"It's because Leah is such an idiot, she might drive her brother crazy one day."
Lin Xi hummed in agreement. From the wooden basket containing the clean clothes, she pulled out a pair of bear-triangle shorts: "Brother, look! Leah is still wearing these. I always thought they were Chrona's."
"Ahhh!" Lia chased after Lin Xi, her face flushed. The battlefield moved from the bathroom to the living room, where the two of them used Lin Da as a pillar, circling around him.
