Chapter 133: Already 18 Years Old
At 10 p.m., Songhu Tiandi.
After Shen Yuan had taken a shower, he changed into the pajamas Chen Na had bought for him and was now lying on the bed, scrolling through his phone.
Meanwhile, Chen Na and Shen Xuan, the sisters-in-law who hit it off instantly, were still chatting in the living room despite the late hour.
Shen Yuan had no idea where they found so many topics to talk about.
It wasn't until 10:30 that Chen Na carefully opened the bedroom door.
Seeing the dim light from the phone screen, Chen Na knew that Shen Yuan hadn't fallen asleep yet. She tiptoed over and sat on the edge of the bed, slightly apologetic, "Sorry, we just got carried away talking."
"It's okay."
Shen Yuan yawned; he was actually getting sleepy.
"Tomorrow morning we need to pick up my sister. You remember, right?"
Chen Na gently reminded.
"Yes, I remember."
Shen Yuan thought to himself that picking up his sister-in-law was an important affair, impossible to forget.
"So, what would you like for breakfast tomorrow? Still the fitness meal?"
Chen Na asked again.
"Yes, that's right."
Speaking of the fitness meal, Shen Yuan remembered that he had missed his fitness class today and wouldn't be able to attend tomorrow morning either. It looked like he had to intensify his training the day after he returned.
The two-year experience card from Peang Yuyan, he thought, was very tempting.
After a moment of silence, Chen Na suddenly slipped her hand under the blanket and said shyly with her head lowered, "So... do you need my help with anything?"
The bedroom lights were off, and the only illumination came from Shen Yuan's phone and the bright moonlight spilling through the window, casting a hazy glow around the room.
All the sleepiness vanished from Shen Yuan in an instant, and he couldn't help but lift his head and glance at Chen Na, who was awkwardly fumbling beneath the blanket with her pretty face bashfully lowered.
"Nana, let's try something new," said Shen.
"What's new?"
Chen Na blinked her lovely eyes, not understanding.
Shen Yuan lifted the blanket and pressed her head down, "Hold still."
"Mmmm...."
....
The next morning, after consuming the fitness meal prepared by Chen Na, Shen Yuan was ready to head to Ling County.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xuan also expressed her wish to come along. However, Shen Yuan certainly didn't want his sister to ruin the mood, so he promptly refused and asked her to stay home and keep her sister-in-law company.
Shen Xuan grumbled a bit but agreed to stay at home.
On the empty highway, as Shen Yuan held the steering wheel, he listened to Liang Bo's 'The Sunset Path' while driving towards Ling County.
"We search in the middle of this road.."
"We get lost on both ends of this route.."
"Each time the sunset paints everything..."
Ling County.
Yooi Shufen and Chen Yongxiang were at home helping their younger daughter prepare things to take to Star City.
After learning of their elder daughter Nana's pregnancy, the old couple were overjoyed and had called frequently over the past few days to check in.
Since their younger daughter was also heading to Star City, they went early in the morning to buy groceries including beef, chicken, duck, fish, eggs, and a lot of fruits, which were perfect to bring along to nourish their elder daughter.
"Xinyu, when you get to your sister's place, make sure you help her with the housework, you understand? She is pregnant now and needs to rest; she shouldn't be doing hard labor."
Yooi Shufen instructed while packing the groceries.
"I understand," Chen Xinyu replied softly.
"I heard from Nana that your brother-in-law will hire a housekeeper, so there probably won't be much housework to do," Chen Yongxiang mentioned.
To this, Yooi Shufen had a different opinion, "I actually think there's no need for a housekeeper. If they really needed someone to cook and clean, I could go there myself, and we could save the money we would otherwise give to the housekeeper."
Chen Yongxiang shook his head, "Young people have their own living space, and they definitely don't like to live with elders."
"Ah~"
Yooi Shufen sighed, "I remember when I married into your family, I lived with your parents, and didn't we live quite well back then?"
"What you're talking about is from another era, and besides, it was because there was no other choice at that time. The thinking of young people has changed with the progress of society."
"...."
After packing, Yooi Shufen and Chen Yongxiang each carried a cardboard box downstairs, while Chen Xinyu followed behind with a backpack and a small suitcase in her hand.
The trio had waited for about 5 minutes when a Benz G-Class appeared in sight. At first, they didn't think much of it as they remembered Shen Yuan drove a different car.
However, when the G-Class neatly parked in front of them and Shen Yuan was sitting at the driver's seat, they were quite surprised.
Once out of the car, Yooi Shufen asked incredulously, "Shen, did you change cars?"
"Yes."
Shen Yuan smiled and then walked to the back of the car to open the trunk.
"This car isn't cheap, right?"
Yooi Shufen couldn't help but take a few more glances, and at that moment, Chen Yongxiang explained, "This is a Benz G-Class, it must cost around two to three million."
"About that."
Shen Yuan replied offhandedly, not one to show off in front of his parents-in-law.
Yooi Shufen and Chen Yongxiang exchanged looks, clicking their tongues in surprise. It hadn't been long, and he had already bought a new car.
Speaking of which, they too had benefited greatly from their son-in-law, not only moving to a new house but also buying an Audi.
Their relatives and neighbors were very envious when they found out, all admiring how well the Chen family had raised their daughter.
"When one prospers all will profit," this saying wasn't just for show.
Chen Xinyu stood quietly by, watching her brother-in-law move things.
Shen Yuan glanced over inadvertently.
Today, she wasn't in her school uniform but was wearing a white T-shirt that, thanks to her well-nourished frame, gave her an explosive visual imprint due to her busty figure.
What exactly did this girl eat to grow up?
