Bai Ruoxi, who originally hadn’t detected Bai Jinghong at all, suddenly heard the low murmur of “really big.”
Her entire being instantly tensed up.
She suddenly realized the problem.
Her instinct for self-preservation made her cross her arms over her chest, covering the two most critical points.
Then she quickly opened the closet drawer, pulling a pistol directly from within.
“Click-clack!”
Two soft sounds as the bullet chambered.
Bai Ruoxi aimed directly towards the direction of the big bed behind her.
Immersed in the graceful figure, Bai Jinghong felt his scalp go numb.
He quickly raised his hands. “Sis sis sis sis, it’s me, it’s me!”
“Sis, what are you doing! Oh dear!”
Just a second before Bai Ruoxi pulled the trigger, Bai Jinghong hurriedly raised a hand and waved it.
Fearing an accidental discharge, Bai Ruoxi quickly lowered the gun.
Her beautiful face was filled with speechless exasperation.
She placed the gun aside and huffily walked to the bedside, raising her hand to swat Bai Jinghong.
“You little brat, were you trying to scare me to death?”
“Do you realize what could have happened if you’d been just one second slower?”
Bai Ruoxi was truly both angry and helpless.
Couldn’t be helped. Her own little darling, how could she truly do anything to him?
But not teaching him a lesson was definitely not an option.
Although he was being scolded, Bai Jinghong seemed not to hear a single word.
At this moment, he couldn’t help but swallow hard, staring fixedly at the fair, perfect figure before him.
And those peaks that seemed to be taunting him.
Bai Ruoxi had been so startled by Bai Jinghong earlier that she hadn’t noticed she was still uncovered.
And when she came over to hit Bai Jinghong, she’d lowered both hands, no longer covering herself.
Noticing Bai Jinghong’s heated gaze, Bai Ruoxi froze for a moment, then followed his eyes down to her own body.
In the next second, her face instantly flushed red.
“Ah~”
She shrieked, raising a hand to cover herself, while the other hand snatched the blanket and yanked it over Bai Jinghong’s head.
Then she fiercely whacked the lump under the blanket a few times before dashing into the bathroom.
As the bathroom door slammed shut, Bai Jinghong pulled the blanket off, a mischievous grin on his face.
“Sis’s figure is getting better and better!”
“And that pair, too perfect!”
Bai Jinghong’s mind raced.
He had originally thought of using certain underhanded items in the System to make Bai Ruoxi obey him.
But as soon as the thought appeared, he decisively abandoned it.
Bai Ruoxi was different from the others.
The plotline belonging to Bai Ruoxi hadn’t been triggered yet. To Bai Ruoxi, he was still her blood-related younger brother.
But due to various reasons, Bai Ruoxi’s heart already contained his shadow and marks.
If he used other methods and truly did that kind of thing, Bai Ruoxi would likely break down and do something extreme.
Bai Jinghong truly didn’t want to hurt her.
For now, the only way was to advance step by step, slowly entering his sister’s heart, until she was hopelessly entangled.
Once her plotline triggered and her origins became clear, only then could she fully escape her shackles and be with him without any inhibitions!
Pent-up love would erupt. When the time came, his sister would surely love him madly.
“For me, it’s not taboo!” Bai Jinghong smiled, settling back onto the bed.
Bai Jinghong quickly formulated a plan!
“Not leaving today. Gotta drink tonight, gotta pretend to be drunk, gotta sleep in the same bed, set a small goal—kiss for ten minutes!”
Bai Jinghong was scheming about Bai Ruoxi, while Bai Ruoxi in the bathroom was so embarrassed she wished the ground would swallow her up.
How did these absurd things keep happening?
Ever since that time the little scoundrel mistook her for Shen Yaoyao, it had been one thing after another.
Kissed several times, her chest had been touched, she’d been seen while bathing last time, and she’d even slept peacefully in his arms for a whole night.
Lately, many of her dreams had been about doing shameful things with Bai Jinghong.
This made Bai Ruoxi feel that this situation had to be stopped.
And she had taken action, even moving out of the Bai Estate.
But after arriving at the new place, how long had it been? And yet again…
Bai Jinghong seemed to be her predestined nemesis.
