Lu Jingxiu suddenly opened his eyes and slowly lowered his head.

A girl was nestled in his arms, sleeping soundly.

A head of loose, slightly wavy long hair covered his body, with a few tufts playfully rubbing against his chin, causing a slight tickle.

Her head rested on his chest, her face turned to the side, her breathing even and long, her warm breath seeping through the thin fabric of her pajamas and brushing against his skin.

But what's even more dangerous is her posture.

One of her legs was bent casually and pressed directly onto his leg.

Because of her unrestrained sleeping posture, the hem of her light pink nightgown had been rolled up to her waist, revealing almost everything underneath.

Therefore, Lu Jingxiu clearly saw two long, white legs.

And that pure white cotton, stretched taut by the fabric underneath, the material deeply embedded in the middle, outlining large, curvy lines.

Lu Jingxiu sat up abruptly: "...Lu Na, you fucking explain yourself, why are you in my bed?"

His movement was so sudden that Xu Na was pulled to the side by his movements.

She mumbled a sleepy "hmm," slowly propped herself up on her elbows, and sat up as well. She even raised her hand to cover her mouth and lazily yawned.

He looked sleepy and completely clueless about the situation.

"Brother, what's your name? You startled me."

As she spoke, she unconsciously raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.

This movement caused the already loose straps of her nightgown to slip down completely, dangling softly on her arms.

I saw large areas of bright light in the Himalayas.

"How did you end up in my room?" Lu Jingxiu forced himself to look at his younger sister's face.

Xu Na tilted her head and looked at him innocently, but with a smile on her lips: "I had a nightmare last night..."

Her voice was soft, with a slight nasal tone from just waking up, "I dreamt that I wasn't your sister, so I was kicked out... I lost everything—the house, the money, and you, brother..."

"Then I woke up and thought, thank goodness, I still have my brother, so... I came here."

She paused, leaned forward, and gently poked Lu Jingxiu's firm chest with her slender finger, looking up at him: "Hey, brother, you're not really going to kick me out, are you?"

As Xu Na moved closer, the distance between the two instantly shortened.

Lu Jingxiu's gaze involuntarily drooped again, this time from a more peculiar angle, revealing him completely.

Beneath that loose collar.

The ravine seemed to be staring at him; on either side of the ravine were large, white rabbits, whiter and whiter still, with two red beans standing upright...

He took a deep breath and, expressionless, pushed Xu Na away: "Get out."

Xu Na was pushed back by him, and she reached out to pull at her slipping tank top. Instead of embarrassment or anger, her face showed curiosity as she blinked, "Brother, what's wrong?"

Then she leaned closer and lowered her voice: "You saw it, didn't you?"

The voice was soft and gentle, carrying a blatant provocation and a hint of triumphant laughter.

Lu Jingxiu grabbed the blanket next to him and covered Xu Na completely, leaving only her head sticking out: "I didn't see anything."

Xu Na struggled for a moment under the covers, then poked her head out, her hair a mess.

She looked at Lu Jingxiu's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, and suddenly laughed, her eyes crinkling.

"Brother, don't worry," she climbed off the bed, her bare feet touching the floor, and winked at him as she turned back, "I won't tell Mom and Dad."

She walked to the door, placed her hand on the doorknob, then turned back and added in a light voice:

"This is our little secret."

After saying that, she opened the door and ran out, closing it behind her.

After closing the door, Xu Na immediately leaned against the cold wall, covered her face with her hands, and her face and ears turned bright red.

Her face was burning hot, and her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to explode.

She appeared calm and collected on the surface, but inside she was pounding with excitement.

She leaned against the wall and took several deep breaths before she could finally calm her wildly beating heart.

Then she leaned against the wall and walked back to her room, locking the door behind her.

She picked up her phone from the bedside table, skillfully opened an app, bypassed the Great Firewall, connected to an overseas network, and logged into a website with a simple interface.

There is an unread message in my inbox from an anonymous account.

She took a deep breath and clicked on it.

"Your request has been received."

"Price: Domestic mission in Xia State, target is subject to special handling, fixed price of US$20, no special requirements, no bargaining."

"We only accept BTC payments. You need to pay 50% as a deposit, which will be deposited into a third-party escrow wallet provided by us. After receiving confirmation of escrow, my people will establish a secure encrypted channel with you within 72 hours and provide their digital fingerprints for subsequent identity verification."

"Once the deposit is received, we will send you the follow-up procedures."

Xu Na closed her eyes, and a few seconds later, as if she had made up her mind, she opened her eyes, exited the website without hesitation, opened her phone, and skillfully transferred money through a certain software.

Transfer successful.

She tossed her phone onto the bed, sat down beside it, hugged her knees, and watched the sky outside the window gradually brighten.

"In my past life, I was just too soft-hearted."

"I'm protecting him. He'll understand in the end."

After Lu Jingxiu finished washing up, Xu Na walked out of her own room as if nothing had happened.

She wore a white casual shirt and a gray A-line skirt made of suit fabric, which reached just above her knees, revealing a section of her calves encased in thin skin-colored stockings. She wore a pair of low-heeled black leather shoes.

Her hair was also neatly combed and tied into a refreshing low ponytail at the back of her head.

She wore simple makeup and looked clean and neat, like an ordinary office worker getting ready to report to the company, completely different from the guy who had been snuggling in his arms that morning.

"Brother, let's go~" Xu Na greeted him with a bright smile as soon as she saw him, as if nothing had happened that morning.

"You're starting your job at the school today?" Lu Jingxiu asked casually.

"Okay, Lu, please call me teacher when you see me at school in the future," Xu Na reminded him earnestly.

Just then, the living room door opened, and Lin Yutang returned carrying a large pile of breakfast.

"Lu Jingxiu, Nana, good morning." Seeing that they were both there, she gave them a gentle smile and held up the bag in her hand. "I bought you breakfast."

She placed the bag on the dining table and, while taking things out, explained somewhat apologetically, "But I don't know if you'll like this... It's just ordinary soy milk and fried dough sticks, along with steamed buns, shumai, and millet porridge. If you don't like it, you can go out and eat; I'll eat this myself."

Lin Yutang was actually a little unsure.

She knew that both of her roommates came from wealthy families; Lu Jingxiu was obviously well-off, and Lu Na also seemed to be a pampered young lady.

She wasn't sure if they would even consider the ordinary breakfast she bought from a roadside stall.

But she felt that since they were living together, she couldn't really treat herself as a guest; she had to do something.

So this morning, she got up early and went downstairs to buy one of each of the breakfast options that looked decent, thinking that she should at least do her part.

"Thank you." Lu Jingxiu didn't react in any particular way. He walked over naturally and helped spread the food on the dining table.

The food was indeed plentiful. Lin Yutang ordered almost all the popular items on the breakfast shop's menu. The small table was instantly filled with various food containers, and the aroma of food mingled with the steam.

"Next time, just buy a few steamed buns, no need to buy so many." Lu Jingxiu guessed Lin Yutang's thoughts and said with a smile.

"Mm." Lin Yutang nodded.

"Eat up." Lu Jingxiu pulled out a chair, sat down, and started eating.

"Thank you, Sister Lin!" Xu Na also came over, gave Lin Yutang a sweet smile, then sat down next to Lu Jingxiu, picked one out of a pile of buns, and took small bites.

Seeing that neither of them seemed to mind and instead started eating breakfast quite naturally, Lin Yutang smiled with relief, pulled out a chair, sat down, and picked up a bowl of millet porridge.

"I'm glad you like it. You can also tell me what you want to eat tomorrow, and I'll bring it up with you," she said softly.
