Oh no! My online romance partner is actually a Miao holy maiden!

The air froze instantly.

Bai Ling'er's smile vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She gently put down her chopsticks and stared intently at Xu Yi.

Instead of continuing their own topic, they turned to Xu Yi.

"Brother Yi, do you want Ling'er to go back to the dormitory?"

"You look down on Ling'er?"

Two questions, spoken in a nonchalant tone.

But it made Xu Yi's hair stand on end.

Seeing Bai Ling'er's increasingly dangerous gaze, Xu Yi's survival instinct instantly kicked in.

He quickly explained, "Ling'er! Let me explain!"

"What I mean is, it's not really appropriate for a single man and woman to live together like this, what if your mother and the others find out..."

"If you don't tell, and I don't tell, how will they know?"

Bai Ling'er stared at Xu Yi, pressing him closer step by step.

There was a hint of grievance in her voice.

"And... Brother Yi, are you really not planning to bring Ling'er home?"

Bai Ling'er leaned forward slightly.

"Brother Yi clearly said he would take me home. Was everything he said just an excuse to get rid of Ling'er?"

"Did someone tell you something?"

She already had some doubts when she asked that question.

Xiaoqing also peeked out at the opportune moment.

Xu Yi felt a chill run down her spine and dared not look into her eyes again.

Damn Hakuno!

If this guy hadn't threatened him with a few cropped photos that looked like they belonged to a marketing account, would he have bothered jumping around in Bai Ling'er's minefield?!

He doesn't dare to reveal Shirono now!

Seriously, I'm fed up with this family; each one of them is more difficult than the last...

Seeing that the situation was not going well.

Xu Yi gritted his teeth and made a firm decision!

"Yes, I'll definitely bring it!"

He stood up and slammed his hand on the table.

"Even an ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her in-laws eventually! I've been itching to bring you home for a long time! Mainly, it's not just my parents, but your family too. If they knew we were living together now, my parents would want to kill me..."

"Besides, I don't want people to talk about you."

"I think our relationship is normal, there's no need to rush things..."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling'er blinked.

Surprisingly, it makes some sense.

The next second, the entire living room instantly went from cloudy to sunny.

Bai Ling'er's face instantly lit up with a smile. She smiled and hooked her arm around Xu Yi's, pressing her whole body against him.

"I knew Brother Yi was the best. Ling'er misunderstood Brother Yi. Hmm... Brother Yi is so thoughtful for Ling'er."

Bai Ling'er rubbed her little head against Xu Yi's shoulder, her voice almost overflowing with affection.

My brother Yi's heart is full of me.

He's thinking so far ahead for our future. He loves me so much, he really does. I'm so happy I could cry.

Xu Yi felt the softness on his shoulder, but remained outwardly as steady as an old dog.

I was actually sweating bullets inside, and I was practically dehydrated.

Phew... I've seen plenty of storms.

Give yourself a thumbs up.

I escaped death from the clutches of a yandere saint once again—how thrilling!

However, looking at Bai Ling'er's happy little face...

Xu Yi had rice stuffed in his mouth, and he couldn't quite describe the feeling in his heart.

So... you've met the parents?

Isn't the progress bar moving a little too fast?

He chewed the beef with some worry.

I wonder if my parents will like Ling'er if I bring her home for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Moreover, Ling'er's true identity as the Holy Maiden of Miao territory.

I absolutely cannot tell my two traditional-minded older relatives and my older sister yet...

To avoid them being so frightened that they object on the spot if they find out.

That would directly enrage this yandere young lady...

We must keep it a secret!

......

Xu Yi thought that he had perfectly covered up the matter with his perfect acting skills.

But he clearly underestimated Bai Ling'er's intuition.

Throughout the night, Bai Ling'er remained gentle and considerate, serving tea and water.

But his eyes kept drifting, intentionally or unintentionally, to the coat Xu Yi had brought back and the phone he had placed on the table.

Although her brother Yi hid it well, she could still sense his tension and inner turmoil.

There's a saying among the Han people: "When things go wrong, there must be something fishy going on."

Why would Brother Yi suddenly do something like moving back to the dormitory to distance himself from his family?

It must be some fool who's up to no good behind the scenes.

It wasn't until the next morning.

While Xu Yi was in class, Bai Ling'er also went out.

She took out her phone and swiped her finger across the screen.

He dialed the number without any expression on his face.

The call was answered in the blink of an eye after only two rings.

"Hey? Little sister?! Why did you call me today? Did that kid surnamed Xu bully you?"

Shirayuki's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Bai Ling'er, get straight to the point.

How do you know he bullied me?

"Did you make him say that? Did you threaten Brother Yi?"

Shirayuki on the other end of the phone.

no respond.

But in his heart he was thinking, "This Xu Yi is definitely not honest!"

They have something on you, yet they still dare to expose it.

Seeing that Baiye remained silent.

Bai Ling'er continued, "Bai Ye, haven't you gone back yet?"

Bai Ye paused for a few seconds, then, feeling somewhat guilty and a bit agitated, blurted out, "Ahem... I'm your third brother! How dare you call me by my name like that?! What did Mom teach you...?"

Hearing the other party's evasive answer.

Bai Ling'er snorted coldly.

Case solved.

She was 100% sure.

It was her own third brother, who only knew Timi and had no brains, who was hiding in the shadows as the sixth brother and threatening her Yi-gege!

Otherwise, her brother Yi was so well-behaved yesterday.

How could someone who loves her braised beef brisket so much suddenly look constipated and suggest that she move back to her dorm after they've eaten and drunk their fill?

It must have been Bai Ye who used those shady methods from the village to scare her already timid brother Yi!

Damn Third Brother! Damn Sixth Brother!

How dare they threaten my brother Yi behind my back!

A dark glint flashed in the depths of Bai Ling'er's eyes.

Even the little green cat on her wrist seemed to sense its master's anger, and excitedly flicked its tongue.

"So you still remember you're my third brother!"

Bai Ling'er snorted coldly, giving Bai Ye no chance to argue.

He said in a commanding tone, "I'm waiting for you at the Mixue Ice Cream shop, the third one on the left after turning left at the Jiangda campus gate. Since you haven't gone back, come here immediately!"

"No, little sister..."

"..."

Before Shiro could finish speaking, the call was disconnected.

Bai Ye stared blankly at the phone screen where the call had been disconnected.

"Damn it!"

Shiro slammed his hand on the table, his whole body trembling with anger.

Without a doubt, it was that coward Xu Yi who betrayed him the moment he turned his back!

"Xu Yi! You have absolutely no sportsmanship! I warned you the minute, and you went to complain to that little sister, didn't you?! You just wait!"

Bai Ye put away his phone while cursing.

Resigned, I stood up and walked towards Mixue Ice Cream near the school gate.

Despite his harsh words, he actually quickened his pace.

After all, if we go too late, it will make my little sister even angrier.

When the little sister gets angry, she's harder to calm down than the New Year's pig in the village.
