“Ah? Alright, I understand.”

A bomb seemed to explode on Liu Sisi’s face, making it feel like all the blood in her body had rushed to her face. She was utterly embarrassed!

The hot source pressing against her back, even if she was innocent, in a world full of media and pervasive advertisements, she very clearly understood what it was!

But it was so scorching hot, it felt as if it was going to burn the skin of her back. She couldn’t bear it and instinctively twisted her body, trying to escape from this embarrassing situation.

Suddenly, a gasp was heard from beside her ear. Immediately after, her body was encircled tighter than before.

“Stop moving! If you keep moving, I can’t guarantee that we won’t do something else tonight! Close your eyes and sleep now!”

The deep male voice echoed in her ears, frightening her to instantly close her eyes tight, not daring to move any further.

Though she initially thought she couldn’t fall asleep, a while later, she gradually drifted off to sleep. Even in her sleep, Liu Sisi wasn’t well-behaved. In her previous life, she was used to hugging a pillow while sleeping.

When the weather turned cooler in the middle of the night, she unconsciously turned over. Her hands and feet automatically latched on to Di Yelei as if he was a big huggable pillow. She slept blissfully.

Although she seemed to be peacefully asleep, it was giving Di Yelei a hard time. With a face full of frustrated desire, he countless times pulled away the hands and feet that automatically latched on to him, staying awake till dawn.

Liu Sisi woke up from a deep sleep, only to find that Di Yelei was no longer beside her.

Liu Sisi quickly got up from bed, stepped out of the room and looked around, but saw no one. She walked into the kitchen and saw smoke swirling above the stove. Lifting the lid of the cooking pot, she found that food was being kept warm inside.

After splashing some water on her face to refresh herself, she rinsed her mouth with a willow twig, casually tied her thick black hair into a ponytail, and then headed back to the kitchen – not because she was unwilling, but simply because she didn’t know how to do a traditional Chinese hairstyle.

Just as she turned her head, she saw two little heads peeking out from the corner of the wall. Noticing her gaze on them, they quickly retreated.

“Is that you, Xuan’er and YingEr? Come on out, I see you!”

Liu Sisi, in a playful mood, deliberately teased the two little ones.

Indeed, following her words, two figures slowly emerged from behind the corner of the wall and came towards Liu Sisi, one step at a time.

“Are you two hiding there to play hide and seek?”

Di Xuan held Di Ying tightly and bit his lip without speaking, whereas Di Ying beside him shook her head.

“No? Then why are you hiding there? Come on in quickly, let’s go and eat.” While speaking, Liu Sisi reached out her arms towards the two children.

“We don’t want to go with you! Second Aunt said you’re a bad woman and told us to stay away from you!”

Liu Sisi heard the little girl, Di Ying, blurt out. Di Xuan, standing next to her, wanted to cover her mouth but it was too late.

His face became pale. Recalling what Second Aunt said before, once Dad found a stepmother, they would end up hungry and cold, get beaten every day. He didn’t mind taking a beating, but YingEr was so little, if she were to be beaten…

“Don’t hit my little sister, hit me instead! I’m the brother.”

The little child was shaking all over but remained stubborn, firmly protecting his little sister behind him with no intention of backtracking.

“Who is Second Aunt?”
