Chapter 8, Not Biological?

It is not that I have any particular feelings towards my cousin, but rather that I suddenly learned that my beloved cousin is actually an adopted child, which leaves me feeling quite unsettled.

"It's up to you; after all, my bed is quite large." I don't even know how I ended up agreeing to that

Oh, go ahead, what is it? I was thinking it must be about my cousin.

Well, she is adopted; she should already know that herself! Dad has dropped another bombshell.

I... I didn't do anything! I had a dream about marrying a wife; I can't possibly tell my cousin about it

"Dad, you misunderstood. Lingling was scared and wanted to sleep with me by herself. We didn't do anything at all," I quickly explained.

Before long, we fell asleep, but I felt a bit down; my dream of marrying a wife had vanished just like that. Unbeknownst to me, I fell asleep again. Oh my, how wonderful! I didn't expect the dream of marrying a wife to continue, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud

My cousin suddenly jumped up and pushed me aside, saying, "You better not take advantage of me! Otherwise, I will tell Uncle!"

You are not young anymore, and you understand many things. Be mindful, after all, Lingling is still young; it will not be too late in another two years, " Dad said meaningfully.

There were many fish, and they were not difficult to catch. Soon we had a harvest; I caught a grass carp, which was quite sizable. My cousin was very happy and hurried to help me put it into the bucket. However, unexpectedly, she lost her grip, and the fish ended up slapping the face of a person nearby

After dinner in the evening, I returned to my room to check the sports news. Haha, the Heat won again, and the Lakers also won. I looked at the player statistics and watched the highlights. Both Kobe and LeBron performed well, which made me very happy

Brother, how can you do this? I am so fair and tender, how can you bear to eat me? It's too brutal! My cousin and I never stop joking around.

After talking for a while, we went back to sleep. When we woke up in the morning, my parents had already prepared breakfast. A child cared for by their parents is truly fortunate

Wow, how can you still say that? Your first kiss? It must have been taken away by that dog long ago, right?" My cousin had a look of disdain on her face

The vacation for high school students is always very short. Before long, my cousin will be starting school again. During this time, not much has happened at home, and gradually I have also forgotten those strange occurrences.

I was so angry, couldn't you wait a little longer? I cursed in my heart and opened my eyes

I have something to tell you! Before I could ask, my dad spoke up first

Alright, my friend, I have a poor memory and may have gotten the number of times wrong! I will continue to joke with her

"Go away, go away, who had a spring dream? I merely had an ordinary dream, dreaming that you, little girl, were being mischievous again!" I half-jokingly tried to change the subject

At this moment, my cousin returned, tired from running. She said she wanted to find a place to fish, so we walked around a bit more, found a spot that looked good, rented three fishing rods, and began fishing.

Alright, I heard Lingling shout that yesterday, so you don't need to explain. Of course, you don't need to worry about anything. It has been quite normal for cousins to marry since ancient times, and besides... besides, Lingling and you actually have no blood relation!" My father's words completely shocked me. As for the first part, I immediately recalled how loudly my cousin called me a pervert last night; it was not surprising to hear that. However, the latter part... I felt as if I had encountered a melodramatic plot from a TV show or a book, though it was somewhat different.

I didn't take it seriously either; how can such people make money if they don't scare others with their words

As he swung his fist, I suddenly lunged forward a step, almost pressing against him. His swinging punch was rendered ineffective, and at the same time, I delivered an elbow strike to his jaw, resulting in a knockout

I also returned to school about ten days after my cousin started, which was nearly half a month earlier than the official start date.

"Are you saying that Lingling is not your biological child?" I asked my father, puzzled.

Today has indeed been quite good; aside from the somewhat irritating nonsensical remarks from the blind man, I have been very happy throughout the day

However, I thought to myself that you must have watched too many foolish gangster films; with your guard down like this, aren't you just asking for trouble

I gently touched my wife's bottom and kissed her lips. Just as I was about to take things further, someone pinched me.

"Are you blind? Damn it, are you really blind!" The young man was very angry, but after all, it was our fault, so let him scold us.

However, when my cousin came out of my room wearing pajamas, I noticed a strange look in my parents' eyes. It was then that I realized that things were different from a few days ago; there were more people in the house than just my cousin and me. I hope my parents don't misunderstand anything, as that would be quite problematic.

... ...

After walking for twenty to thirty minutes, we saw someone flying a kite ahead. My cousin and Tingting both found it amusing, so I bought each of them a kite. The two of them ran off to fly the kites and quickly ran far away.

"Hehe, brother, did you have a spring dream?" the little girl suddenly asked with a smile.

