Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

Chapter 340 You don’t want others to call me sister-in-law, right?
11 month 6 day.

Night.

"Can't I have them all?"

As Su Ming finished speaking, the air in the living room seemed to stagnate.

"..."

In fact, Su Ming had known she was there. Specifically, he was pulling Jiang Mengying to practice... trying his best to feel her position after she became transparent, and by the way, he could sense another breath following him.

The other party did nothing, and Su Ming did nothing either. It's just...

I saw the masked man in front of me put his phone away and started typing again.

She probably knew she was discovered, and she hadn't been hiding her presence since Jiang Mengying left. She was almost openly following.

I was thinking... am I planning to spy on my life?

Go to see An Shiyao, or before Jiang Mengying leaves, control your mood and say something that won't easily make this person angry. Then go to An Shiyao's company and control your mood again or stop An Shiyao from doing anything.

But in the final analysis, there is no need.

What you hear is what you hear, what you see is what you see. It is better to solve the problem sincerely than to be coy and lie.

Even if you imagine some experience with the person in front of you, and a deep relationship with him, and then pretend to be a gentleman, who are you pretending for?
Although he could joke that it was his birth, compared to a real birth, Su Ming felt that it was not yet at that stage... At least he was responsible in a sense.

"Clap."

She is still typing.

so……

"Didn't you say you wanted to take revenge first? What revenge do you want to take?"

"..."

Before Su Ming finished speaking, she had already turned her phone over and pointed it at Su Ming, two or three meters away.

If you can win

Just such a simple sentence.

"..."

Without knowing the inside story, can you just draw your knife and fight first?

If you win, you will get a corpse.

【If you lose, you will die. 】

“Isn’t it inconvenient to type with gloves on?”

Su Ming didn't take out his weapon, but forced a smile, "How about a cup of tea first? I think there are some misunderstandings that need to be cleared up."

"Wow..."

The window curtain fluttered, and the person whose figure was completely hidden in the robe disappeared.

Until the end, Su Ming did not try to stop her or fight her.

If the person is much stronger than you and there is a real grudge against you, then there is no need to say a word.

If she is weaker than me, and we have a bad relationship, I can't be completely unconcerned and come to meet her. Although I still don't know what she looks like.

"Even if you win, you'll only get a corpse?"

Su Ming leaned against the window frame and lit a cigarette.

"jingle--"

Just as I lit it, the doorbell rang.

Ok.

The reason why he suddenly walked away from the window might be because he noticed An Shiyao had returned.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry... In addition to Mr. Su Ming, I also bought spare ribs. They're still available at this time!"

Outside the door, An Shiyao, who was still wearing her OL professional uniform, seemed to be in a good mood and handed everything she was carrying to Su Ming.

"Mr. Su Ming, help me wash the ribs..."

After taking off her high heels, she did not tidy them up carefully as usual. Instead, she walked on the floor and hugged Su Ming from behind.

"Also, let's take a shower together. We're all sweaty, and we just ran into dirty water from aquatic products, which smells fishy."

"no problem."

"Do you feel your tummy?"

"No."

"My belly is getting bigger and bigger..."

She let go of Su Ming again and touched her belly.

"Other babies use literacy charts and pictures to learn about small animals, but our baby might be able to recognize them directly using the animal-eared girl."

"This is the rabbit mother, this is the fox mother, and this is the elf mother."

"..."

Su Ming just felt that if he really did this, when the child grew up, he would look at him as a father with tinted glasses.

"Help me unbutton my shirt."

"When I left home this morning, I realized I had picked up the wrong bra. It was a little too small."

"..."

Su Ming helped her unbutton her clothes.

"Ah, it's not mine after all...it's Xiaoxi's."

"Really, please don't choose the same style as me. I always make the mistake."

Shouldn't we be wondering why Xiaoxi's clothes are in the closet?
"Huh? I put it there. I said if they were coming to stay overnight, I would leave a few sets of clothes here. Wait... why did Mr. Su Ming think I would ask why Xiaoxi's clothes were in the closet?"

"Tsk. Forget it. It's not the first day I know how astringent Mr. Su Ming is."

The bathroom was steaming hot.

Just a normal bath.

Looking at An Shiyao who closed her eyes under the shower and let the hot water soak her face...

Because she can completely be considered a mature wife.

Even with this kind of scene, she would no longer feel shy.

"Why do you have to keep staring at me... Even if you want to do something, you have to wait until after dinner is done."

