Miss Lin is a hunky VTuber today?

In a class of about thirty people, apart from those who have ulterior motives and want to garner votes to compete for class monitor, most people probably wouldn't be able to remember the names of everyone in the class even after a month together.

"Ah!? Oh! It's here!"

Xu Lin was standing at the door, not looking inside, but Youzi's voice was heard just as everyone's attention was focused on the white-haired girl and they subconsciously became quiet.

That brat, she's quite the actress.

"Hehehe~ Sis, you're here!"

As soon as Yuzi came over, she gave Xu Lin a bear hug, her little face flushed and her breath smelling of alcohol.

But Xu Lin knew she wasn't drunk.

Every time they drink, their faces turn red after one or two bottles, and they can drink until their stomachs are full without getting drunk. Both siblings have this kind of constitution. It's useless when they drink alone, but it works very well when they pretend to be drunk at the table.

Especially Yuzu, who once even pretended to be drunk to win over a girlfriend.

The girl was being kind by accompanying her to the restroom and taking her home, but little did she know that Yuzu had ulterior motives from the beginning. She was just pretending to be drunk and kept saying all sorts of flirtatious things on the way home, but she pretended to be drunk, making the girl blush and her heart race.

You would never guess how strange Xu Lin's gaze was when he came downstairs to pick someone up that day.

"Your dad is calling you home. Go say goodbye to your classmates."

The white-haired girl's face was expressionless; even her eyes and brows were expressionless and unresponsive.

What kind of fluctuations could there be? How many times do you think Xu Lin has experienced something like this?

"Huh? So early?"

It's only six o'clock now. Logically, the next stop after the class dinner should be a karaoke bar. This is clearly the time when everyone should be having a good time. But Yuzu obviously didn't want to linger in her own class and instead set her sights on all the girls at Night Sea. So she decisively called her older brother over.

"Stop acting, hurry up, I need to go back and cook for the young lady."

Seeing that Youzi was still pushing and shoving, showing that she was reluctant to part, Xu Lin impatiently leaned close to her ear and whispered something.

'Okay'

The girl blushed slightly as she looked at her older brother, blinked, and silently complained to herself.

'My sister-in-law is still more important.'

Then he decisively turned around and said goodbye to his classmates.

A class without pretty girls wasn't worth her time, so she linked arms with Xu Lin and walked away with a flourish.

"I'll head back now then. Have fun, everyone!"

"Go on your way, be careful on the road!"

It was still the same shy boy from before. Ever since Xu Lin came in, his eyes had been fixed on everyone else. If he were to look at him any longer, he might start drooling.

Unfortunately, the heartless Xu siblings showed no attachment to the class whatsoever, turning around and leaving without a second thought.

"Don't you have a crush on your roommate? Why don't you hang out a little longer?"

After leaving the hotel, Xu Lin looked at Youzi, whose face had returned to its fair complexion after a short time in the evening breeze, showing no signs of having drunk alcohol, and asked her with some curiosity.

"She's not in our class!"

Yuzu clutched her chest, heartbroken.

"Oh, this..."

Xu Lin glanced at her, raised his hand, and gestured for her to continue her performance.

"Yunyun is from the next class and was assigned to our dorm. Her class didn't have a party today, so she's in the dorm right now."

Yuzu further explained that it is quite common for students to share a dormitory but not be in the same class in college.

"So I'm going back to be with my girlfriend now! Bro, you'd better hurry home, don't let your wife go hungry!"

As soon as Yuzu finished speaking, she turned and ran away.

As for her brother, he's only good as a tool; she doesn't want to actually be dragged back by Xu Lin for dinner.

So, is it dog food or rice?! I'm already full before I've even had a bite of rice!

P.S.: Today is Tsukino's birthday, so happy birthday!

P.S.: Although this guy hasn't even read our new book yet (sigh)

Section 132, Chapter Seventeen: A Particularly Void Chapter

The unspoken understanding between siblings is something others can only envy.

Especially siblings like Xu Lin and Xu You, who have had a very good relationship since childhood and share similar interests.

