Chapter One Little Girl

  The sky is dark, the vast city is like a reluctant giant beast, struggling to emit overflowing light into the sky. As the beast is gradually swallowed by darkness, only scattered lights are left.

  People returning home late at night enter the residential area, stepping on the lit corridor, knocking open the rusty anti-theft door. There are loud TV sounds, children shouting "Dad is back!", and the sound of a wife wiping her wet hair after bathing, wearing slippers to come and open the door.

  Night falls, and the warmth of home is diffused in the twinkling lights.

  In a small two-bedroom apartment, the growing brother and sister are tightly hugging each other. In the meaning of home, husband and wife are not the only main components.

  Li Luoyu patted his sister's back, but in his heart, he was thinking, "Can the Longevity Fruit be eaten by my sister?" But if she eats it, will she suddenly grow a few centimeters taller like me and become strong and muscular, with all her feminine curves turning into muscles? Although living forever is more important, if his sister were to turn into a tomboy, he definitely wouldn't be able to accept it.

  Moreover, it's also hard to explain to her that An Nanxiu wouldn't be willing for another person to know she came from Tianyun Divine Realm.

  If a person lives forever, watching his sister grow old would be more painful and unbearable than his own impending death. How could he give it to her? He still had to ask An Nan Xiu about it, but he had to be careful with the approach. An Nan Xiu didn't know that Li Luoyu asked her for the Longevity Fruit in order to give it to his sister, and judging from An Nan Xiu's attitude towards his sister, he didn't want her to find out.

  "Brother, what are you thinking about?" Li Banxuan felt that Li Luyu was distracted and asked softly.

  "Nothing... um, you sleep here tonight, I'll sleep on the sofa." Li Luyu put aside the matter of Changshengguo for the time being, "Are you still reading books tonight?"

  "Never mind." Li Banyu let go of Li Luyu, and her fingers wiped the corners of her eyes. Her long eyelashes were stained with wet tears.

  "Go take a bath and go to bed early." Li Luyu got up to get her the clothes and towels for bathing, but found that the set she had prepared was used by An Nanxiu.

  Li Banzhuang pulled him over and said, "Open your mouth."

  Li didn't understand, so he just opened his mouth widely.

  Li Banzhuang put the finger that had just wiped away her tears into Li Luyu's mouth, and the tip of her finger rubbed against his tongue for a moment, feeling a bit itchy, and giggled as she pulled it out.

  "What's wrong?" Li Luyu didn't know what she meant.

  "What flavor?" Li Banzhen restrained her smile.

  "Both salty and bitter, what's on your fingertips?"

  "These are my tears, so you'll remember and know not to make Liz cry again." Li Banzhuang pulled his hand, looking at him seriously: "Understand?"

  "Alright, just this once, I bought the gift to make you happy, not to make you cry." His sister was still resentful about him spending so much money on a phone, and Li Luyu felt a twinge of guilt in his heart. He wished that his sister could be like An Zhi Shui, who didn't care about money at all, and could spend it as she pleased.

  Men often do not understand the subtleties of showing concern and care for their families. Their simplest way to express care is usually by providing more money for them to spend. For this purpose, they have paid a lot of unknown hardships, but what they get in return is often complaints from their families, accusing them of being irresponsible and lacking care for the family.

  Men are always willing to pay out for the people they value, without complaint or regret.

  It's hard to say who should understand whom more, some people think it shouldn't be the case, while others feel they haven't done enough, just like Li Banxuan and Li Luyu.

  Li Banzhen put her phone in the middle of her backpack, even if she encountered a pickpocket who usually cut open the bottom, it would be hard for them to steal her phone. Then she chased Li Luyu away and wouldn't let him prepare anything for her, so she changed clothes and got ready to take a bath.

  After a while, the three of them had all finished their baths and were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

  Ann showed up today, particularly beautiful, with long hair hanging down on both sides of her cheeks, and a small orchid hair clip attached to it. More of her long hair hung down her back, swaying in the night breeze blowing in from the balcony.

  The little girl wore a silver suspender nightgown, wrapping her slender figure, the hem of the nightgown had elegant black lace edges, adding a tempting charm to her thin legs. She was used to lifting up her skirt, so as not to wrinkle it, and because of this, when she restlessly changed positions, she would always lift up her skirt, revealing her not-so-plump but still tender and delicate skin at the top of her thighs, as well as a glimpse of her small buttocks peeking out from under the black lace-trimmed panties.

  Ann was watching an old version of "My Fair Princess", a TV series that uses Xiaoyanzi's misuse of idioms as comedic points. Apparently, it has exceeded Ann's current level of understanding. She doesn't think it's funny and never laughs, but she insists on watching and asks Li about the meanings of those idioms.

  An Nanxiu watched TV like this, letting Li Luyu and Li Banyan watch a TV series that didn't interest them at all, and even explaining it to her.

  Taking advantage of An Nan Xiu not having any issues at the moment, Li Ban Xiang quietly said to Li Luoyu's ear: "Brother, An Nan Xiu is really pretty, I dare guarantee that in two or three years, she will become a great beauty that we have never seen before, more beautiful than anyone else."

