Why are you always thinking about dating me?

"So I'm not going, and you're not allowed to go either. If you go and try to pick up girls again, I'll break your legs."

Xu Qinghuan smiled and rubbed his face, then pinched his ear and spun it around hard.

"Oh." Lin An nodded, but he was not interested and did not want to talk to her too much. He did not know why, maybe he felt a little tired. Xu Qinghuan grabbed his collar with one hand.

"So, you still need an explanation for why you came home at five in the morning."

Xu Qinghuan's eyes seemed to flash with a sharp, piercing light this time.

"They've gone to bed."

Then today Lin An was hit a second time, this time on the left side of his face, the sound of the slap was crisp and loud.

P.S.: One update per week.

Chapter Seven: Bad Kids

Every cause has an effect; every outcome in the world has its own logic.

For example, when Lin An was slapped in the face, he had three possible outcomes in mind when he said "we slept together". There was a 20% chance that his sister would cry, another 20% chance that his sister would pretend nothing was wrong and praise him sarcastically, and the last 60% chance was that he would slap himself, or slap himself twice.

It depends on what he says next.

Xu Qinghuan's hands trembled slightly, because slapping his face would hurt her own hands too. She looked at her younger brother, whose cheeks were red, but she gritted her teeth and trembled, "Not bad, you've grown quite capable."

A mocking sneer played on her lips.

"I was drunk, she seduced me, and then we ended up in bed without really understanding what was going on," Lin An had to explain.

That's the truth. If Su Yuejin hadn't deliberately splashed water on him later, Lin An felt he could have suppressed his desires and not been so greedy.

Xu Qinghuan looked at her seemingly obedient younger brother in front of her. After a couple of seconds, her cold, sarcastic smile melted away. As an older sister, she had to be tolerant of her younger brother.

"Did you use a condom?" she asked.

“She said it was a safe period, so there was nothing…” Lin An replied weakly.

This answer enraged Xu Qinghuan once again, resulting in Lin An receiving another slap across the face. Xu Qinghuan then pointed at his nose, her large chest heaving with each breath, perhaps due to her anger. "Do you know that some of the women there aren't exactly clean?! Are you trying to kill me?! Huh? All you know is the thrill of ejaculation, huh???"

Lin An didn't know whether he should continue talking. If he continued, he might get beaten up again, but not talking seemed to be very troublesome. So after thinking for about two seconds, he decided to say, "No... that girl was a virgin."

Xu Qinghuan froze, her angry expression gone. She gritted her teeth, then raised her hand, which had been pointing at his nose, once again, bringing it close to his cheek.

Lin An did not dodge.

But the expected slap didn't land. Xu Qinghuan's expression suddenly looked slightly tired. "Is this my first time?"

"It's the first time," Lin An nodded.

"Tell your sister what exactly happened." Xu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief, sat down by Lin An's bed, then tugged at his sleeve, making him sit beside her, and gently hugged his shoulders.

“Speak clearly, and whisper it in your sister’s ear.”

Xu Qinghuan's body was very flexible, but she was wearing a backless sweater, so Lin An didn't dare to hug her. He organized his thoughts and slowly said, "Yesterday I went to the bar to look for you, but I couldn't find you. Then I met an eighteen-year-old girl."

"You could tell at first glance that she was in a bad mood, probably because she was bored. I was just sitting there, and she came over and had a few drinks with me and we played dice for a while."

"Then we chatted for a while, drank for a while, and then she invited me to drink. I didn't drink much, but she got drunk. I was going to take her home, but she said she wanted to eat hot pot, so I took her there. She didn't eat much either. We went downstairs and sat on a bench for more than half an hour, chatting for a long time. Then she asked me to take her home."

"I didn't want to take her home, but she was so beautiful and had drunk so much, I was worried something might happen, so I took her home anyway. Then she said she wanted some water, and ended up spilling it all over herself, and then..."

"I didn't know it was her first time. If I had known, I wouldn't have slept with her. But she didn't tell me. She just stubbornly wanted to prove to me that she wasn't the kind of promiscuous girl I thought she was."

"She's just experiencing the halo effect."

"And then... that was it. I didn't add her on WeChat. I quickly transferred the money she used to buy me drinks to her and then ran away."

That's about it.

Of course, that's the truth, but Lin An's explanation doesn't make much sense. It's not very logical that such simple things would make the girl willingly give herself away.

...Of course, this was because Lin An acted on a whim and used a little trick.

But the world is full of wonders. What if that girl was planning to be promiscuous? And then she happened to meet him? It all seems reasonable. Xu Qinghuan hugged her younger brother and suddenly felt that he was not clean.

"I see." She murmured softly, leaning close to Lin An's ear, "Then it's not your fault, little brother. I... forgive you."

Lin An breathed a sigh of relief, then added, "Oh, there's one more thing."

"What?" Xu Qinghuan looked up.

"That girl, you should know her, she's in your class, her name is... Su Yuejin."

Xu Qinghuan was taken aback.

"Su Yuejin?!"

"Yes, Su Yuejin."

Therefore, the world is so big that anything is possible.

