After finishing their late-night snack and returning home, Wu Yue and Cheng Pingxi finally saw the note left by their parents on the table.
[Sweetie, we're going on a world tour! Take good care of yourselves at home with your brother this summer. —From your loving parents.]
"They used to do this too?" Cheng Pingxi sighed, rubbing his forehead in exasperation.
Wu Yue shook her head: "I used to be alone too, and they were all looking for you overseas."
She didn't mean anything by it, but Cheng Pingxi interpreted it as something else entirely: that his parents had neglected to spend the years he should have spent with his sister because they were looking for him.
The girl's indifferent expression was seen by Cheng Pingxi as a forced smile.
A pang of heartache swept through him.
"I'm sorry, Yueyue."
Cheng Pingxi reached out and pulled Wu Yue into his arms, his voice low: "It's all my fault."
Wu Yue: ...
She was supposed to be alone when she transmigrated. The system added backstory details for her, coincidentally choosing the Wu family, who shared her surname. In fact, Cheng Pingxi was the only child in the Wu family, and it was perfectly reasonable that her parents had lived abroad for a long time.
Everything about "Witch Moon" is fake, so your cheap brother really doesn't need to feel guilty.
The Witch God looked completely bewildered.
[The older brother probably doesn't know yet, he never had a younger sister.]
[Hey girl, what you said really touched me...it made me a little sad]
[So I can side with the Witch God and my brother?]
[Wake up! Although this is a plot added by the system, they are actually siblings in this story.]
[Cult members, take it easy! Uphold the Smoke & Dust CP banner and it won't fall!]
"No, I'm very happy. And knowing that I have such an amazing older brother makes me feel very fortunate," Wu Yue said, offering a somewhat insincere consolation.
Cheng Pingxi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Happy? Blissful?"
Who was the one who said he would beat me up like a peeled crayfish when we first met?
"Oh, alright, alright, brother, I've been busy all day, I'm going upstairs to take a shower now." With that, Wu Yue took the opportunity to slip away.
After his sister left, Cheng Pingxi stared blankly at the note on the table.
Why don't my parents send messages in WeChat groups when they go out? Why do they write notes instead?
He paused, thinking it was probably just the kind of romance from that era, and didn't think much of it. He casually tucked the note under the toothpick holder and went upstairs to take a shower.
...
As expected, when Wu Yue pushed open the door to the divine beast room, there wasn't a single one there.
It seems those two went to play in Fuzhu again while she was away. Ah~ what am I going to do with two such unruly beasts?!
Wu Yue quickly took a shower, and as soon as she stepped out, she saw two beasts sitting on the sofa in her room, their bodies faintly exuding a wild scent that did not belong to this home.
She feigned ignorance: "What are you doing here?"
"Hearing your voice when you come back, of course I have to give you a massage. Little Wuyue, you don't know, Tianlie and I have been so busy these past two days while you were away, reading books every day and trying to enrich ourselves with knowledge." Lu Shu blinked her big eyes, speaking very sincerely.
Wu Yue chuckled twice. If she hadn't gone in to take a look when she went upstairs, she might have actually been fooled.
As she dried her long, damp hair, she sat down on the sofa. "Oh? What books have you been reading? Tell me about them."
Tian Lie, now in the form of a child, said in a childish voice, "The domineering CEO has fallen in love with me."
Lu Shu blushed and angrily said, "What? That's not true! I was reading Zizhi Tongjian and that book about extraordinary people in the secular world... What domineering CEO falling in love with me? No way. Xiao Wuyue, don't listen to Tian Lie's nonsense."
Wu Yue sniffed slightly: "You seem to have a strong preference for wild game. You went to Fuzhu to have some fun again, didn't you? Alright, you can go out now. I won't blame you. At most, I'll make you stand guard at the door for a few days."
Lu Shu: "I'm not a dog, I don't want to squat at the door and guard the house!"
The girl raised her eyelids slightly.
Deer-like creature: "Woof!"
