After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

"Then the older sister should save it for the younger brother, so that he will need it someday."

"Even if you don't need it, you should keep it for yourself."

Bai Yu really had no intention of wanting a single penny from Si Yu.

"We'll definitely need it then!"

Bai Yu didn't take these words to heart at all, but Si Yu smiled especially happily. Chapter 216: Unable to help but act cute (Seeking monthly votes)

"Here, try the beef that your sister cooked, isn't it delicious?"

As he said this, Si Yu put two pieces of beef into Bai Yu's bowl.

Looking at the beef in the bowl, it looked delicious and looked very appealing, but Bai Yu didn't eat it. Instead, she got up and said she was going to the restroom before leaving.

Going to the toilet was just a pretense; the real purpose was to check if there were any problems with the food.

As Bai Yu passed by the kitchen, she glanced at the decorations and stove, and also checked the trash can, but found nothing suspicious.

Bai Yu was afraid that Si Yu would put some powdery substance into the food like last time.

After glancing at her, Bai Yu pretended to have finished using the restroom and returned without changing her expression.

After he sat down again, he saw that Si Yu had already picked up a piece of beef and eaten several pieces, which showed that he had been worrying too much.

However, Bai Yu's overthinking also confirmed one thing: as long as she didn't do anything that would make Si Yu feel like she was going to be abandoned, this girl was relatively safe.

Honestly, you can't blame Bai Yu for being too cautious; it's just that Si Yu is too dangerous.

She picked up a piece of beef from the bowl and put it in her mouth. It tasted really good. Even though Bai Yu had already eaten dinner and didn't have much of an appetite, she still felt the urge to eat two big bowls of rice.

Watching Bai Yu pick up piece after piece of beef to eat, Si Yu just smiled without saying a word. She knew without asking that the beef she made suited Bai Yu's taste perfectly.

This is the joy of being recognized.

"Bai Yu, did you forget what you told your sister?"

With his hands supporting his chin, Si Yu looked at Bai Yu and suddenly asked a question that left Bai Yu somewhat bewildered.

What should I say to Si Yu? What should I say?

Looking up at Si Yu's smiling eyes, Bai Yu really didn't know what she had forgotten to say to this girl, and there was probably no need to say anything, right?

Since she couldn't think of anything to say, Bai Yu, true to her tradition of asking questions when she didn't understand, simply asked.

In the adult world, it's best not to play too many riddles and make things too complicated.

"Did I forget what I said?"

Seeing Bai Yu's puzzled expression, Si Yu smiled and tapped his forehead with her slender finger, scolding him playfully.

"You idiot, why don't you wish your sister a Happy New Year?"

Well, it turns out I didn't wish this girl a Happy New Year. Oh well, it's not like I said anything special, so there's no harm in saying it.

"Oh, Happy New Year."

Although she said it, Bai Yu's lighthearted and perfunctory tone made Si Yu very dissatisfied.

"Start over! How can you be so insincere? My sister's going to be heartbroken!"

Alright, alright, Si Yu is at it again with her usual coquettish and cute tactics.

Bai Yu knew this, but he was genuinely worried about hurting Si Yu's feelings. After all, she might turn evil and become like she had a completely different personality, which would be terrifying.

Happy New Year, Senior Siyu.

This time, Bai Yu showed more sincerity, but Si Yu was still not very satisfied.

The girl stood up, walked up to Bai Yu, bent over, and made a heart shape with her hands.

"Call me 'older sister,' and you have to act like an older sister, then say, 'Happy New Year, hurry up!'"

Looking at Si Yu like this, to be honest, she seems like a lively and cheerful little girl, maybe even a bit childish.

But people shouldn't live such a tiring life. Doesn't being childlike from time to time mean that you still have a childlike heart?

You look like an idiot!

But Bai Yu's words instantly ruined the atmosphere, making Si Yu's face turn red with anger, and she stomped her little foot in frustration.

"You... Ugh, how could you talk to your sister like that? I'm ignoring you now, hmph!"

Hey, Bai Yu suddenly felt that she agreed with Si Yu's opinion when she heard this. Isn't it good that Si Yu is ignoring her?

However, Bai Yu also knew that Si Yu was just saying it in anger. If he really ignored her so easily, he would have done so long ago.

Si Yu sat back down in her seat, turned her head away and pretended not to look at Bai Yu, and even stopped eating, truly throwing a tantrum.

But it doesn't matter. Bai Yu felt that if Si Yu didn't eat so many delicious foods, she couldn't not eat them either. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?

But his behavior only made Si Yu more dissatisfied, and she muttered something under her breath.

"Silly little brother, just eat! Nobody cares about me anyway. I'll starve to death, so just eat as much as you want, and nobody will care..."

You might say Si Yu is magnanimous, and she truly is, but now when she gets emotional, I don't know why she's suddenly become a bit petty.

Because this girl's eyes inexplicably reddened while she was talking, Bai Yu was dumbfounded. What the hell was going on?

Actually, you can't blame Si Yu for this. After all, she hadn't been willful or acted spoiled for many years. This was the first time she felt that Bai Yu was someone she could rely on. As she spoke, she couldn't control her feelings of grievance and her desire to act spoiled, which is why she acted this way.

