After Ye Siqi left, Ye Fei and Ye Yunqi sat back down to do their howork. However, Ye Yunqi couldn't sit still. Being a very intelligent girl, she naturally sensed that Siqi had deliberately sent her away earlier. Although she usually listened to Siqi, she was extrely curious about what was said this ti. After all, there were almost no secrets between them as siblings.
"Brother, what did Siqi tell you just now?" After holding back for a while, Ye Yunqi finally couldn't resist asking.
Ye Fei naturally wouldn't tell her about his embarrassing situation. He already didn't command much authority as an elder brother in front of her. If she found out about his awkward situation, she might stop treating him like a brother altogether. So, he chuckled and said, "It's nothing. Siqi just expressed concern about my health."
"You're lying!" Ye Yunqi pouted in dissatisfaction. "I don't believe it. If Siqi was really just concerned about your health, she wouldn't have sent away. Are you going to tell or not? If you don't tell ..."
"rcy, I'll tell you." Ye Fei raised his hands in surrender. "Actually, it's simple. Siqi is a bit shy and didn't want to say it in front of you. It's also related to you."
"Siqi is shy? And it's related to ?" Ye Yunqi beca even more curious. She asked, "What exactly is it?"
Ye Fei laughed, "Siqi said my body is not strong enough and I'm too young. She wants to grow up quickly, get my body in shape, and then marry off to you along with her!"
"You have a wild imagination." Ye Yunqi scorned, "There's nobody in this world who's worthy of Siqi yet, let alone you."
"Does that an I'm only worthy of you?" Ye Fei continued to joke with a smile. He wasn't trying to tease Ye Yunqi but was trying to change the subject through banter.
"Yes, you're the most suitable for ." Ye Yunqi continued to mock him, "Suitable for fetching my shoes!"
As the siblings bantered happily, Aunt Zhang's voice ca from downstairs, "Yaoyao, you're here too."
Upon hearing Aunt Zhang's voice, the siblings fell silent. If there was anyone they feared in this house, it was definitely their second sister, Ye Siyao. Siyao was a very serious person, distant towards outsiders, caring towards family, but due to the trauma of losing her mother at a young age, she had difficulty expressing emotions. Despite knowing that Siyao cared for them as much as Siqi did, they still felt sowhat afraid of her.
Putting aside their howork once again to welco Siyao, although they were afraid of her, they were still very close to her.
Before they could leave, Siyao entered ahead of them. Siyao, despite being two years younger than Siqi, was just as beautiful. Her cold expression gave off a queenly air, making others feel distant from her, almost like a dream.
At Siyao's signal, Ye Fei and Ye Yunqi obediently sat down, behaving like well-behaved school children, not daring to move.
Seeing her younger siblings' behavior, Siyao felt a bit helpless. She didn't want them to fear her, but it seed inevitable. She had never been good at expressing emotions, always wearing a serious expression. Smiling was difficult for her, unlike Siqi's gentle and caring deanor.
Forcing a smile, Siyao asked Ye Fei, "Ye Fei, how are you doing in the military camp?"
Looking into Siyao's eyes, Ye Fei saw the sa warmth and concern as Siqi's. In that mont, he realized that Siyao also cared for him just like Siqi did. Thinking back, Siyao had always looked at him the sa way, but he had been too intimidated by her expression to notice. Suddenly feeling a sense of guilt towards Siyao, he moved his chair next to her, leaned in, rested his head on her chest, his face against her soft and warm embrace, feeling surprisingly free of impure thoughts, only warmth.
"Siyao, thank you for all these years of care," Ye Fei said sincerely.
"Silly child, we are siblings, why are you being so formal?" For the first ti, Siyao showed a genuine smile, gently stroking her younger brother's head.
Sitting on the side, Ye Yunqi was a bit stunned. She had never known that Siyao could smile so beautifully and gently. In that instant, she also understood Siyao's heart. Following Ye Fei's lead, she moved to Siyao's side and nestled into her embrace.
Holding her beloved siblings, Ye Siyao felt even happier in her heart and gently said, "You two must do well in school, alright? If there's anything, tell . Mom and Sis Siqi are very busy, so I have more free ti." After graduating, she didn't join her mother's company but instead opened a small martial arts gym. The Liu family had a set of excellent traditional martial arts, which the sisters had been practicing since childhood. Otherwise, Ye Yunqi wouldn't have beco the leader in school like Sis Siqi.
Speaking of Sis Siqi, Ye Fei asked, "Siyao, why didn't you co with Sis Siqi? She just left, and also, why didn't Mom co?"
Ye Siyao replied, "Sis Siqi called when she was coming, but I had so things to handle, so I let her co first. We just landed a big deal at the company, and Mom and Sis Siqi are too busy. Mom hasn't returned ho today either." Ye Siyao explained, although not entirely truthfully. It was true that Mom hadn't co ho, and Sis Siqi did call her, but she didn't actually have anything urgent to attend to. She intentionally separated herself from Sis Siqi not because she didn't want to be with them, but if she stayed with Sis Siqi, these two little rascals would stick to her, leaving her feeling quite left out.
Knowing they had to wake up early for classes the next day and still had a lot of howork to finish, Ye Siyao didn't stay long and left after chatting for a while.
After Ye Siyao left, the study finally quieted down, and the siblings quickly got back to their howork. They didn't want to risk being criticized by Yu Wuxia the next day.
It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the evening that they finally finished all their assignnts. Ye Siyao stretched lazily and suddenly burst into laughter.
Ye Fei looked at her sowhat puzzled, not understanding what had gotten into her. However, he didn't dare to voice his confusion and simply asked, "What's the matter?"
"I'm happy!" Ye Yunqi didn't beat around the bush. "I only realized today how good Siyao is to us. I used to be so afraid of her."
"Yeah." Ye Fei nodded in agreent. "Thinking back, we really owe Siyao an apology. We distanced ourselves from her so much, I wonder how sad she must have been."
Ye Yunqi also felt the sa, but she didn't want to dwell on this heavy topic. Now that they understood Siyao's heart, such situations wouldn't happen again. So, why think too much about it? She smiled and said, "Alright, stop acting like a philosopher. It's late, aren't you tired? Why not wash up and go to bed early?"
"Yeah, I am a bit tired." Ye Fei let go of the weighty thoughts. As long as they treated Siyao better in the future, it would be fine. "Then let's go wash up and sleep. Or, should we wash up together?"
