Touya Yaoyao

Perhaps because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Yu Yaoyao chatted with Ye Zhuozhuo for a long time. Even after dinner, Yu Yaoyao was still pestering her older sister, not letting her rest.

Ye Qishi frowned as she looked at Yu Yaoyao, who was clinging to her younger sister. Before she could speak, Yu Yaoyao dragged Ye Zhuozhuo into Ye Zhuozhuo's room.

Not long after, Yu Yaoyao was pushed out of the room by Ye Zhuozhuo. Seeing this, Ye Qishi couldn't help but walk over and mock her:

"Do you think we're still kids?! You think she'll give in to your unreasonable demands just because you beg?!"

Yu Yaoyao didn't speak, but looked at the closed door, took a deep breath, and then prepared to walk to her own room.

Upon seeing this, Ye grabbed her arm and couldn't help but whisper:

"Don't sleep tonight, I'll take you to see the moon. I've heard the moonlight is beautiful in the mountains near Beijing. I'll sneak you there later."

Yu Yaoyao didn't speak or answer, but Ye Qishi misinterpreted her silence as an agreement, so Ye Qishi loosened her grip on Yu Yaoyao's wrist.

Yu Yaoyao walked to her room on her own. She opened the door, turned on the light, and then looked at the room's furnishings in silence.

The room was still furnished as before. Yu Yaoyao skillfully opened the wardrobe, picked out a pair of pajamas, tidied her hair, picked up the stuffed animal on the bedside table, and then left the room and turned off the lights.

Ye Zhuozhuo had just finished showering and was drying her hair when she heard a knock at the door. She opened it and saw Yu Yaoyao in her pajamas, clutching a stuffed animal, looking pitiful and anxious as she asked:

"Sister, can I sleep with you tonight? I'm a little afraid of the dark."

Ye Zhuozhuo looked at Yu Yaoyao's ingratiating expression and was about to refuse when Yu Yaoyao raised the little bear in her hand and said in a pitiful voice:

Please!

The scene was exactly the same as before. Ye Zhuozhuo looked at Yu Yaoyao with a mix of helplessness and amusement, sighed, and then stepped aside to make way, saying:

"Come in, this is the last time today."

Yu Yaoyao obediently responded and then slipped into the room. She sat on the bed with practiced ease, watching Ye Zhuozhuo dry her hair, and asked curiously:

"Sister, isn't Third Brother busy lately?!"

Ye Zhuozhuo was taken aback by her question. She subconsciously recalled Ye Qishi's schedule, and then explained to the curious Yu Yaoyao:

"Third Brother has been busy taking over the projects from Eldest Brother lately, he's been so busy he barely has time to breathe. Is there anything you want? How about I take you to buy it tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao awkwardly twirled her fingers in circles, muttering under her breath:

"I don't really want to buy anything, I just want to go out and have fun with you. It's so boring staying at home."

Ye Zhuozhuo glanced at Yu Yaoyao's pitiful expression, a mixture of expectation and fear of rejection, and couldn't help but put down the hairdryer in her hand. She walked up to Yu Yaoyao, reached out and flicked her forehead, and said reproachfully:

"I have to discuss a project tomorrow, would you like to come with me later?"

Yu Yaoyao nodded repeatedly, then hugged Ye Zhuozhuo tightly and said:

"I knew my sister was the best to me."

As she spoke, she skillfully lifted the covers and lay down on them. Not content with just lying down herself, she patted the empty space beside her and said with delight:

"Let's sleep together"

Looking at Yu Yaoyao's unusually excited appearance, Ye Zhuozhuo suddenly remembered that when she was first discharged from the hospital, Yu Yaoyao had taken over her bed in the same way.

At that time, Yu Yaoyao, wearing her prettiest pajamas and hugging an adorable teddy bear, walked to my door like a porcelain doll, looking at me with a pleading expression, and whispered:

"Sister, I'm a little afraid of the dark, can I sleep with you?!"

As she spoke, she carefully looked at her face, trying hard to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes, appearing as if she wanted to cry but was holding back, and whispered:

Please, please?!

Seeing her pitiful state, Ye Zhuozhuo had no choice but to let her in. The doll that had been so pitiful just moments before instantly turned into a mischievous monkey.

She not only climbed into her bed with lightning speed and pulled back the covers, but also patted the empty space next to her, excitedly claiming the spot, and said:

"Sister, let's sleep together."

