Chapter 6: I Only Listen to Big Brother!

Can’t think straight.

Other than the soft warmth on his lips, all that was left was Ziyi’s gentle breath.

Did she just steal his First Time like that?

Isn’t this way too bizarre? Even Yezhe could hardly believe it.

But everything felt so real.

The thumping of his heart was frighteningly clear, his mind completely blank, nothing left but a void.

After a long while, Ziyi let go of Yezhe.

Only their ragged breaths echoed in the alley.

Learning from last time, Yezhe quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

“You, why did you just…”

His question was cut off, rough and abrupt. Unlike Yezhe, who was soft all over and blushing furiously, Ziyi had already put back on her usual cold, impassive face as if nothing had happened.

“Forget The Incident.”

Tossing out those words, Ziyi walked away without a backward glance.

What???

She steals his First Time for no reason, and now she tells him to forget it?

Even if you’re a Class Beauty, how could I possibly forget this?!

But Ziyi really is a Class Beauty.

There are many reasons people end up on the fringes, but most are either unattractive or lack social skills.

Ziyi wasn’t either of those—no, compared to those, she was even more extreme.

She simply disdained socializing. At least in this Class, that’s how she appeared.

Her grades weren’t the best, but they were still enough to make her stand out at School.

It’s not that no one wanted to be friends with her.

After all, having a Class Beauty benefits everyone, boys and girls alike.

At the start of the semester, a little clique wanted to use Ziyi’s pretty face to attract handsome guys.

In the end, Ziyi refused them in an extremely arrogant way.

The result: that boy-crazy clique ended up a big influence in the Class, and Ziyi, targeted at every turn, became the outcast.

But for Ziyi, it didn’t really matter.

She was always a maverick; to her, friends seemed pointless.

At least, that’s how Yezhe saw her.

………

First of all, for two strangers to become friends, they must share at least one thing—either Interest and Worldview or hobbies.

Only then can conversation continue, and friendship deepen, leading to understanding and tolerance.

For Ziyi—

Yes, but not exactly.

—————

After Ziyi left, Yezhe went home too.

Even now, he still couldn’t understand why Ziyi had kissed him out of nowhere.

Even if he blocked a knife for her, it shouldn’t have led to this, right?

What a strange girl.

Maybe he’d try asking her at School the next day?

He actually did try.

But every time he was about to ask, Yezhe would remember the feeling of her lips that night.

Honestly, what teenage boy could withstand such stimulation? Just remembering it made his heart race.

In the end, every time he mustered up the courage to ask Ziyi, it always devolved into Yezhe standing there, about to speak, face suddenly turning red, and sometimes even covering his face with his hands.

Damn it, he was a boy, wasn’t he?

How could he be so shy!

And so, The Incident remained a mystery—especially after Yezhe left the City, when it became even more unknowable.

……

No good, my head’s spinning.

For Yezhe, who barely slept all night, dizziness was only natural.

Counting it all up, he’d barely slept two hours…

All because of the adorable little one in his arms.

Even in her sleep, she kept muttering “Big Brother, Big Brother”—who could handle that?

Carefully moving away the small Hand clinging to his shoulder, Yezhe got up as gently as he could.

“Bro… ther?”

He still woke her.

Haaa~

A Hand covered her slightly open mouth as Liuyin stretched her arms over her head.

Dragging out the end of her yawn, Liuyin finally finished.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes.

“Brother, where are you… going…”

“…Don’t… leave…”

Wait a second?

“Huuu—”

This is unbelievable, how does a kid manage to fall asleep again right after waking up?

Just how tired is she??

With a thud, Liuyin collapsed back onto the bed and drifted off again.

“Bro… ther… huu…”

“Mhm, I’m right here.”

After tucking Liuyin in, Yezhe had to start another day as a wage slave.

He caught the first bus, had the same Breakfast as yesterday, and brought Breakfast for Yudong again.

But now, Yezhe was no longer just coasting through life.

Since they were together, he had to fulfill his Social Responsibility!

Thinking that, Yezhe sat in the Store’s chair and drifted into a nap.

Yeah, you need sleep to have the energy to work.

“Sigh, you sure know how to take it easy—sleeping while leaving all the work to me!”

Muttering quietly, Yudong quickly started doing the work Yezhe was supposed to handle.

But actually, today luck was on Yezhe’s side.

Only for Yezhe.

“Waaah, I want Big Brother, I want Big Brother…”

Unable to find Yezhe, Liuyin spent the whole morning sobbing with tears streaming down her face.

Poor Uncle Wang.

She wouldn’t even eat Candy, refused to go buy Toys, just lay in bed crying.

Zhe’er, you didn’t just pick up a little girl—

You picked up The Little Ancestor.

“Come on, be good, time for Breakfast.”

Liuyin really did cry and scream through the whole morning.

“No! I want Brother to feed me.”

Her cheeks puffed out, head turned away, totally ignoring the Porridge Uncle Wang had made.

“Your brother’s at work, he can’t come back, you stubborn kid.”

The Porridge, by the way, was made with dried fruits Uncle Wang had specially bought at the morning market for Liuyin.

He tried again and again, but Liuyin just wouldn’t take a single bite…

Damn, Yezhe owes me a whole box of smokes for this.

Uncle Wang was at his wits’ end.

He tried coaxing, tricking, even scaring her…

Nothing worked.

No wonder, the kid Yezhe brought back was stubborn as a mule.

Uncle Wang said nothing, just sat at the door smoking.

“Oi, little brat, want to hear some stories about your brother?”

Flicking away his cigarette, Uncle Wang thought up a sure-fire way to get Liuyin to eat.

Sure enough, Liuyin perked right up.

“I want to hear, I want to hear!” At the mention of Yezhe, Liuyin instantly stopped crying and fussing.

“Drink your Porridge and I’ll tell you.”

“Okay!”

My goodness—

With Uncle Wang watching, Liuyin downed the entire bowl of Porridge in one go…

“Alright then, let me tell you, huh.”

“Achoo!” a loud sneeze.

“Mhm, is the boss here yet?”

“Nope, keep sleeping, take your time. When he comes I’ll rat you out!”

That line jolted Yezhe awake instantly.

“No no, I’ll help you with work tomorrow, alright?”

……

“The day after too, it’s all on me.”

……

“Egg Cake, I’ll buy Egg Cake for you, okay?”

“Now we’re talking.”

Alright, alright.

“Sigh, some people—no money in their pockets, but their mouths sure are greedy.”

“Who are you talking about?”

Yudong looked up sharply, activating her glare skill.

“See if I help you next time!”

“Sorry, sorry, I’ll behave, jeez…”

This chapter is terrible… Didn’t set up Ziyi’s storyline, and the daily life scenes are all scattered…

Please, everyone, leave a like, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
