Chapter 457: Shuiling, Hug Me Tight.
Yin Muchen sat up quickly, and he lifted the blankets up before he dashed into the washroom.
There was the sound of the girl sobbing inside the washroom. “Wa wa wa”
“What’s wrong?” He pulled the frosted gla.s.s door as he asked, feeling panicked.
He only saw the girl standing underneath the shower head. Hot water was spewing out of the shower head. It was steamy and hot. He cast his gaze downwards and looked at the gentle and slim figure. She was afraid as she curled herself up in a corner. She was only eight years old. She had yet to grow, but her skin was fair and smooth, and it was so eye-catching. Anyone who saw her would feel out of breath.
Yin Muchen stretched his hand out to hold the towel. He bent over and wrapped the towel around the girl’s body. He carried her over to face him as he said, “What’s wrong? Say something! Did you get scalded?”
Yin Shuiling stretched her fair slim arms out of the towel as she hugged Yin Muchen’s neck tight. She pouted her small cherry like lips as she sobbed. “Older Brother, there is a mouse.”
She saw a mouse just now, and the mouse ran past her feet.
She was afraid.
Yin Muchen heaved a sigh of relief. He slowly stretched his hand out and patted her back for a few moments. “The mouse is gone. Everything is fine. Don’t cry anymore. Take your shower quickly; don’t catch a cold.”
Yin Shuiling felt comforted. She stopped sobbing, but she still felt very wronged. “Older Brother, can you help me bathe then? Mummy is the one who helps me to bathe at home.”
She was still young in age. No matter whether she was in or out of her home, there would always be someone around to serve her. She had almost slipped in the bathroom just now. When she shampooed her hair, the bubbles went into her eyes. It was so painful.
Yin Muchen let go of her and looked at her tiny face. The steam warmed her pink and supple little face, and she had a healthy red blush on her face. Her skin was so supple and moist. Her lips were so tiny. Her think, pink lips — they were so juicy, and even more attractive than a cherry.
Yin Muchen’s gaze became a little unnatural. She did not know anything at all, but he was 18 years old already. The things that he should know, he knew all about them.
He shut his eyes and took the towel covering her body off. “I will help you to shampoo your hair. After we wash your hair, you use some shower gel to clean your body and use water to wash it off. I will stand beside you to wait for you.”
Yin Shuiling pondered for a moment. She felt that Older Brother’s proposal was fine. “Okay then.”
Yin Muchen washed her hair for her. Her hair was silky, and no matter who looked at her, it was obvious that she was someone who was raised preciously.
Her hair was very long. It was around the dimples on her back, and he accidentally touched her dimples of her back when he went along with the flow of water. His fingers felt as if they were electrocuted, and he withdrew them in a hurry.
“I am done. You should wash up by yourself.” He stood up and opened the gla.s.s door.
“Older Brother. ” Yin Shuiling looked at him. “Older Brother, your face is red now; why are you blus.h.i.+ng?”
Yin Muchen was really blus.h.i.+ng. The youth’s fair, handsome face looked unnatural, and even his earlobes were red.
“I… I am not blus.h.i.+ng, I just feel hot,” he replied calmly.
Was that right?
Yin Shuiling did not believe it completely. Her teacher told her that when someone blushed, it could be because of embarra.s.sment or shyness. Which feeling did Older Brother feel then?
Her small head couldn’t come up with an answer, so she went to shower.
…
After taking her bath, Yin Shuiling sat on the bed. She took the dry towel in her hands and handed it over to Yin Muchen. “Older Brother, there is no hairdryer here. Can you help me dry my hair?”
Could he say no?
Yin Muchen could also tell now: this small girl was not being coy, but she was being sticky with him.
He sat on the bed. The girl turned around to hug her favourite h.e.l.lo Kitty doll, and he helped her to dry her hair.
“Little kitty, we are going to sleep now. You will sleep with me tonight.” The girl used her small hand to poke kitty’s small face, and she spoke to it softly.
