The sunlight spilling through the window slit was bright as usual. The delicious smell of breakfast wafted into the room through the door seam.
Yu Luocheng would usually skip breakfast as his father worked in the factory from Monday to Friday and his mother always went to work early. It was unlikely that she would make him breakfast in the morning.
The scent of cooked porridge meant only one thingâThe other woman in his family had returned home and though she was at times pretty annoying, he couldnât deny that she was extremely hard working and good at doing housework.
âHehe, itâs good that my baby Yu Yu has come home, I feel so relieved. Itâs not easy to handle your father and brother when I am alone. Go wake your brother up for breakfast and then you should ask him to bring you around. After coming back he has been so busy going between home and the hospitalâ¦â His motherâs voice reached his ears from the living room.
Yu Luocheng was half awake and vaguely heard the conversation between his mother Li Yan, and his sister, Yu Yu.
âWake up!â A moment later, Yu Luocheng heard Yu Yuâs seething voice.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
He was still a little dizzy due to the alcohol from last nightâs celebration with Team Scarlet.
âLazy pig, time to wake up and have breakfast.â Yu Yu grabbed his shoulders and shook him forcefully.
Yu Luocheng cracked his eyes open slightly and through his blurry vision, he saw a pretty and energetic girl dressed in a revealing suspender skirt beside his bed.
The suspender skirt must have been bought from a while back as the straps were a little loose, allowing Yu Luocheng a glimpse of the seductive cleavage right below the girlâs snowy neck that was exposed when she bent down.
âItâs not as deep as Yang Qianqianâs, but this will do too.â
Suddenly, he realized it was extremely weird to have such a thought, especially about his own sister.
âGet up now!â Yu Yu pulled Yu Luochengâs shoulder and forcefully dragged him out of bed.
âAlright, alright. Iâll get up by myself.â
Usually, he wouldnât budge no matter who tried to wake him up from his sleep, not even his own mother could do anything about it.
But Yu Luocheng could not go against Yu Yu. If you dared to disobey her, you would get a punishment ten times worse from the little lady.
âWhere were you last night? Why did you come back so late reeking of booze?â Yu Yuâs face drew closer as she interrogated him.
âI was just chatting with a few of my friends. Wait, where are my pants?â
âIn the washing machine. It was full of liquor.â
âOhâ¦?! I remembered I still had it on yesterday night when I went to bedâ¦â Yu Luocheng scratched his head.
Yu Yu took a pair of jeans from Yu Luochengâs closet swiftly and threw it to him.
Yu Luocheng caught it and pouted lightly feeling slightly disturbed.
First of all, someone must have undressed him yesterday night, otherwise, he wouldnât be sleeping with only his underwear on. Secondly, he thought that his sister was a little unconstrained. âCan you please not stare at a man wearing only his underwear and just wait outside for him to get dressed?â
âI want to go to the swimming pool today. Itâs been a while since I last went to a public pool, so youâd better accompany me.â Yu Yu, realizing Yu Luochengâs closet was a huge mess started tidying it up casually.
âCanât you go by yourself?â After Yu Luocheng got dressed, he went straight into the bathroom to wash his face.
After he was done brushing his teeth, Yu Yu appeared in front of him again outside the bathroom door.
âI already got your swimwear, goggles, and cap prepared,â she said.
âWait, did I say Iâm going to swim?â
âYour bones must have gone rigid after sitting in front of the computer all day. Are you going to die from a little exercise?â Yu Yu scowled at him looking rather crestfallen.
âI am not going.â Yu Luocheng insisted firmly.
âOnly a crazy person would go swimming with you.â
Yu Yu was currently studying in a swim academy and had most probably become a member of the province reserve team. Despite her small and delicate build which was that of a typical teenage girl, she moved dominantly like a queen on the chessboard once she entered the pool. Yu Luocheng was a good swimmer himself but he would never challenge his sister in the waterâ¦
Yu Luocheng chewed on his breakfast mindlessly, enjoying the silence after Yu Yu had stopped bugging him.
After he had finished half of his porridge, Yu Yu, who was sitting beside him still had not uttered a single word. Feeling a little uneasy, Yu Luocheng glanced at his sister and found her with her head lowered and tears clinging to the edge of her lashes threatening to spill over.
She had not tied her hair into a ponytail today, letting it flow down to frame her small face, making her look more breathtaking than usual.
âWhat now?â Yu Luocheng looked at her worriedly.
âYou always do this to me! Itâs not easy for me to get a holiday to come home,â Yu Yu sniffled, close to breaking into tears any minute now. âIâm going back to the academy soon and itâs hard to find someone to talk to due to the hectic training. Whenever I call you, you hang up on me after just a few lines and when Iâm home, you find me bothersomeâ¦â
Seeing that the waterworks were about to be let loose, Yu Luocheng quickly consoled her, âOkay, okay⦠I promise, Iâll go swimming with you for as long as you like, even until my skin peels off. Please donât cry, okay, my beloved sister?â
âBut how is there enough time for us to go swimming now? I still need to go and buy some clothes later at night,â Yu Yu said, still looking rather downcast.
âLeave that to me too, we can go together.â Yu Luocheng nodded decisively.
Yu Yu finally raised her head after hearing Yu Luochengâs promise. She wiped away the tears near her eyes and smiled mischievously, âNow, thatâs how we get things done!â
Yu Luocheng looked at her devilish smile in disbelief with his mouth agape.
âAfter all these years, I still fall for the same trick over and over againâ¦â
âThere will be lots of beautiful ladies with good body figures at the swimming pool,â Yu Yu tried to comfort Yu Luocheng.
âCan I bring along a beautiful lady?â Yu Luocheng asked.
âAre you talking about me?â The corner of Yu Yuâs mouth could not go any higher from her smug smile.
âNo, I mean another one.â Yu Luocheng immediately replied, pouring cold water over her self-indulgence.
âYou mean the one who was wearing the long skirt the other day?â
âYeah.â
âNo way!â Yu Yu immediately straightened her face.
She was confident that none of the other ladies in the swimming pool was going to be prettier than her and their body figures would not be comparable to hers as well.
However, it was hard to say the same about the girl that she had bumped into near the bridge that day.
***
Yu Luocheng had been searching high and low for a good excuse to invite Yang Qianqian out for a date despite the hot weather.
Going on a date at the swimming pool seemed like a brilliant choice. Countless men would drool over her long, beautiful legs, not to mention, if she exposed them with her swimming suit on⦠He could even picture her bouncy buttocks wrapped by the tight,sexy swimwear.
Just thinking about it got him so close to drooling.
âIs she really your girlfriend?â Yu Yu asked.
To be honest, Yu Yu understood her brotherâs behavior the most, but she was rather dubious as to how a loser like her brother could hook up with such a beautiful lady.
âNot yet, but very likely,â Yu Luocheng claimed confidently.
âHmph, I donât think she really likes you. I guess she just finds you quite interesting for nowâ¦â Yu Yu tried to dampen his confidence.
âPlease donât be jealous.â
âWhy should I be? I am at least on par with her.â
âItâs hard to say, you are still just an underdevelopedâ¦â
âYu Luocheng Yu!â Yu Yu was infuriated. She pointed at Yu Luocheng and said, âAsk her to come to the swimming pool!â
