The Greenery is Getting Thicker

There’s only one day left before N University’s summer vacation starts, and right now I’m lounging on the sofa at home like Ge You.

“Thank you for the gift, ‘Universe World’.” A soft voice came from the phone. The voice was not only melodious but also slightly distracted. On the phone screen, the owner of the soft voice was wearing an apron and cooking. Although she was only wearing an ordinary t-shirt and jeans, her full breasts, even reaching G, and her incredibly pert buttocks gave the ordinary clothes a unique and alluring beauty.

I stared intently at my phone screen. There were nearly a hundred people in the live stream, and many comments. I was watching the scrolling text, my finger tapping something on it.

“Wow, what a figure! Is this beauty married?”

“Hey beautiful, can I come over to your house for a free meal? I just want a free meal, I won’t do anything else~” When I saw this comment, my brows furrowed tightly.

“My sister has an amazing figure!”

“Auntie, turn around and let us see!” I clicked on his nickname and chose to block him.

The comment “Wife, wife~” made me block her without any hesitation.

[These people are really something, using such foul language~] I thought to myself, while my hands kept blocking a private account that commented “busty fat slut”.

[Damn! A bunch of scumbags, I’ll block them all!] I watched my mother, Liu Wanyi, cooking on the screen, and my hands moved even faster.

“Ah? This, thank you ‘Lanlanlan’ for… two Douyin No. 1s~” Mom seemed to hear the sound effect of the gift being sent, then turned around to look at her phone, thanking the user of “Lanlanlan’s” level 30 fan club with a slightly reproachful tone. A stunningly beautiful face appeared on the screen, a strand of hair stuck to her fair skin by sweat, giving Mom an elegant and virtuous air, causing the comments on the screen to scroll wildly once again.

Wow, it’s so beautiful!

“Does your sister look like she’s in her thirties?”

“Can we follow each other, beautiful?”

I was speechless again. Oh well, I’ve blocked dozens of people already, so I’ll just leave it at that. I clicked on my mother’s profile picture and went to her homepage.

My mother’s profile picture is a white lotus flower. It seems that people of her generation liked this kind of profile picture. “Wanwan Yiren” is the name of my mother’s account. The background of the homepage is a photo of my father Lin Bowen, my mother Liu Wanyi, my sister Lin Xuanman and me, a family of four—of course, not showing our faces.

“Gentle as a willow, pleasant as jade, blissful and content, a harmonious family is enough~” This is the self-introduction on all of Mom’s accounts.

The following video updates are mostly my mother’s written reflections, along with some photos where her face isn’t shown. Well, what can I say? After all, before becoming a housewife, my mother was a PhD and an editor for a well-known column.

I randomly clicked on one of the videos. In the video, a mother was sitting by the window watering flowers. Accompanied by quiet and peaceful music, it conveyed a natural and subtle emotion. I pressed “Expand” at the bottom of the screen, and a philosophical text appeared on the screen.

“Those who have corrupted their hearts use their filthy eyes to deny and doubt everything pure, and use false words to lure you into depravity, making you succumb to this temptation. Their goal is to completely defile your purity.”

I was just about to go back to being the administrator of my mom’s live stream when there was a knock on the door.

“Lin Xuanyu, go out and see who’s here.”

My mother called to me from the kitchen.

“We’re back!”

A steady middle-aged male voice and a soft, delicate female voice came from the doorway.

I walked to the door and saw my father and sister coming home. My father put down his briefcase, while my sister, with her slender and delicate body, was carrying her heavy schoolbag.

“You’re back?” Mom asked, peeking out from the kitchen.

“Hmm~” When Dad saw Mom, a smile appeared on his tired face. My sister put down her heavy schoolbag, shook her shoulders, and gave me a gentle smile on her equally tired face.

“Hey~ Don’t come in! I’m live-streaming~” Mom’s voice came from the kitchen. I turned around and saw that Dad had rolled up his sleeves and was about to come into the kitchen to cook with Mom.

“Oh, I was wondering why our son wasn’t helping you out,” Dad said, glancing at me as he spoke.

