"No...no," Mu Shaoyi quickly shook her head. How could she possibly mind such things...
Her family's situation was only slightly better than You Ran's.
Dou Shiliu nodded slightly, then went to the kitchen to pour her a glass of boiled water.
"Drink it."
"Thank you," Mu Shaoyi said with a sweet smile to Dou Shiliu.
Dou Shiliu: "..."
This face shouldn't be smiling like that.
Dou Shiliu withdrew her hand. She had noticed that the teapot was broken when she poured the water, and the water had spilled onto her hand.
Mu Shaoyi grabbed a rag and wiped it casually, then curiously glanced at the neatly folded quilt opposite her.
That's where Juventus sleeps.
Mu Shaoyi quickly looked away, and she... she actually saw Juventus's bed! And it was so close!
For some reason, Mu Shaoyi felt like her nose was filled with the smell of Juventus, which made her face slightly flushed.
There was only one room in the house, and since You Ran was a girl, You Wen naturally gave it to her.
The host family never cared about Juventus; when they moved to this place, she was particularly disgusted with it.
Looking at Mu Shaoyi's appearance, Dou Shiliu felt that this girl and her younger brother were a good match.
They were all clean-cut young men and women, as pure and flawless as peach blossoms.
"Sister, you're back?"
The boy's voice was filled with surprise.
Juventus should be at work right now, Dou Shiliu frowned: "Why are you back?"
Yu Wencu stood at the door without coming in, his head down, not daring to look at her.
The tall boy stood outside, looking somewhat flustered and helpless.
"You got into a fight?"
"No"
"Then aren't you coming in?"
"I... got fired..."
"Oh, come in and eat."
Juventus was a little stunned; his sister invited him to dinner?
Dou Shiliu divided the only steamed bun into three pieces, handing one to Mu Shaoyi and one to You Wen outside.
Dou Shiliu finally understood what it meant to have such a bare house.
All the money went to tuition, how could there be any money left to buy food?
Juventus was really struggling financially, which is why they were trying to work hard, but unexpectedly, they were fired today...
He was still wondering how to face his sister…
To his surprise, Dou Shiliu was so calm and even introduced Mu Shaoyi to him.
“She’s my classmate. We’ll be going to school soon. You can rest at home for a few days. I’ll figure out how to provide food.”
Dou Shiliu ate the last bite of the steamed bun without any expression.
She choked up a little. The steamed bun was a bit hard, and since she didn't know how to start a fire, it hadn't been heated properly.
We'll just eat it as is.
As soon as Juventus entered, he saw a pretty girl. They made eye contact for a moment, then blushed and looked away.
Dou Shiliu: "..."
His innocent act made me really embarrassed.
He slowly raised the water bottle and took a sip.
"Sister, I'll go look again this afternoon. You and your classmates go to class. Don't worry about the food, I'll find it."
Juventus's fearless demeanor amused Mu Shaoyi, who was standing to the side.
Hearing the girl's bell-like laughter, Juventus awkwardly touched his hair.
Dou Shiliu put down the water and glanced at him. The boy's hands were particularly rough from years of work, but his face was very defined, with a healthy wheat-colored complexion—a quintessential domineering CEO. He'd be amazing if he got fairer skin!
Absolutely amazing.
Later, Dou Shiliu didn't insist that You Wen go out; he simply went to the academy with Mu Shaoyi.
Do you like my younger brother?
Mu Shaoyi was taken aback at first, then blushed and stammered, "You... You Ran... what are you talking about... how could I like your brother..."
A little shy and a little embarrassed
