Hearing a knock on the door, Youxue opened it and saw Xia Yu standing alongside a figure wearing a skirt.
Her heart skipped a beat:
Brother brought another girl home again!
Well, at least this time it was just one.
Let me see which seductive girl managed to win my brother over in just two days of school.
Staring at the figure in the skirt for three seconds, Youxue took a step back and leaned against the door frame.
In disbelief, she said, “Sister Yaoyao?”
“Mm.” An Siyao felt somewhat uneasy. She had thought she was just an ordinary girl, but suddenly she had become her little sister-in-law—what should she do now?
She hoped she hadn’t been too cold towards the girl before, would she be upset?
An Siyao grew a bit fearful.
At this moment, Youxue had already regained her calmness; her previous shock was only because the person who came with her brother was An Siyao.
She thought to herself:
Looks like I misunderstood my brother—he didn’t bring a girl home. Yaoyao must have come to see me and just happened to meet him along the way.
Taking out a spare pair of slippers, Youxue let An Siyao into the house: “Sister Yaoyao, please sit on the sofa for a moment.”
After saying that, Youxue went into the kitchen and poured two glasses of beverage.
After thinking for a bit, she poured an extra one.
Brother, this is as far as I can help you.
With a sigh, Youxue placed the three glasses on a tray and carried it to the living room.
However, the living room was empty.
“???”
Walking around the living room and confirming An Siyao wasn’t there, Youxue was puzzled.
She went to the entrance again and confirmed An Siyao’s shoes were still there.
Placing the drinks on the table, Youxue went to check the bathroom and then sat on the sofa in thought.
Yaoyao isn’t in the living room, she didn’t leave, nor is she in the bathroom—where could she be?
Come to think of it, her brother had also disappeared.
Could it be that…?
That would be a crime, brother!
Youxue hurried upstairs and went to Xia Yu’s bedroom door, pushing it open forcefully.
She saw An Siyao sitting on the sofa by the bed.
An Siyao didn’t seem reluctant at all, watching Xia Yu tidy up the bed. Since Youxue had just started school today, she hadn’t had time to clean for Xia Yu yet.
A girl sitting on one side, a boy tidying the bed, if it hadn’t been for the short time frame, Youxue might have thought this was a post-scene.
“Yaoyao, come out to the living room and play,” Youxue said.
Although at the moment it seemed like her brother hadn’t done anything yet, she still needed to prevent things from happening.
She had heard from Feifei that when boys are alone with girls, they can turn into wild beasts—extremely aggressive, impossible to push away.
An Siyao shook her head: “I’ll stay here.”
Sinking into the sofa, An Siyao felt like she could smell Xia Yu’s scent, but since Xia Yu had only lain on this sofa once, it was probably just her imagination.
Hearing An Siyao’s reply, Youxue first gave Xia Yu, who was still making the bed, an admiring look, impressed that he had managed to trick An Siyao into his bedroom, then began to feel worried.
On one side was her admired Yaoyao, and on the other, her own brother—what should she do?
In any case, she would keep an eye on them first.
“I’m going downstairs to get some drinks,” she said, heading down, picking up the drinks, and going back upstairs.
She thought that Yaoyao had always studied in an all-girls school, and the villa was also filled with female servants, so she had no idea how dangerous boys could be, which was why she had been deceived by her brother into entering his room.
What should she do?
While troubled, she pushed open the door.
With a click, she opened the door, then with another click, she closed it again.
What had she just seen? Her brother holding Yaoyao’s hand?
Her brother finally couldn’t hold back anymore and was going to make a move!
That’s not allowed!
Gathering her courage, Youxue pushed the door open again.
What she saw this time was her brother, who had let go of Yaoyao’s hand, and An Siyao, who had reached out first and held Xia Yu’s hand again.
The situation seemed a bit different from what she had imagined.
Youxue noticed something odd.
Even if An Siyao was naive, she should still know not to casually hold hands with a boy.
Moreover, Yujia and Yumo had mentioned before that when Yaoyao saw boys, she would actively avoid them.
Back at Yaoguang, Yaoyao had completely ignored her brother.
Analyzing calmly and thinking carefully, Youxue came to a conclusion.
Wow, my brother is actually this impressive?
Although she had also imagined that Xia Yu and An Siyao might develop smoothly, in her imagination, the two would face many trials and tribulations, such as “take the money and leave my daughter,” car accidents, amnesia, terminal illness, bankruptcy…
But it was all resolved in just two days?
To confirm her suspicions, Youxue asked An Siyao: “What’s your relationship with my brother?”
An Siyao thought for a while but couldn’t come up with a clear answer, so she looked at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu also didn’t know how to define their relationship. Unable to answer this question, he chose to deal with the person who asked it.
Taking the drinks from Youxue’s hands and placing them aside, Xia Yu pushed the girl out the door, casually handing her over a dozen bills: “Go play by yourself.”
Looking at the closed door in front of her, Youxue stomped her foot angrily and threw the money on the ground before heading downstairs.
Five seconds later, she came back, picked up the money, and went downstairs.
Tomorrow was Saturday, she would go out for afternoon tea with Lingling.
She kicked Xia Yu’s bedroom door once more before quickly running downstairs.
Opening the door, Xia Yu saw an empty corridor.
Knowing it was Youxue’s prank, Xia Yu closed the door.
Turning around, he saw An Siyao following behind him.
The girl was holding his hand.
When Youxue came in earlier, Xia Yu, slightly embarrassed, had let go of An Siyao’s hand, but she had immediately reached out and grabbed it again.
Now, she refused to let go.
Reaching out his hand, Xia Yu wanted to touch that familiar face, but halfway through, he hesitated. At this moment, An Siyao stepped forward two steps herself, pressing her face against Xia Yu’s hand.
She gave Xia Yu a sweet smile.
Xia Yu also smiled, gently stroking the girl’s cheek.
Using his own hand versus using someone else’s hand didn’t differ much in terms of physical sensation, but psychologically, it made a big difference.
Xia Yu’s heart began to race.
He quickly withdrew his hand.
“Aren’t you going to pinch it?” An Siyao was confused. Xia Yu used to like using Xu Youxiang’s hand to pinch her face, even going as far as to rub his face against hers.
“Let’s stop here today.” The current situation was just too good, and Xia Yu was afraid he might do something irreversible.
Their first real meeting had barely lasted an hour.
Holding An Siyao’s hand, Xia Yu asked the question he had brought up earlier: “Why did you decide to wear this dress?”
“Don’t you like it?” An Siyao gripped Xia Yu’s hand a bit tighter, a sign of her nervousness.
This dress had been worn by Xia Yu at Luo Yali’s birthday banquet when he was in An Siyao’s body. At the time, he had chosen it simply because it wasn’t overly revealing.
“I like seeing you in different clothes,” Xia Yu replied.
“Mm.” An Siyao became happy.
“You can ask Xu Youxiang about fashion,” Xia Yu suggested.
Xu Youxiang had a fashion bonus.
Speaking of Xu Youxiang, Xia Yu suddenly remembered something else. The girl had already attended three days of school—why hadn’t she come to confront him yet?
He and An Siyao were in the same school district, while Xu Youxiang was in another. Xia Yu had originally thought Xu Youxiang would sulk for a long time, giving him the chance to collect more voice messages in his collection.
He should go see her tomorrow, and also check if there were any issues with her classes.
“In which class are you?” An Siyao’s question interrupted Xia Yu’s thoughts.
“Class 4, Humanities,” Xia Yu answered.
“Mm.” An Siyao memorized the address.
