Zhou Chiye did not miss the wariness in his brother's eyes.

He gave a disgruntled snort, raised his chin, and spoke with a barbed tone.

"The guest room looks perfectly clean, so why is it inconvenient?"

Xu Qingyu, who had just finished washing his hands in the kitchen, suddenly stopped, and the atmosphere became very tense.

Jiang Li was watching the show while complaining to the system.

"Tongzi, look, Zhou Yanchuan is panicking."

Of course I'm panicking, since you two sleep in separate rooms and he's the one staying in the guest room.

If this little wolfhound moves in, won't he have to share a bedroom with you, Baozi?

[But don't worry, Baozi, Zhou Yanchuan will probably sleep on the floor.]

Jiang Li was initially a little flustered by what the system said, but she relaxed after hearing the second half of the sentence.

"Chi Ye, stop fooling around."

Zhou Yanchuan's tone became a bit more serious.

"Staying for a few days is considered ridiculous?"

Zhou Chiye tossed aside the pillow.

"There are many courts nearby, so I go out to practice in the morning without disturbing you."

"inconvenient."

"Where is it inconvenient?"

Zhou Yanchuan did not answer.

Zhou Chiye was intelligent; he had been able to read people's expressions since he was a child.

If you let him stay, he'll eventually find out about his relationship with Xu Qingyu.

The company is currently preparing for financing, and the family can't afford any more trouble.

"I'll take you back."

"don't want."

Seeing Zhou Yanchuan's resolute attitude, Zhou Chiye rolled his eyes and stood up directly from the sofa.

He strode over to Jiang Li's side.

As soon as Jiang Li sat down on the single sofa, the space next to her immediately sank in.

Zhou Chiye squeezed through without any hesitation.

Despite being 1.9 meters tall, he squeezed himself onto the edge of the single sofa.

A strong arm draped over Jiang Li's shoulder.

The boy's cool minty scent, mixed with the steam from his recent shower, enveloped her completely.

The warmth of my palm traveled through the thin fabric, and it was incredibly hot.

The boy bent down, bringing his head close to her shoulder, his voice soft and sticky.

"elder sister."

Jiang Li felt a warm weight pressing down on her shoulder.

His palm rested on her shoulder, his fingers long and strong, the tips of which restlessly brushed against the fabric of her shoulder.

That slight touch was amplified three times by the skill, and the tingling sensation spread from the shoulder to the back of the neck.

Jiang Li clenched her fists.

[The system is back again.]

[Using his younger brother's identity to get closer, this little wolf cub has such survival wisdom!]

"Please let me stay."

Zhou Chiye looked down at her, his voice filled with deep grievance.

"I'll be very well-behaved and will never cause you any trouble."

He moved closer to Jiang Li, his tone becoming increasingly soft.

"I can help with washing dishes, sweeping, and tidying up, anything."

"Sister, can I stay? I'll be very good."

The boy's dark dog stared at her with pleading eyes, its beauty mark under its right eye making it look especially pitiful.

Jiang Li felt the warmth of the hand on her shoulder.

Of course she knew what he was doing.

A tall, 1.95-meter-tall guy leans down and snuggles against your shoulder, saying in a spoiled tone, "I'll be very good."

Who could refuse?

Anyway, Jiang Li's bones melted at his calling her "sister".

[Help! System! He called me "sister"!]

[He's still acting cute! Who could resist a 1.9-meter-tall, abs-wearing, and adorable young man!]

【Baby, stay calm, don't let your image crumble! You're a pure and innocent little flower!】

Jiang Li took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the upward curve of her lips.

She looked at Zhou Yanchuan with feigned difficulty.

"Brother Yanchuan, it's normal for Ono to want to relax after just finishing his college entrance exams."

"Let him stay for a few days; it won't disturb your work."

Her tone was soft, lacking any assertiveness or willingness to take charge.

Just like the docile original owner of the body, she tentatively sought her husband's opinion.

Zhou Yanchuan glanced at his younger brother's arm draped over Jiang Li's shoulder.

The three of them grew up together.

When Zhou Chiye was seven years old, Jiang Li moved into the Zhou family home. At that time, he was still a brat and would chase after Jiang Li all day, calling her "sister."

In Zhou Yanchuan's mind, this kind of physical contact was a common way for siblings to act affectionately.

He still thought of Zhou Chiye as an immature child.

"Alright."

Zhou Yanchuan pinched the bridge of his nose helplessly.

"You can only stay for a few days, but we still need to take you back to your parents' place to get a change of clothes."

Zhou Chiye immediately dropped his pitiful expression and smiled brightly.

"I'm not going back to get it."

He stood up, stretched, and the muscles on his upper arms stretched with the movement.

"I've finally escaped this misery, and now I need to buy all my new clothes and personal items."

He turned to look at Jiang Li, his smile innocent and harmless.

"Sister, will you come with me to the nearby mall to buy some things?"

Zhou Chiye tilted his head, speaking with an air of self-righteousness.

"I don't know what kind of towel and toothbrush to buy. My sister has good taste, so she helped me choose."

A tall, 1.95-meter-tall guy, with a squinty eye, asks you if you can go shopping with him.

Jiang Li was almost dazzled by that face.

[What 19-year-old boy doesn't know how to buy a toothbrush? Stop pretending.]

But Bao, he's acting so cute!

[Shut up.]

"OK."

Jiang Li stood up and smiled at him.

"I was just thinking of going out for a walk."

Zhou Yanchuan couldn't wait for them to leave.

As long as Zhou Chiye isn't home, he can spend more time with Xu Qingyu.

"Go early and come back early, and be careful."

Zhou Yanchuan urged him on.

Zhou Chiye straightened up and gave his brother an OK sign.

"Don't worry, brother, I'll take good care of sister."

Take good care of them.

The three words came out of his mouth lightly, like a younger brother making a polite promise to his son.

But when he lowered his eyes, the things churning in his dark pupils had nothing to do with "younger brother".

Stay here first, stay by her side.

The rest can be dealt with slowly.

Zhou Chiye picked up the umbrella from the entryway and casually pushed open the door.

He walked beside Jiang Li, slowing his pace considerably.

He usually walks with very long strides, but now, in keeping with Jiang Li's short legs, he walks in a relaxed and leisurely manner.

The motion-sensor lights in the corridor were on.

Zhou Chiye walked ahead, his broad shoulders completely blocking her view.

The two walked to the elevator entrance, and Zhou Chiye pressed the down button.

The elevator doors opened, and the elevator was empty.

Jiang Li walked in, turned around and stood still.

Zhou Chiye followed him in and pressed the button for the first floor.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, they completely shut out the outside corridor.

There were only the two of them in the cramped sedan chair.

The minty scent emanating from Zhou Chiye was amplified in the confined space.

Jiang Li felt that the air had become thinner.

She looked up, about to ask him which shopping mall he planned to go to.

But they found that the smile on Zhou Chiye's face had completely disappeared.

The well-behaved, affectionate boy who was just inside the house is gone.

Instead, there are extremely oppressive adult men.

Zhou Chiye turned around to face her.

He was very tall, standing in front of her, blocking most of the light.

The shadows enveloped Jiang Li directly.

The boy suddenly took a step forward.

Jiang Li was startled and instinctively stepped back.

The back was directly attached to the metal wall of the elevator car.

Zhou Chiye did not stop.

He continued forward until the distance between them was less than half an arm's length.

He raised one hand and braced it against the sedan chair wall next to Jiang Li's ear.

The warmth and scent of a man wafted over me.
