Shen Mianmian thought her younger brother would lock the door, but to her surprise, the doorknob opened.
They opened the door and their eyes met.
Shen Sui, who was playing a mobile game, looked up and exclaimed, "Oh no! I forgot to lock the door!"
Chenmianmian entered the room.
Shen Sui muttered under his breath, "Did I give permission? You just entered someone's room without permission?"
Chen Mianmian looked at her younger brother expressionlessly, "I'll turn off the router."
Chen Sui scoffed, "Who doesn't have a data plan?"
Chen Mianmian raised an eyebrow. "I'll call you."
I've blocked you.
"I'll call you using Mom's phone."
"..."
"If you're so capable, try blocking Mom's number too. Don't worry, I have plenty of ways to let Mom know that you've blocked her."
Just as Shen Sui was about to retort, Shen Mianmian added, "Don't say it's because it interferes with your gaming that you blocked them. Mom has always been against you playing games. If she knew you blocked your family's phone numbers to play games, your allowance for next month might be gone."
Shen Sui's face immediately fell, "Sister! You're my own sister!"
"Yeah, if you weren't my brother, do you think you'd have a place in this family?"
Shen Sui wanted to cry again—his sister was always seen as the perfect child by others: good-looking, academically excellent, polite, and not promiscuous. After graduating from university, she passed the civil service exam on her first try. After starting work, she was adept at interpersonal relationships and was so smooth that several leaders wished they could take her home as their daughter-in-law.
But he only revealed his most sinister side to him, his own younger brother.
He never won against his sister.
Shen Sui's face fell, his arrogance gone. "You need something from me? Can you let me finish this game?"
He's with a girl!
My head may be severed, my blood may flow, but my pride cannot be lost!
If you mess up in front of a girl, you might as well just kill him.
Even without Shen Sui saying anything, Shen Mianmian knew what he was doing. "It's nothing, you can do your thing."
As he spoke, he went into the room, closed the door, and even locked it for Shen Sui.
after……
Then she watched her younger brother play video games.
Shen Sui felt his scalp tingle from being stared at so intently. This dignified Wild King had almost ruined his own reputation.
After the game ended, I hurriedly made up an excuse and quit the game, staring nervously at my wicked older sister.
But for a long time, Black-hearted Cotton Sister didn't say a word except stare at him.
Shen Sui asked cautiously, "Um...did I do something wrong? Tell me, I'll change! I definitely will!"
“I didn’t do anything wrong,” Chen Mianmian withdrew her longing gaze. “If I disappeared, you would be very happy, wouldn’t you?”
Shen Sui's face stiffened. "What's wrong with you so late at night? Although I'm a little disappointed that you're not a brother-supporting demon, there's no need to disappear, is there? Our family doesn't need your help... Wait, sister, what's wrong with you? You were fine just now at dinner."
Chen Mianmian was startled, and then she remembered the time.
She glanced quickly at the electronic alarm clock on her brother's desk and asked, "When was the last time you saw me?"
Shen Sui felt a chill run down his spine. "It's just...dinner? Sis, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me! Are you possessed or cursed? How come you're like a completely different person after only four hours?"
Four hours?
Chen Mianmian was terrified—because she had spent nearly a year in the book, her memories of reality began to blur. She vaguely remembered that before she entered the book, it was a Sunday, and she had dinner with her family. After that, everyone went about their own business.
After returning to her room, she felt bored, so she picked up a novel to read, which happened to be the one about transmigrating into a book.
In other words, the past year in her novel is not the same as time in reality.
Could it be understood that transmigrating into a book is like a real-life dream, where no matter how many years have passed, opening one's eyes doesn't affect the real world?
If that's the case, she doesn't need to rush back...
A slight headache reminded her of the headache she had before she stepped out of the book. As she rubbed her forehead, she wondered if she could... step back in?
She hurriedly shook her head—she must be crazy. The news had finally spread, why would she go back? To continue living in a strange body, as someone's concubine, and a lowly one at that?
Shen Sui was terrified. "Sister... Sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you shaking your head and nodding at the same time? Or... should I go to the hospital with you?"
"I'm fine, you can continue playing." Chen Mianmian got up.
Just as I was about to leave, I turned my head and saw the slightly worn Redmi phone on the bed. "That crappy phone, does it lag when playing games?"
Shen Sui was stunned and speechless. "It's...it's alright..."
Chen Mianmian nodded and then left.
Shen Sui remained slumped on the bed, rubbing his thin chin. "This is too strange. Should I tell Mom?"
Just as Shen Sui was pondering, his phone suddenly beeped with a message notification.
He picked up his phone, opened WeChat: [Black-hearted Cotton Sister], and transferred 100 yuan.
"???" He remained silent.
[Black-hearted Cotton Sister]: Go buy a new phone, so it'll be more powerful when you're with girls.
"!!!!" Shen Sui exclaimed—No! The problem is too serious! He absolutely has to tell Mom!
[Heartless Sister Cotton]: This is a confidentiality fee. If you leak the information, I will take it back.
"..." Shen Shen—Alright, the crisis is over, I'm still the same black-hearted cotton.
Afterwards, Shen Sui happily accepted the money, opened Taobao and JD.com, and pondered whether to support Lei Ge's business or buy Yaoyao Leading.
...
Transmigrating into a book is like a dream.
Although she vividly remembers everything that happened when she first entered the book, as time went by, she was no longer sure if she had actually entered the book.
Even the last lingering pain from the cold gradually faded away.
She even began to doubt whether she had actually been in pain, whether the pain was just an illusion, and whether transmigrating into the book was all a dream.
at the same time,
As memories fade, an indescribable longing grows ever clearer and more impossible to ignore.
...
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
That night,
When Chen Mianmian returned home, she opened the door to find three people staring at her with gleam in their eyes.
Mother Shen asked anxiously, "How did it go? Did it go smoothly?"
Mr. Shen maintained his dignity as an elderly father, pursing his lips and remaining silent, but his eyes held an undisguised expectation.
Now a bachelor's graduate and a first-year master's student, Shen Sui asked excitedly, "Sis, how is it?"
Facing the expectant gazes of the crowd, Chen Mianmian stood awkwardly at the door, unsure how to answer.
In an instant, all three understood.
Mother Shen coughed twice, then tried to remain calm, "Have you had dinner?"
Chen Mianmian changed her shoes. "I ate. It's on me."
Shen Sui was stunned. "What? He expects the woman to pay for the meal on a blind date? Is that guy really that stingy? Did he run into a weirdo?"
Shen Mianmian hurriedly explained, "No, that's not it. I insisted on treating everyone because..."
She didn't know how to say the rest.
My blind date is a university professor. He is tall, of above-average appearance, and has a scholarly air about him. Although he is thirty years old, he is not greasy at all. He is also humble and a good person.
Unfortunately, she not only didn't feel anything, but even strongly resisted it.
After much thought, she felt guilty for wasting other people's time and emotions, even though it was her fault. So she persuaded the other person to pay for dinner.
The gentleman was a smart man and immediately understood what she meant.
Although I felt sorry for her, I didn't blame her.
Mother Shen pulled her daughter along, "Come, come, sit down and tell me what happened."
