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

Sitting on a public bench by the badminton court, Si Yu looked at Bai Yu's right hand, which was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze. Bai Yu thought that this girl was worrying about her a little too much.

"Senior Siyu, I just tripped and fell, there's no need to act so...worried, right?"

Bai Yu was a little embarrassed by Si Yu's excessive worry.

After all, this was on the court, not in private. Several courts were next to each other, and with so many people watching Si Yu, even Bai Yu, with his thick skin, would feel a little embarrassed, right? Besides, he also had to avoid misunderstandings.

"How could I not worry, sister? Your wrist is so swollen, how could you be so careless?"

As she said this, Si Yu took Bai Yu's hand and placed it on her face, looking slightly aggrieved.

"I can't even properly touch my sister's face anymore..."

Damn, Bai Yu felt that Si Yu had gone too far, with so many people watching.

Despite the pain, Bai Yu was determined to pull her hoof back from Si Yu's hand.

Seeing Bai Yu, who was clearly a little embarrassed in front of so many people, Si Yu suddenly felt that her younger brother was so cute, that he could actually be shy.

If we're talking about the one among the four ex-girlfriends who doesn't shy away from other people's opinions at all, it's definitely Si Yu.

She opened her arms and hugged Bai Yu's neck, rubbing her face against Bai Yu's, which made Bai Yu very unhappy.

"Hey, Senior Siyu, this will damage my reputation. If others see this, they'll misunderstand me to death!"

Hearing Bai Yu's words, Si Yu pouted and said with slight dissatisfaction.

"What misunderstanding? My sister just loves and cares for her brother. Is that wrong?"

Yes, what Si Yu said does sound right, but the question is, will others think that they are siblings?

Moreover, the relationship between the siblings is not like that at all in Si Yu's eyes, it has already started to change!

Just as Bai Yu was thinking about how to avoid Si Yu's ambiguous behavior, a slightly rough voice rang out at the entrance of the badminton court.

"Siyu, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly run away? Don't you still have two matches to play?"

Hearing this voice, even though someone was calling her, Si Yu had no intention of letting go of Bai Yu. She turned around and looked at the boy in the distance.

"I'm not playing anymore, Wang Daobo. I'm going to play with my brother. You can play with the others."

hiss~

Wang Daobo was already very uncomfortable when he saw Si Yu running to the badminton court and pulling at a boy.

Si Yu still claims this boy is her younger brother, and he looks so-so, but there's not a single thing about him that resembles Si Yu.

"No way, when did you get a younger brother? How come I didn't know?"

Who is Bai Yu? Just from the first words spoken by this somewhat muscular boy as he walked over, and the way he looked at Si Yu, Bai Yu was certain that he secretly loved Si Yu.

To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, Bai Yu pulled away from Si Yu's arms and moved to the side, showing that she was not interested in Si Yu.

This scene instantly relieved Wang Daobo, who had been feeling somewhat conflicted, because he realized that Bai Yu's feelings for Si Yu didn't seem to be romantic.

But the next moment, Si Yu's words made his heart clench again.

"My younger brother is someone I've adopted. He's a freshman in college now, and there's a lot you don't know about him."

Si Yu said this very casually, as if it were no problem at all for him to hug and cuddle with a younger brother he had recognized.

How could Wang Daobo not care? He originally thought it was a younger brother with some kind of family relationship, but it turned out that there was no blood relation at all. This is how a younger brother can develop into a real younger brother.

"Oh, you're so close to your brother? I initially thought you two were in that kind of relationship, hahaha~"

Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment was clearly visible on Wang Daobo's face.

Bai Yu could tell that this rather strong-looking boy didn't seem to be very good at hiding his feelings from the girl he liked.

To waver just because of Si Yu's words shows a lack of mental fortitude. Chapter 247 Bad Thoughts (Monthly Bonus 25)

Si Yu had absolutely no feelings for Wang Daobo. Before she could feel care and concern from Bai Yu, Si Yu had a defensive barrier around everyone.

Even if she seemed to be deliberately flirting with Bai Yu at first, it was just because she was curious about Bai Yu's personality. You could say she inexplicably wanted to get close to him, a very strange feeling.

But the more she got to know Bai Yu, the more curious she became about him, and eventually she began to experience many of the emotions she had always wanted to feel from him.

That was completely different from other boys; there was no affectation, no pretense, and no ulterior motives.

Everything seemed so beautiful.

Now, it can be said that Si Yu's biggest concern is Bai Yu, because she only cares about Bai Yu. She has long since indirectly regarded Bai Yu as her closest family member and psychological support. Si Yu always has a feeling that she should choose Bai Yu.

This is not a good thing for Bai Yu, but he has not yet fully realized that the situation is more serious than he imagined.

"My brother and I have always been this close, is there a problem?"

Si Yu's words had a different meaning. It seemed to be showing that she and Bai Yu had always been close, but it was also indirectly telling Wang Daobo that what business was it of his, an outsider, with her and Bai Yu's affairs?

However, it's quite obvious that Wang Daobo doesn't seem to understand this deeper meaning due to his low emotional intelligence.

"Oh, so what about our agreement that the loser treats? My skills aren't as good as yours, so I'll definitely lose if we keep playing. How about I treat you tonight?"

Si Yu chose to refuse the invitation directly. She felt that she had to fulfill her responsibility as an older sister. Bai Yu was injured, so she had to cook for him tonight.

"No need, thank you for your hospitality. The outcome is still uncertain, let's talk about it next time we play ball together."