“Alright, go tidy up the table, the food will be ready soon.” Mom said, pointing to the stir-fried dishes already laid out on the table, then turned and went back to the kitchen.

Before long, a table full of delicious food appeared in front of our family.

“Let’s eat!” Mom, still wearing her apron, sat down next to Dad. The four of them picked up their chopsticks and began a familiar and heartwarming scene.

“Here, eat more!” Mom took the two chicken legs off the stewed chicken, putting one into Dad’s bowl and the other into her little sister’s bowl. The little sister lowered her head and ate slowly and carefully. Dad and Mom turned their heads and looked at each other in tacit understanding, then smiled at the same time.

I feel both happy and painful. I’m happy because my parents are still as loving as ever, but I’m painful because my girlfriend isn’t here right now.

“Did you turn off your live stream?” Dad asked.

“Hmm~ It’s off~” Mom said.

“Maybe… we shouldn’t do the live stream anymore, the internet is a mess,” Dad said after a moment’s hesitation.

“It’s nothing, I was just playing around out of boredom~ Besides, my son is an administrator, he’s always there when I’m streaming.” Mom said nonchalantly, glancing at me as she spoke.

“Okay~” Although Dad was reluctant, he didn’t say anything more.

Seeing this, I was about to say something when I noticed my phone was playing a special notification sound—this was a special sound I had set up for my girlfriend.

I opened my phone and saw a message from someone with a picture of a young, beautiful woman: “My mom and I are coming to your house soon / naughty”.

I put away my phone and said to my mom, “Mom, Aunt Ouyang and Jingyan will be here soon.”

“Hmm?” Mom and Dad both asked softly at the same time.

Mom reacted faster, got up and went to the kitchen to get two more sets of bowls and chopsticks. Just as she put them on the table, the doorbell rang.

I hurried to the door and opened it.

A stunningly beautiful woman, dressed in a casual suit and a tight-fitting pencil skirt, is tossing her long, wavy hair.

A young girl wearing a fitted long dress, carrying a gift, was looking at me with a playful expression as she shook the gift.

My future mother-in-law, Ouyang Lan, and my future wife, Qin Jingyan.

I’ve seen this scene many times, but each time it feels like opening the door to heaven for the first time, with two angels, so different in style but equally beautiful, waiting for me.

“What’s wrong, Xuanyu? Why are you stunned?” Aunt Ouyang posted first. Whenever she saw me, there was always a strange look in her eyes.

“Ah? Ah! Aunt Ouyang, and Jingyan, come in quickly, come in quickly.” I hurriedly made way for her at the door.

“Lanlan, Jingyan~” her mother called out from behind.

The two girls took their seats very familiarly. Aunt Ouyang sat between Mom and her younger sister, and the younger sister skillfully gave up her and her brother’s seats so that Qin Jingyan could sit next to me. Although there were more people, there was still plenty of space at the table, but Qin Jingyan sat very close to me.

“Why are you two here today? Where’s Qin Bin?” Dad asked.

“He’s out busy again,” Aunt Ouyang said, picking up a piece of meat and eating it. Her happy expression faltered slightly.

“Look at you, you just sat down and you didn’t even let her eat something first.” Mom noticed Aunt Ouyang’s change and turned to pinch Dad.

“It’s okay, I’m used to it,” Aunt Ouyang said.

“Auntie, have some eggs~” The younger sister put an egg on Aunt Ouyang’s plate.

“Thank you, my darling Manman!” Aunt Ouyang said happily.

“You should eat more too~” I put a piece of meat on Qin Jingyan’s plate as well. Qin Jingyan’s right arm was swinging, and when she reached out to pick up the food, my left elbow accidentally touched the full, soft part of Qin Jingyan’s chest because we were so close. I quickly and nervously shrank back, then looked guiltily at the elders at the table, and then at Qin Jingyan, who acted as if nothing had happened.

“Lanlan, didn’t you go out to play today?” Mom asked.

“No, Jingyan and I were resting at home today, and we were wondering what to eat for lunch when we saw Sister Wanyi cooking on her live stream, so we got ready and came over.” After saying that, Aunt Ouyang looked very dashing, and a slight mischievous smile appeared on her beautiful face with distinct features.

