Chapter 21 A Handful of Croton Seeds!

“Do you like Cui Xiaoxin?”

The abrupt voice startled Li Muyang, who was deep in thought.

Li Muyang looked at his sister, who was wearing a pink dress and making a face in front of him. “Li Sinian, are you so childish?” he said.

Li Sinian curled her lip and said discontentedly, “What? Are you saying that I am too childish now? After seeing Sister Xiaoxin’s elegant and unhurried temperament, you start to dislike me for being childish? In the past, before Sister Xiaoxin, you didn’t care that I was childish. Why do you start feeling like this now?”

“I don’t mean that.”

“You do. You really do. Men like you love the new and hate the old. Do you think I don’t know that people always say that a handsome man has a playboy’s heart? Li Muyang, I didn’t expect that a man like you would also have a playboy’s heart. Will the girls look at you when you go to pick up hot chicks?”

“…”

Li Muyang knew that his unintentional words had hurt Li Sinian’s fragile self-esteem.

Otherwise, she would not have immediately become a fierce-looking viper.

“Ah, Sinian’s dress is so beautiful. This is a new one, isn’t it?” Li Muyang tried to turn the situation around. Every time he used this skill, Li Sinian would surrender, and then she would change the topic from criticizing Li Muyang to praising Li Sinian.

“I’ve been wearing this dress for several days, Li Muyang. I was sitting in your room for a long time last night. Didn’t you notice me?” Li Sinian jumped onto the bed, grabbed a pillow and began to hit Li Muyang’s head.

“I surrender, I surrender.” Li Muyang quickly held his head and admitted defeat. “I remember. I did see you wearing this dress last night. I know you look good no matter what you wear, but this dress is very cute and special for you.”

Li Sinian hit him harder. She gnashed her teeth and said, “You idiot, what do you mean by me being cute? Do you dislike me for having no boobs and no butt? Do you think I am not mature enough?”

“…” Li Muyang did not dare to speak again.

He found that when a woman was angry with him, she would think that his breath was polluting the air.

After covering his head with the quilt and allowing her to vent for a while, Li Muyang raised his head and looked at her with a smile. “Have you finished?” he said.

“Yes. My hands are sore.” Li Sinian threw the pillow aside, leaned against the side of the bed with Li Muyang, and grabbed an osmanthus cake to eat.

“Don’t eat any pastries at night. You will be fat,” Li Muyang said.

Li Sinian stared at him and said, “What do you mean, Li Muyang? Are you saying that I am fat now?”

“…”

Seeing Li Muyang’s speechless face, Li Sinian finally couldn’t help giggling. She grabbed an osmanthus cake and stuffed it into Li Muyang’s mouth, saying, “Brother, sometimes I think you are really ugly but also lovely.”

“I think you are always very cute.” Li Muyang said with a mouth filled with osmanthus cake.

“Of course I am,” Li Sinian shook her hair and said triumphantly. The fragrance of the Lemon shampoo made the air sour and sweet, just like Li Sinian’s character. “Brother, you haven’t answered my question yet.”

“What’s the problem?” Li Muyang played dumb.

“I’m asking if you like Sister Xiaoxin,” Li Sinian said with a dissatisfied expression. “I’m telling you, Li Muyang. Don’t try to fool me. I’ve watched you grow up. I know what you are going to do before you start.”

“I am your brother,” Li Muyang reminded her gloomily.

“Am I not telling the truth?” Li Sinian asked, rolling her eyes.

“…”

Li Sinian was right. She did watch Li Muyang grow up.

Li Muyang had been ill since he was a baby, and his body functions were very fragile. He didn’t open his eyes until the age of three, and he would sway until he was seven years old. Although Li Sinian was two years younger than him, when she was able to walk freely on the ground, Li Muyang still had to lay on the bed or crawl like a baby. When Li Muyang had to urinate or defecate, he would scream, and Li Sinian was the first person to know that he needed to solve his physiological needs.

So, she said that she knew what he was going to do before he started… It was a fact that Li Muyang would feel too ashamed of.

He had relied on his younger sister, who was two years younger than him, to take care of him since he was a child.

