What was going on?
Before Qin Luo could react, a fair, jade-like foot stepped heavily onto his face. The force wasn’t crushing, but it pinned his head down with absolute precision.
“Bai Jingyu, what are you doing…”
The soft sole pressed down slightly, preventing the boy from making another sound.
“Hehe~ My foolish little brother. I really didn’t expect that after two years apart, your mind would still be so simple. You’d probably help the person who sold you count the money~”
Bai Jingyu’s voice, originally sweet and delicate, was now full of mockery. Qin Luo didn’t even need to look to know she was wearing a wicked smile.
‘Heh! Bai Jingyu, do you think I’m the same as before?’
‘Get up!’
Qin Luo struggled violently, trying to rise. However, the woman who had been pinned under him just moments ago and seemingly unable to move now made his resistance completely useless.
“Giggle~ Little puppy, can’t move? It’s only been two years. Did you really get overconfident just because your sister showed a bit of weakness?”
“Remember, in this house, the boss is always your big sister. You can only stay obediently beneath me.”
Her seductive voice carried a bit of teasing, with a hint more softness than before.
Finished speaking, Bai Jingyu’s toes lightly tapped Qin Luo’s nose. Qin Luo seized the opportunity and bit down—but she easily dodged.
“Hmm? Little puppy, still being naughty? Do you believe I’ll really shove my foot into your mouth?”
Qin Luo felt the sole of her foot slowly rub against his face. Out of the corner of his eye, he could only see those pink toes. Further up were the curves hidden by her clothes that still rose and fell.
“Mmph, mmph…”
Qin Luo struggled desperately again but was pinned down tightly. This sense of humiliation made him feel as if he had returned to two years ago.
He finally understood—
That woman’s show of weakness earlier was a total trap!
He had actually fallen for it again!
His wrists felt a cold touch; his hands were also firmly controlled. At this moment, Qin Luo was like a fish on a cutting board, at the mercy of others.
He swore—he would never believe a single word out of Bai Jingyu’s mouth again!
Seeing her little brother struggling desperately beneath her, Bai Jingyu was in a great mood.
“Little puppy, do you feel your own weakness now?”
She sat down, her weight pressing onto the boy. Although it wasn’t very heavy, the soft sensation made Qin Luo even more uncomfortable. He twisted his body desperately from side to side, trying to break free.
Bai Jingyu applied a bit of pressure, instantly suppressing him completely. She reached out and pinched Qin Luo’s chin, forcing him to look up.
Those moist red lips curved slightly, her eyes full of mockery.
“As long as you promise not to shout at me anymore and won’t offend your sister, I’ll let you go for the sake of you being my cute little brother. How about it?”
“…”
Qin Luo looked like he would rather die than compromise, refusing to answer.
‘If I stall a bit longer, Auntie should be back. Let’s see how she explains herself then!’
“Heh, little puppy, you’re refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit.”
“What I told you wasn’t a request for your opinion, but a notification.”
Bai Jingyu sneered. She had been gentle and seductive just now, but a trace of coldness now leaked out.
Qin Luo’s heart tightened—
But he would never yield!
Just then, Bai Jingyu applied a bit of pressure with her fingers, prying his mouth open.
Then, that fair foot slowly approached—
He could even smell a faint, refreshing fragrance.
Seeing that it was really going to be stuffed into his mouth, Qin Luo instantly nodded frantically.
“Mmph, mmph! (I agree!)”
“Very good. As expected of my cute and sensible little brother~”
Bai Jingyu’s tone became seductive again. She narrowed her eyes in satisfaction and withdrew her foot.
Qin Luo, having regained his freedom, almost cried.
It had been two years, and he still couldn’t beat this woman at all!
“By the way, little puppy, what did you buy in that package you just got? Let me see.”
Bai Jingyu casually tidied her messy hair, revealing a bit of a lazy charm.
Qin Luo was stunned.
That package…
When Bai Jingyu saw the sender’s name, her expression changed slightly.
“Since it was sent to you, you open it.”
The box was opened.
Inside was a letter and a black, crescent-shaped object that looked like it was carved from some kind of jade.
Qin Luo picked it up; it felt cold to the touch.
“What is this?”
He was about to examine it closely—
Suddenly!
The black crescent shook violently!
In the next instant—
It flew right out of his hand!
And then—
*Whoosh!*
It dove into his mouth!
*Gulp—*
He actually swallowed it directly!
Qin Luo: !!!
He clawed at his throat frantically, trying to throw it up. But it was useless.
A cold sensation spread from his abdomen as if his very blood were being frozen. Intense pain made his face turn pale instantly, and he collapsed to the floor.
“Gui… Gui…”
He struggled to make a sound.
However—
Bai Jingyu just stood to the side, arms crossed, watching coldly.
There was no trace of panic.
It was as if everything was within her expectations.
‘It’s over…’
Qin Luo felt despair.
He didn’t expect that his eighteen-year-old life would end here.
As his consciousness gradually blurred—
He vaguely saw—
Wine-red hair swaying slowly before his eyes…