"You took Su Yuejin's virginity??"

"Yes."

"Damn it." Xu Qinghuan muttered. Of course she knew Su Yuejin, but they weren't very close. Su Yuejin was her classmate, and they had some interaction, but not much, because they were from different worlds.

Su Yuejin is a second-generation rich kid.

He really is a second-generation rich kid.

"So she didn't contact you today?!" Xu Qinghuan continued to ask.

"She came to me, wanting me to take responsibility. I refused, and then she slapped me." Lin An shook his head helplessly.

"Why, after taking someone's virginity, are you not going to take responsibility?" Xu Qinghuan asked calmly.

"She doesn't really love me. She only loves the silly, infatuated feeling when she's drunk. She can be herself and have someone take care of her. If it were during the day, why would she like me?"

"So, since there's no point in trying, why bother? Besides, sister, I haven't broken up with my girlfriend yet."

"Isn't it almost here?"

"That's true." Lin An nodded. "But I don't want to date anymore, sister. It's too tiring."

"Where are you tired?"

"It's exhausting to act like someone you don't like, and it's not fun at all. Sister, if you keep pressuring me, I'm not going to date anymore," Lin An said earnestly.

Xu Qing hugged his shoulders and closed her eyes.

"Okay, I won't force you."

Lin An nodded slightly, and the room became quiet. After about ten seconds, a girl's voice suddenly came through Lin An's earpiece, "Hmm? Is she still here?"

Lin An was taken aback, and Xu Qing was also taken aback.

"I think I heard something amazing, An'an." Cha Cha's voice had a teasing tone.

Lin An stood up blankly, walked to the computer, and then remembered that his voice call with Cha Cha hadn't ended. Clearly, Cha Cha had heard their conversation.

"This is a private matter, Cha Cha. Let's pretend it never happened, okay?"

"I'd like to say yes, but do you remember, An'an, the distance between us is actually only one hundred kilometers?"

"remember."

"Then I think there's only one girl named Su Yuejin who's also very pretty within a hundred kilometers, right? Hahaha, Su Yuejin, this girl has finally met her match."

Cha Cha across from them seemed to be laughing especially happily.

Lin An was taken aback and frowned slightly. "You know Su Yuejin?"

"She's the most aloof person in our circle. She's always ignoring everyone at gatherings and doesn't really fit in with the group. She always has this sour look on her face, and it's hard to tell who she's even talking to. That guy, she actually managed to get herself into this mess. Tsk tsk tsk."

Lin An's voice softened slightly, "Cha Cha, can this be kept a secret?"

"It can be kept a secret, but An'an, you need to find an opportunity to let me see you."

"what?"

"After all, I was still curious, An'an. He seemed like a gentle, sensible, game-playing, and flirtatious older brother to me, but I didn't expect him to be such a bad guy."

"I am not."

"So, I'm really curious. How about we meet up next week?"

"Keep this a secret. You can't tell anyone about this."

"Okay, then it's settled." Cha Cha's voice was especially relaxed and cheerful. Her reaction to this matter seemed quite normal, probably because she was quite receptive. However, Lin An never expected that such a coincidence could actually happen in the world.

What he didn't know was that this incident would become the beginning of everything that followed.

"Well then, I'll go to sleep now, goodnight?" Cha Cha said to him.

"OK, good night."

Lin An ended the voice call, and Xu Qinghuan tugged at his sleeve, "Who is this woman?"

"She selected me on a gaming companion app, supposedly for the function of finding nearby gaming pros. We chatted for about a month. I guess I'm a kid who grew up in a sweet environment, but for some reason, I started to find it a bit troublesome."

Lin An was slightly troubled. He hated things happening unexpectedly. He liked everything to go according to his plans and through his actions. But he had forgotten to mute his microphone, which had caused potential trouble.

"Okay, I'll go cook some noodles. You wait here patiently, okay?"

"Ah."

Lin An watched as Xu Qinghuan turned around, her back revealing a beautiful, smooth, white figure with particularly striking shoulder blades. He suddenly asked, "Sister, why are you suddenly wearing this?"

"I was thinking that since he didn't listen to his brother last night, I should coax him a little, but it seems that my brother gave me an even bigger surprise, tsk." Xu Qinghuan muttered to herself, and then walked out the door.

A dozen minutes later, Xu Qinghuan came in with a bowl of noodles. Lin An and she finished eating the noodles in the room. Lin An glanced at the sky outside the window; it was completely dark.

Xu Qinghuan felt uncomfortable because the hickey on her younger brother's neck was very noticeable.

After finishing his noodles, Lin An went to wash the dishes, but on his way to the kitchen, he was thinking about all sorts of random things.

He could have easily told her that the hickey on his neck was from when he coaxed his girlfriend, that he didn't go home last night because he went to see her, drank too much, and fell asleep on the street, and that Su Yuejin would most likely never contact him again. That would have been a flawless lie, and his sister wouldn't have bothered to investigate further.

However, he chose to accept the outcome, not because he was an honest and good younger brother.

So, sister, are you jealous?

Are you in a hurry?

Are you scared?
