Brother and Sister Chat

Compared to when he left, Xu Yuan found his room much messier, with unidentified "miscellaneous items" scattered everywhere.

The desk, windowsill, and floor were almost entirely covered by these "clutter," leaving virtually no room to step.

certainly,

The most eye-catching sight was the young girl in a traditional Chinese dress sleeping on her own bed.

The gentle, warm sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating her fair, flawless sleeping face.

Looking at his Fourth Sister sleeping soundly on his bed, Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment. Then he glanced at the "clutter" in the room, a look of understanding flashing in his eyes. He sighed softly, silently used his internal energy to conceal his aura and voice, and slowly walked into the room to tidy up the messy room.

The sun sets in the west.

As the first golden rays of the setting sun streamed into the room, the girl's long, thick eyelashes began to tremble. However, the fatigue from prolonged lack of sleep, coupled with the dizziness and lightheadedness after a sudden rest, made Xu Xinyao subconsciously reluctant to open her eyes.

After struggling for a long time, she finally managed to get up, hugged the soft and delicate silk quilt, gently turned over on the bed, and then fell into a deep sleep again.

Time ticked by silently, and as the last ray of sunlight sank into the west, the entire room was plunged into darkness.

The familiar scent and the soft, warm feel of the silk quilt made Xu Xinyao want to sleep like this forever.

In this warm tranquility, Xu Xinyao suddenly opened her eyes.

He stared at the outline of the bed curtains hidden in the darkness for a moment, then quickly sat up.

She just wanted to take a nap, how did she end up sleeping until now?

A moment of confusion washed over her, Xu Xinyao instinctively grabbed the silk quilt covering her and tried to get up, but her movements froze the instant she grasped it.

She remembered that she hadn't covered herself with a blanket before falling asleep.

After a moment of silence, the girl looked stiffly into the dimly lit room.

As her gaze shifted, Xu Xinyao saw the silhouette of a man sitting quietly at the table in the center of the room.

"Woke up?"

The man in the darkness seemed to notice that she had woken up. Looking at the girl who still seemed a little sleepy, he chuckled and said, "Why are you still like a child, not liking to sleep with blankets even though you're all grown up? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold in this weather?"

Hearing that familiar voice with a hint of teasing, Xu Xinyao subconsciously clenched the silk quilt in her hands, feeling her face flush, but at the same time, she also felt a sense of relief.

The room was so dark, Third Brother probably wouldn't notice anything unusual about him.

"So you do know how to blush? This bed of mine is one that even your sisters-in-law haven't slept in."

Before her thoughts could settle, a leisurely, teasing voice reached Xu Xinyao's ears once more.

I'm a little annoyed.

She was really still half asleep and almost forgot that her Third Brother was now a cultivator at the Fusion Realm.

After struggling to gather her thoughts, Xu Xinyao emerged from the warm bedding with her long, slender legs, sat on the edge of the bed, and softly chuckled:

"Third Brother, have you forgotten? When Xin Yao was little, she often spent the night in your room."

Xu Yuan was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then a gentle light flashed in his eyes:

"Alright, go ahead and sleep if you want, but get up now that you're awake."

While speaking,

Xu Yuan slowly stood up from the table and casually tossed a white velvet vest to Xu Xinyao:

"Sleeping fully clothed in winter makes it easy to catch a cold. You've ruined the heating system in my room, so put this coat on first."

Xu Xinyao instinctively caught it, touching the delicate silk texture of the vest, her eyes slightly lowered, and a smile curved her rosy lips:

"Third Brother, you are truly observant. No wonder you are so popular with women. But why do you wear women's clothing?"

As she spoke, the girl raised her bright eyes, which shone in the darkness.

Xu Yuan spread his hands and said with a light laugh:

"It's always good to be prepared. Buy things in advance and have them on hand; you'll always find a use for them eventually."

"But if you don't like this one, I have several other styles here. Why don't you pick one you like?"

"."

Seeing his undisguised licentiousness, Xu Xinyao rolled her eyes at him. She found the white silk stockings she had unconsciously slipped off in her sleep on the bed, and as she slowly put them on in front of Xu Yuan with her bare feet, she heard the voice from the other side again:

"You're shameless for carelessly tossing your silk stockings around. I wonder what those sect disciples who admire you will think if they find out."

"." Xu Xinyao.

Looking up, she saw the man sitting with his arms crossed, leaning against the edge of the table, watching her with great interest. His long, narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes were full of laughter.

"It stinks! Looks like I'll have to change the sheets tonight."

Xu Xinyao paused, putting on her socks. She pursed her red lips, looked up, and said softly:

"Brother, I'll go tell Big Brother that you bullied me in the house right now."

"." Xu Yuan.

"Just kidding, Third Brother, are you really that afraid of Big Brother?"

"I'm afraid of him?" Xu Yuan's eyes twitched, and he took a deep breath. "If I were afraid of him..."

"What about my maternal uncle?"

"." Xu Yuan.

"Giggle~"

Xu Xinyao smiled sweetly, put on her boots and socks, stood up and draped the white velvet vest over her shoulders, her slender index finger and thumb lightly brushing against it.

"Smack."

With a snap of his fingers, the Inscription Lamp in the room lit up.

Upon seeing the empty room, Xu Xinyao immediately looked at Xu Yuan.

She suspected that her Third Brother wanted to return to his old ways and swindle her array pattern materials to sell for money.

Xu Xinyao asked with a slightly wary tone:

"Brother, where are those array materials in the house?"

"Tsk"

Seeing this gaze, Xu Yuan clicked his tongue softly, then took off the Sumeru Ring from his index finger and tossed it to the other person.

"I've sorted and organized everything for you. You're usually quite clean, but you become all sloppy when it comes to array formations. Aren't you worried about mixing up the materials when you're inscribing the array patterns?"

Seeing the Sumeru Ring flying towards her, Xu Xinyao's beautiful eyes blinked twice, and she caught it in a slightly flustered manner.

Looking at the Sumeru Ring in his hand, and then at the Third Brother opposite him, he hesitated.

Even family members are not allowed to casually look through the Sumeru Ring.

"Don't worry, my Sumeru Ring is cleaner than your face."

Xu Yuan waved his hand and chuckled softly, "That old woman Lou Ji took all my money before. Besides your array materials, there was only some loose silver and daily necessities. After you take them back, tell your brother about the array you engraved."

At this point, Xu Yuan suddenly paused, glanced at Xu Xinyao's slightly pale face due to exhaustion, tapped his head, and walked towards the door, saying softly:

"Don't rush with the formation. I just had Xu Changge prepare your favorite dishes. I'll go to the kitchen to get them for you. Wait here for me."