The young lady took out her key, opened the lock, inserted it into the keyhole, stared at it carefully, and smiled.

"Lock, lock, why can you be opened with multiple keys without any scruples?"

She murmured to herself, seemingly deep in thought, then nonchalantly pushed open the door and looked into the empty room.

There was no one there, but there were two cats.

The two little ones were still sleeping soundly on the sofa, oblivious to everything. I don't know why they still prefer to sleep on the sofa even though I bought them a cat bed.

The young lady walked towards Nike and hugged the sleepy-eyed device to her chest.

Therefore, the tacit understanding between siblings is something that can't be envied.

Seeing Kelly peeking out from under Nike's arms, the young lady sighed silently again.

Indeed, how can you expect a relationship that has lasted less than a year since you met to compare to someone who has been together for more than ten years?

Xu Youyue wasn't jealous of Youzi; she was just thinking about when she could develop that kind of understanding with Xu Lin.

"Hey Nike, what do you think?"

The girl looked down, shook the cat's body, and received a look of utter disbelief.

'That's strange, how did the cat know?'

Nike's large, light blue eyes seemed to speak volumes, conveying this meaning to the young lady.

But eyes can't actually speak, and cats can't understand such complex issues. What people can see in a cat's eyes is only what they 'interpret' themselves.

She knew Nike didn't understand.

How could a cat understand a question that even she herself couldn't figure out?

The young lady is just a little lonely.

The moment I stepped onto the elevator.

The moment I thought about how she wasn't home.

Xu Youyue has always been afraid of loneliness. She still remembers that when she was little, her parents were always busy and didn't have time to come home to see her.

Little Youyue was sent to a boarding school, with two days off every two weeks. At first, little Youyue would see her father's Mercedes at the school gate every time.

A year later, little Youyue has grown up! She can go home by herself now! A sumptuous dinner prepared by her mother awaits her.

The family had a warm meal together, and little Youyue would tell her parents about things that happened at school. Her parents teased her about whether any little boys had given her love letters this time.

Another year passed, and it was time for Xiao Xiaoyouyue to return home.

What they found was an empty house and a thick layer of dust on the kitchen stove.

During that period, the young lady's family's company encountered some problems, and her parents almost always lived at the company. Occasionally, they would come home, take a shower, and then immediately collapse and fall asleep, having no energy to clean.

Youyue has grown up and we don't need to worry about her anymore.

At night, little Yue heard her mother say this to her father.

Should she be happy?

Should you smile proudly?

No.

She really didn't want to grow up.

Little Xu Youyue stayed up most of the night, only to receive a word of praise from her mother and the two of them hurrying back to their room.

However, after repeated disappointments, she has become able to go home by herself, heat up a cup of milk, eat dinner alone with bread bought at a store on the way, and look at the text message on her phone that her mother has sent money.

She thought she had gotten used to loneliness and learned to enjoy solitude.

But after Xu Lin appeared, he understood what it meant that the more suppressed one's emotions are, the more they will erupt.

"What should I do, Nike? I feel like I can't live without your human."

Xu Youyue chatted happily with a kitten, all smiles.

Some things are best said to cats.

As if it understood, Nike broke free from the young lady's embrace, slowly walked towards Kailu, licked its fur, and then turned to bark at the young lady again.

"..."

Is this an invitation to her to spend her whole life together?

"As expected of Nike! Awesome!"

She shouted excitedly, then instantly became dejected.

Sometimes I really envy cats. Their world is always so simple. They like to come up to her, meow, and ask for petting.

The young lady looked at the other side of the sofa, the spot where Xu Lin often sat, and seemed to see the white-haired girl impatiently pushing Nike and Kailu aside while playing on her phone.

That's wonderful, that's wonderful.

Xu Youyue sighed again.

The more suppressed something is, the more likely it is to explode.

Perhaps that's why I suddenly hugged Xu Lin and snuggled into her arms this morning.

This feeling, this desire, had been suppressed for far too long, so long that Xu Youyue could no longer remember how she had fallen in love with Xu Lin.

What a terrible person. He makes me feel so at ease, not even giving me a chance to vent my anxiety.
