Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 1029 Who Wasn't Ready?
Under this seemingly plausible but ultimately unfounded teasing.

Under the constant influence of vanity and a vague sense of superiority.

He hid the pants when he went to the toilet later.

Of course, it was discovered later.

But because he was discovered, he and his sister made a pact, which remains a forbidden secret between them to this day.

"Let's go, I'll take you guys out to have some fun today," Shangguan Yan said, standing up.

Xia Shou quickly finished his breakfast and then got up.

Xia Shou wasn't very interested in the daytime activities. Although the fighting experience was indeed very interesting, he still couldn't muster any enthusiasm for it.

Because his younger brother Xia Liang was also around, he couldn't find an opportunity to be alone with Shangguan Yan.

While Xia Liang was being instructed by the coach on the most basic stances on the ring, Xia Shou finally got the chance to be alone with Shangguan Yan.

"Not bad." Shangguan Yan returned with three bottles of sports drinks, shoving one into his hand. "Is there something you want to tell me? Then tonight, after everyone else is asleep, sneak out and come to my place. I've left the door key under the doormat."

Xia Shouxin's heart tightened suddenly, and she glanced sideways at Shangguan Yan.

The other person looked at the boxers fighting on the ring with a smile, his expression normal, as if he hadn't said a word at all, as if those voices were just a hallucination of Xia Shou.

……

……

At two o'clock in the morning, Xia Shou slipped out of the bedroom barefoot. It was very quiet outside.

Even in Xia Liang's room, where he had planned to play games all night, there was no sound.

At this moment, Xia Shou began to realize the purpose of Sister Shangguan taking them to the fighting gym during the day, when Xia Liang was basically the one learning and performing on stage.

People who engage in high-intensity exercise and whose physical strength is greatly depleted, yet still manage to stay up all night playing games, can only be described as iron men.

Clearly, my brother isn't made of iron.

Xia Shou tiptoed out of the house and took a full minute to close the door silently.

After closing the door, he breathed a sigh of relief and rushed to the carpet across the street, where he began to feel around.

found it!
key!

Xia Shou nervously fumbled for the keyhole, finally finding it and turning the key to open the door.

The living room was lit.

Xia Shou entered the house and closed the door behind him. He saw Shangguan Yan sitting with his legs crossed, watching a TV series. A KFC meal that had just been delivered was on the coffee table.

"coming?"

"Yes, I had a dream last night."

"What dream?"

"I can't explain it. I have all sorts of dreams with superpowers. In the dream, you are my boss at work, and I seem to be particularly afraid of you." Xia Shou sat down on the sofa.

"That's quite interesting."

"Regarding what I said before, I still hold the same opinion," Xia Shou said.

"Your sister is eight years older than you, are you really sure?" Shangguan Yan revealed that subtle smile again, like a tempting devil. "Perhaps it's better to maintain the current relationship. You can come to me anytime before Xiao Shou finds a girlfriend."

"Sister Yan, I like you."

“You’re only in college now. By the time you graduate, I’ll be thirty. And it’ll be hard to explain to your parents. We’re already in a very dangerous situation. If we don’t intend to get married… maybe we can stay together for a longer period of peace.”

Shangguan Yan's tone was as rational as a lawyer's, filled with friendly concern for your sake, yet a deeper temptation lay hidden where it couldn't be seen. That feeling returned; it was always the same. Every time it was his own choice, but every time Xia Shou felt like he was being manipulated.

No, it wasn't manipulation, but rather that it was predicted. I felt like I had no secrets at all; all my thoughts, including the darkest parts, had been seen through by the woman in front of me.

This is the side of Sister Shangguan that she never shows to others.

Only showing up in front of him... is like a moth caught in a spider's web only knowing how gentle the silk wrapped around it is, and how numbing the fangs that pierce its body are.

This feeling of being completely controlled can initially bring an indescribable fear. No one can accept having their life controlled or seen through.

But gradually, you get used to it and then can't get rid of it.

Xia Shou had his share of worrying thoughts. Ever since he first succumbed to temptation, he had no other options.

When Shangguan Yan pulled the pants out of his drawer, he turned his head and said without a smile, "So they were with you."

At that moment, the world collapsed, and he felt that everything was over. Even though he was only twelve years old, he knew what that meant.

It's likely that Sister Shangguan will never come to their house again, and he will inevitably be beaten by his parents.

He didn't care about being beaten; what he couldn't accept was the former.

When he panicked and turned pale, she said, "Thinking about that kind of thing makes it impossible to study properly. I didn't expect Xiao Shou to be so precocious."

"If you study hard, I might help you out, but if you don't get in the top three in the class, there won't be a reward."

Xia Shou was completely stunned, and it took him several seconds to understand what the other person had said.

The other person continued, "Of course, maybe I underestimated you, Xiaoshou. Perhaps you are a good child with strong self-control, and you can study hard and get good grades even without my help."

The choice was thrown back into the hands of the twelve-year-old.

Then, he made his choice.

At first, the other party simply offered to help, but gradually his demands began to escalate. After a cautious attempt to probe, he discovered that if he put in more effort, he could gain the other party's permission.

His thinking had grown to a level that was impossible for his peers to reach during his student years, to the point that he completely demystified most women.

That choice had a profound impact that continues to this day.

No one in the world understands him like Sister Yan does, and no one else will be as tolerant of him as Sister Yan is.

Xia Shou's thoughts returned from the distant past.

“I want to marry you,” Xia Shou said.

"Sister Yan, I want to marry you," he repeated.

"Let's make a decision after tonight. I'm older than you and I know better what this means. Enjoyment and responsibility can be separated. Xiao Shou, you don't need to take on any responsibility."

Also, the graduation reward I promised you is running out of time; you're going to sneak back to sleep soon, so you only have three hours left.

Shangguan Yan took Xia Shou's hand, a slow smile playing on his lips: "Are you ready to become a real adult?"

"But Sister Yan, are you ready?" Xia Shou asked in return.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yan's expression froze.

Looking at Xia Shou's calm yet uninhibited face, for a moment she thought that the scepter she held firmly in her hand had been taken away.

But the next moment, a fervent desire rose from the depths of her heart.

...That's wonderful, this man who belongs only to her perfectly matches her preferences.
