Episode 4

A few hours passed while she tried on all the clothes. Xin Yu threw herself on the sofa. It is just clothing, but it takes a lot of energy and makes her body feel numb.

“Ugh, are we done yet?”

Qianfan walks toward her and sits beside her. He simply handed her orange juice before sitting beside her.

“Relax. Here, have a sip.”

Xin Yu took it. After a few seconds, she had already finished the juice. She put the glass on the table and relaxed after seeing Mr. Li talk with one of his workers.

“Are you that thirsty?" "Did you need some more?”

“It's okay. Thank you for the offering.”

Xin Yu, playing with her bangs. She is still not used to it after being cut down. She notices that Mr. Li keeps talking about his work, even though she is finished with almost all the designs that he bought today.

She looks at him from behind. Mr. Li has a nice body. His wide shoulders, his small waist, and, more importantly, his slim waist She already imagines that Mr. Li has a six-pack, but he has one. She kept looking at Mr. Li without blinking. Qianfan, who sits beside her, pokes her cheek

“There's also a handsome man beside you; why can't you stop looking at him?”

Qianfan looked from top to bottom at Mr. Li's body.

“Well, he's got a pretty nice ass, so~,”

“I'm not even,”

Before Xin Yu could answer, Mr. Li walked toward them.

“There need to be some adjustments for your clothes. How about wearing a fake body?”

"It gets itchy if you wear it for too long. Maybe because of sweat? And it's kind of big at both armpits.”

“Okay, give it to her, and she will try to do something about it.”

“Okay,”

Xin Yu said, passing the fake body to one of the workers. Now, she wants to eat something because it's been a few hours since she came here. After all, it's already night. She even skips her lunch because of this.

“Okay, so after this,”

Grgrgrgrgr… The sound from Xin Yu's stomach Xin Yu's face began to turn as red as tomatoes when both of them looked at her.

“What? "Never heard someone's stomach before?”

Xin Yu closes her eyes with both of her hands. Of course, it's embarrassing; if it's just his brother, she will not care at all, but it happens in front of them. Oh, she feels like her soul just left her alone.

"You are such a terrible man, Li Jue.” “She is still young and needs more protein.” “How will she become beautiful if she always skips her meals?”

Qianfan simply shook his head in disbelief at his friend's actions. He also feels hungry, but he's already used to it.

“I'm sorry, I was way~ too focused on doing this and forgot about it.” “All of you can stop and have a rest." We will continue tomorrow morning.”

The workers even liked celebrating their freedom after Mr. Li said that. Their pale faces suddenly became brighter. All of them quickly cleaned up to leave and have a rest.

“Now, shall we eat something?”

Xin Yu looked at him, eagerly nodding and agreeing, then nodded. Three of them walked past the living room and reached a big table. Three of them saw Huang waiting for them.

“Where were you guys?”

Xin Yu quickly went beside Huang and sat.

“Did you cut your hair?” Now all of  his attention goes to Xin Yu

“Yes, am I handsome?” By looking at him, she smiles. Huang nods quickly. Oh, how adorable the way he acts in front of her is.

It’s dangerous. Both of them are way too beautiful to sit next to each other. If a stranger sees this, they will think that they are a gay couple.

They just laughed at each other and forgot that two other people were in front of them.

“Ehem,”

Both of them quickly turn their heads and look at each other. Qianfan was recording their behavior while Mr. Li looked at them with crossed arms.

“Can we eat now?”

“Ah, yes. Of course,”

Xin Yu quickly nodded. Yes, she came here because she was starving. They were waiting for the food to arrive. Meanwhile, Qianfan shows the video where Xin Yu didn't fall for Mr. Li’s charm.

“This is why I don't trust you with my sister, Mr. Li.” “ If someone does that again, quickly kick his balls.”

“Hum, should I?” she raised her eyebrows

“Ugh, did you hate me that way?”

“I don't know. It depends on your performance.”

Mr. Li just squinted his eyes. There's no use fighting with him anyway. As they were talking, the food was served.

“After this, let's go to my room.” “I need to show you something,” Huang says, turning to face her. Now she's enjoying the dessert. She just nods and continues to eat, while Mr. Li and Qianfan have already left the table to discuss tomorrow's event.

As soon as she finished the dessert, the maids quickly took the plate and cleaned the table. It's just as quick as lightning. Xin Yu pushes the wheelchair toward the living room.

“So where did I sleep, and where's Qianfan?” She asked when she saw Mr.Li sitting alone on the sofa.

“Ah, your room is beside Huang's room and he's already gone home.”

“Oh,”

“You're just going to ask for him?” “How about me?”

“Should I?” She mumbles to herself,

“Mr. Li, goodnight, and have a good rest.” “Let go, sis,”

Mr. Li says with an unsatisfied face. He simply dismisses the question and returns to his phone.

“Ah, Xin Yu. Tomorrow, make sure to wake up early.” “We've got a big day tomorrow,”

“Alright.” “Have a good rest, Mr. Li.”

He winked and walked away from them both.

“Go that way.” He pointed out the way. “The lift is that way,”

“Wow, lift?”

