Chapter 569: Chapter 569: I Am Your Sister (24)
The vacation destination was on an island, where the inland weather was scorching, but the island’s climate was pleasant, making it perfect for summer retreats.
Shen Ming had purchased a villa here and seemed to plan to live here with Chuzheng for a while.
The island was large, with many entertainment amenities, providing everything one needed for dining and leisure.
“Baby, want to go for a walk?” Shen Ming called her.
They had been here for two days, and since their arrival, Chuzheng had not stepped out of the room.
Chuzheng was lying on the couch, not wanting to move: “I don’t want to.”
Shen Ming walked over, checked her forehead, and asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“No.” She just couldn’t be bothered to move.
It was noisy outside, a waste of time, so she didn’t want to go.
“Then why won’t you go?” Shen Ming leaned in, making Chuzheng only see him, and kissed her: “Don’t you want to go out with me?”
“I don’t want to move.” Lying down felt so good, she had no idea how to enjoy herself.
“I’ll drive.”
Chuzheng refused expressionlessly.
Shen Ming: “…”
Shen Ming couldn’t do anything about Chuzheng. You see, if she had been eager to run around outside all day, he might have gotten angry and held her back.
But she was just fine, not going out of the main door nor the secondary one.
How was he supposed to show off his capabilities?
Ten days later.
On the eve of Chuzheng’s birthday.
Shen Ming had someone decorate the villa, but Chuzheng didn’t care much.
“Shen Ming!”
The flashy Xie Yuepei, wearing gaudy beach shorts, charged straight into the courtyard.
He carried himself as if he were meeting a long-lost brother.
“Xie Yuepei, you jerk!”
A woman’s voice sounded from behind, and Xie Yuepei’s complexion changed, braking in time, heading back to help the girl with her luggage, and hurriedly pushing it inside.
Xie Yuepei spread his arms, ready to hug Shen Ming.
Before he could touch Shen Ming, his wrist was suddenly seized, and he was pulled backward.
He collided with the girl who was following him, and she, having been hit quite hard, picked up her bag and began beating Xie Yuepei with it.
“Are you trying to kill me, damn it?”
Xie Yuepei looked innocent and glared at Chuzheng who was standing beside Shen Ming.
How come this little girl was so strong?
Shen Ming didn’t know why Chuzheng had suddenly acted out, but he was in a very good mood.
“How come you’re here?”
Shen Ming spoke up, and the girl immediately quieted down, straightened up her appearance, and smiled.
Touching his head, Xie Yuepei complained, “Miss, can you stop pretending, please? It’s freaking me out.”
“Haven’t changed yet?” Shen Ming’s gaze swept over the girl.
Xie Yuepei’s girlfriends were usually fleeting, but this one had nearly lasted half a year without breaking up, which even Shen Ming found strange.
“Ah.” Xie Yuepei sighed and quickly changed the subject: “Do you plan on hosting me at the door?”
Shen Ming stepped aside, gesturing for them to come in.
The girl smiled shyly and walked inside with small, delicate steps.
As she passed Chuzheng, she gave a very friendly smile.
Chuzheng: “…”
She was really pretty.
And had a great figure, so how did Xie Yuepei, that pig, manage to snag her?
Xie Yuepei felt very wronged.
It was clearly she who came onto him!
Xie Yuepei had met his match, but deep down he probably liked this girl, otherwise, with his philanderer’s constitution, how could he just accept it.
The villa became livelier with two more people, not to mention one of them was Xie Yuepei, who could get hyped up at any moment, turning the place into a ruckus.
Shen Ming was not one for many words.
And Chuzheng was even less so.
One sentence might as well be condensed into a single word.
So, the only ones causing a commotion were Xie Yuepei and the girl named Yu Niannian.
This young lady seemed soft and fragile, very much evoking a desire to protect her.
But in reality, she was quite fierce—if it really came to fighting, Xie Yuepei could only beg for mercy.
Yu Niannian pulled Chuzheng aside to chat, leaving only Xie Yuepei and Shen Ming in the living room.
“You like her?”
Xie Yuepei stretched out carelessly on the sofa. When he heard Shen Ming’s question, he laughed teasingly, “I like all beauties.”
Shen Ming arched an eyebrow.
Instantly, Xie Yuepei’s smile faded, “Don’t remind me… why was I blind to think she was a delicate Yue flower at first?!”
Thinking about the life he had led for the past six months made Xie Yuepei wish he could find a time machine to go back.
“It’s all your fault!” Xie Yuepei remembered why he met Yu Niannian and suddenly jumped up, “If you hadn’t abandoned me there, how would I have run into her?”
Shen Ming: “When you get married, remember to thank me.”
Xie Yuepei almost leaped over to hit him.
He has nothing to thank him for!
He refrained from beating him up only because of their many years of friendship!

“You and your sister…” Xie Yuepei gossiped about Chuzheng: “How are things going?”
“Pretty good.”
“She just accepted you like that?”
Shen Ming nodded, and Xie Yuepei asked curiously, “Does she know about you two not being blood-related?”
Shen Ming tapped his fingertips on his wristband, “She probably doesn’t know.”
Xie Yuepei clicked his tongue twice, then asked some more messy questions.
After midnight, Chuzheng would be eighteen years old.
So the four of them caused a ruckus in the hall, particularly Xie Yuepei and Yu Niannian.
Latterly, it was Shen Ming and Xie Yuepei drinking.
Yu Niannian and Chuzheng sat to the side and chatted idly.
“It’s almost twelve,” Xie Yuepei slurred tipsily, suddenly pointing at his watch.
Shen Ming glanced at the time, stood up to get the cake and candles, while Xie Yuepei staggered over to turn off the lights.
The room plunged into darkness.
Chuzheng: “…”
Shen Ming: “…”
Yu Niannian: “Xie Yuepei are you a pig? The candles aren’t even lit yet, why are you turning off the lights!”
Xie Yuepei: “…”
Xie Yuepei turned the lights back on, waited for Shen Ming to light the candles, and waited until after midnight.
Xie Yuepei clamored to start singing the birthday song.
By candlelight, Chuzheng’s indifferent face showed her looking at the burning candles as if in a trance.
“Baby, make a wish.”
Chuzheng came back to reality, “Make what wish?”
“What does baby want to wish for?”
Chuzheng shook her head, “I don’t have any.”
She just wanted to go back, but that wasn’t something a wish could fulfill—it had to be done by herself, wishing was useless.
Shen Ming was taken aback for a moment, and even Xie Yuepei and Yu Niannian quieted down.
The girl highlighted by the candlelight appeared calm and indifferent at that moment, exuding a particularly distant aura.
Shen Ming wrapped an arm around Chuzheng’s shoulder and whispered in her ear, “Then baby, just wish to always be with brother.”
Chuzheng looked at him.
Shen Ming holding her hand: “Shall brother wish with you? Close your eyes.”
Yu Niannian leaned on Xie Yuepei and asked in a low voice, “Is that their term of endearment?”
Xie Yuepei was a bit dizzy, “What term of endearment?”
“Brother?”
“He is actually her brother.”
Yu Niannian: “…”
Xie Yuepei was about to say they weren’t blood-related when Chuzheng blew out the candles, and he immediately sprang up.
Yu Niannian was dazed for a long time.
Just earlier she was advising her to sleep quickly with her man…
Xie Yuepei shouted from there: “Niannian, come on over!”
“Coming.”
Yu Niannian took a deep breath, pretending like she knew nothing and went over.
