Chapter 353: Chapter 354 Siblings Who Look Like A Couple
Translator: Doggotranslation
“Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yuan, I’m calling you. Stop. Why are you walking so fast… Ouch!”
The bratty girl closed the door forcefully. It just happened to shut on my foot. Hearing that I screamed in pain, a flash of panic appeared on her face. But almost immediately, she noticed that I was faking it, so she said angrily, “You deserve it! It would be much better if it broke your leg!”
The bratty girl’s nasal voice was very obvious, and her voice was a little hoarse. It was a sign of catching a cold. Before I could ask, she kicked my shin severely. It was so painful that I had to retract my foot that was blocking the door. Then she took the opportunity to close the door, completely shutting me outside of my room…
No matter how I knocked on the door, she just would not open it.
Chu Yuan hated me for not keeping my promise the most. So she was definitely angry that I didn’t come back last night…
Looking back, I noticed that Dong Xiaoye and Dongfang Lianren both sneered at me coldly, making me feel very embarrassed. To save myself from the embarrassment, I pretended to be dumb and said, “The kid at the rebellious period is really unreasonable, I don’t know what I did that offended her this time again…”
“You know exactly how you offended her,” Dong Xiaoye snorted scornfully. After she took a few sips of her soy milk, she said lightly, “Yuan Yuan is already kind enough, otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to stand here. If it were me, I would definitely kick the liar out of the flat. After all, this liar doesn’t like to come home anyway, so he can just do whatever he wants outside of the flat, lest he would make people worry about him.”
“I also wanted to come home early, but I drank some wine last night, and the rain was a bit heavy. Ziyuan was worried about my safety, so she asked me to stay for a while and waited for the rain to stop. We chatted and drank some wine again for a while. Then in the end, because I didn’t pay enough attention, I got too drunk and fell asleep…” If someone asked me who I despised the most in this world, I would tell that person without any hesitation that it would be me…
I hated lying, because a lie would always inevitably be covered by more lies. In this endless vicious circle, people would eventually be eroded by lies… But apart from this, how else could I explain to them? I couldn’t just tell my little sister that I didn’t keep my promise because her Elder Sister Ziyuan seduced me, and I could not resist the temptation and had a sext with her, could I?
Chu Yuan was secretly eavesdropping from inside the door. The reflection on the TV screen clearly showed that the door of the room had been opened.
As if Dong Xiaoye wanted to incite a war in my flat deliberately, she said provokingly, “A single man and a single woman staying in a hotel room just chatting and drinking? Who would believe that? If you were not doing anything shameful, why would you switch off your phone?”
“So according to you, when a single man stays with a single woman, something would definitely happen?” I cursed myself for being shameless secretly and argued while enduring my embarrassment, “I have stayed in the same room with you for many nights, and we also drank beer many times together, but why aren’t you pregnant with my child?”
If Dong Xiaoye could still stay calm after hearing this, she would not be the Dong Xiaoye I knew. Smacking the table very hard, she was both angry and embarrassed. “You are pregnant with my child!”
The entire living room instantly fell into dead silence. After a while, not only Dongfang, but Chu Yuan who was eavesdropping in the room also couldn’t help laughing out loud. Sister Tiger was so angry that the words she said didn’t make any sense at all. However, because of her, the tension in the room was completely gone.
“I mean it’s the same thing whether I’m pregnant or you are pregnant…”
“No, that’s not what I mean. I, I was just so angry that I said it wrong!”
A small joke would ease tension in the room quickly, but too much would only make Sister Tiger want to hit me. While Chu Yuan was feeling much better now, I sat down on the place where Chu Yuan was originally sitting, picked up the breakfast that Chu Yuan half ate, and began to eat the breakfast, trying to distract everyone’s attention.
Seeing the expression of Dongfang, who was sitting next to me, froze suddenly, I asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing…” Dongfang sniffed twice inexplicably, and her brows were pressed closer tightly. Only after a moment, did her attention finally focus on my hands, “Ah! That breakfast was Chu Yuan’s, and she was just eating it…”
I thought this was the reason why she frowned, but it turned out that it was not…
“Yes? Didn’t she finish eating already? I thought she didn’t want to eat anymore,” I didn’t know why Dongfang Lianren would be surprised that I would eat Chu Yuan’s leftovers. I could only guess that she, who was born into a rich family, probably always threw away the leftovers.
