"Great, my good brother! You have no idea how boring it is for me to live alone in such a big house. It'll be so much more fun with you here. We can play games together, watch movies together, and so on..."
Su Luo's smile gradually froze, and Ye Xiaotian started talking non-stop again.
I'm getting annoyed and want to shut him up.
But the thought that he would still nag if I moved in made me decide to let him talk and get used to it beforehand.
Just as Ye Xiaotian was speaking fluently, the door creaked open.
The visitor was Ye Xiaoman, carrying a gift box. She walked into the room and casually placed the box on the bedside table.
Seeing her younger brother beaming with joy, she frowned and asked.
"What's wrong? You seem so happy. I could hear you chattering away in the hallway."
Ye Xiaotian said excitedly, "Sister, Brother Luo said that after he is discharged from the hospital, he will move in with me."
Ye Xiaoman was stunned: "?!?!"
Damn it, she wanted Su Luo to move in with her, but her brother beat her to it.
Suppressing my displeasure, I restrained myself from asking.
Which house do you live in now?
"The one from the Mulan Mansion."
Ye Xiaotian had a vague sense of unease. Why was his sister asking him where he lived? She had never meddled in such matters before.
Could it be because she's going to live with Su Luo, and her sister has feelings for Su Luo?
No way, aren't my sister and Song Lingshan good friends?
Ye Xiaoman nodded nonchalantly and changed the subject.
"Is Elizabeth still with you?"
Elizabeth is Ye Xiaoman's beloved dog. After she got her from her parents, she left her with her younger brother to take care of her.
"Yes, I'm here. Take good care of me. If I lose weight, I won't let you off the hook."
Ye Xiaotian was speechless.
"No, sis, didn't you say you're not leaving for the time being this time? You can take care of it yourself, why do you need me to take care of it for you?"
"If I tell you to support them, then support them. Stop talking nonsense."
Ye Xiaoman had originally planned to bring Elizabeth to her place later, but then she suddenly thought that if she left Elizabeth with her younger brother, she would have an excuse to go to her brother's place, and also see Su Luo and get closer to him. Why not?
Thinking of this, she suddenly realized with sadness that she had also used her pet snake to maintain a relationship with Su Luo last time, but Su Luo ended up killing the snake.
This time, she even had to use her beloved dog Elizabeth. How frustrating!
No, she couldn't let herself be wronged like this again. Once Su Luo was discharged from the hospital and moved to her brother's house, she had to move there too, no reason needed.
Ye Xiaotian was furious but dared not speak out, pursing her lips tightly. There was nothing she could do, since her mother was born more than a year earlier than her.
Bloodline suppression is unsolvable and cannot be resisted.
Su Luo, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't help but speak up and asked in a low voice.
"Who is Elizabeth?"
She remembered it was a queen's name, but Ye Xiaoman's tone suggested it was a pet. She wondered what kind of pet had such a domineering name.
Thinking of the pet snake Ye Xiaoman had asked him to keep last time, and then of Song Lingshan's little leopard Nine-Lama, I wondered if she would get some strange and dangerous pet this time.
He was going to move into Ye Xiaotian's house after being discharged from the hospital, and he would be spending every day with Elizabeth, whom she mentioned.
Ye Xiaoman smiled and explained to Su Luo.
"It's a pure black French Bulldog, don't worry, it doesn't bite and is very obedient."
Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."
He quite likes dogs, especially short-haired, not-so-intelligent, muscular, whiny ones.
Just then, Ye Xiaotian's phone rang. Seeing the caller's expression change drastically, he immediately got up and ran to the corridor to answer the call.
Only Ye Xiaoman and Su Luo remained in the ward.
Ye Xiaoman moved a chair to Su Luo's bedside and casually opened the gift box she had just brought on the bedside table. Inside the box was a complete set of collector's edition comic books.
Su Luo's eyes lit up instantly when he saw the comic book. He used to love reading comics when he was in school, but he hasn't read them much in recent years due to work pressure.
Song Lingshan bought him a lot of comic books to keep him occupied after she released him from the basement and put him in the second bedroom, to prevent him from going crazy and becoming depressed.
He was bored during his two weeks in the hospital when Ye Xiaoman bought him a movie, a series he really wanted to watch and which was very hard to find: Berserk.
Ye Xiaoman took out the first volume and handed it to him, smiling.
"Here, tell me after you've finished reading. Tell me anytime you want something."
Perhaps it was because she had a soft spot for Ye Xiaoman after receiving her favorite comic, but Su Luo thought Ye Xiaoman looked incredibly beautiful at that moment.
Even without makeup, her thick, jet-black hair, reaching just to her chin, was perfectly proportioned, making her angular, somewhat heroic face exceptionally captivating.
Those sharp phoenix eyes had deep pupils and long, curled eyelashes; when they smiled, it was as if their whole being was sparkling.
She was wearing a black turtleneck sweater, which looked great on her.
No, I can't look. He's decided to cut off all romantic relationships and will never fall for anyone again.
Su Luo looked away from her, took the comic book, and said softly.
"Thanks."
Ye Xiaoman naturally noticed that Su Luo's gaze towards her was a bit strange, lingering for too long, and teased her about it.
"Why are you afraid to look at me? Do you think I'm too good-looking?"
If Su Luo had heard this before, she would have blushed and vehemently refuted it.
But things are different now; Su Luo has already died once.
So, Su Luo closed the comic book and immediately looked up.
He stared unflinchingly into her slightly flirtatious eyes, a wicked smile playing on his lips.
"Yes, you're so beautiful, it makes me want to overthink things."
Since there's no way to avoid it, then face it head-on. True warriors never choose to back down, but always forge ahead.
"?!!"
Ye Xiaoman's eyes widened suddenly. Had she misheard or misseen?
How could Su Luo admit it so readily? She had teased Su Luo before, and back then he would always blush and be at a loss, like a virgin who had never been in a relationship.
How come he's changed so much in just a few months? Not only is he no longer blushing, but he's also learned to fight back and is teasing her in return.
However, she didn't dislike this feeling; in her innocent nature, she liked it, and the ability to retaliate had a unique charm.
Since that's the case, she can't show weakness.
With one hand supporting him on the bed, he leaned down and got very close to Su Luo, their noses almost touching.
Her other hand gently pressed against his chest.
Her eyelashes drooped slightly as she stared at his pink lips, her voice deep and alluring.
"What are you thinking about? Tell me."
"?!?!"
Su Luo never expected Ye Xiaoman to be so bold as to directly press down on him.
So close to me, I could smell her faint lavender perfume and a hint of mint tobacco.
