"I'm going to take a shower first. You heat up those crab dishes for Mengmeng. She's been hiding in her room and hasn't had dinner yet."
After saying that, Bai Shimo took the towel and went straight into the bathroom, leaving Bai Weiran and Yu Mengmeng staring at each other.
Bai Weiran never imagined such a reunion.
Xx
For dinner, they ate at a seafood restaurant. To satisfy his sister's wish to eat crab, Bai Weiran ordered every crab dish on the menu, and the takeout was also a wide variety of dishes.
Both stoves in the kitchen were lit. One stove was heating up the crab roe for the rice, while the other was stir-frying the Typhoon Shelter Crab in a frying pan. As soon as the crab was heated in the pan, the aroma of garlic, scallions, fermented black beans, chili peppers, and lemongrass mixed with the fresh crab flavor burst forth, making it just as appetizing even for someone who was already full.
Not to mention there's no food yet.
Yu Mengmeng swallowed hard and stood two steps away from Bai Weiran, watching.
"...Are you done yet?"
Her tone was soft, a stark contrast to her previous mischievousness.
"Almost done," Bai Weiran replied, his hands busy frying the crab, but his doubts grew stronger.
He had just asked Yu Mengmeng a few questions, such as how she met her sister, how she got here, and what happened during the time she was abducted. She listened in a daze.
The way they look at me is like they're looking at a stranger.
It reminded him of Yu Mengmeng, who was locked in a dark room at the beginning of the mission.
She just doesn't have that much hostility or resistance now.
She knew nothing about his questions, and after asking for a long time, all she could get was that she had met Bai Shimo on the road.
She came by high-speed rail with Shimo.
That's outrageous.
So when Qin Ning arrived, there were actually three women in the room at the same time.
Bai Weiran was extremely relieved that Yu Mengmeng hadn't run out of the bedroom at the time, and at the same time realized that his act of hiding Yu Mengmeng and pretending nothing was wrong had inadvertently given away his secret to his sister.
Four dishes and a soup were served, filling the room with the fresh aroma of crab.
The girl held her bowl and ate crab roe rice without looking up or picking up any other food. Bai Weiran watched for a while, but finally couldn't resist and peeled a piece of typhoon shelter-style fried crab for her. When the crab meat was put into her bowl, Yu Mengmeng paused. She looked at the piece of crab meat, then at Bai Weiran, and after a couple of seconds of assessment, she scooped it up with a spoon and ate it.
He squinted, his face beaming with joy.
"...Do you remember who I am? Mengmeng?"
"You are... Shimo's brother."
Well, he really didn't remember.
After finishing one piece, the white-haired girl stared longingly at the whole plate of stir-fried crab, licking her lips, her desire to eat it evident.
Bai Weiran had no choice but to peel it again.
As Bai Shimo dried her hair and walked out of the bathroom, she saw a heartwarming scene before her.
"Mengmeng, don't bite your chopsticks while eating. The crab meat won't run away."
"Mmm..." She shook her head, chewing vigorously, insisting on finishing the crab meat before putting down her chopsticks.
After finishing eating, open your mouth for more.
"Crabs! We want to eat more crabs!!"
Once the game girl ate the crab, she became incredibly energetic, her voice even picking up volume, and she sat down next to Bai Weiran.
"Crab claws, I want to eat crab claws! The meat in the claws is the best!"
"There's no more claw meat left, only crab legs. Stop fooling around and eat properly!"
Bai Shimo, with a pink towel covering her head, stood by with her arms crossed for more than two minutes before slowly speaking.
"Brother, why are you so skilled at this?"
Bro, are you a professional crab expert?
Bai Weiran had already heard her come out. Since things had come to this point, he might as well go all out and confess and be treated leniently or severely if he resisted.
"Didn't you already know that?"
“I knew her before.”
Now all the mysteries that had been puzzling him have been solved.
The "little sister" who relentlessly dominated him in the game is none other than the little genius Yu Mengmeng.
Bai Shimo walked over, her little bottom not yet settled, when Bai Weiran gave her a gentle reminder.
"Blow-dry your hair first, or you'll get migraines when you get old."
Bai Shimo: "…………"
I had no choice but to go back to the bathroom.
