Chapter Twenty-Five: I Don't Want to Be Treated Like an Idiot

Yu Mengmeng looked at Su Cheng's smiling face and unconsciously pursed her pink lips.

Su Cheng was already very considerate, but he's become even more so recently.

None of the people she disliked, such as Ye Zi, Qing Yin, and Xia Tianxin, showed up at home.

He cherished her as if he were putting all his heart and soul into her.

This was something Yu Mengmeng had always longed for.

At this moment, however, she sensed a kind of hypocrisy in this warmth.

Especially when she pursed her lips, Su Cheng's gaze immediately fell on her lips.

Yu Mengmeng felt a little disgusted.

Her older brother used to be gentle with her, and he never harbored such blatant thoughts.

When her brother's eyes fell on her lips, her neck, and her chest, she felt a sense of suffocation.

She could almost feel her brother imagining a certain situation in her mind.

“I’m all grown up now, brother.” Yu Mengmeng took a step back.

"I know I can't be with my brother forever."

Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, then revealed a shy, bewildered smile, his eyes bright and clear.

“You’re right. After all, we’re siblings, and we can’t be together forever… But when I heard Mengmeng say that, I felt a little sad.”

"Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could stay together forever and never change?"

Bai Weiran clapped silently in mid-air.

Beautiful, so very beautiful, it truly encapsulates desire in a refreshing and ethereal way.

Brother Cheng, I used to think you were inferior to Lin Luo, but now I realize I underestimated you.

Upon hearing this, Yu Mengmeng's expression darkened, and she remained silent for a few seconds.

"My brother is my brother, and that will never change."

She said this, but there was a hint of loneliness in her tone. Su Cheng, who was good at noticing things, certainly wouldn't let it pass, and he laughed.

"Thank you, Mengmeng."

Without pressing the matter further, he turned and went into his room.

Yu Mengmeng remained silent for a long time before returning to her room, while Bai Weiran gently descended from mid-air.

As a fellow man, he bet that Su Cheng wouldn't leave so easily tonight unless he had a backup plan.

He strolled around the room at his leisure, finally stopping in front of the refrigerator. With a flick of his finger, the refrigerator opened silently.

Inside was a pretty, semi-transparent cardboard box containing a fresh cream strawberry cake, along with seventeenth birthday candles.

Oh, a birthday cake? Nobody's home tonight.

On a birthday, a young girl loses her virginity due to the atmosphere and the emotion it evokes – it's such an old trope, it's been going on for ten years.

Xx

Yu Mengmeng is looking at her notes.

She went back to school.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't afraid at all, but Bai Weiran's appearance and the kindness she received in another world made her want to try to reach out to more people.

Perhaps there will be new discoveries?

She will still be pointed at and gossiped about.

She would think of Bai Weiran whenever this happened.

Beneath the mask, he looked quite ordinary, but his eyes were serene, exuding a composed elegance without being pretentious or profound. It was as if nothing was a big deal if you just laughed it off. She then imitated Bai Weiran's posture and expression, standing tall and looking back at him with dignity.

Surprisingly, those people then turned around and dodged.

Yu Mengmeng found this discovery interesting.

It turns out that she doesn't need to get angry or be sensitive and irritable to get along with the world so calmly.

After her attitude changed, it attracted some classmates who were willing to take the initiative to talk to her.

Although I was still curious to find out what she had done since she ran away from home.

But Yu Mengmeng did feel it—Bai Weiran kept reminding her of the importance of self-respect.

Don't chase after others. When you place yourself below others in importance, you'll naturally want to chase after them. But when you respect yourself, people around you will gravitate towards you.

After finishing a problem, Yu Mengmeng looked up, rested her chin on her hand, and twirled her pen.

She had a brilliant idea.

What if the masked man is someone who values ​​self-respect?

What kind of person can win him over?

I'm so curious—

Bai Weiran, hidden in mid-air, watched Yu Mengmeng distracted halfway through her homework, feeling somewhat speechless.

