Chapter 85 A Winning Hand with a Mahjong Card - The Second Child Calls Out "Brother"
A rectangular, dark black desk sits with two chairs placed at an angle. Sunlight streams in through the window, casting long halos of light on the desk. A gentle breeze rustles the white gauze curtains, and the wide-open window allows the constant rustling of bamboo outside.
Xu Zhiyu started reading comics out of boredom, but she found herself getting more and more engrossed. Every now and then she would cover her face and giggle, her cheeks and ears turning bright red.
After finishing her practice questions, Xingmian had no desire to study anymore. At first, she would only look up at her sister every now and then when she heard her laughter, but now her eyes were fixed on her.
He rested his chin on his hands, tilted his head slightly, and gazed at the sweet smile of his beloved girl, his own lips involuntarily curving upwards as well.
It would be nice if time could just stand still at this moment.
He thought.
Xu Zhiyu's heart pounded as she engrossed in reading the comics. The book depicted:
Secretary Yu: Boss, this really isn't appropriate to do in the break room...
[Nangong Xiu: Woman, you used the same excuse to escape last time, but I will never let go this time!]
With a "rip," the secretary's skirt was torn.
Upon seeing this, Xu Zhiyu blushed, her heart raced, and her brain exclaimed in delight: "My god! What's with this level of explicitness?! Is Xiao Qing really that versatile and capable? How could she even get her hands on a book like this?"
Aaaaaaah!
Is it really time for that soon?
Just as she was intently and expectantly turning to the next page—
A warm, husky voice suddenly rang in her ears: "What are you looking at so excitedly, sister?"
"Ah!" she cried out reflexively, clutching her chest.
Turning her head, she saw that Xingmian had somehow gotten behind her!
Xu Zhiyu hurriedly closed the comic book, gripping it tightly with both hands, and glared at it fiercely, saying, "What are you doing? Instead of studying properly, you're sneaking around peeking at my book! What's so interesting about it? This is a book for adults! Kids like you shouldn't be reading it!"
Lin Xingmian's lips curled into a smile: "What should I do, sister? I'm an adult now."
Xu Zhiyu: "..."
"Then...you can't watch either!"
She piled all four books she had brought together, pulled them into her arms to cover them up, and resolutely refused to let anyone see them.
Seeing how she was protecting the book, Lin Xingmian smirked and pretended to say, "Fine, then I won't look at it. I'll go out and ask Abing to get me some drinks..."
After saying that, he turned and walked out.
Xu Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief after feeling the warmth behind her leave.
However, in the instant she relaxed, Lin Xingmian turned around with a "whoosh" and snatched the book she had just been reading!
Xu Zhiyu jumped up in surprise: "Hey! Hey! Hey! You liar! You lied to me again!"
She stood on tiptoe to grab it—how awful! Xingmian has grown taller again!
He straightened his back, held the book high, and leisurely flipped through it, saying mischievously, "Come on, let me see what wonderful book is making my sister so happy..."
After saying that, he casually flipped to a page and loudly read, "President, your abs are really hard?"
Lin Xingmian: "?"
Xu Zhiyu was utterly humiliated upon hearing this. She panicked and tried to cover the brat's mouth.
Xu Zhiyu: "Please don't read it out loud! I'm begging you! Give me some face!"
When Ms. Xu worked at the supermarket, she always made sure to ventilate the rooms. She was very sensitive to stuffiness, so the first thing she did when she needed to stay indoors for an extended period was to open the windows and doors wide to ventilate the room.
The servants outside the door were all listening to the lines that Young Master Lin loudly recited, and they laughed openly.
She felt extremely ashamed, and instinctively felt her ears throbbing and burning.
Lin Xingmian was a little unhappy after reading the previous sentence, so he read it again: "President, your forearms are so strong~ You are simply too mighty and masculine?"
Lin Xingmian: "???"
He exclaimed in disbelief, "Xu Zhiyu, so this is the kind of man you like?"
Mr. Xu wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground; he was truly speechless at his living father!
She really wanted to cover his pretty little mouth with cement!
Xu Zhiyu jumped around but couldn't snatch it from him, so she simply gave up, put her hands on her hips, and put on a stern face: "Lin Xingmian, haven't you made enough of a scene?"
She glanced guiltily at the door, then held out one hand: "Give it back to me."
Xingmian grabbed her outstretched little hand and pulled it into her arms, pressing her palm against her stomach, and said sourly, "I have one too."
In an instant, Ah Yu's face turned bright red.
She felt as if she had touched a burning, red-hot piece of coal in her palm! She quickly pulled her hand back, feeling burned!
Aaaaaaahh ...
This is insane!
With so many people watching outside, they're shameless!
This is toxic!! I can't stand him!!!
Xu Zhiyu screamed, then stumbled to the table, grabbed her stack of books, and rushed out the door!
She roared, "You brat! Study by yourself, I'm not going to study with you! Hmph!!!"
Unexpectedly, just as she reached the door, the people outside saw a yellow figure dart out of the young master's door on the second floor, and then disappear again!
Ah Yu felt someone grab her by the throat from behind, and a strong force pulled her back!
