"Xixi, why are you eating so little today?"
In the dining room, stepmother Ye Qingmei noticed Ye Wenxi only took a couple bites before putting down her chopsticks and couldn't help showing concern.
Perhaps because her relationship with Qin Chuan had advanced a step further, Ye Wenxi's attitude towards her mother was no longer as cold as it was a few days ago.
Facing her mother's concern, she responded with a smile: "Because I already ate a bit, I'm really full."
While saying this, she intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Qin Chuan.
"Cough cough cough..."
Qin Chuan was startled and choked on the porridge he was drinking, his old face instantly turning red.
He hadn't expected Ye Wenxi to say such words in front of her stepmother.
"First thing in the morning, what did you eat?" Stepmother scolded Ye Wenxi with a playful glare.
"I had a deep-fried dough stick and drank some soy milk."
Ye Wenxi responded openly and didn't forget to mention Qin Chuan: "Last night I said I wanted it, so big brother got up early to buy it for me, feeding me till I'm full."
Qin Chuan, hearing this, wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
This stepsister is too bold, dares to say anything.
If stepmother discovers anything, could he still stay in this house?
Fortunately, stepmother seemed not to notice any clues, only playfully rebuked Ye Wenxi: "You little girl, just know how to order Xiao Chuan around."
After saying that, she didn't forget to remind Qin Chuan: "Xiao Chuan, don't spoil her in the future. If she wants to eat, tell her to go downstairs and buy it herself."
"No, no problem Mei Aunty, it's just a couple steps away." Qin Chuan said while drinking porridge, forcing himself to seem relaxed.
Ye Wenxi, on the other hand, said proudly: "I just want to eat what big brother Xiao Chuan buys for me, I won't eat anyone else's."
At this point, Ye Wenxi's face also turned red involuntarily.
Stepmother glanced at her in a helpless manner: "You, you, I've spoiled you."
"Bleh bleh bleh..."
Ye Wenxi stuck out her tongue and made a playful face at her stepmother, with a hint of provocation.
Stepmother laughed and lightly tapped her head with the tip of her chopsticks.
Ye Wenxi immediately complained to Qin Chuan: "Brother Xiao Chuan, my mom hit me, stand up for me."
"I raised you so big, hitting you twice is not okay, huh?" Stepmother was amused by her, raising her chopsticks and lightly tapping her head again.
"Ouch..."
Ye Wenxi acted spoiled, feigning misery.
Feeling the warm family atmosphere, Qin Chuan smiled silently, only feeling a warmth inside his heart.
The breakfast ended amidst the playful bickering between mother and daughter.
Qin Chuan and Ye Wenxi left home together to go to school.
In September, Jiang City was intensely hot, already like a huge furnace.
After walking a few steps, sweat appeared around Ye Wenxi's neck.
Once on the No. 5 bus, Ye Wenxi embraced Qin Chuan without a care, treating him like a human handrail.
The two on the bus looked like a young couple deeply in love, intimately close and blissfully happy.
Qin Chuan was absorbed in Ye Wenxi's embrace, savoring the scent of a young girl infiltrating his senses, feeling quite good.
And so, the two cuddled as they arrived at the school bus stop.
As soon as they got off, Qin Chuan noticed a pure and lovely girl standing at the bus stop.
Su Qian, upon spotting the two, showed a bright smile.
Like a considerate neighbor's daughter, making people feel as warm as spring.
Su Qian seemed unfazed by their sibling closeness.
Seeing Qin Chuan getting off the bus, she stood by his other side and linked her arm with his.
"Stay away from my brother, you're so annoying."
Su Qian didn't care, but Ye Wenxi became jealous, puffing her cheeks like she had walnuts stuck inside.
Her pursed lips could hang a bottle of soy sauce.
"Hehe... I won't, just to annoy you, just to annoy you."
Su Qian deliberately teased.
Hearing this, Ye Wenxi immediately reached out her small hand and tickled Su Qian's ribs.
"Ye Wenxi, you're cheating, aha aha aha..."
Su Qian laughed uncontrollably from the tickling until she begged for mercy, at which point Ye Wenxi was satisfied and let her go.
"Let's see if you dare to compete with me for my brother again." Ye Wenxi raised her proud chin, like a victorious female general.
Su Qian smiled lightly but then brazenly linked Qin Chuan's arm again.
Watching the three play around, passing classmates were unknowingly grinding their teeth.
"Why, those two school beauties are actually trying to please this guy?"
"Smoke rising from the ancestral tomb is fine, but this guy's ancestral tomb smoked twice?"
"Actually, not just twice, the school beauty cried outside the gate for him the other day too."
In the mere second week of school, Qin Chuan inadvertently became a hot topic among classmates, of course, envy and jealousy were the most common sentiments.
For this, Qin Chuan didn't have much feeling, as he continued doing what he should do.
"Have you two had breakfast? Do you want to go to the cafeteria for some food together?"
After their playful bickering, Su Qian rarely became serious.
For some reason, hearing the word 'breakfast' made Qin Chuan feel inexplicably guilty.
Sure enough, Ye Wenxi didn't even pause before answering, "I did, today I had deep-fried dough sticks and soy milk."
"Oh?"
Unlike the conservative stepmother, Su Qian immediately noticed something was off.
"Was the soy milk tasty?" Su Qian asked with a smile.
Ye Wenxi assumed Su Qian hadn't noticed and became bolder: "Of course, I wish I could drink it every day."
As she said this, Ye Wenxi softly brushed her chest against Qin Chuan's arm.
Qin Chuan's heart bitterly chuckled.
"Really? Then I must try it next time too."
Su Qian's eyes flashed with cunning and she lightly brushed her chest against Qin Chuan's arm as well, with a coquettish expression.
"Hehe..."
Hearing this, Ye Wenxi smiled smugly: "Then you'll probably be disappointed, that soy milk isn't something you can drink just because you want to."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Su Qian smiled without giving anything away: "Would you mind sharing some with me? I'm really curious if it's as good as you say."
"No way am I sharing with you, you little flirt."
Ye Wenxi's face was full of refusal, secretly thinking with satisfaction, big brother Xiao Chuan's soy milk is only for me, Su Qian can forget about it.
"Big brother Xiao Chuan, see how stingy Xixi is, why don't you share a little with me?"
Su Qian said coquettishly.
Ye Wenxi heard this, unconcerned, feeling she had already moved ahead of Su Qian and didn't fear her taking Qin Chuan away.
Afterward, Ye Wenxi probably drank too much soy milk, feeling a bit urgent to pee, proposed to go to the restroom with Su Qian.
But was rejected by Su Qian.
"No seducing big brother Xiao Chuan, if I find out, you'll be in trouble, little flirt!" Ye Wenxi pretended to threaten fiercely.
But clearly, her threats had no real effect.
As soon as she entered the restroom, Su Qian stuck herself onto Qin Chuan, giving him a warm kiss.
Anyway, nobody else was around, so she acted more boldly.
"Big brother Xiao Chuan, I've had the deep-fried dough stick, but I haven't tried the soy milk yet."
Su Qian whispered by Qin Chuan's ear, exhaling a warm, moist breath: "Feed me some too, okay? One for the mouth, one for the other mouth..."
