Chapter 110 The White-Cut Black-Hearted Younger Brother 10
The morning sunlight shone into the room, and Xu Qiuqiu squinted as she slowly woke up.
She found herself lying on a familiar bed. She felt an arm around her waist, someone pressing their forehead against hers, and warm breath on her face. Her gaze met a pale neck and a sexy Adam's apple.
Her mind suddenly exploded.
What's going on here?!
Didn't she sleep on the sofa last night?
She actually slept in the same bed as Ah Chen!
The lingering scent of his shower gel made her feel dizzy, and she reached out to try and move his hand away from her.
The moment she touched his hand, he grabbed it back, his hoarse voice murmuring as if in a daze, "Sister...don't send me away..."
The boy's fragile voice softened Xu Qiuqiu's heart. She slowly moved away and saw that he was indeed asleep with his eyes closed.
I just don't know why he was holding her hand tightly under the blanket, as if he was terrified that she would leave.
Suddenly, Xiao Yichen moved, bringing his head closer and stopping a few centimeters away from her, touching her forehead.
If he hadn't kept his eyes closed, Xu Qiuqiu would have thought he was doing it on purpose. Now his breath was almost touching hers, and if she got any closer, her lips would be able to touch his face.
The light shone on his delicate eyebrows and eyes. He looked completely unguarded, and Xu Qiuqiu felt an inexplicable urge to reach out and touch his face.
Just as the thought crossed her mind, she remembered that he had grabbed her hand. Her reason returned instantly. No, no, Ah Chen is still young.
Although Xu Qiuqiu didn't have the heart to wake him, she didn't want to stay in this position and lie with him. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, her hand was released.
The boy who had been pressing his forehead against hers slowly opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Sister... good morning."
Xiao Yichen, who had just woken up, had misty eyes. He looked innocent and endearing. He kept a little distance from her and looked at her with a naive expression.
Xu Qiuqiu wasn't as calm as him; the atmosphere made her feel awkward, so she could only awkwardly say, "Good morning..."
Before she could ask, Xiao Yichen spoke first: "Sister, last night..."
He seemed to remember something, and his face instantly turned red. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Last night, my sister suddenly walked into the room, lay down, and wouldn't let go of Ah Chen..."
Xu Qiuqiu: "..."
Did she sleepwalk back?
At this point, the boy's face turned even redder, his eyes darting around yet filled with joy as he asked her for confirmation, "Sister hugged Achen, and Achen was very happy. Does that mean that sister likes Achen and doesn't dislike him, right?"
Looking at him with such joy and anticipation, Xu Qiuqiu was momentarily stunned. She nodded and followed his words, saying, "Yes, I like Achen, and I don't dislike Achen."
Hearing her words, Xiao Yichen's eyes seemed to hold a lot of emotions. The corners of his mouth turned up, but his voice became a little hoarse, as if he were announcing a promise or vow: "Achen also likes sister, especially likes her very much."
Although he knew that the "like" his sister spoke of wasn't that kind of "like," he still felt incredibly satisfied to hear her say it in person, so satisfied that his heart raced.
It gave him a sense of hope, and he even thought that his sister might fall for him...
[Ding! The female lead's happiness level has increased by 10%. Her current happiness level is 10%.]
Hearing his voice suddenly become more mature, unlike his previous clear, boyish voice, Xu Qiuqiu's ears suddenly started to burn, as if he had suddenly transformed from a boy into a man.
But when she looked up again, he seemed to have turned back into his obedient younger brother.
However, she didn't dwell on it too much and got out of bed.
Seeing this, Xiao Yichen also got out of bed, acting particularly clingy, following her like a little tail.
After washing up, Xiao Yichen changed back into yesterday's clothes, sat on the sofa, and asked obediently, "Sister, can I borrow your phone for a moment? My phone is dead. I thought about it, and I was too willful last night, suddenly leaving home. Mom must be worried about me. I want to call her to let her know I'm safe."
Xu Qiuqiu had originally intended to bring this up as well, but when he suddenly brought it up, she handed him her phone without any suspicion and even thoughtfully told him the lock screen password.
After taking the phone, Xiao Yichen went to the bathroom, turned on the tap, and installed an app on her phone. Once installed, he hid it and then made a call back under cover, telling Yang Wan that he was going to do a fabric experiment with a classmate for the next two days and would probably stay at her house instead of going home.
Yang Wan didn't say much to warn him to be careful, because although Xiao Yichen had always been well-behaved, he would become a different person as soon as she dared to restrain him. He would no longer be her obedient son, but would have a cold and scary look in his eyes. So she both loved and feared this son.
After leaving a call record, he felt he had covered his tracks perfectly and then walked out of the bathroom.
He saw Xu Qiuqiu sitting elegantly on the sofa. Her profile was beautiful in the light, stunning and captivating, making one yearn for her.
Unbeknownst to him, Xu Qiuqiu was currently conversing with 003 in her sea of consciousness.
After staying home for almost five days, Xu Qiuqiu finally got bored and decided to start looking for a job.
"003, are there any jobs nearby that are close to this apartment?"
003 asked obediently, "What kind of job is the host looking for?"
"Naturally, it's a seven-hour workday, no overtime, high salary, weekends off, and five social insurances and one housing fund."
“Host…” 003 hesitated upon hearing the request, “It seems that most jobs these days are easy with low pay, while overtime pay is high. There are very few that meet the host’s requirements, and it’s even harder to find a match if it’s close to the apartment…”
Xu Qiuqiu also felt that it was a bit unreasonable. She thought for a moment and said, "How about living closer to the apartment, making things easier, with weekends off, and accepting a lower salary?"
"Understood, host. I will help you find suitable jobs!"
"elder sister…"
Just after she finished speaking with 003, Xiao Yichen stood in front of her and handed her his phone.
"Ah Chen, are you done?" Xu Qiuqiu took the phone. "Did Aunt Yang blame you?"
"No." Xiao Yichen shook his head, sat down beside her, and said dejectedly, "Mom isn't blaming me, but she still seems angry..."
Then, looking at her pleadingly, he said, "Sister, I don't want to go home yet. Can I stay one more day?"
Faced with those pleading eyes, Xu Qiuqiu was at a loss. She just couldn't help but soften her heart. She felt that Achen in this world had her completely under his control, making it impossible for her to utter a single word of refusal.
