So, You’re the Henpecked One? 68

Chapter 68: IF Extra 2: My Sister’s Sister is My Sister

Although the little sister seemed a little cold to her, Lin Zhao still liked to stick to her. At the same time, she couldn’t help but share more of her own things with her, so that the little sister could know her better!

Lin Zhao thought happily in her heart, and even the smile on her face grew even brighter.

Hearing her chattering, Chu Xihuan was speechless.

Who wants to know so much about her? She’s just a little follower.

Chu Xihuan complained in her heart, but seeing that person’s inability to hide anything on her face, she in the end did not speak, just listened silently.

“Sister~ I like to eat candied haws. Do you like them~” Lin Zhao blinked, her mouth split into a foolish grin as she circled Chu Xihuan.

Chu Xihuan said, “…So-so. They’re bad for your teeth.” So she rarely ate them.

Hearing that they were bad for her teeth, Lin Zhao silently covered her mouth and muttered, “My mother always makes me brush my teeth well after I eat them. Maybe they won’t be bad for my teeth.”

She didn’t want to lose any more teeth. It was not so convenient to eat with fewer teeth, and it was not so fragrant.

Chu Xihuan was silent. Although this could prevent bad teeth, couldn’t she just control herself and eat less to reduce this risk?

She thought this in her heart, but seeing the child’s sweet smile, she silently swallowed her words.

It seemed that this person couldn’t eat less, or how could she look so sweet.

“Sister~ Then do you like to eat fish? The kind with a crispy, fragrant skin!” Lin Zhao changed the subject and asked, her eyes eagerly waiting for Chu Xihuan’s answer.

Chu Xihuan was speechless. It seemed that this person liked to eat fish, especially the kind that was similar to braised fish.

“It’s alright. My mother said that eating more fish will make your brain smarter,” Chu Xihuan said. Although the family preferred to eat steamed fish, it was not that they couldn’t eat braised fish. After all, even if you liked to eat fish, you still needed to change the cooking method from time to time.

Hearing Chu Xihuan’s words, Lin Zhao suddenly blinked, but did not speak.

Seeing her like this, Chu Xihuan frowned slightly. “What’s wrong? If you have something to say, just say it.”

“Eating fish can make your head smarter?” Lin Zhao repeated.

“Naturally. My mother’s words are never wrong!” Chu Xihuan’s chin was slightly raised, and she said with a bit of a proud air.

Lin Zhao was dazed and said blankly, “But why does my mother always scold me for having no brain? I’ve eaten a lot of fish!”

“Could it be that those fish were stupid fish?”

Chu Xihuan was speechless.

She looked at the dazed person in front of her and frowned. “You let those fish die in vain?”

It was true. This little follower didn’t seem very smart. But it was alright. A little follower didn’t need to be too smart. It was enough to be useful.

Lin Zhao’s brow furrowed slightly, and she pouted. “They didn’t die in vain. They were delicious.”

She snorted and was unwilling to admit it. It must be that those fish were all stupid fish! That’s why she didn’t eat her brain smart!

Chu Xihuan was choked by her words. It was good. Her mother always said that being able to eat was a blessing. Seeing that she was quite happy.

The two of them were now in a pavilion built on a lotus pond. There were maids around, always watching the situation to prevent any accidents. It was just April, not long after it had warmed up, and the lotus flowers had only just sprouted a small bud. The fish below were swimming and playing, a perfect spot.

Chu Xihuan took the fish food on the side and sprinkled it down, and as she wished, she saw the fish below swim over and start to fight for it. Her eyes couldn’t help but curve up, and her expression was pleasant.

Seeing this, Lin Zhao also quickly came over. She knelt on the seat, her hands on the railing, and looked down at the fish below. “Sister, are the fish you eat the ones below? Are they all very smart?” she asked with a pitiful expression.

They seemed to be very smart. They all knew to come over when there was food!

“No, these fish are raised for viewing, not for eating,” Chu Xihuan replied with some patience. At the end, feeling that this person might be bored if she only cared about herself, she gave her a portion of the fish food. “Here, be careful when you feed them. Don’t fall into the water.”

Lin Zhao’s eyes were very bright. She took the fish food and smiled, her eyes curved. “Sister, you’re so nice!”

I like to play with sister even more!

Chu Xihuan snorted softly. She naturally knew that she was very nice.

