Jiangg Ning: [Voice message 60s——]
Jiangg Ning: [Voice message 58s——]
...
In the game room, awash with a kaleidoscope of colored lights, Jiangg Yao’s phone buzzed nonstop. Several messages had come in from her sister.
Jiangg Yao didn’t dare to open and listen to a single one. Excitement and fear mingled within her, weaving together into a peculiar feeling that was both thrilling and terrifying.
Sixty seconds was the limit for a Green Bubble voice message, but not for her sister.
She didn’t need to listen to know it was surely a barrage of, ’Jiangg Yao, you’d better behave yourself and not cause any trouble... Just wait until I get back... Or else...’ In short, it could all be summed up as: Don’t get too carried away with Chen Yuan, or you’ll get what’s coming to you.
Jiangg Yao waited five minutes without replying, then tossed her phone aside.
She clung to Chen Yuan, insisting on clipping her pink hair barrette onto his hair. He found it hard to refuse, yet he didn’t want to accept it either.
After struggling for a moment, he was getting rather flustered and exasperated.
The more flustered he got, the more happily Jiangg Yao laughed. She even clutched her stomach, leaning on him for support as she giggled, her hands never stopping their assault. While dodging, Chen Yuan had to hold her by the waist, afraid Yaoyao would fall off the chair.
Jiangg Yao’s slender legs were wrapped around his waist. Due to her constant wiggling, her bottom kept shifting around, rubbing against Chen Yuan in a way that made him extremely awkward. His cheeks flushed red in an instant.
"Fine, you can put it on. I won’t struggle anymore." He suddenly couldn’t bring himself to meet Jiangg Yao’s eyes and looked away.
"Would’ve been better if you’d just done that from the start."
Jiangg Yao separated a lock of his hair, combed it to the left, opened the clip, and pressed it on. With a crisp CLICK, her masterpiece was complete.
"So cute. Let your big sis give you a kiss."
"Don’t be weird."
"C’mon, c’mon. It’s not like I won’t take responsibility for you. Just give in, Young Master."
DING! DING! DING!
The two were in the middle of an endlessly ambiguous, intimate moment, but the phone started ringing like crazy.
Jiangg Yao had no time to deal with it and pretended not to hear.
"You have a message. Aren’t you going to answer?" Chen Yuan was the one who finally spoke up.
"Probably just spam. Ignore it."
Jiangg Yao’s philosophy was to stir up trouble and run. She had provoked her sister, but her thinking was, ’Anyway, she can’t come back right now, and her arm can’t reach all the way from Mingzhu City to Lanjing.’
’So what’s there to be afraid of?’
But not even half a minute later, the message alerts turned into a phone call, its ringing sounding jarringly loud in the room and shattering the sweet atmosphere of their private world.
"It must be urgent, or she wouldn’t send messages and then call. We should probably check."
Chen Yuan supported her waist, stretched out his arm, and grabbed the phone. One look at the caller ID made his head spin, and he and Jiangg Yao stared at each other, dumbfounded.
"What do we do? It’s a call from Ningning."
"What do you mean, ’what do we do’? Just answer it. Why do you look like you’ve been caught cheating? You’re actually scared?"
’Yeah, what am I afraid of?’ Chen Yuan thought it over and realized she was right. He shook the sudden sense of dread from his mind and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Sis? What’s up?"
Jiangg Yao spoke into the phone, not forgetting to keep her arms wrapped intimately around Chen Yuan, a look of lazy enjoyment on her face.
"Why didn’t you answer my messages!" a cold voice came through. Both of them raised an eyebrow.
"I was busy, Sister."
"Let me tell you something, Jiangg Yao. Every time I leave, you start all this nonsense, and then you act all innocent when I get home. I’m not falling for it this time. If you dare cause trouble for no reason again, I’ll give you a couple of slaps when I get back and see if that doesn’t teach you a lesson!"
