The younger sister pretends to be hypnotized, and her older brother gets addicted.

Under the dim light, the girl's eyes looked as if they had been washed clean, brimming with moisture.

The sweet scent of gardenias wafted in from outside the window, penetrating into Jiang Yanci's lungs and causing him to cough.

Ruan Yang was a little worried. "Brother, are you sick?"

"Nothing," Jiang Yanci asked. "What did you miss about me?"

Ruan Yang asked nervously, "I'm wondering, if my brother finds out I lied to you, will you be angry?"

"What's going on?"

He narrowed his eyes. "Went to a nightclub again?"

Ruan Yang quickly shook her head, "No."

When Ruan Yang was in high school, she went to a karaoke bar with her deskmate. When they went in, they found that there were a lot of people inside.

Her deskmate dragged her to dance class, and a man handed her a glass of water. "Little girl, are you thirsty? Want some?"

"I...I don't drink alcohol."

"Haha, this is a Long Island Iced Tea."

Oh, it's tea.

Seeing that her classmate next to her had also drunk some, Ruan Yang took the cup with both hands and said, "Thank you, Uncle."

The next second, the cup of "tea" was overturned by Jiang Yanci, who rushed over.

Ruan Yangcai then realized that Long Island Iced Tea is not tea.

This isn't a karaoke bar, it's a nightclub.

That was the first time in my memory that my older brother had lost his temper with her.

The older brother pressed her down on his knees, his expression grim.

"Going to a nightclub, and you still dare to drink the alcohol offered by someone else?"

"Ruan Yang, you're getting bolder and bolder. Weren't you going to a classmate's house to study? Now you're studying at a nightclub? Hmm?"

Ruan Yang begged for mercy repeatedly.

"Big brother, I've done something wrong, please stop hitting me..."

"Don't dare what? Speak up."

"I dare not go to nightclubs, I dare not drink the alcohol offered by strangers, I dare not lie to my brother..."

As her memories returned, Ruan Yang shuddered and swallowed back the words of truth.

Meeting Jiang Yanci's probing gaze, she shrank back under the covers.

"I was just asking."

Goodnight, brother.

As usual, Jiang Yanci bent down and kissed Ruan Yang's forehead.

Ruan Yang was startled.

She knew that her older brother had always been averse to physical contact.

Since Jiang Zhuo is the male lead, presumably the older brother will also have an official love interest—

It could be the female lead's best friend or her female boss.

This is how balanced literature is portrayed.

She quickly pressed herself against his chest.

"...Brother, no need."

A moment later, Jiang Yanci's "Hmm" came from above.

Ruan Yang didn't dare to look at her older brother's expression, but he should be very happy that he didn't have to kiss her anymore.

……

After Jiang Yanci left, Jiang Zhaozhao slowly moved in.

The little guy is exquisitely beautiful, with big, grape-like eyes, yet he always acts like a little adult.

As usual, he climbed into bed and kissed Ruan Yang.

Ruan Yang gently pressed his head down and said softly, "No need, there won't be any more goodnight kisses from now on."

Jiang Zhaozhao tilted her head to look at her, her brows furrowed, and asked in a mature tone, "Are you angry again?"

"without."

After thinking for a moment, she added, "You don't need to sleep with me anymore."

"real?"

"I'd be a dog if I lied to you."

"oh."

Jiang Zhaozhao hugged the small pillow and returned to his room.

Their quickened pace revealed their eagerness to get started.

Ruan Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good.

She will try her best to erase her traces in the Jiang family and not cause trouble for the protagonist.

She will also get married as soon as possible to shed her villainous supporting character persona.

—She has watched so many idol dramas. The villainous female supporting character can be a spoiled heiress or a scheming white lotus, but she will never be a married woman!

There is still one month before she is sold to Africa.

She needs to get married as soon as possible within these 30 days.

Just do it!

Ruan Yang picked up her phone, scrolled through her WeChat contacts, and carefully selected eligible young men around her.

"This one is not good-looking."

"He has a girlfriend."

"That's fancy."

After screening through the selection process, there was indeed a handsome guy from a good family who was also devoted to his family.

She excitedly clicked on the other person's WeChat Moments, and then—

Just five minutes ago.

The boy came out.

"..." That was close, we almost became a shady business.

*

Ruan Yang did not sleep well that night.

She dreamt that her impersonation of her savior was exposed, and Jiang Yanci was furious, kicking her out of the Jiang family.

Even though I knew it was a dream, I still felt a chill when I woke up.

Ruan Yang arrived at the restaurant in a daze.

The Jiang family of three were seated at the dining table, but no one touched their chopsticks.

This was also a rule she set—

A family must eat together; it's impossible to have even one person missing.

Ruan Yang walked over quickly. "Sorry, I overslept."

"It's not late, we just sat down." Yao Jinzhi smiled and pushed the milk over. "Drink it while it's hot."

Ruan Yang nodded.

