Chapter Twenty-Five: The Three Swords Guest

  He swore on his honor that he hadn't intentionally intruded.

  She swore to herself that she hadn't seen anything, well, at most it was just half of a white butt. Why did Jia Luo still call out so miserably? Was he afraid that she would take liberties with him? She was startled and even forgot to close the bathroom door for Jia Luo. Who could be blamed for this? Whose fault was it for not locking the toilet door when using it?

  When Grandma and Mei Yi heard the scream and ran upstairs, Jia Luo had already run back to her room and refused to open the door. Only Xing Ye was left standing alone in the small living room on the second floor. It is said that Jia Luo didn't lock the bathroom door when she went to the toilet, and Xing Ye burst in, scaring Jia Luo into a loud scream. Everyone held back their laughter and said a few words before going downstairs, thinking they were afraid of laughing out loud and embarrassing themselves, so they quickly went downstairs to laugh heartily.

  It doesn't matter to me anyway. Looking at Jia Luo's tightly closed door, it won't leave any dark shadows in the heart of that innocent young man, will it?

  This, however, raises another issue. Originally, there were only the two brothers on the second floor, with Jia Kai occupying the master bedroom upstairs with an en-suite bathroom. The external bathroom was basically used by Jia Luo alone, except when Mei Ayi came up to clean sometimes, and no one else went up, which is why Jia Luo didn't lock the door when using the bathroom.

  Now there is an additional Xīnyè, also a girl, and everything becomes a bit inconvenient. After discussion with the grandparents, Jiā Kǎi gives up his master bedroom with bathroom to let Xīnyè live in it, while he moves into Xīnyè's small room. After all, he is already a university student and will be boarding at school, only coming back home once a week.

  Hua Ke returned home and then went to find his brother Hua Luo to communicate with him.

  "When something like this happens, it should be the other person's girl who is called, what are you yelling for?" Jia Kai felt that his younger brother was really embarrassing him.

  "I just scared her and don't know how she started crying." Jialuo could hide in the house to avoid Grandpa and Grandma, but he didn't dare to fight with his brother.

  "You're usually so loud and boastful, but it turns out you're such a coward! Alas, this man's face has been shamed by you."

  Jia Luo couldn't say anything back in rebuttal.

  "Even the room has been contributed, go and help me clean up, consider it as a labor reform." Jia Kai reasonably ordered his younger brother.

  Then Jia Luo hastily went to help his elder brother clean up the house.

  Afterwards, Jia Kai asked Xing Ye why she didn't scream at the time. Xing Ye casually said that she had seen a lot of things before. Jia Kai's jaw almost dropped to the ground, and Xing Ye quickly explained that in her hometown, many young people would swim naked in the river during summer, so it was nothing unusual to see.

  Jia Kai reluctantly accepted this explanation, but Xing Ye dared not let him know that he was not just seeing more, but had experienced even more.

  The next day, Jia Kai took Xing Ye to buy some furniture. Xing Ye declined her aunt's kind offer to follow along, she didn't want to live in a pink children's room.

  "How are we going? Are we taking a bus?" Xing Ye followed Jia Kai to the north gate of the community.

  "No need, we have free labor that can be used." Jia Kai gazed into the distance, "Here it comes" A red sedan drove over.

  "Hurry up and get in the car, we still have to pick up Tianyang." The young driver was wearing a large pair of sunglasses. As soon as Xing Ye heard him speak, he knew it was that poisonous-tongued man from that night.

  Jia Kai opened the car door at midnight and let her get in, then he also got on the back seat.

  "Hi, beautiful girl, it's an honor to meet you. My name is Lin Junjie, I'm single. What's your name? Do you have a boyfriend? If not, you can consider me. I'm tall and handsome..."

  He was stunned at that moment, is this still the poisonous tongue man from that day? The change is too great.

  "Alright, alright, don't scare my sister, let's get going." Yu Jia Kai interrupted Lin Jun Jie.

  "Hey, I'm saying you're not being very considerate, having such a beautiful sister and not even introducing me to her." Lin Jun Jie drove while checking out Xing Ye, clearly not recognizing that Xing Ye was the same girl he had called "bean sprout" the night before.

  Yu Jia Kai gave Xing Ye a signal with her eyes, and Xing Ye understood that she was telling her not to expose the fact that they had met before.

  Suddenly realized at night, this brother of mine is really very black-bellied.

  "Be careful when you're driving, and also my sister is only 16 years old so don't flirt with her."

  "Is that so? My little sister is only sixteen years old and yet she's already this beautiful and charming. If she's not even more stunning at twenty, it'll be a crime! What's my little sister's name?"

  "It's my sister, not your sister"

  "We've been good buddies for so many years, isn't your sister just like a sister to me too? Right, sis?" Lin Junjie asked Xing Ye with a thick skin.

  The starry night didn't say a word but gave him an especially gentle smile, this one smile was like giving Lin Jun Jie a shot of chicken blood, and he spoke and laughed even more energetically.

  Yu Jia Kai thought to himself: If he didn't know his character, he would really think that he was just a lecher who went crazy when he saw a pretty girl!

