at the junior brother and shrieked, “Why are you still standing?!”
“Didn’t our husband say your combined spiritual power was only just enough to complete the seal?”
Qin Su looked at the person in his arms and replied calmly, “After the last time I strengthened the spirit pillar, my spiritual power recovered to a level higher than before.”
Hong Yi gritted her teeth and muttered, “I had planned to take advantage of both of you being unconscious to finalize the marriage!”
It seemed Qin Su heard her muttering. He looked at her and said, “I won’t give you that chance.”
“Do you have a bedroom?”
“I’ll need to rest here for a while. By logic, you should’ve already prepared lodgings for us, right?”
Seeing how rude he was, Hong Yi clenched her teeth but still said through gritted teeth, “I—will—have—someone—take—you—there—immediately!”
Soon, a spirit being came running down a side path from the palace.
Hong Yi ordered, “Take him to his quarters.”
Once Qin Su was out of sight, Hong Yi turned to her sisters and asked, “Should we wait for our husband to wake up to complete the marriage, or just do it while he’s still unconscious?”
Bai Yi hesitated and said, “I’m afraid his junior brother won’t allow it.”
Lan Yi nodded. “If Wei Feiluan hadn’t interrupted, we could’ve gone through with it. But now that all three of us are injured, we probably shouldn’t try to take shortcuts.”
Hong Yi frowned and thought for a moment, then said, “Then we’ll also rest and wait until our husband wakes up. When that time comes, we’ll insist that we were already betrothed. Given his personality, he’ll probably give in.”
Bai Yi whispered, “Aren’t we being a bit dishonest? What if he regains his memories and remembers that he never agreed to marry us?”
“Besides, his personality now seems very different from his past life.”
Lan Yi quickly raised her hand in a “shh” gesture and said, “Keep it down! Don’t let them hear.”
“Even if he remembers later, the marriage would already be done. Worst case, we just treat him really well afterward.”
Hong Yi nodded. “If we don’t trick him into marrying us now, while he has no memories of his past life, we’ll lose our chance once he remembers!”
“Don’t forget, in the past life we clung to him for so long, and in the end, he only reluctantly accepted the painting we gave him because of the spirit pillar business.”

A few days later, Qin Zheng finally opened his eyes with great difficulty.
The first thing he saw was a large red wedding canopy above his head.
All around him were layers of bright red fabric—clearly decorations used for a traditional wedding.
He hadn’t expected them to be this well-prepared.
As Qin Zheng sat up in bed, he saw Qin Su sitting beside him with his eyes closed, apparently meditating.
Looking around, Qin Zheng noticed that the bed he was lying on wasn’t a typical rectangular bed—
But a large, round wooden bed.
The bedding, pillows, and blankets were all deep red.
The entire room looked like a bridal chamber.
“You’re awake.”
Hearing the voice, Qin Zheng turned to see that Qin Su had opened his eyes.
Surprised, Qin Zheng asked, “How are you awake already? Last time, you took ten days longer than me.”
Qin Su seemed in a good mood. “My cultivation improved again, so I didn’t use up all my spiritual power this time.”
Qin Zheng looked a bit jealous. “Then next time you won’t need my help anymore?”
“Running out of spiritual power is such a miserable feeling!”
Seeing Qin Su nod, Qin Zheng happily scooted toward the edge of the bed.
He had spotted the table covered with food.
When he climbed out of bed, he realized he was still wearing the wedding robe and muttered, “Why am I still in this thing?”
“Don’t tell me they still want to force the marriage?”
Stuffing food into his mouth, he said, “Junior brother, now that we’re both awake, let’s hurry and get out of here!”
“I don’t want to be forced into a marriage!”
“No wait—actually, I don’t want to get married at all!”
Qin Su looked at him helplessly and said, “We’ll have to stay here a while longer. Once I’ve fully recovered my spiritual power, I’ll take you out.”
“Otherwise, if we run into danger again, I won’t be able to protect you.”
After a pause, he added, “It won’t take long.”
The tone sounded like comfort.
Since Qin Su had already said so, Qin Zheng could only take a silent bite of the food in his hand, pondering how to quickly get rid of those three long-term nuisances.
If he couldn’t resolve it cleanly, they would likely keep clinging to him.
After filling his stomach, Qin Zheng looked down at the wedding robe on him and said, “Where are my original clothes?”
The more he looked at the wedding robe, the more displeased he felt.
Qin Su reached out to his side, and a set of blue-and-white sect robes appeared in his hand.
Qin Zheng walked over, took the clothes, placed them on the bed, and then started undressing without hesitation.
He didn’t care at all that someone else was in the room.
Qin Su clearly hadn’t expected his senior brother to strip so openly in front of him and was briefly stunned.
Qin Zheng took off his outer robe, then his inner garments, followed by his pants.
In no time, he was completely naked.
While undressing, he complained, “Everything’s red. I have to change it all.”
Qin Su watched his senior brother’s body with an unreadable expression the entire time.
Qin Zheng looked up, noticed his junior brother watching him, and winked: “What do you think? Isn’t my figure pretty good?”
Qin Su glanced at him but said nothing.
Qin Zheng seemed used to his junior brother’s aloofness and didn’t mind. While putting on his clothes, he continued, “How do you think I can make those three sisters give up?”
“Should I say I already have a wife?”
Qin Su replied coldly, “You’re a disciple of Tianque Sect. That’s impossible.”
“Then what about saying I already love someone?”
Qin Su frowned. “With their personalities, they wouldn’t care if you married more than one.”
By now, Qin Zheng had finished dressing. He sat on the bed and asked, “Then what excuse do I have left?”
“My master forbids it?”
“Getting married will kill me?”
Qin Zheng flopped back on the bed in frustration. “Even I don’t believe those excuses.”
“Husband, you’re awake!”
Just then, a sharp, feminine voice called out. Startled, Qin Zheng immediately sat up.
He looked toward the door — it had been shut, but someone had pushed it open. Hong Yi entered with a bright smile.
Seeing that Qin Zheng had changed his clothes, she teased, “Husband, why did you take off the wedding robe?”
“Look, we’ve already prepared everything. As soon as you woke up, we could go straight to the wedding ceremony.”
She twirled once in the room. “What do you think, husband? Do you like the bridal chamber’s decor?”
Qin Zheng had no interest in the decor. He quickly got up, walked over to Hong Yi, and said with a bitter face, “Miss, I really can’t marry you! Please let me go!”
Hong Yi stared at Qin Zheng silently for a long time, then suddenly turned and sat on a stool. “If you can give me a reason I find convincing, I’ll agree not to marry you.”
Her sudden compromise made Qin Zheng happy at first, but then troubled again.
If he had a convincing reason, he would’ve used it already — he wouldn’t have waited until now.
But since the opportunity had come, he had to seize it and think of something no matter what.
His mind was spinning, and he glanced at Qin Su, hoping for help.
But the moment he looked at Qin Su, an idea involving him suddenly popped into his head.
Qin Zheng’s heart leapt —
This was definitely the best plan.
To make the lie seem harder to say, he walked over to Hong Yi and sighed dramatically before speaking: “The truth is... I only like men.”
Hong Yi frowned. “You expect me to believe that excuse, husband?”
Qin Zheng said a bit awkwardly, “The person I love is my junior brother.”
“We grew up together in Tianque Sect. A long time ago, we already started a relationship in secret.” As he said this, he deliberately looked at Qin Su, signaling him to cooperate, and then continued, “If you three insist on marrying me, I won’t resist, but I won’t be able to share a physical relationship with you.”
“Ever since I’ve been with Qin Su, he’s the only one I’m interested in.”