“Oh, I see. By the way, don’t send me any more gifts in the future. The platform takes a lot of your money,” Mom said softly.

“No way~ I have to support your live stream~” Aunt Ouyang said.

“You, you~” Mom smiled and sighed helplessly, then picked up a chicken wing for her.

After a burst of laughter and chatter, all the food on the table was gone.

“Mmm~ Aunt Liu’s cooking is so delicious~” Qin Jingyan said to her mother, rubbing her bulging little belly.

“As long as Jingyan is happy~” Her mother looked at Qin Jingyan with a doting expression.

“Alright, you ladies go and rest. Xuanyu and I will clean up the table,” Dad said.

“Come on, let’s go back to the house~” Mom pulled Aunt Ouyang and led her younger sister and Qin Jingyan back to the bedroom.

My dad and I tidied up the dishes in the kitchen, and my dad said to me, “Go get some fruit from the refrigerator and take it over to them.”

I arranged the grapes, watermelon, and other things in the refrigerator, and then, carrying the plate, I knocked on my mother’s bedroom door.

“What’s wrong?” came Aunt Ouyang’s voice from inside.

“Princesses, please have some fruit after your meal,” I said.

“Come in~” Laughter came from inside.

As soon as I entered, I saw four beautiful women with different styles chatting on the bed. Since it was summer, they were all dressed in light clothing. I brought over some fruit and sat down, my gaze lingering on the beautiful scenery.

“Aunt Liu, I bought you some clothes~” Qin Jingyan took out the things she had brought when she came in, which were several light sun-protective clothes from a certain brand.

“Oh dear, you always do this every time you come.” The mother took the clothes Qin Jingyan handed her, got up from the bed, and was about to try them on.

“Thank you, Aunt Ouyang and Sister Jingyan!” the younger sister said.

“No need, it’s just a coat, I’ll just try it on,” Mom said, putting the coat on and twisting it from side to side. It fit her quite well.

“How is it?” Mom turned to me and asked.

“That’s great~” I looked my mother up and down. My mother is about 165 cm tall. Not only my mother, but all four of the beautiful women he was connected with were over 165 cm tall. Aunt Ouyang was a little taller, about 170 cm, and Jingyan was the tallest, over 170 cm.

When Mom fastened the zipper and pulled it up, she encountered unusually strong resistance at her chest.

“Oh dear~ it seems I’m still not suited to wearing such tight clothes.” Mom twisted her body with some difficulty. When she turned to my side, I saw the purple bodysuit, her chest bulging as if it were about to burst out at any moment.

“Too small? No way, Jingyan wore a slightly looser one in the chest area, and you should have no problem with it. Let me try it again.” Aunt Ouyang took the clothes her mother had taken off and put them on.

“Really, I didn’t expect it to turn out like this. What do you think, Xuanyu?” Aunt Ouyang pulled my mother over to me.

“It’s pretty good, maybe it’s just that Mom’s figure is too outstanding,” I explained. Both Mom and Aunt Ouyang have very sexy figures, but Mom is a voluptuous beauty with a large bust and wide hips, while Aunt Ouyang is slimmer, with smaller hips and smaller breasts than Mom. Mom has a G cup, while Aunt Ouyang has a C cup, but Aunt Ouyang works out regularly and has abs and such.

“Oh, although I misjudged her, Aunt Liu’s figure is really enviable.” Qin Jingyan said to her mother a little shyly after getting off the bus, and then pulled her mother’s arm to lean on it. My gaze shifted to my girlfriend. Her figure was somewhere between my mother’s and Aunt Ouyang’s, both slender and full, with a D-cup bust. Unlike the two beautiful women’s alluring mature aura, Qin Jingyan exuded a sexy youthful charm.

“It’s okay~ I can wear it if Mom can’t~ Just consider it a gift from Sister Jingyan?” said the younger sister, Lin Xuanman. As for the younger sister’s figure, although she was a senior in high school, she was not yet fully developed, delicate and slender, giving people an irresistible urge to protect her.

“Alright, it’s just a piece of clothing.” The mother put it away and gently stroked Qin Jingyan’s dark hair.

