Xia Qingyue sat gracefully in the passenger seat, then turned to look at Bai Ye, her eyes seeming to say:

"Hey little brother, aren't you going to come over here and help your sister fasten her seatbelt?"

Bai Ye inwardly groaned, thinking that it was just a small seatbelt, yet he had to trouble himself to do it.

This lady is really hard to please!

Despite his inner complaints, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest and obediently moved closer to Xia Qingyue.

Just as Bai Ye leaned forward, about to reach for the seatbelt, suddenly, a pair of jade-like arms wrapped around his neck like serpents.

Caught off guard, Bai Ye instantly lost his balance and fell forward.

At this moment, because his body was in a semi-tilted position, his cheeks were buried directly in a soft place.

In an instant, a faint fragrance wafted over, making Bai Ye's mind wander.

Realizing the situation was getting out of hand, Bai Ye hurriedly tried to get up, hoping to escape this awkward predicament.

However, no matter how hard he tried, Xia Qingyue's arms remained tightly wrapped around him without any sign of loosening.

Instead, a playful smile appeared on her lips as she softly said, "Don't move around, let me give you a good hug!"

Bai Ye's face turned red. Although he felt very comfortable, his brain was suddenly overloaded.

He tried to persuade her: "Don't do this, Sister Qingyue, please let go of her hand first!"

Xia Qingyue ignored him and instead said, "Don't move around, you brat, are you trying to take advantage of your older sister?"

Bai Ye was truly exasperated at this moment!

He couldn't help but groan inwardly. He had only wanted to break free from her tight embrace, so how did she come up with the idea that he was taking advantage of her? This was utterly baseless slander!

Moreover, it was blatant and undisguised slander!

However, despite Bai Ye's best efforts, she found that it was all in vain.

Left with no other choice, he had to temporarily quiet down and stop making futile resistance.

Just then, Xia Qingyue, who had been holding him tightly, seemed to realize that he had stopped resisting and thought to herself that her little brother had probably finally given up struggling.

So, she unconsciously relaxed the force surrounding Bai Ye slightly.

What no one expected was that the moment Xia Qingyue loosened her arms, Bai Ye, who had seemed to have given up, suddenly pounced like a ferocious cheetah!

With lightning speed, he suddenly exerted force and instantly broke free from Xia Qingyue's embrace.

This sudden turn of events caught Xia Qingyue completely off guard. By the time she came to her senses, Bai Ye had already returned to his seat.

Looking at Bai Ye, who had a smug look on his face, Xia Qingyue rolled her eyes.

Thinking to himself, "That brat of a brother really knows how to play tricks. He actually used this 'playing hard to get' tactic and fooled me completely."

Oh dear, I really don't know what to say about him. He's so infuriating and funny at the same time, it's impossible to find a way to complain about him!

Bai Ye coughed lightly twice, quickly changing the subject:

"Ahem, um, Sister Qingyue, what do you want to eat tonight? How about we go to the supermarket later and buy some groceries to cook ourselves?"

Xia Qingyue's lips curled slightly upwards, as if she had been prepared, and she rattled off a series of mouthwatering dish names without hesitation:

"I want to eat Buddha Jumps Over the Wall and boiled cabbage in clear broth..." Upon hearing these names, Bai Ye's expression instantly changed, revealing a bitter face.

He inwardly groaned. If he could make such complicated and difficult dishes, it would be a pipe dream. He wasn't a proper chef.

Seeing Bai Ye's embarrassed expression, Xia Qingyue couldn't help but chuckle. Her mood seemed to instantly brighten, and she became exceptionally happy.

"Okay, okay, look how scared you are. Of course I know you can't cook these dishes at all. I was just teasing you."

As she spoke, she reached out and gently patted Bai Ye's head, a hint of doting affection in her eyes: "Don't worry, we'll just make a few simple home-style dishes. I'm not picky."

However, Bai Ye was very dissatisfied with Bai Qingyue's behavior, which was like petting a puppy, and he rolled his eyes.

She raised her hand, trying to move the mischievous little hand above her head.

But every time he reached out, Xia Qingyue would quickly pull her hand back like a nimble rabbit.

When he reluctantly withdrew his hand, Xia Qingyue would reach out again and continue to ruffle his hair.

After repeating this several times, Bai Ye finally gave up struggling, started the car with a look of utter despair, and drove towards the supermarket.

As they walked, Xia Qingyue's captivating eyes never left Bai Ye.

She would gently reach out and rub Bai Ye's shoulder, as if it were an invaluable treasure; then she would tilt her head and carefully examine Bai Ye from head to toe, as if trying to imprint his entire being deeply into her mind.

After a while, Xia Qingyue suddenly spoke up: "Little brother, I think you should consider getting a new hairstyle? I can take you to get a cool perm!"

However, without even thinking, Bai Ye decisively shook her head and refused, saying directly, "Damn it! No!"

Why would Bai Ye want to get her hair permed for no reason?

Taking care of his original hair every day is already a headache for him. If he were to get a perm that requires careful maintenance, wouldn't that just be asking for trouble?

Therefore, he would absolutely not agree to such a thing.

Being an energy-saving person has no other advantages but laziness.

Seeing Bai Ye's firm refusal, Xia Qingyue did not give up easily and continued to persuade him:

"Oh, really not going to get a perm? Trust your older sister's judgment, you'll look super handsome with a new hairstyle!"

But Bai Ye remained unmoved and firmly replied, "I'm not going!"

In truth, Bai Ye was secretly lamenting his predicament, wondering why girls had been inexplicably gathering around him lately.

If getting a more attractive hairstyle leads to even more girls flocking around him, that would be the death of him!
