Strange in public! Addicted in private! Pampered every night.

Four people walked into the living room.

Jiang Yaoxue sat on the sofa, and Qin Yuyan clung to her, sitting next to her.

Song Xinya sat on the sofa opposite, with Qin Yuhe sitting next to her.

His thigh was pressed against her thigh.

Qin Yuyan's eyes darted back and forth between Song Xinya and Qin Yuhe's thighs.

Why isn't her brother acting like men and women shouldn't be touching each other now?

His brother's thigh was too close to Teacher Song's thigh.

Doesn't this exceed normal social distancing?

As Qin Yuyan was pondering, Jiang Yaoxue picked up a pink gift box and held it in front of her.

"Yanyan, this is a birthday present from your mother."

Qin Yuyan took the pink gift box: "What gift did Mom give me?"

Jiang Yaoxue: "Open it and take a look."

The gift box was opened, and a crown studded with diamonds came into Qin Yuyan's view.

It is surrounded by 300 dazzling pink, yellow and colorless diamonds.

The central giant pink diamond weighs 50 carats and is a vibrant cherry blossom pink.

All diamonds are cut using the classic baguette step cut technique, with clean geometric lines that exude unparalleled luxurious brilliance.

Qin Yuyan: "A pink crown! I've always wanted one, but it was kept by a collector, so I've never been able to have one!"

Jiang Yaoxue looked at her lovingly: "Now you have it."

She placed the pink crown on Qin Yuyan's head.

Qin Yuyan looked at Jiang Yaoxue and asked, "Mom, am I pretty?"

Jiang Yaoxue: "It looks good."

Qin Yuyan looked at Song Xinya and asked, "Teacher Song, am I pretty?"

Song Xinya: "It looks good."

Qin Yuyan looked at Qin Yuhe and asked, "Brother, am I pretty?"

Qin Yuhe: "Ugly."

Qin Yuyan's upturned lips drooped down.

Song Xinya slapped Qin Yuhe's thigh: "Don't talk about her like that."

Qin Yuhe: "To be honest."

Qin Yuyan: "Everyone says we look alike. I'm ugly, and you're ugly too!"

Qin Yuhe: "Even if I'm ugly, I'm smart. Unlike you, you're as stupid as an unintelligent monkey."

Qin Yuyan clutched her chest, making a gesture as if she were spitting blood: "Pfft—"

Her brother has such a sharp tongue; if he kissed her, she would have to get a rabies shot.

I feel so sorry for her sister-in-law whom she has never met.

Qin Yuyan glared at Qin Yuhe, crossed her arms, turned her head to the side, and snorted heavily, "I'm angry!"

Qin Yuhe sipped his tea slowly and deliberately, without trying to appease her.

Qin Yuyan's anger lasted only three seconds before her attention shifted to the red gift box next to Jiang Yaoxue.

"Mom, did you bring me two birthday presents today?"

"No," Jiang Yaoxue picked up the red gift box and handed it to Song Xinya: "Yaya, this gift is for you."

Song Xinya opened the gift box and saw a ruby ​​necklace.

Each ruby ​​is bright and clear, its deep red color containing a calming power, like solidified arterial blood frozen in time, vivid and lustrous.

Qin Yuyan exclaimed, "Pigeon Blood Crimson Flame! A one-of-a-kind custom-made jewelry set!"

It is worth 2000 million RMB.

Although her mother was very generous, money didn't come easily, and she had never given anyone such an expensive gift before.

Why was her mother so generous to Teacher Song?

That's strange.

Seeing Qin Yuyan staring intently at the ruby ​​necklace, Song Xinya asked, "You want it?"

Qin Yuyan: "I don't want it. This is a gift from Mom. It's yours, and even if I like it, I don't want it."

Because Qin Yuhe had just called her stupid, the little princess wanted to salvage the situation.

She coughed, cleared her throat, and, wanting to showcase her literary talent, said, "This is what they call, 'A gentleman's word is as good as his bond.'"

What nonsense about a gentleman's word being as good as his bond? It's completely unrelated.

Qin Yuhe's lips curled into a playful smile: "Are you trying to say that a gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way?"

Qin Yuyan: ಥ_ಥ

Yes.

Sure enough, she was met with another mocking remark from her brother.

Qin Yuhe: "Pretending to know what you don't means you'll always be a good-for-nothing."

Qin Yuyan: ˃̣̣̥᷄⌓˂̣̣̥᷅

Crying and chirping.

To prevent the little princess from crying, Jiang Yaoxue pulled Qin Yuyan to her feet and walked towards the kitchen.

"Yanyan, don't you love Mommy's honey cupcakes the most? Mommy will make some for you now."

Qin Yuyan followed them into the kitchen, and as she passed Qin Yuhe, she stuck out her tongue and said, "Hehehehehe."

