Chapter 182 - Family of Three (2/2)

He plunged headfirst into the night as if there was a mad dog behind him.

Xiang Yi: “…”

Her immature third brother was always so strange.

But at least she had reconciled with her third brother now, too. Thinking of this, the girl’s lips formed into a smile as her footsteps became light.

…

In the living room.

When Xiang Yi entered, Shi Sui was adjusting the projector. The screen was paused at the beginning of the film, which seemed to be a horror movie.

She just remembered they had bought the projector several years ago but had never used it.

“You want to watch a movie?”

Shi Sui turned around and raised a brow. “Xiang Qi won’t let you call me big brother, so you’re really not doing it?”

“Eh…” The girl wanted to take back her words but heard Shi Sui’s casual response. “Whatever you call me is the same.”

Xiang Yi: “Then… why don’t I just address you by your name?”

Calling him a senior seemed too strange indeed.

Calling him zaizai… She was afraid he would object.

Thinking back and forth, it seemed addressing him by his real name was the most appropriate.

Shi Sui’s eyelids drooped lazily, the light mildly reflecting around his soft silhouette. In the ray of light, an indistinct “mhm” could be heard.

“Shi Sui.”

The girl’s voice was soft. He had heard these words countless times, yet it had a different charm coming from her.

Inexplicably, it sounded even more intimate than when she had called him big brother.

He looked at her from a distance, his temperament as gentle and considerate as always. However, a faint flicker appeared in his dark eyes.

“Wanna watch a movie?” He asked.

“Okay, I’ll go get the popcorn!”

…

Waiting for Xiang Yi to return with her homemade milk-flavored popcorn.

Shi Sui poured out two glasses of juice and mixed a bowl of goat milk for Xiao Naofu.

Xiang Yi’s slow brain twitched for a moment and blurted out, “Aren’t we like a family of three, watching a family-friendly movie together.”

The room went quiet for a moment.