  Look at Xing Ye laughing like a blooming white lotus on a starry night, this cousin of mine is indeed more delicate than flowers. At such a young age, if she were to go to college... Thinking about the boys around her, whenever they see a pretty girl, they're like wolves eyeing a lamb, surrounding and chasing after them with every trick in the book. This won't do, I need to teach my cousin some anti-wolf skills as soon as possible, otherwise, with Xing Ye's conditions, I'm afraid it won't be long before she's devoured by those big bad wolves, skin and all.

  Yu Jia Kai suddenly felt that the responsibility of protecting his sister had fallen on his own shoulders, and looking at Xing Ye's smiling face again, oh, the responsibility was still very heavy!

  "Don't you think my sister is too thin and weak, like a bean sprout?" Yu Jia Kai suddenly chimed in.

  "How could that be? A slender girl is the one who's lovable, besides, our sister has a beautiful figure, isn't it our sister?" Lin Junjie said with a flattering tone.

  Before the starry night could say anything, Lin Junjie slammed on the brakes and stopped by the side of the road. "Oh no, I was so caught up in talking that we've passed it."

  Just then, a boy named Tianyang rushed over from behind and opened the door to sit in the front seat.

  "JJ Lin, what are you doing? Passing by from beside me."

  "Sorry about that, I was busy chatting with my sister." Lin Jun Jie clasped his hands together and gestured, not forgetting to introduce Hao Tian Yang to Xing Ye: "This is Hao Tian Yang, he's one of the 'Three Musketeers' of our school along with me and your brother, we're the best of friends."

  Hao Tianyang turned around politely and greeted them, but when he saw Xing Ye, he was stunned for a moment, unsure if it was really him. Xing Ye smiled at him, and Hao immediately understood that he wasn't mistaken, giving Xing Ye a brilliant smile in return.

  "I really didn't expect it, how could you? And also Jia Kai?" Hao Tianyang tilted his head, clearly unable to understand. Since she was Jia Kai's sister, why didn't they know each other back then?

  "I haven't even thanked you for the apple yet, and when I have a chance, I'll treat you to dinner." Xing Ye spoke up for the first time since getting on the car.

  "What apples? Do you know?" Lin Junjie interrupted, but no one answered him.

  "How can you be Jia Kai's sister? On that day..." Hao Tianyang asked.

  "Xing Ye is my cousin, we haven't been in touch for many years, so we didn't know each other before, but now I, as her brother, want to thank you for taking care of her back then." Yu Jia Kai explained.

  "Alright, Jia Kai, who's afraid of whom?"

  "Hey, what are you guys talking about? I still can't understand," Lin Junjie took off his sunglasses, apparently getting anxious.

  Jia Kai and Tian Yang looked at him with loud laughter, but didn't say a word.

  Xīn yè dì yī cì kàn qīng le tā de zhǎng xiàng, jiā kǎi hé tiān yáng dōu yīng gāi suàn bǐ jiào shuài de nán shēng, nà lín jùn jié jiù shì nà zhǒng kě yǐ yòng piào liàng lái xíng róng de nán shēng, xiá cháng de dān fèng yǎn, tǐng zhí de bí liáng, hóng yán de báo chún, cháng de hěn……niáng, bú shì, shì hěn zhōng xìng, shì nà zhǒng nán nǚ jiē kě de xiàng mào.

  "Don't you really think I look like a bean sprout? Xīng Yè saw that he was about to blow his top, while his two good brothers had an expression of watching a show and couldn't help but remind him."

  Lin Junjie is actually not a foolish person, on the contrary, he is a very clever person. Combining Tianyang and Jia Kai's conversation, he slowly reacted.

  "Could it be... that night... at the train station..." Lin Junjie asked incredulously.

  "Haha" Looking at his suspicious expression, his two good friends burst out laughing without any brotherly love.

  "Yes, my sister Luo Xing Ye, also known as the soy sprout that you called that night and heartlessly abandoned at the train station." Yu Jia Kai was just introducing him to her and Xing Ye, but it didn't sound very good.

  "Wow, you knew all along and didn't tell me, but instead watched me say nice things to your sister. You just wanted to see my joke, right? I really was careless in making friends!" Lin Junjie completely understood now, knowing that his friend was playing a prank on him, and he wasn't even angry.

  "Sister Xingye, I'm treating you to lunch today. Consider it my apology, okay? You have to accept." Lin Junjie was quite good at seizing opportunities.

  "Th...". Xīngyè looked towards Yuán Jiākǎi.

  Yu Jia Kai smiled and said, "No problem, let him treat us. He's a rich family's young master, I originally planned to have him treat us at noon anyway. At that time, you pick the expensive dishes, make him spend some money."

  Since Yu Jia Kai said so, Xing Ye is not someone who can't afford it, and he readily agreed.

  I was too muddled, when signing the contract I wrote "Rebirth of Sparrow into Phoenix" instead of "Rebirth of Crow into Phoenix", so the book title had to be changed, sorry for the inconvenience caused to book friends, ashamed...
