Chapter 225 – The Battlefield between Sister and Childhood Friend

“Brother, how come even Xu Juan is here?” Cheng Li asked in wonder.

“Studying together ah, Xu Juan and I are in the same grade as Jing Jing.”

“You’re also too close together, spread out a bit.”

Cheng Li drilled between Cheng Ming and Xu Juan, physically separating the two.

Is it an illusion? The atmosphere between my brother and Xu Juan seemed a bit different, but I couldn’t tell anything unusual from their expressions.

Cheng Ming drove the two of them to Jing Jing’s house, where Jing Jing, wearing a knee-length dress, opened the door to greet them.

“Good morning, come in.”

Lin Jingyi crossed over to Cheng Ming and Cheng Li and saw Xu Juan in the back, a little stunned, but it was expected.

Lin Jingyi’s hair was soft and smooth, with a hairpin on her bangs, and the fresh scent of a young girl wafted vaguely.

Compared to her, Cheng Li and Xu Juan are a bit unkempt and casual.

Cheng Li had several sleep-aroused dorky hairs and long hair that fell over her shoulders, while Xu Juan tied it into a simple ponytail.

Still dressed so nicely at home, purposely well-groomed, surely she was seducing and tempting her brother.

The four of them sat on the floor around the coffee table, with Lin Jingyi and Xu Juan sitting on one side, Cheng Ming and Cheng Li on the opposite side, and Cheng Ming and Jing Jing were diagonally opposite and furthest away from each other.

Ren Mei served the fruit platter and said with emotion, “It’s been a long time since the house has been this lively.”

“Ri, this is the exercise I prepared especially for you, remember to give a copy to Ren.”

“Sister Jingyi, I really thank you.” Cheng Li said with a leathery smile.

“I’m going out for a trip, you guys have to study and learn.” Ren Mei, who was wearing shoes in the entrance hall, shouted back.

Good, the adults are no longer at home.

There’s no point in pretending to be a good boy and studying, is there?

Cheng Li stopped his pen to look around, Sister Jingyi was teaching Xu Juan, and his brother was also working on the problem seriously.

Is there any mistake, really studying ah, must be pretending, fool her, can not last long.

Cheng Ming and Lin Jingyi didn’t disappear into Cheng Li’s field of vision at the same time, and they didn’t go to the bathroom together.

“Tired.”

Cheng Li dropped his pen, and like a kite with broken strings, his body tilted in the direction Cheng Ming was in, first leaning on his arm, then sliding all the way down to rest on his thigh.

Cheng Ming reached out and scratched Cheng Li’s jaw as if he was teasing his own cat.

Never mind, that’s fine. Let’s just say you’re a self-aware girlfriend.

Cheng Li raised his arm to play with the knot in Cheng Ming’s throat.

As it neared noon, Ren Mei said, “Why don’t you guys stay for lunch before you go, I’ve got all the groceries. If you guys don’t help eliminate it, it’s going to go to waste.”

“Yeah.”

Cheng Ming agreed, he had planned to do so, Dad will be at home for lunch, but also do not have to Mom alone lonely.

Until he couldn’t see Uncle Lin, Cheng Ming asked, “Uncle Lin is working overtime on the weekend again?”

“The provincial capital went on a business trip, there is a bridge project to let him go to give some advice, the average person encountered such a big thing, will ask for a sick leave to rest at home for a while, no disease also want to pretend to be sick, he is good, completely idle, every day as usual.”

Ren Mei shook her head and sighed, “If it weren’t for this mess, your Uncle Lin he would still be keeping a full attendance record.”

“The body is not afraid of the shadow slant, it would have been an unmitigated disaster, take this opportunity to perform well, maybe even get promoted.”

Cheng Ming is quite optimistic that there will be a major change of blood in the URA and even in the municipality.

There are a handful of major generals coming down from the province to hold down the fort and clean up the mess, and there are vacant positions in the province.

