Touya Yaoyao

In Yu Yaoyao's memory, Ye rarely showed such a serious expression and extremely harsh tone when he was with her. Even when Yu Yaoyao deliberately angered him, he never said anything threatening.

Now, seeing his furrowed brows and warning expression, Yu Yaoyao subconsciously felt that this guy was serious.

Ye actually seems to really dislike Shiro Touya. Although I don't know why, she seems to genuinely hate him!

But what does this have to do with me?! She hasn't had much contact with Bai Taoya at all! Apart from participating in two variety shows together, and yesterday and the day before, she hasn't had any contact with Bai Taoya at all, so she pouted to herself and said dejectedly:

"understood"

Seeing that Yu Yaoyao agreed, Ye Qishi finally relaxed his furrowed brows. Looking at the sullen Yu Yaoyao across from him, he couldn't help but soften his tone and whispered soothingly:

"Yaoyao, your third brother is only doing this for your own good."

Yu Yaoyao knew, of course, that Ye was genuinely looking out for her own good, and that he was saying these things to keep her away from Bai Taoshi. From an older brother's perspective, his words were perfectly reasonable.

If she didn't know his ulterior motives, she could accept his care and protection without hesitation, but there are no "ifs".

Because of Yu Yaoyao's silence, the atmosphere in the room was extremely quiet. Ye Qishi looked at her slightly turned face and was about to say something when Yu Yaoyao stood up.

As if she were very tired, she yawned to herself and then walked quickly towards the bedroom on the second floor. Ye Qishi was stunned for a moment when she saw her like this, and then followed her.

Yu Yaoyao was very fast; by the time Ye Qishi arrived at her door, she had already locked the door and gone to bed.

Ye hadn't expected Yu Yaoyao to lock the door, so he was clearly taken aback when he was about to open it. But as he was about to knock angrily, he silently withdrew his hand.

This habit must have originated in Europe, since it's not a safe place there.

Whether it's self-deception or burying one's head in the sand, that's all he can think.

As she listened to the footsteps fading away outside the door, Yu Yaoyao stared at the rooftop, unable to calm down for a long time. She really wanted to treat Ye Qishi as her brother, a brother she could act cute and spoiled with, and that's what she had always done.

But for some reason, things turned out this way, and now she doesn't know what to do!

It's so annoying! Why do I always encounter these kinds of troubles? Can't things be simpler? Why does it have to be so complicated?!

She drifted off to sleep, but in the middle of the night, she heard the sound of the lock turning, and then the locked door was opened.

The familiar footsteps entered. He first skillfully picked up Yu Yaoyao's phone, unlocked it, and glanced at the recent chat and call logs. After finding nothing he didn't want to see, he put the phone aside.

His familiar, warm hands lovingly and carefully touched her face, then easily lifted her blankets and pulled her into his arms.

In an instant, the masculine aura enveloped her, causing her entire body to tense to the extreme. She dared not move or breathe rapidly, for fear of making any move that would cause the other party to lose his composure.

They're both your sisters, so why don't you treat her like one too?! Ye, in your heart, what am I really?!

Yu Yaoyao didn't want to think too much, but she couldn't help but overthink. In this situation, she couldn't help but let her mind wander.

How could she not overthink it?! The ambiguous scene, the close proximity, and the clearly audible breathing of the other person all made her tremble uncontrollably.

Having been adopted by the Ye family for so many years, they have all treated her very well. She doesn't want to easily ruin this affection, nor does she want anything to happen between her and Ye, knowing that he is actually going to have an arranged marriage!

She knew perfectly well that the Ye family had long-term plans for their four children, and that their marriages and love already had standards in place, and those standards would not be her.

She was just an adopted daughter, with no connections, no capital, no power, nothing at all, an adopted daughter who depended on them for survival.

Therefore, Yu Yaoyao really didn't understand why Ye Qishi had such misplaced actions and thoughts. Couldn't she just treat her like a younger sister?! Just like when they were little?!

They were such close siblings, so why did he seem so distant to her now?! Or was it really as Bai Taosheng said, that he was treating her as… a child bride?!

