The Villain's Little Sister is Spoiled by the Male Lead-Chapter 164: Strolling in the Courtyard

When Chi Yu returned home, Chi Yong looked up and glanced at the time, "Finally back? How was it?"

Chi Yu didn't answer, only asking, "Where's Mother?"

Chi Yong: "Your mother is still busy. She may not be back until New Year's Eve dinner. It's the Lunar New Year soon, so of course she's busier."

Chi Yu: "Mmm."

Chi Yong: "You haven't told me how it went with the Song Family yet. When will you bring her home?"

Chi Yu: "I'll ask her later."

Chi Yong: "Mmm, let your mom know in advance so she can clear some time." If he can bring someone home, it seems there's no issue with the Song Family.

"Mmm."

Unlike the lively atmosphere at the Song Family, the Chi Family was relatively quiet. There were just the two of them, father and son. They didn't need to do any housekeeping or buy New Year's supplies - the maids and bodyguards had taken care of everything.

Chi Yu went into his room and took out the photos of him and Song Luokui, arranging them one by one. He felt he had returned too early and should have stayed longer.

Chi Yu thought about it and walked out of the house, strolling around the courtyard and occasionally greeting others there.

He walked all the way to the small store in the courtyard, recalling his previous encounter with her there. He took out his phone and messaged her, "Want some candy? I'll buy some for you." He also sent her a photo of the small store.

Upon seeing the message, Song Luokui pondered for a moment, quickly put on her clothes and wrapped a scarf around herself, and immediately ran out.

When she arrived at the small store, she saw Chi Yu standing there. Song Luokui smiled and ran towards him. Chi Yu opened his arms and hugged her. The two entered the small store, and Chi Yu directly bought her a whole bag of candies.

Song Luokui: "That's too much, I can't finish it all."

Chi Yu: "Then take it home and store it. You can eat it when guests come over."

"Mmm hmm."

The old shopkeeper occasionally looked at the two of them. Everyone said the young lady of the Song Family and the young master of the Chi Family were together. The shopkeeper had never seen them before, but today, she finally did. And the Chi Family's young master was so considerate - the atmosphere between them seemed great.

When she went home tonight, she would gossip about it with her family. Life in the courtyard was like that - people loved to gossip.

As they left the small store with the candies, they encountered some children in the courtyard. The children recognized Song Luokui and saw her with Chi Yu. "Sister Luokui, is this your boyfriend?"

Song Luokui squatted down and gave the child a handful of candies. "Yes. Here, these are candies Brother bought for you. But remember to brush your teeth after eating them, okay?"

"Okay~ Thank you, Sister Luokui and Brother."

"Go and play."

They encountered several more children, all of whom called her Sister Luokui. Chi Yu's candies for her were given to these children.

Chi Yu: "The children in the courtyard seem to like you a lot, but... it seems they don't really recognize me?"

Song Luokui said proudly, "I often stay in the courtyard, but you rarely come back here, right? Of course they don't recognize you if they've hardly seen you."

Whenever Chi Yu returned to the courtyard, it was usually at night, and he would leave again early in the morning when the children were still asleep, so they seldom saw him.

The two held hands and strolled around the courtyard. When they reached a certain spot, Song Luokui suddenly remembered something. "There was almost a kidnapping here in the courtyard when I was little. A trafficker tried to take me away."

Chi Yu also recalled it. "Yeah, I hit the trafficker with stones at the time."

Later, thinking back on it, he was truly grateful that he had been there and helped.

Song Luokui didn't know this and was surprised. She smiled and said, "So you've saved my life before."

Chi Yu gripped her hand tightly and drew her closer. "Yeah, so you'll have to repay me with your body."

Song Luokui nodded. "I'll have to repay you with my body." They both laughed after saying that.

The two continued strolling around the courtyard until it was time for dinner. Chi Yu sent Song Luokui to the Song Family's door before returning.

That evening, their little stroll was the hot gossip at every family's table.

"I saw them today - the Chi Family's young master was holding hands with the Song Family's young lady as they walked around the courtyard."

"How did they seem?"

"They seemed great. The Chi Family's young master was really considerate. The shopkeeper said they went to the small store, and the Chi Family's young master bought candies for the Song Family's young lady."

"Hey, the candies my kid got were from the Song Family's young lady. She called herself Sister Luokui and him Brother - it was those two."

"He's handsome, she's beautiful, their family backgrounds match. They're quite well-matched."

"I also heard the Chi Family's young master has already sent New Year's gifts to the Song Family today. The big day must be coming soon - I wonder if they'll invite us?"

"They probably will. The bride's family would definitely invite us. My family has a decent relationship with the Song Family."

"The groom's family would probably invite my family too since my kid follows the Chi Family's kid."

...

Leaving aside the courtyard gossip, the New Year soon arrived. On New Year's Eve, as the Song Family ate their dinner and watched the Spring Festival Gala, after finishing the meal, Zhou Yuan and others called to ask if they were going to let off fireworks and count down to the new year.

Song Luosheng immediately asked Song Luokui if she wanted to go. Song Luokui hesitated for a moment, then suddenly noticed the car outside and pointed, "That... Chi Yu will take me."

Song Luosheng: ...Damn, that's heartbreaking.

He delivered Song Luokui directly to Chi Yu's car, warning Chi Yu to protect her, before closing the car door and watching Chi Yu take her away.

Song Luosheng gazed at the departing car, suddenly feeling a sense of melancholy. It was cold outside, and his breath came out in white puffs. He kicked a pebble on the ground. His little sister had grown up and truly had another man in her life now.

At that moment, Zhou Yuan's call came again. "Big bro, you coming or not? Everyone's here."

Song Luosheng said, "Coming, wait for me."

"Got it!"

The family had no objections to the young people going out to have fun - after all, it's what young people liked to do. The parents, of course, preferred staying home and watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Chi Yu took Song Luokui to a place where they could set off fireworks. The car's trunk was loaded with many fireworks. There were also many other people setting them off. Later, the skyscrapers in the distance would have a countdown display.

At first, they played with those small handheld sparklers, with Song Luokui excitedly waving her sparkler and exclaiming like a child, while Chi Yu took pictures of her with his camera.

Occasionally, they would see others setting off super large and beautiful fireworks in the distance, and there was even a drone performance celebrating the festival.

Afterward, they started setting off those big fireworks, and each time Song Luokui would gasp in awe as the fireworks blossomed in the sky like scattered celestial maidens.

As time went on and more people gathered, the weather grew colder, so Song Luokui snuggled under Chi Yu's down jacket, with just her head poking out as they embraced and enjoyed the scenery.

When the final countdown began, everyone shouted together, "Ten, nine... three, two, one, Happy New Year!"

At the last second of the countdown, Chi Yu suddenly leaned down and kissed her, while other couples around them also shared kisses.

After the kiss, Chi Yu directed her gaze toward the drone performance, where the drones had rearranged themselves to form the shape of a heart pierced by an arrow, with words below: "Kuikui, I love you [Heart]"

On the other side, Song Luosheng and the others also saw it. Zhou Yuan said, "Kuikui? Could that be our little Sister Song? Brother, did Chi from the Chi Family arrange this?"