I feel a little shy. Maybe it's natural that I feel a little strange because I'm being watched.

Su Ming was still thinking about the masked woman who had been here.

revenge.

What vengeance needs to be avenged in the Snow Country?
Or, the revenge mentioned in the message actually refers to me. That's not right either, it means I will come back after I have taken revenge.

11 month 6 day.

I didn't notice it before entering the bathroom, after all, An Shiyao went directly to the second floor to get all the clothes.

I saw it after I came out.

"My pajamas were ruined because of someone."

"What's the matter? Your long sleeves can be worn as loose pajamas. Any objections?"

An Shiyao was wearing Su Ming's round-neck long-sleeved sweatshirt. The weather was good today, so she wouldn't feel cold even if she wore shorts.

I'm just used to seeing black stockings, so I feel a little uncomfortable suddenly changing to bare feet.

I didn't think about that person anymore.

It was much simpler now, as it was obvious that her emotions were directed towards herself, and not towards anyone around her.

As for confessing...it can be done after the problem is solved.

After all, An Shiyao is like this, as if there is a merit prayer wheel behind her head.

"correct."

An Shiyao skillfully shredded potatoes and glanced at Su Ming hesitantly, "Xiaoyou sent me a message this afternoon."

"..."

younger sister?

"Ha... She basically told me how she sees Little Jiang from her perspective."

"Then say that any random thing can make Little Jiang not even have the right to speak."

"It seems like it's really annoying."

"Mr. Su Ming, have you figured out what to do?"

"..."

Su Ming paused, "She is my sister."

"The emotional card?"

“Although I also think that in the end Xiaoyou will definitely accept it because Mr. Su Ming has no choice.”

"but……"

"Did Sister Jiang really break and throw away the things Mr. Su Ming gave her more than ten years ago? Before she discovered that."

"Xiaoyou said that as long as she can take it out, we can talk about it. But if it's already been thrown away... it doesn't seem like it would be a good idea to confuse people and find the same one."

"..."

Su Ming washed the ribs with clean water and then put them into the pot to blanch.

"There is a way."

"?"

"If that's what my sister said, then don't worry about it, we can still talk about it."

"why?"

“Because she doesn’t know the follow-up of sending things.”

It should be about Jiang Mengying who was waiting for him to play, but he went to chat with a female colleague. He was caught... and then he went to find her, but the gift he took out was thrown away.

However, one day later, the gift was deliberately pinned on the schoolbag so that he could see it.

The little pendant is still there.

"Anyway, Mr. Su Ming can't just play the emotional card. Xiaoyou needs to talk nicely."

"She is also my sister."

"..."

Su Ming stared at An Shiyao's profile as she cut the potatoes into shreds and soaked them in water.

Until she stared at me in return.

"what?"

"No matter how small I am, I can't be satisfied before the ribs are blanched!"

"No, I just suddenly feel that you are becoming more and more like a wife."

"What do you mean? I am."

She unconsciously put her hands on her hips.

11 month 6 day.

late at night.

Didn't go to the second floor.

Right in the living room, on the sofa...

"You're suddenly so gentle today...you're always flirting."

"Really... I don't even know how I spent my afternoon at the company."

"I've been wondering if you have something on your mind... or if you've simply discovered my new charm. It's all your fault."

"I wasn't that shy..."

"I actually did it before and asked the doctor if I could shiver in the middle of the front three, back three, or both... Ugh, no matter how I think about it, it's your fault!"

"..."

It was just a casual contact after eating and drinking.

But Su Ming's phone was placed next to An Shiyao's tied-up hair, and she was lying there... The phone would automatically light up when there was a notification.

【Mr. Ming】

[In the future... Pi Gu will work harder, for sure. ]

An Shiyao could see it just by looking sideways.

"If I say so, I don't know why she would say such a thing. Do you believe it?"

"Haha, I already think of Mr. Su Ming as a scumbag in my heart. So it doesn't matter. When we first met, he said that only Yao was the best."

"..."

Half an hour later.

The sofa was already dirty. An Shiyao sat there wrapped in a thin blanket and turned on the TV.

"Xue'er is pregnant, Mr. Su Ming can actually call her every day."

"They're all women."

"Even if Sister Xue'er says no, she will definitely be happy."

"..."

Xue'er has already talked to me. I don't know how many pictures of her belly she sent me in the afternoon.

"I signed up for open courses such as economic management and construction again."