The four beauties returned to bed and began chatting while eating fruit.

“Is Xuanman going to tutoring this afternoon?” Aunt Ouyang asked.

“Yes~” my sister said.

“Why don’t you go and rest first?” Mom said.

“Okay, I’ll go now.” The younger sister got up and left her mother’s bedroom.

“I’ll go with you too~” Qin Jingyan got up and left with her sister, giving me a meaningful look before she left.

“What are you waiting for? Go too!” Aunt Ouyang urged me with a mischievous grin.

I got up and left my mother’s bedroom. As soon as I stepped out the door, Qin Jingyan and my sister were no longer there.

“Where’s Bowen? Isn’t he done tidying up yet?” Aunt Ouyang’s voice came from the bedroom. I suddenly stopped and pressed my face against the crack in the door, which wasn’t closed completely, to hear what they were saying.

“You should go to the study for your afternoon nap,” Mom said.

Aunt Ouyang: “He doesn’t object to you doing live streams anymore?”

Mom: “It’s okay. He still has some reservations about me doing the live stream, but I was just doing it for fun out of boredom.”

Aunt Ouyang: “You know, you gave up your position as a senior editor and actually resigned. I remember Xuanyu and his university even wanted to hire you, right?”

Mom: “It’s just work. In my eyes, family is the most important thing. Xuanman is at a crucial stage. You know, her grades are only average to above average. I don’t even know if she can get into the university that Xuanyu and Jingyan are in.”

Aunt Ouyang: “It’s alright. If she doesn’t pass the exam, Qin Bin and I will figure something out. Don’t put too much pressure on her. I feel so sorry for her just looking at her. And you two, you never talk to me or Qin Bin about the child’s affairs.”

Mom: “Okay~ I’ll leave it to you, you big tycoon, then.”

Aunt Ouyang: “Don’t worry, I’ve got it covered.”

Mom: “Is Qin Bin still so busy?”

Aunt Ouyang: “Yes? I thought that once I reached a certain position, I would have a certain amount of freedom, but I didn’t expect that once I reached a certain position, I would have to take on greater responsibilities.”

Mom: “This can’t go on. No matter how busy you are with work, you have to spend time with your family.”

Aunt Ouyang: “If only he had your courage.”

Mother: “After Bowen got promoted at the research institute, I felt that he was aging more and more obviously.”

Mother: “The research institute even offered to provide him with a driver or something, but he refused. However, I still think that it’s better to save yourself some energy if you can.”

Mom: “You should also consider whether you need to hire more staff or something, since we’re not short of money…”

Aunt Ouyang: “Oh, right? How’s things going for you two in that area?” Before Mom could finish speaking, Aunt Ouyang interrupted her.

Mom: “In what way?”

Aunt Ouyang: “Oh, I mean that aspect—in bed!”

Mom: “Honestly, I’m trying to talk to you about something serious, and you’re just going to ramble on about everything. How did you suddenly veer off to that?”

Aunt Ouyang: “How is it? How is it?”

Mom: “It’s…it’s just like that—what else could it be?”

Aunt Ouyang: “Pfft~”

Mom: “Stop laughing! What are you laughing at? Where’s your Qin Bin?”

Aunt Ouyang: “Him? He’s just so-so.”

Mom: “Then why are you making fun of me?”

Aunt Ouyang: “I’m not making fun of you~ I’m telling you, Qin Bin and I are planning to have another one.”

Mom: “Now? Is that okay?”

Aunt Ouyang: “Why not give it a try?”

Mom: “Why? Why did you suddenly have this thought?”

Aunt Ouyang: “Maybe it’s because of too much pressure in life? Or maybe I’m just a little tired? I need something new and interesting to add to my life.”

Mom: “Then…then you’d better keep an eye on him, don’t let those little foxes take advantage of the situation.”

Aunt Ouyang: “Don’t worry~”

“What are you doing?” I was listening intently to my mother and Aunt Ouyang’s conversation when I suddenly heard a woman’s voice behind me.

“Hiss~” I turned my head sharply and saw that it was my girlfriend. I quickly suppressed the urge to make a sound and touched my chest at the same time.

You scared me to death!

