My girlfriend isn't as cute as me.

"Pity."

The younger sister shook her head.

It would be better if it were a girl.

That way, her brother might have a chance to find a sister-in-law who can cook, so she wouldn't have to eat takeout every day.

My younger sister put the cookie in her mouth and took a bite.

"Ughhhhh!!!"

The rich chocolate and soft cookies complement each other perfectly, creating a mellow flavor without being overly sweet. It's the kind of dessert that you'll finish before you know it, and you can feel the chef's dedication.

"Brother, I want to ask you something very important."

"what's up?"

"Brother, are you interested in boys?"

The younger sister asked very seriously.

Ling Lin looked back at her with the same look he gave her when she said she was an idiot.

"What do you say?"

"I think it's absolutely possible!"

"Don't sell your brother just for a little food!"

Ling Lin originally wanted to tap his younger sister on the head, but then he thought about it. His sister was already stupid enough; what if she became even stupider? Would he have to support this idiot sister for the rest of his life? He had to avoid that kind of future no matter what.

In the end, Ling Lin withdrew his hand, took out a straw, inserted it into the lid, and took a sip of milk tea.

A smile slowly appeared on Ling Lin's lips as he let out a long breath.

"...It tastes good."

Chapter 423 Sweet Dreams

"Jiu'er, I'm so sleepy."

Wang Yuting held Lin Jiu's hand as they walked home.

She had considered walking down the street arm in arm with Lin Jiu, but their height difference prevented her from doing so.

"If you play games all day, you'll definitely feel tired when you relax."

Lin Jiu gripped Wang Yuting's hand tightly, focusing intently on her surroundings. This was to prevent Wang Yuting from accidentally stepping on something and falling to the ground, only to have a car suddenly rush towards her, potentially leading to a life-or-death situation.

Those melodramatic TV drama plots love to stab lovers in the back at their sweetest moments, leaving them bewildered and confused, as if the story can't continue without doing so. If the plot were more natural, it would be fine, but the problem is that modern screenwriters seem to think the old tricks are too outdated, so they come up with even more nonsensical and idiotic plots, always involving characters with cancer, amnesia, or faked death.

"I'm not just playing video games."

Wang Yuting said with a serious expression that she had an objection.

Seeing her so serious expression, Lin Jiu figured she might be busy with other things, and his words had negated all her efforts. It was like a child finishing their homework and preparing to play a game on their phone, only to have their mother see them and instinctively say, "You only know how to play all day, you don't know how to study! I just want you to study hard!"

This behavior is undoubtedly egregious and will have a significant negative impact on a child's physical and mental health. Most importantly, even if the child explains that they have genuinely been studying hard, adults will find it difficult to believe them, and this distrust will cause further harm. Remaining silent when seeing a child playing video games can also be incredibly frustrating; the only solution is—

"I understand. I'll make you a midnight snack and play games with you for a while."

Yi Linjiu thought about it and realized that this was probably the best way to spend time with her child.

Play with the kids, then use your skills to make them lose big points, leaving them questioning their existence.

By fundamentally eliminating the urge to play games, even the most patient person will angrily delete the game after losing ten consecutive matches.

"Okay~"

Wang Yuting cheered up a little.

The thought of playing games with Lin Jiu cheered her up.

"By the way, what I've been busy with is secretly observing Jiu'er, and I've taken a lot of photos," Wang Yuting said proudly. She could never get enough of looking at Lin Jiu's heroic figure at work. Especially when she saw Lin Jiu in a maid outfit, Wang Yuting would subconsciously think of their sweet first experience, and she felt very happy every day.

Lin Jiu was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and gently tapped her arm.

Really.

He thought he had said something hurtful that had upset Wang Yuting.

"Okay, let's go home first. There are still some vegetables in the fridge, so we won't go to the supermarket today." Lin Jiu took Wang Yuting's arm and hugged her tightly to prevent her from collapsing from sleepiness while walking.

Wang Yuting was still a little sleepy, but after Lin Jiu hugged her like that, she instantly perked up.

Walking arm in arm down the street is one of the most dazzling moments between couples.

Although there were some issues between the man and woman, they weren't serious!

The real problem is that Lin Jiu doesn't have breasts.

The allure of couples walking arm in arm on the street lies in the fact that the person being embraced can openly and intimately touch their loved one, feeling the softness and warmth of the other's chest against their arm. However, Wang Yuting couldn't feel Lin Jiu's softness; after all, Lin Jiu was, after all, a boy. In fact, it would be more troubling if he actually had breasts.

After thinking it over for a while, Wang Yuting said seriously, "Even if Jiu'er doesn't have breasts, she's still super cute!"

Lin Jiu subconsciously touched her chest, and after thinking for a moment, she realized what Wang Yuting was referring to.

"...Thank you so much!"

Lin Jiu puffed out her cheeks, quickened her pace, and dragged Wang Yuting back to Mingyuexuan residential area.