"Mr. Su Ming, just do whatever you want, and so do I."

"..."

"How about we stop when I become a qualified staff member and Sister Xue'er and the others become the best they expected?"

Facing those soft eyes.

Su Ming probably knew what she meant. She wanted to say that when she and Xue'er had reached the level they expected, they would stop dreaming.

“You don’t have to be No. 1 in the world.”

"As long as you feel it's enough, that's what I think."

"If you encounter any more danger, run away. If you can't escape... none of us can escape, and few of us can escape."

"Mr. Su Ming is just a clerk who works part-time as my man. He didn't say he wanted to save the world."

"..."

"Ah, how come this actor is still on stage? Didn't I hear that he was banned for relying on gender opposition traffic? It's disgusting just to look at him."

"..."

In fact, An Shiyao is very smart. At least in terms of emotional intelligence, she can understand many things without having to finish speaking.

"Mr. Su Ming?"

"Why...it's become a habit, right?"

"I suddenly feel very cute."

"No! The baby in my belly is asleep at this time, it will wake him up!"

"..."

Although she said that, An Shiyao didn't resist at all.

Instead, he pushed Su Ming's shoulders powerlessly. He murmured softly...

"Fool."

"I feel like my thoughts are not making sense... I could have come back earlier. After all, I am the president."

"..."

What CEO? The CEO who scolds people with a cold face and is difficult to get along with in the company?
Now it seems that we are easy to get along with. In many ways.

"You are saying such... ambiguous words again."

"but……"

She wrapped her legs around Su Ming and buried her cheek in his ear.

“I must have been really difficult to get along with before.”

"Mr. Su Ming thinks it's easy to get along with because..."

"..."

Why?
In the middle of a conversation?
"Don't tell me... don't tell me. If you tell me, I won't be able to sleep for a long time."

Naive.

Do you think you can go to bed early if you don’t say it?
11 month 7 day.

early morning.

An Xiaoxi was scared.

"Ugh."

This was not her voice. She was sure there was a ghost in the room.

"Who is it?"

"Let me be clear first, my brother-in-law is Superman."

"I have several sisters, the queen of Eagle Country, the dark overlord of Winter City, a genius who can become a hundred times more powerful and intelligent than Spider-Man, an emperor who can use magic... If you want to mess with me, you'd better think it through!" "..."

Although An Xiaoxi has experienced a lot, people are always afraid of the unknown.

Especially the invisible ghosts.

She was afraid even with a broom. She had no strength.

"..."

The curtains danced.

An Xiaoxi stared at it and continued to mutter, "Don't, don't underestimate me! I'm actually a superman. Ten assassins can't get close to me!"

"I already see where you are!"

The lights were fully on.

But why do I feel cold all over?

correct.

sister-in-law...

Although it's a shared pain...it's obvious that my brother-in-law is making a baby with my sister again.

But now is a special situation, there is nothing I can do. I can only call.

“…Don’t, don’t hit me.”

Just as An Xiaoxi was about to make a phone call, a ghost appeared. She was wearing a white dress, pure white...

11 month 7 day.

One o'clock.

"So, it was my brother-in-law who asked you to come and see me."

"..."

Jiang Mengying knelt on the ground and lowered her head sincerely.

"It's so scary, you know? Why are you wearing white clothes? And the clothes are fluttering with the curtains! Besides, normal people wear shoes, so why are you barefoot?"

"…Magic power, not stained with dust."

“There’s no shadow!”

"... Transparency, no. Sorry."

"..."

An Xiaoxi almost fainted just now. Now she felt it was strange to see Jiang Mengying, who was obviously older than her but was kneeling on the ground to apologize.

"Um...you get up first. This is Oolong."

"…I still have something to apologize for."

"?"

"I wanted to meet you directly, but... I arrived too late. And I don't have your contact information."

"..."

An Xiaoxi's drum suddenly hit a round object. Some memories were slowly coming back, that is, the memories before the discovery of ghosts.

What are you doing?

Because the aftereffects of my brother-in-law’s extremely gentle care during those days have not dissipated at all, and I can share in his sweet mood…

"..."

Looking at Jiang Mengying again, her head was still buried low.

"I see you..."

"do not talk."

An Xiaoxi blushed, "I'm not usually like this, but today... today is an exception!"

“…Well, I do this all the time.”

"Eh?"

Could it be that her brother-in-law won't take care of her at all?
After all, there are so many preceding events.

