"My...my brother?"

Yu Shiyue, who had just woken up, was still a little groggy. She stared blankly at the text message Xia Che had sent. After a while, her consciousness gradually cleared up. She shook her head and shook the grogginess out of her mind.

"I almost forgot... I was hiding my true gender. Xia Che still thinks she's my sister, tsk..."

Yu Shiyue patted her forehead, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.

In some ways...

Xia Che is kind of cute in his silliness.

Even though they've been living together for so long, Yu Shiyue has almost forgotten the fake identity she made up for the emergency.

If I remember correctly, Yu Shiyue was worried that Xia Che, this scoundrel, would be a threat to her after they started sharing the apartment, becoming a potential danger to their shared life. So when he mistook her gender, she just went along with it.

But as they spent more time together, Yu Shiyue gradually realized that she had been judging him by his appearance. Xia Che was different from the other blond-haired guys. At least, Xia Che had never tried to take advantage of her; on the contrary, she had taken advantage of him quite a bit...

Who is actually in danger?

"How can someone be so stupid..."

Yu Shiyue sighed deeply.

After marveling at Xia Che's slowness, the problem facing Yu Shiyue made her head ache again.

I don't know if it was because I stayed up late, or because of Xia Che's invitation.

in the end……

Should we go?

To be honest, even though she had refused Xia Che's question last night, Yu Shiyue still had no solution in mind.

She thought that once she was an adult, she would be free to make the decisions she wanted, but reality slapped her in the face.

Yu Shiyue was terrified of the impending departure and genuinely didn't want to end this life, because this was one of the few places where she could make her own decisions.

"But since the ending can't be changed... at least before I leave, I want to enjoy myself properly, just to put a period to it all."

Yu Shiyue let out a long breath, picked up her phone, and her eyes instantly became firm.

...

The familiar, refreshing morning arrived in Jiang City.

After Yu Shiyue finished washing up, putting on makeup, and choosing a very appropriate mint-colored knit sweater and green plaid skirt, Xia Che was already waiting for her at the entrance of the community when she came downstairs.

"Wow! How did they get here so fast?!"

Yu Shiyue dodged and hid before Xia Che could notice the commotion.

She's dressed as a woman, but she's actually Yu Yue's younger sister and doesn't live here. If she runs into Xia Che, Yu Shi Yue won't be able to explain why she came out of the neighborhood.

"I was originally planning to go out early and wait, pretending I had just arrived... I guess putting on makeup really takes too much time?"

Yu Shiyue clicked her tongue.

I only put on a little makeup, just light makeup, but it still took up a lot of time.

She wished there was something in the world that could complete makeup in a second. She wasn't sure if men would be interested, but it would probably be very popular with women.

"Let me think... I remember there are several doors here. Sigh... Because of this fake identity, have I suffered a lot of unnecessary hardships?"

Yu Shiyue turned and ran towards the other door that was closest to her, inwardly groaning in despair.

There were many opportunities to explain that little misunderstanding back then, but Yu Shiyue never did so for other purposes, and then she kept suffering. For example, now, she ignores the right door and insists on going through another door.

It's so early in the morning, and I'm already sleep-deprived, yet I still have to go through such a long and complicated process...

What's the point?

Yu Shiyue wanted to cry but had no tears.

"We'll be meeting soon... What should I say? Should I get straight to the point?"

Standing at the entrance of the residential compound, Xia Che held his phone in his hand, frowning with a troubled expression.

It was Xia Che's idea to invite Yue's sister out this time, but fortunately, she didn't refuse.

Although I have explained my purpose and the other party is aware of it, how to approach the conversation is still a problem.

Are you asking this right away?

Even when playing games, you need to develop your character for a while first, right?

Having powerful skills and good equipment increases your chances of winning.

"What should I do..."

Xia Che frowned in thought when, just then, a lively voice came from not far away: "Xia Che!"

Looking up, I saw a beautiful girl exuding the scent of mint, smiling sweetly and waving her arms in the distance.

"You're here?"

Xia Che was taken aback. He hadn't figured out how to approach the conversation yet, so he could only smile and wave.

When Yu Shiyue came closer, Xia Che couldn't help but feel a little dazed looking at her exquisite face.

Yes, they look alike...

These brother and sister look so damn alike.

They look like they were made from the same mold.

Although they are siblings and share the same blood, can they really look exactly alike?

Xia Che touched his chin, feeling that it was still impossible to generalize.

After all, he and Xia Yuxin don't look alike.

He was a sleazy blond guy, while Xia Yuxin was a high-class princess. If the two of them had the chance to go out together, passersby would definitely not think they were siblings. Instead, they would call the police on the street, saying that they had seen a criminal kidnap a beautiful woman.

"Sorry, sorry, my home is a bit far from here. I came as soon as I received your message, so I was a little slow."

Yu Shiyue pretended to be very tired, supporting herself on her knees with her hands and breathing heavily.

Actually, it wasn't all an act.

She stayed at home most of the time, and her health was already poor.

The Lishi Quyuan Garden was too large, with several kilometers between its two main gates. To avoid arousing Xia Che's suspicion, she ran the entire way, engaging in strenuous exercise early in the morning...

It's inevitable to feel tired.

"Oh yeah... wait a minute, if I remember correctly, you don't live in Jiang City, do you? You go to school in the next city? Then how did you get here so quickly?"

Xia Che was taken aback. Yu Shiyue was a high school student who only came here to play during holidays.

Xia Che had been too busy lately and forgot about this matter.

Now that I suddenly remember...

That's not right, is it?

I sent the message this morning, and only an hour has passed since then. How did Yu Shiyue manage to get here directly from the next city?

Teleport?

There are no defensive towers nearby.

"I'm staying at a friend's house. Um... I came here for a visit, and I happened to receive your message, so I came over."

Yu Shiyue's delicate body stiffened slightly, thinking to herself, "Oh no, oh no, how could I forget my own persona?"

Fortunately, she quickly recovered, giggling as she took a few steps forward and grabbed Xia Che's arm, tugging at it a few times: "What's wrong? Didn't you ask me out? Are you a teacher at our school? Why do you have to ask me everything?"
