It seemed Da Bao had perceived Er Bao’s intentions. He stepped in front of Er Bao and warned him with a very serious tone.
Why did Er Bao’s expression seem increasingly dangerous the more she looked? This was clearly the look of someone itching to spill the beans.
“I understand,” Er Bao replied indifferently, his face still maintaining its cold demeanor, making it difficult to discern his true emotions.
The more he acted like this, the more unsettled Da Bao became. After all, no one could be sure if Er Bao would turn around and report them the next second. Such things were unpredictable.
“If you dare tell Mother, I’ll ask Father to stop teaching you!”
Da Bao thought for a long time and it seemed this was the only way to stop Er Bao from being a traitor.
“I will not say anything.”
He wasn’t that bored. He didn’t go tattling about every little thing. Such actions were always Da Bao’s favorite, and he truly disdained doing them.
As soon as he finished speaking, Er Bao directly turned to tidy up the dirty clothes he had changed out of, placing them in the laundry basket. He even took the time to wipe off the little bit of mud stuck to his shoes.
“Such a waste of effort.” Da Bao scoffed at Er Bao’s actions. Wasn’t this just busywork? If the shoes got dirty, they got dirty. They’d just get dirty again after being washed, so wiping them clean was completely pointless.
Er Bao rolled his eyes. He truly had no regard for hygiene. He didn’t want to end up like Da Bao in the future.
These two brothers now found each other thoroughly irritating. Everything they saw in the other was a flaw.
…
“Sister Feng Jin, what is this delicious drink?”
Lin Yu Wei looked at the red liquid in her cup. It was truly delicious, the best thing she had ever tasted in her life.
She couldn’t help but drink a few more cups. Just as she was about to take another sip, the cup in her hand was snatched away by Chu Chen Yi beside her.
“Hey… what are you doing…”
Lin Yu Wei said unhappily. She hadn’t even had her fill, and the cup was already snatched away. How could she drink any more?
“You’ve already had several cups, and you still want more? This drink is too cold. If you drink too much, you’ll have severe stomach pain. It’s best to drink less.”
In the middle of winter, she was drinking such a cold beverage. Wasn’t she afraid of suffering from stomach pain? Chu Chen Yi held the cup tightly, refusing to return it to Lin Yu Wei.
Feng Jin watched the bickering couple from the side. They were truly amusing. These two felt restless if they didn’t argue for a day. When their argument got heated, it would be intense, leading to a few days of cold war, after which they would resume their bickering.
She truly admired how they managed to argue every day. It was as if they were uncomfortable if they didn’t.
“Although this juice is delicious, it’s also cold. It’s fine to drink more in the summer to relieve heat, but it’s winter now. If such cold things enter your stomach, drinking too much is not beneficial. You should drink less,” Feng Jin said.
Feng Jin was also worried that she might indulge too much and end up with severe stomach pain. It wasn’t impossible, so she followed Chu Chen Yi’s lead and started to persuade Lin Yu Wei.
She was already so impulsive. She was about to become a mother, yet she still drank like Da Bao, unable to stop herself. She truly had a childish disposition.
“Alright then…”
Seeing that Feng Jin had said the same, Lin Yu Wei reluctantly gave up. However, her gaze remained fixed on the bottle of juice, unwilling to shift.
“This is all mine now, so don’t think about it anymore.”
To make Lin Yu Wei completely give up, Chu Chen Yi stepped forward and directly downed the remaining half bottle of juice himself.
“Ah… slow down, at least leave me some…”
Lin Yu Wei watched Chu Chen Yi gulp down all the juice in one go, her heart aching. She quickly urged Chu Chen Yi to leave some for her, not to drink it all.
When Chu Chen Yi put the bottle down again, it was already empty, not a drop of juice left.
“You drank it all?”
There was still half a bottle left. He drank it all in one go. Was he a water buffalo, drinking so much at once?
He had just been sternly lecturing about stomach pain from drinking too much, and here he was, drinking it all in one gulp, not worried about any stomach pain.
Lin Yu Wei’s breath hitched in anger. She told herself to calm down, not to argue with Chu Chen Yi over such a trivial desire. But she was truly unwilling to accept it. She had only had a few sips, and he had drunk it all. How could she not feel heartbroken?
“Only by drinking it can you stop thinking about it.”
If he didn’t drink it, and it remained here, it would be a source of trouble. Given Lin Yu Wei’s nature, she would never give up and would eventually find a way to drink it all.
It was better that he drank it all now. It was indeed quite stable. He had to admit, this stuff tasted really good. It was no wonder Lin Yu Wei couldn’t stop drinking it.
Even after drinking so much, he still hadn’t had enough. If there were more, he could have drunk it all in one go.
Feng Jin shook her head helplessly as she watched the two. Over such a small thing, they could still argue. They were truly something else.
“You two can keep arguing. I’m going back first.”
Deciding not to be a third wheel between them, Feng Jin stood up and prepared to leave. After taking just a few steps, Lin Yu Wei hurried to catch up.
“Sister Feng Jin, I’ll go with you.”
She didn’t want to be alone with Chu Chen Yi. It was better to leave with Sister Feng Jin at this time.
After they had walked a considerable distance, Lin Yu Wei tentatively asked, “Sister Feng Jin, do you have any more of that juice?”
She had only had a few sips before that shameless guy Chu Chen Yi took it away. It was truly too much.
“The juice is really all gone. We didn’t make much to begin with. After giving some to Da Bao and Er Bao, the rest was all for you.”
She was also very helpless about this matter. There was truly nothing she could do. There was only so much, and she couldn’t make any more. Making pure juice in winter was truly a waste.
“It’s really all gone…” Lin Yu Wei grumbled in dissatisfaction. She had been hoping to drink more. It was truly disheartening that it was all gone like this.
It was all Chu Chen Yi’s fault. Why did he have to drink it all? He didn’t even leave her any. He was truly excessive.
“If you want to drink it again, you’ll have to wait until the weather warms up. There aren’t that many fruits to make juice with now.”
She couldn’t get any more even if she wanted to, because there were no fruits available.
“Alas…” Lin Yu Wei sighed helplessly. She had no choice but to accept her fate. She could only think about it. In her dreams, everything would be as she wished.
“Are you still planning to follow me?”