Bai Ruoxi sighed. After bathing for a while, she put on a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom.
Bai Jinghong was still lying in bed, but he wasn’t sleeping or doing anything else.
Just sprawled there, face buried.
Seeing him, Bai Ruoxi’s face flushed hot.
Though she kept getting seen completely by him, she just couldn’t feel disgusted—only shyness.
She took out some silk loungewear, changed into it, and looked at Bai Jinghong on the bed again.
He was still in the same position, lying face down, motionless now, but his shoulders were trembling slightly.
Curious, Bai Ruoxi walked over and patted him. “Why are you burying your head?”
Bai Jinghong slowly raised his head and looked at Bai Ruoxi.
Seeing his appearance, Bai Ruoxi jumped in fright. “You… what’s wrong with you?”
Bai Jinghong’s eyes were red right now, and there were even tear stains.
Inwardly, Bai Jinghong was fuming too, cursing to himself, “Dammit, in my panic, I squeezed out way too many eye drops!”
But Bai Jinghong rolled with it, gently wiping his face. “Sis, I’ve been dumped!”
The moment these words left his mouth, Bai Jinghong wished he could slap himself.
How was it that whenever he was around Bai Ruoxi, he kept messing up?
The excuse he’d thought of just moments ago was clearly ‘not feeling well.’
Getting dumped? Someone would actually have to believe that excuse!
But the words were out. Even if he had to force it, he had to make it believable.
“Dumped… dumped?”
Bai Ruoxi sounded like she’d just heard the most unbelievable thing in the world.
Her pretty face was filled with astonishment.
“Yeah!” Bai Jinghong sat up, leaning against the headboard.
Even Bai Jinghong felt a bit awkward.
“Which… which family is she from?” Although Bai Ruoxi found it incredible, she didn’t doubt Bai Jinghong.
After all, he was crying!
“She… she…” Bai Jinghong racked his brain, finally blurting out, “Her name is Wen Chunyu.”
Saying this, Bai Jinghong gave a long sigh, looking utterly dejected.
Then he even grabbed his own hair, sighing in frustration. “I met her in a restroom. I fell in love with her the first moment I saw her.”
“I even treated her to cream puffs. She was very enthusiastic with me at first, too, and even let me have her cherry.”
“And then?” Bai Ruoxi listened intently, her eyes full of sympathy as she looked at Bai Jinghong.
“And then… then I found out we’re actually on opposing sides. It’s very painful!”
Bai Ruoxi sighed and sat down next to Bai Jinghong.
Sitting so close, her faint body fragrance lingered around Bai Jinghong’s nose. That refreshing, heart-soothing scent was utterly intoxicating.
Seeing Bai Jinghong so heartbroken, she, as his older sister, couldn’t just ignore him. “Do you really like her that much?”
Bai Jinghong nodded. “Yeah, she’s my heart and soul!”
When he said this, his eyes were fixed entirely on Bai Ruoxi, as if speaking directly to her.
“Sis, you know me. Whenever I have worries, I always think of finding you.”
“Right now, I’m really agitated. Can you… sleep with me?”
“Ah? Sleep?” Bai Ruoxi covered her mouth, momentarily frozen.
“Sis, just hold me while I sleep, that’s all. If you don’t help me out a bit, I’m afraid this thing might become a psychological block for me.”
While Bai Ruoxi was still stunned, Bai Jinghong sighed again.
“Sigh, I know it’s too hard for you, Sis. Forget it. Let me endure it on my own. Let it be!”
“Life isn’t worth it!”
Saying this, Bai Jinghong turned over, his back to Bai Ruoxi, his shoulders beginning to tremble slightly.
Seeing Bai Jinghong so deeply dejected, Bai Ruoxi’s heart ached. Her thoughts tangled, she momentarily didn’t know what to do.
She was truly afraid of falling too deep herself, which was largely why she kept her distance from Bai Jinghong.
But now, hold him while sleeping?
Bai Ruoxi looked at Bai Jinghong’s back, silent, her heart still fiercely conflicted.
Finally, Bai Ruoxi relented.
She gently lifted the blanket and slowly got into bed.
