Xin Mao smiled gently, but his smile concealed a knife; if Shen Que dared to say anything bad about the food, he would kill him tonight.

Under pressure, Chen Que hurriedly shook his head, "No, no, it's delicious."

"That settles it then, why bother learning anything else?" Ye Jiu patted his shoulder. "By the way, when are you leaving this time?"

Shen Que's face quickly fell. "I can stay for three more days. After the training camp, I'll have a week off. All the other team members have gone back to the base, but I'm going home. The Autumn Season is coming up soon, and this is probably the last time I'll come back before the competition ends..."

Shen Que became increasingly distressed as he spoke, while Xin Mao gloated, wishing Shen Que would never return.

"Sister, I don't want to do this anymore... I'll retire at the end of this year after the Autumn Season."

"Ugh, quit already, quit if you don't want to do it, don't force yourself. Come to think of it, you were the one who stayed up all night playing games in the beginning, but now it's like I forced you to go pro." Ye Jiu suddenly felt a headache coming on.

We initially let him pursue a professional career because we were afraid he would starve. Now that he has this permanent position, we should respect his wishes.

Shen Que shook his head helplessly, "No, no, I still really enjoy playing games, it's just that I haven't been able to see my sister for a long time because of competitions, and I don't want to be away from her for so long again."

"I see." Ye Jiu patted Chen Que's head. "In the end, you should do what you like and what you want to do."

After listening, Shen Que pondered for a moment, then said, "I want to be... my sister's dog!"

"Pfft!" Xin Mao, who was drinking water, spat out a mouthful of water.

It has to be you; he just couldn't say it so openly.

The air fell silent for a moment. Ye Jiu then turned to Xin Mao and asked, "What is something you want to do?"

Xin Mao lowered his head in thought and then spoke, "I think..."

"My sister stepped on me!"

Ye Jiu: ...

Each one is more outrageous than the last. Get lost.

She slammed her bedroom door shut. "Nobody's allowed in my bed tonight. If I find out, I'll break their legs."

Remembering that the two of them weren't human, Ye Jiu opened the door again and added, "If your legs are broken, you're not allowed to fix them yourself!"

She slammed the door shut even harder.

Xin Mao and Shen Que exchanged glances, both with the same disdain in their eyes.

Pshaw, you got rejected.

Tch, it's all your fault for making your sister angry.

The two disliked each other and went into their bedrooms one after the other, closing the doors with two sharp "snap" sounds.

Do you really think they'll stay in bed at night? Of course not.

Ye Jiu was kidnapped by kidnappers again. The familiar plot and the familiar feeling of suffocation made Ye Jiu jump up from the bed and kick both of them to the ground.

"roll."

The two people who were caught climbing into each other's bed displayed their shamelessness to the extreme.

"Sister, don't abandon me. I'm more obedient than Xinmao/Chenque."

Bah, the useless twins have increased their tacit understanding.

A few days later, Li Yucheng visited again, bringing with him the house transfer agreement and the employment contract.

After verifying that everything was correct, the three signed their names. Li Yucheng added, "The 3 million is still under review and will be transferred to your account within 30 working days. We will contact you on WeChat if there are any issues we cannot resolve. It will be a pleasure to cooperate with you."

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

After this, Ye Jiu lost interest in going to work at the newspaper and simply resigned. She spent her days at home watching TV series and occasionally resolving "minor conflicts."

On the day Shen Que set off for the base, he looked as if he had lost his parents, his face long and drawn, while Xin Mao's mouth was practically stretched to the sky.

After dropping Shen Que off at the subway station, Xin Mao couldn't hide his smile any longer. "Go quickly, I'll take good care of my sister."

At this moment, Shen Que's desire to kill reached its peak. "You better behave yourself, or I'll find every way to take a leave of absence and conduct a surprise inspection."

Ye Jiu nudged Xin Mao with her elbow, signaling him to tone it down, "Don't upset him, what if he submits his retirement application tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Mao put away his smile and put on a serious face, saying, "Have a safe journey."

"See you next time, sister! Remember to come watch my match!"

Ye Jiu nodded repeatedly, "I remember, I remember."

——

Without Chen Que's checks and balances, Xin Mao monopolized all of Ye Jiu's time. After his true form was exposed, he no longer concealed himself. With the help of vines for housework, he could do everything himself. He wished he could stick to Ye Jiu 24 hours a day.

Xin Mao's physique was naturally excellent. She pinched his pectoral muscles and touched his abdominal muscles at the same time. This kind of life of eating and waiting to die while being accompanied by a handsome man was more comfortable than heaven.

Occasionally, Li Yucheng would send messages to deal with the alien species. They would change their clothes and go on their dates, passing by the locations Li Yucheng had sent them on the way, easily taking care of the aliens without delaying their dates and completing their missions.

Li Yucheng, who couldn't stand seeing others do well, was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet. He worked himself to death to earn that little bit of money, while others just moved their fingers and passed by for a few seconds on a date and took the money!

Good heavens! I'm never calling you grandpa again!

Jealousy can cause a person's body to break apart.

Shen Que would often make surprise video calls to prevent the two of them from doing things behind his back that he didn't like.

The weather turned cool quickly, and the autumn tournament kicked off amidst much anticipation.

Ye Jiu had promised Shen Que that she would keep her word, but it wouldn't be good to leave Xin Mao alone, so she bought him another ticket so the two of them could go watch the game together.

Esports competitions seem exclusive to outsiders than any other competitions. People who don't understand games are completely confused, but fortunately, Xin Mao wasn't there to watch the competition.

Ye Jiu was so engrossed in watching that she had no idea that Xin Mao had been watching her the entire match.

After the match, Shen Que slipped out to meet Ye Jiu and expressed extreme dissatisfaction with Xin Mao's involvement.

"Sister, why do you take Xinmao with you everywhere you go?!"

Ye Jiu looked at the ground sheepishly and muttered, "I can't just leave him alone at home, can I?"
