It wasn't an apple that hit Newton.

After careful consideration, he gave Louise a wink—exposing himself to the obedient Louise was a choice made out of necessity rather than the other two, at least he still had a chance to explain.

Louise: !

Louise initially felt that the somewhat robust red-haired woman in front of her looked very familiar, and she had a vague connection with her. However, due to Phillips's extremely superb makeup skills as a professional cross-dresser, she hesitated to make a conclusion.

But after Li Cheng gave her a wink, the clever girl not only realized that the somewhat burly older sister in front of her was actually her brother in disguise, but also quickly understood the meaning behind his wink—that he wanted her to cover for him.

Although I don't know why my brother did this, there must be a deeper meaning behind it!

Louise then flashed a bright smile and leaped towards her brother (or perhaps she should be called sister?) who was sitting on the sofa.

Li Cheng smiled in response, catching the little girl who threw herself at him. As he clearly felt the soft body that was slightly warmer than that of an adult male, and the pair of small breasts that were gradually developing on her chest, he also reached out and gently hugged Louise's back, pressing their bodies together tightly.

"Um......"

Louise let out a comfortable groan and squinted her eyes contentedly—Li Cheng's broad embrace gave her a unique sense of security, making her want to stay inside forever. In comparison, her father's embrace was also reassuring enough, but it didn't give her the same feeling of wanting to stay in her brother's arms.

Seeing that Louise seemed so engrossed in the hug that she forgot something important, Li Cheng gently pinched her waist, which was completely free of any excess fat, with his right hand.

"Hmm~"

It seemed the pinch was too light; instead of serving as a reminder, it felt like a massage, making Louise let out a soft, comfortable moan. She buried her head further into Li Cheng's soft chest, which was padded with a pad, becoming even more immersed in enjoying her brother's comfortable embrace.

???

Li Cheng's forehead twitched. He had been so gentle because he was worried about hurting the little girl's delicate skin, but it hadn't served its purpose at all. So this time he didn't hold back anymore, increasing the pressure with his right hand and pinching Louise's waist.

This reminder finally worked; Louise remembered her mission, quickly looked up, and called out to her drastically different brother:

"elder sister!"

姐姐？！

Sophia and Hudson, who had been pondering where they had seen Li Cheng before, now looked on with surprise.

Although Louise spoke English, thankfully, Sophia and Mrs. Hudson could understand her; otherwise, it would have been pointless for her to shout.

"Sister? I see."

Sophia glanced at Li Cheng and Louise for a moment, then exclaimed as if suddenly realizing something, "No wonder she looked familiar to me, like I'd seen her somewhere before. It turns out I've met Miss Louise before."

Now that it was confirmed that Li Cheng wasn't some outsider who had snuck in, his silence was at most a matter of attitude. Sophia and her friend didn't pursue the matter further, and the two left the corner of the living room. The onlookers who had cast curious glances earlier also turned their attention away and went about their own business.

Li Cheng breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the crisis is not completely over, as it seems that Mrs. Hudson, who was accompanying them, has not left.

Although she had established a good relationship with the Anderson family, she didn't know much about their family details. Therefore, even though she hadn't heard that Louise had an older sister, she didn't rashly question Li Cheng's identity—after all, the two did look quite similar.

Moreover, Louise went up and hugged her so affectionately in front of so many people. What else could they be but sisters?

“Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Anne Hudson, you can just call me Hudson.”

Mrs. Hudson struck up a conversation with Li Cheng very politely, trying to build a good relationship with the new Anderson family member, her wolfish ambitions were obvious: "Louise's sister, may I ask your name?"

"..."

Li Cheng gave an awkward but polite smile, neither shaking his head nor nodding.

Seeing this, Hudson paused for two seconds, wondering if she had done something wrong, but then she glanced at Louise and suddenly realized, switching back to English to repeat herself: "Hello, nice to meet you, my name is Anne Hudson..."

Li Cheng did not answer.

Hudson paused for two seconds, then repeated herself in Dutch: "Hello, nice to meet you, my name is Anne Hudson..."

You can't judge a book by its cover! Who would have thought this somewhat dim-witted, older single woman was fluent in three languages...

Li Cheng's eyelids twitched, but he still didn't answer.

Hudson then switched again... well, this time she didn't change the language; three languages ​​seemed to be her limit.

Louise, however, realized Li Cheng's awkward situation of not being able to speak, and she apologized, "I'm sorry, Aunt Hudson, my sister doesn't like to talk, especially to strangers."

"Is that so?"

Hudson felt a little better and stopped insisting on communicating. Instead, she gave Louise a kind smile and said, "Little Louise, why don't you chat with your sister for a bit? I'll go back to my previous spot and won't disturb you anymore."

"Thank you, Aunt Hudson."

Seeing that even Mrs. Hudson had been fooled and successfully resolved his predicament, Li Cheng finally felt relieved. Fortunately, he had the clever and obedient Louise; otherwise, he probably wouldn't have been able to get by on his own, and he might have ended up in front of that effeminate woman, being laughed at and mocked by her.

However, just as Li Cheng was comfortably enjoying that relaxed feeling, Louise in his arms suddenly raised her head, looked at the "brother" in front of her, and said:

"Brother, can you answer a question for Louise?"

"Of course, Louise, I will answer whatever you ask."

Li Cheng was extremely grateful to his younger sister for her winery, and naturally, he told her everything he knew.

Unfortunately, he couldn't speak directly, so he leaned down and whispered in Louise's ear, his breath hot against her delicate earlobe. Those two sentences seemed to steam the little girl's earlobes, turning them a deep pink.