“You were eavesdropping!” Qin Jingyan whispered, pointing at me.

“Where’s my sister?” I asked.

“She’s asleep~ Shall we go back to our room?” Qin Jingyan said. She then took my hand and led me back to my bedroom.

As soon as I closed the door, I couldn’t wait to hug my beloved girlfriend.

“Mmm~” Before Qin Jingyan could speak, I silenced her small, soft mouth with my own. In an instant, our two nimble tongues intertwined.

“Mmm~ Buzz~ Hmm~ Hmm~” Jingyan’s breath carried a soft moan as she pressed against my face. Her gentle breath felt like a tingling hand caressing me, sending shivers through my sensitive facial nerves and throughout my body, like an electric shock.

“Thump!”

Even with my eyes closed, I still knew exactly how to pin her down on my bed. The loud thud sounded like the bed frame protesting under the strain.

I lifted her skirt along her thigh, and her beautiful thigh skin did not escape my fondling.

“Ah~ You’re bad~ Don’t touch me~” Jingyan resisted my actions verbally, but her arms wrapped around my neck.

My hands followed her slender yet strong waist, grasping her two incredibly soft breasts. My fingers were slightly spread, and I gently caressed and kneaded Jingyan’s proud breasts, like a stingy person carefully touching his treasured possession.

“Mmm! Ahh~ Ugh~” Jingyan, caught off guard, was like a startled squirrel. She tightened her arms around my neck again, grabbed my shirt from behind with one hand and crumpled it into a ball. With the other hand, she pressed my body against my back. After a few clear and seductive moans, I silenced her with a kiss.

The kiss lasted a long time. Although it was pitch black in front of me, I could still feel the love flowing between us and the desire flowing around us. It was as if a red gauze curtain had formed around my bed, setting off this intimate exchange filled with beautiful love.

“Ha~ Ha~”

“Hmph~ Hmph~”

The only thing that can separate us is physical breathing discomfort.

I straightened up, lowered my head, and looked at the incredibly familiar and endlessly beautiful girl in front of me.

Her long, straight, jet-black hair cascaded down the bed with a casual yet alluring grace, as deep as the night, contrasting with the blushing, shy blush on her cheeks. Her pearly teeth gently bit her lower lip, moistened by the passionate kiss and tinged with an alluring red. Her eyes, shimmering like water, gazed at me with deep affection. Her long, smooth arms stretched out gently, her fingers, like carved white jade, intertwined tenderly around my neck.

I had slipped the straps of her long dress down her smooth shoulders, revealing her flawless swan neck and fragrant shoulders. However, her bra, which I had pushed up, covered a large area of her skin, leaving her chest in a mess. Her large, fragrant breasts, white with red marks, sprang out from under the long dress. The small pink areolas and the already erect pink nipples exuded a unique, erotic aura, as if they might drip some liquid at any moment.

The elegant long skirt had been haphazardly piled on her slender waist. Contrary to my expectations, underneath the skirt wasn’t sexy underwear, but a pair of white, super-short safety shorts, discreetly guarding that unspeakable secret, one that only I could glimpse. Beneath the shorts, her legs, like exquisitely sculpted works of art, stretched out, white and long, as if all the beauty in the world had been concentrated there. In my gaze, those legs gently lifted, gracefully intertwining, like two playful, loving swans, inadvertently wrapping around my waist, carrying a hint of ambiguity, a touch of romance, and an indescribable air of wantonness. In this alluring entanglement, every inch of her skin seemed to whisper, telling of endless tenderness and affection.

In this moment, I felt the blood in my body surge like a rushing river, converging into an uncontrollable passion. It surged impatiently downwards, rushing into my hard lower body, venting its fighting spirit that wanted to charge forward.

“Baby~ I can’t take it anymore~ Let’s make love~” I said urgently, my voice becoming incredibly heavy and filled with uncontrollable panting.

Jingyan loosened her grip on my neck and stroked down my shoulder to my chest.

I couldn’t hold back any longer, so I slipped my fingers inside her safety shorts and started to pull them down.

