My sickly little sister is too clingy, I just keep sticking to her.

interesting?

That's so interesting.

At this moment, Chen Xue's eyes shone with anticipation, but Chen Xia fell into a long-lost silence, and even the way he looked at Chen Xue had changed.

"What? Is there a problem...?"

“…………”

has a problem!

There's a big problem.

My sister's curls!

Chen Xue might not know what this was, but Chen Xia certainly did. Looking at the little sister's scroll in his hand, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

I don't know how much time passed.

Half a minute.

One minute.

Finally… Chen Xia's voice came through: "Xiao Xue, do you know what this means?"

"I know!"

"???"

What the hell?

How did you know?

But if you knew that, why did you still give it to me?

"I've seen similar content before."

"!!!"

"With this 'little sister scroll,' you can assign your little sister tasks, like picking up takeout, cleaning, massaging her shoulders and legs, or what else..."

“…………”

originally……

Chen Xia's expression changed.

But after hearing this, his expression immediately softened.

(ˉ▽￣～) Tsk~~

What did I think it was?

That's it!

But this was also the answer Chen Xia wanted, after all, Wang Zi's previous words, combined with her younger sister's previous remarks, were quite impactful.

But now it seems...

You're overthinking things.

That possibility would absolutely never arise between the two of them.

absolute!

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and completely relaxed: "If nothing unexpected happens, I probably won't need it in my lifetime."

"Huh? Why?"

"What else could it be?"

As he spoke~

Chen Xia smiled frankly: "With my brother here, how could I let my sister do chores? Don't you think so?"

"You...you..."

Brother~

Please stop radiating your personal charm and stop saying things that could lead to misunderstandings.

*Sobbing*

For a moment, Chen Xue's face turned slightly red.

As a loyal fan of that summer, I naturally know what the little sister roll represents. Basically, whenever it appears, it means that some exciting and erotic scenes will be seen in the following chapters.

Now you're here?

If you're not allowed to work, then what are you supposed to do?

OK.

OK.

At this moment... Chen Xia also noticed the change in Chen Xue's expression. From the moment she left until now, she had been keeping her head down, and there seemed to be something wrong with her face.

Somewhat red.

"Xiaoxue, are you... feeling unwell?"

"Um... um..."

Why?

Chen Xue knew, but could she say it?

No!

Therefore... she needed to find a reason. After seeing the food on the table, Chen Xue immediately said, "Isn't it because the food you made today was too spicy, brother?"

"???"

Is that true?

Before Chen Xia could ask, Chen Xue had already stood up and said, "Brother! I didn't sleep well last night, so I'll go to bed early tonight. You take your time eating, I'm leaving now."

"what?"

That's all~

The person simply ran away.

Chen Xia was somewhat bewildered by this.

So?

It seems so.

Next time I make bell pepper and bean curd sheets, I'll do some preliminary processing.

Ah!

That should be correct.

However, only the parties involved know the specifics of the matter. After returning to her room, Chen Xue did not go to bed but leaned against the door.

He kept panting...exhaling...

She wanted to use this method to soothe her mood. Normally, she wouldn't have such a strong reaction, but after hearing Wang Zi's name, she felt a little irritable.

It's all her fault~

Even my own brother is starting to be on guard.

Hate!

But the thought of going on a date tomorrow cheered me up.

Although she couldn't do anything, she was already very satisfied. In fact, after thinking about what tomorrow would bring, she was already eager to try it out. After getting up, Chen Xue began to choose her clothes for tomorrow.

My brother likes to see me in dresses, and I happen to have a black slip dress. Pairing it with a black jacket seems pretty good. As for shoes, I'll wear sandals.

and also……

In short, all aspects need to be prepared.

Hee hee hee.

Everything is ready, except for the final push.

go to bed.

go to bed.

For some reason, she felt a sense of peace after lying in bed.

Is it because it's nighttime?

Do not!

It was because of the clothes she was wearing. It was her older brother's white shirt, and it was the only piece of clothing she was wearing. Chen Xue sniffed it gently.

It seems like...

You can smell a hint of stale summer scent from it.

At this moment, Chen Xue had a feeling that her brother was not outside, but beside her, as if he were stroking and embracing her.

There might be some shame, but more than that, there's a sense of reassurance.

Gradually~

Time passed, and Chen Xue gradually fell asleep.

Quilt?

Not at all.

This oversized shirt served as her blanket, and to feel even more secure, she adjusted her position while sleeping.

Clamping the hem of my T-shirt between my legs, I...sink into tranquility.

At the same time~

Where is Chen Xia?

Naturally, he was writing furiously.

Typing.

Typing.

Finally... after an unknown amount of time, Chen Xia breathed a sigh of relief after the scheduled update for tomorrow. There was only one hour left until midnight.

Thank goodness... thank goodness...

I was just about to go to sleep, but then...

Here comes the news.

Not parents, not editors, and not a group chat.

But...

Aunt.

[Wang Xiaoman: Is Xiaoxue asleep?]

"!!!"

