Chapter 50
Isn't this supposed to be the naive, innocent young master who gets used and betrayed? Why does it sound like there's a dangerous yandere vibe?
So cringeworthy.
"My little sister, a child, let me comfort her," Jiang Yan, the betrayer, explained.
"You don't acknowledge me," the young master reverted back, muttering like a hurt little boy.
Jiang Yan's heart instantly softened, then she coaxed him: "I must have misled the little friend, how could sister not acknowledge you?"
The little boy, seeming lacking a sense of security, whined: "Video call?"
Jiang Yan initiated a video call.
At this point, wasn't it whatever he said, goes?
So, when he suggested looking at sister's room, Jiang Yan agreed without a second thought. She merely thought it was her young boyfriend's curiosity and possessiveness, after all it was just a bedroom, how could he locate her based on a bedroom?
Later, Yan Xiao would use facts to tell her, yes he could, darling.
Jiang Yan let Yan Xiao cling to her for a little while before urging him to do his homework. After all, he still had to take the college entrance exam, even though he was already an adult, but Jiang Yan still felt a little guilty, afraid of affecting his exam.
With sister caring so much about him, of course Yan Xiao wouldn't mention that he had already been accepted to A University.
What he didn't know was that this effectively lowered Jiang Yan's guard, because she was studying Finance at A University!
Yan Xiao's tall and slender figure sat in front of the computer. The young master who was born into a prestigious family and showered with affection, put away his arrogance and coldness in front of his little sister, acting as an obedient puppy, his voice sweet enough to rot teeth, sticky like honey: "Sister, will you accompany me while I write for a bit?"
Jiang Yan was eating the cake sent over by the little Lolita, hearing this, she glanced over and said: "Then I'll put my phone here."
The young master cheerfully responded with an affirmative, his innocent tone deadly.
Jiang Yan felt a little guilty hearing it, if she really dumps him later, the poor young master would be heartbroken.
The simple digital alarm clock in the corner of the desk silently changed its numbers, Yan Xiao sat properly at the desk, occasionally glancing carelessly at sister's watery peach blossom eyes, then her cold, crimson crab-apple lips...
Then lowering his head, his slender fingers gripping an expensive custom fountain pen, writing and drawing on the manuscript paper, those lines of formulas were derived from the angle, direction, and time of the shadows in Jiang Yan's room. He was applying geographic knowledge to calculate Jiang Yan's location. Eventually, he could arrive at a rough target.
The faint blue veins on the back of his hand, the vigorous and powerful writing on the paper, brimming with youthful passion.
Passionate, unrestrained, yet controlled.
The elegant flying-wild-goose handwriting ultimately yielded an answer that satisfied Yan Xiao.
Yan Xiao was secretly excited, even more delighted than when he received a competition championship award. It turns out our distance is so close.
"Sister's birthday is coming up soon, I want to give sister a birthday gift," Yan Xiao suddenly said.
Only then did Jiang Yan shift her attention from the TV, dismissively saying: "No need to buy anything, if you really want to buy, just get me a skincare set."
"For the gift, I've already selected it. I'll mail it to you, can you give me your address, sister?" Yan Xiao asked seriously, with the clear voice tone characteristic of a youth.
Jiang Yan turned around completely, dealing with this tricky situation. She would eventually be revenged, but Jiang Yan still wanted to control the pace herself. She could guide the revenge step-by-step, but if she told him her address, oh, wouldn't that just be waiting for him to come looking for trouble?
Jiang Yan responded that she would send it to him later. After hanging up, she gave Yan Xiao a fake address in a remote area.
As for the gift, she could find someone to receive the mail on her behalf.
The young man happily prepared the surprise, carefully wrapping his love, almost wanting to give himself entirely. But upon seeing that message, his expression changed.
It was a very remote province, a very isolated place. Yan Xiao's expression turned indifferent as he re-calculated the data he had recorded twice before, black ink covering the originally pristine white paper, but the answer obtained was completely unrelated.
Yan Xiao stared fixedly at the message interface.
...Sister, why are you lying?
Of course, Jiang Yan was unaware that she had already exposed herself. Although A University had started classes, she had no classes these few days, happily lying at home for several days.
After her brother goes to college, she could probably break up with him, right?
...
Jiang Yan, this little betrayer, soon got her comeuppance.
The area experienced a nighttime temperature drop, the smart air conditioner raised the temperature for her, but she ended up kicking off her blanket, fortunately earning herself a cold.
Yan Xiao was extremely worried, video calling her whenever he had time.
At that time, Jiang Yan had already recovered from her fever, had just sent Lu Enen away, her throat was sore, lying lazily in bed, not wanting to say an extra word.
Yan Xiao looked at her listless, drooping eyes and pale lips, suddenly calming down.
When he first found out she lied to him, he was furious, even thinking of how to expose her despicable lie and severely retaliate. But upon seeing her sick appearance, all the sharp edges in his heart melted away.
So she lied, whatever. As long as she's fine.
Sister is so beautiful and cute, what's wrong with lying a little? Can't a girl have some self-preservation instincts? Yan Xiao calmly rationalized from her perspective.
From start to finish, Jiang Yan remained unaware that she had narrowly escaped danger.
"Sister, I miss you so much," Yan Xiao lay sideways on the wide bed, his gaze focused, fingers gently tracing the girl's eyes and brows.
"I want to stay by your side, so I can take care of you."
Jiang Yan drowsily opened her eyes for a bit, then slowly closed them again. Her long, dark eyelashes drooping down, as if resting on Yan Xiao's heart.
He found that sister slept lightly, he could rouse her awake with just a sentence, she would open her eyes briefly before falling asleep again, so adorable. But he didn't want to disturb sister's sleep anymore, quietly keeping silent, planning to find a chance to meet sister in person.
Before he could finalize the plan, the door to Jiang Yan's room opened.
Yan Xiao froze.
From the footsteps, it seemed to be a child, probably sister's younger sister. Sure enough, the girl must have put something down, then carefully took Jiang Yan's phone, upon seeing it was a video call, she expressionlessly hung up.
Yan Xiao: ...