Yin Muchen felt that she was being very childish, but he could not blame her for being childish. She was still at the age to do so.
He used the towel to dry her hair gently. His gaze fell on her back profile. She was way too young. She was merely a tiny bundle before his eyes. She removed her vest, and she wore a lace s.h.i.+rt with pink cotton shorts. Her slim legs were curled up to a side femininely. Her small feet were pink and sparkling, with her toenails bright like a seash.e.l.l.
Yin Muchen cast his gaze elsewhere. He used his left hand to take the blanket over as he covered her small thighs with it.
“Your hair is almost dry now. Go and sleep quickly.” He got up from the bed.
Yin Shuiling saw her older brother walk to his own sleeping mat, and he lay down to sleep.
Yin Shuiling lay down on the side of the bed. She hugged Kitty in her embrace. She looked at Older Brother’s handsome and beautiful face as she asked, “Older Brother, why are you not sleeping together with me?”
Yin Muchen did not open his eyes. “Because, I am not your biological older brother.”
“Then, if you are my biological older brother, could you sleep together with me?”
The girl’s gentle and coy voice could not stop penetrating his ears. He decided to turn around and left her with the view of his back.
She did not understand this problem right now, but she would probably understand it better when she got older.
Yin Muchen wanted to sleep, but at this moment, there was a rustling sound that came from his back. The corner of his blanket by his side was lifted up as a tiny, soft, and fragrant figure pushed her way inside.
He opened his eyes in the darkness. “Yin Shuiling, are you not going to sleep?”
Yin Shuiling tugged on his s.h.i.+rt with both small hands. “Older Brother, I am afraid to sleep by myself. There is something at the window…”
Yin Muchen looked towards the direction of the window. There was someone who hung their clothes near the window, and that piece of clothing was flowing with the wind. In the girl’s eyes, it probably resembled a ghost.
The anger in his heart dissipated a bit, and he got more frustrated instead. “That is a piece of clothing… Forget it. You close your eyes and sleep then.”
“Oh.” Yin Shuiling used her small body as she went closer to her older brother. She placed herself directly on her older brother’s back. Her small head coyly nudged her older brother’s handsome back as she said, “Older Brother, why don’t you go home with me? Is it because what I said this morning? Older Brother, I am sorry. I will apologize to you. Wahh. In the beginning I thought you were going to s.n.a.t.c.h my father’s love away from me, so I despised you at that time.”
Yin Muchen did not say anything, and he closed his eyes to sleep.
“Older Brother, can you go home with me tomorrow? I like you very very much now. I want to play together with you. In the future, I will treat you very very well.”
Older Brother still did not say anything. Yin Shuiling had a pout on her exquisite face as she said, “Older Brother, I will not bother you anymore. Good night.”
She closed her eyes as she fell asleep.
…
When Yin Shuiling opened her eyes again, it was already morning. The rays of suns.h.i.+ne were already streaming through the windows.
She sat up and kneaded her hands into small fists as she went to rub her eyes in a blurry state. “Older Brother, Older Brother. Wake up.” She called out for the boy beside her.
But when she turned to her side to have a look, Yin Muchen was no longer around.
Yin Shuiling was utterly shocked. She jumped up from the bed. She was barefooted as she went to look for her older brother. There was no one in the bathroom. Older brother had left.
“Woo woo…” Yin Shuiling started to sob, and the tears in her eyes streamed down her face. “Older Brother, Older Brother, where are you? Older Brother, you have left me all alone. Older Brother doesn’t want me anymore…”
She ran to the side of the door, and she opened the door of the room to run outside.
“Woo woo, Older Brother…”
At this moment, two men that walked past her in the corridor. They saw Yin Shuiling, and immediately stopped in their tracks.
