"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't dare," Yi Jinbai suddenly stopped and proudly raised his head.
"Oh, so you've learned to lie to me already? You wicked little brat..." Jiang Shuiyun never expected that she would be tricked by someone. This is getting more and more interesting.
"You're allowed to lie to me, but I'm not allowed to lie to you? What kind of logic is that, you heartless little brat? Where's my room?" Yi Jinbai turned around, poked Jiang Shuiyun, and showed no sign of backing down.
"Alright!" Jiang Shuiyun replied with a smile. "Princess, come with me. The room prepared for you is here."
"No sarcastic remarks allowed." Yi Jinbai was thin-skinned after all, and his face turned a little red after Jiang Shuiyun said that, but he still kept a straight face.
"What kind of logic is it to set rules for me in my own home?" Jiang Shuiyun led the way up the stairs.
"I wasn't like this before. You become like those you associate with." Yi Jinbai muttered the first half of his sentence, but then seemed to have found a reasonable explanation for the second half, and hummed it out confidently.
Jiang Shuiyun stopped in front of a door. "Fine, I'm the one who corrupted you. Go in and see if you're satisfied?"
Jiang Shuiyun's tone softened, making Yi Jinbai feel a little embarrassed. "Thank you."
Pushing open the door, the room inside was unoccupied. It must have been a guest room prepared by Jiang Shuiyun, so there was nothing extra. There was only a simple white bed, and apart from the basic furniture, there was nothing else.
Having a place to stay is already a blessing, let alone this place, which is already quite nice. Yi Jinbai thanked Jiang Shuiyun again.
"Get some rest. I'm upstairs. Feel free to contact me if you need anything. Remember, my name is Jiang Shuiyun."
After Jiang Shuiyun finished explaining to Yi Jinbai, she saw Yi Jinbai nodding obediently and helped her close the room door.
Standing at the door, Jiang Shuiyun couldn't help but smile. What an amazing thing! A little sister named Yi fell from the sky and she was picked up by him, and now she's even staying at his house. Hmm, hopefully he won't wake up tomorrow morning and find out that he was drunk and it was all a dream.
Fortunately, no. Jiang Shuiyun had indeed drunk a bit too much the night before and woke up a little late the next day. She only woke up groggily when she heard the knocking. When she opened the door, she saw Yi Jinbai standing helplessly at her door.
This poor little alien probably just arrived on a new planet and didn't seem to sleep well all night; the dark circles under his eyes were particularly noticeable on his pale face.
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Shuiyun was still half asleep and yawned with a thick nasal tone.
Yi Jinbai blushed slightly and looked away from Jiang Shuiyun. "You should get dressed first."
"Just two buttons," Jiang Shuiyun glanced down and buttoned up her pajamas. "Is there anything you need?"
"I don't know how to use your bathroom..."
Yi Jinbai was still wearing Jiang Shuiyun's clothes from last night. She had noticed the problem last night, but she didn't know if Jiang Shuiyun was already asleep, so she didn't disturb her. She didn't get a good night's rest. This morning, seeing that the housekeeper had come, she knew that Jiang Shuiyun usually got up by this time, so she knocked on the door.
"I'll go run you some water," Jiang Shuiyun said resignedly as she walked out. But she stopped abruptly. "Wait a minute. I'll find you some clothes. After you've washed up and changed, we'll go out together after you've eaten."
Yi Jinbai nodded, watching Jiang Shuiyun open the walk-in closet next to her room. She spent a long time choosing from the clothes, and finally picked out a white tracksuit and undershirt, which fit her better than the dresses.
"They are all brand new and have never been worn."
Jiang Shuiyun came out with the clothes in her hand. "If there's anything in your room that needs changing, just let me know and I'll have someone tidy it up."
"Thank you." Yi Jinbai took the clothes and bowed his head to express his gratitude.
"These are the two words I hear most often. Besides these two words, do you know any other words? Like... offering yourself in marriage or something?"
Jiang Shuiyun had also woken up by now, and seeing Yi Jinbai's serious expression, she couldn't help but tease her.
Yi Jinbai then realized that Jiang Shuiyun was an Alpha, and she was now living in the home of a strange Alpha without any precautions, and was even wearing the other person's clothes!
Yi Jinbai was so frightened that he stopped in his tracks and wouldn't move.
Jiang Shuiyun turned around and looked at Yi Jinbai, who was trembling like a quail and only belatedly realized he was scared. She really wanted to facepalm. "I said you're a coward, but you only realized you were scared now. I said you're brave, but you're scared like this. Don't worry, I'm not interested in an eighteen-year-old kid."
How old are you?
Yi Jinbai clutched his clothes and asked Jiang Shuiyun hesitantly.
"Anyway, I'm older than you." Twenty-one-year-old Jiang Shuiyun felt that saying it aloud wasn't very intimidating, so she simply didn't say anything, went down the stairs, and said, "Follow me."
