Chapter 123: Taking Liu Xinyao on a Mountain Adventure

After lunch, some time passed.

Recovering from her shyness, Liu Xinyao, who had become her usual carefree self, announced she was going to take a nap.

However, her lingering gaze left Liu Yunshuang clear on her intentions.

Recalling their previous conversation, Liu Yunshuang sighed and pulled Wang Haoran to sit down for a talk.

Her opening words were shocking.

“Haoran, tonight, just go ahead and take Yaoyao.”

“…Shuang’er, did I hear you right… What are you saying…”

Although they had already discussed things openly, Wang Haoran was still stunned by Liu Yunshuang’s straightforward words.

“What can I say? It’s inevitable anyway, so let’s not drag it out, Yaoyao keep pestering me!”

Liu Yunshuang had been driven crazy these past few days by Liu Xinyao, who kept bringing up topics like “taking the initiative,” “tricking,” “attacking,” and “squeezing him dry.”

At first, Liu Yunshuang thought her sister had watched too many adult videos and her brain was fried, but as the repetitions increased, she realized Liu Xinyao was just trying to alleviate her own nervousness.

Since childhood, whenever Liu Xinyao felt anxious, she would cling to Liu Yunshuang, babbling nonsense, hoping for comfort and encouragement.

But this also indicated Liu Xinyao was serious.

“At this point, don’t tell me you don’t want to!”

“I do, but you suddenly saying ‘go for it,’ isn’t that too abrupt… I haven’t mentioned it to Luoluo and the others yet!”

Hearing Wang Haoran’s hesitation, Liu Yunshuang snorted softly.

“What are you afraid of? With Luoluo jie’s ‘gracious and magnanimous’ demeanor, the epitome of traditional virtues, do you think she’ll mind? Mention it to her, and she might even help you arrange it!”

“I still remember clearly!”

Liu Yunshuang started counting on her fingers.

“Back then, I happened to see you and Luoluo jie playing a two-player game, and you both pulled me over, turning it into a three-person card game!”

“Midway through, you wanted to switch to mahjong, and Xiaoyan, who was passing by, said she couldn’t play, but Luoluo jie dragged her over to learn without a word!”

“Learning was one thing, but as soon as Xiaoyan won, you shamelessly wanted to form a five-person team, and Luoluo jie eagerly dragged Yinyin out from her computer!”

“Next, Xiaoxiao and Su Yan jie came… Hmph, talking about auto chess and Russian roulette, everyone but the soundly sleeping Linger was forced to stay up learning these games!”

“I suspect, if Linger hadn’t been sleeping like a log, you would’ve brought her along, making it an eight-person game!”

“No, Linger loves games; she’d join without hesitation!”

“We all said we couldn’t, but the only one who could beat you, Luoluo jie, and the most devious Linger, teamed up with you!”

As she spoke, Liu Yunshuang pinched Wang Haoran.

“Now, the strongest in the house are you and Luoluo jie. With you two teamed up, plus the shameless Linger helping, what can the rest of us do but let you have your way! What are you even worried about!”

“Besides, didn’t you also rush things with Lin Qingzhi?”

“How was that rushing? The next day, I told you everything in detail!”

Wang Haoran held the frowning Liu Yunshuang.

When Lin Qingzhi joined, Liu Yunshuang accepted it with a few words, but this time, it was her sister, so she was endlessly complaining.

“Hmph, no need to explain. I know you too well. Now, with Yaoyao lying down willingly, whatever you do, I have nothing to say!”

“It’s going to happen anyway; I’ve given up!”

Liu Yunshuang grew angrier the more she thought about it.

“Hmph, this silly sister! Haoran, I’ll explain things to Luoluo jie and the others. You go and make Yaoyao cry tonight!”

“…Isn’t that a bit harsh…”

“What’s harsh? You want it, she wants it, it’s consensual. Stop pretending, dragging, hesitating, and just do it. I’ve mentally prepared myself, so get it over with!”

Wang Haoran wanted to say more but was pushed away by Liu Yunshuang.

“Go, go. Don’t come to me tonight. Otherwise, the sisters will blame me for eating leftovers, and I’ll be resented for a year!”

***

That day.

Liu Yunshuang went to bed early, leaving Wang Haoran to take Liu Xinyao on a mountain adventure.

Liu Xinyao, inexperienced and naive, found everything fascinating, so Wang Haoran guided her.

They climbed mountains, crossed streams, and were mesmerized by the shallow grass by the creek.

Liu Xinyao saw the flowing stream and wanted to rest for a while.

Unfortunately, Wang Haoran didn’t agree, encouraging her, saying persistence was victory, and cheered her on!

Step by step, they moved forward. When they reached the peak, Liu Xinyao was exhausted.

At this point, she was quite different from Liu Yunshuang.

While Liu Yunshuang would sing in joy upon reaching the peak, Liu Xinyao, instead, was annoyed by Wang Haoran dragging her around. Without a word, she bit his shoulder.

Wang Haoran had to be careful not to let her break a tooth.

After such a long climb, Liu Xinyao, with sore back and legs, tired to the point of a blank mind, wanted to rest on the spot.

Drowsy and exhausted, Liu Xinyao had only one word to describe the adventure—“play.”

Torn apart, “play” translates to “Wang Er’er,” the second son of the Wang family, implying Wang Haoran’s brother…

And “play” can also mean playful and restless… plus “play” in its original form…

It all adds up to—Wang Haoran’s restless brother at play…

A freshman, still adept in reading comprehension techniques and forced interpretations, Liu Xinyao, feeling uncomfortable, suddenly thought of this phrase.

“Annoying~!”

She couldn’t help but bite Wang Haoran again.

“Let’s rest! If I can’t have breakfast tomorrow, jie will laugh at me!”

Seeing Liu Xinyao nearly in tears, Wang Haoran decided not to push her further.

Yaoyao was a normal person; climbing mountains should be gradual, not rushed, or it would harm her body.

Wang Haoran also stopped, snuggling with Liu Xinyao, enjoying the beautiful post-sunset scenery together.

tln : what a wonderful mountain climbing 🙂
