After dinner, Grandpa went to his study to read.

Grandma absolutely adored the girl who was visiting for the first time, and the two of them actually had a lot in common, so the three of them sat on the sofa and chatted.

Lu Jinyu went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

He was quite diligent; during his winter and summer vacations here, he basically did all the cooking and other chores.

Grandpa and Grandma are happy to have some free time.

"Xiaoyu is a hardworking child. She can cook, do housework, and everything else. She is also very filial."

Grandma smiled and praised her eldest grandson to Nangong You.

Nangong You was sitting in a spot where she could see the kitchen.

She glanced at the boy in the kitchen, wearing an apron and washing dishes, a faint smile in her beautiful eyes:

"And he's handsome too!"

As she spoke, her gaze passed over her grandmother and landed on the slender, upright figure in the distance, a slight smile curving her lips.

The three chatted for a while, then Grandma received a phone call and said somewhat apologetically:

"We're one short for the game, let me join in."

"It's alright, Grandma, you go ahead," Nangong You said with a smile.

"Grandma, don't stay out too late. You need to be back to rest before 10 o'clock," Wen Keke reminded her.

Grandma nodded repeatedly in agreement.

After washing the dishes, Lu Jinyu went to close the chicken coop.

The chickens, ducks, and geese will all go back to their nests at night; all you need to do is close the door.

Weasels still occasionally appear in rural areas, and if you don't close the door, you might get bitten to death.

Wen Keke and Nangong You sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, enjoying the cool air.

It was already dark outside, with frogs croaking and insects chirping. A bright full moon hung in the night sky, along with countless stars.

There were two rocking chairs in the courtyard, and Nangong You leaned against one, looking quite content.

"I feel that the nights in the countryside are much brighter than in the city," Nangong You said.

She seemed to have never seen a night sky like this before.

"It's probably just an illusion," Wen Ke said, leaning back in another rocking chair. "They're not far apart, how could there be a difference?"

Nangong You didn't answer; she just felt it was really different, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was different.

"It's eight o'clock, let's get ready to go back," Wen Keke said.

"Where's Little Fish?" Nangong You asked casually.

"He's not going back. He said he'll stay here for the night, go back tomorrow, and then go to school to register the day after tomorrow."

Lu Jinyu had just finished washing the fruit and came out; it was a modified Sunshine Rose that her grandfather had planted in the yard.

August is the season when fruits ripen, and they are large and plump.

"Have some fruit before you go back."

Lu Jinyu placed the fruit platter on the coffee table between the two rocking chairs and said softly.

Nangong You picked a Sunshine Rose berry, put it in her mouth, stretched, and her graceful figure was instantly revealed.

Lu Jinyu quickly looked away.

—It's not his fault, it's just that the senior's figure is too amazing, slim waist, long legs, and big...

"The environment here is so nice!"

While chewing on a grape, Nangong You said, "I've never been to a place like this before."

Wen Keke immediately sensed that something was off about the tone; it seemed like the person didn't want to go back.

She squinted and glanced at Nangong You.

Having known each other for so long, she knew that Nangong You never stayed out overnight.

They insist on going home no matter what.

"It must be my imagination," Wen Keke thought.

"Let's go back tomorrow!" Nangong You said.

Wen Keke: "???"

No...it's not an illusion?

She was stunned for several seconds.

"Don't you have a bed to sleep in?" Nangong You blinked her beautiful eyes at Wen Keke.

"Yes, there are three rooms on the second floor," Lu Jinyu said.

Wen Keke: "???"

She first looked at Nangong You lying there with a puzzled expression, and then the pretty girl looked up at the bright moon.

She glanced curiously at Lu Jinyu, who was standing there, and the handsome young man immediately lowered his head, longing for his hometown.

"What, you're not welcoming me?"

Nangong You looked at Wen Keke with an unfriendly tone.

"Welcome," Lu Jinyu said softly.

As the host, how could he refuse his guests' requests?

Wen Keke: "???"

No, did I ask you?

No, is that right?

Why did she feel that there was something really off about these two people?

Did something happen between the two of them in the few hours she was upstairs dealing with student council matters?

Did she miss watching an episode?

"Little Fish, help me rank up."

Nangong You ignored Wen Keke and took out her phone while talking. Lu Jinyu had already heard Timi's voice.

"How much do you charge for playing games for others?" Nangong You suddenly asked with a smile.

Lu Jinyu looked down at that fair, oval face with a faint smile and natural charm.

"It depends on the player's rank. Some are 10 or 20 yuan, while others are 50 or 60 yuan for higher ranks."

"Oh, then I'll give you a hundred for one," Nangong You said.

"I told you I wouldn't charge you," Lu Jinyu said softly, turning her head away.

Wen Keke: "???"

No, when did you two say that?

She felt that it wasn't just a matter of missing one episode; with this amount of information, it was at least two episodes less.

"When did you two say that?" Wen Keke suddenly stood up, looking left at Lu Jinyu and right at Nangong You.

Lu Jinyu: "Last night—"

Nangong You: "Good morning—"

The two spoke in unison.

Nangong You's fingertips trembled slightly, and Lu Jinyu's eyelids twitched wildly.

Wen Keke: "???"

She looked at Lu Jinyu on the left and Nangong You on the right. She couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, but something just felt off.

"Senior Nangong, are you still asleep? Wasn't the drinking we did last night what we talked about?"

Lu Jinyu said something expressionlessly, but her heart was actually pounding.

What's with that feeling of being caught and feeling guilty?

How could he dare let Wen Keke know that the two of them woke up embracing each other in the morning?

Nangong You also snapped out of her daze and replied expressionlessly, "Oh right, it was last night. I got it wrong!"

She was completely unprepared for the brother and sister, and didn't even notice this most serious problem.

If her best friend found out that she slept with someone else's younger brother, what would happen?

Although Wen Keke was a little confused, she didn't think much of it.

The main reason was that both of their expressions and tones were too normal, so she assumed that Nangong You was just drunk and had misremembered.

Theoretically speaking, the two shouldn't have any interaction, since last night was their first meeting.

Lu Jinyu sat on a bench in the pavilion on the other side of the courtyard, opened the game, and was far away from Nangong You and Wen Keke.

"You don't play games, why don't you switch places with Xiaoyuer?" Nangong You reached out and poked Wen Keke.

Wen Keke: "???"

No, is that right?

"Being closer makes communication easier," Nangong You said.

"Can't we communicate via voice chat?"

"Don't force me to slap you when I'm happiest!"

The two have been friends for many years and are used to joking around, including making risqué jokes.

No one would care about such words.

"Can't you learn from Xiaoyuer? Look how she treats her guests!" Nangong You complained again.

"Should I put it in a shrine and worship it?"

Wen Keke said something in an annoyed tone, but still obediently stood up, though she didn't go over to switch with Lu Jinyu.

"I'm going upstairs first. You guys play for a while and then come up to sleep. We'll go back tomorrow morning."

After saying that, she turned and went upstairs.

"Get out!"

Seeing that Lu Jinyu was still sitting there, Nangong You quickly waved to her, her voice immediately softening:

"Little Fish, come here quickly!"