Could it be that the parents gave Nana different food?
Shen Yuan pondered for a moment, then reached out to help Chen Xinyu with her suitcase.
Chen Xinyu, feeling a bit embarrassed, dodged a bit, "Brother-in-law, I can handle it myself."
Shen Yuan didn't insist. Chen Xinyu's small suitcase wasn't heavy, and she lifted it with both hands, tiptoeing to place it in the trunk.
But the moment she lifted it, her hands accidentally touched her lower hem, and a pair of big white rabbits reacted to the touch, immediately jumping twice.
Shen Yuan's eyelids twitched; they indeed looked very snug.
Chen Xinyu hadn't expected this to happen. Her delicate cheeks immediately flushed red, and after setting down the suitcase, she quickly climbed into the car.
Shen Yuan couldn't help but laugh silently—this little girl had quite a thin skin.
At this point, Chen Yongxiang and Yooi Shufen also noticed their daughter's unusual behavior. Xinyu was always shy around people she wasn't familiar with.
Yooi Shufen continued advising by the passenger side, "Xinyu, try not to bother your sister and brother-in-law too much when you get there, and help your sister with the household chores."
Shen Yuan thought that his sister-in-law wouldn't be any trouble at all, though these words were obviously intended for him to hear.
Then he closed the trunk and sat in the driver's seat, saying, "Dad, mom, we're heading out now."
"Alright, drive safely. We're entrusting Xinyu to you. She's not much of a talker; please be patient with her on the way."
Chen Yongxiang reminded him somewhat worriedly.
"Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of our Xinyu."
Shen Yuan intentionally teased him a bit.
Chen Yongxiang's mouth twitched, feeling a hint of unease.
It wasn't until the Benz G-Class was out of sight that Chen Yongxiang finally sighed, "I just don't know if it was right to let Xinyu go over to her sister's place."
Yooi Shufen was somewhat puzzled, "Is there anything inappropriate about it?"
"Ah~ Nothing."
"...."
Once again, the Benz G-Class hit the highway, only this time Shen Yuan's co-pilot seat wasn't empty but occupied by his bashful and nutritious sister-in-law.
But she was on the shy side and, due to the earlier mishap, even more embarrassed, her cheeks still bright red, her head hung low without speaking.
"Xinyu, did you perform well in your college entrance exams?"
Shen Yuan started a conversation.
"Um... it should be alright, I guess."
Chen Xinyu replied softly, her head still down.
"Which colleges are you thinking of applying to?"
"Um... Star City, maybe..."
"Star City is great; your sister and I are both there, and you won't need to board since you can just live with your sister. We kept a room for you."
Upon hearing her brother-in-law's considerate plans, Chen Xinyu looked up and sneakily glanced at her brother-in-law who was driving, "I'm afraid... I'm afraid of disturbing you guys."
"There's nothing to be disturbed about. Your sister gets bored at home alone; living there, you could keep her company more. I'm often not home anyway."
"Um... then I'll ask my sister about it when the time comes."
"That's fine."
This pure-hearted girl, freshly graduated from high school, was still unaware that she had already caught the eye of the big bad wolf, who happened to be her brother-in-law.
While her brother-in-law was driving, Chen Xinyu would often steal glances at him. This young and handsome brother-in-law was younger than her sister and not much older than herself.
His features were sharply defined, and he had a mischievous smile, carrying with him a bad-boy aura from school;
Yet when he spoke to her, he was so gentle, giving her the impression that he also had that friendly older brother vibe.
The combination of these traits formed his unique charm.
Moreover, she harbored a gratitude towards her brother-in-law.
It was him who had transformed her family's life, buying a new house and a new car, making her parents respected and envied by neighbors, their faces beaming with happiness and contentment lately.
And all these were thanks to her brother-in-law.
As a result, when she saw her brother-in-law today, her heart fluttered uncontrollably.
She couldn't quite explain why this was happening—perhaps because they weren't close?
Yet with other strangers, she never felt this way.
Suddenly, for some reason, she thought of that night when her brother-in-law and her sister were doing things at home.
She shamelessly eavesdropped by the wall... even attempting to catch her brother-in-law's scent through her sister.
Thinking about this, Chen Xinyu's face heated up and turned even redder.
As Shen Yuan drove, he glanced over and wondered why her face was still so red.
Just as he was about to turn back, he suddenly noticed that a Feel-good Index appeared above her head.
[Feel-good Index: 60]
???
Shen Yuan was a bit stunned.
It wasn't there before, so why did it suddenly appear?
And I haven't even started to work my charm yet?
Has this girl developed some incredible filter for me?
Is this damn trying to tempt me into committing a crime?
Pondering for a moment, Shen Yuan suddenly asked, "Xinyu, have you gotten your driver's license yet?"
"Not yet."
"Have you reached the required age to apply for it yet?"
"I have."
Relieved by Chen Xinyu's response, Shen Yuan felt a load off his shoulders, suddenly feeling unburdened.
Yeah, just being 18 is fine.
"My sister is also planning to apply for a driver's license. You could sign up together. It's a skill you'll eventually need to master."
"Mm-hmm."
After driving for another two hours, the duo finally reached Songhu Tiandi before 1 p.m. Before entering the underground garage, Shen Yuan called Shen Xuan to come down and help with the luggage.
When Shen Xuan received the call, she came down with Chen Na, and upon seeing the beautiful girl, she involuntarily swallowed her saliva.
That big?
Then she unconsciously turned her head and looked at her sister-in-law's chest.
Experience tales with empire
This...
Are they really born from the same mother?
Finally, she looked down at herself.
Flat as a pancake, nothing to hide...
Okay great, so I'm the smallest here, right?
