The sound of running water came from the bathroom. An Yi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Jin He's live stream feedback from today, with an earphone in his ear listening to music. Not long after, he felt the bed next to him sink in. He looked up and saw Jin He sitting on the bed, his hair still wet from the shower, staring at him. When he saw An Yi looking over, Jin He leaned forward and gave him a quick kiss on the corner of his mouth.
An Yi: "..."
He swallowed hard and took a half step back: "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing." Jin He leaned forward again and smiled, "I've finished showering."
"Not now."
"But I've already been discharged from the hospital."
"That won't work either."
"I'm all better now, what can't I do? Are you scared?"
"What am I afraid of? I'm afraid you might accidentally bend over. Sit still, I'll dry your hair for you."
“But I don’t want to blow-dry my hair.” Jin He reached out and pulled An Yi back. “It’s okay, I’ll be careful. Or, how about we set a safe keyword…?”
Jin He leaned closer and whispered a few words in An Yi's ear. An Yi looked at him, and his face instantly turned bright red.
The next morning, an unexpected guest arrived at the house. Aunt Shu busied herself making tea for Mr. An, who had come from afar, while Anxi sat on the sofa and looked around the room.
An Yi yawned as he came downstairs and saw his older sister sitting in the middle of the sofa like a Buddha, with her arms crossed and her legs crossed, her delicate high heels tapping the ground lightly.
An Yi: "..."
"Why are you wearing high heels to my house?"
Anxi: "???"
She hadn't expected her brother's first words to come from such an unexpected angle: "What's wrong with wearing high heels?"
"It's too loud and it's disturbing Jinhe's sleep."
Anxi: "..."
With a dark expression, she took off her high heels and kicked them under the coffee table. At this moment, An Yi took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet and placed them next to her feet. Then, yawning, he went to the kitchen to prepare food.
"He's still not awake?"
"Yes, I was too rough last night and now I have a slight fever. I asked Aunt Shu to take some medicine in. If it doesn't get better, I'll have to call the doctor."
"Wow, really? She just got discharged from the hospital and she's so small. You're such a beast."
"I didn't even use much force!" An Yi was still a little annoyed when he brought it up. "I just wanted to make him feel comfortable, but he fell asleep right after he was done! I! Spent two hours in the bathroom! Two hours! With his build, how could I dare to eat big bites!"
In truth, Jin He was probably quite wronged, because his original intention was to let An Yi, who had been holding it in for so long, vent his frustrations, but he didn't expect...
He overestimated himself.
Even before An Yi's side had started, he was already on the verge of collapse, acting like a scumbag who started a fire but wasn't responsible for putting it out.
"..." Anxi looked at her younger brother for a long time without saying a word, then patted his shoulder helplessly, "You've been wronged too."
Have you had breakfast?
"No, I just had a cup of coffee."
So President An received a pot of congee cooked by his own younger brother, which was said to have been simmering for a long time—last night after Jin He fell asleep, someone reluctantly came to the kitchen to rinse the rice and soak the beans.
Mr. An was very curious as it was the first time in his life that he had eaten porridge cooked by his younger brother. He stirred it a couple of times with a spoon, then picked it up and smelled it... It really was food!
Is it edible?
It smells quite nice.
"Let's go to work after breakfast."
"Hey!" Anxi raised her eyebrows. "You think I came all this way just to eat a bowl of your porridge? I came to see Xiaohe. My parents told me to come and see how you've taken care of her."
"How much better can she be raised? Xiao He is doing very well here with me, and she has even gained a few pounds recently."
"I'll wait until everyone wakes up before I leave. Honestly, I'm the one managing all the family business now, and you're just a hands-off boss. I just flew back from abroad yesterday, and I'm still jet-lagged, but I came straight here. And you're already trying to send me to work? What good will it do you if you work your older sister to death?"
Anxi only complained a couple of times, but An Yi was particularly sensitive to the words "exhausted," and almost instantly raised his head, saying, "You just got back from a business trip?"
"yes."
Anxi ate her porridge with gusto, while An Yi looked her up and down: her hair was smooth and neatly styled, her clothes were wrinkle-free, and even her manicure looked fresh, fitting perfectly to her nails. Despite being thirty years old, she looked very young, and it was clear that she took great care of her skin.
Apart from a slight bluish tinge under his eyes, there's not a trace of him staying up late.
Don't you need to sleep?
"Everyone needs to sleep, right? Everyone gets sleepy!" Anxi glared at him. "I just came to see me..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door upstairs was opened. An Yi turned around very quickly and saw Jin He coming downstairs, rubbing his sleepy eyes. He had a huge fever patch on his forehead, and his hair was sticking up messily on his head. He was not feeling well, and his face looked even paler, frighteningly pale, like a little vampire.
"An Yi..." Jin He's voice trailed off as soon as she opened her mouth, "cough cough... why didn't you wake me up?"
Anxi stared wide-eyed as the little snowman shakily descended the stairs. Her younger brother, who had been standing peacefully beside her, had somehow teleported to Jin He's side in a flash. Anxi reached out and steadied him, saying, "Why did you come down? Aren't you going to sleep a little longer? You have a bit of a fever..."
"Oh...cough cough cough...I'm hungry."
"If you're hungry, just ask Aunt Shu to bring your food up." An Yi helped Jin He to the table like an empress dowager. An Qian's mouth opened even wider, while Jin He, still half asleep, seemed not to have noticed that there was someone else next to her. She just mumbled to herself, "I want to sit down and eat by myself."
An Yi placed the porridge in front of Jin He and casually touched his neck. It was still slightly hot, but fortunately his heart rate was normal. So he told him to finish his meal and go back to rest.
It was only then that Jin He noticed the beautiful woman sitting next to him. Her eyes darted around, quickly and subtly scanning the woman from head to toe. Before her brain could even make a judgment, her subconscious urged her to speak: "Good morning, beautiful lady. You look so young. I've never heard that An Yi has a younger sister. He does have an older sister, though. Could it be you?"
With just one sentence, even the battle-hardened Anxi felt overjoyed: "Good morning, I'm An Yi's older sister."
