Chapter 3: The Most Humble When I Like You (Twenty-Seven)

  The First Watch

  When Tangtang's soft little hands, like Second Brother's nine-toothed rake, dug into Xia Ye's thighs without knowing the weight, Xia Ye suddenly felt a strong electric current of at least 1 million volts that could electrocute people, spreading rapidly from his thighs to his whole body. The feeling was an unbearable numbness, tingling and pain! At the moment when he was about to be electrocuted, he decisively reached out to hold down those reckless little hands, gritted his teeth to maintain a cool image, and didn't even hear Tangtang calling him "brother" for the first time. He said word by word: "Do you want to murder your boyfriend?"

  Tang Sugar's mouth was agape, staring at him foolishly like an idiot, unsure of what he had done wrong.

  On a summer night, she suddenly opened her eyes, made a painful expression, and said with a pained heart: "Tang sugar classmate, I've lived with you for so many years, but the only profound words I've ever heard from you are 'I like you, my eyes must be blind.' Now I need to seriously reconsider our relationship."

  He solemnly finished speaking and closed his eyes, waiting for Tang Su's expected slap and her dissatisfied words.

  However, after waiting for a long time, nothing happened. Xia Ye opened his eyes in confusion, this time he was half-opening his mouth, staring foolishly at Tang Su, who had fallen asleep quietly beside his thigh.

  Her sleeping face is really good-looking, with a peaceful expression, a look of being at peace with the world. Her lips are slightly parted, revealing her clean and tidy white teeth inside, which is indescribably cute. Her long bangs fall messily on her forehead, exuding a kind of pitiful loneliness that makes people want to love her. On a summer night, he stared at her for a long time, dazed, then reached out his hand to brush away the bangs covering half of her face. Tang Su's long eyelashes lightly swept across his palm, stirring up the boy's heart and touching the softest part of his heart. A sweet feeling arose from the bottom of his heart.

  But when he thought of carrying the heavy Sugar back to her own room, Xia Ye suddenly felt that there would be no more love, looking at the sleeping Sugar with tears in his eyes: Girl, you're so heavy, I carried you from such a distant place, exhausting all my internal energy, true energy, and cultivation accumulated over 18 years. How can you sleep on my bed without any self-awareness now? I...I don't have the strength to carry you anymore!

  On a summer night, my heart was filled with anxiety. I really wanted to roughly wake her up and tell her to go back where she came from. But looking at how soundly she was sleeping, I couldn't bear to do it. So I gritted my teeth, took out the emergency medicine package, and with a revolutionary spirit of "regarding death as a return home", I struggled to pick up Sugar, my legs trembling, and slowly made my way step by step to her room at a turtle's pace. Finally, I put her back in her own bed.

  As he lay on his soft and comfortable bed on a summer night, he suddenly felt an amazing affection for the bed, which was unusual for someone who didn't usually like beds. It turned out that lying in bed felt so wonderful, how come he hadn't discovered it before?

  There's a joke that goes like this: A bed is a branch of heaven on earth. Isn't that just so apt and to the point? Thumbs up!

  Summer night soon entered the sweet dream, but he didn't sleep for long before being awakened by a high-pitched excited child's voice in his sleep. The child's voice kept repeating tirelessly in his ear: "Lazy worm! Get up! Lazy worm! Get up!"

  On a summer night, he opened his eyes with great difficulty, like a sleepyhead. Tang Xin's adorable and mischievous face immediately entered his line of sight. He stretched out his long arm and grabbed Tang Xin, tossing him to the door like a plush toy, mumbling: "Get lost, don't disturb me!" He flipped over, facing the window, ready to continue sleeping soundly.

  He had only slept for a few seconds, but he always felt that something was wrong, as if he had been stimulated by something, and suddenly opened his eyes to see the bright outside, scaring him out of his wits.

  What's going on? What time is it?

  It was already 6:30! The 7 o'clock self-study session! I'm going to be late!

  He quickly jumped out of bed with a carp-like movement, completing the series of programs such as dressing, using the toilet, brushing his teeth, washing his face, and combing his hair at a speed that surpassed 99% of users nationwide. In an instant, he transformed from a sleepy, disheveled young man into a handsome, spirited, and refreshing youth who was loved by all who saw him. The little guy hadn't left yet, and looking at his impromptu performance, he admired and applauded: "Brother, you're so cool!"

  When Xia Ye and Tang Xin arrived at the living room together, his cold image was originally well-maintained. However, as soon as he saw the scene in the dining hall not far away, it suddenly became chaotic: His mother was actually having a meal with Tang Sugar at the same table!

  This situation is very rare in their home, usually when Tangtang's father is at home, Tangtang will eat with everyone at the dinner table. In other cases, her mother doesn't allow Tangtang to eat at the table and always makes her eat in her own room.

  But that's not the point, the key is that his mother actually pushed a steamer of hot and fragrant Four Seasons Beauty Baozi in front of Tang Sugar with a straight face.

  Early in the morning, Mei's aunt was asked to line up to buy the hard-to-buy Siji Mei Xiaotangbao, but it wasn't for her own son to eat, it was for her least favorite adopted daughter Tang Sugar to eat. This can't be said to be too abnormal, just like people often say, the sun rises in the west!

  The little guy loves to eat Siji Meide small steamed buns, and immediately rushes to Tang Sugar's side like a small rocket, snatches the small steamed bun from her hand, looks at her with a fierce expression, and warns: "This is mine!"

  Mom scowled and said angrily: "You always eat, today let your sister have some!"

  Tang Xin was still afraid of his mother's, and reluctantly returned the small Tang Bao to Tang Sugar.

  He walked to the dinner table with a stunned expression and said, "Why don't you just buy one more basket? Now everyone is fighting over big and small ones."

  "Young master, you think it's easy to buy? I went so early and only managed to get the last basket. If you still want to buy some, you'll have to wait... until when?" Mei Ayi walked out of the kitchen with a large bowl of eight-treasure porridge.

  "Give the steamed buns to Xinxin to eat, I like to eat eight-treasure porridge." Tangtang seemed to be delighted and surprised, not even daring to raise her head while speaking.

  "Eat! I'll buy some for him later when I take him to kindergarten!" his mother ordered.

  Tang Xin unhappily pouted and scrunched up her face to eat the eight-treasure porridge, intentionally throwing a tantrum: "Not sweet at all."

  Tang Budan took a sip: "It's obviously very sweet!"

  "Dead fat pig, you think even eating shit is delicious!" The little guy couldn't get satisfaction and shifted the blame to Tang Sugar, launching a personal attack on her.

  Just as Xia Ye was about to scold him, her mother interrupted and said: "Don't talk to your sister like that! And from now on, don't call your sister 'fatty' again, or Mom will get angry!"

  Tonight was completely stunned: What day is it today? Why is everything wrong?