Lin Zhao mimicked Chu Xihuan’s actions and sprinkled the fish food down. Seeing the fish splashing and fighting for the food, her hand would go wherever she sprinkled the fish, and the fish would go wherever she went.

Mmm, they don’t look too smart.

“Little sister!”

Just as Lin Zhao was happily feeding the fish and occasionally staring at Chu Xihuan, she suddenly heard a voice behind them. She was taken aback for a moment and turned to look, only to see a pretty sister who was taller than her and Chu Xihuan, and a sister who looked about the same height as Chu Xihuan.

She subconsciously looked down at herself and couldn’t help but pout.

She was the shortest among them!

She would definitely have to eat more and grow taller in the future!

Chu Xihuan turned around and saw her second sister coming over with Cao Jing.

“I just went to find mother, and Cao Jing and the others also came over. I guessed you would be here. I’ve brought her to you,” Chu Ningyi’s eyes curved into a warm smile, and her gaze couldn’t help but fall on Lin Zhao beside Chu Xihuan, a hint of confusion in her eyes, clearly not knowing whose child this was.

But it was rare for her little sister to be willing to let the other person stay by her side, especially since she looked younger than her.

“Xixi,” Cao Jing called Chu Xihuan’s name, but her gaze kept falling on Lin Zhao.

“Second sister, Cao Jing,” Chu Xihuan also greeted them with a smile. “Come and see. The fish in the pond seem to have gotten much fatter.”

She pointed to the fish in the pond for them to see.

Chu Ningyi and the others also came over and looked at the fish in the pond. “Little sister, you should feed them less. Mother said that if you keep feeding them like this, they’ll get so fat they can’t swim.”

Cao Jing had already come to Chu Xihuan’s side, just separating Lin Zhao and Chu Xihuan. “There was a little accident on my way out today, so I was late,” she said to Chu Xihuan.

“Mm, it’s fine,” Chu Xihuan turned her head and smiled at Cao Jing.

Lin Zhao, who was on the side, was still holding the fish food Chu Xihuan had given her. She looked at Chu Xihuan, who was surrounded by the two of them, and at them talking and laughing, and she couldn’t get a word in. Suddenly, she felt a little wronged.

Chu Xihuan had clearly said that she could find her to play, but now she wasn’t playing with her at all.

She pouted, very wronged, but seeing Chu Xihuan smile so happily, she didn’t dare to call her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she thought of Chu Xihuan saying that she didn’t like crying children and tried to hold them back.

But Chu Xihuan wasn’t just playing with her.

Chu Xihuan, who was talking with her second sister and the others, suddenly remembered that she still had a little follower. Just as she was about to turn around and introduce her to them, she saw the child turn and walk out. She was taken aback for a moment.

“Lin Zhao, where are you going?”

She felt that the most beautiful scenery in this courtyard was here, and nowhere else was as good.

Hearing Chu Xihuan call her name, Lin Zhao’s heart couldn’t help but leap a little, but she still felt a little wronged. She stopped and turned to look at her, pouting and not speaking.

Chu Xihuan was taken aback by her expression, but she also quickly realized that it was her own problem, that she had neglected her.

“I’m sorry. I’m not used to it yet,” in order to comfort her little follower, Chu Xihuan came up and took Lin Zhao’s hand, then started to introduce her. “This is my second sister, Chu Ningyi. This is Cao Jing, the daughter of my father’s colleague.”

“Second sister, Cao Jing, her name is Lin Zhao, my new little follower,” when she said this, Chu Xihuan’s chin was slightly raised, and she was quite domineering.

Lin Zhao, whose hand was being held by Chu Xihuan, had almost forgotten her previous grievance. Her eyes lit up, and her whole person visibly began to shine.

Little follower?

Sister is not wrong. I’m younger than her, so I’m a little follower.

Seeing Chu Xihuan pay attention to her, Lin Zhao’s mouth split into a grin, and her eyes were almost out of sight. She mimicked Chu Xihuan’s actions and called out, “Second sister, Cao Jing, hello~”

Her tone was very lilting, especially since Chu Xihuan was still holding her hand, which made her heart bubble.

Chu Xihuan’s hand is so soft!

Hearing Lin Zhao also call her “second sister,” Chu Xihuan couldn’t help but turn to her and say very seriously, “That’s my second sister, not your second sister.”

She was her sister!

Lin Zhao blinked at her words.

“Isn’t my sister’s sister my sister?”

“I didn’t call her wrong.”
