Chapter 6

Wei Baoping quickly climbed off her in fright. "Sister, are you alright?"

In the past, I was completely wrong

He simply buried his face in the nook of her shoulder

Wei Baoping was puzzled, but he quickly found the flashlight and handed it to her

She suddenly sat up

He is not one of us! Dad, you are not his father!

Oh? How much is it? Can you afford to rent a house? Can you pay for tuition? What about three meals a day?

Isn't this nonsense

She changed her position to face him directly, then leaned forward, their foreheads touching.

Wei Baoping lowered his head. Just when the Wei family was helplessly thinking that this child was ignoring them as usual, he shyly raised his eyes, slightly tugged at the stiff corners of his mouth, and said softly: "Uncle, Aunt, good morning"

Barefoot, I walked back and forth on the cold floor. Upon reaching the staircase, I could still hear the sound of Wei Jiaquan's reprimands from downstairs, his wife's attempts to persuade, and the intermittent cries of the child. However, there was no sound of Wei Baoping crying inside.

The ground was still in disarray, marked by the traces of the fight with Wei Shengsheng. He hurried to clean up, and as he picked up the drawing paper that had been stepped on multiple times by Wei Shengsheng, his fingers gently brushed over the curved lips of the figure in the drawing

Wei Baoping widened his eyes and involuntarily held his breath. In that moment, many images flashed through his mind; his aunt had once bumped heads with Wei Xiaoqiao like this, and at the sports meet, many parents treated their children in the same way, displaying a scene of familial bliss that he found very displeasing and jarring.

Good morning, Xiaobao

Are you foolish? Do you enjoy getting beaten to a pulp?

Well, speaking of this, I feel very sorry for my younger brother. My brother is somewhat clever, but unfortunately, he uses his intelligence in the wrong way, always clashing hard with family. He ends up getting hurt all over, and I am not doing well either. His future could be that of a hero, or a rogue, or he might just be an ordinary person; I am not particularly concerned. I only hope he can be a little more selective and cherish the important people and matters, just like you. If you stuff too many things in, it will definitely become chaotic, and when the time comes to find what you truly want, you might end up in a flurry, and perhaps you will even forget that you have an older sister. Do you think my brother will be like that?

The scolding voice of the male host downstairs suddenly came to an end

She pressed the mute button again and then turned it up to the maximum after ten seconds

The flashlight suddenly lit up, and he was taken aback; before him was a small mirror that he had bought for his sister

After a while, she turned the volume up to the maximum

Sister, how..." He suddenly fell silent, staring at himself in the mirror

It is surprising that he is not heavy. ... At this age, he should not allow her to hold him, and he does not even push her away, it is truly ... . ... He is so heavy. She suspects that this child really enjoys being close to people; every time she appears, he always loves to touch her. If it weren't for the fact that there are no dolls among his toys, she would really think he treats her like a doll.

His sister is right; it seems he can't even support himself, he only knows how to talk big

He opened his mouth, tightly holding her hand, wanting to say: "Sister, we are siblings, inseparable! I will protect you! We will move out, away from this family's anger, and from now on, I will take care of you alone"

Little Bao, whom do you actually want to kiss? Do you realize you are kissing all over the place? It's all just saliva! She was completely knocked down, laughing softly and sharply.

Wei Baoping stood there with his head lowered, appearing somewhat dazed

Is it about running away from home? Where do you want to go? To sleep in the park and be a beggar?

He stared blankly, looking from his reflection in the mirror towards his sister, who was hiding in the shadows.

Sister, you must cherish this, for I have never kissed my uncle nor my aunt; I have only kissed you, and in the future, I will only kiss you

Heaven is truly unfair; since it has to give him relatives, why only half? Wouldn't it be better to give him all? He harbored immense resentment in his heart, and it was not until two minutes after she finished speaking that he realized she was also representing.

Wei Jiaquan sighed again. "Alright, alright, back to your rooms." After hesitating for a moment, he said to Wei Baoping, "You go upstairs. If you see... just think of it as your great-great-grandmother; she won't harm you."