Jiang Shuiyun filled the tub with water for Yi Jinbai, showed her how to use everything, and then left. Yi Jinbai soaked in the comfortable bathtub, thinking about what Jiang Shuiyun had just said, and angrily splashed water. The girl's thoughts were like needles at the bottom of the sea, impossible to fathom.
After washing up and changing his clothes, Yi Jinbai came downstairs and saw Jiang Shuiyun sitting in the restaurant, chatting with someone else. To be precise, the other person was tugging at Jiang Shuiyun's sleeve and acting coquettishly.
"Just say yes, just say yes, or I'm not leaving..."
Jiang Shuiyun ruthlessly pulled back her sleeve, "Gao Zhouzhou, you're daydreaming."
"We've been childhood sweethearts for so many years! How could you be so heartless!" Gao Zhouzhou exaggeratedly acted as if she was trembling with anger, pointing accusingly at Jiang Shuiyun. Just as she was about to put on another act, she caught sight of Yi Jinbai, who had just come down the stairs. Her words immediately took a turn, "Eh?! Jiang Shuiyun, you're keeping a mistress!"
"Pfft! Cough cough cough!" Jiang Shuiyun almost choked to death by Gao Zhouzhou's words. When she turned around, she saw Yi Jinbai behind her. She picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth and slapped the terrified Gao Zhouzhou aside. "If you didn't study Chinese well, I suggest you go back to school and start over. This is my friend. If you scare him, I'll sacrifice you."
“Friends?” Gao Zhouzhou looked at Jiang Shuiyun suspiciously. “You’re such a fussy person, would ordinary friends stay at your house? Last time I said I’d stay for two days you kicked me out to a hotel. You’re so heartless. I don’t believe this is an ordinary friend of yours.”
"You were at my parents' house, and you still insisted on sharing a room with me. Don't distort the truth!" Jiang Shuiyun immediately refuted the rumors on the spot. "You should leave now. Go find Shen Yunyi about this. If Shen Yunyi agrees, I will agree. If he doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do. If you don't leave now, I'll change my mind."
"You know perfectly well that Shen Yunyi has a grudge against me!" Gao Zhouzhou almost jumped up.
"one……"
Jiang Shuiyun began counting.
"Let's go, let's go, let's go right now!"
Gao Zhouzhou quickly grabbed her bag and disappeared. As she reached the front door, she couldn't help but glance back at Yi Jinbai, saying, "Little sister, let's get to know each other later!"
"roll!"
Jiang Shuiyun knew that Gao Zhouzhou wouldn't say anything nice. The little alien was already terrified, and Gao Zhouzhou added fuel to the fire. She should have known better than to let her in.
After Gao Zhouzhou disappeared, Yi Jinbai walked up to Jiang Shuiyun and asked, "Who is she?"
“Gao Zhouzhou is a friend of mine. She’s a bit neurotic. Just ignore her.”
Jiang Shuiyun pushed Yi Jinbai's breakfast towards her, "I'm used to eating something light in the morning, so Auntie prepared something light too. See if it suits your taste."
"Oh," Yi Jinbai said, having used a spoon, as he took a sip of the porridge, finding it quite delicious. "It's especially tasty. Did she come to ask you for help?"
"Yes, she asked me to help her boyfriend. Her taste in men is like rummaging through a trash can. She won't listen to any advice. She's so love-struck, she deserves to suffer some heartache. Adding some obstacles to her smooth life is what she deserves. Just ignore her."
Jiang Shuiyun was eating breakfast while holding her phone in her other hand, looking at today's news, and also had to explain to Yi Jinbai.
Yi Jinbai looked at Jiang Shuiyun's long, drooping eyelashes and asked, "So you've also suffered the pain of love?"
"Whoever wants to eat that stuff can eat it. I'm too busy to be interested in it," Jiang Shuiyun replied without looking up from her phone.
"Oh, you've never had a boyfriend or girlfriend?"
Yi Jinbai couldn't help but ask again, "That shouldn't be the case. Although Jiang Shuiyun's personality is a bit annoying and she's always teasing people, she's so beautiful, intelligent, and has good character. She herself said she's not young anymore, so how could she have never been in a relationship?"
"Can't eating shut you up?" Jiang Shuiyun put down her phone and looked at the gossipy Yi Jinbai.
Yi Jinbai lowered his head and ate his food, and couldn't help but think that this person deserved to be single.
After dinner, Jiang Shuiyun drove Yi Jinbai out.
"I've really become someone who serves you."
Jiang Shuiyun looked at Yi Jinbai, who was standing blankly next to the driver's seat, and could only push him to the passenger side, open the door, shove him in, and close the door.
Looking at Jiang Shuiyun who had sat down, Yi Jinbai felt a little embarrassed. "I thought it was automatic."
Jiang Shuiyun was speechless for a moment. Indeed, she couldn't blame others; it was just that their level of technological so low.
