3: Chapter 3: Sharing a room with my sister? Are you kidding me?

"Ah!" Jiang Ning was both embarrassed and angry. "Jiang Che! You—you wouldn't dare!"

Jiang Che was slightly stunned by what had just happened.

Jiang Che quickly averted his gaze from a certain spot and said sternly, "Are you going to mess with my computer again?"

"I will! You jerk!" Jiang Ning shouted, her voice thick with tears.

Seeing how stubborn she was, Jiang Che felt his temper flare, and once again...

"Jiang Che! I'm going to tell Mom and Dad!"

"Jiang Che, you jerk!"

After a few more times, Jiang Ning, feeling embarrassed, anxious, and in pain, could finally take it no longer.

She lifted her head, squeezed her eyes shut, and wailed.

The situation was getting out of hand, and there was also a hint of awkward intimacy.

Jiang Che took one look; this girl was always concerned about face, and the current situation... was certainly embarrassing for her.

He didn't continue, instead watching as the girl sobbed her heart out. A full five minutes passed before Jiang Ning shifted from wailing to soft sobbing.

Seeing that it was enough, Jiang Che lifted his arm, thinking he would let her off the hook.

To his surprise, Jiang Ning was startled when she noticed Jiang Che's movement.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Che asked.

"I—I know I was wrong, you aren't allowed to..." Jiang Ning said in a low voice, her face flushed red and tears still clinging to her cheeks.

"Who said I was going to keep spanking you? I wanted you to get down. You're a big girl now, is it appropriate to cry like this?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ning felt a bit embarrassed and retreated to the corner of the bed against the wall.

"If you know I've grown up, then... then why did you do that just now? You're not a good person either!" Jiang Ning muttered under her breath.

"What did you say?" Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, staring straight at Jiang Ning.

Having just suffered, Jiang Ning quickly shrank back. "I—I didn't say anything!"

Seeing his sister looking both angry and cowardly, Jiang Che didn't hold it against her. "Next time you use my computer, remember to save your files. Thanks to you, two hours of my work this evening went down the drain, and now I have to redo it."

After lecturing her, Jiang Che didn't stay any longer. "Lock the door and go to sleep early. Oh, and sleep on your stomach."

Watching Jiang Che's retreating back, Jiang Ning muttered something under her breath. Once the door closed, the girl slowly scooted toward the edge of the bed.

It hurts...

Thinking of what Jiang Che did just now, Jiang Ning's face suddenly turned red.

"Hmph, Stinky Jiang Che! Pervert!"

Jiang Che, who had originally planned to go to sleep, returned to his room and had to put his clothes back on. The report had to be submitted tomorrow; it looked like he would have to pull an all-nighter again.

As for that Stinky Girl Jiang Ning next door, Jiang Che wasn't worried in the slightest. They had grown up like this. As for the Stinky Girl telling Mom and Dad? Impossible. She had always been sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. Since childhood, she had made him angry countless times and been spanked countless times, but telling on him? That had never happened.

He felt no guilt; after all, he was just disciplining his sister—an education of love. It was just...

Jiang Che inexplicably thought of what had just happened... 'Ahem', Jiang Che, you animal, what are you thinking about?

Brewing a cup of coffee, Jiang Che sat down at the computer and continued working.

A long time passed. Suddenly, there were light footsteps outside the door, followed by two knocks.

Jiang Che checked his phone—it was 12:30 AM.

"Come in." Although it was a bit strange, Jiang Che told her to enter.

Still wearing her pajamas, Jiang Ning pushed the door open, holding a cup and pouting.

The two stared at each other for over ten seconds before Jiang Che finally spoke, "Are you sleepwalking? Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night, standing at my door and scaring people?"

Jiang Ning's pretty face flushed, and after a moment, she muttered something softly.

Because her voice was too quiet, Jiang Che couldn't hear her at all. "What did you say?"

"I'm sorry..." Jiang Ning repeated.

This time Jiang Che heard her clearly, but he felt a bit surprised.

He beckoned her over. Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked to Jiang Che's side.

Jiang Che raised his hand and placed it on Jiang Ning's head. The girl didn't dodge, just looked at him with suspicious eyes.