Although she is an abnormal existence, intervening in the thoughts of the little one, perhaps he is doing better because of it? She only hopes that her and the little treasure's paths are merely intersecting lines, and that they will not continue to overlap in the future, affecting the other good aspects that belong to him

"Xiao Bao, you are so heavy." She struggled to carry him back to the room

His body first stiffened for a moment, then gradually relaxed, gently embracing her neck.

"Wait a moment, Ah Hui, don't go up..." The male host of this household is very sensitive. "Let me think, I think I might have been too strict. Alright, alright, you all stop kneeling, put the rattan back, I said no hitting, so there will be no hitting."

Sister, you only want me to be your younger brother, right? When I am not happy, you will also be unhappy, and you won't go off to be happy with someone else, right? For example, Wei Shengsheng, would you like him to be your younger brother...

She squatted down in front of him and embraced him tightly

Sister! Sister, I will be the best brother! Just wait and see! He choked with excitement, holding her tightly. In the past, he always felt that his sister seemed to intentionally keep her distance from him, but now that distance had vanished. He was overjoyed, and even if he were to be beaten by Wei Shengsheng ten or twenty more times, it would not matter to him.

"Oh, when a boy hugs a girl, it's so embarrassing," she softly coaxed

The sound of heavy footsteps echoed in the stairwell

Good morning, sister

I no longer wish to stay in this home, I do not want to see their expressions. Sister, it is so painful to read people's faces he said softly

The rain outside has stopped, and bright sunlight streams through the window. Wei Baoping feels an unprecedented joy as he looks around, only to find the quilt in disarray, with no one else present.

He remained silent

He waited for a moment, but not receiving a response, he quietly said: "Sister, shall we move out?"

"Wei Xiaobao, considering that you protected me today, I forgive you this time, but there will be no next time." This young man nearly caused her internal injuries. Wasn't he just a little child three years ago? Has he grown too fast!

If only he were wealthy, if only he were a millionaire, now he still needs someone to support him, how can I support him, sister

Of course! Sister, if I had a biological sister, I would definitely pamper her, love her, and support you. If someone bullies you, I will chase them away for you. Whoever dares to take advantage of you, I will retaliate against them. Even if you did something very bad, I would take the blame for you. He secretly inserted her into his words.

Alright, I will just wait and see, waiting for you to support me... Well, if you end up in a bad situation in the future, you cannot blame me for it. She comforted herself

"You little rascal, you are truly unlikable," she said, immediately feeling her neck tighten considerably. "However, I grew up alongside you; if I don't support you, who will? Alright, little treasure, Xiuxiu, be good, don't cry, okay?"

He took a deep breath and sang softly with a hint of childishness: "Sweet, sweet, your smile is so sweet... it’s like flowers blooming in the spring breeze..." His expression relaxed, maintaining a smile. "Sister, I sing better than you do." After saying this, he changed into his school clothes and carried his backpack downstairs

When Uncle shows this expression, it is usually because Aunt has just mentioned something about his nephew, and it is not something to be proud of

Each time he tells himself, it's okay, he doesn't like being so close to adults, he really doesn't like it... His heart races as he stammers, "Sister..."

He tightly clutched the Buddha amulet at his chest and energetically jumped out of bed

If you don't accept me, what if I never leave and cling to you forever

He grinned widely, feeling both shy and eager to rush out and tell everyone that he has an older sister, and he is not at all interested in cousins or uncles and aunts.

Hmm? The adorable Wei Baoping, he has always existed and is quite endearing, but he keeps himself hidden from others. If he allowed more people to see him, everyone would come to like him. Look, don't I like him very much?

Wei Jiaquan shouted loudly, raising his palm. "You little brat, say that again!"

He could not help but rush over to kiss her a couple more times

Wei Xiaobao, are you out of your mind? Why would I consider him as a younger brother? Do you think I am his caretaker or a saint?" After a pause, she said directly: "However, if I were to be his sister, I believe it would be much easier for me. At least he wouldn't end up battered and bruised, struggling for no reward, and I wouldn't have to worry about him so much.