“Tell me quickly.” Li Sinian stuffed an osmanthus cake into Li Muyang’s mouth again. She always liked to feed him a lot of pastries, regardless of whether he could take them or not.

“I think she is a very good girl.”

“And then?”

“Then there was nothing more. She has been tutoring me and helping me with my homework, and I am very grateful to her in my heart.”

“Is there no other emotion?”

“Li Sinian—we are still students. The job of a student is to study hard. What are you thinking? Your mind is not pure.”

Li Sinian’s face was full of contempt. She stared at her brother and said, ” Li Muyang, aren’t you childish? Take a look at yourself in the mirror. Not to mention your face, which looks more than ten years older than your actual age, even a five or six-year-old child knows to look for a boyfriend and a girlfriend. But you tell me that a student’s natural duty is to study?”

“…”

“Are you going to say it or not?”

“I do have a good impression of her,” Li Muyang said with a flushed face. Li Sinian was the closest person to him and also his sister. He used to tell her whatever was on his mind. But this time, there was a different feeling. This was something that had never happened before, and he had never thought about the emotional world.

“That’s to say, you like her?”

“That’s what you’ve said.”

“It’s not up to me, but you have to tell me. If you don’t say that you like her, how can I help you chase Sister Xiaoxin and make her your girlfriend?” Li Sinian said helplessly.

“Really? Can you help me to pursue Xiaoxin?” Li Muyang said, his eyes lighting up.

“No, I can’t,” Li Sinian answered directly and neatly.

“…”

“Brother… ” Li Sinian grabbed another piece of osmanthus cake and started to push it into Li Muyang’s mouth. Li Muyang shook his head and refused.

“Just eat it.” Without saying anything, she forcibly put the osmanthus cake into Li Muyang’s mouth.

“Why… Why do you insist on making me eat this?” Li Muyang was chewing osmanthus cake in his mouth, and he said painfully, “It was you who told me that eating at night would make me fat.”

“That’s right.” Li Sinian nodded seriously. “That’s what everyone says.”

“Because I can only have a little when you eat them.” Li Sinian looked like she did this all for her brother. “Even if it will make us fat, when I think of you, who will get fat with me, the guilt in my heart will be much less.”

“…”

“Brother, I just want to talk to you about Sister Xiaoxin.” Li Sinian put the cake tray on the table and leaned her head on Li Muyang’s shoulder. She said, “What kind of person do you think Sister Xiaoxin is?”

“Didn’t I say that? She’s a very good person.”

“Yeah. She’s a really good person, but it’s a pity that she’s so good,” Li Sinian said with a sigh.

“…” Li Muyang understood what Li Sinian meant. Cui Xiaoxin was a very good person, but it was a pity that she was too good.

“Let alone her appearance and temperament, we can roughly guess what kind of person she is from her demeanor and the noble etiquette that she occasionally shows. I even asked her about herself when I was chatting with her. She is not from Jiangnan but from the capital. When her liberal arts exam is over, she will go back to Capital Heaven. The place where she really belongs.”

“Brother, I know that you like Sister Xiaoxin. I can see that this period of time is the happiest time for you in more than a decade. In the past, I tried my best to help you with your homework, but every time you were sleepy. Sister Xiaoxin can help you quickly improve your academic performance.”

“Sinian, in fact, things are not what you think.”

“Brother, I know.” Li Sinian interrupted Li Muyang’s words and said, “I know you don’t want to hurt me and don’t want to say that Sister Xiaoxin is better than me. In fact, I don’t care about this. As long as Sister Xiaoxin can help you and your academic performance can rapidly improve, I am happy. I am not jealous of Sister Xiaoxin at all. And I have also heard the cause of your leaving school. What you said has become the popular phrase of the school.”

“What?” Li Muyang looked confused. “What did I say?”

“I won’t accept it.” Li Sinian stared at her brother with burning eyes. She didn’t expect that this guy, who was bullied all day long, could have such a determined and stubborn side. When she heard the story of the matter and how he dealt with it, Li Sinian was so excited that her eyes were full of tears. Then she slipped into the teacher’s office during the lunch break and threw a handful of croton seeds in the teacup of teacher Zhao Mingzhu.