There will certainly be rewards for officials who have performed cleanly in this case, and a step forward will be made when the official appointments come down after the meeting.

“He’s not leadership material, and that’s fine for now.”

After lunch, he watched a bit of TV before getting into his studies again, and Cheng Li shook Cheng Ming’s arm from side to side as he hugged him, muttering that he wanted to go home and go to bed.

“Can’t you sleep here?” Cheng Ming asked rhetorically.

“I for one recognize pillows and can’t sleep without a shark pillow.”

I don’t usually see you so fussy, you sleep all the way up in the mountains.

“Unless brother sleeps with me.”

“Go sleep in my room, you two are too noisy here, disturbing Xu Juan’s studies.”

“Xu Juan isn’t that susceptible to outside interference.”

“It’s the quiet ones who prefer the quiet.”

Lin Jingyi herded the two siblings, Cheng Ming and Cheng Li, into the room.

Cheng Ming was afraid that Cheng Li would rummage around like he did in Chen Zi Yi’s room.

It would be bad if the condom was dug out, Cheng Ming didn’t want to explain the purpose of that thing, so he just lay down with his arm around her and didn’t let her move around.

Cheng Li, who proposes to come for a nap, is pretending to be asleep while Cheng Ming falls asleep first.

Surely I’ll do something nasty while I’m napping?

Today I was prepared and slept well.

Here we go!

As the footsteps approached, Cheng Li clearly felt the light being blocked and a shadow looming over his face.

Cheng Li opened his eyes and tried to catch the adulterer in the act.

Instead, warm lips landed on his own forehead.

“Uh ……”

“Lai, did I wake you up? I’m sorry, seeing as your sleeping face is so cute, I couldn’t help but want to give you a kiss.” Lin Jingyi said with her hands folded.

Cheng Li’s small hand rubbed her forehead as she glared angrily at Lin Jingyi.

On purpose? Finding her pretending to be asleep?

“Hate me that much? I used to kiss you on the cheek and change your diaper and wipe your dirty butt.”

Lin Jingyi was trying to get on good terms with Cheng Li, even though she knew it wasn’t that easy.

“Hmph, even if you say some of this, it’s useless, I’m not going to let you have my brother.” Cheng Li pounced on Cheng Ming and said.

“I didn’t mean to steal Xiao Ming la, your brother will always be your brother, except that he’s also my boyfriend!” Lin Jingyi said in a loud voice.

“Girlfriends are great!”

Cheng Li chirped at Cheng Ming’s mouth.

Lin Jingyi hurriedly grabbed away from Cheng Li and said, “Xiao Li, what are you doing! You’re no longer a child, you can’t do this kind of thing.”

“I’m healing my brother.”

“Healing? That’s not how you play house and doctor games.”

“Didn’t Sister Jingyi bite her brother’s mouth to pieces before? It was only by relying on my saliva that my brother’s mouth was cured, and it’s only those who hurt my brother who don’t deserve to be my brother’s girlfriend.”

“I’m reflecting on that one, but what’s with the new wound in Ming’s mouth? It can’t be that you bit it, right?” Lin Jingyi asked as she rubbed Cheng Li’s temples.

“So what? Why can you bite and I can’t? I’m the younger sister, the one closest to my brother.”

“I told you how Xiao Ming’s mouth was so slow to heal, just because you’re a sister you can’t bite! Brothers and sisters can’t get married, you’re also a middle schooler, you should know this point. Although you may not have gotten to that lesson in genetics, inbred children have a high probability of deformities and congenital diseases.”

Lin Jingyi said in a serious manner, she really wanted to correct Xiao Li’s wrong thinking from childhood.

“Wouldn’t it be better not to get married or have children.”

“Are you serious? Uncle Cheng and Auntie Lai definitely want to hold their grandchildren and grandchildren, right? Xiao Ming definitely wants to keep his own child as well, so I’ll be the one to …… take on this task,” Lin Jingyi said as she touched her belly.