“Knock knock knock!” The clear and dull knocking interrupted us, a couple who were in the middle of an exciting moment. It was like a bucket of cold water being poured over my brain, extinguishing my desire. I hurriedly got up, and Qin Jingyan also haphazardly straightened her clothes.

“Knock knock knock!” The knocking sounded again.

I stomped my feet heavily, as if I wanted to vent my resentment at having my good show ruined on the heads of the downstairs residents.

“Who is it? — Ah…it’s Aunt Ouyang?”

I opened the door, and a stunningly beautiful woman stood there with her arms crossed. Upon seeing my mother-in-law, I quickly and quietly expelled all my negative emotions through my breath, replacing them with a sincere and refined smile.

“Why did it take you so long to open the door?” Aunt Ouyang said with a smile, but in a slightly strange tone.

“Uh, I didn’t hear you just now—I didn’t hear you~” I don’t even know what I said. I looked at myself and saw that I was fine. Then I looked back at Jingyan and found that she was already dressed and sitting on the edge of the bed, combing her hair with her hands. I breathed a sigh of relief.

“Looks like I’ve come at the wrong time,” Aunt Ouyang said, her tone even more strange.

Before I could answer, Aunt Ouyang walked in. Although she was wearing the same slippers as my mother, she still looked like a model. She sat down next to Jingyan, but deliberately left the middle seat empty.

“Come here, sit down~” Aunt Ouyang waved to me.

I took small steps and sat between the two beauties. Just a moment ago I had been standing tall and proud, but now I hunched my shoulders and looked nervously at Aunt Ouyang next to me.

Wait a minute? This is my room, but why do I feel like I’ve wandered into Aunt Ouyang’s territory?

“Why are you so nervous? You look so upset. Did I do something to upset you, baby?” Aunt Ouyang said to me with a smile. “Baby” is a term Aunt Ouyang often used to call me when I was little. She called me “baby son” and my sister “baby daughter.” But I don’t know when it started, she still called my sister “baby daughter,” but when she called me, she didn’t say the last two words.

“No, why would Auntie scold her own baby?” After thinking about it just now, I felt my brain finally clear up and come back to normal.

“That’s right, Auntie won’t eat you.” Aunt Ouyang pinched my arm and said.

“Pfft~” Jingyan, who was sitting on my other side, covered her mouth and laughed, her face still red.

“Auntie, why did you suddenly come here? Where is my mother?” I asked.

“Your mother went to the study to see what your father was doing, and I came to see if you were bullying our Jingyan,” Aunt Ouyang said, feigning seriousness. I saw her small pen nib pointing at me, as if it were gleaming.

“No, I’d rather spoil you than bully you,” I said.

“Really?” Aunt Ouyang leaned forward, turned her head to look at Jingyan carefully for a moment, and then said, “Yes, she didn’t bully her, but if I had come a little later, she probably would have.”

“Mom~ What are you saying~” Qin Jingyan’s face turned even redder as she pretended to complain.

What can I say? At this point, silence is the best course of action.

“You’re both adults now, so it’s normal for something to happen. As for precautions, don’t worry about them. Mom can get rid of her boring job and do something interesting,” Aunt Ouyang said to us.

“Mom~~ Stop talking~” Qin Jingyan covered her face with her hands, feeling very embarrassed. Then, as if that wasn’t enough, she rested her face on my arm.

I gently stroked Jingyan’s hair.

“What are you saying? What are you saying? Mom is just saying serious things, okay? You know what happened between Mom and your dad. How about we have a competition? Let’s see if Mom will take care of your younger siblings first, or my darling grandson?” Aunt Ouyang saw Jingyan’s shy appearance and started to “go all out”.

“Mom!! Stop talking~” Qin Jingyan ignored her bright red face, suddenly stood up, ran from my side to the side where Aunt Ouyang was, and reached out to cover Aunt Ouyang’s mouth.

“Ah! You naughty girl, let go of Mommy right now~ Mmm!” Aunt Ouyang’s mouth was covered by her daughter, and in the midst of their play, the two of them fell onto my bed. Long, straight black hair and long, wavy hair were slicked across the sheets, creating a strange and beautiful mess.

