After being reborn, who wouldn't want to have a younger sister?

Chapter 508 Youth
Xiao Yangzhi was definitely faking sleep. She was a very light sleeper and would wake up immediately at the slightest sound.

Xu Mingyuan poked her cheek, but Xiao Yangzhi was very good at acting. Pretending to be asleep was a piece of cake for her, and she didn't even blink.

"Have you forgotten what you did last night?"

Xu Mingyuan decided to take the initiative and shift all the blame to Tao Shuxin.

"last night?"

"Hmm, do you remember?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"I remember you hit me!"

Tao Shuxin immediately jumped up, flipped open her pajamas to look at her arm, and saw that it was bruised from being pinched.

You bastard! How cruel of you!

"Keep your voice down. Do you remember why I pinched you?"

"You bastard, you want to watch me take a shower!" Tao Shuxin shouted in a low voice.

“You’re really good at lying. Don’t you know how much you drank last night? I offered to help you to the toilet, but you refused and insisted on going by yourself. Later, you took a cold bath. If I hadn’t barged in, you idiot would have frozen to death,” Xu Mingyuan said.

"Is that true?"

Tao Shuxin scratched her head, vaguely remembering something, but forgetting the specifics of what happened.

Of course, even if it were true, Tao Shuxin would definitely not admit it, as that would be too embarrassing.

"You know perfectly well whether it's true or not," Xu Mingyuan said irritably.

Tao Shuxin was slightly embarrassed and was about to make amends when she noticed Xiao Yangzhi. She immediately hardened her heart and squinted her eyes to question, "Why is Xiao Zhizhi sleeping here?"

"You have the nerve to say that? Have you forgotten how long you were up last night? We had to choke you and force-feed you hangover pills. You're still groggy. If you're too tired, just sleep here."

"But I can't hug you either..."

"Who told you to take the blanket? Little Yangzhi is afraid of the cold."

Xu Mingyuan decisively shifted the blame to the naive Xiao Tao Tao, but once she sobered up, she wouldn't be so easy to fool.

While covering Xiao Yangzhi with a blanket, Xu Mingyuan pinched her, and then his arm was wrapped around her tightly.

"..."

Tao Shuxin didn't say anything, but quietly observed him.

"I'll take another nap."

Xu Mingyuan ignored Xiao Yangzhi and quickly hugged Tao Shuxin first.

"Don't touch me."

Tao Shuxin twisted her body, looking unwilling.

"What's wrong with you? Go back to sleep and don't wake Xiao Yangzhi up. She even did your laundry last night. Be a little more sensible."

Xu Mingyuan didn't know what to do either, so he simply closed his eyes, ignored everything, and followed Xiao Yangzhi's usual move, holding Tao Shuxin tightly and refusing to let go.

"I need to get up..."

"What are you getting up for? Your head must be spinning right now. Go back to sleep and you'll feel better soon."

Ignoring Tao Shuxin's struggles, Xu Mingyuan pretended to be asleep.

Tao Shuxin lay in her cocoon for a while, then stopped moving and quietly drifted off to sleep, her mind a jumble of thoughts, unable to come to any conclusion.

I don't know how much time passed, but I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

When I woke up again, my head was still a little dizzy, but much better than in the morning.

There was no one around anymore. The curtains were pulled open a crack, and the sunlight was neither too warm nor too cold, not too glaring.

As a girl who often sleeps in late, Tao Shuxin guessed it should be around ten o'clock now.

The clothes I threw away last night are now neatly folded and placed by the bed, including my underwear.

Tao Shuxin didn't even need to guess; she knew that Xu Mingyuan, that lazybones, definitely wouldn't wash her clothes. He was used to a good life and would rather throw away dirty clothes than spend time washing them, claiming that time was precious and that he could earn countless sets of clothes with the energy he used to wash them.

But if it's Xiao Yangzhi, Tao Shuxin is a little puzzled. She's such a germaphobe, wouldn't she find it disgusting?
Anyway, Tao Shuxin herself can't accept touching other people's personal clothing, even if it's Xiao Yangzhi who is very clean, she would still mind it a little.

She rustled as she put on her clothes, but feeling that her pants were a bit tight, Tao Shuxin changed back into her pajamas.

In my current state, let alone going shopping, I'd get a scolding when I get home. I might as well stay here for a while and see what shady things Xu Mingyuan and Xiao Yangzhi are up to.

Quietly pushing open the door, they found nothing unusual. Xu Mingyuan and Xiao Yangzhi were sitting at the long table in the hall, leaning against each other and fiddling with their laptops.

Tao Shuxin had seen this scene countless times and didn't find anything strange about it.

