Chapter 4: Drunken Words, Sober Actions
“Did I? I went to bed early last night.” Lu Li walked over to help his sister, feigning innocence. “Why do you ask, Sister Yameng?” Zou Yameng also put on an innocent face. “I smelled alcohol on your bedsheets this morning and thought I might have gone to your room and made a scene after getting drunk. That’s why I came home early to wash them.” It wasn’t just the smell of alcohol, there was also the scent of lies.
The siblings exchanged glances, both smiling, neither able to decipher the other’s true intentions. After dinner, Lu Li was clearing the table when he received a WeChat message from An Baili, asking if she could sleep over at his place tonight. She also mentioned that she had made braised pork and would bring it over as a late-night snack. Who eats braised pork in the middle of the night? Wasn’t she afraid of getting fat with such greasy food? Just as he was about to agree, Sister Yameng, who was about to leave, circled back and sat on the bed, turning on the TV. “Little Li, it’s been a while since we watched a movie together. I heard there’s a new movie…”
It was full of holes. How could she watch a movie that was still in theaters on TV? Lu Li played along. “Yeah, let’s watch a movie together.” At the same time, he sent a message to An Baili, “NO.” He hadn’t even warmed his seat on the bed when the annoying girl with the pink profile picture sent another message, “Lu Li, what are you doing?” Lu Li had no time to deal with Chen Jianing now. He simply typed “Busy,” and Chen Jianing replied with an “oh” and went silent. A second later, his phone buzzed again. It was Chu Jingyi with the golden retriever profile picture. She sent him a voice recording of a new melody. Lu Li didn’t have time to listen, but he still praised Silly Goose profusely.
Zou Yameng glanced at him, a knowing smile playing on her lips. “Little Li, you’re quite the busy man.”
“No, it’s just work stuff with my game development team.” It was all work-related, normal, perfectly normal.
Sister Yameng was acting strangely today. Lu Li felt like she was deliberately keeping her distance from him. It wasn’t exactly coldness, but she was far less affectionate than usual. She didn’t try to snatch his phone, nor did she cling to him and demand cuddles. She just sat properly on the bed, flipping through channels with the remote control.
After browsing for a while, Sister Yameng finally decided. “Let’s watch this one.”
Lu Li glanced at the screen. It seemed to be a Korean movie, a romance? His mind wasn’t on the movie. He carefully observed Sister Yameng from the corner of his eye. It was cold, and she was wearing a lamb wool jacket and loose fleece-lined jeans. Her lips were bright red, her skin snow-white, making her look youthful and beautiful. She seemed to be completely absorbed in the movie, her long eyelashes fluttering with every blink, her eyes bright and sparkling.
Sister Yameng is so beautiful. He couldn’t help but sigh.
After observing her for a long time and seeing nothing unusual, Lu Li thought he was just being paranoid. Would his sister really test him? Maybe those absurd words last night were just drunken nonsense, or some kind of truth-or-dare game? Right? Wasn’t it normal for her and Zhou Wen to play truth-or-dare after getting drunk?
Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief and turned his attention back to the TV screen. After watching for a while, he shifted uncomfortably. What was this movie about? Was this something they could show on TV? What if children saw it? The male and female protagonists were entangled naked, the lighting dim. Although there wasn’t any explicit nudity, the erotic atmosphere was palpable. And that wasn’t even the worst part. The worst part was that the male lead was passionately calling out, “Sister…”
It was a movie about a forbidden love. The male protagonist’s father remarried, and he gained a stepsister who doted on him. The male protagonist, who was bullied at school and under a lot of stress, finally turned to his ever-forgiving stepsister for comfort…
It would be one thing if he were watching this movie alone, but his own sister was sitting right next to him! He coughed awkwardly. “The lighting in this scene is quite good…” Sister Yameng didn’t answer, but she suddenly placed her long legs on his lap. Lu Li felt even more uncomfortable. Her feet were less than a fist away from his lower abdomen. He looked up at his sister and saw that she was still staring at the TV with a blank expression, as if completely captivated by the plot.
Suddenly, he heard the crisp sound of a button being undone. Sister Yameng was unbuttoning her lamb wool jacket, revealing the thin tank top underneath. “It’s so hot.” Hot? Lu Li glanced at the window. The north wind was howling outside, the setting sun half-hidden behind the clouds. How could it be hot? Lu Li forced himself to look away from Sister Yameng because the neckline of her tank top was very low, revealing a deep cleavage that drew his attention. Half of her full, white breasts were exposed, tempting him like Fafnir’s treasure.
He felt his gaze drawn uncontrollably to her alluring figure. He was sure he must be making a fool of himself, his face flushed with a mixture of emotions. He wanted to move Sister Yameng’s feet before things got out of hand, but as soon as he shifted, her thighs tightened, pinning him down like a vice.
What was his sister doing? Lu Li looked at her questioningly, but Zou Yameng still had a blank expression, still staring innocently at the TV. Lu Li felt that if he asked, “What are you doing, Sister?”, she would just give him an innocent and confused look. So he took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down. He started replaying all the annoying things Chen Jianing had done in his mind.
The movie reached its climax. The illicit relationship between the male lead and his stepsister was discovered by their parents, and he was kicked out of the house by his father.
Zou Yameng took off her lamb wool jacket completely, muttering, “It’s so hot.” Underneath, she was wearing a gray, low-cut tank top, the hem tucked tightly into her jeans, accentuating her curves. Sister Yameng had abs, but Lu Li had never paid much attention to them before. Her breasts were also pushed up by the tight tank top, looking like two ripe melons.
Lu Li realized, with shame, that he was reacting. He just hoped that his sister wouldn’t move her feet, otherwise she would discover his little brother’s awakening. But his hope was dashed. Zou Yameng shifted slightly, her legs moving upwards, pressing directly against Lu Li’s lower abdomen. Lu Li felt like this was the most awkward moment in his two lifetimes, even more awkward than when he insisted on using the women’s restroom as a child, more awkward than when he called a client by the wrong name at work. Sister Yameng’s heel was pressing right against his crotch. She must have noticed his embarrassing change, even without any further movement from him.
And of course, at a time like this, his teenage hormones were raging, making the situation even worse.
Despite all this, Zou Yameng continued to watch the TV calmly, wearing that tank top, as if she hadn’t noticed Lu Li’s reaction at all.