“Bad mom, you can’t talk nonsense in front of Xuanyu~”

“Ah~ Ha~ You! You won’t let go~ Hahahaha~” Qin Jingyan “ruthlessly” tickled Aunt Ouyang’s ticklish spots, causing this usually serious and strong woman to writhe and beg for mercy on the bed.

Aunt Ouyang is like that. Although she is an elder, she is very approachable in life, just like my close older sister.

I watched the mother and daughter playfully fighting in front of me. They only acted like this in front of me. Especially when it was just the three of us, Aunt Ouyang liked to deliberately “provoke” her daughter.

Although I don’t know why, this kind of beauty is worth protecting with everything I have.

Aunt Ouyang pulled Qin Jingyan to cover her mouth with one hand, while her other hand, which was close to mine, touched mine and held it tightly.

[What is this? Is it asking me for help? Or what?] I wondered to myself, but my body didn’t move an inch.

“Let go of Mommy~ Mommy was wrong~” Aunt Ouyang begged for mercy. Qin Jingyan also let go of her and helped her sit up. After a while, both beauties had rosy cheeks and were slightly panting. A kind of intoxicating fragrance filled the air.

“Hmph!” Qin Jingyan sat down next to me again.

“Smack!”

“Ouch!” Just as my attention was focused on Jingyan, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my other arm.

“Hmph! You little brat, I’ve been calling you my darling for nothing. You see your aunt being bullied like this and you don’t even know how to help me.” Aunt Ouyang said angrily to me, hands on her hips.

“Hehehehe,” I just chuckled. Aunt Ouyang was just venting her frustrations. As her son-in-law, I should just have to put up with it.

When Aunt Ouyang saw that I didn’t say anything, she pinched my arm a few more times.

“Lanlan?” came her mother’s voice from outside the door, and then the door opened.

“What are you doing here?” Mom asked.

“Your son is bullying me!” Aunt Ouyang suddenly said.

“Ah? No! I didn’t! I…” Aunt Ouyang’s words startled me. I turned my head and saw Aunt Ouyang’s sly eyes.

“Alright, alright, stop arguing with these kids. Let’s take a nap. Jingyan, do you want to come?” The mother looked at Aunt Ouyang helplessly. There was nothing she could do; this wasn’t the first time this had happened.

“I…” Qin Jingyan looked at me.

“Oh dear, let the young couple stay here. Let’s go back to the bedroom.” Before Jingyan could speak, Aunt Ouyang got up and pulled my mother away, but as she got up, she squeezed my hand tightly.

“Thump!” The door closed, and an ambiguous feeling rose in the room once again.

“Jingyan, we…”

“Let’s take a nap too~” Jingyan suddenly said.

“Hmm~ okay~” I know now is not the time—anyway, he’s mine, and he can’t run away no matter what.

Like a virtuous wife, Jingyan crawled into bed and lifted the covers to let me in.

I held the “soft, fragrant jade” tightly in my arms, my hand naturally resting on Jingyan’s softest breasts, and soon drifted off to sleep.

…

“worn out!”

I put the things I was carrying and the things hanging from my arm on the coffee table, and under my mother’s somewhat helpless gaze, I dragged my heavy steps back to my room and collapsed onto the bed.

Why do women seem to have endless energy when they go shopping, yet they don’t want to carry anything?

I struggled to turn over and lie on my side, when a faint fragrance suddenly wafted into my nose—yes, it was Jingyan’s scent.

Thinking back to this afternoon when I was surrounded by three stunningly beautiful women, and countless envious and jealous glances from passing men, I guess I’ll just have to endure the fatigue.

“Buzz!” The phone in my pocket vibrated.

I opened WeChat and received a message from someone whose profile picture was of a Western actress—it was Aunt Ouyang.

Aunt Ouyang: “You did a great job this afternoon, my darling. Thank you for your hard work. I’ll treat you to something nice to eat.”

Aunt Ouyang: “Transfer 2000 yuan.”

Aunt Ouyang: “/heart”

Aunt Ouyang: “/Kiss, and don’t forget about my precious daughter too.”

When I saw Aunt Ouyang’s message, I couldn’t stop smiling.

After giving a brief reply and lying down for a while, I got up and went to my sister’s room.