At that time, I was somewhat wary of and even disgusted with this younger sister, but I had no choice but to reluctantly agree to her request and climb into bed.

But the next moment, Yu Yaoyao hugged her tightly and they leaned against each other.

She wanted to distance herself, but the other girl was incredibly clingy. As they clung to each other, she got used to sleeping with her sister and to having this boisterous little girl behind her.

To be honest, during the years that Yu Yaoyao studied in Europe, she found it hard to adjust without Yu Yaoyao by her side. Therefore, when the scene reappeared, she helplessly lay on the bed, while the other person, just like before, put their arm around her shoulder and leaned on her shoulder to fall asleep peacefully.

Ye was surprised that Yu Yaoyao wasn't in his room. Thinking back to how she and Ye Zhuozhuo always slept together when they were little, he couldn't help but frown.

Ye wanted to call Yu Yaoyao, but was afraid of waking her sister, so she sent Yu Yaoyao a WeChat message instead.

For some reason, he didn't receive a reply on WeChat. Plus, he was exhausted after a long day and too sleepy to wait for a reply, so he simply turned around and went back to his room to sleep.

Ye Zhuozhuo woke up very early the next day, while the other was still lazing in bed. Looking at Yu Yaoyao, who had curled up in bed, Ye Zhuozhuo couldn't help but say helplessly:

"Lazybones, get up now or the sun will be shining on your bottom!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao immediately poked her head out from under the covers and said angrily:

"I'm not a lazy pig!"

Ye Zhuozhuo didn't argue with her. Instead, she tidied her short hair, put on new pearl earrings, and said with a hint of sarcasm:

"If you don't get up, I'm leaving."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao stopped lingering in bed and began getting ready very quickly. Her hurried manner made Ye Zhuozhuo chuckle and shake her head. She's so old, yet she still has this kind of personality.

After quickly washing up, changing into new clothes, and styling her hair nicely, Yu Yaoyao deliberately twirled in front of Ye Zhuozhuo, asking with a smug look:

"Is it pretty?!"

Ye Zhuozhuo poked her forehead, teasing her with a mix of reproach and helplessness:

"You look beautiful, you're the most beautiful."

As he spoke, he looked at her with a doting expression, then took her hand and they went out together.

Ye must have been quite busy today, because he had just seen Yu Yaoyao and hadn't even had a chance to speak when Ye Qihua called him away. Seeing the two leave, Yu Weijin couldn't help but ask:

"Aren't you going to eat breakfast?!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qihua continued walking, but his voice came from afar:

"No, I have a lot to do today. If I finish early, I can still come back for dinner."

Seeing that her eldest and third sons were both busy with their careers, Yu Weijin glanced at the father and daughter at the dining table, who were also holding newspapers, and couldn't help but mutter a complaint under her breath:

"The whole family are workaholics; they don't know how to spend more time with their loved ones."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yuntao subconsciously put down the newspaper in his hand, coughed lightly, and informed Ye Zhuozhuo and Yu Yaoyao:

"I'm planning to retire early and take your mom on a world tour."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yaoyao and Ye Zhuozhuo were both stunned. They subconsciously looked at Yu Weijin, who was also dumbfounded, and were somewhat skeptical of the truth of the matter.

Yu Weijin blushed, walked shyly to Ye Yuntao, and whispered bashfully:

"Honey, you're in your prime now. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to retire early? Although I really want to travel, I'm also worried about causing you trouble."

Ye Yuntao picked up the chopsticks beside him and placed a fried egg on Yu Weijin's plate. He spoke with a seemingly serious but actually quite sarcastic tone:

"How can I not retire? My wife wanted to travel, so I went with her. Then she won't have a reason to say I'm a workaholic and that I don't care about my family and only know how to work!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Weijin playfully punched Ye Yuntao lightly. Ye Yuntao made a pained expression, and Yu Weijin immediately tried to comfort him, but Ye Yuntao took the opportunity to grab her hand.

Yu Yaoyao and Ye Zhuozhuo were used to the playful interactions between the couple; one continued to quietly read the newspaper, and the other continued to quietly eat.

Since Ye Yuntao was able to say such a thing, he must have already made arrangements. Perhaps it won't be long before the two of them can go on a trip without any worries.

That's wonderful! We can go on a trip, see the beautiful scenery, the desert oasis, the ocean and islands, and even see the ocean that hasn't been polluted by nuclear wastewater.

How jealous! With them gone and my older brother gone, all that's left at home is... Oh my god, it seems... she can't stay here any longer.
