This is an idiom.
Lin Yu felt that he was currently the turtle trapped in the jar city. Of course, this wasn’t an insult to himself, but rather a description of the feeling.
Logically speaking, his sister coming to find him shouldn’t lead to her doing anything too excessive to him.
At most, it would be a hug for a while, some talking… it wouldn’t cost him a piece of flesh. When they were little, his sister had hugged him plenty of times.
But… a certain kind of “experience” had refined a “scumbag’s” intuition, and it was now frantically sounding the alarm.
No! Absolutely not!
Even though he didn’t know why it was a ‘no,’ he chose to trust his intuition.
This instinctive, baseless vigilance had indeed helped him many times in the past.
After Xia Yanran awakened her ability, her tracking skills had become abnormally terrifying. She could pinpoint his location with just a single strand of his hair.
Back then, he had relied on this intuition for danger to avoid quite a few “gotcha” scenes.
The awakened Xia Yanran was no longer human in certain aspects…
Lin Yu sat up from the bed without making a sound.
He stared intently at the direction of the door while quickly switching his phone to silent mode, to prevent any brain-dead moves like an incoming call exposing him.
All experience.
Sure enough, after knocking a few more times without getting a response, Lin Yu’s phone screen lit up. It was a message from his sister.
[Little Yu, where did you go?]
Lin Yu stared at the screen, his finger hovering above the keyboard, not replying immediately.
About a minute later, seeing there was still no movement from his side, a second message popped up.
[Little Yu, say something? Don’t make your sister worry, okay?]
Lin Yu’s gaze shifted from the screen, looking towards the door again.
His mood at this moment was complex.
The concern in his sister’s words was genuine. Was it too wrong of him to deliberately hide from her like this and make her worry?
It didn’t seem like a big deal, just a hug…
But, just as that sliver of hesitation and soft-heartedness began to surface in his heart…
“Bang bang bang bang bang!”
Heavier, more urgent knocking than before suddenly erupted, pounding against the door panel and assaulting his eardrums.
Accompanying the knocking was Lin Mowei’s voice, lowered in a call:
“Little Yu? You’re not in the room? If you’re inside, could you open the door? Your sister just wants to talk to you, really, I won’t do anything.”
“!”
That last line, “I won’t do anything,” instantly scattered the faint thought of opening the door that had just risen.
He was all too familiar with that line.
Suddenly, Lin Yu remembered something.
[Sis, I’m at the hot spring.]
He sent the message and let out a soft sigh of relief.
Thankfully, quick thinking in an emergency had produced this excuse.
He had to thank Qin Wuyue for mentioning the hot spring earlier, otherwise, he really wouldn’t have been able to come up with such a reasonable place to be on such short notice.
This time, the knocking outside the door stopped.
The pause this time was a bit longer. His sister seemed to be thinking about how to reply.
[Then send me a photo? Your sister wants to go take a dip later too.]
Lin Yu looked at this message, his cheek twitching uncontrollably.
This tone… this request…
Why did it inexplicably feel like being checked up on? That wasn’t right, was it?
[Sis, this is the men’s bath! Can’t take pictures!!!]
The three consecutive exclamation marks at the end were the strongest emotion he could express in text.
The reply this time was quite fast.
[Alright then. I still wanted to see Little Yu’s… (disappointed emoji)]
Lin Yu: “…”
What do you want to see?!
He put down his phone, weakly raising a hand to press against his forehead.
Anyway, he had managed to temporarily send his sister away.
Following this trajectory, his sister should return to her own room first.
If she sent another message later asking, he’d just pretend not to see it, and later say he got back too late from the hot spring and went straight to sleep.
The plan seemed perfect, but…
A faint sound came from the direction of the door, ruthlessly shattering his expectations.
“Click, click.”
A slight sound of a metal internal structure being repeatedly tested and fiddled with was particularly piercing in the silent room.
Lin Yu’s pupils contracted sharply, his eyes fixed on the direction of the doorknob.
It couldn’t be…
…
Outside the door.
Lin Mowei looked at her brother’s reply on her phone screen, the corners of her lips curving into a pleased arc.
Little brother went to the hot spring?
That was a bit unexpected, but it didn’t matter.
Anyway, that hug today, she was determined to claim it no matter what.
At worst, she’d just wait for him to come back.
And where to wait?
Why, on her little brother’s bed, of course!
