Having found a demon, I've decided to raise her.

Om-!

My phone started vibrating on its own.

It was Chen Ming calling. My sister's face lit up with a smile, like a rainbow. Her expression was somewhat indifferent, but she smiled foolishly.

She's a hopeless brother-complex person; she swoons whenever she sees her younger brother.

But she had to maintain a facade of composure. She coughed twice, answered the phone, and said—

"Hello? Why are you calling all of a sudden today?"

"Can't I? I just suddenly missed you."

"..."

Chen Ming's words stunned his sister. She clutched her chest as if she had been struck by an arrow. This guy... why did he suddenly hit her so directly?

Something just doesn't feel right.

But my sister couldn't think about these things anymore; her heart was filled with sweetness, and she couldn't help but lie back on the bed and twist a little.

His tone of voice remained unchanged as he said—

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly being so sweet-talking? Is there something you want?"

"...Why does that sound like it's being said to a gigolo?"

Chen Ming's lips twitched. Although he was indeed a bit of a gigolo in front of his sister, having grown up relying on her since childhood... or rather, passively relying on her, since it was always his sister who came up to him for help.

If you don't want her help, she'll act like she's been abandoned and look incredibly wronged.

My sister-obsessed nature is definitely my sister's fault.

Hmm? Thinking about it that way...

Did the older sister succeed? Did she raise him to be a child who likes his older sister...?

Chapter 189 The older sister wants to marry the younger brother

Sweet words seem to be a bad word.

When someone is showering you with sweet words, they might be plotting something.

But her sister wasn't worried at all about whether Chen Ming had any ulterior motives; she was happy all day because of his words, and he was her support.

She would be even happier if there were some ulterior motive, since what did she have anyway?

Money? Or... health...?

Which one does he want? Or... he could have them all... just kidding.

The older sister lay on the bed, her figure graceful, her shapely legs crossed, her slender hands holding her pillow, listening to his voice.

He smiled indulgently and said—

"Is something wrong? Did you suddenly miss your sister?"

"...Sis, I think you've misunderstood me a bit."

"How to say?"

"Do you only talk to me when I need something?"

Chen Ming felt increasingly uncomfortable, wondering why he was becoming more and more of a jerk, probably because he hadn't completely broken away from his sister and become independent.

Whenever something happens, his sister is always the first to come and help, and she is always the first person he thinks of.

This feeling of never being able to grow up...

It seems pretty good.

Being cared for is never a bad thing. Being cared for by a beautiful older sister and cherishing her is even more worthy of gratitude to God for giving him such a wonderful older sister to take care of him.

Whether or not there were ulterior motives from the beginning... well, this can also be considered an expression of affection.

My sister smiled and said—

"Whether you need something from me or not, I'm just happy to hear from you. I don't care about anything else. If you need anything, I'll help you with it first."

"...It's not good that you're like this."

Chen Ming felt slightly helpless.

My sister said strangely—

"What's wrong with it?"

"You spoil me like this, you like me so much, with this kind of attitude, how can I not like you?"

"Hey?"

The older sister blinked. Was she saying she liked the older sister? Why use such complicated language?

She smiled and said—

"Is liking your older sister something you can't say? Why go through all this trouble? It's like you're really unwilling."

"Alright then..."

Chen Ming took a deep breath, his eyes hardening, and said—

"Sister...no, Chen Xiao, I like you."

"..."

The sister's composed smile froze on her face, and her heart skipped a beat as she heard his solemn tone.

what?

What did he say?

What do you mean?

Chen Xiao's mind suddenly went blank. As smart as she was, she could tell that Chen Ming's tone was different from usual, and that he had even changed his address from "sister" to "Chen Xiao".

What does this mean...?

Chen Xiao's brain always gets a little overloaded when she's with him. She thinks about a lot of things in an instant, and then she lies down on the pillow.

As if her head were radiating heat, her cheeks flushed red, and she said—

"Your mouth is so sweet today, what's wrong with you?"

"...Sis, are you coming home for Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Back."

Of course my sister is going back, that's why she's working here. She might even take some things back with her, but she'll go back no matter what.

This holiday lasts for many days, and of course I'll spend this long time with my younger brother... oh no, I mean with my parents and family.

The older sister had her own little scheme in mind, which was more about filial piety.

Chen Ming pondered for a moment, then said—

"I want to take them back."

"...Won't you scare Mom and Dad?"

"Mom has already come."

"Oh? She came by? What did she say?"

Chen Xiao felt a chill run down his spine whenever he thought of his mother. He felt completely under her thumb, and it was hard to imagine that she wouldn't cause trouble when her son was involved in such interesting things.

Chen Ming said—

She said she hoped I would take everyone back to get to know the people.

"...I see."

My sister thinks it's not surprising that someone as eccentric as our mother is easy to accept, although it's still a bit unexpected.

Chen Ming continued—

"So the current arrangement is this: we'll fly over to your place to pick you up, and you'll be home very soon."

"Hmm, your women are really something."

My sister smiled and said—

"Okay, then you can come."

"Also, we might be able to build a portal over there so we can come here to eat in the future."

Chen Ming was very happy, even though he could see his sister every moment, and it sounded like he was a little kid clinging to his sister.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said—

"This... might be difficult to handle..."

"how?"

"The security level here is quite high, and you can't just come and go as you please, so I'll pass."

"I see..."

Chen Ming was slightly disappointed.

The older sister noticed and smiled, saying—

"We can open a door outside the research center so it will be convenient for me to go there. Although we probably can't meet every day, we can still go out a few times a week."

"Okay, let's do it that way."

Chen Ming thought the dog's teleportation portal was really convenient, as it could bring people who were far apart closer together, just like in the cartoons he watched when he was a child.

Who wouldn't want a magic door?

Of course, he knew that the Anywhere Door was much more convenient than the door that could only be opened by the dog.

He and his sister talked and talked, but they still couldn't get to the most important thing...

Chen Ming licked his lips and said—

"Sister, can I ask you a question?"