Qin Yuhe simply assumed it was a puppy sticking out its tongue and ignored her childish behavior.

The kitchen is open-plan, without a door, and connected to the living room.

The sounds of Jiang Yaoxue and Qin Yuyan talking could be heard into the living room from time to time.

Qin Yuhe placed his palm on Song Xinya's thigh.

The two people sat facing the kitchen.

The man's hand on my thigh was burning hot, like a brand.

Song Xinya stood up from the sofa, and the man's palm slid down her thigh, caressing her slender and smooth calves.

"I forgot to put Yan Yan's pet snakes away, so I put them back in the box."

Qin Yuhe stood up with her: "Aren't you afraid of snakes?"

Song Xinya walked to the table, picked up the small snakes one by one, and put them into their nest.

"Don't worry, these pet snakes are quite cute."

Qin Yuhe wasn't afraid of snakes, but looking at these long, thin creatures, he couldn't see anything cute about them.

He never touches these things.

I hate the cold, sticky feeling when I hold these things in my hands.

Song Xinya caught the snakes one by one.

There was a particularly mischievous snake. When she reached out to grab it, it would crawl forward. When she stopped grabbing it, it would stop.

The snake slithered to the table, successfully "escaped," and tumbled to the ground.

Song Xinya chased after it, but it ran faster than a rabbit.

It slithered towards the door in a serpentine pattern, seemingly about to escape through the gate.

Once it's outside, it can easily disappear into the bushes, making it even harder to catch.

Song Xinya never imagined that she would be running after a snake in high heels in her lifetime.

She slipped and bumped into the door beside her.

Her slender waist was grasped by a pair of large hands. Qin Yuhe pinched her waist and pulled her back.

She bumped into his arms.

Song Xinya's mind was completely focused on the snake. Pointing at the door, she cried, "Snake, snake, snake! It's trying to escape!"

Qin Yuhe released his grip on her waist and strode towards the door: "Wait, I'll go get it."

Just as the little snake was about to regain its freedom, Qin Yuhe reached out and pinched its vital spot.

Song Xinya saw the expression of "angina" on a snake's face.

Qin Yuhe threw the snake back into the box.

Song Xinya went to pick up the remaining snakes.

"You stand here, I'll clean up," Qin Yuhe said, his tall and handsome figure standing in front of her.

Just as people can be selective in their treatment of others, so too can snakes.

When Qin Yuhe went to catch the snakes, those snakes that were originally crawling and scrambling around all lay still.

Song Xinya was amazed by what she saw.

A bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong.

Qin Yuhe threw all the snakes into the box, closed the lid, and took Song Xinya's hand: "Go wash your hands."

Song Xinya saw him lather the soap five times: "Do you hate touching snakes?"

Qin Yuhe: "How annoying."

Song Xinya: "Then why were you grabbing me just now?"

Qin Yuhe: "I can't stand seeing a few snakes bullying you."

Song Xinya blinked her eyelashes and smiled.

After washing his hands, Qin Yuhe said, "The lotus flowers in the pond in the yard are in full bloom. Shall we go admire them together?"

Song Xinya: "Sure, I haven't really appreciated lotus flowers yet."

Willow trees are planted beside the lotus pond. Their green color is like smoke, and their soft branches droop gracefully to the riverbank. When the wind blows, thousands of branches sway gently, filling the pond with tenderness.

In the lotus pond, the blooming lotus flowers stand alone, their pink petals like jade, their tender stamens exuding fragrance.

At the end of the pond, it merges with the azure sky.

The scene was spectacular, beautiful, and romantic.

Song Xinya stood by the water, under a willow tree, her slender figure graceful and elegant, her silky long hair gently swaying in the wind.

The lotus stands tall and graceful, and so does she.

"Song Xinya".

Qin Yuhe's voice came from behind.

Song Xinya turned around, a gentle breeze blowing in her face. Her smooth hair floated in the air in beautiful arcs, like wisps of ink-black smoke spreading out. Behind her was an endless expanse of lotus flowers, and beside her were soft, drooping willow branches. The scene was as beautiful as a painting.

Qin Yuhe held up his phone, pointed the camera at her, and took a picture of her.

With a click, the image froze.

Song Xinya looked a little embarrassed: "I haven't properly adjusted my expression or struck a pose yet."

Qin Yuhe: "You don't need to do any of that. Just take a picture casually, and it will look beautiful no matter what."

She walked up to him, leaned close to him, and looked down at her phone screen.

The two were close together, forehead to forehead, their breaths mingling.

Song Xinya wrapped one arm around his back, while Qin Yuhe put his other arm around her waist.

The pond was directly opposite the kitchen window, and Qin Yuyan looked up to see two people embracing each other.

Holy crap! What's going on?! Her brother is cheating on her with her tutor!!!
