On the way to the airport, Liu Menglong saw Yue Chang lying on the seat, dazed, through the rearview mirror. He whispered, "Chang Chang, we'll be boarding the plane soon. You can sleep on the plane."
"Mmm..." Yue Chang groaned but didn't open her eyes.
"Let her sleep!" Yue Xi, sitting in the passenger seat, mumbled with a hot bun from Nalan Ruyue in her mouth, "It's already a miracle that Chang Chang opened her eyes today."
Liu Menglong was silent for a moment and said, "It's my responsibility."
"It's not Big Brother's fault; we volunteered." Yue Xi shook her head and comforted him, "We're family, right! When family is in danger, helping each other is normal. It's no fun if Big Brother always feels guilty."
Liu Menglong chuckled and reached out to ruffle Yue Xi's hair, saying, "You're right, I was being too sensitive."
Yue Xi's eyes narrowed like a cat's, her face full of enjoyment. This had almost become Liu Menglong's secret weapon to tame her. Over time, Liu Menglong had relied on this to make Yue Xi even closer to him. He wondered if Yue Xi had been a cat in her past life?
Yue Xi's words eased Liu Menglong's guilt. Recalling the scenes of the past two months, his eyes softened with nostalgia and tenderness: Xi Xi, I really thank you, this little ray of sunshine. Without your liveliness, I might still be blinded by hatred. You've added color to my life, and I really thank you.
He withdrew his hand and said softly, "Xi Xi, remember to call me when you get home."
Yue Xi nodded lightly, "I will."
"You have a fiery temper. Don't cause trouble after school starts. I'm not afraid of anyone bullying you, but I'm worried about hidden dangers. There are too many small-minded people in this society. Provoking the small ones might bring the big ones. But don't be afraid of trouble. Whoever provokes us first, hit them back until they don't dare to provoke us again."
"Okay." Yue Xi smiled broadly, liking what he said.
"Tell me if you have any trouble. I'll do anything for you."
"Hehe, with Big Brother saying that, I won't even look for trouble. Big Brother won't have the chance to do anything." Yue Xi was very confident, her confidence stemming from her strength. Although she didn't claim to be invincible, she was definitely among the top. Heaven had given her a beautiful appearance, a charming figure, and unparalleled strength. Heaven had truly been too kind to Yue Xi.
Sometimes Liu Menglong couldn't help but feel a bit jealous, but of course, he was only jealous of her strength. In other aspects, he had never been jealous of anyone.
"That's good." He felt there was a lot to say, but at this moment, he couldn't say anything. The car fell silent for a while. Through the car window, he watched the passersby and vehicles, wondering if they were also playing out their own love and hate, joy and sorrow?
After a long time, Yue Xi broke the silence, "Big Brother, I'm sorry."
Liu Menglong glanced at her, "Why are you saying sorry? Did you steal my money?"
"Ugh, how could I do that?" Yue Xi glared at him, "Sister and I have billions in savings, more than we can spend."
"Oh?" Liu Menglong was startled but then calmed down. Taking out the head of the Liu family was a big deal, worth at least a hundred billion. Even if they hadn't taken on such a big job before, having a few billion in savings was easy.
He hadn't thought about it before, but now he was shocked. Liu Menglong blurted out, "Rich lady, I'm asking for support."
"Ha ha ha..." Yue Xi was taken aback, then burst out laughing, tears streaming down her face.
After a while, she stopped laughing and gave Liu Menglong a flirtatious look, hooking her finger under his chin, "Sure! Such a fine pretty boy, one billion a year, I'll support you."
"I regret it." Liu Menglong said seriously, "Rich lady, let's just be friends!"
"Too late!" Yue Xi gave him a flirtatious look, "Handsome, once you agree, there's no going back. From today on, you're my pretty boy, always on call. Serve me well, and the money will be plentiful."
"Are you this flirtatious, and do your family know?"
"I just need to know, right?"
"You're amazing."
"Of course." Just as she was feeling smug, Yue Xi suddenly realized, "Ugh! Big Brother, you're leading me astray."
"Hehe, not bad, you're much smarter than before."
Yue Xi rolled her eyes, "You just bully me."
There was no way around it. Although Yue Xi was very strong, she was a bit clumsy with words, rough and careless. She didn't think much about details. In contrast, Yue Chang seemed absent-minded on the surface but was actually very meticulous. The two sisters were complete opposites, but as twins, they complemented each other perfectly.
"So..." At a red light, Liu Menglong turned to look at her, "Why are you apologizing to me?"
Getting back to the point, Yue Xi's expression stiffened, her mood darkening. She lowered her eyes and said softly, "Big Brother, you should know! The people from the Liu family... were killed by Chang Chang and me."
After saying this, Yue Xi's palms were sweaty, her heart pounding, and she felt almost faint.
"I know!" With a casual remark, Yue Xi let out a sigh, lifting her eyes to look at him. She saw Liu Menglong smiling, lifting his hand to tap her forehead lightly, "Silly girl, they are them, I am me. Apart from blood, I have nothing to do with them. But you are my family. Can't I tell the difference?"
"Big Brother..." Seeing Liu Menglong's sincere gaze and tone, Yue Xi's eyes welled up with tears, smiling and wiping them away, "Really, you just say nice things to make me cry."
It wasn't just nice words, but genuine feelings.
"Feel better now?" Liu Menglong smiled.
"Um."
"Don't think too much. No matter what the future holds, you will always be my family."
"Um." Yue Xi smiled brightly.
In the back seat, Yue Chang's eyelashes fluttered, a smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Perhaps the knot in her heart was untied, and the lively and cheerful Yue Xi returned, laughing all the way, eating three buns in one go...
At the airport, Yue Chang was still asleep. Helpless, Liu Menglong carried her into the airport. By the time Yue Xi got their tickets with her ID, there were only thirty minutes left before boarding.
"Let's go!" The airport was huge. Liu Menglong carried Yue Chang, and Yue Xi pulled the luggage, "After security, it's almost time to board."
"Um."
They spent two minutes walking Yue Xi to the security checkpoint. Liu Menglong put Yue Chang down and patted her cheek, "Chang Chang, wake up, wake up, it's time for security."
"Mmm..." Yue Chang opened her eyes groggily, "Big Brother, where are we?"
"It's time for security." Liu Menglong said softly, "I can only take you this far. Go quickly!"
"Mmm..." Yue Chang rubbed her eyes, her vision clearing. She looked around and saw the queue at the security checkpoint. She looked up at Liu Menglong and smiled softly, "Big Brother, thank you for taking care of us these past days. Can we come back to visit again?"
"What are you saying!" Tapping Yue Chang's forehead, Liu Menglong chuckled, "This is your home. You can come back anytime."
"Um." Yue Chang smiled and gave Liu Menglong a big hug, her face pressed against his chest, "Big Brother, take care. See you later."
Patted Yue Chang's soft back, Liu Menglong was about to say something when he noticed she was falling asleep again. He couldn't help but laugh, "You, always half-asleep, day after day, year after year. You're the true sleep god."
"Great poem!" Yue Xi's eyes lit up, full of admiration, "Big Brother, you have such talent."
Yue Chang also murmured, "Great talent..."
"Don't join in the fun." Holding Yue Chang's face, he massaged a few acupoints to wake her up. Yue Chang soon felt her drowsiness lessen, her eyes becoming clearer.
"Feeling better?" Seeing Yue Chang looking at him in surprise, Liu Menglong smiled, "I learned some acupressure and massage before. Feeling more awake?"
"Um." Yue Chang smiled sweetly, "Big Brother, thank you. I feel much better now."
"That's good."
