Chapter Four, Junior Sister (Four)

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Hengnan cried with tear-stained cheeks

Having wiped my hands with a disinfecting towel, I received a phone call

Hengnan's cool hand reached up, grasping the cup, and before long, he drank all the water in the glass with a series of gulps

Throughout this entire day, she was indeed very thirsty

There was no response. As he loosened his grip, the piece of button vine fell to the ground. He stepped on it with the tip of his shoe, and it struggled for a long time before finally managing to turn over and kneel down, producing a series of thudding sounds as it bowed.

As soon as Hengnan was touched, his gaze suddenly became focused, and a surge of rage and hatred washed over him. The sudden sharp pain caused Sheng Jun to instinctively withdraw his hand, revealing two rows of small, deep bite marks beneath his thumb

Before his words had faded, he brought his two fingers together and, with dazzling speed, flipped them, grasping something in the void. He then pressed down forcefully, and in an instant, a sound resembling a scream echoed through the air. The hanging blinds shook with a "pop" as if some invisible entity was desperately struggling.

The button vine collided in a state of utter confusion, the world spinning around, shaking its head, and once again crawled over in a bobbing manner.

Yu Baihe visited the lady four times in the afternoon, and each time she was sleeping soundly with her arms as a pillow, turned away from her, and completely silent in her slumber

Sheng Junshu settled down in Hengnan, surveyed the room, confirmed that there were no more flowers and plants that had turned into spirits, and bent down to affix a calming talisman to the corner of the bed

Come out by yourself, or do I have to find you

The snow-white bare feet gently swayed in the air, and the breeze created by the toes sent the light and airy button vine tumbling over, blowing it to the corner.

The girl with a pale complexion is wearing a white camisole nightgown, curled up in the cabinet with her knees hugged to her chest, completely motionless, resembling a doll placed inside a box

In the past, Sheng Junshu often worked overtime during the day and also at night, leaving only breakfast for her to eat in a day. The breakfast was too extravagant, and Sheng Junshu found it wasteful. With her eighteen skills unable to be utilized, it was truly frustrating. Fortunately, now there is a wife.

Sheng Junshu sat on the other side of the bed, and in the blink of an eye, she received three phone calls, all concerning business, leaving her no time to pay attention to how Heng Nan was mistreating that hanging orchid.

by that most gentle and generous junior sister, who is calm and composed, with sparkling eyes when speaking to him, and speaks in a soft and gentle voice

He frowned, lifted the blanket, and with one hand grabbed the front of Hengnan's clothing, pulling her up: "Sit up, it's easy to get otitis media if it flows into your ears"

Sheng Junshu casually picked up the unopened facial cleanser, glanced at the bottom of the bottle, and then set it down.

The woman seems to be outdoors, with the sound of the wind rushing through the receiver. She can hardly conceal her excitement in her tone, as if she has become a different person: "Oh my, Nannan, let me tell you, where did you find such a golden son-in-law?"

He is ... ...

"Madam," Yu Baihe sighed, "For things that cannot be avoided, there is no need to evade them. Men are all like that, driven by an innate desire to conquer. The more you run, the more they will seek to take by force; if you do not run, there may still be a glimmer of hope..."

Sheng Junshu silently caressed his wound, and upon reflection, he understood the source of Hengnan's hostility towards him

Sheng Junshu's gaze swept across the balcony, the tea table, the dressing table, and the bed. With a sudden inspiration, she placed her hand on the door of the built-in wardrobe, which was as large as a wall, and slowly slid it open, lifting aside the outermost row of colorful women's clothing.

Sheng Junshu felt a tingling sensation all over his body

Fortunately, his voice was deep and pleasant, with a calm tone, and he did not show any urgency to leave; instead, it became a delightful background sound

After a while, the piercing scream that was maddeningly filled with resentment transformed into a faint, whimpering cry, reminiscent of a voice belonging to a girl of thirteen or fourteen. At the same time, a lush green spider plant outside the window withered and turned yellow in an instant.

Before getting closer, Hengnan deliberately kicked it again, sending it far away once more

Halfway through, I felt something. I reached out to touch it, and the stiff and hot shirt was wrinkled and crumpled by Hengnan, with a large portion of it pulled out.

The phone call ended, and Sheng Junshu indeed stood up, pulled back the blanket, laid her flat, and gently pressed her head: "You rest well at home, Senior Brother will head back first"

Upon closer inspection, one realizes that the girl's face is covered with intersecting tear marks, which glisten brightly when illuminated by light

Hengnan

His tone was flat, utterly unlike someone who had lost a fiancée. The housekeeper looked at him several times in disbelief. However, being trained, she understood that there were many secrets within wealthy families, and with a heart full of unease, she quickly walked away

Sheng Junshu was sitting sideways on the bed at https://wwwhetushu.com, pressing down on the corner of her blanket. With her knees slightly bent, she had a slim laptop resting on her lap, her ten fingers flying as she hurriedly replied to several emails from department managers.

