Chapter 273: Such an Open-Minded Big Sister
Translator: Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
The issue of whether Xu Jian could take care of his troubleso uncle aside, at least his wish was a beautiful one. Ye Shuang was not interested attacking other people’s dreams; life had to be filled with hope after all.
Therefore, after briefly updating each other about the situation in San Lin City and confirming that Xu Jian’s work was progressing well—other than the potential relationship issue with Qiu Yu due to the chaos that was related to Wang Xueyu—it seed that work there was going smoothly.
The next step was to wait patiently for Xu Jian and Anthony to get more incriminating evidence.
...
“My birthday...” Anthony ca over to share breakfast with a pair of watery eyes early in the morning. As he ate, his cheeks filled up. At the sa ti, he managed to howl with tears. “Xiao Shuang, you don’t love anymore.”
“I’ve never loved you. Please pass the vinegar, thank you,” Ye Shuang said calmly. If anyone else had the experience of rearing a large golden retriever, they would also be able to face the daily grousing from Anthony calmly like Ye Shuang.
Han Chu chewed on the stead bun with a lack of pity. He took a sip of the soy milk, glanced at Anthony, and told Ye Shuang, “He wants you to make him a big dinner, bake a cake... The birthday is not that important—the important thing is for you to pay him so attention.”
He paused and added with a nod, “As I told you earlier, this is them fighting for your attention. Before you stop praising Ol’ K, Tony’s birthday will never end.”
Then, he welcod another pause before continuing. “Also, I want to add that if you’re baking a cake, I prefer strawberry cheesecake.”
Ye Shuang almost choked. She held the spoon and looked at the boys before sighing. “Do you people still have any sha after making such demands?”
Ever since Han Chu and Anthony officially moved in next door, the two had kept coming over to her place to steal food. To put it more accurately, initially, there had only been the shaless Anthony, but after Ye Shuang’s secret was revealed, even Han Chu’s shalessness had found a new breakthrough.
Based on what Anthony said, her cooking was the best while Han Chu rationally listed off the inconvenience and the lack of cleanliness of calling take-out. In the end, he even gave her so money for the food. Those were the reasons that these two would be at Ye Shuang’s dining table in the morning.
“A birthday celebration...” Ye Shuang thought about it. “After all, I cook on a regular basis, so making a few more dishes won’t be that much of an inconvenience. However, I’ll have to see if I have other arrangents later in the day or not.”
Han Chu frowned. “You have sothing scheduled today?”
If she really had sothing to do, then she could ignore Anthony. After all, the man was only there to make a fuss.
“Temporarily, no.” Ye Shuang shook her head. “But no one can be sure. Of course, I hope it’ll be a peaceful day, but you can’t never tell...”
Before she even finished, the thing that she could not tell arrived.
Little Brother Ye pushed the door open with a bang and rushed in with a big commotion. Then he scread at Ye Shuang, “Help , this is an ergency! I need to borrow so money!”
When he noticed the other two, he greeted them hurriedly, “Morning, Brother Han. Tony is also here?”
“How much do you want?” Ye Shuang stood up to grab her wallet and then started counting the money.
“One thousand! It’s my girlfriend’s birthday!” Little Brother Ye grinned in ingratiation. “I’d forgotten all about it. Thankfully, I have my friends to remind ... Hmm, it should be enough to go out for a dinner and buy a present.”
Ye Shuang paused and then raised her head to look at her brother helplessly for three seconds. In the end, she pulled out the thousand and tossed it to him. “The cost of pursuing your girlfriend really is not low.”
This was even her biological brother. She should have known that the sister was incomparable to the woman outside. When she or Mother Ye celebrated their birthdays, the kid always waited in the living room for the food to be served and only greeted them with a happy birthday while he stuffed his face with food.
No wonder the relationship between the mother and the girlfriend was never good. If this was an understanding man, then it would have been fine, but they were unlucky enough to run into Little Brother Ye, who obviously pampered his girlfriend more than his family. The comparison was enough to make them cough blood.
Listening to him, Anthony was confused. “Celebrating a birthday with your girlfriend? Xiao Feng, haven’t you been saving up for the occasion?”
Han Chu answered without taking his face from the phone, “The students in our country do not like to work to save money, unless they’re forced to. Before they’re willing, all their expenses are borne by their family.”
“Before they’re willing?” Anthony was always learning.