Even if she accepted it, she would probably stay away from such a humble attitude... She would even be influenced by her brother-in-law's ability and would have to endure it alone.

A bit pitiful.

An Xiaoxi endured the shame of being caught by 0721, took a sip of water and said seriously, "Actually, I do this often too. After all, my brother-in-law has a lot of things to do... You see, I'm just 19 years old, a very energetic age. It's normal to want to stick together every day... Well, but I know I can't do that, so I won't bother my brother-in-law. Ah... I just..."

"No... I, I'm the type who, when I see a good woman obsessed with Mr. Ming, I can't help but feel happy."

"So after seeing it just now, I felt..."

"..."

An Xiaoxi was silent.

I took another sip of water. The cold water went down my throat, very cold.

"Sister Jiang."

"..."

"Can you go back? I'm embarrassed now."

11 month 7 day.

noon.

An Xiaoxi gradually got used to having someone around her.

Even though she said it on her own initiative, there's no need to make it transparent... just follow along normally.

"Hey, look at those two girls over there..."

“Is the quality too high?”

"No, the one on the left is obviously of higher quality. The one on the right is too young."

"How about going to talk to him?"

"If you want to go, go by yourself. How could a girl like this be without a man? They are not from the same class."

"..."

An Xiaoxi was used to the number of people turning their heads when she went out, but now with Jiang Mengying, many people would turn their heads wherever she went.

"Sister Xiaoxi... well, how about I change your sister's clothes?"

Now Jiang Mengying is wearing the smock dress that An Shiyao left at An Xiaoxi's place. Her seductive body curves are fully revealed.

"No, one of my dreams is to go out with all the sisters one day and have a 10% return rate share among them."

“Return rate…share?”

"Sister Jiang won't understand."

why?

Last year at school, I felt that the gazes were annoying and that I should be smaller. Now… in front of these sisters, I suddenly feel that I should drink more milk.

If you can't achieve high, you can't do low.

She doesn’t have the noble temperament of Sister Xue’er, nor the charm of her elder sister...and her figure is not as good as Sister Tia and the others, not to mention Sister Xiao Jiang next to her.

Could it be that I am the real 'branch'? A branch without any characteristics.

11 month 7 day.

in the afternoon.

An Xiaoxi brought Jiang Mengying out for a purpose. She knew very well that there was still a gap between Su Ming's sister and Jiang Mengying.

How can there be a rift between my sister-in-law and my younger sister?
If we try to create a family group as my sister suggested under this situation, the atmosphere will be wrong.

"It's so abrupt... I'll be hated if I go to see Xiaoyou, right?"

"Brother-in-law has already accepted you. And Xiaoyou is a typical brother-con. Do you understand?"

"..."

"Don't worry, leave it to me. Xiaoyou and I have a good relationship."

11 month 7 day.

in the afternoon.

"She threw away the things my brother gave her."

"Even if the blackmail had nothing to do with her directly, it doesn't change the fact that my brother went hungry because of her in this era."

"Can you understand my feelings?"

"It's very simple. Nothing else is needed. She just needs to take out the pendant that she threw away more than ten years ago. It's a gift from my brother."

"I can call her sister-in-law. Can you take it out?"

"..."

Faced with Su You, who rarely spoke so many words in one breath, An Xiaoxi was stunned.

It seemed to be much more complicated than she thought.

After holding it in for a long time, An Xiaoxi still didn't say the lines she had expected.

"But my brother-in-law has already accepted it. This means there must be some misunderstanding."

"My brother was deceived for a moment. You were deceived by her appearance as well. Are you going to join her camp? After listening to all I have said, you don't have the slightest dislike for her?"

"..."

Yes, I feel touched.

For example, spoiling gifts, blackmailing... But what An Xiaoxi saw in the knife, in the end, they had already reconciled. With this filter, plus Jiang Mengying's humble attitude yesterday.

"You're right. I've only had my brother since a long time ago."

"I don't want him to cheat on anyone again. I'll keep an eye on him. Including you."

"Before that... coupled with your reaction just now, I think I need to re-evaluate you. You don't have to deliberately build a good relationship with me. My idea is very simple. I will be good to whoever is good to me."

A dead chess piece?
An Xiaoxi went back feeling somewhat conflicted, not knowing how to start talking to Jiang Mengying.

apartment.

"A gift?"

"I have."

Jiang Mengying took out a very mini frog doll from her card holder. It looked like it had been stitched a lot and was very old... and very torn.

