The bedroom door opened, and out came Jiang Li and Jiang Yu.
Jiang Xiao, pretending to be calm, turned his head and looked at his younger brother and sister, his voice gentle as he spoke, “What’s wrong, can’t sleep?”
“Jiang Yu was a little thirsty, so I brought him out for some water.”
Jiang Li shook her head as she spoke.
Hearing this, Jiang Xiao instinctively wanted to get up from the sofa, but before he could move, he clearly felt the soft sensation clinging to him, suddenly recalling that he wasn’t the only one on the sofa right now—so, at this moment, he couldn’t leave the sofa!
“I can do it myself, Brother, you keep resting.” With that, Jiang Li took her brother’s hand and quietly walked over to where the thermos was kept.
Jiang Yu was also well-behaved, fully cooperative, not making much noise at all.
Seeing his younger siblings so sensible, Jiang Xiao was stunned for a moment, a bittersweet and gratified smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
“By the way, Brother, I think I just heard Brother Qiuyu’s voice?”
While pouring water, Jiang Li suddenly seemed to remember and brought it up.
Jiang Xiao froze. They had already lowered their voices as much as possible, but it was still heard?
Inside the blanket, Song Qiuyu’s body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously pressed herself even closer to Jiang Xiao.
Feeling the boy’s firm body, she bit down on her lip, so nervous she hardly dared to breathe.
Now, she was even more afraid that Jiang Li and Jiang Yu would notice something.
The way they looked now—there was simply no way to explain it.
“I think I also heard that big brother’s voice!”
Jiang Yu rubbed his eyes sleepily and chimed in.
At this point, Song Qiuyu grew even more flustered, her panic mounting.
Remembering it was her idea to squeeze onto the sofa in the first place, her heart thumped wildly.
She dropped her gaze unintentionally, and with the faint light, she could clearly see how tightly she and Jiang Xiao were pressed together.
She froze for a brief second, then her elegant brows furrowed and a look of distaste appeared on her face.
It was clearly Jiang Xiao who wanted her to act as a girlfriend, but halfway through, he just stopped…
He should have gotten angry and ignored Song Qiuyu or Shen Xi, but instead, Jiang Xiao still wouldn’t give up and wanted to get back together!
If that’s the case, then don’t blame her for using her girlfriend status to vent!
For a moment, emotion overtook reason.
She licked her fingertip and, through her pajamas, pressed it against his firm chest.
Sure enough, Jiang Xiao’s body trembled twice.
But, knowing Jiang Xiao’s character, he probably wouldn’t move or make a sound.
Song Qiuyu’s eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement, shining alarmingly bright.
Hmph, this was nothing—at worst, she’d just claim later that it was a little playful game between lovers, no real feelings involved, all just acting!
This is exactly what a girlfriend who really likes her boyfriend would do.
Jiejieje!
The girl’s cool fingertip squeezed and kneaded, the hard muscles beneath turning as solid as stone and burning with heat.
“Mm…”
Jiang Xiao froze—he really should have known his girlfriend was never obedient, and moreover, she was a scoundrel!
A scoundrel who only flirts but never marries.
The helpless thing was, he actually quite liked Xi’er being this mischievous…
“Brother, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Li noticed her brother’s changed expression and asked in concern.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiao’s act of calm faltered a bit, for even now, his restless girlfriend was still at it.
He clenched his fists, coughed twice, and tried to change the subject with a smile, “It’s nothing, just suddenly thought of something happy!”
Hmm?
Song Qiuyu paused. What happy thing?
Jiang Li and Jiang Yu had the same doubt in their minds.
What on earth could make their brother so happy?
Looking more closely, their brother’s ears were even red—does being happy make your ears turn red?
They didn’t really get it.
“No need to wait for winter break.” Jiang Xiao said steadily.
“Tomorrow, I’ll take your sister-in-law with us. Just the four of us—we’ll go to the theme park.” Song Qiuyu finally stopped kneading.
At this, Jiang Xiao couldn’t hold back a laugh.
On instinct, he pinched her soft cheek, rubbing it gently with his fingertip.
Did she really think he didn’t know what was going on in her mind? Since they were both acting, might as well go all out—tomorrow, they’d all wear nice clothes to the theme park together.
He’d even help her dress up properly.
Couple scarves were a must.
