In the evening, Wang Bo, sleeping alone in the small room, could be described with five words: empty, lonely, and cold. Every time he turned over, the second-hand steel bed would creak, robbing him of any sleep. The small room also had a faint musty smell, making him feel as if he were living in a garbage heap.
Although Lu Lu had once offered to move into the small room, she did not get her wish due to Wang's mother's insistence. However, after Wang Bo spent one night there, he would not agree to let Lu Lu sleep there. He, a boy, found it hard to endure, so how could he let a weaker girl sleep there? It would be a form of abuse.
Thinking about how he was suffering in place of Lu Lu, his heart felt a bit better. After all, as an older brother, he had to protect his younger sister. Even if she was a cousin, her smile was so adorable that enduring a bit of hardship was worth it.
Recalling that fleeting smile, Wang Bo's mind wandered, his eyes staring out the window, lost in thought. At this moment, the door to the small room opened, and he turned to see a petite figure holding a pillow standing at the door, the very person he had been thinking about... Oh no, she should be his cousin.
"Hmm... Little sister, why are you here?" Wang Bo said, indicating that he was still awake. "Are you scared? Can't sleep?"
"I just came to see how the environment here is." Lu Lu's tone was indifferent as she walked in and closed the door. She looked around with the moonlight, wrinkling her nose. "Why does it smell musty?"
"You noticed too?" He sighed. "I don't know. I guess I'll have to clean it up tomorrow. Maybe something has gone moldy."
She walked to the bed and sat on the edge, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry for making you sleep here. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Don't be so formal," Wang Bo, who had just been feeling sorry for himself, now showed his brotherly side. "This is what an older brother should do. Just be a bit nicer to me in the future."
"That might be hard," Lu Lu said coldly, as if being nice to Wang Bo was a very difficult task. She was always like this, unpredictable, making Wang Bo unable to figure her out. "Is there any direct compensation, something one-time?"
"One-time..." Wang Bo, supporting his chin, thought seriously for a moment, then said with a hint of pride, "I can't really think of anything. I have everything I need. I'm at the peak of my life, where everything goes as I wish. I can't think of anything you can do for me."
"You have no requests?" She looked at him calmly. "If you have no requests, I'll do what I think is best."
"Your idea? What do you have in mind?" Wang Bo asked curiously, wondering if she knew what he needed help with. Then he saw Lu Lu cover his face with the pillow!
"Huh? What are you doing!" He thought she was trying to suffocate him, but before he could resist, she ordered, "Don't move, don't make a sound, don't show your face."
Wang Bo then realized that the pillow was just covering his face, not pressing down hard. Curious, he asked from under the pillow, "What are you doing... hmm?" His hand grabbed the edge of his pants, holding it tightly because Lu Lu's hand was reaching inside!
"What are you trying to do?" He thought she might be trying to castrate him. He hadn't done anything wrong recently!
"Let go," Lu Lu commanded coldly.
"Explain yourself, what are you trying to do!" Wang Bo was anxious, imagining she might be holding a shiny pair of scissors.
"Compensating you, finishing what you didn't finish last time." Lu Lu said this calmly, but her face was very red. Knowing she would inevitably blush, she covered Wang Bo's face so he couldn't see. This time, she had gathered a lot of courage and made a firm decision.
"Last... last time?" Wang Bo stuttered, his heart pounding. She was actually going to compensate him this way? He was still hesitating when Lu Lu's hand reached out again. This time, Wang Bo, who was in a state of inner conflict, did not strongly resist. After all, which man could resist?
Her hand was cold, and just a light touch made Wang Bo react shamefully. But after a few seconds, he suddenly came to his senses, twisted his body to avoid her hand, and pulled the pillow away. "Where did you learn this? Did you look at the stuff on my computer before deleting it?"
Lu Lu had already gathered a lot of courage to do this. After being questioned, she was even more embarrassed. She had only glanced at the hidden folders to confirm what was inside, remembering her face turning red and her heart racing, cursing Wang Bo for being shameless.
But since he liked it, Lu Lu decided to indulge him, enduring her embarrassment to give him a one-time compensation. Her face red, she gritted her teeth and said, "Do you want the compensation or not?"
Wang Bo laughed, "Alright, consider it done. I appreciate it. Go back now."
Lu Lu pouted, hearing the contempt in his voice. She knew she had done a poor job, but he had reacted, yet he still mocked her, making her feel defeated.
