Chapter 88

"..."

Crack

The door of the apartment was opened.

"Little one, I'm back!"

Samson Nan's voice came from the entrance.

"I'm so tired... What are you doing there?"

He bent down to change his shoes while speaking.

"..."

She stood still, with her back facing him.

"Yuyu?"

Seeing her silence, he walked towards her.

"What is this...?"

As he approached, he noticed the scattered books on the ground.

He picked up one of them.

"From today onwards, do shameful things with younger sister..."

He stopped halfway through reading.

Glancing at the backpack on the floor, he seemed to understand something in an instant.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait!"

He suddenly panicked and quickly threw the book away.

"Yuyu, um, you need to let me explain!"

"Step aside."

She lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly.

"Huh?"

He was stunned for a moment.

"Where are you going so late?"

"Back home."

She said and walked past him without hesitation.

"Yuyu, wait!"

He turned around and grabbed her hand.

"Don't touch me!"

She suddenly shouted.

"I didn't touch you, I didn't touch..."

Startled by her shout, he quickly raised his hands.

"..."

Upon closer inspection, he realized that her face had turned red.

With a vacant look in her eyes, she glanced at him and then looked aside.

Awkward...

"Disgusting..."

"Huh?"

"It's all my sister's books..."

Her voice trembled and became quieter.

"What are you thinking..."

"Me? No, no, no!"

He grabbed his head forcefully.

"Yuyu, it's definitely not what you think."

How should he explain to her...

"If I say it, you might not believe it, but these erotic books are not mine."

"Who would believe that..."

She didn't look at him and muttered softly.

"..."

Well, it's no use saying these things when caught red-handed, isn't it?

Good job, Yuyu. You've caught him this time...

"Yuyu, please speak with a clear conscience. Is your brother that kind of person?"

"..."

She pondered for a moment and turned her head.

She raised her wrist, covering her mouth slightly.

"Who knows what you really think of me..."

"Hey..."

So, his years of accumulated reputation still couldn't convince her more than a few erotic books?

Feeling frustrated...

"Yuyu, I can only say this much. Whether you believe it or not is up to you..."

Helpless, he bent down and picked up the scattered books.

Looking at the titles... Well, he lost...

He didn't know where Yudong got them from...

As he looked up, he noticed that Raina Nan was drooping her eyelids, staring at him.

It was a look of disgust, as if she were avoiding garbage...

"Bark!"

In the quiet living room, the only sound was the whimpering of the dog.

Silently, he put all the books back into the backpack and stood up.

"Huh?"

Seeing him move, Raina Nan instinctively took two steps back.

"Little one, why are you so nervous..."

He sighed and hung the backpack on the coat rack.

"It's so late, I think you should stay here."

"It's none of your business..."

She muttered, seemingly still wanting to leave.

"Well, if that's the case, just be careful on your way back."

He said thoughtfully.

"What are you talking about..."

"Don't you know?"

He lowered his voice slightly.

"The news reported a few days ago that an escaped prisoner from the nearby prison is still on the loose!"

"Who are you trying to scare..."

"Hey, I'm not making it up. The newspaper clearly stated it. They said this guy is a real pervert! He only targets high school girls, and his acts involve rape, murder, and dismemberment. It's really horrifying!"

"..."

As he said that, she froze in place.

"Don't worry~ Just be careful on your way back, in case you don't run into anyone, right?"

"..."

Her gaze drifted left and right, hesitating.

After a moment, she put down the shoes in her hands.

"Oh, you're not leaving?"

"..."

She raised her head and glared at him fiercely.

"Not leaving!"

"I see."

He said, smiling helplessly.

"Then you'll have to stay at my humble abode for the night."

"Hmph..."

She snorted and walked past him.

She sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.

...

Samson Nan walked around a bit and sat down next to her.

She paused, then moved over to the side.

The two of them sat on opposite ends of the sofa, without saying a word, with some distance between them.

The only sound that could be heard was the voice of the host on TV.

...

...

"Yuyu, lower the volume a bit. The neighbors are going to come knocking on the door soon."

He couldn't help but speak first.

"..."

She didn't respond, curled up on the sofa with her knees pulled to her chest.

After a moment, she picked up the remote and pressed it twice.

...

"So, school is starting soon. Have you finished your homework?"

"Yeah."

"Really..."

...

"Do you want some milk? Shall I heat up a cup for you?"

"No."

The terrifying topic terminator...

"Then go take a shower first and go to bed early."

"..."

She looked at the TV and hesitated for a moment.

"You go first..."

"That works too."

He stood up.

"Oh, by the way, I'm going to do laundry later. Do you want me to wash your socks?"

"..."

She glanced at him from the corner of her eye and whispered:

"I'll do it myself..."

"Little one, you're not still concerned about those books just now, are you?"

He seemed to have noticed her concern.

"What do you think of your brother... Besides..."

He scratched his cheek.

"I can't even remember how many socks and underwear I washed for you when you were little~"

"That was when I was little, I didn't know!"

She suddenly raised her voice and looked up at him.

"..."

Then she seemed to realize something and averted her gaze.

"What do you understand now?"

He smiled lightly and looked at her like that.

"Nothing, nothing..."

She muttered softly, her ears turning crimson.

She almost got caught up in his words...

"Go to bed early~"

He said, wearing slippers and walking towards the bathroom.

It didn't take long before the sound of the shower could be heard.

"..."

Only then did she calm down a bit.

She pat her cheeks with her hands.

Brother...

What exactly is he thinking?

...

...

"Yuyu."

In the early morning, Samson Nan knocked on her door.

No response.

"I'm coming in."

He said, and opened the door.

"Huh?"

The bed was in a mess, but there was no sign of her.

...

...

On the other side.

She sat on a bench in the park.

Looking left and right, probably because it was too early, there weren't many people in the park, just some elderly people doing morning exercises, three or five of them gathered together, playing tai chi with a portable radio.

The morning sunlight was warm and comfortable on her body.

She rubbed her tired eyes. It seems that she didn't sleep well last night...

"Xiao~yu~er~"

A voice came from behind.

She turned around.

The person was already standing in front of her...

It was Yin Li Xia, she smiled lightly and waved at her.

"Have you been waiting long?"

"No, I just arrived too."

"Is that so~"

She said, sitting next to Raina Nan.

"It's really rare ~ that you actually invited me out."

"......"

She turned her face to the side and smiled with narrowed eyes.

"Are you in trouble?"

"Well..."

She hesitated and glanced at her.

The only person she could think of to confide in right now was the person in front of her...

"I want to discuss something with you..."
