Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 73 – Siying In Danger

In a small room cooped up inside Yunru's home, Shuang's fingers were working lightning fast on the keyboard as she typed her new game's code.

Her phone buzzed and she picked it up without tearing her gaze away from her laptop.

"What?"

"Come home for some time."

Shuang bit her tongue and cursed herself.

Damn it's Mom. Why did I pick it up?

"No can do. I am very busy right now."

"Shut up and come back. That's that. Don't give me any excuses especially about your games!"

"That is my work, Mom not an excuse."

An Meiying snorted. "Children's games can only be excuses."

"I make cool adult's games too," she grimaced.

"Whatever. Come back," and she hung up.

"F*ck!"

Yunru wrapped his arms around her neck and leaned his chin on her shoulder. "Who made my girlfriend angry? Let me teach them a lesson. The jail is always open."

Shuang smiled. "Mom."

"Aish! You were so close," He sounded regretful. "She would be my mother-in-law one day. How can I be disrespectful to her?"

Her brow twitched. "What mother-in-law? Stop daydreaming!" She flicked on his forehead.

Yunru sighed and kissed her cheek. "So harsh. My poor heart is hurt."

Shuang chuckled.

"Oh yes! Xinyi is finally gonna join tomorrow at work! Ah I am so excited! I can see my company flourishing! Our games will be so famous!"

Then she narrowed her eyes and twisted his ear hard. 

"Ahhhh!! That hurts!" Yunru complained.

"You had such a capable sister who draws so well and you couldn't introduce her to me a little earlier? Such a great talent right besides my boyfriend."

He grinned.

"What is so funny?"

"I like it when you call me your boyfriend."

Shuang twisted his ear hard again.

Yunru said, "Hey, hey. I didn't know that she still draws as her hobby. I thought it was only when we were young."

"You are a disgrace as a brother!"

"…"

Yunru's phone rang and he said, "Duty calls again. There has been an incident in one shopping complex. Your boyfriend works so hard."

Shuang kissed his cheek. "There. Go work hard for our country."

He shamelessly said, "That is not enough."

"After you come back."

He quickly got up. "I will be right back!"

Shuang went back to her laptop but then noticed that there was something wrong with her code. It was automatically getting deleted.

"Woah woah. Hold it right there buddy. Where are you taking off?"

She tried and tried but she couldn't stop it all.

"Damn it who is hacking my game!?" She banged her fist on the table.

At the An residence after a few hours, Caihong said, "So these are called adjectives. And then there are synonyms and antonyms as I told you. Let's take a break now," she smiled, "After that, let's practice it by playing games."

Siying's black orbs sparkled. "We can play games too? I thought this was a class."

"Why not? Games are a fun way to learn and remember things."

"Yay!!!"

"So let's have lunch and then we come back."

He nodded. Then he remembered.

"Aunty! Can I have your phone? I have to call Leina."

She shrugged and handed him her phone.

Siying climbed down and hopped away.

"Wait, you can talk here."

"It's a super important secret," he seriously said.

Caihong was amused.

After he was done talking, they headed at the dining table for lunch.

An Meiying was already seated. She smiled. "Isn't it Siying? We didn't meet, I see."

"Hello…" he politely said.

"Ah such a polite child. Just like Zhiyuan and Xinyi…" she eyed Caihong as she said that.

Caihong stopped for just a moment but then snapped back.

"How are your lessons going on?"

Siying eagerly said, "I enjoy it a lot! Aunty teaches so nicely!"

"That's great," she looked at Caihong, "I am glad that things are going well."

"What do you mean by that statement?" She narrowed her eyes.

"I mean, don't misunderstand me dear. Siying is Zhiyuan and Xinyi's child. I thought you would be uncomfortable…" 

She smiled and spoke in a sharp tone. "As you see, I am just fine."

Caihong placed him on the chair. "Wait here. I will bring your lunch."

Just then Shuang also entered.

An Meiying brightened. "Ah there comes Shuang. Let's all have lunch together."

Shuang was in a bad mood. "Please bring something nice for me because my mood sucks right now."

As they began their lunch, Caihong asked, "Why are you so pissed off?"

"My game! Somebody is stealing my precious game!" 

"So what are you gonna do?"

She grudgingly said, "I have asked somebody for help…"

An Meiying rolled her eyes. She wasn't interested in her childish game talks. Her attention was focused on Siying.

Siying said, "Aunty! The meat is yummy!"

Caihong smiled. "Well then eat lots."

But five minutes later, Siying jolted and started coughing violently. Caihong widened her eyes.

"What's wrong?"

But then she was horrified to see the red, glaring marks forming on Siying's hands and cheeks.

Siying found it difficult to breathe. His chest heaved up and down as he still continued to cough. Tears pooled in his eyes and trickled down his cheeks.

"Siying!"

Panicked, Caihong quickly got up. "What happened?"

"Waaahhhh…" Siying started to cry. His small body convulsed in pain. "Mama…Mama…"

Shuang also quickly went over to his side. He checked his arms and face. "These look like rashes…Did he eat something wrong?"

An Meiying looker concerned. "T-that's horrible. His skin! He looks so sick."

Shuang said, "This seems like a reaction. Is Siying allergic to something?" She glanced at them.

An Meiying quickly said, "Yes. I remember I heard Xinyi saying to Caihong that he is allergic to soy. But of course, how can there be soy in his food? Caihong brought it herself."

Caihong was shaken up hard. She quickly took a taste of the braised pork pieces and froze.

"T-this is not possible."

An Meiying tasted it too and gasped in shock. "Caihong. I can taste soy sauce here. How can that be?"
