Xiao Yiyi smiled mysteriously and swayed her ponytail as she went upstairs.

Chen Xuan touched his chin, pondering to himself. What did the little girl want from him?

Making it all so mysterious.

"Let's see what trick she's up to now!"

Chen Xuan followed her upstairs.

As he arrived at Xiao Yiyi's bedroom door, the door swung open.

Xiao Yiyi popped her head out, waved cheerfully at him, and said, "Brother-in-law, come in, are you feeling shy?"

Haha!

Chen Xuan was amused; he never felt shy whatsoever.

He followed Xiao Yiyi into the bedroom.

On the east wall, a large poster was pinned up—a sultry and enchanting female star, Ling Xiaoxiao.

"Are you a fan?" Chen Xuan chuckled.

"Yeah, I am a fan of Ling Xiaoxiao, I really love her singing."

"She's known as the Sweet Song Queen and has also starred in many movies. Didn't you know?"

Xiao Yiyi looked thrilled, "I heard she's coming to Zhonghai City for a concert next month! How about we go together?"

Chen Xuan let out a laugh, "I'm not interested in that."

"Not interested in beauties either? Ling Xiaoxiao is a great beauty!"

Xiao Yiyi looked at him slyly, "It's just you and me here, no need to hide anything without my cousin around."

Chen Xuan felt amusingly exasperated, "Just because I'm interested in beauties doesn't mean I have to be interested in Ling Xiaoxiao."

"You're such a hypocrite! I don't believe you're not interested in Ling Xiaoxiao. It's just a pity she wouldn't fancy you." Xiao Yiyi smiled mischievously.

Chen Xuan didn't reply, but he looked towards the bedside filled with plush toys.

It was full of childlike fun while also reflecting a girl's sentiments.

"So why did you call me into your room?" Chen Xuan asked.

"Oh, nothing much, just wanted to ask how things are going with my cousin?" Xiao Yiyi spread her hands, full of curiosity.

Chen Xuan shook his head slightly, finding it a bit boring.

"That's not something you should worry about, and I have no need to tell you." Chen Xuan chuckled softly and turned to leave.

Xiao Yiyi hurried to catch up, "Brother-in-law, just tell me, satisfy my curiosity."

"Haven't you heard curiosity killed the cat?"

Chen Xuan stepped out of the room, heading for his bedroom.

Xiao Yiyi followed closely behind, laughing and saying, "But I'm not a cat, am I?"

Reaching his bedroom door, Chen Xuan turned back to smile at Xiao Yiyi, "Then it's even worse!"

"Legend says cats have nine lives and can still be killed by curiosity, you only have one."

With that, he opened the door and entered his room.

Uh...

Xiao Yiyi stood there frozen, grimacing in secret.

She always ends up on the losing side with Chen Xuan.

Following him into the bedroom, Xiao Yiyi teased, "Brother-in-law, you sure know how to joke."

"So just tell me, or is there something you can't talk about?"

Saying so, she went straight to the bed and lay down, secretly placing a key under the mattress.

Chen Xuan had his back to her, not noticing Xiao Yiyi's little trick.

"I don't mind if you want to sleep here, but just a friendly reminder, I'm not some upright gentleman."

Chen Xuan grinned mischievously, deliberately trying to scare Xiao Yiyi.

Xiao Yiyi sat up, laughing, "Haha, caught in the act, aren't you!"

"What do you mean; are you implying you have thoughts about me too?"

Chen Xuan smiled, "The premise is, don't you have thoughts about me."

"My principle is, no initiation, no rejection, no responsibility, got it?"

Ew!

Xiao Yiyi commented disdainfully, "That's the typical scumbag essence!"

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Since you know, why don't you leave then?"

"Beware I'll go tell my cousin what you've been up to, make you regret it." Xiao Yiyi smiled lightly.

"That's up to you, I really don't care.

Chen Xuan wore an expression of contemptuous amusement, "Crows everywhere are the same black. I don't need to pretend to be white."

Hahaha...

Xiao Yiyi burst out in laughter, "Brother-in-law, you're really not hiding anything!"

"Alright, just for those words alone, even when I'm drunk, I'll admire you!"

Saying that, Xiao Yiyi walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind her.

Heh, success!

Xiao Yiyi smirked triumphantly, planning to embarrass Chen Xuan publicly the next morning.

Inside the room, Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head, finding the little sprite quite endearing.

He didn't think much of it and lay down to sleep.

The next morning, once everyone was up, Xiao Yiyi began to execute her plan.

"My safe's key is missing!"

Xiao Yiyi intentionally wore an anxious expression.

"Could you have left it at school?" Lin Wanxi asked.

"No, it was still in my room last night, and this morning it was gone."

Having said that, Xiao Yiyi immediately confronted Chen Xuan, "Brother-in-law Chen Xuan, did you accidentally take it with you?"

"You were the only one who visited my room last night!"
