The capital of Libya in 2008.

Exhausted, Mu Yiran leaned back in the car seat. Shi Youxi's schedule was packed this week, with physical training every two days and various tutoring and music theory classes every day, which meant Mu Yiran was also working non-stop.

She turned her head and looked at Shi Youxi beside her, who didn't seem tired at all and was even a little excited.

Shi Youxi has a cello exam performance today. She is wearing a British-style suit with a ruby ​​lapel pin, her bangs are combed up, and her proud brow bone is fully exposed. She looks like a little domineering CEO.

At Shi Youxi's request, Mu Yiran wore a maid outfit made from a modified red modern Chinese cheongsam, with her hair half-tied up and adorned with a lacquered hairpin given to her by Shi Youxi.

This entire outfit was handmade using the fabrics I bought last week.

Mu Yiran actually started playing Miracle Nikki in this world.

She was the one being played.

Shi Youxi was fiddling with the ruby ​​on the lapel pin for the nth time, unable to bear it any longer, when Mu Yiran stopped him.

"Don't bother, I just did it casually, it'll fall off easily."

This ruby ​​brooch was made by Mu Yiran from a discarded dress that Shi Youxi had taken.

She even used the extra diamond fragments to make cufflinks and gave them to Toki, whom she happened to meet at the time.

"Does your sister also design jewelry?" Shi Youxi crawled over and rested her head on her lap.

“Oh, well… a little bit.” Mu Yiran, who ranked first in the jewelry design major at Shenzhen-Hong Kong University, sat up straight with composure.

Was I the first person my sister gave a gift to?

Shi Youxi moved his hand away. From this angle, his phoenix eyes looked particularly round, reflecting dappled sunlight. His eyes were filled with Mu Yiran's face.

The slight curve at the corners of his eyes revealed his particularly joyful mood at that moment.

Mu Yiran tightened her lower abdomen and chuckled, "Ah, more or less."

Youxi was the first in this world.

"Almost?" Shi Youxi sat up abruptly, narrowing his eyes, and leaned closer to her, saying, "So there are others too?"

"No, strictly speaking, you're the first one."

"So there's a second one?"

"Who is it?" Shi Youxi pressed, not expecting there really was someone else.

Mu Yiran really wanted to slap herself from a minute ago; she had no idea that this guy's possessiveness and controlling nature were inhumanly strong.

How do I lie to him now?

"Sister, don't try to lie to me again. Who is it?"

Mu Yiran: "......"

But this time, before Mu Yiran could even come up with a random cat or dog, someone else volunteered to claim it as her.

Shi Si had just finished reporting his itinerary to Shi Yan when he overheard the last sentence of their conversation. Hearing his young master's serious tone, Shi Si obediently turned around and said, "It might be me."

Mu Yiran and Shi Youxi both turned their heads and looked at the unexpected and conspicuous figure (the savior).

Shi Si, oblivious to anything amiss, said to the boy who was staring intently at him, "Miss Mu also gave me one. It's very pretty. Miss Mu is very skillful."

Shi Youxi observed Shi Si seriously for the first time.

Shi Si was adopted by the Shi family and has been by Shi Youxi's side since he was very young. He is five years older than Shi Youxi and is now a handsome young man.

Her face... is alright.

She's also much taller than him...

Ugh, I really don't like looking at it.

So, did his sister give him things because she liked Shi Si, just like she liked him?

Why should I...?

Shi Si felt uneasy under Shi Youxi's gaze. Didn't the young master like Miss Mu very much? Was his praise wrong?

Shi Si had never praised a girl before, so he really used every kind of compliment imaginable. Even though he thought Mu Yiran's appearance was average, he still went against his conscience and said "a beauty of unparalleled grace."

But the more he praised, the uglier Shi Youxi's face became, until Shi Si shut his mouth tremblingly, at which point the boy suddenly changed his expression.

Shi Youxi leaned back into Mu Yiran's arms, intertwined her fingers with hers, and looked at Shi Si with a smile, "Of course, my sister is perfect in every way, and she will only give me gifts in the future."

"Right, sister?"

Mu Yiran was instantly charmed by his deadly smile, so she naturally agreed to everything.

Back at the villa, Mu Yiran rushed to relieve herself, opened the car door and ran off.

For more than a week, Shi Si stopped opening the car door for Shi Youxi, since Shi Youxi ignored him anyway.

He always followed Mu Yiran out of the car, so he developed the habit of opening the car door for her side.

However, this time Shi Youxi did not get off the car immediately after Mu Yiran. Instead, he waited until the girl was out of sight before slowly sticking his head out.

"Shi Si, do you like your older sister?"

Shi Youxi sat in the back seat, expressionless, watching Shi Si bend over to wait for him to get out of the car.

The boy's innate sense of superiority made Shi Si's throat tighten, and he dared not breathe.

Even if Shi Si was slow on the uptake, he knew at this point that he couldn't say "I like you." Besides, he didn't like you in the first place!

Shi Youxi squinted and held the lapel pin up in the light. The ruby ​​sparkled red in the sunlight. "From now on, you're not allowed to peek at your sister anymore, and you're not allowed to talk to her, understand?"

Shi Si didn't know when he had been secretly watching Mu Yiran, but since the young master said so, he could only nod.

Having been by Shi Youxi's side for so many years, he naturally knew the dark side hidden beneath the boy's perfect exterior.

How could Shi Yan and Bai Shengsheng's child be a normal person?