"Eh?"

An Xiaoxi was stunned. Su You was so sure just now that she was a little angry... destroying the gift from the person you like, and throwing it into the trash can in front of him.

"I, I picked it up again later..."

"..."

Ok.

Sure enough, just as he had observed when he was still 'Dao', this person's nature was not what Su You said.

So, what to do?
Hit your sister-in-law in the face?

11 month 7 day.

in the afternoon.

An Xiaoxi took the pendant and went to see Su You again. She called her out of the library and showed it to her.

"..."

Su You was obviously silent.

"Actually... Sister Jiang isn't that bad by nature. It's just a misunderstanding."

"It's a fake. It's an act. I saw her throw it away with my own eyes."

"No, what she described is very true. I can confirm that it is not false."

To be honest, it's a bit disgusting. Picking it up from the trash can full of all kinds of dirt and stench, washing it clean... It's not like something that can be portrayed in fiction at all.

And that expression full of apology and relief for having picked it up... is not something that can be faked.

"..."

Su You took the pendant to confirm it and looked for the label inside.

silent.

Then he returned the pendant to An Xiaoxi, raised his face and stared at An Xiaoxi.

"Why do you call me sister-in-law?"

"Eh? In terms of relationship..."

"Aren't you my sister-in-law? Sister An is right to call me sister-in-law."

"..."

Could it be that the name you use to bring people closer is actually doing something bad?

"You don't want to have one more person who is the only one calling you, right?"

"?"

"I won't call her sister-in-law, and you don't let her call me sister-in-law. I'm going to continue reading. Pretend I never said anything. For now... I don't want to meet. Hmm."

11 month 7 day.

Night.

Jiang Mengying was still outside the school, anxiously waiting for news. In fact, she could have gone to the library without telling anyone... but she was a little scared.

"..."

An Xiaoxi finally came out.

"solved."

"Eh? Xiaoyou, that's..."

"Yes, it shouldn't be a big deal. Even if she still can't figure it out, she should think about it again this time. Find an opportunity for you two to meet in a couple of days and it should be completely resolved."

"By the way, don't call her sister-in-law. Don't do that until your relationship becomes better."

"Sister-in-law? I, I definitely won't..."

"...Then there will be absolutely no problem."

An Xiaoxi felt inexplicably refreshed.

Isn’t this a big deal?

The relationship with my sister-in-law is so close. I said before that I was doubting my sister's and my feelings for my brother-in-law... but it suddenly reversed.

cough cough.

I shouldn't feel happy about slapping my sister-in-law in the face.

but!

Even my sister never called her sister-in-law, but the "branch" with no characteristics. What is this name? It directly touches the soft spot of the brother-in-law. Who would hate a wife who can make the "family" relationship very harmonious?
Hey.

11 month 7 day.

late at night.

Su You returned to the rented house and saw books everywhere.

But very neat.

I was lying on the bed with my knees hugged, not reading like usual... I was just daydreaming.

Even if I take out the ornaments, I still hate it.

But this kind of dislike is... weird. It's not just because of the past. Why did I dislike her in the first place?

what.

Because of her, sometimes I don't see anyone when I go home. When I see her, she doesn't pay all her attention to me. It's as if she is the younger sister and I am redundant.

We were still little kids at that time. I just kept babbling and hoped that my brother would always take care of me as his sister. Compared to the money that was stained with sweat... the happiest thing was playing pirated games together. We could have become good siblings a long time ago, but it took so long because of her.

But if it weren't for her, I might never know what kind of pressure my brother was under to take care of himself.

Take out your phone.

【…】

The edited message was deleted again.

I have accepted it.

No matter how much I insist, it seems meaningless to say anything... I picked up the ornament. In other words, I really liked it at that time.

In fact, judging from the people around me now, even if she is a bad woman...it is not my turn to stare at her.

It's just that after getting the photo and meeting again... destroy it.

The ornaments are still there.

Why keep it?
I wish I hadn't kept her. Finally... I found a woman who I could reject for many legitimate reasons.

"Read a book."

Ok.

If my brother knew about this thought, I wouldn’t know what to do next time we meet.

It's still the same as before, keeping the original idea, as long as I want... to be happy and live a good life. Even if she is really a bad woman, I will accept it, it's just that there will be an extra ending.

[From a sociological perspective, modern people care more about spiritual losses, especially reputation, than economic losses...]

Perhaps, these things will never be useful to them. This is also good...