Although the lighting is too dim and somewhat unclear, he still wears a joyful smile on his face, just like... Just like Wei Baoping in his sister's sketch? Is it not Wei Shengsheng's smile that his sister drew, but rather his own smile? "Look, what a lovely smile! Little Bao, do you also have such a smile?"

Wei Baoping initially thought he would suffer from insomnia. Indeed, his emotions had fluctuated greatly today, but he did not expect that amidst her calm and warm singing voice and her reassuring breathing, he would gradually close his eyes and enter a peaceful slumber with a smile on his face

Aunt is making breakfast in the kitchen, while Uncle is holding a cup of soy milk. The two are whispering to each other in the kitchen. When they noticed Wei Jiaquan, he was momentarily taken aback and smiled awkwardly

He curled his lips upon hearing this. He knew that his sister was incapable of offering any comfort; it would be better for him to lick his own wounds. He said sullenly, "I definitely don't want Uncle to find out about you; they would surely send someone to take you away."

Wei Shengsheng, being still young, clearly felt wronged himself, yet his father was exceedingly biased. He could not manage to act coy as usual to get through this situation. As tears fell, he cried out loudly:

Sister, just wait and see, I will be the best brother in the world! I won't let you worry about me all the time... I know you care about me the most! He will also have someone who cares about him... He smiled foolishly, but couldn't help thinking that if Wei Shengsheng were him, would he really have an easier life? Clearly, Wei Shengsheng is not as smart as he is; he always ranks first in exams. At most, he just knows how to please others better, which he finds most shameful... He smiled foolishly, but couldn't help thinking that if Wei Shengsheng were him, would he really have an easier life? Clearly, Wei Shengsheng is not as smart as he is; he always ranks first in exams. At most, he just knows how to please others better, which he finds most shameful...

He lay beside her, carefully tugging at her sleeve, and said flatteringly: "I told you, I will protect you. Sister, I will protect you like this from now on, okay?"

Of course you have to cling to me! He said urgently: "Sister, cling to me, there are many benefits for you! I have said I will support you for a lifetime, I will take care of you as long as I live!"

I said... I said. Clearly, this is not his home, how long does he intend to stay? Why must I share my belongings with him? Those things originally belonged to me! Dad, I am your son, not him! I will not divide Mom and Dad between us!

The room was pitch dark, and she couldn't free her hands to turn on the light. She originally intended to place him on the bed, but instead, she kicked the corner of the bed frame and fell into the quilt herself

Sister... what are you looking for?" He climbed up after her.

I do not intimidate Wei Shengsheng, as he is still a child, which is why I remained silent before. However, regardless of Wei Baoping's poor character, I will still defend him. Wei Baoping is under my protection; I am just borrowing something. " She picked up the small tape recorder from the altar and began to play with it.

The volume from upstairs instantly returned to normal

Wei Jiaquan strained his ears, waiting and waiting, but no further unusual sounds emerged. He let out a quiet sigh and said: "Everyone go back to your rooms, the punishment is... tomorrow after class, go straight home, and the two of you will work together to complete the cleaning. From now on, do not distinguish between outsiders and insiders; you are brothers. When you grow up, you will find today's quarrel quite ridiculous. Ah Sheng, you do not have a biological older brother; Xiao Bao is your brother. In the future, you will understand how important brotherly support is. From now on, do not distinguish between outsiders and insiders; you are brothers. When you grow up, you will find today's quarrel quite ridiculous. Ah Sheng, you do not have a biological older brother; Xiao Bao is your brother. In the future, you will understand how important brotherly support is. Xiao Bao, he is your younger brother, still young and not quite aware of the situation. You will always be his older brother, so don't be so stubborn; forgive him, okay?"

Sweet, sweet, you smile so sweetly, just like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, blooming in the spring breeze. Where, where have I seen you? Your smile is so familiar, I can't recall it for a moment...