Song Qiuyu glanced down, staring at the large hand that somehow always managed to find her cheek, and bit her lip in embarrassment.
If she could, she really wanted to just bury her head right now.
How annoying.
She didn’t want to sulk with him, and honestly, she couldn’t—not when, by all rights, her ending could have been much worse than this.
But still, how long could Jiang Xiao’s gentleness last?
Would there come a day when he’d lose patience and treat her harshly?
She stopped moving. Quiet and obedient, she pressed her flushed face to the boy’s firm chest and closed her eyes.
He smelled so good. She liked it.
“Sister-in-law agreed?”
Jiang Li’s always-cool voice now held a hint of excitement.
She was so curious about this sister-in-law.
Jiang Yu sipped his water obediently, his eyes fixed on his brother’s face.
He just felt that his brother was acting really weird tonight.
“Mm, she agreed.” Jiang Xiao answered without hesitation.
Song Qiuyu bit down on her lip, but couldn’t help rubbing her cheek twice more against his chest, hugging him even tighter.
Accepting things on her behalf deserved punishment!
Immediately, Jiang Xiao’s whole body went rigid, his ears burning even redder.
His breath became hot and hurried.
If his siblings weren’t here, he might have just climbed under the blanket and bullied Xi’er mercilessly.
Really, knowing full well they shouldn’t, but still doing it—was she not doing this on purpose to make him…
“Brother, are you really okay?”
Jiang Yu edged closer, worriedly watching his brother, reaching out a chubby hand to touch his brother’s forehead.
“Uh, brother, your forehead is so hot, are you getting a fever?!”
“I’m fine…”
Jiang Xiao shook his head lightly.
“It’s just because I put on too many Warm Babies. By the way, are you guys cold? There are still a few Warm Babies in the cabinet. If you feel cold, go get one yourself.” Warm Baby gritted his teeth.
“So it was Warm Babies!” Jiang Yu exclaimed in realization.
“Alright, thank you, Brother. If I feel cold, I’ll go get one.”
Jiang Li still felt something was odd, but didn’t ask further.
She nodded and took Jiang Yu, who had finished drinking, back to their bedroom, closing the door.
The living room quieted down again.
Jiang Xiao leaned back against the sofa, half-closing his eyes, steadying his breath.
Having your girlfriend draped over you, rubbing and squeezing like this—this test was way too much.
Song Qiuyu waited for a long while before poking her small head out from under the blanket.
But it was so cramped that as she poked out, her soft, smooth cheek brushed lightly against the person beside her.
In that instant, both of them stiffened slightly, their hearts trembling.
Jiang Xiao didn’t dare move, and neither did Song Qiuyu. In the end, he broke the silence first.
“Xi’er, you really went too far just now.”
Jiang Xiao’s low, slow voice drifted into Song Qiuyu’s ear, carried by the warm air.
Song Qiuyu only panicked for a few seconds before straightening up, chest out.
“If you’re talking about me touching your chest,”
Song Qiuyu replied righteously.
“That’s because your chest was tempting me. How could a girlfriend resist? Jiang Xiao, you should reflect on your own problem!”
“Alright, I’ll reflect.”
Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but laugh, his voice turning hoarse.
“But maybe you should scoot over a bit. Although, I really do like this.”
Hearing this, Song Qiuyu paused, as if in a daze for a while before reacting.
Then she lowered her gaze and, instead of moving away, scooted even closer.
“You said you like it, so I’ll just sit a while longer.”
“Xi’er,”
Jiang Xiao endured his discomfort, looking at the obedient girl sitting on his lap, her face all red. His heart couldn’t help but beat faster.
Hearing this, it was as if, so long as he liked it, she’d do anything for him.
Realizing this, he felt immensely satisfied, a small smile appearing on his lips as he unconsciously leaned in closer to her.
Just then, ding—Song Qiuyu’s phone received a new QQ message.
Jiang Xiao’s expression darkened, and then he saw the girl beside him quickly fish her phone out of her pajama pocket and open QQ.
He didn’t know whether to be grateful that the phone had been so quiet until now, or to hate that it buzzed at just this moment.
So who could it be?
With that in mind, he leaned in, openly stealing a glance at her phone screen.
Upon seeing the message, he was stunned.
But Jiang Xiao wasn’t the only one stunned.