Then—"Bang!"
The door was closed.
Lin Xingmian wrapped her arms around her sister's neck from behind, leaned forward, and pressed her tightly against the door.
He stood with his legs forward, the cute tutu skirt was deformed by the pressure, Ah Yu's cheeks were pressed against the cold door, but his back was pressed against the scalding hot door.
"Thump, thump, thump..." It was her exaggerated heartbeat again.
Her legs went weak with nervousness, and she tried to coax him gently: "I...I'm going to the restroom...please...please let me go, I'll come back later?"
Lin Xingmian didn't even blink: "Sister, there's a bathroom in my room."
Ah Yu closed her eyes in annoyance. How could she have forgotten about this?
So she changed her excuse again: "I'm a little hungry. You know I usually have a sweet tooth and want to have some snacks in the afternoon. I'll go to the kitchen to look for some..."
Lin Xingmian: "What would you like to eat? I'll have them bring it in."
Xu Zhiyu: "..."
"I'm going out for a walk. This place is so big, and there's a park I'd like to visit. My mom said she wants to see some pictures of it..."
Lin Xingmian: "I remember that you went out every day these past few days, visiting three or four gardens a day. Today you should have finished visiting the last three gardens."
His voice was sticky and close: "Sister, I know everything about you, so stop trying to get any funny ideas out of your head."
Xu Zhiyu deflated, her strength waning, and slumped against the door: "Then tell me, what do you want in return for letting me go?"
Lin Xingmian's eyes were unreadable as she said, "I'm not happy that my sister is looking at other men."
"?" Xu Zhiyu was incredulous. "Are you kidding me? That's just a comic book! What other men? You're making it sound like I'm some kind of lewd woman..."
He: "Aren't you one?"
Xu Zhiyu: "Where am I??"
Lin Xingmian: "The way you looked while reading just now... you looked like a pervert..."
Xu Zhiyu: "..."
"Okay! Stop! Alright, alright, let's not talk about what happened earlier. Just tell me what I can do for you to let me go? What can make you happy and go back to your studies obediently?"
He stared at her for a long time, but he couldn't resist burying his head in his sister's neck and taking a deep breath.
It was the damp fragrance of light sweat dried by the wind, mixed with her unique body scent.
Lin Xingmian licked her lips, her voice noticeably different from before, hoarse and strained.
"Not an unreasonable condition."
"Call me 'brother' and I'll let you out."
Xu Zhiyu: "??????"
"??????"
. . . . .no……
Xu Zhiyu: "? Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
"impossible!"
"You can't even shout a little bit!"
"I won't call out!"
Lin Xingmian: "It's fine if you don't call."
After saying that, he grasped her wrist, his eyes gradually becoming hazy, and leaned close to Xu Zhiyu's earlobe.
"Hmph, I refuse to believe I can't break free from you today!" The rebellious Boss Xu couldn't accept the brat's excessive demands and decided to conquer him with his own powerful strength!
She twisted and turned, baring her teeth, her delicate white hands clenched into fists, trying her best to break free!
"Hiss!" A cringeworthy line from Meng Ziyu and the others' usual outbursts in the supermarket suddenly popped into her head, and without thinking, she blurted it out:
"Watch me! I'll shatter the darkness with the power of thunder!!!"
"Pfft." Xingmian, who was originally immersed in her feelings, couldn't help but laugh. As a result, she loosened her grip a little, giving Xu Zhiyu an opportunity!
Seizing the opportunity, she whirled around and shoved the person in front of her away—
Xingmian deliberately took a step back to cooperate with her. Ayu thought she had succeeded and smiled smugly. Just as she was about to run away, she didn't expect that this person would quickly press up again!
This time, the two faced each other. Xingmian pressed her against the door, wrapped one arm around her waist, and slid the other arm down... "Click," the door was locked.
He likes to be close to his older sister.
However, we're not close enough yet.
He loved seeing her blush and bewildered, loved seeing her helpless and frustrated because of him, loved the feeling of being restrained, loved seeing her struggle only to find that she still had to give in to him.
So Lin Xingmian said, "Just say the word, and I promise I'll let you go."
Ah Yu sighed deeply.
She looked left and right, and from here she could only see the gardener working outside the window; the servants in the corridor outside the door could not see into the house.
Her face turned bright red, not because Xingmian made her call him that, but because the two of them were separated by clothes and could clearly feel each other's temperature. To be honest, she already knew that Xingmian had abs, and after the two of them hugged each other back and forth before, she wouldn't be so numb as to not be able to feel it.
The reason she blushed this time was because she felt some muscle texture.
Some.
Not one.
She made a final attempt to resist: "I'm tired of playing with you. Okay, okay, I'm serious. Let me go. I need to go out for a bit. I'm done playing."
Lin Xingmian's eyes welled up with tears, sparkling brightly.
His tone was almost pleading: "I'm not kidding you, just call one and I'll release it right away."
Xu Zhiyu kept her mouth shut and shook her head: "..."
Lin Xingmian: "Give me a shout."
"..."
He said, "Sister...can you call me that?"