The furious rebuke was as loud as thunder.
Chen Yuan had witnessed the two of them fighting once before from his hiding spot in the box. This was the second time he’d seen such a ferocious Ningning. It suddenly reminded him of his elementary school Chinese teacher, who was also his homeroom teacher. When she lost her temper, not a single student dared to look up.
The feeling was exactly the same as now.
He had the immediate urge to confess and apologize, but thankfully, he wasn’t the one being yelled at.
"I... I know," Jiangg Yao stammered, also intimidated. "Sister, I was just teasing you. Don’t be angry. We didn’t do anything."
As she spoke, she squeezed her legs around him even tighter.
A man’s waist is his softest spot, a place you normally can’t touch. When Yaoyao squeezed, he hissed in pain.
Unable to bear it, he whispered, "Get off of me first."
"Huh???" Jiangg Ning’s voice jumped three octaves. She had clearly heard it. After a half-second pause, she asked, "Chen? Chen? What did you just say?"
"Nothing, he didn’t say anything," Jiangg Yao quickly covered the microphone and motioned for him to be quiet. "He and I are just playing games here. Sis, you go back to what you were doing. I’m hanging up now."
"Jiangg Yao, you dare hang up on me? Just try it!"
"I... What is it, Sister? Go on."
"Stop pretending. I heard what Chen just said. I’m warning you both, you’d better behave. A little messing around is fine, but if you dare do anything out of line, I’ll deal with both of you when I get back. Do you hear me?!"
Jiangg Ning was truly furious. Chen Yuan and Yaoyao were scared silent, doing nothing but nodding again and again.
"Life with three people is a little crowded, so you two have decided to enter your own little world for two, is that it? I’ve only been gone a day! Before I left, I told you to take good care of Chen and not affect his studies. Is this how you take care of him? Speak, Jiangg Yao."
"Sister, don’t misunderstand. We really are just playing games together in the game room."
"You climb on top of him while playing games? Why don’t you start a video call for me right now? I’d love to see *how* you play your games."
"It was a victory... a hug out of excitement. Don’t worry, Sis. I won’t do anything too out of line."
"I’m still driving right now, and you’re making me so angry I could pass out. Anyway, that’s all for now. I’ll have a good talk with you when I get home."
She left them with that parting shot.
BEEP BEEP BEEP—
At the sound of the disconnected call, the two finally let out a breath of relief, their bodies going limp.
Seeing Chen Yuan break out in a cold sweat, Jiangg Yao covered her mouth and chuckled. "Look how scared you are."
"What did you do to provoke Ningning this time? You nearly got me killed along with you."
"Oh, nothing much. I just sent her that photo of you tied up with a ribbon."
"Hey!" Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and pinched her cheeks. "You did this on purpose to stir up trouble, didn’t you? When Ningning gets angry, won’t I be the one who has to calm her down? I’m the one who’ll have to face the music."
"I’m not sthiring up throuble," she said, her words muffled by his fingers on her cheeks. "I was just really happy today and wanted to share it with my sister."
"As if I don’t know what you’re thinking, Jiangg Yao. We’ve known each other in person for a while now. I might not know every single strand of your hair, but I at least know your personality inside and out. I’ve been thinking about something these past few days. No matter what’s going on with you and Ningning, I can’t get too involved in your relationship. Otherwise, it’ll throw everyone off balance."
"I know. I dare to make my sister angry, but you don’t."
"Tsk!" Chen Yuan was very unhappy with that comment. "How do you twist perfectly normal words into something else? You’re some kind of master instigator, aren’t you?"
"Forget it. Let’s not talk about this for now. How about I log on and play support for you? Gaming is more fun anyway."
"I’m not done talking. This is a serious matter."
"Just tell me if you’ll play or not, Young Master." free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Fine, I’ll play..." Chen Yuan picked Jiangg Yao up and placed her on another chair, pointing at her nose. "But you remember this: I want a tank support."
