Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

"..."

She really expressed her feelings so clearly.

Nor is it.

When Su Ming stopped responding, she continued to cook silently. Her eyes gradually blurred and her heart ached.

"But……"

"That's what I told my sister at the beginning. Even if my brother-in-law has a girlfriend, I will go and get her back. I won't lose."

"Sister, you said it too. I'm right."

"Didn't you go there with the intention of taking your brother-in-law back no matter what, even if it meant being his lover?"

"..."

"I don't have the right to take it back, but... to this extent, in this place... is it okay?"

"I'm the same as you. Even though I know my brother-in-law has you and other wives... I still want to be closer."

"..."

"I won't ruin your relationship. When I go back... I will stay away from you. I will never come back."

"So...please forgive me and let me just consider the present."

The bonfire flickered.

Su Ming understood most of her self-encouraging mumbling.

An Shiyao also likes to encourage herself by talking nonsense. It seems that she will feel more confident when she speaks it out.

Hearing her extremely straightforward confession, my mood did fluctuate.

I mean, the feeling of walking on thin ice is back again.

In the final analysis, whether or not what happened today happened, An Xiaoxi would not be able to stay with An Shiyao as a close sister. She was wrong from the beginning, totally wrong.

If it is a stranger, an unfamiliar target, even with such a high favorability, there is a way to turn a positive number into a negative number.

But can we use extreme methods to treat An Xiaoxi?

"Brother-in-law."

An Xiaoxi brought a towel and wiped Su Ming's face while looking at Su Ming's face.

"If I could never grow up and stay a child forever I wouldn't be like this now."

"But people have to grow up and understand a lot of things... I can't sleep between my sister and brother-in-law like before when I grow up."

"I don't seem too greedy, do I? I just want to keep some memories."

"Brother-in-law."

"Thank you……"

"I know that if I really want to reject you, I can say something very unpleasant. But then... I don't have the courage to say no or something like that."

"Actually, my brother-in-law is a very emotional person. Very gentle. He not only thinks about my sister... but also about me."

"That's why..."

"I can't hide my feelings anymore. Instead, I want to speak them out."

"Love. Out of 100, my sister got 101, and I might be 99."

"But... I don't intend to compete with my sister at all. Just think of me as a second-rate product, that's all."

"..."

Su Ming made up his mind.

Now that things have come to this, the only thing we can do is to avoid getting worse. Never cross the last bottom line. The rest... just tread carefully.

It has nothing to do with willpower. It is force majeure. We can talk about it later. Complete the task first.

Chapter 207 This is really done in one step

12 month 6 day.

Night.

The hands of the watch hanging by the window were still turning. Only now did Su Ming realize that the small bump on the back of the watch was the knob to turn on the night light.

It couldn't be turned on before, probably because its battery is light-powered.

The hour hand points to 9 and the minute hand points to 52.

"Crack..."

An Xiaoxi was sitting by the campfire, her hands wrapped in clothes. She used a sharp piece of iron to disinfect and clean the tentacles that Su Ming had dragged back.

"..."

Su Ming can move a little bit now.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with simply drinking a glass of water, but it's like having a fever and feeling listless.

I didn't feel the fighting was fun before. I was just surprised at my own strength.

After all, in reality, apart from the duel with Xia Ye, there is no chance to risk your life to kill the enemy. Fighting with my wife and fighting with monsters, even if both are done with all my strength, the difference is huge.

The snow outside never stopped.

But the temperature was almost constant. If they were just indoors, it shouldn't be a problem for An Xiaoxi to wear thicker clothes and sit around the campfire.

"call……"

Seeing An Xiaoxi wipe the sweat from his forehead, he bent down and continued to peel off the thorns on the surface of the tentacles.

Maybe this kind of activity that makes her sweat can be good for her.

"Xiao Xi."

"Ah...brother-in-law?"

She was stunned for a moment and turned around.

"Help me get the cigarette out of my coat pocket."

"It's best not to smoke in my brother-in-law's current state, right?"

"Be more energetic."

"……Oh."

She felt in the pocket of her coat, which looked no different from a military coat, and took out her lighter and cigarette case.

But he didn't give the box to Su Ming directly. Instead, he took out a cigarette from it.

"?"

"Let me help a little."

"..."

Su Ming didn't refuse either.

"Sister...didn't you say anything about your brother-in-law smoking?"

"I told you not to touch her if you don't rinse your mouth when smoking."

"You haven't given up yet?"

"Then I did stop touching her, but she couldn't bear it."

"…It's really like my sister's style."

"I plan to quit before the baby is born."

"...Brother-in-law, based on the situation outside, will we be unable to leave here for a while?"

"Maybe."

"are you better?"

"Much better, but it will probably take another day or two to fully recover."

"..."

She poured the boiled water from the can into the bottle and handed it to Su Ming.

Was it because the flashlight and the bonfire were illuminating the room at the same time, making the environment too bright? I felt that An Xiaoxi was deliberately avoiding my sight.

"Brother-in-law."

"Ok?"

"I...might not want to go back so soon."

"Very honest."

"It has come to this point. There is no need to lie to my brother-in-law. What I mean is, you don't have to consider my thoughts. It's fine if my brother-in-law wants to go back quickly, and I won't ask what method he uses to go back...

"..."

She dug out two pieces of meat from the end of the tentacle, one large and one small, and put them in a can to cook. Cooking with instant noodle seasoning packets was considered a delicacy at this time.

12 month 7 day.

Around 0 o'clock.

After eating and drinking, An Xiaoxi turned off the flashlight. Only the swaying bonfire remained.

"Brother-in-law, only one of us can sleep. Right?"

"It's better to be safe."

"Well, I may not be able to stay awake this time, so I'll go to sleep first."

"No problem. I've slept all afternoon."

If she really wanted to sleep peacefully, Su Ming had no objection.

"..."

but.

Why do I have to grab my hands and put them on the softest places?

"Yeah. I just wanted to say..."

"Although I'm asleep, my brother-in-law can do whatever he wants to me... He can do it."

"..."

"Not just a pat on the head, but anything else... I'll be happy."

Maybe, there is no need to refuse anymore.

"Brother-in-law..."

"..."

"You haven't told me yet...what's the difference between me and my sister?"

"She wouldn't blush that much."

"Ah, that's... After all, my sister must be used to it. At the beginning, it must be the same as me now."

"At first, you looked at me like a scumbag."

"..."

"I've never had that experience before... I admired my brother-in-law from the beginning. I thought he was awesome."

"Mu Qiang? Or is it the suspension bridge effect?"

"Neither. Dad is an adult, no matter how much he loves me, he would never lie on the ground and play with me at the same height as a child. And he would never allow me to ride on his back."

"..."

"Before, I told my dad that the food they were selling was beef jerky with cute cows on the packaging. It was scary. My dad said impatiently that he was telling me that it was beef jerky. That tone... I didn't dare to ask more. My sister would explain it in a little more detail, but she wouldn't pay too much attention to my weird ideas. Only my brother-in-law was willing to get down on his feet and agree with me, saying it was really scary. He also scared me... saying that one day there might be some Fujian jerky with cute Fujian people on it. I still remember that I was so scared that I couldn't sleep that night... My brother-in-law even took me away to shiver with my sister, saying I was sleepwalking."
