I jumped down from the tree and looked up to see a very pretty girl examining me from head to toe with a probing gaze.
I was startled and took a deep breath, gripping the bamboo tube tightly. “Wow, miss, don’t you know that scaring people can be fatal?!”
The girl smiled, enchantingly but with hidden daggers. “Hehe, truly worthy of the woman my big brother fancies. How special. But, my future sister-in-law, what were you doing on the tree just now?”
Sister-in-law? Was she talking to me? So she’s Xiao Chengyue’s sister? What did she just see?! I tried to remain calm, but my heart was racing. “I wasn’t doing anything, just appreciating the scenery. It’s a habit, is that not allowed?”
Xiao Chengyue’s sister laughed, “How dare I say no? It’s just that my sister-in-law’s habit is a bit special.”
Looking at her laughter, I wanted to slap her but there was no brick, and I couldn’t afford one. Why do these siblings always look so smiley?
She caught my attention with, “Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Xiao Wan Yue, sister of Xiao Chengyue, the Demon Cult Leader. Sister-in-law, you’re… called Ling Xiao Han, right?” I nodded, thinking that if I weren’t dependent on them, I wouldn’t even bother to respond. “Could you stop calling me sister-in-law?”
I’m not your brother’s wife. It’s just his one-sided wishful thinking.”
Xiao Wan Yue didn’t mind and continued smiling, “Yes, sister-in-law.” Damn, she called me that again! “Truly, as the brother is, so is the sister. You two are just too alike,” I muttered almost silently.
Xiao Wan Yue’s hearing was no joke, and she heard that too, “Naturally, we’re siblings, of course we’re alike.”
“Wan’er, what are you doing here?” Xiao Chen Yue’s voice came, and Xiao Wan Yue met his gaze, “Coming to see my future sister-in-law.” Damn, sister-in-law again! “I’m not your sister-in-law!” I finally couldn’t hold back. Xiao Wan Yue gave me a gentle smile, “Not now, but you will be in the future.” Then she left.
