Chapter 476: Absolutely No Second Time
Giving up, Xiaomuqing lay on the bed, turned on the air conditioning, covered herself with a small blanket, and completely stopped thinking. If her good brother knew nothing, then she wouldn’t have to do anything, and if he knew something, she still shouldn’t do anything. She’d just play dumb and muddle through, it was very simple. Speaking of which, this was Xiaomuqing’s ‘traditional skill’, when encountering something, she would play dumb and muddle through. There’s a saying that you can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. As long as she pretended well enough, her good brother wouldn’t be able to do anything to her, and her own image could still be preserved. With this thought, Xiaomuqing put down her phone, pulled up the blanket, closed her eyes, and took a short nap. Because she slept late last night and was a bit tired, she slept for a long time. When she opened her eyes again, she felt completely dazed. “Ah~” Xiaomuqing yawned widely, blinked, and looked around in a daze. It took a few seconds before she realized she was in her own room. She still wanted to sleep, feeling like she couldn’t sleep enough no matter how much she slept. Turning her head, Xiaomuqing picked up her phone to check the time. After thinking about it, she decided to get up. If she kept sleeping, it would definitely affect her sleep tonight. She got up, turned off the air conditioning, and went out of the room to get some water. On the way, she opened the curtains to let the sunlight into the room. It was at this moment that Xiaomuqing glanced at her WeChat and found that her good brother had sent her a message while she was sleeping. Perhaps because she slept very soundly, she didn’t notice even though he was paying special attention to her. Ye Ziming: “Does your leg still hurt?” She opened the chat window, and the first thing she saw was this sentence, followed by a sticker, sent a few minutes later, asking if she was sleeping. Coincidentally, the moment Xiaomuqing saw this message, she immediately misunderstood it as asking if any other part of her hurt. Uh… it didn’t hurt, it just felt a bit strange, more psychological than physical. Thinking about it, Xiaomuqing couldn’t help but blush a little, and she didn’t know how to reply, so she thought for a moment and decided not to reply, pretending she didn’t see it. There was still some time before the end of the summer vacation, and university freshmen start even later. If we count everything, this summer vacation is about three months long. During this period, she was still bored. There were no assignments and nothing to do. She had already prepared everything she needed for school and was just waiting to report for school. Speaking of which, Ye Ziming seemed to be busy with something during this period. Several times when Xiaomuqing went to find him, he said he wasn’t home and was out. Out of curiosity, she asked Ye Mengze and Li Muning, and their answers were: “I don’t know, he didn’t say.” “He drove out early these past few days and only comes back at night.” Emmmm, it’s impossible to say she didn’t care, especially after that incident. Xiaomuqing felt that something had changed between her and her good brother. Originally, that night, she helped him solve his “problem” because she saw how uncomfortable he was and how much he seemed to need it. Logically, after that, she shouldn’t have thought about those things anymore, and her relationship with her good brother would have “returned to normal,” meaning there wouldn’t be a second time. But after interacting with him these past few days, she was surprised to find that her good brother still seemed to have those kinds of thoughts. Although he didn’t say it directly, she could vaguely feel it. How strange. She had already given him her first time, so why did he still want to do that? Even stranger, sometimes when she recalled what happened that night, she couldn’t help but blush and her heart beat faster, followed by a slight physical sensation. Her first time was painful, that was true, but apart from the pain, there was also a very memorable and indescribable wondrous feeling, a novel experience she had never had before. “Mmm, no!” Xiaomuqing’s eyes widened suddenly as she was lost in thought. Blushing, she muttered to herself and sat up in bed hugging a pillow, her expression clearly flustered. She felt that she was becoming strange, and something was developing in an indescribable direction, a bottomless abyss. “No, no, that kind of thing absolutely cannot happen a second time!” To prevent herself from becoming even stranger, Xiaomuqing made a decision in her heart while brushing her teeth and washing her face: she would no longer give her good brother a chance. Doing it once behind her parents’ backs was already very wrong. If it happened again, she really didn’t know how she would face them. She felt an indescribable guilty conscience and sense of guilt. Therefore, as an obedient child, she had to hold the line this time! With that thought, Xiaomuqing had finished washing up, changed into summer clothes, a t-shirt and shorts, and went downstairs to eat breakfast, preparing to go out and play with her good brother. Today, she wanted to ask him directly what he had been doing these past few days, why he wasn’t home from time to time, and what he was doing outside. Could it be a new girlfriend? That’s unlikely. With his strange XP system, lolis would be arrested. “Brother, morning.” Going downstairs, she met her brother and greeted him simply. “Mm, morning.” Lin Qiwen, still sleepy, was in his pajamas and waved to his sister with a yawn, then rubbed his eyes and walked towards the dining room. Breakfast today was a sandwich for each person, with fried egg, ham, cucumber slices, and shredded pork, topped with salad dressing or ketchup. Simple but filling, there was no need to worry about nutrition. In addition, there was some soy milk delivered in the morning. While eating breakfast, Lin Qiwen took out his phone and was browsing Bilibili. Xiaomuqing was a little curious, and while gnawing on her sandwich, she leaned over to see what her brother was watching. “Brother, what are you watching?” “Nothing, just browsing casually.” After watching one video, Lin Qiwen was about to swipe to the next one when he suddenly remembered something. So he clicked on his personal center and then on his watch history. “Little sister, I think you should watch this video, so you don’t get tricked one day.” “?” Under Xiaomuqing’s confused gaze, Lin Qiwen clicked on a certain video, then turned up the volume slightly, playing it specifically for her. As the video played, Meng Yue and Lin Cong next to him had different expressions, as did Xiaomuqing’s other two brothers. The title of the video was “How Absurd is Drunken Indiscretion?” The video was very short, only about a minute long. It explained that when people drink alcohol and their blood alcohol content reaches a certain level, it affects their nervous system, and their self-control and judgment will decrease. In this situation, let alone anything intimate happening, people would have difficulty feeling any desire at all, or would basically be unable to do anything. Simply put, being drunk is like having a debuff, and you can’t “do it.” So, all so-called drunken indiscretions are either premeditated or because someone had the desire and the guts, but hadn’t acted on it yet. After the video finished, Lin Qiwen seemed unfazed by any awkwardness and said earnestly to Xiaomuqing, “See? Girls must protect themselves when they are out. Don’t let anyone persuade you to drink, unless your brothers are there.”
