Chapter 13 The necklace. After hanging up the phone, Yu Chaoxian's gaze fell on Yu Tang...

Chen Diao looked down at the girl more closely. She had black hair and fair skin. Although she was quite petite and not particularly hot, her face was fair and delicate, and her appearance was rather pretty and endearing. To be honest, her red eyes and the tip of her nose could really evoke a man's protective instincts.

Yu Chaoxian returned to the Yu residence at six o'clock in the morning.

The light was already quite bright at this time, and in the large living room, the red morning sun added another layer of crimson to the white roses in the vase.

Yu Chaoxian didn't notice anything amiss as he passed through the living room, but he realized something was wrong when he went up the stairs.

The lights on both sides of the staircase were still on.

The last few times he came back, it was pitch black. His aunt only cared about Yu Yanting and didn't care whether he could see her when he came back. But now she actually left the lights on.

Ever since Yu Tang fell and chipped her tooth at school, she's been using the excuse of a toothache to skip school, and she doesn't get up until eight o'clock. What high school senior would dare to sleep until eight?

Yu Tang not only dared to think, but she also dared to do. At worst, Yu Yanting would call and scold her, and she could go to school tomorrow.

A scolding was still within her acceptable range.

The main problem is that she's already bothered everyone at school, so she doesn't want to go anymore. If all else fails, she'll just find a tutor to help her at home.

After washing up, Yu Tang came out of her bedroom. Suddenly remembering something, she glanced at the closed door next door, wondering if her nephew had returned. She quietly approached the door and pressed herself against it in a strange posture.

I didn't hear anything.

Little did she know that Yu Chaoxian was right behind her, holding a glass of ice water.

My gaze traveled up her tiptoes, and it was clear she was putting a lot of effort into them; the soles of her feet were almost white, and her ankles were taut in an arc. Tsk, she wasn't even wearing shoes.

With Yu Yanting not around, he didn't bother saying another word to Yu Tang. He didn't even need to think about it; if he asked Yu Tang what she was doing leaning against the door, she would definitely look at him with a blank expression, widening her eyes in surprise, and ask him how he got behind her and when he came back.

It was a completely meaningless and time-wasting conversation. I couldn't be bothered with it.

Yu Chaoxian didn't call out to her. If she wanted to stick to his door so badly, then let her. The man walked around behind Yu Tang, turned around and went straight into Yu Tang's bedroom, which was not closed. He took a long stride and went straight to the balcony. He glanced at the light blue sheets and the doll on the pillow. The blanket was also covering the doll up to its shoulders, as if the doll also needed to be covered with a blanket to sleep.

Sure enough, there were scattered slippers in front of the bed, pink with silly cartoon patterns.

Yu Chaoxian was too lazy to look and went straight to the balcony. The man was too tall; the clothes hanging on the balcony only reached his shoulders. A small, white garment with a bow brushed against his face.

The familiar sweet scent.

Yu Chaoxian's gaze fell upon the bow, and upon noticing the size, he immediately sensed an unsettling atmosphere. The man reached out and pulled open the glass door on the side of the balcony, then turned and entered his room.

Actually, this bedroom originally belonged to Yu Tang, but it was later divided in two, and one half of it became Yu Tang's place.

It's obvious that Yu Tang took a liking to this place, so Yu Yanting partitioned off half of his room for Yu Tang in order to appease the child.

Yu Tang, who was outside the door, heard nothing. She looked up at the stairwell and saw that the floor lamp was off. It seemed that Yu Chao had returned.

I just don't know what time he got back; it must have been very late. Yesterday, she secretly watched TV until 2 a.m. and didn't hear any noise from next door, which means Yu Chaoxian must have gotten back after 2 a.m.

If you don't get back until 2 AM, you must be catching up on sleep. You'd die from not sleeping!

Yu Chaoxian might still be grumpy in the morning, so it's better not to wake him and let him sleep. That way, she can run wild in the house!

Yu Tang tiptoed downstairs and first wandered around the study. No one was in the study, which meant that Yu Yanting had already gone to the company. She deliberately avoided him, otherwise Yu Yanting would definitely have made her go to school.