Anyway, I didn’t keep her surprised expression in mind. While carrying on eating, I answered Dong Xiaoye’s question, “Ziyuan switched off my phone after I fell asleep. Anyway, after I fell asleep, there was no point in keeping my phone on. Besides, what if someone called, how do you want her, a girl, to explain it…”
Ziyuan was no longer in the hotel room when I woke up. Those were just my guesses. But there was one thing that I was sure of, that was, she definitely switched off my phone deliberately.
“We haven’t seen each other for five years, so I completely forgot that my alcohol tolerance is very low when chatting and drinking with her. I promise that I definitely won’t do it again.”
‘Yes, I definitely won’t do it again.’ I decided firmly, and the expressions in my eyes also became very determined. Seeing me looking at her like this while making such a promise to her, Dong Xiaoye felt so embarrassed that she almost hit me, “I’m not your girlfriend, why do you need to make such a promise to me? ”
“Elder Sister Xiaoye, he was just looking at you, but the words he said are for Yuan Yuan,” Dongfang little brat rolled her eyes at me and said teasingly, “You are clearly siblings, but your relationship is much closer than a couple. Although you stayed out all night, there is really no need for you to feel guilty and make a promise to your little sister like her husband, right?
“And Yuan Yuan… She was like a dissatisfied housewife, who had just discovered that her husband was cheating on her. Not only was she not able to fall asleep last night, but she repeatedly went downstairs this morning to check if you were back or not. Because of that, she even caught a cold…”
She deliberately said it out loud. Clearly, she wanted Chu Yuan to hear it as well. Chu Yuan knew that Dongfang had noticed that she was eavesdropping, and she was deliberately teasing her, so she hurriedly closed the door.
I couldn’t help but blush. Dongfang was right. It seemed like I had overreacted. I was an adult after all, and Chu Yuan was just a kid. It was very normal for an adult to stay out all night. Why would I need to explain it to Chu Yuan? Even if I really needed to explain, the person I should explain to should be Liusu.
“You bratty girl, how can you describe Yuan Yuan this way? Yuan Yuan couldn’t sleep last night because she was worried that a certain irresponsible guy might have an accident while driving on a rainy night. It was the worries that kept her up all night. Now she was angry because this irresponsible guy came back like nothing had happened, he didn’t know that Yuan Yuan had been worried to death last night.”
Dong Xiaoye glared at me and said, the blush on her face still hadn’t disappeared, “This irresponsible guy has become accustomed to lying, just like he used to lie to me. I’ve just gotten to know him for a month, but he has already lied to me many times. Based on this, I can imagine how many times he had lied to Yuan Yuan in the past! So it is understandable that Yuan Yuan would be angry!”
‘You are you, Chu Yuan is Chu Yuan, I seldom fool her!’ I really wanted to say this to Sister Tiger, but I didn’t dare to, because I knew that she would definitely kick me if I said this to her.
“I don’t know if Yuan Yuan and I really look like a couple or not, but why do I feel like you are much angrier than Yuan Yuan? What? Are you worried about me and couldn’t sleep all night last night as well?”
I was just joking, but after I said it, I noticed that there was a flash of panic in her eyes…
“It’s none of your business whether I could sleep last night or not! I am just curious if Xue Ziyuan is the Third Lady or not, and I want to wait for you to come back and ask you!”
Uh… Sister Tiger really stayed up all night last night as well…
I felt even more guilty, not only just towards Chu Yuan, but also towards Dong Xiaoye…
It was very likely that Ziyuan was the Third Lady, but she did not admit it directly in front of me. And compared to this question, I was more confused about why she wanted to… In short, whenever Ziyuan was mentioned, my mind would be in a muddle, “Sister Xiaoye, I’m sorry. Please accept this as my apology…”
I picked up the remaining half bowl of soy milk I drank and held it with both hands before Dong Xiaoye respectfully. She turned her head in a huff and said angrily, “No! I will not forgive you, I’m going to sleep!”
After that, she got up and walked to Chu Yuan’s room.
“Are you not going to work?” I said in surprise.
“It’s my day off!”
“Then why don’t you go home? Why are you sleeping here?”
“Now this is my home!” Dong Xiaoye slammed the door heavily and shouted from the room angrily, “Don’t forget what my mission is. Among all your girlfriends, I’m the only one that is currently living with you now!”
Among all my girlfriends… What was Sister Tiger talking about? Clearly, I only had one girlfriend, and that was Liusu.
