Mu Yiran's bottom was so numb from sitting outside that she had no feeling in it, and she had no idea how long it would take for Shi Youxi to come out.
So she greeted one of the upright-looking men next to her and went to settle her life's important matter.
Ten minutes later.
Mu Yiran emerged from the bathroom feeling refreshed, but Shi Youxi still hadn't come out.
Since that's the case...
She slipped downstairs, and none of the black-clad bodyguards stopped her. Mu Yiran thus made her way to the kitchen tea room in a straightforward manner.
"Hello, I need to make a cup of tea for the young master," Mu Yiran said to a slightly plump woman inside.
"Ah, the tea is all here, please help yourself."
Mu Yiran searched through the tea canisters, finding only handmade tea bags worth a fortune, of all kinds, but not the one Shi Youxi drank.
That shouldn't be the case.
But after searching several times, she still couldn't find the flavor of tea that Shi Youxi liked to drink, so she picked up a tea canister of the same brand and asked the woman again.
"Um, I can't find the milk whittard one."
The woman glanced at it only once. "Madam said the young master doesn't like this taste."
She took a can out of the cabinet. "Here, this is what Madam always gives the young master."
"You're new here, right? It's alright, you'll figure out the young master's preferences soon enough." The woman prepared a teacup and hot water for her, offering her words of comfort.
Mu Yiran took it with a puzzled look. She could smell a faint bitter coffee aroma even without looking at the ingredients.
dislike?
If Mu Yiran hadn't personally witnessed Shi Youxi finish that pot of tea by himself that afternoon, she would have believed it too.
Shi Youxi has two faces at such a young age. Is it because she wants to appear more mature and composed in front of Shi Yan and Bai Shengsheng?
He's clearly a child who likes sweet things, so why do you keep making him eat and drink all sorts of weird and wonderful foods?
Is pretending to be an adult more fashionable than pretending to be a man?
As a college student who has been pretending to be an adult for many years but is still incredibly naive, Mu Yiran says: Shi Youxi absolutely has to be made to realize his true colors.
The more he tried to stop himself from drinking these sweet and cloying things, the more he made him drink them. He wanted Shi Youxi to know the wickedness of this society: adults aren't so easy to pretend to be!
So she thanked the woman for her kindness, and when she was alone in the tea room, she took out another jar of something.
Looking at the name on it, Mu Yiran smiled with satisfaction.
......
Shi Youxi came out of the room and, as usual, saw Shi Yan and Shi Si waiting outside the door.
The two people must have just come out of the study; the door was open, and light was streaming into the hallway.
"Young Master, are you going back?" Shi Si asked.
Shi Youxi did not answer. He felt both cold and hot, and his fingers were tingling with pain.
Shi Yan was about to go inside when Bai Shengsheng, who always had more trouble falling asleep on this day than usual, had to take her to the physiotherapy room first.
However, Shi Youxi still blocked the doorway, and only then did Shi Yan look down at his son, who was only up to his chin.
"Father..."
"Your recent assessment results have been very poor, why?" Shi Yan's tone was similar to Shi Youxi's, only colder and flatter.
"You think you can enter the gate looking like this piece of trash?"
"......"
"Remember your responsibilities: besides being your mother's hope, you are also the heir of the Shi family."
"Father!"
"Father, you usually ask me to come on Saturdays, why did you come earlier today?" Shi Youxi asked, raising his voice.
Shi Yan stared directly into his eyes, and the pressure emanating from him made Shi Si, who was standing next to him, tense up as well.
"I'm taking your mother to Canada for medical treatment tomorrow. She wants to see you before she leaves."
"Go back early. You're supposed to report to school next month. I'll have someone increase the training intensity from now on. This is your punishment."
After saying that, Shi Yan walked past him and entered Bai Shengsheng's room.
The last bit of expectation in Shi Youxi's heart vanished with Shi Yan's words. He blinked hard, and the scarlet in his eyes was not visible in the dark corridor. Without lingering any longer, he turned and walked towards the door.
The outside is still the same as when he left.
No, they're not the same.
Shi Youxi stared intently at the sofa where Mu Yiran should have been sitting, and asked the person next to him, "Where's my sister?"
"That lady just went to the restroom," the tattooed man with an upright expression replied matter-of-factly.
He had a particular fondness for this young master who only came once a month. The sect leader's son was indeed handsome; he was always smiling, gentle, and refined whenever he faced them.
