Chapter 37

Xu Bin held the panties under his nose and smelled them with relish. Yao Le’er blushed instantly, snatched the panties, stuffed them into her bag, and scolded him, “Brother-in-law, don’t be so perverted. Why are you smelling my panties?”

“Next time, I hope your brother-in-law will do something even more perverted.”

The younger sister-in-law ran downstairs shyly first, and Xu Bin followed her downstairs laughing.

As she sat down in the chair, happily picking up the beautiful new sandals Xu Bin had bought for her to put on, Xu Bin stepped forward and snatched them away.

“Brother-in-law will put it on you!”

“Alright, Xiao Binzi, serve me.”

As he spoke, Xu Bin sat cross-legged on the ground and placed her delicate little feet on his lap. This time, Yao Le’er was not flustered and stretched out her other foot as well.

A slight ripple ran through my mind, and I suddenly asked, almost without thinking, “Sister, did you ever put shoes on Second Sister?”

When she asked the question, her eyes widened, with a vague, indescribable anticipation, though she didn’t know what she was expecting.

Xu Bin paused for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head: “It shouldn’t be. My sister and I have different schedules.”

So this was the first time she had put shoes on a girl. Although she didn’t know why she should be happy, Yao Le’er was overjoyed.

Xu Bin held her little feet, and Yao Le’er giggled, feeling a little ticklish. Her giggle was quite radiant; although it wasn’t sweet, her baby voice was enough to make one’s bones melt.

Under her slightly surprised and shy gaze, Xu Bin held her delicate feet and kissed them before slowly putting new sandals on her.

She was a little shy in the community, but Xu Bin took her hand in the taxi. Yao Le’er’s gentle smile made her look especially well-behaved.

Before she could even speak, her phone rang. A sweet, childlike voice answered.

“Yao Le’er, you’re so annoying! When are you going to buy a phone? Why do you have to make phone calls instead of using WeChat? Don’t phone calls cost money?”

“I’ll buy it right away, I’m not in a hurry, why are you?”

As Yao Le’er spoke, she cautiously peeked at Xu Bin, and was a little puzzled to see that Xu Bin looked completely dumbfounded.

“Let me ask. I’m with my…brother-in-law.”

Covering her phone, Yao Le’er turned around a little shyly and said, “Brother-in-law, my best friend wants to hang out with me. Can I bring her along?”

“Ah, sure!”

Xu Bin came to his senses.

Yao Le’er cheered and immediately said into the phone, “Come over to Walmart by taxi. My brother-in-law is treating us to something nice to eat later.”

“Brother-in-law is so great, I love you to death.”

“Jiaojiao is my best sister.”

Yao Le’er was happy to see him. Xu Bin smiled gently and this time, instead of holding her hand, he put his arm around her. Yao Le’er was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head obediently and shyly, letting her brother-in-law hold her.

Xu Bin’s mind was in turmoil; he felt his intelligence had been challenged like never before.

Despite my best efforts, the system failed to activate the task. But just now, when Yao Le’er’s classmate called, the system’s cold voice suddenly appeared in my mind:

“Ding… The ‘Baby-faced Big-breasted Sister-in-law’ quest has been activated. The ‘Baby-faced Big-breasted Sister-in-law’ quest is being generated.”

How the hell is this triggered? I’ve been flirting with her for two days and nothing’s happened, so why does it trigger as soon as her classmate calls?

The key is still being generated, but they haven’t said how long it will take. I hope it won’t take forever.

Xu Bin was getting a little irritated. It was like hooking up with someone; you were happy when you successfully hooked up, but you would feel anxious while waiting for the other person to arrive because you didn’t know if it was a real person or a ghost.

The midday sun was blazing, but Yao Le’er was happily drinking juice in a cold drink shop inside the mall.

At this moment, she was a little dazed, thinking that the watermelon juice at the school gate cost six yuan a cup, and the cherry juice here cost 58 yuan a cup. This was too extravagant. Anyway, she would definitely not spend this much money when she came out.

While thinking about it, Yao Le’er couldn’t help but secretly glance over again.

Across from her, Xu Bin was fiddling with his phone, looking very serious. She didn’t dare to disturb him, because she had heard her second sister say that her brother-in-law never played games, so he must be working.

He looks quite handsome when he’s working hard…

Xu Bin stared intently at the screen because the system seemed somewhat dissatisfied and was taunting him—or rather, tempting him.

The apps on his phone were beyond Xu Bin’s control, and the data usage was so fast that it took less than a blink of an eye. The constant opening of unfamiliar apps completely broadened Xu Bin’s horizons.

The data on blockchain mining rewards, blockchain virtual currency contracts, stock markets around the world, various buy and sell contracts for futures, and even foreign exchange data is dazzling.

The revenue from novel copyrights, screenplays, including film and television copyrights, and various patents—most of it is in English, which Xu Bin can’t understand.

But without exception, all of these accounts were opened in Xu Bin’s name, which can be considered a real eye-opener for Xu Bin.

“Sleeping Bitcoin, sleeping Ethereum, sleeping stock accounts, sleeping account balances.”

“Due to various reasons, including death, more than 5% of the total financial volume is dormant, and nearly 10% of the total savings volume has been forgotten.”

“The enormous amount of dormant capital can be activated at will without affecting the total amount of money and finance in the world.”

“Even if another system were to arrive, it would be unable to detect it, let alone ordinary humans.”

Looking at the messages in his phone’s chat box, Xu Bin knew that the system was angry because he kept complaining about it.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Bin typed in the chat: “It’s inconvenient to kneel down for you, I admit I was wrong, but what’s with this task for my sister-in-law?”

“Ding… The ‘Baby-faced, Big-breasted Sister-in-law’ quest is being generated.”

The system doesn’t want to respond to you at all, and Xu Bin is quite helpless.

Thinking that this system was quite arrogant, it showed off its strength and then quieted down again. However, there was one moment in the world full of code that Xu Bin remembered.

There are so many different elements that it requires the collection and analysis of big data, which involves global big data, so it was very slow at first.

“Brother-in-law, what’s wrong?”

Seeing Xu Bin sigh deeply before putting down his phone, Yao Le’er finally dared to ask a question.

Xu Bin chuckled and said, “It’s nothing, just work-related. Just ignore it.”

“Brother-in-law, aren’t you going to have something to drink?”

Yao Le’er asked a question with a flushed face.

After coming in, she ordered two cherry juices, one for her classmate. Xu Bin didn’t buy anything and just sat there fiddling with his phone.

Seeing her slightly shy expression, Xu Bin continued to tease her, “No, brother-in-law isn’t used to drinking these. As long as you like them, baby.”

Yao Le’er suddenly felt a little dazed, as if she had blended in with the sophisticated and fashionable young people here, and her words here did not seem out of place at all.

However, it was a bit strange that my brother-in-law was dressed so simply and plainly. My mother had said that my second sister and he both dressed in a very old-fashioned way.

I used to say I was broke, but now I see I am. It’s just that I’m reluctant to spend money on myself.

She bought a bracelet for her mother and sister that cost tens of thousands of yuan, and it was the most expensive kind. She didn’t even blink when she took me shopping for clothes and out to eat that day.

Despite being so harsh on herself, Yao Le’er’s eyes softened, and she suddenly grabbed Xu Bin’s hand and said, “Brother-in-law, I… I only have a little over a hundred yuan left. How about I buy you some clothes later?”

These words surprised Xu Bin. Looking at his sister-in-law’s affectionate eyes and then at the attire of the people around her, he knew what she was thinking.

Xu Bin joked, “My darling thinks I’m unfashionable!”