Upon seeing this message, Chen Xia was initially taken aback.

Then something came to mind.

Wang Zi!

She said she was Chen Xue's aunt, but... her own sister said she didn't know her.

What the hell is this?

Chen Xia wanted to figure it out, and just then... her aunt sent a message.

Direct voice call.

"Um?"

After seeing this notification, Wang Xiaoman was also a little confused. She had just sent the message and the other party called. Could it be that... something was wrong?

Once the idea came to her, she didn't dare to delay at all.

The call was connected immediately.

"Xia, why are you calling so urgently? Has something happened to Xue?"

"No~"

"That is..."

"That's how it is..."

Chen Xia didn't waste any words and explained his problem. At first, Wang Xiaoman looked nervous, but after understanding the reason, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

What did I think it was?

That's it?

"In the past, the one-child policy was strictly enforced. After my brother and I were born, my parents didn't want to have any more children. But then, by accident, she got pregnant with Azi!"

"???"

"Back then, the investigations were strict. Not only were there fines, but serious cases could also lead to jail time. To avoid these consequences, my family discussed it and decided to adopt the child to my second uncle, who happened to be childless. Later, my family moved and we lost touch... It's normal that you younger generation don't know this."

“…………”

Is that true?

It seems... not entirely unacceptable.

Because such situations did indeed occur during the previous family planning policy.

He has a friend who is like that.

Because of having more children than allowed!

Not only was he fined tens of thousands of yuan, but my father was also arrested and imprisoned.

For this reason... he was given the name "Punishment".

true!

It will affect you for a lifetime.

In comparison, Wang Zi's situation is relatively better.

"No wonder..."

"Any other questions?"

"No...that's all..."

Chen Xia shook his head. As long as Wang Zi's identity was confirmed, that was fine. However... just as he was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Aunt... do you have any news about my parents? When are they coming back?"

"That actually exists."

"real?"

Wang Xiaoman nodded: "Yes! When we talked about Xiaoxue before, they said... the project should be finished before July, and she'll most likely be back by the end of June. It's normal that your parents are busy with work..."

Is this normal?

That's normal.

Chen Xia's parents work as teaching and research lecturers and are quite well-known in the industry. As a result, they often have to travel all over the country and are rarely home.

I might have missed it before, but not anymore.

the reason is simple.

I have a younger sister.

It felt good to have more people in the house, and... Chen Xia even had a strange thought: it would be best if these two came back a little later.

Just as I was pondering these things, Wang Xiaoman's voice came again: "By the way, how's Xiaoxue's recovery? How long will it take for her to fully recover?"

Chen Xia didn't hide anything and stated Wang Zi's assessment: "If the test results are still normal after two to three weeks, it can be considered a complete recovery."

"Perfect!"

"Um?"

"Your parents should be back by then, so we can get together. If Xiaoxue recovers, we can bring her back. We can't keep troubling you, can we?"

trouble?

No, no!

Chen Xia shook her head repeatedly: "What's the trouble? We're all family. I get bored at home alone. With one more person... the house will feel more lively."

"I know... but Xiaoxue still has to take the college entrance exam, after all, she's in her final year of high school..."

To be honest~

At that moment, Chen Xia felt a pang of reluctance.

Why are you leaving?

He even had a thought: could his parents come back later, so that... Chen Xue could stay a few more days?

That was my original thought, but after hearing what my aunt said...

His expression changed!

Wang Xiaoman didn't know, but... Chen Xia did.

Perhaps he wouldn't reopen old wounds, but he could try to say something else. He immediately coughed lightly and said, "Auntie! I fully support your idea. In this society, going to university is very important, but I'm thinking... should we transfer Xiaoxue to another school?"

"Huh? Why...?"

In short~

Chen Xia's eyes lit up.

I'm not afraid of the other person not asking, I'm afraid of the other person refusing.

Now you're asking!

This meant that the other party had already started to consider the matter, so Chen Xia immediately stated her reason: "Xiaoxue's health is fine, we all know that."

"But what about the others?"

"There are so many people at school, I'm afraid if rumors start circulating..."

"!!!"

Chen Xia didn't say anything definitive, but that was enough.

Only by not mentioning death can one evoke imagination.

Wang Xiaoman had already considered this, and Chen Xia's words only strengthened her resolve: "I will consider these things. If it were you, which school would you recommend transferring to?"

"Well... I don't know much about this. You can consult my parents or ask the person in question, Xiaoxue."

"Okay, I understand..."

Then...

The two chatted for a while longer.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Xia felt a little sentimental. Happy life is always short-lived. Perhaps there was a tiny bit of reluctance, but that's just how reality is.

Take your time~

At least……

Chen Xue is still alive.

At the same time, he could also look forward to tomorrow. He never expected that he would have a day where he would pretend to be her boyfriend. For Chen Xue, this was a source of inspiration.

But for Chen Xia, it was actually the same.

Yes, that's fine.

It's almost time.

go to bed.

go to bed.

Say goodbye to yesterday, embrace the future.

Tomorrow~

I am coming!