However, after experiencing what happened that morning, Tao Shuxin felt a little uneasy.

Little Yangzhi had been clinging to Xu Mingyuan like this, but he not only didn't stop her, it seemed like it had become second nature to him. Tao Shuxin trusted Xu Mingyuan a lot, but that came with conditions.

For example, Xu Mingyuan never puts himself on guard and can resist external temptations, which makes him very trustworthy.

What if it's a small willow branch?
Putting aside her beauty, the important thing is that she's obedient and well-behaved. Can Xu Mingyuan resist her temptation?
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and wash up and eat. There are new toothbrushes in the bathroom," Xu Mingyuan said.

"Oh."

Seeing the two of them glance at her with unpredictable expressions, seemingly just like usual, Tao Shuxin scratched her head and subconsciously went to wash up.

When she came out again, Xiao Yangzhi had already placed the food from the insulated box on the table.

The meal was simple: vegetable porridge, a few refreshing cold dishes, a bowl of clear soup, and warm milk.

It was all soupy food, which didn't really satisfy her hunger. Tao Shuxin had drunk a lot of alcohol last night, and her stomach was empty right now. She was already quite hungry.

"Let's have something to eat first to settle our stomachs, and then we'll have a proper meal at noon," Xu Mingyuan said.

"Little Twig, did you wash my clothes?" Tao Shuxin asked as she sat down.

“It was washed in the washing machine,” Yang Zhi said calmly.

"Thank you."

Seeing the look in Xiao Yangzhi's eyes, which held three parts disdain and seven parts disgust, Tao Shuxin still thanked her.

"Do you know how crazy you guys were last night?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"What's wrong? It's just a little drinking. You won't get into any trouble, so what?" Tao Shuxin said nonchalantly.

"look by youself."

Xu Mingyuan tossed his phone to Tao Shuxin, gesturing for her to open the video in the album.

The video was taken last night at a karaoke bar. Tao Shuxin and her two girlfriends had drunk quite a bit, and the three of them kept fighting over the two microphones, each refusing to give way to the other, which resulted in a series of almost distorted screams and howls.

It's unclear how much they drank, but the next scene shows three girls hugging each other, laughing and crying. Amidst the noisy background music, you can vaguely hear them talking about their hopes for the future and the troubles and trivialities they encounter in life.

Some of the topics discussed when drunk are quite foolish. They can pick out the smallest things to criticize, and most importantly, there are people who agree with them, maximizing the emotional value, and then the conversation just gets more and more foolish.

Tao Shuxin felt her face getting hot, and when she heard snickers coming from off-screen, her face got even hotter.

"Aren't you bored? Why did you film all this? Delete it, delete it!"

"Delete what? I went through so much trouble to film this. Wouldn't deleting it be a waste of all my hard work?"

Xu Mingyuan snatched the phone away, preventing Tao Shuxin from touching it.

"No! Delete it now!"

Tao Shuxin stopped eating and jumped up to grab the food.

"The video contains embarrassing moments of your girlfriends. Don't you want to send it to them and make fun of them?" Xu Mingyuan said.

"Hmm..." Tao Shuxin hesitated for a moment, seemingly tempted, but then quickly realized what she was doing and shouted while fighting for the camera, "You're only filming embarrassing moments of mine! What does it have to do with them?"

"They're included too, can't we just select a section?"

"That won't do either!" Tao Shuxin shouted.

"Keep it as a memento. It's a mark of your youth. Don't disbelieve me, but if you delete it now, you'll definitely regret it in the future," Xu Mingyuan advised.

"I regret it my ass! Who wants to recall embarrassing moments?" Tao Shuxin retorted.

“Embarrassing things aren’t sad things, so why wouldn’t I want to remember them? They’re not that shameful either. When I look back on them in the future, I’ll just find them funny,” Xu Mingyuan said.

"No, I want to delete it."

Tao Shuxin didn't believe Xu Mingyuan's nonsense, so she stopped trying to grab it and just pouted and reached out her hand.

"Here you go, here you go, but you don't believe me? Sigh," Xu Mingyuan said helplessly.

"Never mind, Xiaozhizhi has already seen it."

Tao Shuxin threw away her phone. So what if she was embarrassed? They were all familiar people, so it didn't matter.

"How did you know?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"She looked at me with disdain, hmph," Tao Shuxin said unhappily.

“No, this isn’t the first time you’ve done something stupid. I just don’t understand why you’re still forcing yourself to drink when you’re already that drunk?” Yang Zhi asked.

"Little Twig, this is the last of my youth, you wouldn't understand..."

Tao Shuxin looked a little listless and picked up her chopsticks to continue eating.