Yu Tang brought breakfast to the living room, turned on the TV, and saw a female news anchor speaking clearly and loudly: "The withdrawal of the Americans from Lizhou has left behind weapons that have become a paradise for smuggling weapons..." She changed the channel to watch an idol drama, and it took her more than an hour to eat breakfast. She only took a few bites of her sandwich before forgetting to eat and focusing on the plot.

Unfortunately, the romance between the male and female leads was too dramatic and touching. They finally cleared up their misunderstandings and got together, but then the male lead lost his memory and the female lead went blind in a car accident.

Yu Tang cried until her eyes were red and swollen, completely losing her appetite. The relationship between the male and female leads was so tragic; the lovers were torturing each other. I really don't know how they can stay together in the future.

In short, Yu Tang is much more meticulous in analyzing plots than in solving math problems. Yu Tang can come up with multiple endings for a plot, but she can't solve a single math problem. It's not that she can't solve it, but the answer to the old lady's speed of 8 kilometers per minute seems problematic from any angle.

An hour later, Yu Tang still hadn't finished her breakfast when the Filipino maid came over to remind her, placing the freshly warmed strawberry milk aside: "Master doesn't allow you to watch TV while eating."

Yu Tang nodded, deciding not to eat so she could watch TV. No one in the house could control her now.

The Filipino maid knew Yu Tang's temper, sighed, shook her head, and went out to buy ingredients for lunch. She thought that if Yu Tang didn't want to eat breakfast, she would eat more at noon.

Yu Tang got a little tired of sitting and watching TV, so she simply grabbed a cushion and lay down to watch. When she got to the exciting parts, she even rolled over a few times, kicking her white toes in the air a couple of times, showing just how excited she was.

Yu Tang, engrossed in the TV series, was completely unaware of the time passing until she heard footsteps coming down the stairs. She was momentarily stunned upon hearing the sound, having become so used to being alone that she had completely forgotten about Yu Chaoxian's existence, and wondered who was coming downstairs.

Then Yu Tang saw a face and figure at the stairwell that were even more handsome than the male lead in the TV series.

After taking a shower, Yu Chaoxian casually put on a black bathrobe and was tying the belt loosely as he went downstairs. The collar of the bathrobe was wide open, revealing his muscular physique. Water was still dripping from his half-dry hair, and water droplets slid down his neck and chest muscles.

This time, Yu Tang saw clearly that there was a bullet-shaped ornament hanging from the necklace around Yu Chaoxian's neck.

Upon seeing Yu Chaoxian, Yu Tang became nervous, as if her blood was being suppressed. Her usually quick-witted mouth seemed to be sealed shut, and she couldn't utter a single word at the crucial moment. Even her reactions were slow.

Yu Tang was lying on her side on the sofa, which caused the sofa next to her to sink in. Yu Chaoxian sat down without any hesitation, and because of Yu Chaoxian's sitting down, Yu Tang's legs began to tilt towards the man, like a seesaw.

This feeling of unease is no less than the unease of having your feet exposed while sleeping under the covers at night.

Didn't she say she should keep a meter's distance from her brother when he wasn't around? How come Yu Chaoxian is sitting right next to her like this?

Fortunately, Yu Chaoxian was so focused on making the call that he didn't notice her at all.

Realizing what was happening, Yu Tang tried to quietly sit up and pull her feet back, but the black lighter on the back of the sofa fell onto Yu Tang's lower back as the man sat down.

Yu Tang's pajamas had been rolled up a little by her restless lying position, and the black lighter was now pressed against the girl's bare lower back. The cool touch made her waist sink in for a moment.

After hanging up the phone, Yu Chaoxian's gaze fell on Yu Tang's waist. Yu Tang was stunned for a few seconds. Although she knew he was looking at the lighter, her body temperature still rose rapidly, even warming the cold lighter.

Both of them were a little stunned until the man's sharpened fingertips brushed across Yu Tang's fair and smooth skin.