Yu Mengmeng was on Bai Shimo's side. Upon hearing this, she accused Bai Weiran with her eyes. Bai Weiran remained unmoved and took out a whole piece of crab claw meat.
"Come on, the last steamed crab claw, open your mouth."
The girl's eyes were accusing as she ate quickly with her little mouth smacking.
Wow, it smells delicious.
Xx
So cute eating crab! (づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭?~
Chapter Twenty-Four: I Don't Want to Go Back
"So you met her around 4:40 PM on [date], about 200 meters to the right after exiting the Sisyphus Bookstore near the university, and it was raining that day, right?"
Bai Shimo nodded.
"And then you've been hiding that person in your room all this time, until today?"
Bai Shimo nodded again, and Bai Weiran rubbed his forehead and remained silent for a few seconds.
Although my younger sister has always been daring and does things that catch people off guard, this time she hid a living person in the room, and our parents didn't even notice.
He was unsure whether to scold his sister or call his parents and give them a lecture.
He entered all the details of the discussion into his phone's memo app, asking in great detail about the time, place, weather, and Yu Mengmeng's mental and physical state at the time, even more thoroughly than a police interrogation.
This is indeed a strange matter.
How did Yu Mengmeng travel to his side in another world without the help of a system?
If this is confirmed to be true, he plans to immediately stop accepting tasks from the app.
Everyone loves money, but seeking wealth and fortune through danger is not in his nature.
I only wanted to buy an apartment; I didn't want to be forced to live in one.
In the present world, he doesn't have superpowers to deal with these yandere girls. Qin Ning likes him, and Yu Mengmeng is a weak, lazy, and willful child. He can easily please her by feeding her well, drinking her well, and coaxing her. But what if a yandere with special abilities appears in the future who can't get along with him?
Even if he abandons the mission and leaves, what if the enemy still comes after him?
He only has one life, not enough for anyone to kill.
He was thinking when something suddenly occurred to him.
"...How did you manage to bring her here by high-speed rail?"
"Do I need an ID card to take the high-speed train?"
Bai Shimo gave a cute "hehe" sound, blinked, and stuck out her tongue.
"Brother, don't ask too many questions. I have my own clever plan."
The little girl, having eaten her fill of crabs, sat beside them, hugging her round little belly as she watched them talk, occasionally letting out a small burp. When she saw Bai Weiran interrogating Bai Shimo with a stern face, clearly discussing her own affairs, she became nervous.
Just as she was about to say something, Bai Weiran reached out and placed four or five candies in front of her.
The salt and mint flavor hit her head as soon as she tasted it, both sweet and cool. She squinted her eyes happily, too busy eating to talk.
Bai Shimo: …………
Having spent time with her over the years, she knew how picky Yu Mengmeng was about food.
Those who like it can eat a lot, those who think it's just okay can count the grains of rice and eat like a chick pecking at rice, and those who don't like it can simply put on a mask of pain.
She liked the candy her brother casually picked up?
Common misconception (mistake)
They have a very close relationship, and they spoil each other excessively. (Correct)
Seeing that Mengmeng had eaten the last two candies, Bai Shimo was curious about their taste and casually took one and ate it herself.
Seeing that she only had two candies left and half of her happiness had been taken away, Yu Mengmeng immediately put on a mask of pain. However, Bai Shimo was kind to her, so she couldn't lash out and could only quickly tear open the last candy and throw it into her mouth.
Food is only truly safe once it's in your stomach.
"I know her, but I can't tell you how I know her," Bai Weiran said frankly, spreading his hands.
"Okay, I understand." Bai Shimo nodded, a candy still in her mouth.
When the older brother says something that's inconvenient to say, it's a secret code between the siblings.
She won't ask any more questions.
This stems from trust.
Her brother was neither a melancholy prince nor a child or a reckless teenager who couldn't take care of himself.
Bai Shimo believed that every decision her brother made was based on rational thought and comprehensive judgment.
“You can’t keep her hidden at home forever, so let her stay with me!” Bai Weiran said.
"I will try to contact her family and send her home."
It seems that Bai Shimo initially intended to keep the person here as well.
Bai Weiran understands her younger sister very well.
Every time she was about to be caught doing something wrong, she would rush to him in a panic.
