Chapter 95: What Do You Want Sister Xia?

When I left Lin Yin Yin's house it was already a little late, and I was thinking about my sister, she said she waited for me to go back for dinner.

I was in a hurry and told the motorcyclist to drive faster, and hurried home without any detours.
 

The lights were on in the room, and once I got to the door I could faintly smell food. I opened the door and went in and saw Li Xin sitting at the table with her chin propped on her hands, her eyes closed and her head swaying slightly.

I almost laughed out loud, she is sleepy ah, she's probably going to fall asleep. And when I walked over, her head slipped off her hands, and she woke up suddenly, and blushed when she saw me smiling: "What are you laughing at, I wasn't waiting for you."

I sat next to her, she seemed to have lost all her sleepiness, and checked the food to make sure it was still hot, and then looked at me, anticipating when I ate.

She really was like a virtuous wife, I took a big bite, she smiled sweetly, then her nose twitched, and she suddenly stopped smiling: "Where have you been?"

I said huh, what? Her lips pressed together: "You smell like a girl."

You can smell that??? I just helped Lin Yin Yin for a while ah. I went and smelled myself, but couldn't smell anything, but Li Xin was apparently angry: "Did you see Yang Han Lu? Although I am friends with her, you are not allowed to see her!"

She said angrily, her little lips curved unhappily. I couldn't help but laugh and tell her the truth.

She was surprised: "So it's Lin Yin Yin, said she will help you?"

Of course, I told her not to be suspicious, I am the most obedient brother.

But, she ended up getting angry again, and tried to think of something to say, and took a bite of food and pinched me: "If only you were actually obedient, hmm, hurry and eat."

Damn what happened? I was confused, I guess it's something that Yang Han Lu whispered to her, she must have said something horrible!

I coaxed and lied to her a little, and she finally calmed down, I really wanted to cry, why is my sister getting more and more neurotic... But it still makes me feel good that she is showing her emotions more, so I am a little happy.

The two of us had dinner and it was time to rest, she was tired all day and took a shower and went to sleep. I was busy working on my articles, and didn't have time to relax.

The next day she went and passed out flyers early and left me breakfast.

I was busy working on my articles. I tried to write a few more, to earn more money.

Nothing too exciting happened, and I was completely enthralled with my article, until I suddenly heard the sound of our door opening.

I was quite surprised, it wasn’t even noon yet, was Li Xin back? I went out to see, and it was her, but right behind her was Sister Xia.

Sister Xia came in and snooped around: "Good, good, this place is very nice, ah."

Sister Xia had always confused me, I scratched my head: "Sister Xia, so, what do you have to say for today?"

She got angry and came over to lecture me: "How dare you let your girlfriend hand out flyers? Do you know how tiring it is? It's so cold, her hands are frozen, and she has to face the stares of the pedestrians, I really misjudged you!"

She seemed to be telling the truth. I admit I was a little silly and didn't think about it much either, so  I just looked at Li Xin, and was angry and a little embarrassed: "Sister Xia, stop talking, I already told you I was his sister, and I’ll be fine handing out the pamphlets by myself."

Sister Xia didn't care, she crossed her arms and continued to scold me: "If I hadn't seen her today, I wouldn't have known! She just bought two baked potatoes for lunch, how can you let her do that? You're so mean! You're enjoying yourself at home and making her go out to suffer!"

I was shocked, and then guilty and a little angry, and hurriedly asked Li Xin: "You just ate sweet potatoes for lunch?"

Li Xin lowered her head and pinched the corner of her coat, like a child who did something wrong. I didn't even need an answer, it must be true. I'm really upset, she's handing out leaflets every day at noon just to eat sweet potatoes?

I went to hold her hand, and it was cold, probably because of the streets and the cold weather, it was also cracking a little, and felt dry and fragile.

I'm so fucking stupid, it's so cold outside, why hadn't I thought of that? I quickly breathed on her hand, my nose was sore and I felt like I was about to tear up a little.

Sister Xia stopped scolding me, but she still wasn't happy: “She can’t be handing out those leaflets, atleast have her work for me, so she doesn’t get hurt like this.”

Li Xin shook her head: "Sister Xia, your shop ......"

Sister Xia didn't take it seriously, and she was even a little complacent: "I have already thought of a good idea to save the business. There are three milk tea shops on that street, so the competition is fierce. If I want to attract all the customers, then I will have to try harder."