“Well, you’re the one who’s going to be the figurehead for having kids and getting married, I don’t want to have little babies, whoever cares to have them.”

“Eh?”

Lin Jingyi was stunned.

One second it’s the air of stepping over my dead body if you want to steal my brother, and the next it’s agreeing with her?

“But I want to be with my brother.”

“Together? Aren’t you guys together all the time?”

“I’m talking about this kind of together.”

Cheng Li ambled over Cheng Ming’s body and pecked his lips again.

“I’ve been told that such things are not allowed!”

“It seems like you’re not right for my brother, and my brother should get a new girlfriend who can accept me and my brother together.”

“That kind of girlfriend doesn’t exist, does it?”

“That can’t be said, Sister Chen is someone who can even accept that her brother has a girlfriend, so a younger sister in the district is no big deal, right? After all, my brother is so outstanding and is liked by many people, my brother will always be my brother. But brother’s girlfriend won’t necessarily be you yet.”

Cheng Li teasingly laughed and lowered his head, wanting to take Cheng Ming’s lips again.

“I’m not going to lose to you, but Ming and I have known each other since birth!”

Lin Jingyi pounced and squeezed Cheng Li away.

“It’s my brother and I who spend the most time together, didn’t you guys stop talking after middle school?”

“That’s only two years of no contact, we could have been born three years before you, lost time, just make it up later.”

The body is so heavy, it’s hard to breathe. Ghosts in the bed?

Cheng Ming opened his eyes, only to see the two of them frantically grabbing for his tongue, their faces squeezed into a ball, not giving way to each other.

Cheng Ming’s arm was also pressed, left-heavy and right-heavy.

How could this be so good, he couldn’t even dream of it.

This had to be a dream, in reality it would have been more like pulling on his arm and fighting for it.

“Ming, who’s your favorite?”

“Who’s your favorite, brother?”

Another classic giveaway.

What’s there to be afraid of in a dream.

“Of course I like them all.”

Bang–

Cheng Li and Lin Jingyi slammed headlong into Cheng Ming, knocking him upside the head.

Why does it hurt so much when it’s obviously a dream.

Xu Juan silently living room homework, circling the topics that do not understand.

They’re so slow. My legs are numb.

Xu Juan straightened her arms and legs, stretched out a big slouch, and curled her body into a ball again.

There’s a lot of activity going on in that room over there.

Drawing a smiley face on the manuscript paper, he put down his pen and pulled up the corners of his mouth with both hands.

Lin Jingyi took out a handkerchief and wiped Cheng Ming’s drool covered cheeks, her cheeks blushing, what kind of ridiculous thing had she done?

Cheng Ming’s under neck and collar were equally wet.

With a sweet face, Cheng Li hugged Cheng Ming’s arm and swayed around.

Having said that, it’s up to Sister Jingyi to accept it next.

I hadn’t planned to say anything this early, but plans change.

Two years later, my brother was afraid that he would not be eaten up, so it would be better to form an alliance with Sister Jingyi as early as possible to defend against foreign enemies.

Ah, the body is still too young, it’s so annoying, doing this at this age is already the limit.

“Little Ming, come over here with me for a moment.” Lin Jingyi pulled Cheng Ming up and said with a stern face.

“I’m going too.”

Lin Jingyi and Cheng Ming walked into the bathroom and pushed Cheng Li out, shutting him out.

Cheng Li symbolically knocked on the door a few times and shouted in protest, “Let me in, quickly let me in, no whispering.”

Cheng Li didn’t barge in, nor did he continue to knock on the door and make noise.

She knew that Sister Jingyi needed a little time to digest, as long as she and her brother didn’t fuck hot inside.

Lin Jingyi opened the door and questioned, “How far did you and Xiao Li get?”

“What which step?” Cheng Ming asked confused, he hadn’t fully regained his senses yet.

