Chapter 166: Chapter 166 First Kiss Arc – She is not worthy of you
“Get lost, what do you know? If a man does not get married, he will never grow up. A man with a family will develop a sense of responsibility. Besides, is it not good for your elder brother to get married earlier and have children earlier? Maybe I will be able to hold my grandchildren, oh haha,” my stepmother rolled her eyes at Chu Yuan, “Bratty girl, you don’t want your elder brother to find you a sister-in-law? ”
“No!” Chu Yuan’s straightforwardness startled the three of us at the same time. A shyness flashed in the eyes of the bratty girl, but she still raised her small chin, showing that she would not be willing to give in and said, “I just don’t want Cheng Liusu to be my elder sister-in-law!”
My stepmother said with a helpless smile: “Why?”
“I just don’t like her!” Chu Yuan kicked the slippers away, leaned to the other end of the sofa, and put two little feet on my thighs inelegantly; acting like a spoiled little girl, she used her heels to tap my thighs repeatedly.
‘This wasn’t my fault, right?’ Looking at the two rising and falling feet, I was a little bit speechless.
My stepmother chuckled, “It’s not like you are going to marry her. It is fine as long as your elder brother likes her. Besides, what’s wrong with Xiao Cheng? I also like her personality.”
Speaking of it, it was not unreasonable that my stepmother liked Liusu. Liusu’s personality was indeed very similar to that of my stepmother.
“I. . .” Angry and anxious, Chu Yuan didn’t know how to respond to my stepmother. Seeing I was trying to hold back my chuckle, she began to vent all her dissatisfaction at me, “what are you laughing at? Don’t laugh!” Then the bratty girl started to kick my thighs like she was trying to crush the garlic.
My old man laughed heartily and joked with my stepmother, “Yuan Yuan is probably worried that after her elder brother gets married, no one will play with her, right?”
‘Is that really so? Maybe it is.’ I smiled bitterly inside. It seemed that she had been playing me like her toy since we were young. Maybe, she really just didn’t want to lose me, this toy.
Because I drank some wine, my stepmother was worried and insisted on letting me stay. It was getting late and I didn’t plan to leave, so I obeyed. After the alcohol started to react, I sweated a lot, so I took a shower in the bathroom. After I came out, I found out that my old man and my stepmother, who had never eaten expensive French food before, had actually finished the food that was enough for five people.
“Mom, where’s my quilt?”
“Oh, I cleaned up the room two days ago, and I put it away,” After letting out a burp, completely ruined her image, my stepmother patted the bulging belly and smiled at me, “I’ll get it for you right away.”
It was hard to imagine that a woman with an elegant temperament and looked like a beautiful flower would eat so much that she almost couldn’t stand up. She even needed her daughter’s help before getting up. I really admired my stepmother, the older she got, the more she looked like a kid. . .
“Mwah~!” When walking past by me, my stepmother suddenly grabbed my head and gave me a big kiss on my cheek. Not only did her eyes shine with tender love, but there was also a faint of playfulness, “My dear son, thank you for the supper you bought, hehe.”
Since the day she became my stepmother, this kind of kiss has not diminished gradually as I grew older. Whether my old man or Chu Yuan, they were not surprised by this. It seemed that I was the only one who felt awkward, but I couldn’t deny that I liked the feeling of being treated as a child by my stepmother. Even though I felt that I was very naive, deep maternal love was something that I had never felt when I was a child.
When I never got it, I dreamed of having it countless times. When I had it, I didn’t want to lose it. Although we were not bound by blood, my stepmother gave everything that a mother could give to me, making me feel that I was the happiest person in the world.
“Always acting like a kid.” My old man shook his head helplessly, but his face was filled with a gratifying smile. This was what he said most often about my stepmother.
“I love my son, it is none of your business?” My stepmother rolled her eyes unhappily, with a triumphant smile on her face. This was her most frequent reply to my old man.
Enjoying the harmony of the family, I felt that the fatigue I had quickly disappeared. This was my ideal family, this was the biggest pursuit of my life.
