The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

After this incident, the two did not continue playing in the arcade, but went straight to the exit and left the arcade.

Xu Nian carried the cat carrier and silently carried the girl forward, her face ashen.

He felt like his lungs were about to explode with anger.

Just now, by the dance machine in the arcade, every word of the onlookers' chatter clearly reached his ears.

He overheard them talking about how outstanding their sister was or how well she danced.

All the comments were malicious surprises, gossiping that she was dressed too revealingly, and the scrutinizing looks in their eyes made him feel uncomfortable.

The thought of those greasy gazes and frivolous words ignited a nameless rage within him, making him restless.

"Okay, brother, put me down now."

Xu Xi gently tapped the man's back.

But the man remained unmoved, silently moving forward like a robot with a pre-programmed sequence of events.

Xu Xi knew he was truly angry, so she gently tapped his back again, her voice softening slightly, with a hint of probing: "Brother?"

"elder brother?"

Seeing that he still didn't respond, Xu Xi rolled her eyes, changed her tone, and called out in a soft, sweet voice.

"Onii-chan?"

She poked her little nose out and sniffed gently, smelling a faint sour scent.

"Brother, are you jealous?"

"I don't."

Xu Nian suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice, afraid that she would reveal too much of her emotions.

Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she smiled sweetly.

She shrank back, put her little head on the man's neck, opened her little mouth, and gently bit his shoulder.

The force was very light, more like a playful pout.

Then, she turned her head to one side, deliberately frowned, and spat lightly, her tone full of mockery.

"Ugh~ So sour, so sour! And you said you weren't jealous."

Her silvery laughter reached the man's ears, but to him it sounded like a small mockery, making him both angry and itchy.

Nian lowered his head, turned into a side alley, and put the girl on his shoulder in a corner.

"With so many people around, why did you take off your pajamas?"

Xu Xi looked up at him with her big, watery eyes, still smiling, her tone tinged with a hint of slyness.

"Oh~ so my brother really is angry with me. He said he wasn't jealous."

"No! If I were jealous, I'd be a puppy!"

Xu Nian's brows furrowed into a deep frown, her tone becoming increasingly firm, but her eyes darted away.

"How can a girl like you take off her clothes in front of so many people? What kind of behavior is that?"

"But... I'm so hot! I'm still covered in sweat."

Xu Xi pouted, feeling wronged. She reached out her small hand, took the man's hand, and gently touched her clothes. They were wet and covered in sweat.

"And... that older sister from earlier, she was wearing even less than me, just a bra, and it didn't even cover her belly button."

"She is who she is, it's none of my business, but you can't dress like that!"

He tried to suppress his jealousy with reason, but his confidence waned.

Xu Xi was right, he was jealous.

He was jealous of the men's malicious stares, jealous of their comments about her clothes, and even more jealous that he hadn't stopped her immediately, leaving her offended by those looks.

But looking back, what reason did he have to say anything about Xu Xi?

He was the one who went to see that hot woman first.

Even though it was just to appreciate her dance moves.

The girl looked at the embarrassed man with a charming smile, her eyes full of doting affection.

She stretched out her arms and hugged the vinegar jar in front of her, burying her face in his chest, clearly feeling his rapid heartbeat.

"Okay, brother, I won't dress so scantily in front of others anymore, don't be angry."

She tiptoed, pressed her lips close to the man's ear, and whispered.

"From now on, I'll only show you the way I dress scantily."

Upon hearing this, the man's ears turned bright red, and his anger instantly dissipated.

"Pshaw, who cares?"

He stubbornly insisted.

"Oh~ Brother doesn't want to watch."

The girl feigned disappointment, released her grip on him, and turned to walk out of the alley.

"Then I'll show it to other people; there are people who want to see it anyway."

"No!"

Xu Nian panicked immediately. Without thinking, he grabbed the girl and held her tightly in his arms.

Amidst her giggles, he gritted his teeth and pressed his own lips firmly against the girl's thin, pink lips.

"Mmmmmmmm..."

His kissing technique was quite rough, as if he wanted to devour this lovely little cake.

The stream... belongs to him, and can only belong to him.

Her cuteness, her anger, her sexiness—all of her qualities belong only to him!

His insatiable possessiveness compelled him to hold the girl's delicate body tightly, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Xu Xi gradually stopped struggling, gently grasping the hem of his clothes with both hands, murmuring indistinctly.

"Brother... um... you big idiot... you big pig's trotter..."

Her voice carried a hint of grievance, and a subtle touch of coquettishness.

"I was wrong, I was wrong... Brother, be gentle..."

In the end, her voice trembled with a faint sob.

"Waaaaah..."

......

After a torrential downpour of passionate kisses, Xu Nian's anger subsided considerably.

He licked his lips, which still retained a faint scent of a young girl.

He suddenly understood why Xu Xi had kissed him so passionately all night after their chance encounter at his restaurant more than a decade ago.

A passionate kiss can really solve most problems.

If that doesn't work, then try another one.

The girl leaned against him, panting heavily, her cheeks flushed and her eyes glazed over.

She licked her lips with lingering pleasure, then raised her hand and playfully pinched the man's burning ear.

"You said you weren't angry, brother~ You've almost kissed my lips raw!"

Now that things have come to this, Xu Nian has no face to continue being stubborn.

He looked at the girl's reddened lips, a hint of guilt and shyness appearing on his face. He pinched his nose and, imitating a puppy, softly barked twice: "Woof woof!"

The two barks made the girl burst into laughter.

"Okay, brother, let's go home."

She shook off her sticky clothes: "I'm going home to take a shower. I'm covered in sweat and feel awful."

"Okay, sure."

The two drove home.

The moment Xu Xi stepped into her home, she stripped naked and went into the bathroom.

Xu Nian then took the plush toys out of the cat carrier and placed them on the bedside table in the bedroom.

Little shark, little frog, little monkey, little fish, little panda, little kitten, little hamster...

If these dolls could move, you could probably turn your bedroom into a zoo.

Xu Nian squeezed the dried fish doll that represented her and placed it next to the little shark.

Just then, a shout came from the bathroom downstairs.

"Brother~ Brother~!"

"What's wrong?"

Xu Nian leaned against the stair railing and shouted downstairs.

"I forgot my underwear, could you get me a pair from the bedroom?"

"understood."

Xu Nian returned to her bedroom and picked out a cute pink pair of underwear from the closet.

A blush crept onto his cheeks again, his heart began to race, and he couldn't help but let his mind wander.

What would Xiaoxi look like wearing it alone?

He shook his head, went downstairs to the bathroom, and knocked on the door.

"Xiaoxi, open the door, I brought it to you."

The door opened slightly, and a small, fair hand emerged from the mist.

Xu Nian placed the pink panties into the small hand and turned to leave.

Just then, his arm was grabbed tightly.

In just a moment, he was dragged into the bathroom.

The steam in the bathroom instantly enveloped him, carrying a faint scent of shower gel and the fragrance of a young girl.

"Hehe~ Brother, you've been bullying me outside, now you're going to be eaten up by me."
