Chapter 22 of Volume 1: Golden Boy and Jade Maiden

  "You two are really close. Closer than real siblings." Little You's vinegar was overflowing, implying that the two were not biological siblings, but their relationship seemed a bit too good to be true.

  "Hmm, Xīnyuè is my cousin! Right?" Qingchi gave a sly glance and secretly pinched Xīnyuè's thigh hard, the threat and warning implicit.

  "Ah!" Xinyue exclaimed, her cheeks slightly flushed. However, she saw Xiaoyou looking at her strangely and quickly made excuses, "Yes, yes, my brother and I have been playing together since we were kids, don't mind me, sister!"

  The more she talked, the more offbeat it became. Xinyue felt very wronged. Why did she have to maintain Qingchi everywhere? In the past when he was Xinyue, she would let him do whatever he wanted, bully her, scold her without talking back, hit her without fighting back. Now that they had exchanged roles, why should she still let him take advantage of everything?!

  That's also too unfair!

  After making up her mind, Xinyue plucked up the courage to step heavily on Qingchi's right foot with the heel of her shoe and rolled it back and forth a few times, which can be said to be venting her dissatisfaction in her heart, or it can also be said that she deserved the reward for helping him lie.

  Qingchi's face changed slightly, a fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he stared at Xinyue fiercely, and in his heart, he was shocked. This little guy, could it be that he wanted to rebel?

  Xīn yuè was fearless, pouting with her small mouth, her willow eyebrows slightly furrowed, staring at Qingchi with her big, bright blue eyes, thinking she looked fierce and intimidating. However, to others, she still looked like a spoiled Barbie doll.

  Xiao You watched the two people's expressions, her heart blooming with joy, almost laughing out loud. It seems they are indeed siblings, both so childish! As she thought about it, that sour and confrontational attitude gradually dissipated. Instead, she found Xiang Yue more and more pleasing to the eye, more and more adorable.

  Qingchi was shocked and lost his color, this kid is really something! It seems that if I don't give her a little warning, she'll be unstoppable in the future? So he pulled Xinyue into his arms, the latter was still basking in the joy of victory, when suddenly she was hugged, scaring her heart racing, her small face turned bright red. Qingchi, what are you doing?!

  Xiao You was also stunned, but saw Qing Chi stretch out his hands and forcibly pry open Xiang Yue's small mouth, saying with a smile: "Xiao You, do you see the second-to-last tooth on Xiang Yue's left side? Hehe, it's a little tiger tooth! It looks just like the one you originally had!"

  Xin Yue was stunned and couldn't understand why Qing Chi wanted to do this. His large hands were like iron pliers, clamped over his mouth, and he couldn't move them no matter what.

  I'm like a puppet, manipulated by others. Without parents, life has fallen apart, and none of my original friends are left. All this can be endured because I always feel that the most important person in my life is sharing the joys and sorrows with me, as long as he's here, everything will get better. However, Qing Chi seems to have never thought so, what am I in his eyes?

  Xīn yuè doesn't mind being tired, can endure hardship, and is used to going with the flow. She won't be hurt by beating or scolding, but if she feels wronged, her heart will feel especially uncomfortable, as if that small world has collapsed. She'll feel a sourness in her nose, and her eyes will already be filled with golden beans (tears).

  Xiaoyou didn't know if Qingchi was really clueless or just completely indifferent, even she couldn't bear to watch anymore. Xiaoyou pushed Qingchi away and pulled Xinyue to her side, scolding: "Qingchi! Can't you joke around with some limits? Even if it's your sister, she's still a girl, can't you learn to cherish and appreciate women? Humph, you don't understand women's hearts at all!"

  A woman's heart?

  Xiao You's words cut into her heart like a sharp blade, and looking at Qing Chi scratching his ears and head with an expression of being completely unaware, Xiang Yue felt even more wronged, and the small gem-like tears in her eyes fell down with a pattering sound.

  Cried again...

  Xin Yue felt utterly disappointed in herself and was deeply hurt by Qing Chi's indifference, so she broke free from Xiao You's arm and ran out without looking back.

  Xiao You rushed towards Qing Chi and shouted: "Go chase after her quickly, what are you still standing there for?"

  "She's just like that, a petty ghost!" Qingchi replied indifferently. However, as he watched Xinyue walk away in the distance, he felt a sense of melancholy and loss, as if his most precious treasure had fallen to the ground, broken, shattered, and perhaps could never be repaired again.

  The sunset quietly wanted to hide, leaving a piece of soft redness, passing through the clouds, brushing against the branches, sprinkling on the faces of two golden boys and jade girls, tender and pink, like two ripe peaches, making people want to take a bite!

  The sunset fell a little more, hiding in the clouds, deeply afraid of disturbing the secret meeting of two little angels.

  The little ones sat a bit closer, then sat a bit closer again, and then sat even closer... Cough, can't get any closer than that.

  The little girl was after all smarter and more proactive than the silly little boy, naturally and smoothly placing her soft and tender small hand on top of his dark and rough small hand.

  "Thud, thud..." Both of them heard each other's heartbeat.

  "Blazing hot, I want to take a bite out of you!" The little girl said with a flushed face.

  "Xiao Shuang (the name of the little beauty), I..." Xia Yan's face turned red, how could he say such a difficult word.

  "Yan Yan, don't you like me?" The little girl was somewhat disappointed.

  "I like it! Of course I like it, but isn't this a bit too much? What if they see us?"

  "What's the big deal? We'll do it secretly, they won't see us, and you're only letting me get bitten alone, okay?"

  Xia Yan pursed his lips, as if he had made a great decision, and finally closed his eyes, turning his face to one side. "Then bite me!"

  Saying that, she handed over the half-eaten three-color ice cream in her hand and sighed in her heart, Ah! Eating fast has its benefits! After finishing it, you can eat someone else's, wuwuwu...

  "Ah! Xiao Shuang!" Xia Yan exclaimed, staring at Xiao Shuang as he finished eating.

  "What's wrong, Yan Yan?" asked Xiao Shuang.

  "The ice cream is all gone, would you please stop biting my hand?"

  "Oh, hehe... Sorry about that! Who made you not eat enough and still want to eat? If I hadn't helped you pay the membership fee earlier..." The implication is obvious.

  "Me... me..." Xia Yan's words got stuck.

  "Hey, don't mind me, I was just joking. Didn't Yan Yan let me take a few bites of your ice cream?"

  "It's not just a few mouthfuls, it's a whole half." Xia Yan added.

  This time it was Xiaoshuang's turn to fall silent.

  The two fell silent again, shoulder to shoulder, quietly watching the sunset, as if the vast world had become their own.

  Immediately afterwards, both of them exclaimed in unison: "So beautiful!" (Xia Yan's) "So thirsty!"
