NOVPUBFor a guy, this was quite the stimulation. Right beside his girlfriend, being teased by the "little auntie."
Shen Mochen's body went limp, but he managed to keep his wits about him, shaking his leg in an attempt to dislodge the restless foot.
Of course, just shaking his leg was futile, so Shen Mochen had to put down his utensils. Under Xia Yusi's teasing gaze, he reached under the table, gently grasped her foot, and moved it away.
Xia Yusi complied quite obligingly this time, her face glowing red.
Although it was a blessing, it was really tiring… Shen Mochen sighed weakly.
"Sis, my stomach feels a bit off, and I didn't bring any medicine. Can you go buy some for me?" Xia Yusi coughed.
"Now? Let's go after dinner, it's not a big deal…" Xia Qingrou frowned slightly.
"Just go now, my stomach really hurts. Hurry, hurry, the sooner you go, the sooner you return!"
"Hmph…" With no choice and not knowing how to refuse, Xia Qingrou nodded, stood up, then gave Shen Mochen a quick kiss on the cheek, whispering, "She's making me go buy medicine for her, definitely just trying to get rid of me. You better behave well, this is an advance reward for you!"
"Okay, I got it." Shen Mochen smiled.
Xia Qingrou gave Xia Yusi a sharp look, somewhat uneasy, but she had no choice but to leave quickly.
"The light bulb is finally gone!" As soon as Xia Qingrou left, Xia Yusi stretched lazily, her tone relaxed.
What are you talking about, sister? Why are you so naturally taking over? You're the light bulb! Why do you sound so righteous? Aren't you a bit embarrassed?
Shen Mochen sighed deeply, lowered his head to eat his steak, pretending not to hear.
Xia Yusi playfully kicked Shen Mochen's foot with her bare foot: "Hey hey, Mochen, don't just focus on your food. Look at me, am I not tastier than a steak?"
Shen Mochen smiled helplessly: "Well… sister, I am Qingrou's boyfriend."
"I know, so what?" Xia Yusi cocked her head, blinking her eyes.
Shen Mochen doubted his own ears. Do you know what you're saying? You're trying to seduce your sister's husband, why can you say it so naturally! 𝚗o𝚟pub.𝚌𝚘𝚖
"So… it's impossible between us." Shen Mochen felt disheartened and was forced to harden his skin to repeat this obvious fact.
When someone is shameless, in a way, she becomes invincible.
"So you were worried about that, huh? Actually, you don't need to worry!" Xia Yusi rested her chin in her hands, smiling like a blooming spring flower, "Our sisterly bond is very strong, what's hers is mine, and mine… is still mine, though sometimes, when I'm in a good mood, I might share with her!"
I don't believe you at all, why didn't you say that while Qingrou was here? Also, stop kicking around, what if you hit my vital parts!
"Sorry, Qingrou didn't tell me that."
"What did she tell you then, to warn you about me, to keep you from being stolen by me?"
Xia Yusi smiled beautifully, her eyes slightly squinting, seductive as if capturing souls. Perhaps it was the wine, her cheeks flushed, making her look like a tempting fruit.
Who among the beauties is drunk amidst the red snow and crimson silk, and cannot untie?
"Yes." Shen Mochen nodded sincerely, there was no need to lie at this moment, "She said you always bully her, and told me never to be taken away by you."
"Hehehe, I knew she would think that way." Xia Yusi giggled, "But you don't have to worry, even if you were taken by me, she wouldn't be mad for long. Maybe in the future she'd even willingly call you brother-in-law. Sis has always been like this since she was little, very forgetful. Even if I took her toy or ate her jelly, she quickly forgave."
"I think, things can't be compared to people." Shen Mochen licked his lips.
He was getting a bit angry, despite her being Xia Qingrou's elder sister, Shen Mochen still felt uncomfortable.
Xia Qingrou truly was forgetful, especially of others' wrongs.
Han Muxue would unleash her vicious tongue on her all day, yet she would just laugh it off, never getting angry.
Xiao Xingshuang would usually have cold and harsh words for people, yet she never took it to heart, instead treating everyone equally.
She had planned for so long to drive him away, even sacrificed her body, but still failed. Yet, the next day, she was back in high spirits.
She really had a great capacity for forgetfulness; it was hard to say if she was naturally optimistic or just as foolish as Cai Yuncui.
Or perhaps she just didn't take herself too seriously.
But Shen Mochen knew that Xia Qingrou sometimes had a very good memory.
She remembered each team member's preferences, always took care to protect Han Muxue's feelings, and remembered her responsibilities as the eldest sister.
While helping him train, she made sure to point out everything he should pay attention to. Even when facing a Grade A monster and certain death, she remembered to apologize to him.
Xia Yusi made bullying Xia Qingrou sound trivial, as if good people should be pointed at with a gun.
"Actually, it's pretty much the same," Xia Yusi shook her head, "Sometimes I play with her stuff and then give it back, she still likes it just the same... Perhaps next time, the three of us could do it together!"
"That's a tempting proposal, but second sister, I think you should apologize to sister Qingrou," Shen Mochen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Your suggestion is a bit insulting. Disrespecting me is one thing, but it's also not nice to sister Qingrou."
Shen Mochen still said it with a smile, as if he was just joking.
He had a bit of a people-pleasing personality and didn't easily fall out with acquaintances. Besides, he was just slightly annoyed.
After all, they were sisters; why should he, an outsider, worry about it?
"Okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't have said that about you. You are a decent person, brother Chen, can you forgive me?" Xia Yusi blinked her eyes and readily apologized.
"It's okay, it was just a joke," Shen Mochen laughed, that was enough.
"Actually, it's not really a joke…" Xia Yusi sighed softly, her gaze dimmed, and she shook her head self-mockingly, "Even though my little sister and I are completely different in personality, our aesthetic tastes are quite similar. Too bad it's unrequited love; I was just a step too late."
"Sorry," was all Shen Mochen could say.
Thinking to himself that her and her sister's tastes were nothing alike, her sister didn't actually like him.
Xia Yusi laughed: "It's okay, I haven't given up, I'll be more subtle in the future!"
"I think it would be better if you gave up," Shen Mochen felt helpless, couldn't it really be love at first sight?
This damn charm of mine, why did I have to be so handsome!
"Would you like a drink?" Xia Yusi asked.
"Sorry, I usually don't drink."
"Oh, is that so, do you smoke then?"
"I don't smoke either…"
Xia Yusi's eyes sparkled: "Good habits indeed, I knew I wasn't wrong about you!"
I think there are probably many guys who neither smoke nor drink… Except they're not as handsome as me, doesn't seem to be much difference.
"Hey, you're so handsome; you must be quite popular with the ladies."
Xia Yusi stared at Shen Mochen intently as she asked.