"You, Stinky Girl, can actually apologize? Do you have a fever? Or are you possessed by something unclean?"

Jiang Ning, her face flushed slightly, was stunned for a moment, then immediately slapped Jiang Che's hand away angrily. "Get off! You're the one with a fever! Also, I'm not stinky! I smell good!"

"You aren't feverish, yet you apologize?"

Once these words were out, Jiang Ning became even angrier, but looking at Jiang Che, who was still working overtime in the middle of the night, guilt eventually won out.

"Anyway, I caused you to stay up late. I'm sorry. I'll be more careful when I use your computer in the future."

Seeing that she was genuinely apologizing, Jiang Che was somewhat surprised, then smiled with satisfaction. "You girl, you've really grown up."

Jiang Ning was stunned. The next second, her earlobes inexplicably turned red, and she raised her hand to cover her chest. "You—I'm a girl, how can you casually comment on me here?"

After hearing this and seeing her arms tightly covering her chest, Jiang Che was instantly speechless. "Little miss, I was talking about your age. What are you thinking? With that A-cup of yours... 'ahem', let's talk about that in a couple of years."

Hearing this, Jiang Ning glared at Jiang Che in embarrassment and anger, looking like an angry little kitten. "I'm almost a C-cup, okay!"

"???" Jiang Che looked confused, then his gaze involuntarily drifted downward... This girl, is she really...???

Noticing Jiang Che's gaze, Jiang Ning flushed even more deeply, her face feeling like it was on fire. Pouting angrily, she shoved the cup in her hand toward Jiang Che.

"What is this? Did you poison it to murder me after getting spanked?"

"Hot milk! It helps you sleep! I'll poison you to death." Jiang Ning said, pouting angrily.

Seeing her gesture, a flash of realization crossed Jiang Che's eyes. When they were little, whenever this girl angered him and got spanked, her way of making up was to share her milk with him.

He hesitated for two seconds. Seeing the girl's serious expression, Jiang Che reached out and took it.

After taking two sips, he saw Jiang Ning still standing there. Jiang Che asked, "Aren't you going back to sleep?"

"I'm waiting for my cup." Jiang Ning looked at the cup in Jiang Che's hand and muttered, "I'll get some water to take back to my room in a bit."

"You aren't expecting me to drink it all in one go, are you?"

"Then I'll wait a moment." After saying this, Jiang Ning walked to the side and sat on the bed.

Seeing this, Jiang Che didn't say anything else. He put the cup on the table and continued organizing his files.

A few minutes later, Jiang Ning asked softly from behind him, "Will you be much longer?"

"About half an hour." Jiang Che replied casually.

"Oh..." Jiang Ning replied softly.

Two seconds later, Jiang Che heard a very soft whisper from behind: "I'm sorry."

"It's fine. I've already done it once, so it's much faster this time."

Jiang Ning on the bed didn't speak; she just sat there, her face slightly flushed, quietly watching her brother's back.

Twenty-plus minutes later, Jiang Che finally finished. He drank the rest of the milk in one gulp and turned around, only to see Jiang Ning on the bed, who had somehow fallen asleep leaning against the pillow.

"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning?" Jiang Che walked over, gently nudged her, and called her name twice.

Jiang Ning, who seemed very sleepy, just frowned, hummed twice, and then curled up closer to the quilt.

Jiang Che was slightly dazed. The Jiang Ning in front of him was cute and pretty, no longer like the little tag-along he remembered from the past.

Delicate eyebrows, a pretty nose, rosy lips, fair cheeks... Looking at her, Jiang Che couldn't help but want to reach out and gently touch her face.

However, after raising his hand and bringing it close, Jiang Che suddenly snapped out of it.

What are you thinking about?

Just as Jiang Che was distracted, Jiang Ning turned over and tucked her feet into the quilt.

Jiang Che had wanted to carry her back to her room, but seeing her sleeping so peacefully, he didn't have the heart to.

Helpless, he had no choice but to pull the quilt over and tuck the girl in tightly.

After turning off the computer, Jiang Che went to the room next door, but he was dumbfounded the moment he turned on the light.

The bed was covered with the girl's clothes, and they were all... underwear.
