Chapter 352 - 198: A Small Plan! She Is Just My Sister!_6
Could it be in my own room? The thought crossed Yuchi’s mind, but he didn’t take it seriously. What would he be doing in his room at a time like this? Going out to buy New Year’s goods is understandable as a gift to oneself, but running to his own room? How would that hand out benefits?
Let’s go and see.
Yuchi trudged a dozen steps in the snow and simply pushed open his own door to check. What he found was... his bed covered with a thick quilt, the kind used on joyous occasions, bright red with mandarin ducks and auspicious clouds.
Then, looking at Qingzhu, the girl had her head sticking out, tilting it quietly in his direction, her eyes full of grievance and a bit of fear.
"Oh, my god!"
"Is this really some sort of benefit?!"
"What’s Qingzhu up to?"
Yuchi entered in shock, quickly closing the door behind him. If someone saw this, he’d be chilled for life.
"Brother Yuchi, I’m sorry, I’ve been making clothes for so long, but I’ve still failed. I’m too foolish. You can punish me however you want, I’m ready."
Sleek, glossy black hair, a white, cute face, with a touch of sorrow.
Are you trying to kill me here, Yuchi gave a bitter smile:
"It’s alright, just get dressed properly. There’s no need for this. I won’t blame you; as long as you have something you love doing, that’s enough."
Is making clothes easy?
If it’s just simple sewing, it’s not particularly hard, but you have to start from selecting various fabrics, cutting them, and in three months you might not even finish. Not to mention, Qingzhu wasn’t originally from Clothing Town; she doesn’t understand garment-making. Thinking if Wei Yuan could do it, she could too—that’s just not plausible.
"No!"
"Brother Yuchi, you must punish me today, or I can’t get over this. Otherwise, I’ll always feel like I can’t do anything right. At least give me one chance to make you genuinely smile!"
"Or... give me another chance."
Saying this, the girl got up, the smooth red satin slipping from her neck, revealing her delicate, soft shoulders...
A sense of danger flashed on Yuchi’s forehead, and he immediately turned his head, not daring to look.
"Oh ancestors, you really want the heavens to strike me dead."
Qingzhu was already sitting on the bed, curiously peeking at Yuchi’s back. It was hard to understand why her brother was so afraid of such things. Aren’t these matters between consenting individuals? If you fear such things, could he have sprung from a stone?
Strange.
Feeling puzzled, she left the bed, her slender feet stepping on the cold stone flooring, making her tremble slightly, her silky hair swaying, her straight, tender legs moving this way and that. Her face was a picture of confusion, as she slowly moved to stand behind Yuchi.
"Qingzhu..."
"Mm."
Then.
She leaned in, hugging the boy tightly from behind, her cheek buried in the back of Yuchi’s black brocade clothes, her tender hands wrapping around him from the back, now reaching to the front, beginning to maneuver.
Yuchi could clearly feel the warm heat from behind, silently praying: Oh heavens, bless me, hope nothing happens to me.
But seeing what Qingzhu was doing, he suddenly felt much more relaxed.
Why didn’t you say so earlier.
If you had, I wouldn’t have been so afraid.
Qingzhu showed a hint of surprise: "Brother Yuchi, you’ve put on weight!"
Yuchi: "..."
Then: "Brother Yuchi, you can do this, relax, relax. I know what to do, you just need to relax and let me handle everything. Today is a good day, I’ve been in Xufu Town for a while now and have slowly changed. Now I just want to repay you."
"It’s not just for saving my life, but with a girl’s gratitude, so please, don’t be nervous. Just let your arms down naturally, no matter what I do next, just stand there, I’ll handle it. It won’t take long."
Yuchi: "..."
Yuchi looked at the pitiful Qingzhu, opening his arms with a helpless smile: "Is this alright?"
"Yes!" Qingzhu nodded eagerly.
Then she took out a measuring tape to remeasure Yuchi. She suspected Yuchi hadn’t measured the clothes correctly before, leading to her failure at making them, so she needed to remeasure.
And Yuchi, being honest, thought: "She’s not even barefaced, just wearing a long robe, white as snow, black hair resting on it, the whole person resembling a little lotus on the snow. In winter, who knows if such clothes are warm."
He also breathed a sigh of relief, the girl’s earlier words had been misleading, but thankfully she just brought a tape measure to help measure the clothes. Such things are normal; surely measuring clothes is allowed. Otherwise, tailoring shops couldn’t operate.
"Good thing I didn’t misunderstand. If others knew about this, their faces might not even suppress a snicker. Misunderstanding would be their problem, not mine."
Outside the door.
Xun Xian walked up briskly, holding a roasted leg of lamb: "Yuchi, Wei Yuan wants you to come over."
Yuchi immediately looked at the door.
And looked at Qingzhu, who was squatting in front of him, diligently assisting.
He panicked, thinking their separation for a bit, with Xun Xian often barging in if she needed something during the day, was risky. She was used to it.
This...
This is a disaster!
Next.
The door opened.
Xun Xian cheerfully said: "Hurry, it’s my first New Year in Xufu Town and there’ll be something to eat tonight."
Looking into the room, oh, Qingzhu was there too. Then... what kind of pose is this!
Yuchi was holding Qingzhu’s shoulders, and this skeletal beauty was squatting awkwardly in front of him.
Xun Xian: "?"
"..."
Yuchi turned to look at her, his face red: "She’s just my sister, and she said purple is very tasteful..."
Then...
"Oh... my god!" Xun Xian’s face also turned red, "You beast!"
"In broad daylight!"
"Oh, my god!"
"Spare me, hero!"
"I just wanted her to stand up; she was only helping me measure my leg length!" came Yuchi’s distressed cry from the room.
"She’s only my sister!!"
"This is no benefit, Qingzhu, you’ve got me ’tied’ here."
A mournful song echoed.
And the little beauty Qingzhu, holding a measuring tape in her mouth, stood innocently next to them, smiling sweetly at Yuchi being playfully battered by Xun Xian. Delighted, she thought: Mother, your taught trick works, Brother Yuchi... he really wanted to devour me just now.
So adept at teasing.