He stole another glance at himself in the mirror. At this moment, he couldn't stop smiling, his eyes curved with a hint of shyness. Could he really have such a smile? So, this is how he appears in front of his sister?

Wei Baoping

I have money! I have pocket money, I am self-reliant, and I will not become a beggar!

What are you doing?! Wei Jiaquan was taken aback as soon as he arrived. He strode over and separated the two children who were entangled like twins. "You are so impressive, learning to fight your own family!"

Immediately after, Aunt's voice floated up. "What happened? Is it broken? I'll go take a look."

He woke up before the alarm clock rang

Wei Shengsheng, what are you saying! Upon seeing his father’s furious expression, Wei Shengsheng was so frightened that he fell silent. He then noticed his mother standing in the stairwell, her face filled with compassion, her lips continuously forming the word 'apologize.' His younger sister, on the other hand, was peering at him with a curious expression from behind their mother.

In an instant, countless joys surged into his heart, washing away all resentment completely, leaving him dizzy and almost unable to bear such happiness

Wei Baoping did not speak

With a soft chirp, he felt a kiss on his forehead, and his whole body stiffened for a moment... He was kissed again and again...

As he brushed his teeth and washed his face, he looked at himself in the mirror, his mind wandering to his sister. The reflection in the mirror smiled foolishly and uncontrollably, indeed somewhat charming like a sketch. However, as soon as he thought of the Wei family, his smile instantly vanished, and this happened every time he tried.

"A man does not cry, I did not cry." He said sullenly, adding, "I am not heavy either"

to enter, and it is done in a blatant manner

Upon hearing this, he suddenly blushed. He no longer looked in the mirror, his gaze falling directly on his sister in the shadows. His eyes immediately turned red, and he whispered, "You are the one I love the most, sister... In this world... only you are sincere to me." He suddenly lunged forward and kissed her.

Wei Jiping quickly turned over from her body

Just as the words were about to leave his lips, he promptly closed his mouth, and a rush of warmth surged to his cheeks, bringing with it an endless sense of shame

In this world, only my sister treats me the best. I swear that in this lifetime, I will only be good to my sister! I will only kiss her!

She leaned down again, passed over the light source, and heavily kissed him on the forehead once more

She let out a muffled groan

Family Complete

Adults often engage in contradictory behaviors; they clearly care deeply for their children yet pretend to treat them indifferently. They may not want to support them, but they still maintain appearances by inquiring about their well-being. From the child's perspective, this all seems insincere. He would not act this way; dislike is dislike, and like is like. Why wear a false mask to deceive others

Wei Baoping originally anticipated that she would realize he was incorporating her into his words, but later, as they were too close, he could feel her faint breathing, very light and shallow, even shallower than his own. He became momentarily entranced, counting the number of her breaths. He calculated that in one minute, she only took a third of his breaths. Was she really not human?

I am not wrong! I am not wrong! He is just an outsider, Dad only cares for outsiders!

Sister... when I am not happy, are you also not happy?" he asked softly

"Xiao Bao, don't kiss me, I don't want to wash my face. I will sing you a lullaby, you just sleep obediently, so that you can have the energy to face the start of the day tomorrow." Without waiting for his response, her cool voice gently rose in the darkness:

The gathering downstairs has dispersed, the lights have been turned off one by one, and the members of the Wei family have each returned to their rooms, leaving only the small light in the stairwell still on. Faint footsteps can be heard, step by step, as Wei Baoping walks up with his head lowered.

In the past three years, his sister has not kissed him again; this is the second time she has kissed him. He really wants to tell her that he is no longer a child and that she should not kiss him like that. However, he is also afraid that if he says this, she will really keep her distance, which he does not want. He really enjoys being hugged and kissed by his sister, even though it is quite embarrassing for a boy to be hugged like that.

I remember you placed the flashlight on the bed, where is it

"Little Bao, your sister must be very happy, right?" She smiled

She looked at the clock on the wall, clasped her hands in front of the ancestral tablet of the Wei family, and whispered