The girl was barefoot, and they saw her fair small feet as she stepped on the carpet. The carpet was very dirty, but her small feet were like sheep’s fat. They were glowing with a regal aura. She was in a hurry as she ran. She was just dressed in shorts and lace trimmed s.h.i.+rt. Although her body had yet to mature, her long, dark hair covered her small, exquisite face, and the moment she started to sob, she sounded just like a small lamb, and it made the men tighten their abdomen as they heard her voice.
The two men licked their lips and looked at each other. “Where did this premium product come from? I have lived for such a long period of time and have yet to come across such a person like that. Listen to that voice, she will be amazing once she grows older; she would cost the man his life.”
“That’s right, look at that small face. I don’t know how many men would fight for her when she grows older. If she does not have a powerful man with high status to take care of her, she would not be able to escape from being kept as a mistress. Why don’t we…”
The two men laughed sinisterly.
Yin Shuiling sobbed as she cried wanting to look for her “Older Brother.” At this moment, someone rushed over in a hurry and covered over her small mouth.
She was totally alarmed. Another person came forward to hold onto her small feet, and she was immediately lifted up into the air.
“Older Brother.” The man who grabbed her feet was excited as his gaze turned sinister. “Have a look at her skin. It’s so smooth to touch. I almost did not get ahold of her.”
“Okay, stop with the unnecessary talk. Bring her away first. Don’t play with her so much that she dies. I want to raise her up and treat her as a money tree.”
Yin Shuiling was utterly shocked as she widened her eyes. The eight year old girl had no strength to struggle at all, and she could not even hear the sound of her own heartbeat anymore.
At this moment: “Stop right there! Who are the both of you” A familiar voice sounded out in the air.
The two men saw that their good plan was ruined, but they were still unwilling to let go of Yin Shuiling. They lifted Yin Shuiling up as they started to run even more quickly.
Yin Muchen quickly rushed over. “Stop right there; let go of my younger sister!” The youth’s features were tight, and his dark eyes were clear and stern.
Yin Shuiling also started to struggle. She opened her mouth, and she bit the person’s hand harshly.
The man was in pain. “Ah!” he screamed as he let go of Yin Shuiling.
“Older Brother, what’s wrong?”
Yin Shuiling took the chance to dash away. “Older Brother, Older Brother…”
Yin Muchen bent over, and he opened his arms wide to firmly hold onto Yin Shuiling.
“Woo woo. Older Brother, where did you go? I thought that you didn’t want me anymore… Just now, there were some bad people that caught me, and they made me feel so so painful…”
Yin Muchen had yet to have any time to comfort her, because the two men rushed over with a fierce vibe in their eyes.
“Shuiling, hug me tight. Let us run away quickly.” With one battling two, and he was only so young, he definitely could not beat the two people, so he carried Yin Shuiling as he dashed off in a flash.
Yin Shuiling used both of her slim arms to firmly hug her older brother’s neck. She buried her small head in her older brother’s embrace. The scent on her older brother’s body was so pleasant to the nose. It was clean and refres.h.i.+ng. It was the exact same scent that she had smelled last night. She was not afraid at all. She knew that her older brother would definitely protect her.
After they ran to the foot of the lift, there were many people around. The two men saw the situation and cursed softly. They could only give up, and they turned around to leave.
Yin Muchen leaned on the wall to catch his breath. He had run too fast. His heartbeat also accelerated. While he panted, he brought his hand to Yin Shuiling’s hair as he comforted her. “Everything is fine now. Those people have already run away.”
Yin Shuiling was not afraid at all, she blinked her thick eyelashes as she used her own sleeve to wipe her older brother’s sweat, “Older Brother is so brave, thank you Older Brother, for protecting Shui Ling.”
Yin Muchen looked at this happy smiling face in front of him. He put a smile on his face. He thought inside his heart, after he got older, and after the day that he had enough power to protect her came, they would not need to run away anymore.
…
After some time, and after they have confirmed that they were safe, Yin Muchen carried Yin Shuiling as they went back to the room to change their clothes.
