44: How come I didn't notice your legs were so white before?

Chapter 44: How Did I Never Notice Your Legs Were So Pale Before?

Li Zhiyan was somewhat stunned.

Then, he looked at Wu Yuexian, who had poked her head out.

“Didn’t you say that men and women shouldn’t touch each other?”

Wu Yuexian rolled her eyes; her sophisticated aura now made her seem a bit cute.

“What are you talking about, you idiot? When you were little, didn’t you always secretly run to my room for a hug whenever you felt wronged?”

“You kept saying you wanted to sleep with me, and now you’re getting all shy.”

“Such a drama queen.”

Li Zhiyan: “…”

He once again felt the suppression of the bloodline. Being reminded of his childhood made him feel a bit embarrassed.

However, at the same time, he also felt a sense of happiness.

If Wu Yuexian hadn’t come to his house, his childhood as an only child would have been incredibly boring and dull.

Thankfully, she was there.

“I’m not going anymore, Li Yuexian. I’ll go sleep at a hotel later.”

Hearing about going to a hotel, Wu Yuexian felt a pang of heartache.

She had always been very frugal.

“You big dummy, why go to a hotel? We have a perfectly good place at home. Hotels cost several hundred yuan a night now. What a waste of money.”

“I told you to come inside, but you wouldn’t. If you’re not coming in, then just sleep on the sofa.”

With that, Wu Yuexian closed the door.

Li Zhiyan was helpless. He knew that Wu Yuexian had always been a very thrifty girl.

Her shoes and clothes were basically bought on Pinduoduo…

Naturally, she wouldn’t be willing to spend several hundred yuan a night on a hotel.

Li Zhiyan didn’t go to a hotel either and lay down on the sofa.

“This air conditioner… the living conditions here really aren’t great.”

Li Zhiyan thought to himself that once he bought a house and a car, he wouldn’t have to let his sister live like this anymore.

However, what he wanted most in his heart was to be able to have Wu Yuexian come with him.

But Li Zhiyan also knew that this was the most difficult thing to achieve.

Lying on the sofa, he just couldn’t fall asleep in such hot weather.

Meanwhile, Wu Yuexian in her room was also tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She was indeed pained by the money.

But that was only when it came to herself; if it happened to Li Zhiyan, it would be completely different…

Even if she spent a lot of money on Li Zhiyan, she would be willing.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken out all her savings to buy a Mercedes-Benz C-Class for Li Zhiyan.

More than ten minutes passed, and Wu Yuexian finally couldn’t resist.

She secretly opened the door a crack.

She saw Li Zhiyan lying on the sofa, drinking water from her cup.

He clearly looked like he couldn’t sleep.

This made Wu Yuexian feel both amused and pained. This guy really was so obedient, just lying on the sofa.

Closing the door, Wu Yuexian lay back on the bed, wiggling her beautiful legs, but no matter what, she just couldn’t fall asleep.

Ten minutes later, she finally couldn’t hold back.

She opened the door, poked her head out, and called Li Zhiyan.

“Babe.”

“Come in and sleep.”

“The air conditioning in here is very good.”

Li Zhiyan turned his head away.

“I’m not going.”

Seeing Li Zhiyan like this, Wu Yuexian also got angry.

“Li Zhiyan, do you know there’s a mountain in Sichuan and Chongqing called Mount Shudao?”

“I’m starting to count.”

“1!”

“2!”

Li Zhiyan listened to Wu Yuexian’s words, which carried the third tone of the Sichuan and Chongqing accent.

He once again felt that terrifying bloodline suppression.

“I’ll come, can’t I just come?”

Li Zhiyan was afraid that Wu Yuexian would once again pin him down and give him a beating like when they were kids.

That wouldn’t be worth it, so it was better to obediently go to sleep now.

Putting on his slippers, Li Zhiyan was about to go to Wu Yuexian’s room.

“Turn off the air conditioner, you idiot.”

“It’s such a waste of electricity to leave it on.”

Li Zhiyan turned around again, turned off the air conditioner, and obediently went to Wu Yuexian’s bedroom.

Upon entering the bedroom, Li Zhiyan closed the door and carefully surveyed Wu Yuexian’s bedroom.

Unlike the bedroom at home, this bedroom could be described as…

Pink, pink…

She really was a young girl.

There was also a large pink bear over a meter tall at the head of the bed.

And the room also had many pink decorations, looking particularly cute.

“Li Yuexian, you’re quite girlish now.”

Li Zhiyan lay directly on Wu Yuexian’s pillow. He had to admit, Wu Yuexian’s bed was very soft and had a fragrant smell.

He remembered that when Ji Mengting was home, his own bed also had this scent.

But after the divorce, that scent became very, very faint.

Li Zhiyan lay there, looking very comfortable.

That sight made Wu Yuexian’s teeth itch.

He just came in and completely took over her bed?

And he was even sleeping in the exact spot she had just been, even matching the indentations on the bed.

“Li Zhiyan, you’re lying in my spot!”

Li Zhiyan said indifferently, “Li Yuexian, didn’t you tell me to come in? If I don’t sleep here, where should I sleep?”

Li Yuexian grabbed Li Zhiyan’s arm.

Then she leaned down and stared at Li Zhiyan.

“Idiot, I’ll say it again, it’s Wu Yuexian!”

“Who told you to sleep here?”

“Go get a blanket and sleep on the floor.”

To Li Yuexian’s left, there was an empty space, the wooden floor meticulously cleaned by the neat Li Yuexian.

Taking a blanket and sleeping there was actually no problem.

The wooden floor wouldn’t make him catch a cold at night.

“Sister, can you bear to let me sleep on the floor?”

“It’s so hot sleeping on the floor.”

Wu Yuexian released Li Zhiyan and then kicked him.

“Of course I can.”

“Wait a moment, I’ll get you a blanket and a pillow.”

Wu Yuexian, barefoot, wiggled her beautiful legs and went to the wardrobe.

From inside, she took out two blankets and another pink pillow.

“Here, take your gear and sleep under the bed.”

Li Zhiyan had no way to resist the bloodline suppression, so he obediently took the blanket and went to the bedside.

Here, he could see the night sky, without a single star.

Sleeping on the floor was better than being too hot to sleep on the sofa. This weather was truly unbearable.

“Babe, I’m turning off the light.”

With that, Wu Yuexian turned off the bedside lamp, and the room grew dim.

However, in this urban area, which was full of lights, Li Zhiyan could still see clearly.

After a while, Li Zhiyan sat up.

Looking at Wu Yuexian lying there, Li Zhiyan realized that he had never really looked at this woman seriously before.

“Li Zhiyan, what are you looking at?”

Wu Yuexian suddenly looked at Li Zhiyan beside her.

“Li Yuexian, how come I never noticed your legs were so long and so pale before?”

Hearing this, Wu Yuexian instantly sat up.

“Li Zhiyan, are you asking for a beating?!”

Saying that, Wu Yuexian pounced from the bed and directly pressed down on Li Zhiyan.

She was going to have a bloodline struggle with Li Zhiyan.

Anyway, tomorrow was a day off, so she was going to properly teach this disrespectful kid a lesson.

However, it was quite clear that Wu Yuexian realized she had to beat her brother early…