You should start doing some practice problems!

What are you thinking?

You're thinking of Su Cheng, right?

Those notes and question banks I bought for hundreds of dollars aren't for you to use for cravings while doing practice problems.

If I had this many practice problems back in the day, I'd be so happy I wouldn't even have time to think about romance!

Just then, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

The person outside naturally tried to turn the doorknob, but found the door locked from the inside. After a few seconds of silence, there was a slight awkwardness.

"Mengmeng, it's me."

“…Oh!?” Yu Mengmeng left her desk and headed towards the door. Bai Weiran, watching from behind, noticed that she was wearing her sweatpants.

As soon as Yu Mengmeng opened the door, a birthday cake with lit candles for her seventeenth birthday was presented to her, followed by Su Cheng's smiling face.

"Mengmeng, happy seventeenth birthday."

"Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~ Happy birthday to you~~" While singing, she subtly brought the cake into the room, placed it on Yu Mengmeng's table, swept the notes aside without even looking at them, and urged Yu Mengmeng to sit down with a smile.

"Come on, make a wish, blow out the candles, and eat the cake."

Every year, the family celebrates Yu Mengmeng's birthday.

But Yu Mengmeng herself didn't really like it.

Because her family celebrated for her, while they were happy, they also showed pity for her.

I'm glad she's lived another year, but I also feel sorry for her, not knowing if there will be another year.

She was relieved that her parents were away on a business trip this year.

Unexpectedly, Su Cheng brought out the cake, and, facing the flickering candlelight, smiled and urged her to make a wish.

Her previous wish was that her brother would never leave her.

Now, Yu Mengmeng clasps her hands together, but she no longer wants to make this wish.

She closed her eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Su Cheng smiled and encouraged her, "Mengmeng, what is your third wish?"

In their family, it is customary to express the third wish.

Yu Mengmeng's wish every year is to be with Su Cheng.

Su Cheng's eyes flickered with an ambiguous light. His gaze traveled from Yu Mengmeng's fair and delicate cheeks to her neck. Her simple and plain top revealed a hint of her delicate collarbone, and beneath the shadows, a small cleavage was faintly visible.

However, Yu Mengmeng's wish did not meet his expectations.

"I hope my grades will improve in the next midterm exam."

Su Cheng slowly typed out a question mark.

When did my younger sister become such a hardworking and exemplary student?

This desire to disrupt his plans made him take a deep breath, leaving him no choice but to personally intervene and salvage the situation.

"It's a wonderful wish, but you don't have to go through all that trouble, Mengmeng."

"Girls don't need to work so hard. If you can live well at home, be happy, and be healthy, that's what makes your brother happiest."

Yu Mengmeng recalled what Bai Weiran had said in the coffee shop that day.

"Mengmeng, many girls are born into a sweet trap. Others tell you that you don't need to work too hard or be too serious. Just find a stable job that will allow you to make a living. The salary doesn't need to be high, and you don't need to pursue achievements because your most important goal in life is to get married, have children, and raise them."

"Men are generally taught that they must work hard to earn money and obtain everything. The challenges encountered in this process, the skills accumulated, and the assets we earn all truly belong to us, and no one can take them away from us."

“All the challenges in this world are harsh, regardless of gender, and often even harsher on women, because they are born with a colored filter that they cannot be entrusted with important responsibilities and whose ultimate goal is to return to the family.”

But Su Cheng wouldn't tell her these things, and neither would her parents.

Yu Mengmeng laughed, murmuring the last words Bai Weiran had said to her that day.

"If I feel that I don't have any special skills, then at least I should study. With a good education, I won't have to spend my whole life trying to prove to others that I'm not stupid, and I'll face fewer difficulties in the future."

"Brother Cheng, I don't want to be seen as stupid, so I hope my grades will improve."

Yu Mengmeng smiled and blew out the candle in one gulp.

One update today, but listen to me, don't rush, don't be anxious.

There are less than 48 hours left until midnight tomorrow.