The tingling, itchy sensation, unlike anything she had ever experienced before, made Louise shyly twist her neck, almost wanting to get her ear away from Li Cheng's mouth.

However, the question she was about to ask seemed very important. She tried to suppress the blush on her cheeks, enduring the sensation, and after listening, looked up at her brother, who was both unfamiliar and familiar, and asked:

"Brother, why are you moving in such a hurry?"

Chapter 304 The Profound Meaning of Touching Buttocks

Upon hearing Louise's question, Li Cheng's relaxed smile instantly froze.

As the saying goes, hesitation leads to defeat.

When he unexpectedly discovered that Louise lived right across the street, he quickly and decisively moved out of his original courtyard.

He wasn't sure how Louise had found out; there were so many possible sources. Perhaps the move wasn't discreet enough and she'd seen him by chance, or maybe it was Mrs. Hudson's doing...

Unfortunately, girls of Louise's age are the most prone to overthinking and the most sensitive, and can be saddened for an entire day by the smallest things in life.

As for someone who was happy to meet their crush the day before, but then saw him running away as if he were a plague carrier the next day, you can imagine how frustrated and disappointed they must have felt.

Louise's ability to hold back her tears shows she has a strong will.

As for how to explain...

If he moved half a month later, he could excuse it as work-related reasons, but moving the next day was far too obvious. Even if the purpose wasn't to deliberately avoid Louise, it sounded like a lie. Moreover, Li Cheng's purpose really was to avoid Louise.

Therefore, Li Cheng did not say it was for work purposes. Louise was a well-behaved child, not a stupid one.

So, I have a headache...

Li Cheng tightened his grip on the petite body in his arms, which was trembling slightly with nervousness, while his head throbbed with pain... He really couldn't think of a suitable answer.

After much thought, Li Cheng realized he had no choice but to resort to some dirty, adult-like methods.

He gritted his teeth, slipped the hem of his right hand under Louise's clothes, and then grabbed at something.

Li Cheng reached for Louise's gradually perking buttocks. His hand only slipped inside her skirt to avoid being noticed by others, without any further direct skin contact. But even through the fabric, he could feel the amazing elasticity—although smaller than a mature woman, Louise still had plenty of room to grow in that area.

That's really awful! Not only did he dress up as a woman to attend an all-female salon, but he also hid in the corner of the living room and secretly touched a girl's butt! And it was even his own sister!

? !

Because she hadn't received a response for a long time, Louise's eyes were already brimming with tears, and it looked like the tears were about to spill out.

Suddenly, I felt a warm hand slip inside my skirt from my waist and grope my bottom without restraint, which startled me slightly.

This should be considered as her being molested, but for some reason Louise couldn't muster the will to resist. She only felt an amazing heat coming from the place where she was being touched, which made her whole body feel hot and her face was as red as if she had a fever.

Li Cheng's groping came to an end. He suppressed his reluctance and stopped, whispering in his ear, "Did you hate it?"

Louise blushed and couldn't speak.

How could she answer this question so casually? She now knew that a girl's body shouldn't be touched by just anyone. Although her brother had seen her naked once before, that was a separate matter, and neither of them remembered it.

Li Cheng then asked, "Is there a feeling that you don't mind me touching you, or even a little bit like me touching you?"

Louise's face flushed crimson when her deepest thoughts, the ones she couldn't admit and couldn't tell anyone, were exposed. She quickly denied it, saying, "No, no..."

"No need to rush to deny it."

Li Cheng then asked, "I have another question, Louise, do you like me? I mean, the kind of liking that comes from siblings."

Louise likes her brother.

Louise raised her head and said firmly.

If the question were about romantic love, she might not know how to answer; but since the question is about the kind of love between siblings, she can answer naturally.

"That's the problem."

Seeing that the groundwork had finally been laid, Li Cheng smiled slightly and changed the subject, saying, "So, Louise, do you think that the affection between siblings also includes touching butts?"

"what?"

Louise didn't react immediately and said blankly.

"Have you forgotten? We're siblings!" Li Cheng said, heartbroken. "How can siblings feel comfortable having each other touch their butts?"

"Eh?"

Louise stared blankly.

"That's the problem," Li Cheng said. "Your affection is more like that of a sibling, but you..."

"After all, girls your age can easily confuse different feelings. For example, they might accidentally mistake familial love for romantic love, or their feelings for their brother for their feelings for him as a man..."

"To give a common example, many girls say things like 'I want to marry my dad when I grow up' or 'I want to marry my brother when I grow up' when they are young."

"But as they grow older, they will gradually realize the errors in their previous understanding and gradually forget their childish remarks..."

"But, but..."

Louise was a little confused. Feeling something was amiss, she wanted to explain, but couldn't find the right words: "I, I..."

"It's not your fault."

Li Cheng gave a gentle smile, placed his index finger on Louise's lips, and continued righteously, "Louise is still young and lacks the ability to discern. But since I am your brother, I must shoulder the responsibility of protecting Louise and prevent her from mistaking familial affection for other feelings."

He paused, then said in a somber tone, "The reason I haven't contacted Louise for so long is because I noticed this trend and hoped that by distancing myself for a while, you could grow and realize your mistakes..."

Louise suddenly seemed to grasp something and asked in return, "So, brother moved house actually for Louise's own good?"

"correct."

Li Cheng gave a gratified affirmative reply: "Louise is really smart."

Louise fell silent, and she began to seriously consider the principles her brother had taught her earlier—that siblings shouldn't do that, but when her brother touched her buttocks, she didn't feel anything in her heart.