“What do you expect from rich people?” he shrugged

Xin Yu and Huang took a few minutes to reach Huang's room.

“I'm going to take a quick shower.”

 “The sweat makes my body stick.” She wipes her sweat with her hands.

She looks around. “Where should I take a bath?”

“Mr. Li already assigned your room next to mine.”

“Alright then, see you later.”

"Sure, talk to you later," Xin Yu says as he assists his brother to his room before she goes to hers. She puts her phone on the bed and gets ready for a bath.

“Ah, I should tell my aunt.”

Xin Yu wraps herself in a towel and fetches her phone, opening messages. She needs to tell her aunt so that she doesn't worry about her.

I'm sleeping outside tonight. Don't worry about me.

She paused. Did I need to tell her that? I mean, she doesn't even know that Xin Yu was here with her brother. She erased all the text and went to the bathroom.

The sound of water rushing out and dripping washes away all her thoughts. She plays with her hair. She closed her eyes and didn't want to be negative, though her body was.

Their aunt hates her. Even Xin Yu doesn't know why. Every time she wants to get her attention, she always turns to Huang. She can't hate Huang because this was not even his fault in the beginning. But she hopes that her aunt will glance at her one day.

The reason why Xin Yu didn't know about Huang's sponsorship was that her aunt sent her to another city to find extra money for Huang. Is it stupid? No matter how many times she wanted to experience learning like Huang, all she received was just a beating from her aunt.

“You're just a little girl." When you're grown up, you need to know how to get married and have children! "There's no need for you to learn like Huang when you are just an idiot!”

She gasped. The memories are from when she was 7 years old. It's painful when her aunt suddenly changes into someone she no longer knows. All her memories of when they were happy vanished as soon as she became aggressive toward Xin Yu.

She quickly exited the bathroom and went to the closet to check on some clothes. Well, Mr. Li has prepared some clothes for her, but maybe she needs to bring her underwear.

She puts the towel on her hair without drying it. She just walked off to Huang's room when she heard he was talking with someone

“Yeah. You shouldn't worry about it, Aunty. I'm fine. Yes, okay, goodnight,”

Huang called off and put the phone beside him. Xin Yu knocked and entered the room

"You're here," Huang said, a smile on his face. He taps on his bed, asking her to sit beside him

“Is that aunt?”

Huang nodded. He knows how much she wants their aunt's attention. That's why he's determined to leave this place with her.

She could sense how his thoughts came to a halt when he noticed her wet hair, with droplets falling on her shirt. He's taking the wet towel on top of her head and brushing it gently.

“Why are you getting out without drying your hair out?”

“Just because~”

Huang just sighs. He brushes her hair gently, with her giggling surrounding the room.

"So, why are you calling me?" "Did you need me or something?”

“I'm going to help you,”

“Eh? By what? What do you mean by "help" when your state is like this? Just don't worry about me and focus on healing.”

“Sis, when you step on that campus, you'll become me." So that's why you need to know all the contacts I have to interact with.”

“Oh, you’re right. Hehe,”

Huang takes his phone beside him and searches for something on it. He gives his phone to her when he’s finished searching. She looked at his phone and saw a photo of him with a tall guy next to him.

“Who is this?”

“This is my friend." "His name is Wang. Wang Bingwen," he says.

He slides out a classmate's photos.

“These were my classmates." "I will tell them their name, but first, you also need to know the teacher's name.”

Xin Yu nodded. Both of them spent their nights learning about Huang’s contact. It took a few hours before they stopped. Huang yawning. It means that he needs to stop and get some rest.

“Are you sure you won’t have any problems?”

“Of course, I am sure." After all, you haven't seen each other in over two months. "So it won't be weird if I don't know their name.”

“Sis,”

“Okay, okay. I will remember their names. Chills~ the school starts next week.”

Xin Yu gets off the bed. She pulls the blanket over Huang's whole body.

“I'm not a child,”

“Yeah, but you're still my little brother." " Goodnight,”

“Goodnight,”

Xin Yu switches off the light and closes the door. She sighed. This is her path, and she needs to succeed no matter what it takes. As soon as she swung her body, she saw Mr. Li leaning against the wall, watching Xin Yu wander from the room.

“Did Huang need some bedtime stories?”

“Heh. Well, he's still a kid.”

Mr. Li just grins when she is messing with him. He walked up to her and smiled.

“If you're worried about this, we can stop it.” “But, of course, there's some compensation," he chuckles between sentences.

“I won't be backing out." I already signed up, so I need to do this: "After all, I guarantee that my "sponsorship" will take care of me when I'm in danger, right?”

“Huh, how can you be sure about that?”

“The event is tomorrow, and Mr. Li can't simply choose someone randomly within a certain amount of time." " Even if Mr.Li finds someone...”

“What with these pauses?”

“Well, you can't find someone as brilliant as me.”

“Huh, so confident,”

“Of course. Well, goodnight, Mr. Li. Have a nice dream.”

She closed the door and went to bed. Meanwhile, Mr. Li didn't stop grinning, waiting for tomorrow.

"I hope you won't disappoint me," he says as he walks away.