But Yu Yaoyao didn't want to be disliked, disliked by the Ye family. She liked the Ye family very much, and she also liked her older brother and sister very much. She didn't want to let Ye Qishi turn this affection into a stain.

Pain, confusion, irritability, disgust, and even a hidden anger churned and tangled in Yu Yaoyao's heart. She even began to amuse herself by thinking that if she were extremely ugly, she wouldn't have this kind of trouble.

Perhaps not wanting to be discovered, Ye Qishi hurriedly left near dawn. Yu Yaoyao was too sleepy to think about the meaning behind it all.

Perhaps she should find an excuse to go back to her own little nest, or go to a place where he can't find her for a while. In any case, she didn't want to live like this for even a day longer.

Having finally fallen into a deep sleep, Yu Yaoyao was woken up in the morning. Looking at Ye Qishi beside her, she felt a strong urge to stab him with a knife.

Ye, that's enough! You've really gone too far!! Go to work right now and don't disturb my sleep. I'll get out of here when I've had enough sleep.

"Still haven't had enough sleep?! Are you that tired?! Get up and have breakfast, okay?! Aunt Wang has already prepared it; it'll get cold if you don't eat it."

When Ye Qishi said this, his tone was gentle and doting. Yu Yaoyao was too lazy to pay attention to him and simply shrank into the blanket to cover herself. Seeing her like this, Ye Qishi smiled and said softly:

"Yaoyao, don't be stubborn, get up and eat."

His response was Yu Yaoyao's unwavering stillness, as steady as a rock. Ye Qi wasn't annoyed; he patiently looked at the little one curled up on the bed, his tone becoming even gentler:

"If you get up, whatever you want, your third brother will buy it for you, okay?!"

In the past, when I said this, the other person would excitedly crawl out from under the covers, their face beaming with excitement, and say:

"Really?!"

But even now, it remains completely still, incredibly stable.

Ye frowned, wondering why the words that had always worked so well were now having no effect whatsoever. Meanwhile, Yu Yaoyao was still fast asleep in the bedding.

Seeing that the other person didn't move for a long time, Ye simply left the room. Not long after, he ran back in and directly pulled off the bedding.

The blankets, which felt like a second skin, were forcibly ripped off, and a gust of cold wind made Yu Yaoyao shiver. Looking at Ye Qishi in front of her with a look of utter despair, Yu Yaoyao felt a sense of powerlessness, as if she wanted to die.

You're just a working-class person, why aren't you working your 8 AM shift?! Why are you messing with me?! What did I do to offend you?!

Seeing Yu Yaoyao's angry but speechless expression, Ye Qishi couldn't help but cough lightly and soften her tone, saying:

"Come on, let's go to the company with your brother."

Yu Yaoyao rejected Ye Qishi's suggestion without even thinking:

"No, I want to get my beauty sleep tonight."

"You can sleep at the company; there are single bedrooms there. Just consider it keeping your brother company, okay?!"

"No, you're an adult now, you don't need me to accompany you."

"What does this have to do with being an adult?! Isn't a sister accompanying her brother to work a sign of a good sibling relationship?!"

"You can ask Sister Zhuozhuo to accompany you to work; she's like a sister to you too."

.........

In the end, unable to win an argument with Yu Yaoyao, Ye Qishi, seeing that Yu Yaoyao remained unmoved, simply took action, picked her up, and left.

The sudden dizziness was too much for Yu Yaoyao to handle; she could only pound on Ye Qishi's shoulder and protest loudly:

"Let me go! I don't want to go! I don't want to go to work!! How can you be such a bad brother?!"

Ye actually carried her instead of hugged her because carrying her would be too ambiguous and it wouldn't be good if others saw it.

If I carry her around, people will just say that my sister is being lazy and not going to work, which is why I, as her older brother, am acting so rudely.

It must be said that Ye Qishi's actions did indeed alarm Wang Ma. When Wang Ma heard Yu Yaoyao's heart-wrenching resistance, she immediately stopped what she was about to do to help Yu Yaoyao and continued cleaning.

She remembered that when Yu Yaoyao didn't want to go to school when they were little, the Third Young Master used this trick to get her to go to school. She guessed that the same thing would happen again today!