“Knock knock”

“Please come in.”

I opened the door and walked into my sister’s cozy little room. My dad originally wanted to make it pink for her and even got her lots of dolls, but she didn’t like it, so he changed it to a style similar to my bedroom.

I saw my younger sister, wearing metal-framed glasses, her shoulder-length bob hair tied into a small ponytail, and a loose school uniform, looking at the English test paper in front of her. She was secretly glancing at me out of the corner of her eye, twirling the pen in her right hand, and constantly combing the hair behind her ear with her left hand. Having known her for more than ten years, I knew immediately—she was hiding something.

“Little sister, what were you doing just now?” I asked her.

“Nothing much? Studying~ What else could I be doing~” she said naturally with a hint of resentment.

“Really? Then—let me—see!” I drawled as I pulled open the desk drawer she was blocking—a comic magazine came into view, and it even said “Collector’s Edition” on it.

“Hey, brother!” My sister’s slender arm suddenly burst with strength that was disproportionate to her size, shoving my arm away and then slamming the drawer shut with a “thud,” not even caring that my hand had accidentally brushed against her chest.

“Oh, I know all about this stuff.” I said with a mischievous grin.

“Hmm…” My sister lowered her head, not daring to look at me.

“Brother, this is a new one I bought. Don’t let Mom know. I’ll have to hide it in your room later.” My sister suddenly remembered this, then looked up and grabbed my hand, looking pitiful.

“Okay, okay, but…”

“But it can’t interfere with my studies, and my grades can’t drop. I know, I know, I know, you’ve said it eight hundred times already~” The younger sister suddenly turned her face away again, looking down at her English test paper.

What else could I say? She’s even learned to answer first, but in this atmosphere, I can’t congratulate her like I would in a skit.

“It’s okay, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.” I stroked my sister’s head and glanced at her test paper in the direction of her gaze—two reading comprehension questions and ten multiple-choice questions, six of which she got right.

“Waaah!” My sister suddenly turned around again, threw herself onto my stomach, hugged my waist, and began to sob softly.

“Brother~ I’m so tired~ Waaaaah~”

Seeing my sister’s frail body trembling constantly, the influence of our shared blood made me, as her older brother, feel distressed.

My instinct was to say – things will be better once I get to college.

But as someone who’s been through it all, I know this is something teachers have said countless times, parents have said countless times, and classmates have said countless times. If I, as the older brother, say it again, it will only have the opposite effect.

My younger sister has become noticeably more haggard since she switched to this high school.

I took out my phone, tapped on my sister’s profile picture, and went to the transfer page. Without thinking, I typed “1000”. When my finger hovered over the green transfer button, I paused, deleted what I had typed, and typed “2000” again before clicking transfer.

“Alright, stop crying. Aunt Ouyang asked me to transfer some pocket money to you,” I said, patting my sister’s head.

“Hmm?” My younger sister looked up. Her already delicate and beautiful appearance was made even more pitiful by the redness around her eyes. She picked up her phone, saw my transfer, and looked at me earnestly, saying, “Thank you, brother~ and thank you to the best Aunt Ouyang.”

“Alright, you should focus on your studies now.”

“Brother~ Do you think if I work hard for another year, I can be with you and Sister Jingyan?” the younger sister suddenly asked.

I remembered the whispered conversation between Mom and Aunt Ouyang at noon. I paused for a moment and said to my sister, “Although Jingyan and I are attending top universities, there are plenty of good schools. Just work hard.” I touched her face. Mom was just using Jingyan and me to encourage her, but she took it seriously. I really felt sorry for my simple-minded “silly” sister.

“But I also want to be in the same school as you. I don’t want to be too far from home,” the younger sister said quietly, her tone filled with insecurity.

“Then you’ll have to work even harder!” I opened my sister’s drawer, took out the comic book, and then skillfully lifted her clothes and stuffed it into my waistband.

Back in his room, he carefully hid his sister’s “collector’s edition”—it was a horror book, too? He then chatted with his childhood sweetheart and fiancée; she had to go to school early the next day for the new semester, and she needed to arrange some things.

I tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep…