"Hengnan." Sheng Junshu called out.

Baked oysters with cheese. Yu Baihe placed a towel underneath and served her a bowl of soup: "This is yam and white fungus soup." Glancing at the girl's pale face, she said affectionately, "It nourishes the kidneys and replenishes qi and yin."

She looked towards the bedside, where a row of crooked "I'm sorry" was written on the floor, stained with water. The frequency of the button's knocking had gradually slowed down, "thud, thud, thud, thud," accompanied by the faint, desperate sound of breathing, "huff, huff."

Thinking of this, he patiently bent down, one hand slipped into the bend of her knee, while the other reached behind her, quickly lifting her out of the wardrobe before Hengnan could struggle violently.

Isn't it the household registration book? Where do you live? Is your mother going to deliver it to you?

Hengnan hung his head, his pale face devoid of expression, which instead revealed a kind of stubbornness, resembling a gloomy child who could never be appeased.

Hengnan remained silent, watching Yu Baihe swiftly remove the small table.

When Hengnan asked Yu Baihe to wake up, the orange-red sunset poured into the room through the floor-to-ceiling window, illuminating the brand-new bed, while the light and shadow of the wooden lattice screen created a serene beauty. A wide portable small table was set up on the bed, with three dishes and a soup served in small bowls, presented exquisitely

He left the house with a blank expression, casually entered a room in the corridor, kicked the door open, threw Hengnan onto the bed, opened the quilt and covered her underneath it

Yu Baihe's head hung low, appearing even more dispirited in contrast to Sheng Junshu's nearly 1.85-meter height: "I searched everywhere in the house, including the upstairs, downstairs, and the storage room, but I couldn't find anything."

Yu Baihe sighed, lifted the lid of the pot, and stirred the boiling soup, with hot steam rising up.

Due to the heat, Sheng Jun Shu originally left his suit jacket open, when unexpectedly a pair of icy hands reached into the jacket and crumpled his shirt into a ball in their palms

At this moment, as everything quiets down, the sound of "thud thud thud thud" on the floor becomes increasingly clear, as if someone is playing marbles. Heng Nan's pupils suddenly constrict, her face turns pale, and she rushes into Sheng Junshu's embrace.

"You child..." she laughed awkwardly, "How can such an important document be sent by express delivery"

The bedsheet is wet

With a splash, a slender piece of button vine was tossed onto the edge of the bathtub, resembling a person who had just come ashore, dripping wet. A few drops of water splashed out from the bathtub, forming a line of winding characters on the marble floor

She cried so intensely, her sobs blending with those of the hanging orchid spirit, both sounding equally delicate and fragile. The spirit was so frightened that it dared not cry any longer, leaving only Hengnan's voice buzzing and whimpering in the air

"Madam ran out from here in the afternoon, looking as if she was frightened." Yu Baihe trembled as she wiped away her tears, "I noticed that Madam seems to be taking pills from a small bottle every morning and evening. Could it be that Madam has some..."

Unfortunately, she is a woman of unfortunate fate

Thus, her mindset collapsed

He hurriedly walked to the bathroom, and Yu Baihe followed him with small steps. After Hengnan dashed out of the bathroom, he had not yet had the chance to clean up; the floor was scattered with foam and water stains, faintly forming a trail of water leading towards the door

Sheng Junshu has returned to the company

Bang bang bang bang bang ... ... Hengnan tightly clutched his shirt

In the corner, the slender button vine twisted and curled like a caterpillar, inching its way forward, reaching the edge of the bed in Hengnan, constantly raising its head as if it were pitifully bowing in greeting

Turning back, the boss, with a cold expression, swiftly fastened his belt buckle and instructed: "Take good care of the lady, and try not to let her get out of bed before tonight. Dinner should also be brought to this room."

Sheng Junshu stiffly wiped with a tissue, looked at her for a while, felt that too much moisture had been lost, closed the laptop, picked up the glass cup filled with hot water from the bedside table, and poured a few sips into her by pinching her neck.

Sheng Junshu paused for a moment, unfastened his belt with one hand, adjusted his clothing, and casually pressed the bell at the head of the bed

This villa is most abundant in rooms

Only Sheng Junshu remained in the bathroom, and the warm scent of rose fragrance still lingered in the air. He walked in, spread his long legs apart, and slowly sat on the edge of the bathtub

It must be that you are tired to feel so drowsy

Sheng Junshu turned back and said: "It's nothing, you may go about your business."