“Just having little babies kind of thing ……”

“How can we do it, Ri is a sister, and a child.”

“I guess so, so is there kissing anywhere else besides the mouth?”

“Do cheeks and foreheads like this count?”

“Just kiss those two places, won’t you push her away when she kisses you on the mouth?”

“I pushed it away ah, then she came at me again and bit me on the mouth, and when I got mad I spanked her, and she still doesn’t remember, but she just gives me a good morning kiss every day, and looks like she’s curious before she does something like that, and I don’t know what to do about it.”

“Ming, you like Lai, don’t you?”

“Well, to say I like it that I do like it.”

It’s hard not to like it, impossible not to like it, or did you like it a long time ago.

“So did you teach Ri to say what she just said?”

“What was said? I was so confused I didn’t hear all of it.”

“It’s ……,” said Lin Jingyi with a shy sideways glance, “Leave the marriage and children to me, but ask me to accept you together.”

“Ah that’s, kind of unlike what a kid her age would say, though she’d know a bit more about things.”

“Well, it’s probably because you’re afraid that you, the older brother, will ignore your sister if she gets a girlfriend. But it seems like there’s more to it than that, your parents don’t know you guys have kissed on the mouth yet, do they?”

“Of course I don’t know, I don’t want to get my legs broken.”

“Then we’ll just have to hide it from them, and I’ll do the same for you. Then we’ll work together to correct Ri’s wrong thinking and guide her back to the right path, don’t keep Ri waiting too long before she gets angry and freaks out again, let’s go out.”

Cheng Li looked around at Cheng Ming and Lin Jingyi, neatly dressed, signs of having taken off their clothes every day, and there was no strange odor, it was that Sister Jingyi’s face was a little red.

Cheng Li asked, “You guys didn’t hide your kisses from me in there, did you?”

“Not at all.” Lin Jingyi said as she covered Cheng Li’s small mouth.

After the farce, Cheng Ming had been a bit soulful, and from time to time he thought about dreaming again.

不对不对，小黎是不行的啊。

Then replace it with someone else? Cheng Ming hurriedly stopped his dangerous thoughts.

Lin Jingyi was also completely out of it, and gave Xu Juan the wrong question, saying all the time – “I’m sorry.”

At half past three, Cheng Ming and the others said goodbye to Lin Jingyi.

Lai has a late night study, and Rei is almost over.

Sitting on the motorcycle, Cheng Ming hugged his sister in his arms and shouted, “Xiao Li ……”

“What’s wrong? Brother.”

“Where do you see us in fifteen years?”

Was it just a coincidence that my sister found the gold nugget at the bottom of the Lotus Pond?

And the words just now, could it be that his sister is like himself ……

It wasn’t the first time Cheng Ming had such a thought, only that every time he shook his head in denial.

One can’t be sure that one is the only reborn person in this world, maybe there are other reborn people turning their hands to other cities.

It’s hard to say whether the meeting of the reborn is good or bad; it’s possible that they’ll help each other, but it’s also possible that they’ll take advantage of each other.

If the person who was reborn before Cheng Ming, I’m afraid that he had already saved enough resources in this world, and I’m afraid that the only flaw is that he can’t see the future as far as Cheng Ming.

If Cheng Ming was a reborn being known by his kind, it would be difficult to ensure the safety of himself and those around him.

“After fifteen years, of course you’re a grown-up, you’re so stupid, brother.”

“Also.”

Just overthinking yourself?

Cheng Ming was both relieved and a little lost.

The ‘loneliness’ of the born-again?

It’s hard to say no, it’s a feeling that can be subtle.

Is the person who has changed because of him still the person he knew?

But Cheng Ming didn’t regret changing all that, otherwise what was the point of being reborn?

At least, he wasn’t alone now.

Cheng Li covered his chest, his heart beating violently.

I can’t tell my brother yet, I have to wait a little longer, until I’m older.
