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

Chapter 509 Wholeheartedly
We knew each other for two years, had a flirtatious relationship for one year, and were in love for three years.

For nearly a third of Tao Shuxin's life, Xu Mingyuan was a constant presence, practically accompanying her throughout her youth.

After being together for a long time, the initial passion faded, but Xu Mingyuan's influence deepened, becoming a part of Tao Shuxin.

Tao Shuxin wasn't sure if she had influenced Xu Mingyuan, but even if she had, it certainly wasn't a deep one.

Xu Mingyuan is extremely opinionated, and people with strong opinions are generally not influenced by external factors.

Upon realizing this, Tao Shuxin couldn't help but feel somewhat apprehensive.

The more someone depends on another person in a relationship, the more inseparable they become from that person. So why does Xu Mingyuan have no choice but to choose him?
"Brother Xiaoyuan, have I affected your life?" Tao Shuxin asked.

"No, you won't interfere with my work. Don't worry, even if I'm in a meeting, no one will say anything if I answer your call," Xu Mingyuan said.

"I'm not that fussy. What I mean is, we've been together for so long, has it affected your... thoughts?" Tao Shuxin asked, scratching her head.

"Thoughts? Some, maybe. I'm quite happy being with you, and I'm relaxed."

Where's Little Twig?

"Her? How should I put it? My mindset is already fixed, and Xiao Yangzhi hasn't influenced me much."

"Tsk tsk, you're so hard-hearted," Tao Shuxin said.

"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"Let's see if you'll change your mind," Tao Shuxin said with a worried expression.

"How could that be? Your thoughts are too superfluous. You may not understand yet, but in reality, looks and personality are all pretty much the same. The more people you meet, the more you'll find that even the most beautiful woman, or the woman with the best personality, can be found in similarities with other women; there's no real difference. But your most captivating quality is your wholehearted infatuation with me, your complete devotion to me. Do you understand?"

Taking advantage of Tao Shuxin's inattention, Xu Mingyuan pinched Tao Shuxin's cheek, slightly opened her mouth, and then gently kissed her.

"Huh! Who's obsessed with you? You're so shameless!"

Tao Shuxin shuddered and desperately shrank back, trying to prevent Xu Mingyuan from touching her.

What's this talk about being wholeheartedly devoted? It's better to keep these things to yourself. It's too embarrassing to talk about them.

Xiao Tao Tao is always stubborn, but she's actually quite flexible. Dealing with her is simple: don't try to win her over with words, and instead, try to get physical with her.

Tao Shuxin, whose entire body was ticklish, was far more sensitive than Xiao Yangzhi. She couldn't withstand Xu Mingyuan's harassment for long and let him peel off her clothes.

Tao Shuxin.

"Ok?"

Tao Shuxin was stunned, she had forgotten how long it had been since Xu Mingyuan had called her by her full name.

I remember that not long after I started high school, after the class monitor was elected, Xu Mingyuan kept calling himself the class monitor.

Xu Mingyuan is sometimes annoying. He should just call him class monitor properly, instead of adding "big" in front of him.

Tao Shuxin knew very well that this guy didn't even respect the teachers, and calling her "class monitor" meant absolutely no respect to him.

Tao Shuxin once thought that she learned her sarcastic and sarcastic manner from him, after all, she was called "class monitor" in a sarcastic and sarcastic way all the time, it would be strange if she didn't learn it.

Later, like Tang Lin, Xu Mingyuan would call himself Tao Tao all the time. Tao Shuxin didn't want him to call her that at first, but compared to his sarcastic way of calling her "class monitor," she preferred to be called Tao Tao. She verbally protested a few times, but then she stopped paying attention to him.

At this moment, Tao Shuxin was a little puzzled as to why Xu Mingyuan suddenly called her by her full name.
I'm so unaccustomed to it...

"I understand your worries, but I can assure you that no matter what happens in the future, nothing can stop me from marrying you. This is something I've decided on for the rest of my life, and I will not change it."

"What about the little twigs?"

Tao Shuxin hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up.

"She never interferes with my decisions, so why are you worrying about these things?"