With that, Si Yu ignored Wang Daobo, who was standing not far away, and instead turned to Bai Yu, asking softly.

"Let's go to my sister's for dinner tonight. She hasn't had much time lately because she's been preparing for exams. We're lucky she ran into you today, otherwise I don't know when I'd have time to cook for you, okay?"

Hearing Si Yu's words, Bai Yu was not going to agree so easily. Although Si Yu was still a very nice mature and older sister type when she was in a stable condition, what if she was not in a stable condition after returning home?

"No need, I'll just go eat with my roommates later, what can I do for you?"

These words made Si Yu feel that Bai Yu was deliberately being a little distant from her, and that her politeness was a little excessive.

"No, your sister has to cook for you today. Who will take care of you with your injured right hand? If your sister doesn't take care of you, do you expect Mom to?"

That's outrageous! That's really outrageous. The first part sounded reasonable, but the last part, "Does that mean I need my mother to take care of me?", is completely wrong.

"Senior Siyu, my mom is my mom, and your mom is your mom. Let's not get them mixed up, shall we?"

Si Yu's explanation left Bai Yu speechless.

"Isn't the younger brother's mother the same as the older sister's mother? Is there a problem? It doesn't seem like there is, right?"

Bai Yu:

Speechless, Bai Yu was truly speechless at Si Yu's words. The problem was that she and Si Yu weren't even blood-related siblings, yet they were recognizing each other as mothers. Wasn't that absurd? Their relationship had deteriorated so quickly.

With Si Yu's persistent presence on the badminton court, the added pressure of being watched by so many people, and Wang Daobo standing not far away, the situation was dire.

This guy just stood there, looking dazed, whether he was going to stay or leave.

What could Bai Yu do in the end? She could only give in to Si Yu, otherwise this back-and-forth would inevitably lead to problems sooner or later.

Moreover, this might indirectly attract a rival in love. Judging from Wang Daobo's expression, he doesn't seem very satisfied with this guy whom Si Yu calls her younger brother.

Si Yu's home wasn't particularly far from the school, and Bai Yu had been there more than once or twice.

It was the same black motorcycle, but this time Si Yu wasn't driving very fast, as if he was mindful of Bai Yu's injuries.

After arriving home, Si Yu took Bai Yu to his house and spoke to him as if comforting a child.

"Little brother, you can sit and play by yourself for a while. I'm going out to buy groceries. If you're bored, you can play games in my room. Be a good boy and wait for me to come back, okay?"

Before leaving, Si Yu even made a heart shape with her hands to Bai Yufeng.

This doesn't look like something a sister should do at all!

As soon as Si Yu left, Bai Yu had the thought that she should slip away right then and there.

But just as he got up to leave, he noticed a photograph stuck between the cabinet and drawer under the coffee table.

Originally, Bai Yu didn't need to check what kind of photo it was, since it was just a photo.

As is human nature, everyone has a sense of curiosity, and Bai Yu was no exception. Unable to resist her curiosity, she subconsciously reached into the gap in the cabinet and took out the photo.

This photo looks a bit old; some parts have started to fade.

The photo shows a family portrait of three people. The background appears to be in front of a villa courtyard. There is a tall man and a noblewoman who looks seven or eight parts like Si Yu, with a little girl in the middle.

This girl looks like a beautiful porcelain doll. If you look closely, isn't that little girl just like Si Yu when she was a child?

Although the photo is a bit faded, you can still tell that Si Yu was a beauty from a young age, the kind of girl who was very pretty even as a child.

Logically speaking, it's just a photo, nothing special, but Bai Yu was stunned when she looked at the back of the photo.

On the back of the photo was a string of heavily faded black characters, which looked like they had been written a long time ago.

Squinting, he read it out word by word.

"Dad...Mom...I'm doing well. What should I do if I miss you?"

Bai Yu felt something was off about that sentence.

Furthermore, considering Si Yu's daily behavior and the fact that she never brings up her parents, even Bai Yu in her previous life would not know who Si Yu's parents were or what they did for a living.

Because Si Yu never mentioned it from beginning to end, and even when he did, it was just a brief mention, giving people a feeling of casualness.

But the more Bai Yu thought about it, the more she felt that things were not as simple as she had imagined, and a bad thought even began to emerge. Chapter 248 Murder to silence witnesses and then eat meat? (Reward +5)

Since something felt off, Bai Yu was definitely going to come and confirm the answer.

Si Yu didn't spend any holidays with her parents, and they even came to call her during the New Year. She spent the last hour of the New Year alone by herself.

Moreover, this wasn't the first time Bai Yu had discovered that she hadn't spent holidays with her family.

Si Yu put the photo back into the gap between the cabinet and the drawer. It seemed that Si Yu had deliberately hidden the photo. Was she afraid that someone would see it?

Bai Yu, who was originally planning to leave, chose to stay because of this uncertain and unpredictable situation.

Perhaps all the answers will only be known by asking Si Yu indirectly after he returns.

Taking out her phone, Bai Yu never denied that she was a soft-hearted person. Even though she didn't want to pay too much attention to Si Yu, she couldn't let go of that hypocritical heart.

Scrolling through the news on my phone, where even the smallest things make headlines, the world seems so absurd.

After an unknown amount of time, Si Yu finally returned carrying large and small bags of things.

As soon as the door opened, her cheerful, mature voice rang out.

"Little brother, should I make you braised beef, cold beef salad, steamed beef, or beef soup today? What kind would you like to eat?"