Looking at Si Yu, who was biting her lip to hold back her tears, Bai Yu really didn't know what she had done to make this girl cry.

But making him cry is a minor issue; the real problem is if he suddenly changes his personality.

At this moment, Bai Yu couldn't worry about anything else. He should first comfort her and calm her down.

"Sister, sister, dear sister, please don't cry. I was wrong, okay? It's not good for you to cry during the New Year. Here, let me put some food on your plate. Eat up."

Bai Yu's words weren't gentle; they were just words of comfort after she had been humbled. It was like a college student making a young girl cry; for a moment, he felt a little flustered.

But Si Yu was quite pleased, and after gently sniffing, she scolded him playfully.

"My sister didn't cry. Even if my brother cried, my sister wouldn't cry. She's just a little hungry."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu immediately stopped trying to comfort her. Since she recovered so quickly, there was no need to comfort her anymore.

"Oh, then eat quickly. I've already eaten, so I'm not hungry."

Bai Yu's attitude took a complete 180-degree turn, which made Si Yu both angry and amused. Couldn't she just coax him a little more?

"Here, you should eat something, after all, you ate a long time ago."

Despite her dissatisfaction, Si Yu still cared about Bai Yu. Even though she was hungrier herself, she still served Bai Yu food.

If it really were the older sister, Bai Yu felt he would be willing to be the younger brother, after all, who wouldn't like to be pampered by such an older sister?

The problem is that the roles of the older sister and younger brother are not normal. The older sister always seems to want to devour her younger brother. How can that be normal?

"Bai Yu, while your sister was away from school, you...didn't get a boyfriend, right?"

"Huh?... Oh, no, how could that be? I just don't like the opposite sex, but it's not that easy to get along with the same sex either."

Goodness, Bai Yu didn't even realize what kind of bizarre question Si Yu had asked at first.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and remembered that he was gay in Si Yu's eyes, otherwise he would have been exposed.

"So... when can your little brother tell his older sister if he wants to like someone of the opposite sex, okay?"

Looking at Si Yu's charming smile, Bai Yu nodded somewhat humbly and said.

"Oh, let's talk about it on that day."

Bai Yu is truly cautious for a short time but not forever. This statement is indeed perfunctory, but from Si Yu's perspective, isn't it also a feeling of being about to be straightened out?

Chapter 217 Holding hands all night (Did you get your monthly vote?)

"Okay, you must tell your older sister then, otherwise she'll get angry, and she'll look really fierce like that, hmph~"

As she said this, Si Yu put on a playful, slightly sullen expression. She didn't look angry at all; instead, she seemed to be acting cute.

In fact, we didn't eat for very long before the clock struck twelve, signaling the end of the Spring Festival and the official start of the new year.

However, Si Yu couldn't actually eat much of this huge spread, boasting that he had a small appetite.

In Bai Yu's words, if someone can't eat, they might really be about to pass away.

Of course, Bai Yu only thought these things in her heart; saying them aloud would really be out of place with the festive atmosphere.

Bai Yu could only say that she was trying her best to finish all the food and snacks on the table; there was just too much. She wished she had eaten less for dinner, so she could have eaten more now.

After a satisfying meal, Si Yu packed up her things and then took Bai Yu to the rooftop to watch the fireworks display in the city.

Fireworks and firecrackers are strictly prohibited within the city, so the ones being set off now are being released in a regulated manner. They are indeed very beautiful and magnificent.

Of course, only Si Yu has the key to get to the rooftop, since the whole building belongs to her.

"Wow, fireworks are definitely more spectacular when viewed from a rooftop, right, Bai Yu?"

Looking at Si Yu, who is clearly a mature and sophisticated woman, jumping around like a child, is she really that happy? It's just a firework, isn't it?

People's joys and sorrows are not shared, just like Bai Yu can't understand why Si Yu is so happy right now.

In his view, it was just an ordinary firework, something he saw every year, and it was always the same.

For Si Yu, it was indeed a very ordinary firework, one that she could see every year, but this was the only one she watched with this year.

Fireworks fade quickly, but human kindness endures. Fireworks eventually fade, but human kindness continues.

After watching the fireworks, Bai Yu felt it was about time to take a taxi home or stay at a hotel, since she couldn't stay with Si Yu.

This is Si Yu's home turf, of course. Last time, this girl somehow managed to sneak into his room in his own home. How could he be safe here?

So after watching the fireworks, Bai Yu suggested that they leave alone.

However, Si Yu had no intention of letting him leave at all. He dragged Bai Yu to watch a movie at home, saying that they wouldn't sleep and would stay up all night together.

Bai Yu was initially somewhat resistant, but after thinking about it carefully, she realized that staying up all night would be safe, since she wouldn't be sleeping anyway, and it was already quite late. It would be difficult to get a taxi in the early morning, let alone take such a long distance.

So in the end, Bai Yu stayed.

He originally thought she would be watching movies on that big-screen TV, but this girl had a home projector and a projection screen in her room. Her equipment was incredibly complete; she truly deserved to be called a rich woman.