Just imagining it—her little brother returning from the hot spring, his whole body warm, damp, carrying the steam and the fresh, clean scent after bathing…
Just thinking of this scene made Lin Mowei feel a rush of heat uncontrollably coursing through her body, making her shiver all over.
She quickly raised a hand to wipe the corner of her mouth in a掩饰性 manner. Good, she hadn’t actually drooled.
No, no, Lin Mowei, you have to restrain yourself! Can’t be so impatient! You’ll scare your little brother! She repeatedly warned herself in her heart.
Take it slow, bit by bit, let little brother gradually lower his guard, get used to, and even come to like this kind of closeness.
Must absolutely not, out of fear, rashly resort to forceful methods. That would only mess things up and push little brother further away.
Mu Liuli’s appearance had brought her a strong sense of crisis.
But it was okay, Lin Mowei told herself.
Judging from the zero communication between the two at the restaurant earlier and her little brother’s obvious avoidance, their relationship was clearly far from reaching that point.
Moreover, her little brother didn’t seem to want to pay attention to that girl either.
That’s good, Little Yu, you’re doing the right thing.
Your sister will protect you, drive away all the “flies” who want to get close to you with ill intentions!
Lin Mowei’s eyes darkened slightly, a trace of coldness flashing through.
As an ability user, if you can’t even pick a lock, how are you supposed to uphold justice?
Her hand pressed on the handle, gave it a slight turn, then suddenly exerted force, using an over-frequency vibration to directly destroy the internal structure of the lock core.
It sounded difficult, and doing it was also not simple at all.
“Snap!”
The sound of a small part inside the lock core snapping rang out, and the door handle loosened.
A gentle turn, a push, and the door slid open a crack inward.
She first warily looked left and right down the empty corridor, then, like a cat sneaking back home, tiptoed inside, even closing the door gently behind her—though the lock was already broken…
“Little Yu~” she called out in a suppressed voice, using a sickly sweet, probing, and coaxing tone towards the interior, “Can your sister come in? If you don’t say anything, your sister will take it as your agreement~”
The room was quiet. The lights were on, bright light spilling into every corner.
The window was shut tight, the curtains drawn.
Lin Mowei’s gaze swept over the empty bed. Hmm, little brother really wasn’t here.
A sliver of disappointment crossed her heart, but it was soon replaced by another, more peculiar excitement.
She spread her arms and took a deep breath, as if wanting to inhale all the scent belonging to her little brother in the room into her lungs.
“Hah…” She let out a satisfied sigh, a faint flush of pleasure coloring her cheeks, her eyes becoming hazy.
“Ah~ Little Yu’s scent… I like it…” she murmured softly.
She walked the few steps to the bed and, unable to wait any longer, threw herself onto it, her whole body sinking into the soft mattress.
She grabbed Lin Yu’s pillow and hugged it tightly to her chest, burying her entire face in it, taking another deep, greedy breath.
But immediately, her brows furrowed again, her expression a mix of disgust and unwillingness.
There was another woman’s scent… that little bitch’s scent was also clinging to it.
Don’t like it… really don’t like it!
But… little brother’s own scent is also on it, I like it…
Lin Mowei seemed to have fallen into a contradictory state.
One moment she buried her face in the pillow, wearing an infatuated, intoxicated expression; the next, she frowned in disgust, pulling the pillow away a bit, but soon couldn’t help but press close again.
Her breathing became somewhat hurried because of this.
The soft, long dress she wore had already ridden up quite a bit due to her constant squirming, crumpled and bunched around her waist.
Two straight, slender, jade-white beautiful legs were completely exposed under the light.
Her feet also rubbed against each other unconsciously, toes curling slightly.
As if holding just the pillow wasn’t enough, she also clamped the thin quilt on the bed between her legs, rubbing it back and forth gently against the sensitive area at the top of her thighs, her cheek pressed against the pillow, emitting a nasal, indistinct hum.
Mmm… this way, when little brother covers himself with it, it will also be stained with your sister’s scent, hehe…
Probably, apart from Mu Qingqing, no one would ever be able to imagine that the heroic, unsmiling-to-strangers Lin Mowei could show such an infatuated state, including her own little brother, Lin Yu.
As for why Lin Mowei didn’t see Lin Yu?
Because he was in the wardrobe, and… the problem he was facing now seemed even more serious.
Inside the wardrobe, he had discovered a person!
