Beware the Appearing Cute Wife!-Chapter 1130 - 1260: So Stingy

"Can’t sleep?"

Chu Xici was a bit helpless, with a bright sparkle in his dark eyes.

Yege quickly nodded, pouting her little lips, looking both grieved and innocent.

After staring at Yege for a few seconds, Chu Xici finally... relented.

Seeing Yege’s somewhat aggrieved and pitiful look, how could he bear to chase her away?

After all...

His feelings towards her had long changed.

It’s just that, the events of that night, she genuinely... had forgotten.

So, he didn’t bring it up again...

"Tell me, why can’t you sleep, hmm? What exactly is on your little mind?"

Yege remembered frequently running to his room in the middle of the night when she was little. Back then, every time she sneaked into Chu Xici’s bed when he wasn’t watching, she’d secretly giggle to herself for a while.

After all, she had always liked her brother since she was a child, right?

Yege thought for a moment. Since she was at home and there were no outsiders, she didn’t feel embarrassed. So she simply took off her shoes and slid right into Chu Xici’s bed.

Chu Xici felt a headache coming on.

"That’s my blanket!"

"Yep, I know!"

Yege replied confidently.

Chu Xici’s face instantly darkened. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

What else could he do?

He could only let her be!

For a moment, Yege felt a pang of sadness. Sometimes growing up wasn’t as happy as being a child.

At least when she was little, she could sneak into Chu Xici’s bed whenever she wanted, and it didn’t seem like a big deal. Back then, it was all about happiness.

But as she grew up, those childhood privileges were gone!

Thinking of this, Yege sighed.

"I really miss being a kid! Sneaking into your bed with confidence!"

Chu Xici: "..."

Aren’t you sneaking in confidently now?

What else could he say? He couldn’t just pick her up like a chick and throw her out of the bed, could he?

Yege looked at Chu Xici with a sweet smile: "Can I sleep here tonight?"

Chu Xici: "No way!"

He had to refuse.

Instantly, Yege’s little face fell, and she pouted.

"So stingy!"

Chu Xici’s face turned stern, and even his eyes became obscure and unreadable.

Is this a matter of being stingy?

It’s a matter of principle!

"Yege, you’re not a child anymore!"

Now, he must remind her of this issue.

Yege glanced at him, "Have you noticed how contradictory you are? You used to always say I was a child, and now you’re saying I’m not a child! So in your heart, how do you actually define a child?"

Yege’s words left Chu Xici speechless.

This...

She was still a minor, so indeed a child, but to him, she was... no longer a child!

Because he could no longer see her just as a child!

Very contradictory, really contradictory!

Chu Xici suddenly felt a bit parched.

"Do you want some water?"

Yege shook her head.

"I don’t want any!"

Chu Xici sighed, turned, and poured himself a glass of water.

Yege clutched a pillow, watching Chu Xici.

"Aren’t you envious of Yufeng and Xiaoyu? I think they are so happy!"

Chu Xici smiled, "Well, they’re very happy... but I don’t envy them!"

His answer was different from what Yege had imagined.

Yege was somewhat surprised, "Why not?"

Chu Xici’s gaze fell on Yege’s face, deep and profound.

"Actually, everyone has their own happiness, and each has their own way of being happy. Some people’s happiness comes from receiving a cup of milk tea from their lover, some from a diamond ring, and for others, happiness might be a smile or a caring word from their loved one! And for some, their happiness... might lie in growing up with the person they like from childhood, gathering bits of joy along the way!

Many times, happiness isn’t related to wealth, fame, or status, but rather to the mental connection and understanding between each other. This type of happiness, like a flower blooming quietly, leaves its fragrance in each other’s hearts, transforming into eternity in life, and... everlasting."

Yege stared at Chu Xici, momentarily dumbfounded.

To be honest, she had never heard him say something so artistic before, like a piece of prose, like a stream gently flowing, nourishing the heart.

Yege couldn’t help but give a thumbs up, clicking her tongue in admiration: "Impressive! Did you score full marks on your essay in the college entrance exam?"

Chu Xici: "..."
