Yin Shuiling was lying on the bed. She had a whole ton of things to talk about to Yin Muchen, but she was too shy to talk about them.
She thought that her older brother would ask her if she had eaten and if she had been good. When the atmosphere was livelier, she would speak about it gradually. But she didn’t expect that her older brother would say “yes” directly, so the atmosphere became awkward.
What should she say?
Her pearly white teeth bit her delicate pink lips. In a tiny voice, she stuttered, “Older Brother, I…don’t need…that teacher… ”
“Which teacher?” The voice on that end was obviously enthused.
Yin Shuiling gripped the sheet tightly with her fair and dainty little hands. “That teacher that you got for me over the weekends to teach me extracurricular knowledge… I think she is so strange… ”
“Well, how is she strange?” The man’s voice was low, mellow, and magnetic. It was very pleasant. He seemed to be very serious.
“The teacher said that… between the ages of 12-19 is… It’s the stage of love. She also asked me if I had…any boys…I liked? ”
“Do you have any?”
Yin Shuiling’s face was red. She didn’t expect that her older brother would ask so directly.
At this time, Ning Qing and Yao Xiaozhu entered the bedroom. Yao Xiaozhu saw Yin Shuiling in a shy state and asked in a loud voice, “Yin Shuiling, why is your face so red? Who are you calling? Is it your boyfriend?”
Yao Xiaozhu’s voice had also transmitted to Yin Muchen’s ears. Yin Muchen looked at the city lights outside the landing window, which made his eyes sparkle.
The girl’s sweet and timid voice sounded. She was scolding coquettishly, “Oh, Yao Xiaozhu, don’t speak nonsense. I’m going to ignore you. Hmph.”
The girl covered her little head with a blanket and curled her entire body inside.
Yin Muchen’s mouth quietly lifted with a smile. He called her softly. “Shuiling…”
Yin Shuiling felt her heart racing, and she didn’t know how to answer her brother’s questions.
She hadn’t come into contact with boys before, and she didn’t know the feeling of liking someone.
“… No… ” Her bright and delicate little face turned red like an apple. It was so plump and tender that anyone who saw it would want to take a bite. She replied softly, “I only like Older Brother.”
This answer completely delighted Yin Muchen. He tried to take a cigarette out of his trouser pocket with one hand but remembered that he had left it on the office desk.
He nodded. “Yes, I know.”
Yin Shuiling buried her face in the soft pillow and felt her little heartbeat with her little hand, which was beating fast and disordered.
Mmm… She felt so shy…
“Older Brother, I saw a boy and a girl in the playground woods today. They… They were hugging. The girl’s skirt was lifted. The boy was touching her leg… I was scared and ran back to school quickly… ”
Yin Muchen listened with a slight frown. His protruding Adam’s Apple bobbed up and down, and his voice was a little hoarse as he raised his eyebrow and asked, “He wasn’t lifting your skirt or touching you. What were you afraid of?”
Older Brother…
Yin Shuiling’s pupils constricted. She doubted that she had heard it correctly. How could he say that? It was straightforward and vulgar.
At her age, she didn’t know that men would itch at times for women whom they were attracted to. This itch led to a rapid increase in hormones. No matter how reserved and cultured the men were, they would show a straightforward and vulgar side, which could be considered a form of flirtation between men and women.
Her autumn pupils sparkled brightly with shy and timid moisture. She firmly bit her lip as she stopped talking.
Yin Muchen knew that he had gone too far. He raised his eyebrows and adjusted his disordered breathing. He said, “There will be no more of these things in the future, so Shuiling, don’t be afraid. I’ll ask Uncle Liu to pick you up this Friday. Older Brother might go back late, so do your homework yourself. ”
“Ok.” Yin Shuiling nodded cleverly.
“If there’s nothing more then I’ll hang up. Goodnight, Shuiling.” The man hung up.
…
Yin Shuiling looked at the screen of the cell phone, reached out her hand, and pulled off the blanket on her head, revealing her small head to breathe the fresh air outside.
At this time, Yao Xiaozhu on the opposite bed asked with a smile, “Yin Shuiling, who did you talk to just now? I saw you blushing and biting your lips. I don’t believe it’s not a boy that you don’t fancy. Yin Shuiling, I wonder what kind of boy you will like. ”
Yao Xiaozhu’s personality was lively and unrestrained, and she was good friends with the boys in her class. She had a good figure and was matured. She knew a lot about men and women’s affairs. Yin Shuiling and Ning Qing couldn’t compare.
Yin Shuiling didn’t speak. She doesn’t want to tell Yao Xiaozhu that she was on the phone with her older brother. Yao Xiaozhu liked to pester her about her brother’s matters when she had nothing to do. She seemed to like and admire her older brother very much. She rejected Yao Xiaozhu in her heart.
At this time, Ning Qing placed a collection of short stories beside the pillow, turned over, and lay on the bed. The girl was wearing white pajamas with her hair spread out. She was pure and beautiful.
Her bed was connected with Yin Shuiling’s. The two girls had a good relationship and slept head to head.
Ning Qing leaned on the railing of the bed, looking at Yin Shuiling, who was also lying on the other side. “Shuiling, what does it mean to like someone?” she asked curiously.