“In other words,” Han Chu concluded, “university graduation doesn’t count, starting work doesn’t count, and marriage doesn’t count.... In any case, even if they have their own children, they might still retain the habit of asking for money from ho. Unless they are willing to shoulder this responsibility or it is geographically too inconvenient, there’s a possibility they will continue to spend their parent’s savings. Of course, there is also the reason that the parents are worried about their children.”
Anthony understood it imdiately. “I hear the family ties in your family are very close. Are you referring to this?”
Ye Shuang suspected that this man was being sarcastic and was silently mocking them. However, Han Chu knew that Anthony rely did not have the concept in his mind. His understanding of the family structure ca from his impression of other people. For example, when an Arican teen wanted to buy sothing, they would work to save the money while Chinese children would often find their mothers. It was really hard to tell which was better—this was rely a difference in environnt and family influence.
“Sis, are Brother Han and Tony mocking ?” Little Brother Ye cried.
“Just look at yourself, and what do you think?” Ye Shuang complained. “When have you ever gifted sothing worth more than 100? If you’ve done that, I can die in peace.”
After sending Little Brother Ye away, the three continued their breakfast. Ye Shuang decided to fulfill Anthony’s unreasonable demand, grabbed her keys, and went shopping for ingredients. Han Chu went back to the sofa to work on his computer, expressing fully his desire to not leave ho whereas Anthony happily tagged along.
Therefore, after confirming that he would be paying the bill, carrying the bags, and driving the car, Ye Shuang and Anthony departed happily.
...
“Tony, please stop here,” Ye Shuang suddenly said when the car was slowly rolling in the traffic jam.
“Even though I don’t quite understand the traffic law in your country, I’m sure it’s illegal to stop the car in the middle of the road.” Anthony used his fingers to tap rhythmically on the steering wheel. Then he turned to say, “Also, baby, do you think there’s a difference between stopping and moving, given our current speed?”
Ye Shuang thought about it and pulled out her phone to call Little Brother Ye. She turned to look down a certain direction. “Xiao Feng, where are you now?”
“Of course, I’m with my girlfriend,” Little Brother Ye answered. The man was so used to telling lies that he did not even pause.
“Oh?” Ye Shuang raised her brow and continued to confirm that one of the guys who was holding a large shopping bag on the opposite street was her brother, and then she chuckled. “Even though I’m an open-minded big sister, Xiao Feng... how co you never told that you’re gay before?”
That’s right, gay!
Her vision was not so bad that she was unable to recognize soone’s sex from a distance. With Ye Shuang’s current mory, it was impossible for her to forget anything, and Ye Shuang knew all of Little Brother Ye’s dormitory mates.
Little Brother Ye looked around with panic, and Ye Shuang saw this clearly. She saw the kid freeze where he was and then look around him with alertness and anxiety. “He he... Sis, are you ssing with ?”
While he was looking around, Little Brother Ye seed to not want to face the truth yet, and he kept on struggling with his words.
Ye Shuang did not want to waste ti, so she turned to order Anthony, “Tony, press on the horn.”
Anthony nodded and then pressed on the horn like he was playing the drums. After all, they were stuck in traffic, and many people were using their horns, so he was not the only one.
When he heard the horn that ca out from the street and the phone simultaneously, Little Brother Ye fell into despair.
“He he... is there anything you wish to say for yourself?” Ye Shuang smiled, but it did not reach her eyes.
Little Brother Ye gripped the phone and was covered with sweat. His friends from the dormitory also finally noticed that sothing was wrong, so they stopped. “Xiao Feng, what’s up?”
“Er... sis.” Little Brother Ye tried to change the topic. “Actually, this is just a misunderstanding.”
“Good! I’m sure I want to hear this story.” Ye Shuang rolled down the window and waved happily at the three young n who looked like they had just been struck by lightning. She smiled extrely gently. “You can run, but you can’t hide... If you can, try to hide from forever.”
Just as Little Brother Ye was crying, one of the boys finally recovered from the shock of eting Ye Shuang. He sighed and grabbed the phone from Little Brother Ye. With so sha and embarrassnt, he said, “Sister Shuang, actually, Xiao Feng didn’t an to lie to you. It’s because my family...”
“Has so issues?” Ye Shuang rolled the window back up and told Anthony to drive the car to the nearby parking lot. “Stand there and wait for . No matter the issue, we can talk this over slowly.”
“...Okay, we’ll wait for you here.”