  "Really?" Li Luyu expressed his doubt, then said in a lower voice: "I've always thought it was Li Zicai."

  Li Banzhuan smiled sweetly, feeling extremely happy in her heart. She shifted her body comfortably and pulled open her brother's strong arm to put it on her shoulder, then squeezed into the crook of his arm and leaned against him.

  Li Rouyu stretched her body slightly unnaturally, making the contact between them a bit looser, so that her exceptionally full chest wouldn't press against his.

  Li Banxun wore Li Luyu's long T-shirt as pajamas, revealing two slender and beautiful legs that were already a standard shape for modeling in magazines and advertisements. Due to the school's strict and conservative tradition, high school students would never wear colored stockings above their knees. However, without any additional embellishments, Li Banxun's legs still attracted more attention from passersby than her chest or face.

  Li Luoyu felt that she wasn't wearing underwear, although he thought his sister was already a big girl and should be more careful, but he didn't deliberately say anything. After all, they were both grown up and couldn't be treated like little girls anymore, needing to be taught everything by hand, or educated on every little thing, as if he was the class monitor of elementary school students.

  Thinking of An Zhishui, Li Luyu couldn't help but smile.

  "Annan Xiu is like a particularly lovely doll, I really want to hold her in my arms and give her a few tight kisses, unfortunately, she definitely won't let me." Li Banzhuang was secretly watching Annan Xiu, compared to the somewhat dull clothes she wore this afternoon, now Annan Xiu used that small but absolutely exquisite and expensive hairpin to adorn herself with a luxurious elegance of the palace style, full of princess flavor.

  "Don't you dare do that, or else you'll die a terrible death." Li Rouyu said with a serious tone, warning Li Zigu to be careful when crossing the road and pay attention to the traffic lights.

  Li Ruyu could withstand Annan's lightning by himself, but he was also very clear about the power of the lightning that Annan casually released. Li Zi was absolutely not more solid and explosion-proof than a refrigerator.

  Li Banli suddenly tensed up, pulling away Li Luyu's hand that was draped over her shoulder, and sat up straight. Her clear and innocent eyes were filled with suspicion, as if she had instantly transformed into a wife who was extremely sensitive and vigilant towards her husband after marriage.

  "What's wrong?" Girls are all like this, staring at you and then letting you guess why they're doing so.

  "Have you tried it?" Li Banzhuang's eyes widened.

  Li Luyu said he was heartbroken, his sister suspected that he was a pervert and would molest a 14-year-old girl, and then got beaten up badly by the 14-year-old girl. This is not much different from Yang Jingxin's behavior, it's too damaging to his image.

  "I was wrong, I shouldn't have doubted my brother. How about I give you a kiss as compensation?" Seeing Li Luyu looking heartbroken, Li Banyu chuckled and thought to herself that her brother wouldn't do such a thing, An Nanxiu was too young, compared to him, Li Zi was more charming anyway.

  "No more, not even a bit of sincerity. When we were young, I helped you with your homework and then you would kiss me, and I had to work hard for a long time." Li Zi was particularly good at acting cute in front of her brother since she was little, and Li Luoyu was someone who couldn't resist softness but could resist hardness, so he often fell into her trap. Many times when he helped Li Zi with her homework, she would be eating lollipops beside him, and after a while, she would kiss Li Luoyu, making his cheeks all sticky.

  "It's been a long time since we've kissed, right?" Li Banzhuang sat up a bit, making it easier for herself to put her arms around Li Luyu's neck, batting her eyelashes, with some blush on her cheeks. "It's different now."

  Li Banxuan's posture, the whole person was pressed into his arms, trembling and tender, the plump girl was only separated by two layers of clothes, pressing against Li Luyu, making him a little breathless.

  "You also know that things are different now." Li Luyu stretched out his thumb and forcefully flicked her forehead, he knew that his sister was not a well-behaved girl, but rather a mischievous and cunning one, due to the influence of their family environment, she had a bit of a rebellious streak in her bones, and he couldn't follow her in her foolishness.

  "You're killing me, you rascal!" Li Banzhuang let go of Li Luyu and raised her small fist to punch Li Luyu's chest.

  "Go ahead and watch TV, Annan Shou has an opinion about us watching TV." Li Luyou said in a low voice.

  "I'm not looking anymore, I'm going to sleep." Li Banzhen stretched and blinked her eyelashes, closing her eyes, looking a bit dazed.

  Li Banzhuang stood up, walked to An Nanxiu's side, bowed her head and looked at the delicate little girl, finally restrained her impulse, went to wash her face, brush her teeth and sleep.

  Xia Hua is relatively new to the scene, but not that new anymore, maybe 50% or 60%... anyway, she's already an experienced author, so don't worry about it. The blood relationship between Li Zi and Li Luoyu is completely unimportant and not worth paying attention to.

  The key point is, I will write a great supporting male character and then describe him and Li Zi being affectionate? How stupid.

  Yes, Xia Hua's book is about love and warmth, which are always the main themes. As for harem and other things, they are just trivial matters.