The fingers beside her moved stiffly, curling up, and awkwardly brushed against her warm cheek a couple of times

Yu Baihe heard the service bell, hurried upstairs, and saw the lady curled up in the quilt, her clothes in disarray, with red corners of her eyes, clearly having cried, resembling a tattered doll that had lost its spirit

Sheng Junshu was called back to the villa for the first time during working hours, standing in the sunlit living room listening to Yu Baihe's lamentations.

Sheng Junshu, having grown up this much, had never been touched like this by anyone. Her entire body tensed up as she grasped Hengnan by the collar at the back of her neck, instinctively wanting to throw her out.

The one before me is, after all, merely a junior sister who resembles a startled bird, an ordinary person.

Hengnan held the cup, and his eyes seemed to have come alive. The corners of his eyes and the tip of his nose were flushed, as if a snow sculpture had been vividly painted. Upon hearing the sound, he glanced over.

Sheng Junshu carefully wiped the water from his fingertips with a tissue: "You've only been a spirit for a few years, and you dare to act recklessly in my home."

Bitten

This soup is more delicious than what she usually drinks, and the crispy pigeon is also tasty. She listened to the incomprehensible words in a daze, and under the affectionate gaze of Yu Baihe, she slowly finished everything.

Sheng Junshu heard the sound of someone sniffing and couldn't help but glance at her: "... ... Please don't cry just yet."

I never expected the boss to be this kind of person

Under the control of the central air conditioning, the room in the midsummer is cool and comfortable

Hengnan

... ...

Master Yao Shan, from childhood to adulthood, is unafraid of the glint of swords and blades, yet he is uniquely fearful of the tears of women

I apologize, I was just joking with her

She was even afraid that Hengnan might jump off the building, and she rushed to the balcony of the lady's room to take a look down, but there was no one.

How can young people have so much good sleep?

The room features a private balcony, allowing for ample light that is bright yet not harsh, casting its glow upon the spacious double bed, which is filled with the scent of pine, while the bedding is haphazardly rolled to one side

Agreeing to marry, agreeing to all the absurd conditions of a stranger, was merely a belief that from then on, under the protection of the scorching sun, one could lead a normal life. Little did I expect that on the very first day of my arrival, I would once again be entangled by vengeful spirits and monsters

Sheng Junshu bent down with a slight headache and said: "Hengnan, come out."

The girl, lying on the bed covered with a white lace nightgown, has been sobbing while gazing at the ceiling

The serious gaze of Yu Baihe lingered between the two individuals, and with a gulp, she nodded complexly, "Alright."

Yu Baihe was so frightened that she dared not make another sound

... ...

Hengnan clutched the corner of the quilt, gazing at the row of characters with a blank expression, seemingly unable to comprehend, lost in thought

... ...

However, Hengnan in his arms was trembling violently, and Sheng Junshu felt a pang of softness in his heart. He reluctantly loosened his grip and, against his will, touched her protruding spine: "... that is not a ghost, just a plant spirit. Bored during the long days, it played tricks on you, and I caught it to make amends for you."

In his arms, Hengnan was like a fish thrown onto a chopping board, desperately thrashing and struggling. Sheng Junshu tightened his grip on her frail frame to prevent her from falling, using one hand to secure her skirt while turning around to search for the bed in the room

With his elbow resting on the leg of his dress pants, he spread his fingers and twirled them, his gaze already infused with a coldness

Hengnan was enveloped in a rich scent of rose fragrance. In the midst of his busy schedule, Sheng Junshu glanced at her and noticed the girl's eyes glistening, her thick eyelashes dampened, tears continuously streaming down the corners of her eyes, soaking a large area of the pillowcase.

"You have delivered it." The response was cold and distant, tinged with a hint of hoarseness, conveying a sense of alienation and resistance

Sheng Junshu opened the window with one hand, grabbed the leaves, and dragged the withered grass inside. With a "plop," he tossed it into the bathtub, and a series of bubbles rose to the surface of the water, gurgling.

Hengnan remained silent for a long time, slowly straightening his back

Sheng Junshu looked around the bathroom and suddenly sighed

Hengnan lay curled up on her side, dully lifting her eyelids and twirling the delicate button vine on her wrist. This person must have mistaken her for someone else. Alternatively, they might both be mentally troubled in the same way. Unfortunately, the drowsiness that surged over her could not support any further contemplation, and she closed her eyes once more

Before she could finish speaking, Sheng Junshu grasped its neck and lifted it up, walking out of the bathroom and up to the second floor. The buzzing and whimpering cries followed him all the way, leaving a long trail of water stains.

You see it bowing to you

When he said "Alright, goodbye," the Button Vine happened to crawl closer for the sixth time, crying softly. Hengnan paused for a moment, bent down, picked up the Button Vine, and tied it around his wrist

4 PM

Senior brother

The warm tears from Hengnan fell drop by drop onto the back of his hand