This young man, I can see that you are burdened with misfortune; things have not been going well for you lately, have they?" The blind man suddenly said to me in a low voice

Do not speak nonsense, I have been quite content lately! I do not wish to engage in idle chatter with such superstitious individuals

I got into a heated argument with the librarian, and damn it, it just wouldn't end! I have never subscribed to the "no hitting women" principle; I directly slapped her across the face. Clearly, this escalated the situation, as the blonde young man immediately came up to fight, swinging his arm and throwing a punch at me with considerable force.

I was taken aback. Could it be that this blind man is pretending? When he walked over, I didn't move at all. How did he know I was standing here and that I was a man?

"You big pervert, you really took advantage of me!" My cousin said, her eyes wide open and her lips pouting in anger. I felt extremely embarrassed; all those actions just now were directed at her, and it was too shameful.

What are you doing, brother

It became simple after that; I kicked him twice and then pulled my cousin away. The non-mainstream woman started making a phone call, seemingly calling for someone. I'm not a fool; why would I wait for her to summon someone? I immediately called for a car, and the three of us made our escape.

I did not eat well, and I was contemplating whether to explain or not. Because sometimes an explanation is merely a disguise, and a disguise is indeed a fact

"Brother, I've gotten used to staying with you these past few days. I can't sleep by myself. Can I still sleep here with you?" said my cousin, a bit shyly.

I know my father misunderstood me. Although I slept in the same bed with my cousin for a few days, I truly did not do anything inappropriate. Of course, what happened last night was purely accidental

However, I quickly scolded myself for being an idiot, wondering why I was thinking so much. Regardless of whether she is my biological cousin or not, she is still my cousin, and I will continue to care for her as I always have. The bond we have built over the years has nothing to do with whether we are biologically related. I slapped my face to shake off my mood, and at that moment, my cousin walked in

"Alright, I will go with you." I would just be playing games at home with the books anyway, so it is better to go out for a walk.

Coming out of my father's room, my feelings are quite complicated

Upon returning home, I saw that my cousin was also fine, which relieved me. It had been a long time since I had a fight, and today I indulged in it, feeling quite good.

After a while, the blind man finished his work, took his tools, and prepared to leave. However, just as he walked past me, he suddenly stopped.

That's great, but why are you asking this? I know what Dad is going to ask, but I still have to play dumb

No, not at all. I could just steam you and eat you directly. I just touched you to see if you were cooked, and then I started eating. I can see that this girl isn't really angry; she's just joking.

It seems that I have never taken advantage of you in any way from beginning to end, yet you ruthlessly took away someone's first kiss!" I pretended to be sad while joking.

She knows? I asked in surprise

Indeed, you should have noticed as well that Lingling does not resemble your aunt and uncle at all. How could she not have her doubts? She must already be aware of it

Once a person enters university, they will feel bored after staying at home for too long, and instead, they will want to return to school. This is simply unimaginable for high school students

I returned to my room, sitting alone in front of the computer, lost in thought. I did not turn on the computer; instead, I kept thinking about my cousin. I was unsure how to approach her again.

What do you think of Lingling? Lingling is my cousin's nickname

I strolled slowly and arrived beneath a large willow tree by the lake, where a blind man was fortune-telling, surrounded by quite a few people. I went over to take a look; the blind man's fees were not high, and many people were getting their fortunes told. I noticed that the blind man only spoke good words, making everyone appear radiant and full of hope, no wonder they were willing to pay.

Heh, since that's the case, then consider me to be nagging! After saying this, he left.

In the television series, every time Duan Yu encounters a woman, his father exclaims, "Your sister!" However, in my case, it is more like, "Not your sister!"

Next to us was a young man with a head full of golden hair, accompanied by a non-mainstream girl, seemingly a couple. My cousin quickly apologized, and I also took out a tissue to wipe for him, while simultaneously offering my apologies.

"You dreamed of me, huh? Did I wear clothes in your dream?" My cousin said with an evil smile

As soon as I entered, my father closed the door

Brother, do you want to go play at East Lake? Tingting asked me to go, so come with me!" My cousin came in with her backpack, indicating that she had already packed her things.

I have met Tingting; she is quite a character. As the saying goes, "big breasts, no brains," which is why I have always thought she is somewhat unreliable. This is also one of the reasons I followed along, as I am not at ease with my cousin being with her

Moreover, my parents did not say anything; I directly ran to explain. Wasn't that a sign of guilt? Just as I was pondering this, my father suddenly called me to their room

I had nothing much to tidy up, just took my wallet and went out with my cousin.

However, it does not matter; instead, I find myself in a state of tranquility

It took less than half an hour by taxi to reach East Lake. There weren't many people, and my cousin was chatting and laughing with Tingting, while I sat aside like a third wheel

But who would have thought that the woman next to the young man would come up and slap my cousin, while also scolding her incessantly, causing my cousin to burst into tears.

At that moment, my cousin came in, and my mother asked her to read. I occasionally taught her a bit. Before long, it was time for bed. This time, I insisted that she could not sleep here, and she could only go back and count chicken legs if she couldn't fall asleep