Sister Xia seemed confident ah, but I wasn’t really paying attention to her as I quickly dragged Li Xin into the living room to harm her up by turning on the heater.

Sister Xia was finally satisfied, and walked around to see our house. Li Xin was really cold, not only were her hands cold, her face was also cold.

Her shoes were also very old, and didn’t even look like they could help with the cold, not even to mention, didn’t even look comfortable. Why didn’t I notice these things earlier? Damn it!

I told her to take off her shoes and get under the covers, but she said she wasn't cold. I told her she had to get under the covers and stay there, and she took off her shoes pitifully.

When I looked at her feet, they were so cold and red that they looked like they had been soaked in ice water.

I felt like crying, and I didn't want to scold her. I rushed to the bathroom to get some hot water, and Sister Xia asked: "What's wrong?"

I said Li Xin's feet were frozen red, and she was angry with me: "Why do you treat her like a man? If I hadn't found her, she would have been cold this entire winter."

I loathe myself for this, I was thinking too much about making money for the future, I totally forgot about how my sister was right now.

I hurriedly fetched half a bucket of hot water and brought it into Li Xin's room, she was already lying under the covers, and she was uneasy: "Brother Brother, I'm really not cold."

She must be used to it, I'm afraid she's been so cold every year for so many years.

My complexion was a little bad, and she didn't dare to speak because she was afraid that I would get angry. I asked her to sit up and soak her feet, and she listened obediently. The room was already steaming, and with the air from the air conditioner, the whole area was warm.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt her feet with distress, they were still cold in the hot water, and I could feel the obvious temperature difference.

Her bones seem to be cold, why did this happen, I really don't know how she survived.

Fortunately, the hot water was warm enough, and she slowly warmed up, her face was rosy, and when she came back home, she was pale.

I let Sister Xia watch her, and I took some money to buy shoes.

Yang Han Lu lent about five thousand to me, and since I spent four thousand looking for some hooligans, I only had a thousand. I deliberately went somewhere where they sold high-grade shoes. I didn’t know any popular brands, but I bought a pair that was six hundred yuan, they could probably keep you warm enough.

I brought it back to Li Xin, Xia praised me: "Wow, that's not cheap, good, you're finally getting in the right mindset."

Li Xin's eyes were red: "How can you be so wasteful, how much was it?"

She always cared about the money, and now she is both touched and distressed. I said it wasn’t too expensive, maybe a few tens, Sister Xia blinked: “Actually… that was the wrong brand, I guess it was only fifty, not too expensive.”

Li Xin sniffed, I put the shoes on her bedside: "Wear this when you go out in the future."

She nodded obediently, and I told her to rest well so she wouldn't catch a cold, and she obediently listened.

I was relieved when Sister Xia pulled me out to whisper: "Ask her to come work for me."

I said your business wasn't doing well, right? You don't even have money to pay rent and you want workers? Sister Xia was a little embarrassed: "I said I have an idea to grab business, right? It's guaranteed to make a lot of money."

I looked at her with a frown, and she thought about it logically: “The people here have a lot of money, but there are a lot of shops here. Even a nearby bakery opened a section for couples only. I don’t have money to make renovations like that, so I can only use my creativity.”

I said, what do you really want? She lowered her voice: "I want to earn money from those men, they are generous, whether they are adults or students, they all have a lot of money."

That’s a good point, but it’s no use. I said that’s a good idea, but how are you even going to get them to spend money there?

She snapped her fingers: "So I need Xinxin's help. In the past, when she went to help, there were always more customers, so I decided I'd dress her up and make her our mascot."

I don't really understand... ah, mascot? It sounds hard to explain, but I think it's okay to let her do whatever she needs.

I thought it was a good idea, I don't want Li Xin to go back to the streets, handing out leaflets, maybe she can have a stable job with Sister Xia.

I said it's okay, but you can't let Li Xin suffer ah. She patted me on the shoulder: "Don't worry, this is a very easy job, she just has to be beautiful."

Translator Notes: Hiiii sorry for the later update, got busy with school, anywayyys poor Li Xin has been treating herself horribly ;( also i dont really trust sister Xia i wont lie… but that’s all for today, until next time then, bye byeeee
