Beautiful and charming, all-rounder, only wants 1v1

Weekend, Hongcheng Mansion.

She was the first to arrive.

The place is magnificent, and as I walk up the antique mahogany staircase, the glazed tiles at the corner reflect a dazzling array of colors in the afterglow of the setting sun, casting a rainbow-like shadow on the ground. In the heat of summer, I step over it, and my small leather shoes make a brisk clacking sound on the ground.

She found a good spot to watch the sunset, on the second floor. A few cushioned chairs sat deep in the corridor, above a rectangular window. The sun in the distance slowly sank below the horizon, and the sky, like a painting, was dyed orange. The light shone down, weaving a shimmering painting of the lake.

In the middle of summer, I knelt on a mat, supported my hands on the windowsill, took a photo, and sent it to my boyfriend to appreciate.

A few minutes ago, Jiang Peipei sent a few photos, which were the patterns of the costumes she had customized for Snow White in Midsummer.

A voice followed: "Do you like it? It's beautiful, right? Compliment me."

She cared more about it than the costume team. She designed the princess's dress when she was in trouble, the dress she wore in her daily life as a miner, the plain white dress she wore when she lay in the crystal coffin, and the gorgeous dress she wore when she returned to the palace.

Sheng Xiali felt that changing clothes would be very rushed. "It's so beautiful! You have such good taste. Do you want to take off two pants? I'm afraid I won't have enough time to change clothes."

"No, I want to create a beautiful princess who will stun the entire S City. Are you free now? Come over and see me."

"You forgot, I'm eating out with my mom and the others. I got here early and now I'm so bored alone."

After a few seconds, Jiang Peipei called directly: "Oh, yes, I forgot you have something to do tonight, so what are you doing now?"

"Kneeling next to the toilet to watch the sunset." Sheng Xiali made herself laugh, "The view is nice, and luckily the toilet doesn't smell."

From time to time, someone was going in and out of the toilet behind me.

"Today should be your official meeting, and from now on you will be a new family."

"I feel a little complicated."

"Pat the head. The person the female boss likes must be very good! I remember you said that uncle has a son?"

"Yeah, a little older than me. Oh my god... I'm not going to be asked to call a stranger brother by then, will I? That would be too corny."

"Hahahaha, you can yell in front of your mom and uncle, but forget it in private. I don't know if your stepbrother is handsome or not, remember to let me know."

"I haven't seen him yet." Sheng Xiali held her chin up and started chatting with her bestie. "Let's not talk about whether he's handsome or not. I'm so beautiful. What if he has any improper thoughts about me?"

"Exciting! My domineering stepbrother fell in love with me and forcibly imprisoned Dodder—"

"Stop, stop, stop!"

A phone call came in. Sheng Xia Li glanced at her phone and said, "My mom is here. I have to go over there. I won't talk anymore."

"Okay, remember to describe that domineering stepbrother to me."

"……Know it!"

After hanging up the phone, Shengxiali got down from the chair.

She wore mid-calf socks, her knees were a little red from kneeling, and she was wearing a loose black suit jacket, which covered her shorts of the same color. From the back, it looked like she was not wearing any pants.

She was so engrossed in gossiping with her bestie that she forgot there was a restroom behind her. People were coming and going, so her nonsense probably went unnoticed.

Finally, I took a look and saw a man in a black coat washing his hands. He looked quite tall.

She withdrew her gaze and walked away in her little leather shoes.

"Mom, uncle."

When they arrived at the box, Shengxiali professionally showed a caring smile like a little cotton-padded jacket and sat next to Ye Mingyan.

"My dear, you are wearing so little, aren't you cold?"

Ye Mingyan hadn't seen her daughter for a while. She looked very well-maintained, and her smile was very similar to that of Sheng Xia Li. She looked at the man beside her and asked, "Ran Ran hasn't come yet?"

"He said he was going to the bathroom—here he is."

When I heard the word "toilet", my pupils trembled in the middle of summer.

The next second, the door of the box opened behind him, and a tall man walked in. He had deep facial features, somewhat like a member of an ethnic minority, with prominent brow bones, an exotic look, an indescribable depth, and was very handsome.

He sat down in the only empty seat, next to Shengxiali.

"Aunt Ye, and sister. Hello."

The voice was like a low, magnetic voice, with a hint of laughter. My back was numb in the middle of summer. I turned my head and glanced at him, holding my lower lip guiltily, my eyes fluttering down like a frightened deer, nodding guiltily: "Hello, hello."

Zhou Weiran slowly wiped his fingers with the tissue on the table, which showed that he had just been in the toilet.

Ye Mingyan discovered something: "Oh, the two young people are wearing brother and sister clothes in advance."

Both of them were wearing black suit jackets, one with a white short-sleeved shirt underneath, and the other with a white camisole. They sat together, looking very harmonious.

He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles in the midsummer. He was slapped hard in the face for his arrogant remarks just now: he was afraid that his stepbrother would do something bad to him.

He didn’t hear it, he didn’t hear it, he must not have heard it!

During the break between servings, she stole a glance to the left. The other person was very perceptive and noticed it immediately, narrowing his eyes slightly to take in her every move.

In the midsummer, I quickly looked away, pretending to look at the plate in the waiter's hand, and the hand-shredded cabbage came.

"Xia Xia."

During the meal, Ye Mingyan stated the main purpose of this meal: "Uncle Zhou and I have finished renovating our new house. It's in Xingzhou Tiancheng, you know, it's quite big. Do you want to move in? Otherwise, I won't see you several times a month, and I'll miss you."

Sheng Xia Li's first reaction was to refuse: "You just got married, I'm embarrassed to disturb you."

"It's okay, Ranran lives with us too. Both of your rooms are on the second floor, so you can take care of each other if anything happens."

Look after each other? That didn't sound right.

"Your uncle and I are planning to go on our honeymoon soon. It would be pitiful for Ranran to be alone at home. If you move in, we can both have some company."

In the middle of summer: “…” As expected.

As soon as she moved into the new home, her mother left her alone with her strange stepbrother. It turned out that her mother was even more careless than her.

"Mom, I live with my boyfriend now, and it's close to school. Xingzhou Tiancheng is too far away, and it's not convenient to go to school because there will be traffic jams."

"It's not good to live in his house all the time. We are a family." Ye Mingyan was not very happy, but then softened her tone: "Then you can stay here on weekends. I specially made a big room for you, just like before."

She is likely to lose her temper if her good intentions go to waste.

Sheng Xia Li understood this very well, so she could only nod and say, "Okay."

"That's great." Ye Mingyan finally asked, "I think your boyfriend won't have any objections."

What else can Sheng Xia Li say: "He doesn't dare."

"Tomorrow is Sunday. Let Ranran help you move your things. The weather is getting cold, so bring some cotton-padded jackets and wear less shorts. Be careful of cold legs."

How could Sheng Xia Li dare to trouble her new brother: "No, let Qi Feng help me."

"Well, you decide for yourself."

Ye Mingyan just wanted her daughter to live with her, nothing else mattered.
