The next morning, when Wu Yue went downstairs, she found that Cheng Pingxi was actually at home, sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
[Haha, didn't the Wizard God say he wasn't going to school today?]
[Witch God: It's my fault for waking up too early]
[Biological clock: Look at me! I'm always on time!]
"Little sister, what time did you get home last night?"
No matter how Wu Yue looked at it, she felt that her cheap brother's smile was definitely a death smile.
She was open and aboveboard, unafraid of being known, and had no reason to hide it from her brother who could live for two hundred years, so she honestly replied, "Ah, it's probably around two o'clock."
She looked well-behaved and sensible: "It's a special case, it won't happen again next time."
From now on, the prefix "brother" is no longer worthy of being described as handsome and dashing like Pan An; it is only worthy of being described as "living for two hundred years."
[It's been so long since I've seen him, he's gotten even more handsome~ It's love at first sight!]
I don't ask for much, could you please give it to me, my dear brother?
Wu Yue's obedience only softened Cheng Pingxi's heart for a moment. Soon, he put on a stern face and frowned, saying, "Sister, according to the law of marriage in the country, men must be no earlier than twenty-two years old and women no earlier than twenty years old."
"ha……?"
This sudden topic caught Wu Yue completely off guard.
Wu Yue: "What do you mean?"
"You're only sixteen. Don't hang out with that guy Yan Chiyu. He'll lead you astray." As long as Yan Chiyu isn't around, Cheng Pingxi will never miss an opportunity to speak ill of him.
Seeing her brother-in-law tearing the toast in his hand as if it were Yan Chiyu, Wu Yue couldn't help but laugh, and she curved her lips into a smile.
"Be serious! What are you laughing at! I'm talking to you about something important." Cheng Pingxi glared at Wu Yue.
The girl's smile vanished instantly. She could accept her brother's loving scolding, but she wouldn't argue back. She quickly walked over and sat down opposite Cheng Pingxi. "Okay, okay, I won't smile anymore. Go ahead, go ahead."
In short—
Cheng Pingxi cleared his throat, feigning seriousness, and said solemnly, "You're still young. Don't do things you shouldn't do. Please remember the legal marriage age I just mentioned; that's the minimum standard. If you do anything after you're past that age... your brother won't care. You don't know how dangerous society is these days. Some boys use the excuse of 'like' or 'love' to ask classmates or friends out, and then do things that can't be described. So, as a young woman, you must be careful and protect yourself when you're out."
Wu Yue understood, though she really wanted to complain about her cheap brother's unfounded worries and lewd speculations.
Can--
She appreciated his caring attitude.
"Okay, I will follow your teachings, brother." Wu Yue smiled sweetly at him, behaving like a younger sister.
Cheng Pingxi handed Wu Yue a loaf of toast topped with sweet and sour blueberry jam. "Good to know. Have breakfast."
"Hehe, thank you, brother." Wu Yue took a bite of toast, chewed a few times and swallowed before asking, "What have you been up to lately? I haven't seen your schedule on WeChat Moments, and even Mr. Song's Moments post is about you taking a break recently."
"It's something personal."
Cheng Pingxi's smile faded, and he lowered his eyes. His tone was normal, and Wu Yue, who was drinking milk with her head down, missed his expression and did not notice anything unusual.
She casually replied, "What personal matter? Do you need any help? Your parents are going abroad, so if you've taken care of things, you can rest at home for a while longer."
"It's not important." Cheng Pingxi naturally changed the subject. "Eat quickly, I'll take you to school later."
Wu Yue thought that taking her to school was just a matter of hitching a ride with her brother, but she never expected that things would turn out to be far beyond her expectations.