Shi Youxi carefully fastened the lapel pin back onto her tie, got out of the car, and held out her hand to Shi Si, "Give it to me, it's my sister's."

Shi Si had never been so quick-witted in his life. He immediately pulled open the hidden compartment under the passenger seat, took out the jewelry box inside, and turned around to present it with both hands.

My palm felt lighter, but then a sharp, intense pain followed.

Shi Youxi gripped the knife and slashed hard across Shi Si's left palm, the blood flowing down the wound and through both of the boy's hands.

Shi Si's arms trembled involuntarily, and he kept his head down, motionless.

Shi Youxi tossed the knife to Shi Si, saying, "Wash it clean and give it back to me."

It's a bit of a pity that he can't cut Shi Si's face, otherwise his sister won't think he's good-looking anymore. After thinking for a moment, he said, "You can cover your face when you come here from now on."

Shi Youxi opened the jewelry box, inside were exquisite and gorgeous red diamond cufflinks that matched his lapel pin.

"My sister is mine, so everything she owns is mine too."

He buttoned up his cuffs, raised his hand to the edge of his tie, and his face was full of a satisfied smile.

"Shi Si, is it pretty?"

Ignoring the injury on his hand, Shi Si put on gloves, wiped the dagger clean with a handkerchief, and put it in his pocket. He then took a serious look at the boy, whose fair skin was accentuated by the ruby, giving him an air of arrogance.

"It looks good and suits the young master very well."

...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Shi Youxi's holiday is almost over.

The day before school started, Mu Yiran sat on the sofa outside the study with her legs crossed, reading the latest issue of Milan magazine. This year was still the golden age of top designers, and the information was more complete than in Mu Yiran's world.

Along the way, Mu Yiran saw many high-end jewelry pieces that she had seen in Shi Youxi's jewelry cabinet before, not to mention the haute couture clothing.

The jewelry is mostly women's style, so it's highly likely that Shi Yan bought it for Bai Shengsheng.

Mu Yiran didn't quite understand. With such a generous love, what was Bai Shengsheng not satisfied with? Moreover, she had seen the photos and Shi Yan was also extremely handsome, a perfect match in every way. Why was Bai Shengsheng still so hung up on that "Silent Brother"?

Ultimately, she was just observing the love-hate relationship between the couple with a detached, gossipy attitude, as long as it didn't affect Shi Youxi.

The children are the most innocent.

After spending more than a month together, Mu Yiran had clearly come to regard Shi Youxi as her own child. Perhaps she had also been infected by Shi Youxi's abnormal possessiveness, and now she believed that no one but herself could bully Shi Youxi.

Mu Yiran had just discovered the fun of painless childbirth, and she even thought that it wouldn't be unacceptable to take Shi Youxi with her when she ran away in the future, as long as she took his card with her.

Seeing that Shi Youxi was about to finish class, she dialed the landline on her desk and asked the kitchen to bring up some tea.

So that Mu Yiran would have no reason to run around anymore, Shi Youxi had the butler install landlines all over the villa.

The timing was perfect. Just as Mu Yiran arrived at the tea shop, the study door opened, and Alex's tall figure stepped out first, accompanied by a strong scent of perfume. He greeted Mu Yiran warmly when he saw her outside the door.

"Miss Mu, thank you for your hard work."

Mu Yiran smiled, but when she heard the footsteps behind the man, she changed her expression. The next second, the boy's soft arms wrapped around her waist.

Shi Youxi nestled against the girl's chest, inhaling her faint sweet scent, and his tense brain, strained from working at full capacity, immediately relaxed.

My sister is so soft and cuddly, it's so comfortable to hug her...

"What are you and the teacher talking about?" He looked up, his voice muffled.

Mu Yiran grabbed the back of his head and pulled his head away. "Hehe, we didn't talk about anything. Are you thirsty? I made you some milk tea."

Alex sipped his flower tea, quietly watching the two people behaving intimately. His gaze behind his glasses was deep. He noticed the small ornaments on Shi Youxi's body, which he had never worn before.

Shi Youxi's gaze was still fixed on the two of them when Alex met his eyes and smiled. He ruffled the boy's hair and said, "Xiao Xi is going to start school soon. Do you want any back-to-school gifts?"

Shi Youxi shook his head. He didn't lack anything, nor did he lack one or two gifts.

Alex didn't mind and took a box out of his bag. "I heard you have a performance at school after the semester starts. This is a lucky charm that I always bring with me when I perform. I'm giving it to Xiaoxi."

Shi Youxi took the box, inside which was a cello-shaped brooch. It looked quite old, but it was well-preserved, delicate and small, with the mother-of-pearl on it still shining brightly.

Whether Shi Youxi likes it or not is unknown, but Mu Yiran likes it very much. Her professional habit kicked in, and she subconsciously started to study it.

Shi Youxi didn't care at all.

After finishing the milk tea that Mu Yiran had made for him, no one wiped his mouth. Turning his head, he saw the girl eating a small cake. He leaned over and intercepted the bite that Mu Yiran was about to put into her mouth.

Mu Yiran almost ate his saliva. "You like this? You can have it all."

The rich, creamy cheese flavor in her mouth was quite delicious, and she took another bite.

This one is just so-so.

He lost interest and shoved a tissue at Mu Yiran, saying, "Sister's lips are sticky."

Mu Yiran had no choice but to stop and wipe the cake crumbs from the corner of his mouth, and she heard the boy's voice becoming hoarse.

"Sister, where's the back-to-school gift you prepared for me?"