Once the young master takes over, no one will immediately assume they're gangsters when they go to work or on business trips.
Who understands? They also want to be a low-profile gangster.
Shi Youxi's expression remained flawless. He glanced at his finger, then dug hard at it, causing the small, bleeding cut to open wide.
A surge of violence rose within him. He couldn't understand why his sister always disobeyed him. She was his sister; she could only stay by his side and couldn't go anywhere else.
It should be like a doll, locked up, locked up is fine.
Thinking this, Shi Youxi turned and walked towards the bathroom.
He turned around and saw Mu Yiran carrying something up the stairs. The strong smell of milk immediately reached him, and the sweet smell made him stop in his tracks.
"Oh, you're out. I thought it would take a long time, so I went to get you something to eat. You only eat so little for dinner."
Mu Yiran pretended not to see his frown and quickly walked to his side. She put down the plate and picked up the cup of milk tea to give it to him.
"Here, I made this especially for you." Ten spoonfuls of milk powder and ten spoonfuls of sugar, one cup and you're in heaven.
“We’ll go back after you finish drinking—” Her expression of anticipation vanished the moment she saw the boy’s bleeding finger.
"What happened to you? What happened to your hand? Didn't you just disinfect it?" She grabbed Shi Youxi's hand to check it. The wound had not only gotten bigger, but it had also infected two people.
Not a single finger on either hand was spared.
Mu Yiran carefully grabbed his wrist. "Let's go, let's get this sorted out first." Before they had taken more than a few steps, she was pulled back.
Did I hurt you?
"Sister, let's go home."
Two voices rang out simultaneously.
Mu Yiran coaxed him, "Go back, disinfect your hands first and then go back."
However, Shi Youxi seemed very anxious and pulled Mu Yiran away. Mu Yiran hurriedly put down the scalding hot water cup and jogged to follow him.
Shi Si followed silently behind, puzzled by Shi Youxi's reaction. Was this new maid the young master's new toy?
The three of them walked down to the first floor, and Shi Youxi suddenly stopped again. Mu Yiran's hand was sore from his grip. She felt that Shi Youxi was not acting normally at the moment, but she didn't know what was wrong.
To be honest, Shi Youxi wasn't exactly normal today.
Did he do something wrong and get a mixed-gender beating from Shi Yan and Bai Shengsheng?
That's great, your childhood is complete.
This is a good thing, so why did this little weirdo suddenly fall ill?
Before Mu Yiran could figure it out, Shi Youxi suddenly stopped.
"What is it now?"
"Go and take those things with you," the boy said coldly.
"Huh? You mean tea and pastries?" Mu Yiran didn't know why he wanted them again, but isn't that what working people have to do—serve their boss anytime, anywhere?
"Wait a minute, I'm coming, let go of me."
Mu Yiran wanted to take the opportunity to free her poor hands; if he kept pinching them, they would turn into pig's trotters.
Shi Youxi still didn't react. Mu Yiran was about to habitually curse his parents again, but then she remembered whose territory she was on and quickly changed her mind.
"Let go first, I'll be quick—"
"Okay." Shi Si's voice suddenly rang out, and Mu Yiran then realized that there was another person behind her.
The boy walks so quietly that she wouldn't notice if he did something.
Shi Si went to get her things, while she and Shi Youxi went out first and got into the car, the spacious Bentley cabin gleaming with a soft light.
Mu Yiran tried to turn on the car lights, but before her hand could even touch the touchpad, she was grabbed again, and a weight slammed down on her leg.
In the darkness, Shi Youxi's hoarse voice reached her ears, "Don't turn on the light, it's too bright."
The driver in the front seat was perceptive enough to raise the partition, turning the back seat into a completely enclosed and quiet space. The only sounds in the air were the faint noise from the air conditioning vents and the two people's soft breathing.
Mu Yiran twisted her waist a little uncomfortably. The two of them were still in a rather intimate position. Although Shi Youxi was still just a little chick, this was the first time Mu Yiran had been in such close contact with a member of the opposite sex since her father passed away.
Moreover, this is only her first day with Shi Youxi. Is Shi Youxi an E-person? Is he so outgoing?
She was about to pretend that her legs were numb so that Shi Youxi would get up when the soft flesh on her thigh tightened. Shi Youxi's voice became muffled because it was buried in Mu Yiran's skirt.
"elder sister."
Do you love me?
