Pursuing Her Best Friend after Confession Failed-Chapter 225 - 125 Li Zixia: Brother, is she my sister-in-law too? (Two in one, please subscribe)_4
Li Yuan frowned and asked, "It’s not going to be displayed in this supermarket, is it?"
The marketer nodded. "Yes, sir."
Li Yuan was reluctant. The supermarket was very close to Daxia University, and if their photo was displayed, they would be exposed. But after a glance at the adorably innocent Xia Zhijin, he held his tongue.
Li Yuan asked, "Do you have any masks? We can put them on."
"Yes, sir. Please wait a moment."
Li Yuan and Xia Zhijin put on their masks, held up the first-prize sign, and posed for the camera. CLICK. A photo was taken of them together.
...
「In the car.」
Li Yuan cheerfully held Xia Zhijin’s small hand. "Zhijin, you really are lucky. You’re my lucky star! We spent 5,200 today and won 10,000."
As they arrived at an unfamiliar residential community, Xia Zhijin grew more and more nervous. She handed the shopping card to Li Yuan and said shyly, "Li Yuan, you should have this shopping card."
Li Yuan laughed. "Why give it to me? You keep it. You can go shopping at the supermarket with your roommates sometime."
"We’re home. My parents and Zixia all live in this community, Jinxiu Villas," he said. "There’s too much stuff. I’ll call Zixia and ask her to come help us carry it."
A few moments later, an excited Li Zixia, still in her school uniform, arrived at the car.
Li Zixia glanced at the shy, head-lowered Xia Zhijin. I have a strange feeling... This girl is also very, very beautiful, but she’s definitely not the high school classmate my brother was pursuing, is she?
My brother is such a playboy! Did he just ditch that high school classmate of his? He just started university and already found someone new? she complained to herself.
She quickly composed herself, extending a hand with a bright smile and a tentative greeting.
"Hello, Sister-in-law. I’m Li Zixia."
Hearing the words "Sister-in-law" made Xia Zhijin’s face turn crimson. Trembling slightly, she extended her own hand, her voice extremely shy. "Hello, I’m Xia Zhijin."
She didn’t object to being called ’Sister-in-law’. I guess that means their relationship is official. That makes sense. If they weren’t official, a girl would never just casually go to a male classmate’s home.
Li Zixia was quick to warm up. She sidled up to Xia Zhijin and asked cheerfully, "Sister-in-law, you’re so beautiful! How did my brother win you over?"
Xia Zhijin instinctively glanced at Li Yuan.
"Ahem." Li Yuan coughed, feeling a bit awkward. My methods were so clumsy, it’s better not to bring them up.
"Li Zixia, I called you down here to carry things. Do you want to eat Aolong and King Crab or not? Get a move on and help out."
Li Zixia pouted. "Hmph! Bro, you just love using child labor."
But when she saw the Aolong, which were as thick as an arm, her eyes widened and her expression instantly changed.
"Bro, for the sake of these giant lobsters, I’ll forgive you!"
"But, Bro, why did you buy so much laundry detergent and so many tissues?"
"Ahem. We didn’t buy them. Your sister-in-law, Zhijin, won them in a prize draw."
...
Laden with bags big and small, the three of them headed upstairs.
Li Yuan glanced at Xia Zhijin and noticed her body was tense and rigid. She was clearly very nervous.
"Zhijin, don’t be nervous. Just make yourself at home."
"Zixia is easy to get along with. It’s just that her personality has gotten a bit... overly energetic these last few months."
Li Yuan looked at his lively, adorable sister. Ever since she found out her brother was a rich and famous author, she’s become so much more confident and energetic. She’s not sullen like she used to be. It seems wealth really can change a person’s personality.
