Chapter 230
Even at dawn is morning
"Haa~"
Mu Jinghuan yawned widely with her mouth open, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Yesterday's exam was so mentally taxing that she fell into a deep sleep after dinner.
I picked up my phone and glanced at it.
It was a little after eight in the morning.
A ray of sunlight streamed through the curtains and fell warmly on the carpet.
Mu Jinghuan threw back the covers and slipped her feet into the fluffy rabbit slippers. The fur tickled the instep of her feet.
The little robot slowly moved downstairs, step by step, the rabbit ears on its slippers swaying with each step.
The house is unusually quiet.
The humming of the refrigerator and the ticking of the wall clock could be heard clearly.
My brother has been away for the past few days, leaving the two sisters alone in the huge house.
It's better when my brother and Lin Chunu are both around...
Mu Jinghuan sighed and walked down the stairs, holding onto the handrail.
Halfway there, my ear twitched.
There's some noise downstairs.
sister?
wrong.
My sister walked quietly, her footsteps making soft, light noises.
The commotion downstairs was heavy and deep, each step distinct and clearly coming from a man.
This pace...
It's my older brother!
Mu Jinghuan's eyes lit up instantly. She lifted her skirt and ran down, her rabbit ears swinging like windmills.
With a "bang," the little robot hopped and skipped into the living room.
Shen Ye was indeed there.
He was facing away from the stairwell, bending over to put a bag over a trash can. His shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, revealing smooth lines on his forearms.
Hearing the noise, he turned around.
"Huanhuan, are you awake?"
"elder brother!"
The little robot rushed over in three quick steps, grabbed Shen Ye's arm, tilted its head back, and its eyes curved into two crescent moons.
"Brother, when did you get back?"
"It arrived this morning."
Shen Ye remained expressionless.
Well, that's not lying.
How can 3:30 a.m. not be considered morning?
"Oh, oh..." Mu Jinghuan nodded, then suddenly remembered something, let go of his arm, turned around and ran upstairs.
"I'll go call my sister. She'll be so happy to know you're back, brother!"
Before he could finish speaking, his collar tightened.
Shen Ye lifted her back and pressed her down beside him.
"Don't go," he said expressionlessly.
Why?
The little robot was a bit confused.
"It's summer vacation, let her sleep in a bit longer."
A hint of apology appeared on Shen Ye's face.
I stayed up really late last night.
It was already 3 a.m. when I got back to my room. After doing so many things, it was almost dawn by the time I finished.
He could stay up all night without any problem, but Mu Jingyan clearly couldn't handle it.
At this moment, Mu Jinghuan had no idea what had happened between her sister and brother after she fell asleep.
She obediently listened to Shen Ye's words and went to the bathroom to wash up, just like before.
Shen Ye also made up his mind to tell Huanhuan about her new brother-in-law tomorrow.
..........
Around 11 or 12 noon.
Second-floor bedroom.
The blanket bulged up into a big bulge, and after a while, a head popped out with a "pop".
Mu Jingyan sat up.
Her long hair was a mess, with a few strands clinging to her cheeks. She squinted, looking around blankly.
This is... Shen Ye's room.
After sitting for a full half minute, the girl's hazy consciousness gradually returned.
Then, a certain image appeared on my screen.
Mu Jingyan's face suddenly flushed, the heat spreading from her cheeks to the tips of her ears.
Shen Ye, that bastard!
He groped her all over, kissed her, and even rubbed her, and then... he actually...
He actually asked her to help him put out the fire?!
She refused! She resisted!
But her strength was like paper against that man; she was easily torn apart.
Then, she saw that thing...
Is that really something humans can achieve?!
Even now, when Mu Jingyan thinks back on it, her heart still trembles and her back teeth feel cold.
That guy even had the audacity to say something like, "You started the fire, you're responsible."
He was the one who started it!
He started the fire, he was the one who assaulted her, why should she be held responsible?!
But it was no use; she couldn't resist, she couldn't break free, and in the end... in the end...
Although he didn't actually do anything to her, and although that final line was still firmly maintained, but... but!
That man actually said he wanted her...
I dare not think about it.
I really don't dare to think about it anymore.
Mu Jingyan threw off the covers, jumped out of bed barefoot, and rushed into the private bathroom that was attached to Shen Ye's room.
She turned on the tap, filled a large basin with cold water, and then started washing her feet.
She lifted the hem of her nightgown, knelt on the bathroom floor tiles, clasped her feet with both hands, and rubbed them vigorously.
I rubbed the soles of my feet, the backs of my feet, and even between my toes, applying soap again and again until a thick layer of lather formed.
Useless.
None of it worked.
Even though I was soaking in ice water, I still vividly remember how I felt last night.
"Ah ...
Mu Jingyan knelt on the cold floor tiles, covered her face with her hands, and squeezed out an extremely shameful wail through her fingers.