"Home is still the most comfortable place~"

After Wang Yuting got home and took off her shoes, Lin Jiu dragged her to the bathroom to wash her hands properly before letting her out.

This is something that will probably never change in Lin Jiu's family: washing their hands when they get home can get rid of most bacteria, especially for children who always touch things outside and then want to eat as soon as they get home.

"Jiu'er, I'm going to sleep now."

"it is good."

"Stay with me~"

Wang Yuting said to Lin Jiu in a coquettish tone.

Lin Jiu's body stiffened slightly, and she covered her forehead in annoyance.

More than being prevented from doing housework or having dinner delayed, Lin Jiu was more troubled by his girlfriend's excessive cuteness.

"Okay."

Lin Jiu sat on one side of the sofa and raised her hand to pat her thigh.

Wang Yuting blinked and subconsciously sat down.

"Heave-ho."

"Idiot! I didn't mean for you to sit on me, I meant lap pillow!!"

Lin Jiu patted Wang Yuting on the back, helping her get down from his embrace.

It's not that Wang Yuting was too heavy, but rather that Lin Jiu had a full understanding of her own rationality and physical strength.

If you have to pay rent after a busy day at work, you'll probably wake up the next day. That's why Lin Jiu is on the sofa; if she goes back to the room with her to sleep, she won't need to eat dinner tonight.

Okay~

Wang Yuting then climbed off Lin Jiu's lap and sat steadily on the sofa.

"What? You don't want to?" Lin Jiu pouted slightly, looking a little unhappy, and muttered sullenly, "Since you don't like it, then forget it, I'll change your pillow."

"No, no, I absolutely didn't mean that."

Seeing Lin Jiu about to stand up, Wang Yuting quickly grabbed his leg, indicating that her tone had been harsh. Admittedly, Wang Yuting's expression looked like that of a pitiful woman being toyed with by a scumbag, so Lin Jiu had no choice but to sit back down.

Lin Jiu is not a scumbag.

In this world, apart from Wang Yuting's parents, no one could cherish Wang Yuting more than him.

"Then come over here." Lin Jiu patted his thigh again.

"I won't stand on ceremony!" Wang Yuting wasn't the kind of shy, timid girl. While somewhat disappointed that Lin Jiu was wearing a long dress instead of a short one, she lay down on Lin Jiu's lap with gratitude. Her body sprawled across the comfortable sofa, the back of her head feeling incredibly soft and elastic, and she could enjoy the cool breeze from the air conditioner, sweeping away the summer's heat.

"call……"

Wang Yuting slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of the male body structure, the fat and lines in the legs are quite excellent.

Lin Jiu's slender, long legs didn't look very fleshy, but when you lay down on them, you could feel their ample suppleness, allowing Wang Yuting to lean against him with peace of mind, closing her eyes and enjoying this uniquely comfortable lap pillow. Whether it was the scent emanating from Lin Jiu, the irresistible sense of security, or the warmth emanating from his head, it was all the best!

Wang Yuting almost fell asleep.

She almost fell asleep the moment she touched Lin Jiu's thigh.

That's just too amazing!

Wow, Lin Jiu's legs are amazing!

"Huh...huh..."

Wang Yuting struggled repeatedly to wake from her light dream, wanting to savor the sensation a little longer. If she were to fall asleep now, it would be such a pity when she woke up. She had only come to lie on Lin Jiu's lap to get a good rest, yet she was resisting sleep because she was determined to enjoy this precious moment. This was probably the unique dilemma of women in love.

Looking at Wang Yuting's relaxed appearance, Lin Jiu felt that she was different from usual, and seemed a bit listless.

Given Wang Yuting's constitution, she shouldn't be this tired even if she stays up all night playing games. Why is she so lazy today?

Did you sneak out to play video games last night?

Lin Jiu stroked Wang Yuting's cheek, applying the massage techniques Ye Yue had taught him to help Wang Yuting relax even more.

"No, I finished the new game DLC, and now opening the game again feels a bit boring. Repeatedly grinding monsters to level up gets tedious, and there aren't many achievements or trophies, so it's not challenging at all." Wang Yuting waved her hand to indicate that she really wasn't secretly getting up to play games anymore; she didn't want Lin Jiu to have trouble sleeping every night and have to wake up in the middle of the night to check if she was playing games.

When Wang Yuting was in high school, her father caught her secretly watching cartoons late at night and gave her a lecture.

At that time, Wang Yuting was still very naive. She was a little unhappy about what her father said, so she retorted to him.

"Dad, don't you stay up all night with Mom every day?"

Because her father cried after she finished speaking, Wang Yuting remembers this incident very well.

Wang Yuting gave up her habit of playing computer games at home late at night, but picked it up again after moving out.

For city dwellers, staying up late is a perfectly normal thing. Even if they know it's bad for their health, there are various special reasons that force them to do it.

"Hmm~ I'll cook more energy-boosting dishes from now on, so my body can get enough nutrition."