“At each stage of life, we say things we believe in, but what about the future?” Tao Shuxin asked.

"Do you think I'm like you, without any plans for the future? You're still struggling to make up your mind about an internship. You're not even as good as Xiao Yangzhi in that respect. She didn't want to live a life of leisure, but she made up her mind a long time ago and has been working towards that goal ever since."

Xu Mingyuan knew that Tao Shuxin would have reservations no matter what he said, so he simply changed the subject.

"Huh? You want to work hard even if you're just going to coast through life?" Tao Shuxin asked, utterly puzzled.

“Of course, do you think I don’t want her to be ambitious? It’s her own hard work that made me allow her to coast along,” Xu Mingyuan said. “Good heavens! How pathetic!”

"Do you understand now why I'm talking to you about these things?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"how could I know?"

"Concentrate! Stop thinking about useless things and give me some feedback."

"Ugh, aren't you annoying...?"

Tao Shuxin patted him on the back and stopped thinking about other trivial matters.

The morning sunlight was soft and gentle, radiating a warm glow.

When Xu Mingyuan opened his eyes, Xiao Yangzhi was lying beside him, her slender, fair legs draped over his stomach, bathed in golden sunlight.

When Xiao Yangzhi was with Xu Mingyuan, she gradually stopped avoiding the sunlight. Last night, the heavy curtains were opened with a gap about two fingers wide, allowing the morning sunlight to shine into the room.

The little willow branch wasn't plump, but it was smooth and supple, its jade-white, snow-like skin reflecting a faint halo. Xu Mingyuan couldn't help but pinch it every time he saw it.

Yang Zhi usually wakes up earlier than Xu Mingyuan. After noticing that he was awake, she moved her legs up a little so that it would be easier for him to massage her.

Despite having had enough sleep, Yangzhi didn't want to get up too early.

This year, May Day is a seven-day holiday, but next year it will be changed to three days, and we will no longer see the phrase "seven days of fun on May Day".

The trends of the times always pass suddenly, and after a period of discussion, no one will delve into them anymore.

For Yang Zhi, this short holiday was nothing special. She stayed at home most of the time and rarely went out. Even her new clothes were bought by Tao Shuxin without her having to lift a finger.

Just like my brother said, my mother has indeed contacted me less often lately. In fact, she only called once during the entire May Day holiday and hasn't contacted me since.

Yang Zhi felt somewhat wronged. Holding the phone, she didn't know whether she should call back. She didn't tell Xu Mingyuan about it and just struggled with the decision on her own.

When she was home alone, Yangzhi felt wronged and wanted to cry, but she wailed softly for a long time without shedding a single tear. In the end, she could only scratch her head and sulk for a long time.

"Brother, my mom hasn't called me in a long time."

As she was about to return to Jiangcheng for the start of the new school term, Yang Zhi finally spoke her mind.

"Didn't you call one?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

“No…” Yang Zhi shook her head.

“Why not fight? If you want to fight, just fight. What’s there to hesitate about?” Xu Mingyuan said.

"Brother, I just don't understand, does being more obedient mean you're less worthy of being liked?" Yang Zhi asked, raising her eyes.

"Of course not, don't overthink it. Aunt Yang has a new life now and definitely can't take care of you. It will be fine when she's less busy in the future."

"But you don't even have time to make a phone call?" Yang Zhi continued to ask.

"It's probably not that bad. They probably just think you're too old for them and that calling you all the time would be annoying."

"No, Mom just doesn't like me that much..."

Yang Zhi was a little frustrated. Although she had understood this a long time ago, she couldn't help but feel disappointed as she gradually came to realize it.

"Well, Aunt Yang's life wasn't great when she was young, so she probably doesn't want to recall those experiences."

Xu Mingyuan didn't know how to comfort her, so he just ruffled her hair.

"Brother, what do you like about me?"

Yang Zhi nuzzled his chin with her head and asked in a very low voice.

"I like that you're so devoted to me," Xu Mingyuan said.

"Ah."

Yangzhi nodded and tightened her arms around Yangzhi.