Inexplicably, I shifted my gaze to Chu Yuan, but saw this girl staring at my stepmother in a daze, thoughtfully.
Probably only G.o.d knows what Chu Yuan, this little bratty girl was thinking at the moment. . .
I threw the quilt on the bed, feeling very sleepy. I was exhausted today, and I would have more important things to do tomorrow. I couldn’t help but lie on the bed, just wanting to fall asleep quickly.
“Your pillow!”
“Ouch!” I lifted the pillow that was on my head, turned around, and said in a bad mood, “Bratty girl, do want to kill me?”
Chu Yuan snorted, and then unexpectedly sat on my bed, falling backward, she actually lay down side by side with me.
My heart skipped a beat, my nerves instinctively tightened, and I said vigilantly: “What are you doing? Why don’t you take a shower and go to bed?”
Chu Yuan turned her face to glare at me, and said in a bad mood: “I am tired, can’t I lie down for a while?”
“How can you get tired by holding a pillow?” I sat up, pushing the bratty girl’s shoulder, and said: “If you want to lie down, lie down on your own bed in your room. This is inappropriate.”
‘Is this bratty girl trying to tease me? What if my stepmother came in and saw this, she would definitely think that I wanted to do something inappropriate to her. . . Alas, Chu Nan, you are such a knave who thinks of others in terms of your own desires. If you don’t have dirty thoughts, why are you scared?’
“You didn’t even say anything when you were watching TV while hugging me at home, so what is inappropriate about lying on your bed for a while?” Chu Yuan pushed my hand away and gave me a fierce look, “I am your little sister, not Cheng Liusu.”
“What does this have anything to do with Liusu?” Had it been Liusu, who was lying next to me, I wouldn’t have needed to be nervous. I crossed my legs, smiled, and flicked Chu Yuan’s forehead, “What are you thinking again this time? Didn’t you get along with Liusu quite well during the meal?”
Chu Yuan disdainfully said, “Who gets along with her well? !”
Chu Yuan’s dislike for Liusu really made me feel a little strange, “You don’t like her?”
Chu Yuan didn’t answer but asked me, “Do you like her?”
I was dazed for a moment and smiled: “Yes. . .”
“It’s not the like between friends, but between men and women!” Chu Yuan stared at my eyes, her expression was unusually serious, and asked again: “Do you like Cheng Liusu?”
I liked Liusu, but in front of Chu Yuan, I didn’t know why I would feel embarra.s.sed to admit that. Could it be that I was actually a shy person?. . .
“You tell me why you don’t like her first, and then I’ll tell you whether I like her or not.” I was actually speechless by my response. . . ‘Alas, Chu Nan, you are too naive, too childish.’
However, I really wanted to know the answer. After all, this was a topic directly related to my future!
“You. . . I asked you first! You answer first!”
“Are you bargaining with me?” I ignored Chu Yuan’s cute angry expression, and shrugged helplessly, “Fine then, I don’t really want to know anyway.”
“I. . .” Chu Yuan sat up angrily but glared at me for a moment. Seeing that I really didn’t seem to want to know it, this girl didn’t run away in a huff like the last time, but took a deep breath, lay down again, and said, “She is too noisy, energetic, and careless. She is not suitable for you, and not worthy of you.”
The words of Chu Yuan surprised me, “Oh? So it is for my sake that you don’t like her?”
“Who, who said it is for you? You wish!” Chu Yuan was blushed when she heard this. She turned around and pulled a little distance away from me, lifting her foot and wanting to kick me, but it was quickly grabbed by me.
Seeing that her surprise attack had failed, her face became even rosier, “She doesn’t know how to cook and likes to drink. She doesn’t know how to take care of others. Are you telling me that you want to take care of her? You can’t cook, can you? Marrying her not only troubles you, but also troubles me. I don’t want to serve her!”
I didn’t expect Chu Yuan to know me so well. Liusu indeed did not fit the image of my ideal wife. She did not know how to do housework, her cooking skill was as bad as me, and she was careless and always needed to be looked after. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that even though I have fallen in love with her, I still regarded her as a buddy without realizing my true feelings.
But. . .
