Chapter Thirteen The First Night Down

  When I went back, grandma and grandpa were already asleep, but mom and dad were still sitting on the sofa watching TV.

  As soon as I heard the sound of the door opening, my mom immediately turned around: "Yao Yao is back?"

  Watching her laugh until her eyes were just a slit, I inexplicably felt a chill run down my spine and shuddered in response.

  "Alright, be more subtle, don't scare our daughter." My dad rubbed my mom's hair with the back of his hand.

  "Got it, got it." My mom's excitement didn't fade, she stood up and rushed to my front in a flash, fiddling with my two arms and exclaimed, "Ah, this is the good daughter I gave birth to!"

  My lips twitched: "You've just realized I'm your child?"

  "What nonsense are you talking about?" My mom gave me a glance, and continued to sigh with intoxication, "I really didn't expect that I could give birth to such a good daughter, whether it's external beauty or internal beauty, everything is so perfect, it's really flawless..."

  I pulled my arm out of her embrace with force, walking in while saying: "Auntie, the goddess you're talking about is definitely not your daughter, go take a shower first."

  "Not only will I get a son-in-law who is so good to me, but I'll also get the most perfect grandson in history! Oh, this is what I really wanted to express!"

  My mom spun around with incredible agility, then froze in a pose that only a young girl would strike, looking at me with an unmistakable flirtatious glint in her eyes that almost made me spit blood.

  "Mom, what do you mean? What son-in-law and grandson?"

  Has she already arranged a son-in-law for herself without telling me? And also adopted a grandson?

  My mom covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Silly child, my son-in-law is your husband, my grandson is your kid, you don't even understand this, what will you do when you get married..."

  "Stop, stop, stop! You don't need to teach me what's next!" I took a deep breath. "I just want to ask. Where did your son-in-law and grandson come from?"

  She smiled with an air of mystery: "When did I ever say that I have a son-in-law and grandson?"

  I am silent.

  "I was just saying that in the future I'll have a super son-in-law and super grandson, what's wrong with that? My dear daughter, are you going to marry someone who is mediocre and has no ambition? Or does my precious daughter not plan on getting married?"

  I silently walked past her and went to my room.

  "Good girl, I'm telling you in advance, your father and I are eager to hold our super grandchild. So when the time comes, don't have any psychological burden of 'not getting parents' consent'. Your father and I are very open-minded and democratic, oh! By the way, remember one thing, we also don't like mixed-blood grandchildren. If you want to cut off your relationship with us, then go ahead and find a foreign man to have children with, hehe..." followed by my mom's eerie laughter.

  I stumbled all the way back to my room. With a bang, I closed the door and leaned against it, panting heavily.

  Was my mom having a Guanyin sending children dream last night or did she have an epileptic seizure? This state is too dangerous, it can't be controlled at all!

  I was still in a state of lingering fear when I suddenly heard a faint "older sister" coming from beside me.

  I turned around and chuckled: "Yueyue, what are you doing? The air conditioner is set so low. Aren't you cold wearing so little?"

  Bai Yue was wearing only a white silk camisole, standing beside the wardrobe with her hair disheveled and her eyes staring blankly at me. She took step by step towards me: "Eldest sister, let me take a good look at your face, see if you really are prettier than all the girls..."

  I thought she had heard my mom's earlier nonsense praising me. Immediately clearing up the relationship: "Okay, don't take your aunt's words to heart, she was a bit crazy tonight and might recover tomorrow. It's already very late, go to sleep quickly, tomorrow I'll take you and Qin sister to the amusement park to play." As I said this, I directly wrapped my arms around her small waist and dragged her towards the bed.

  She didn't struggle unexpectedly, but stubbornly repeated those few words: "Let me see your face, I want to see your face. Why does everyone only want you..."

  I managed to put her down on the bed, and looking at her pale face, I felt a little uneasy. I helped her tuck in the quilt and comforted her by saying: "This world isn't just for Xiaojiao's boyfriend alone, who knows, maybe when you get to high school... no, when you get to college, you'll meet an even better one? You're still young..."

  "It's not that," she interrupted me in a sharp voice, "don't you know that some people are irreplaceable in one's heart? Xiao Qiao Gege is Xiao Qiao Gege, he looks so good-looking, there won't be any boy who looks better than him, even if there is, it won't give me that kind of heartbeat feeling again, no one can replace him forever!"

  I was taken aback, such profound words came out of her mouth so easily, has she really never been in love before?

  Bai Yue became excited, her gestures and movements looking a bit comical: "But why does my first love have to be ruined by you time and time again? Did I owe you something in my past life? Why are you so vicious?"

  I rubbed my temples in pain: "I just didn't help you say a few good words, how did I become an accomplice to ruining your first love? You're also too good at framing people."

  "You!" She glared at me angrily. "Everyone is helping you, I hate you, but I still don't hate Little Qiao Gege, get out of my sight!

  "Alright alright, I'm leaving now, you sleep quickly." I took the pajamas from the closet and went straight into the bathroom in the bedroom.

  After washing up, I walked out quietly, and the bedroom was quiet, with a faint sound of breathing that could be heard vaguely.

  She should be asleep by now?

  I lingered in the bathroom for almost half an hour, taking longer than usual with each step, with only one goal in mind: hoping that this emotionally unstable little monster would be asleep by the time I came out.

  I casually picked up a box of milk from the box and drank it while looking down at my younger sister with her eyes closed.

  She is still very cute and lovely after all.

  But now the most important thing is, where will I sleep later? Here or... in the study room? Although my cousin has fallen asleep, it's hard to guarantee that she won't do something unimaginable when she wakes up in the middle of the night.

  I was still hesitating when my younger cousin's eyes suddenly opened, and a sorrow that didn't belong to someone of her age flowed out from her clear black and white eyes: "Older sister, I couldn't sleep."

  Huh? Are you flirting with me? How unusual?

  My heart softened, I wrapped a mouthful of milk and smiled, just about to swallow it again when her voice rang out clearly once more.

  "What should I do? I really want to quietly get rid of you."

  "Gasp!"

  The next morning I woke up on the sofa in the study.

  Last night, because of my cousin's astonishing words, I spat out a mouthful of milk. Fortunately, I turned in time and the milk only spilled on the floor. But it was clear that I no longer had the courage to stay in the room for long. After hastily wiping the floor clean, I quickly grabbed the blanket and pillow and went to the study, not feeling at ease until I locked the door behind me.

  "Uh..." Gazing out the window at the gradually brightening sky, I let out a sorrowful sigh. It seems that for this entire month, I'll have to sleep on this hard and stiff leather sofa.

  PS：

  There is still one more update tonight before 11 pm!
