I wish I hadn't read her the idiom dictionary as bedtime reading when she was little.
She knows so many things!
Helpless, he let her in, trying to stop her from chattering on and on. Bai Shimo then took over his bed, rambled on about this and that, and then went to sleep on her own.
He couldn't sleep.
Bai Weiran was waiting for Bai Shimo to refute him. He knew all too well that his younger sister was rebellious. But instead of a rebuttal, he was met with Bai Shimo resting her chin on her hand and giving him a meaningful look.
"I originally thought it was a choice between two possible outcomes."
"Either you get exposed and stabbed to death, or the other party accepts and stays willingly."
Of course, she always thought the former was much more likely.
Qin Ning's reaction was completely unexpected.
She didn't devote much attention or all of her life's focus to this person who looked similar to her partner.
Qin Ning tested the strangeness, discovered the strangeness, and then quickly saw through the falsehood of this world.
Even knowing all this, she didn't rush toward her goal as if she were solving a mission or clearing a level.
She lived a good life at school, had a more pleasant relationship with her parents than ever before, and even had time to educate her love-struck, obedient daughter.
The chef arrived last.
If this dream were a game, she would leisurely complete all the side quests, explore the map, chat with familiar people, and only then embark on the main storyline.
She became calm and no longer in a hurry.
Who does this look like?
"Brother, you are such a sinful man!"
Faced with her sister's sudden accusation, Bai Weiran slowly typed a question mark.
Then I saw Bai Shimo roll back down.
"...Go back to your own room to sleep."
He reiterated his opinion, but it was not accepted.
"Is my brother in such a hurry to get rid of me because he's eager to make room for the other little sister?"
"Brother, you've forgotten your sister for the sake of a pretty girl! That's too much!"
Bai Weiran pressed his temples, where the veins were throbbing.
"No one is coming. I said I wanted to be alone. Now you should get out."
How can you be sure you can be alone?
"I will lock the door."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Xia Yanle's voice broke in.
"Excuse me, Mr. Weiran, I'd like to borrow some shower gel. I don't like the smell of the shower gel at the guesthouse. Oh, you're chatting. It's okay, I'll take it myself. I'll just borrow some shower gel and leave."
Xia Yanle walked into the bathroom as if no one else was there and took away Bai Weiran's personal toiletries.
Even while walking through the wall, it didn't forget to turn around and give a reminder.
"Mr. Weiran, remember to lock the door."
Bai Weiran remained silent, while Bai Shimo raised an eyebrow at him.
"Brother, your lock is a bit useless."
"That's because of Xia Yanle. Generally speaking, locking the door is very useful."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the French windows of the balcony. The two looked over at the same time and saw Mingguang outside, blinking his heterochromatic eyes. He was wearing a toddler-style star-patterned pajama, hugging a pillow, and looking at them expectantly. He then pushed open the French window door on his own.
"Are you guys chatting? Mingguang can't sleep right now, can he join us?"
Bai Weiran: "It's not convenient, let's do it another day!"
Mingguang gave an "oh," then left in disappointment, leaping off the balcony and disappearing instantly.
"Brother, your lock isn't very effective."
"That's Mingguang's problem. She doesn't use the door, but it's okay. I locked the balcony too." Bai Weiran remained calm.
"There won't be any more problems."
"you sure?"
The next second, the door lock clicked and gently turned from the outside.
The brother and sister both looked towards the door. The door lock was halfway turned when a quiet argument broke out outside.
"Ningning, what are you doing?! Why are you opening Bai Weiran's door?!"
"I was worried about Brother Weiran, so I came to check if he was covered up properly. And what are you doing sneaking here like this?!"
"I...I was worried that Bai Weiran would be bored at night, so I came to ask him to play games."
As the two bickered, the door slowly slid open, and through the half-open door, one could see Qin Ning and Mengmeng arguing back and forth. Mengmeng was holding a game console and many game cartridges in her arms.
They noticed that when the door opened, they simultaneously shut their mouths.
Qin Ning noticed that everyone was staring at the key in her hand, so she quickly hid it behind her back.
Bai Weiran pressed one hand to his temple.
"...Qin Ning, didn't you say that only each person has their own room key?"
Qin Ning rolled her eyes guiltily, then quickly regained her composure.
"Brother Weiran, as the coordinator of this event, I have a few room keys. It's reasonable and standard practice to have them in hand in case of any unexpected situations, right?"
As Qin Ning spoke, her gaze quickly swept over Bai Shimo beside her.
Bai Shimo smiled at her naturally, while a hint of suspicion flashed across Qin Ning's face.
Qin Ning felt like she had just fallen asleep and had a very long dream, but when she woke up and checked the time, only two hours had passed.
She doesn't remember much about her dream.
It's normal to forget what you dream about as soon as you wake up.
But she felt a warm, comfortable sensation in her chest, along with an urgency to see people.
Now she felt a sense of familiarity with Bai Shimo, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why. She glanced at Bai Shimo a few more times, her cat-like eyes narrowing as she scrutinized her like an old detective.
Bai Shimo ignored her and turned to Bai Weiran to complain in a low voice.
"Brother, locking the door like that is useless! People already have the key!"
Bai Weiran: …………
Seeing her brother's speechless expression, Bai Shimo couldn't help but chuckle, but this time she only laughed for a short while before stopping. She then threw off the covers, got out of bed, put on her slippers, and went outside.
"Let's retreat! This is pointless. My brother's bed is too hard. My own bed is much better. I'm going back!"
As she passed the two little ones by the door, she grabbed Mengmeng's arm and pulled her away.
"Mengmeng, I'm interested in playing games. Play with me! I'll play with you, and we'll party all night long!"
Caught off guard, Mengmeng, clutching a handful of game cards, watched helplessly as she drifted further and further away from Bai Weiran's door, constantly complaining.
"Ahhh, Shimo, you're terrible at video games!!"
"It's okay, you can keep beating me until dawn!"
"Oh no, beating noobs all night long is no fun!! Bai Weiran, no! I want to fight Bai Weiran!"
Bai Shimo couldn't help but reach out and flick Mengmeng's forehead, silencing her complaints.
Look at you, so useless.
So you really came here to play games with him all night?!
She glanced back and saw that Qin Ning had taken the opportunity to rush into the other person's arms and hug her tightly.
Bai Shimo looked away, as if nothing had happened.
Let's just consider it her little apology!
She felt guilty about using a dream to test someone's thoughts.
As for feeling guilty and asking his brother to repay the debt—isn't that just the right thing to do?
Brother pays for sister's debts!
Chapter Seventy-Two: Siblings, On the Beach, Chatting
Mengmeng is asleep, but she's still holding the controller in her hand.
"I'm not sleepy... I can still play... I, I can... I'm not sleepy at all..."
After making a couple of noises, she fell asleep again.
Bai Shimo was awake. She hadn't slept all night, but she didn't show any signs of fatigue.
She was scrolling through her phone when she saw a pop-up on the app showing that the progress had increased from 28% to 45%.
She raised her eyebrows in surprise and then looked at the user's login time.
The user has not logged into the task environment for ten days.
She muttered to herself in surprise.
"...Brother, what kind of move is that?"
"Has it evolved to the point where you can progress through missions without logging in?"
She turned to look out the window. All was quiet except for a faint glimmer of dawn appearing on the horizon where the sea meets the sky.
It was still dark around her, but she saw a figure leave through the door of the guesthouse.
Bai Shimo smiled, covered Mengmeng with a blanket, and tiptoed out.
The beach in the early morning, with the tide just receding, leaves behind a thin, fine, and soft layer of sand.
