Leah walked over, leaning against the headboard with a little red face and said, "You perverted brother-in-law, all you ever think about are these dirty things all day long."

"If you want to bathe together, go find second sister. I definitely don't want to."

He leaned on the bed, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and put on a melancholy pose, speaking with grave sincerity, "Leah, how is this dirty?"

"Lovebirds frolicking in the water is a traditional and beautiful thing. Haven't you seen how people in couples like to describe it that way?"

"Besides, bathing together saves on water bills. We aren't a wealthy family, we must emphasize thrift and economy, you know?"

"And it's environmentally friendly too, look at all the benefits it has..."

Leah's face reddened, and she was also amused into a giggle. After fetching a basin of warm water, she sat down beside Luis and scolded playfully, "Stinky brother-in-law, stop talking nonsense."

"Put that cigarette out. Let me properly wipe all this off your head first."

"OK."

Luis immediately extinguished the cigarette, carefully observing his sister-in-law's expression. There was no special reaction, just that same shy feeling.

If it were before, if Luis smoked in the living room, she would frown from afar, her delicate brows furrowed, her face full of disdain.

But now, even at such a close distance, she didn't find it annoying. She only told Luis to put it out because it seemed like it would be in the way. One could say the change in her mindset was like night and day, completely renewed.

Luis stubbed out the cigarette and lay down obediently. Leah sat beside him, wrung out the towel, leaned down, and carefully started wiping the dirt from her brother-in-law's face.

Luis stubbed out the cigarette and lay down obediently. Leah sat beside him, wrung out the towel, leaned down, and carefully started wiping the dirt from her brother-in-law's face.

There were dried bloodstains, dust, and some other unidentifiable grime, so she wiped with extra care.

The nurse had basically just disinfected the wound, sutured the main parts, and applied some hemostatic solution with a band-aid to the less critical areas, not doing a very thorough cleaning job.

So some spots were still quite dirty. Leah was being extremely meticulous. Worried she might feel shy or nervous, Luis closed his eyes.

He could feel his sister-in-law's face was extremely close to his, the gentle exhalation from her little mouth carrying a sweet, orchid-like fragrance that made his heart itch with unbearable anticipation.

Her hair was tied in a ponytail, but a few stray strands mischievously brushed against his skin, making Luis feel a little ticklish and increasingly stirred.

"Alright, brother-in-law!"

After finishing the careful wiping, Leah let out a long sigh, as if she had just completed some sacred task, and immediately took the basin to the bathroom first.

After opening his eyes, Luis thought for a moment, then lit another cigarette. He wanted to further test his sister-in-law's attitude towards him, to see exactly how much her mindset had changed after the favorability meter reached 90%.

Leah came out and, seeing Luis smoking, just pouted and said coquettishly, "Brother-in-law, will you die if you don't smoke for a while? Second sister is pregnant now, you can't let her inhale your secondhand smoke."

"I only smoke when she's not here. I never smoke in the room when she's around."

Luis's eyes shifted, he patted the spot next to him and grinned mischievously, "Leah, come here for a second, we need to discuss something."

"What is it!"

After a brief hesitation, Leah walked over without resistance and softly lay down next to Luis, not seeming to mind at all that her brother-in-law was blowing smoke.

You have to understand, before she used to say she hated the smell of smoke the most. Her mouth wasn't as sharp and mean as her Mother-in-law's, but fearing she might show displeasure, Luis always made sure to wash the ashtray spotlessly clean.

He even smoked very rarely at home just to avoid offending her. So this small detail made Luis very aware that his status in his sister-in-law's heart had undergone a qualitative improvement.

Luis pulled gently on her soft, slender arm. Leah, blushing, rested her head on Luis's thigh, squirming slightly but not resisting.

Luis proceeded step by step, immediately starting to caress her little face, in a very intimate and doting manner.

It was the first time they were alone together in a relatively relaxed state. To divert her attention, Luis said with a smile, "About these injuries, the wounds are a bit smaller. But still, we have to say something to your mom and your second sister."

"Ah, we have to tell them first?"

"Ah, we have to tell them first?"

Leah's cute little face instantly looked as bitter as a gourd. If her mother and sister found out about this, she would be finished.

Never mind that she'd gotten the brother-in-law, who currently held the highest status in the household, injured. Just the fact that she went to the KTV was something she couldn't explain to her sister and mother. In this traditional family, such a thing was like a terrifying monster.

Especially since her brother-in-law got injured, the result would definitely be that she'd be scolded to death.

Knowing what she was worried about, Luis took the initiative and said, "Don't worry, baby, I'll keep the secret about you and Avery. I absolutely won't let your second sister or our mom know."

"Really?"

Leah's eyes lit up adorably, but then she said worriedly, "Then how will you explain your injury? You definitely can't hide it from my second sister."

Saying this, she felt a bit jealous and sour inside. Her second sister and brother-in-law had always been a model loving couple with an exceptionally good relationship, and her second sister was a very observant and meticulous person.

It was absolutely impossible for her not to notice an injury on her husband's head, and she would definitely investigate it thoroughly.

The more the little girl thought about it, the more anxious she became. And just then, Luis's phone rang—it was his wife, Lily, calling.

Speak of the devil. Leah was startled, her face full of unease, but she still obediently handed the phone to Luis.

"Hey, wife!"

Normal phones allow setting different ringtones for different callers.

But only young girls tend to bother with such flashy, fancy features.

Men, especially a straightforward, oblivious straight guy like Luis, don't bother with such childish things.

Logically, a practical woman like Lily wouldn't either.

But she couldn't help it, she was a love-struck romantic fool.

Women, young and old, who doesn't love beauty? Who doesn't like romance? The difference lies in where that romance comes from.

If it's from a disliked, unattractive man, it's sexual harassment. If it's from a handsome husband she deeply loves, even a small, childish gesture can move her to tears.

Before getting the System, Luis was such a rigid straight guy that he wouldn't even download ringtones, using only the system's default ones.

But once, unable to resist Lily's coaxing, he downloaded a song she liked best and set it as her exclusive ringtone. It was really a small thing, and Luis was even a little impatient about it at the time.

Yet Lily was happy for several days, boasting about it to everyone she met, even daring to show off to her harsh and rigid Mother-in-law, Ruth.

Others rolled their eyes, calling it boring and childish, but she was so happy she'd wake up laughing in her dreams. For her, this little bit of romance was enough to bring her joy for a long time.

So the moment the phone rang, Leah knew it was her second sister calling.

Luis smirked lewdly, pulling his anxious sister-in-law into his arms and letting her soft body rest against his chest.

Leah blushed but did not resist. At this moment, she desperately wanted to prick up her ears and hear clearly what her sister was saying.

After all, she was very worried about getting scolded for this matter.

After all, she was very worried about getting scolded for this matter.

"Honey, it's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Luis took the opportunity to wrap his arms around his sister-in-law's body.

Soft, fragrant, and fleshy, the unique softness of a high school girl felt particularly comfortable. He could clearly sense it even through their clothes.