Wang Bo saw her standing there, head down in thought, thinking she had finally given up. He was feeling quite pleased, thinking he could enjoy the night. Suddenly, he felt a cool hand on his leg. She was determined to see it through, even without the pillow covering his face.
The small hand moved slowly, giving him an unusual thrill, and a wicked fire rose in his heart. Wang Bo grabbed her wrist and gently pulled. Lu Lu let out a light cry and fell into his arms.
In the moonlight, he saw her bright eyes staring at him nervously, her body stiff, ready to struggle.
Lu Lu's heart was racing. She thought: What is he going to do? Am I inviting disaster? Should I scream?
Wang Bo reached out, lightly caressing her flawless face, then suddenly pinched her cheeks and said, "Daring to play tricks on your brother, huh? If you don't leave, I'll spank you!"
Lu Lu's mouth was twisted, and she pushed him away in anger, then struggled out of his arms, picked up the pillow, and hit him twice before storming out of the room.
The matter was finally over. Wang Bo let out a long sigh, unable to find any words to communicate with this sister whose mind was full of strange ideas.
Lu Lu, holding the pillow, walked back to her room, covering her face and sitting on the bed, blaming herself for being too impulsive. She felt she had lost all face and worried that he would use this to mock her in the future. After she left, Wang Bo felt a bit regretful, thinking he had rejected her too quickly and should have at least pretended to enjoy it for a while.
He thought: Maybe she will come again next time. Should I half-heartedly accept it... Hmm, she is a grateful girl, I can't let her repay me in vain.
How shameless... Wang Bo scolded himself. Are you an animal? Are you really an animal? She is your cousin! Do you want to be crucified?
Sigh... He took a deep breath and put away those wandering thoughts... With a sister like this, what more could I ask for... Beast! Do you still have the face to recite poetry? Wang Bo fell into self-contradiction again, spending a fulfilling night in self-criticism.
The next morning, Wang's mother saw his obvious dark circles and thought he had insomnia from sleeping in the small room. She said, "Why don't you go back to your room and sleep on the floor? After all, you two get along well, and Lu Lu shouldn't mind."
"What do you mean we get along well? Where?" Wang Bo, now a bit sensitive, firmly refused to sleep with Lu Lu. His mind was in conflict, and if the evil side won one day, he might do something out of line, and who would he blame then? His mother's well-meaning arrangement?
"The small room is fine, I slept very well!" Wang Bo said decisively, then hesitated, "But there's a musty smell, Mom. You should clean it up when you have time and see what's gone moldy."
"You clean it up when you have time. I don't have time. Your father is going on a business trip tomorrow, and I need to pack his luggage."
"Ah? He just came back a few days ago. Why is he going again? Why do the machines they sell always have problems?" Wang Bo complained, then said, "If it keeps happening, tell Dad to change jobs. It's not good to be away so often, and it's not good for his health."
"I've talked to him about it. He said he'll think about it," Wang's mother said lovingly. "Alright, stop worrying about your father. Hurry up and eat breakfast, then take your sister to school."
Wang Bo stuffed a breakfast roll into his mouth and mumbled, "This isn't taking her to school, I'm going to school too."
As he spoke, Lu Lu came out of her room with sleepy eyes, looking like she hadn't slept well either. Wang Bo thought she deserved it for pushing him to the brink. But she looked so cute when she just woke up... No, no! Wang Bo waved his hand to dispel the evil thoughts, putting on a serious brotherly face and calmly said, "You're up? Hurry up and eat breakfast, then go to school."
Lu Lu squinted at him, "Brother, why do you have dark circles? Didn't you sleep well last night?" She yawned, making Wang Bo yawn too. He resisted the urge to comment and said, "Yeah, the bed was a bit uncomfortable, I couldn't get used to it."
"Then sleep on the floor in your room. There's plenty of space," Lu Lu said casually, then went to brush her teeth and wash her face. After a sleepless night, she had finally decided that instead of avoiding him, it was better to be straightforward. After all, Wang Bo's courage wasn't much greater than hers.
Wang's mother said happily, "See, I told you Lu Lu is a sensible child and wouldn't mind. Son, if you really can't get used to it, go back to your room. Your insomnia will affect your studies."
"Let's see. Maybe I'll get used to it in a few days," Wang Bo said, feeling that his room had become a dragon's den, too dangerous to enter easily.