“I don’t know either.” Yin Shuiling answered softly. The two girls looked at each other, taking in each other’s ignorant, blushing appearance.
“Don’t you guys know?” Yao Xiaozhu waved her little hand, and with a bold smile, she said, “Liking someone means that you’ll blush and your heart will race when you see him. When you don’t see him, you will worry about him and miss him. When you see him with other girls, you will feel sour and jealous. When you are with him, you will feel sweet and blissful. You always like to laugh. In your eyes, there is no second person except him. That is what it means to like someone.”
Yao Xiaozhu looked at the two while she spoke. “Understand?”
The two silly girls stared at her, stunned and unresponsive.
Yao Xiaozhu felt bored, turned over, closed her eyes, and went to sleep. “I’m not telling you guys anymore. You won’t understand even if I say it.”
“I don’t understand either.” Ning Qing turned over and lay down. She took the short stories collection and continued to look at it. “I’d better read.”
Ning Qing turned a page, at this time she felt her little fragrant shoulder gently poked by a soft little finger, and she looked back. “Shuiling, what’s the matter?”
Yin Shuiling’s little face was so hot that her cheeks were pure pink. Her bright pupils were filled with bright spring-like luster flowing through them. Her fair and dainty little hand stretched out to hold Ning Qing’s little hand, then gently placed it over her heart.
She whispered and said in a frightened voice over the girl’s ear, “Qingqing, I just heard Yao Xiaozhu’s words, and I thought about… Older Brother. I don’t know why, my heart is beating… Very fast… ”
Ning Qing widened her eyes, “Shuiling, you…”
…
Friday night
Yin Shuiling went back to the apartment. She placed her bag in the room, then took some paper and a pen to the living room to draw.
At this time, the helper in the kitchen came out. “Miss Yin, dinner is ready. Something happened at my house tonight. I have to go home early. Mr. Yin will come back later. Stay home and don’t run around.”
Yin Shuiling sat on the soft, clean carpet, drawing on the tea table with a pencil in her right hand. Hearing the words, she raised her head and nodded, “Ok, Auntie. Safe journey. Bye-bye.”
The helper looked at Yin Shuiling’s beautiful, delicate face and thought to herself — Who wouldn’t like this little girl? So sweet and obedient. The more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
The helper smiled and went out.
Yin Shuiling was drawing with her head down. She wanted to draw a landscape picture of blue skies and white clouds, but the pencil fell and the outline of a person emerged.
She was stunned for a few seconds and thought of the conversation with Qingqing on Monday night. She felt her entire face going hot.
Mmmm, what’s happened to her?
Why was her mind full of… Older Brother?
She bit her lower lip with her dainty pearly white teeth.
Snap.
At this time, the entire apartment went dark due to a power failure.
Yin Shuiling has been afraid of the dark since she was a child. She shot up from the carpet with the pen and paper in her hand. She stepped back in fright.
Her eyes were still unable to adapt to the sudden darkness. She retreated to the corner of the wall. All she felt with her small hands were gauze curtains — expensive Jiangnan embroidery.
There was a slight noise, and the apartment door opened.
Yin Shuiling looked up and saw a sliver of light through the opened apartment door. The tall, straight figure stood against the light.
Yin Shuiling immediately smiled. “Older Brother, are you back?”
The man at the door didn’t make a sound. The door of the apartment was closed again.
Yin Shuiling stood at the same place. She watched the tall figure walk to the sofa in the living room. He raised his hand to take off his suit. She heard the familiar sound of him taking his suit off and throwing it on the sofa.
He came over.
When he approached, Yin Shuiling could smell the wine on him. She furrowed her eyebrows and asked, “Older Brother, did you drink? There was a sudden blackout at home…Ah!”
Yin Shuiling cried out in fear because a strong arm was on her soft little waist. As soon as the man used his strength, she was carried into his arms.
His movements were not gentle at all. Yin Shuiling felt pain when she bumped into his chest. The man’s body was tough, with tight, strong muscles — a young and strong figure, with somewhat impatient actions.
Yin Shuiling put out two small hands against his chest. “Older Brother, what are you doing? Let go! Mmph, I can’t breathe because of you. ”
That tight embrace on her loosened a little bit. The handsome cheek of the man pasted on her small pink face as he rubbed against her in infatuation. His mountain-like nose was buried in her hair. His voice was low and hoarse as he asked, “Have you taken a bath? Why are you so fragrant? ”
“No, I didn’t. I just got out of school…” Hearing him speak, the fear in Yin Shuiling’s heart disappeared. She gave up struggling and obediently allowed him to hug her. In a soft voice, she asked, “Older Brother, are you drunk?”
The man replied carelessly, “Mmm…probably, maybe.”
“Brother, Auntie has gone home. Shall I go to the kitchen and cook you a bowl of hangover soup?”
“You know how to?”
She was a rich young lady who didn’t normally do chores.
Yin Shuiling didn’t speak. She knew. A month ago, she had reported to a culinary school. She was now working hard to learn cooking skills. But she hadn’t finished learning yet. She wouldn’t tell her older brother now. When she had finished learning, she would give him a surprise.
Those thoughts were running through her mind, when suddenly, she felt something soft and cool on her right cheek. Yin Muchen was kissing her.
