After thinking over several possibilities, Xiang Yi finally mustered the courage to knock on Xiang Yi’s door.
He was going to explain everything clearly to his sister!
“Creak—” The door was suddenly opened from the inside.
Xiang Yi was holding Xiao Naofu, looking at Xiang Yu with a puzzled expression.
Her brother’s burden of maintaining his image still haunted him. Xiang Yu immediately retracted his hand with a calm expression on his face. With a feigned fierceness, he said, “Are you a pig? Why do you need to nap for so long?”
As soon as he said the words, he regretted it. He wanted to salvage the situation, but when he opened his mouth, his mind only accumulated an array of swears and not a single word used to coax people.
Xiang Yi took a deep breath and shoved Xiao Naofu into his arms before leaving.
Since her brother hated her so much, she… probably shouldn’t show up around him for now.
Xiang Yu stood in place as he stared at her disappearing silhouette in a daze.
He sighed and raised Xiao Naofu to his face. “What do I do? I think I made her angry.”
Xiao Naofu maintained a noble and cold composure. ‘What a dumb human. Did you just realize how overboard you’ve been acting?’
“I didn’t mean to…” Xiang Yu’s voice was low, but it was evidently frustrated and very irritable. “I thought she wasn’t my sister, so that’s why I… But she’s really my little sister, so how do I coax her…”
‘Huh?’
‘It seems like the stupid woman’s brother is somewhat intelligent.’
Just like how Xiang Yi had taken care of Xiao Naofu, it also wanted Xiang Yi to be happy. The cat waved its small paws and tapped Xiang Yu’s left chest.
‘Mhmm. The signal was obvious enough.’
When it came to family, each member should treat each other sincerely and trade heart for heart.
The next second—
Xiang Yu suddenly revealed a shocked expression as if he’d just made a life-changing discovery He took out a cardholder from his shirt pocket with one hand and excitedly declared, “Say, if I give my sister a set of max-level god equipment in this game alongside a max-level boss sword, will she be happy?”
Xiao Naofu: “…”
“No, no, how can one sword be enough? My little sister must have the best. I’ll give her a complete set of equipment!” Xiang Yu said passionately.
Xiao Naofu: “…”
‘So this kid has a bit of IQ, but how can his EQ be lower than that of a Huhu!!!’
Xiang Yi picked a handful of loquat fruits, washing them before peeling and pitting the fruits. She then put them in a clean glass bowl.
She has always been a patient person, whether it came to studying or performing trivial tasks, as she never got bored of it.
After peeling the fruits, she was subconsciously going to bring it to her brother, but thinking of his attitude toward her just now…
Perhaps he would rather eat the loquat pits than the fruits that she had peeled.
Xiang Yi laughed to herself. Through the full span window, she saw Shi Sui in the sunroom full of flowers. He was probably reading over a script, carefully contemplating the text with a serious expression on his face, seeming even more handsome and stunning.
‘Zaizai is so hardworking.’
As expected of an award-winning best leading actor.
Xiang Yi made a pot of floral tea and brought it over with the loquat fruit.
Inside the flower-filled sunroom.
The more he smoked, the more he became addicted. Shi Sui ignited another cigarette as he skimmed through the lines on his page.
He had an excellent memory and could remember all the lines after reading them just once. Yet, he had an inexplicable feeling that he wouldn’t be able to act it out.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his eyebrows. Seeing that the person approaching was Xiang Yi, his first reaction was to put out the cigarette.
The girl dressed in the vintage black velvet dress strode into the sea of gorgeous flowers like a nobleman’s daughter in medieval Europe.
“Sorry to disturb you, Senior.” Xiang Yi put down the tray, her clear eyes falling on Shi Sui’s cigarette pack. Shi Sui felt an inexplicable guilt from her gaze and cleared his throat. “Actually, I don’t smoke all that much…”
Only two packs a day occasionally….
Only two. ●ε●
