The way she called out "sister" was so soft and affectionate.

Jiang Li couldn't stand this blatant flattery, so she lowered her head and pretended to drink the soup.

Zhou Chiye stood up.

His tall figure, carrying a heavy sense of oppression, loomed over her.

He reached past Jiang Li's petite body, stretched out his well-defined arm, and took the empty bowl next to him.

Jiang Li subconsciously looked up, wanting to say, "I'll help you get it."

The moment she raised her face, Zhou Chiye's toe seemed to trip over a table leg, causing his body to lean forward half an inch.

The warm, slightly cool lips pressed directly against the corner of her lips.

Time was paused.

Jiang Li's brain completely shut down.

The boy's lips were moist, full and soft.

He not only touched the corner of her lips, but also deliberately pressed them closer together.

His cool minty scent, mixed with the warmth of the young man's body, enveloped her breath.

The sweet fragrance of pear blossom milk on Jiang Li's body was also brought out, intertwined with the scent of mint, tightly enveloping the two of them.

Those few seconds felt incredibly long before Zhou Chiye finally stepped back.

His tall, broad body was taut like a fully drawn bow, his Adam's apple bobbing rapidly.

His strikingly handsome face was flushed with an barely suppressed blush that burned all the way to his ears.

"I'm sorry, sister, I lost my balance."

The boy's ears turned bright red, and his panic was completely undetectable.

But those clear, black and white eyes were surprisingly bright.

Like a lone wolf locking onto its prey at night, it possesses an undisguised greed.

Her lips were softer than he had imagined, and the sweet scent of pear blossom milk seeped in with his breath.

He had calculated the distance carefully, but he didn't expect that just one touch would make the blood in his body feel hot.

I want to get closer.

"Baby, he's lying, he's doing it on purpose!"

A 1.95-meter-tall key player on the basketball team can't even stand steadily on flat ground?

Jiang Li pursed her lips tightly, turning her face away from his feigned innocent expression.

Her voice was a little unsteady: "It's okay, just be more careful next time."

Zhou Chiye obediently agreed and turned to serve the soup.

But when he lowered his head to scoop the soup, he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

The soft, warm touch of her lips still lingered on my lips.

This was a hundred times more intoxicating than he had anticipated.

However, my older sister seems quite naive!

They're even more innocent than me, why is that?

In the latter half of the meal, the atmosphere between the two became subtle.

Jiang Li dared not look up again, and Zhou Chiye also became much quieter, but his gaze lingered on her more frequently than before.

Their eyes occasionally met, but Jiang Li would look away first.

He chuckled softly, his voice carrying the undisguised joy of a young man.

After dinner, the two of them took the stewed fish soup to the hospital again.

Only Zhou Yanchuan and Xu Qingyu were in the ward.

On the table sat a familiar insulated food container, filled with exquisite dishes.

Xu Qingyu stood by the bed, head down, tidying up the tableware.

His usually aloof face was now flushed with an unnatural redness.

Her eyes were misty with moisture, and her lips were an excessively bright red.

Zhou Yanchuan took a tissue from the bedside table and slowly wiped his fingers.

The two were so close that they exceeded the normal boundaries between superiors and subordinates, and even the air was filled with an indescribable sticky tension.

Zhou Chiye's gaze swept over the two faces.

"Brother, Assistant Xu is bringing food again?"

Zhou Chiye spoke with a smile, but his eyes remained fixed on the two people's mouths.

Xu Qingyu reached out to straighten his buttons: "I had a document to sign at the company, so I just happened to be passing by."

"He's busy working even on weekends; Assistant Xu really cares about my brother."

Zhou Yanchuan sensed the barbed meaning and frowned, saying, "Chi Ye, don't be disrespectful."

Zhou Chiye raised an eyebrow and gave an innocent smile, but his dark pupils turned cold.

He turned his head to look at Jiang Li.

The girl tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion, looking completely bewildered.

Zhou Chiye felt a tightness in his chest.

My sister is too naive; she hasn't even noticed the strange relationship between my brother and this assistant yet.

The boy already had some guesses in his mind, but these guesses were not enough.

After all, this was too absurd, even more absurd than his own love for his sister.

Footsteps came from the other end of the corridor, and Mr. and Mrs. Zhou walked over carrying bags of fruit.

"Ono, Kori, you're here, why aren't you going in?"

Zhou's mother smiled and pushed open the door.

Xu Qingyu picked up the documents on the table, lowered his head and said that he had urgent business to attend to at the company, then hurriedly walked past them and left.

Zhou's mother didn't notice anything amiss. She pulled Jiang Li to sit by the hospital bed, her gaze shifting back and forth between Jiang Li and Zhou Yanchuan.

The elders' faces showed no sign of kindness or expectation.

"Xiao Li."

Zhou's mother grasped Jiang Li's soft, slender wrist, her tone gentle yet urging.

"You and Yanchuan have been married for more than half a year now."

"While you're both still young and in good health, when do you plan to start thinking about having children?"

Zhou Chiye leaned against the corner of the wall, his smile completely gone.

His tall figure was bathed in the light of the hospital room's fluorescent lamp, his long, strong fingers clenched tightly at his sides.

Zhou's father chimed in, "Yanchuan is already thirty. You should have children soon; the family can help take care of them."

"Dad, Mom, she's still young."

Zhou Yanchuan leaned against the headboard and said gently, "We'll talk about this later. Don't put pressure on her."

The phrase "she's still young" sent a bitter shiver down Zhou Chiye's spine.

Zhou Chiye closed his eyes, trying to suppress his surging possessiveness.

Hearing his brother's hypocritical excuses, he felt a surge of bitterness in his heart, and his teeth ached so much that they clenched.

The treasure he cherished so dearly that he dared not touch it was being used by them as a tool to appease their elders.

He wished he could rush over right now and drag her out of this disgusting room.

"Tongzi, think of something quick, the little wolf is about to go berserk."

Look at the veins on his hands, they're practically bursting.

Jiang Li bit her lip, frantically calling for help in her mind.

"Baby, don't panic."

He wouldn't dare to contradict him in front of the whole family, but he'll definitely go crazy trying to make amends when he gets home. Prepare your back to hurt.

The system kept playing a gloating mechanical sound.

Jiang Li forced herself to act shy and lowered her head.

Seeing this, Zhou Yanchuan quickly changed the subject again.

"This fish soup smells amazing! Ono, come and let me try it!"

He came out of the ward.

The two barely spoke the rest of the way.

This was the first time Jiang Li had known Zhou Chiye for so long.

[Tongzi, is he about to explode?]

Bao, right now he's probably playing out a hundred ways to make his brother disappear in his head.

Take it easy, don't flirt with him right now, or you'll get yourself into trouble.

Jiang Li pursed her lips, not daring to utter a sound.

Zhou Chiye's mind was filled with images from the ward not long ago.

Jealousy and bitterness churned in the boy's chest.

His fingers, hanging at his sides, unconsciously tightened, the knuckles turning pale.

A wicked thought popped into my head again.

If something else happens to my brother, will that buy me some time?

This leg injury means I won't be able to move for a month.

Should we do it harder next time?

A deep blackness appeared in Zhou Chiye's eyes, like thick ink that couldn't be dissolved.

But he quickly suppressed the thought.

Injury does not solve the fundamental problem.

He had to find a way to get his brother and sister to divorce completely.

Once they get a divorce, he will have the right to stand openly by her side.

But he still hasn't found a breakthrough.

The brother and sister appeared polite and distant, but the sister never showed any intention of leaving.

(Here comes a picture of the two of them, it's Shen Yan and Jiang Li!)