Jiang Shuiyun glanced at Yi Jinbai, who was sitting properly in the passenger seat, leaned over, and saw her quickly back away. She then reached out and pulled Yi Jinbai's seatbelt over to fasten it for her. "This thing is called a seatbelt. It's for saving your life. Remember to fasten it yourself next time."
"oh."
Yi Jinbai's ears turned red. She watched as Jiang Shuiyun sat back down and fastened her seatbelt, only then realizing that she had misunderstood.
Upon arriving at the mall, Jiang Shuiyun parked the car, unbuckled Yi Jinbai's seatbelt, then went to the other side to open the car door for Yi Jinbai and led him out. "Let's go."
This was Yi Jinbai's first time visiting such a shopping mall, and he couldn't help but feel a bit curious. He looked left and right, and there were always new things to see that he couldn't get enough of. It was different from the fictional holographic street.
What is that?
Yi Jinbai's eyes lit up when he saw the teddy bear standing at the doorway waving hello.
The staff member dressed as a teddy bear also saw Yi Jinbai, greeted her in a cute and endearing manner, and even gave her a small bear balloon as a gentlemanly gesture.
"So cute! Can we buy it and take it home?" Yi Jinbai held the balloon and looked at Jiang Shuiyun expectantly.
“No, there’s a living person inside. Human trafficking is illegal.” After Jiang Shuiyun finished speaking, Yi Jinbai’s eyes widened in surprise. She had thought it was a robotic bear. No wonder it was much cuter than the robotic bear in her world.
Yi Jinbai said goodbye to the teddy bear with some reluctance. Jiang Shuiyun watched and could only sigh that it was indeed something only little girls would like. "Okay, I can buy you an outfit like this."
"Thanks!"
Yi Jinbai made no attempt to hide her joy, but Jiang Shuiyun soon regretted it, because she was walking around with a bear.
Watching Yi Jinbai eagerly slip into the teddy bear and sway back and forth, having already played for half an hour, Jiang Shuiyun, biting the straw of her milk tea, waved another cup in front of Yi Jinbai's eyes, "If you don't come out, I'll drink this cup too."
"What is this?" Yi Jinbai looked over curiously at the pretty drink. "Does it look like yesterday's juice?"
“This is called milk tea, and it tastes even better,” Jiang Shuiyun coaxed patiently.
Looking at the beautiful color of the milk tea, Yi Jinbai couldn't help but be tempted. After hesitating for a while, he took off the mascot costume and broke out in a sweat.
Jiang Shuiyun handed the milk tea to Yi Jinbai and wiped the sweat from Yi Jinbai's head with a tissue. "In the middle of summer, you wouldn't even want to work if someone offered you money, but you seem to be having a lot of fun."
Yi Jinbai looked at Jiang Shuiyun with bright eyes, his smile looking somewhat dim-witted.
They originally came out to buy clothes, but in the end, they ended up eating and shopping all the way. They ate, drank, and had fun, but didn't buy a single piece of clothing. Jiang Shuiyun ended up with a lot more things in her hands, looking rather helplessly at Yi Jinbai, who was still full of energy.
Having finally gotten into the swing of things, Jiang Shuiyun didn't want to spoil the fun. She waited until the two of them brought their spoils home before putting them down and looking at Yi Jinbai. "Guess what we went out to buy?"
Yi Jinbai then seemed to wake up from a dream, looking at the huge pile of things around him, but the clothes and daily necessities he was supposed to buy today were nowhere to be found.
"Feel sorry."
Knowing that he was the one who caused the delay, Yi Jinbai apologized quietly.
What else could Jiang Shuiyun do? Meeting Yi Jinbai's knowing, obedient, and soft eyes, she could only ignore it and say, "Fine, I'll have the clothes delivered to your door. You can choose whatever you like."
"Thank you, you're so kind."
Yi Jinbai beamed and pushed a box of ice cream next to Jiang Shuiyun, saying, "This is especially delicious."
This clumsy attempt at goodwill just happened to suit Jiang Shuiyun's taste perfectly. Her initial helplessness vanished. Oh well, the little alien had never seen anything like this before, so it was understandable.
After the two finished eating, people kept bringing clothes to their door. All kinds of the latest styles were available there, and there was even a designer who would accompany them, fully supporting Yi Jinbai's needs for custom-made clothes.
Custom-made items take too much time, so Jiang Shuiyun doesn't really consider them and prefers to choose from the new styles.
Yi Jinbai was overwhelmed by the choices, but in the end, Jiang Shuiyun left most of the new styles and a few very classic and nice limited editions.
"Why don't you go wash up and change your clothes? Otherwise you'll feel uncomfortable."
Jiang Shuiyun leaned back on the sofa. She had overdone her exercise today, but seeing Yi Jinbai rolling around in the mud next to her, she couldn't help but remind him.