She used to care a lot about her appearance, thinking that only if she was pretty would her parents love her more.

So I've been trying my best to control my weight.

He is 1.68 meters tall and his weight has never exceeded 90 kilograms.

But after learning that she was a spoiled female supporting character, she decided to eat more.

That way, even if they are sent to Africa in the future, they can survive...

She picked up a fried egg and a slice of buttered toast.

But my stomach is too small from years of dieting.

I drank half a glass of milk, ate an egg and half a slice of toast, and I was so full.

Jiang Zhaozhao naturally reached out to take her leftovers and was about to continue eating.

Ruan Yang noticed that the little guy had faint dark circles under his eyes.

Is it because you're so happy you can't sleep that you don't have to sleep with her?

Ruan Yang's heart tightened, and she quickly pulled the plate back.

"That's unhygienic; you're still growing."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the table stopped eating.

Jiang Zhaozhao asked, puzzled, "Why are you angry again?"

Ruan Yang opened her mouth, unsure how to explain.

Even if she reforms, she will still be seen as being petty and disliked.

She was a little scared.

Is it really impossible to change the ending?

She thought that God was turning a blind eye to her misfortune, but little did she know that God was targeting her...

Startled, Jiang Yanci spoke.

"I'm meeting with provincial leaders today, Yangyang, could you help me choose an outfit?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Yang quickly shook her head: "No, thank you..."

She used to be very controlling; she controlled everything the Jiang family members wore.

Jiang Zhaozhao suffered greatly as a result.

Ruan Yang watched him grow up. The little guy was handsome, and she made him many fluffy clothes by hand.

But children already have their own aesthetic sense.

Jiang Zhaozhao is especially precocious, and her personality is like a replica of her older brother. Every time she wears those childish clothes to kindergarten, she frowns.

"And mine too."

Jiang Zhaozhao finished her remaining breakfast, wiped her mouth, and said to Ruan Yang.

Ruan Yang pursed her lips.

This time she was smarter and, afraid of being seen as acting out of spite, didn't refuse directly.

Instead, they honestly took out the most conventional clothes from their wardrobes.

It was handed to Jiang Zhaozhao.

It's a two-piece set with a navy doll collar.

It was handed to Jiang Yanci.

It was a lead-gray three-piece suit.

The two of them were stunned when they received the clothes.

Jiang Zhaozhao frowned slightly.

He clearly saw Ruan Yang make a green dinosaur plush suit yesterday.

Why didn't Ruan Yang force him to wear it?

Jiang Yanci also discovered that something was missing after searching through his suit.

"Is that all?"

The two spoke in unison.

Ruan Yang shook her head: "That's all."

Jiang Yanci lowered his eyes to look at her, his tone revealing no emotion.

"No shirt clip today?"

When the topic of shirt clips came up, Ruan Yang's ears burned slightly. "No."

She had seen pictures of men wearing shirt clips online, which she found quite novel.

Originally, I wanted Jiang Zhuo to wear it for me to see.

But Jiang Zhuo was unwilling.

Since he had already bought them, Ruan Yang gave them all to Jiang Yanci.

Not just shirt clips, but also brooches.

During my university years, there was a saying circulating in the dance academy.

"If you give your boyfriend a brooch that you made yourself, he will love you for a lifetime if he wears it."

Ruan Yang believed it.

It took a month, and she pricked her hand several times, to finish the bra, which she then gave to Jiang Zhuo.

But Jiang Zhuo couldn't stop laughing after opening the gift.

"Ruan Yang, I told you to stop watching so many short videos, you're ruining your brain. Aside from those borderline pornographic ones, what man would wear something like that?"

"Why don't you give it a try?"

Ruan Yang was too embarrassed to explain the meaning of the bra, knowing Jiang Zhuo would laugh at her for being naive.

She explained, "I'm starting a business, and you're my customer number 0. I'm letting you give it a try, so just give it a shot."

Jiang Zhuo laughed when he heard this, "With a brain like yours, you want to start a business?"

As he spoke, he casually tossed the bra into the trash can. "I can't let you have the chance to ruin other fine young men, otherwise it will affect the reputation of our Jiang family."

Ruan Yang was so sad that she cried.

Finally, seeing her distress, Jiang Yanci offered to help her try.

Thinking back carefully—

Every time she gave her brother a new shirt clip and brooch, his expression was... a little unnatural.

Jiang Zhuo made a good point.

Aside from men who flirt with the law, no one would wear something like this, let alone a brother who is always conservative and proper.

Ruan Yang sighed deeply.

It's not too late to make up for it.

She opened a second-hand trading platform and listed the fluffy coat she had made for Jiang Zhaozhao, along with the shirt clips and brooches.

She quickly found a new buyer.

The former is a stay-at-home mom in the same city.

The latter is a male livestreamer in the same city who flirts with the wrong side of the law.

Ruan Yang went down and immediately shipped the goods.

She promised.

I will never let Zhao Zhao and my older brother see anything they hate again.
