Pei Lianxue stared at Feng Yu Die's face expressionlessly without even blinking.

After a while, she finally answered. "I just finished taking a bath. What are you doing here?"

"Well, actually... Isn't Li Feng going to make a move? I'm here to report the news, hehe..." Feng Yu Die giggled, then added coyly, "By the way, I'm also here to see you, Sister Pei. I missed you."

*You mean you missed my husband*... Pei Lianxue narrowed her eyes slightly. "Missed me?"

"Well... we haven't seen each other for a long time. You and Young Master Ye left in a hurry this afternoon, and I didn't even have time to greet you."

"Oh..."

Pei Lianxue responded lightly, then took Ye Anping's hand, and said, "Husband, I'm sleepy. Let's go to bed."

Ye Anping had the feeling that something was wrong with his sister, but he couldn't pinpoint what. Just now, she even came to play a prank and scare him. However, he didn't think much of it and grabbed her by the face. "Don't scare people anymore, okay?"

"...I'm not that scary."

"Huh--" Ye Anping shook his head and sighed, then turned to Feng Yu Die. "Go find yourself a place to sleep. If the maid or the guards ask, just say that Young Master Jiang invited you here. Be careful not to give the wrong last name."

"No problem."

Feng Yu Die grinned, but after looking at the two people holding hands, she suddenly remembered what she had discussed with Ye Anping and hastily spoke again. "By the way, Sister Pei... I just discussed it with Young Master Ye."

?

Ye Anping was taken aback. "What?"

"It's that matter we talked about." Feng Yu Die blinked and explained, "Sister Pei, how about Young Master Ye being your first husband and me being your second husband?"

?

Pei Lianxue's jaw dropped, and for a while, she couldn't react. She looked at Ye Anping blankly as if waiting for him to explain what he meant.

Utterly speechless, Ye Anping simply ignored Feng Yu Die's words and pulled his sister toward the bedroom.

Watching the two people walk around the corner of the corridor, Feng Yu Die scratched the back of her head and let out a sigh.

It seemed that Ye Anping was not willing to form Sister Pei's harem with her.

"Still, I think this was really a good idea..."

Feng Yu Die shrugged slightly, looked at her ***Black Star*** Sect uniform soaked by the rain, and shivered. After looking around, she went inside to change clothes and rest.

...

Ye Anping returned to the bedroom slightly depressed, took off his coat, and hung it on the coat rack. He then looked at his sister, whose wet hair made her look a little disheveled, and pulled her to sit at the dressing table. He took out a new towel from his storage bag.

"Here, let me dry your hair."

"Uhm..."

Pei Lianxue nodded, straightened her back obediently, and let her long, thick hair in Ye Anping's hands. At the same time, she kept thinking about what Feng Yu Die had just said about "first husband" and "second husband".

After thinking for a while, she looked at the bronze mirror on the dressing table and scrutinized Ye Anping's reflection. "Husband..."

"Don't ask." Before she could finish asking, Ye Anping interrupted directly. "Don't ask about the first husband and the second husband, I can't explain it. If you want to know, then you can ask the person who said it."

"...Oh."

Pei Lianxue nodded, thought for a moment, and asked again, "So, husband, do you want to be my first husband?"

"First husband?" Ye Anping raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? You also want a second husband?"

"Woo"

Pei Lianxue shook her head like a rattle, spreading the water in her hair everywhere.

Ye Anping, who was splashed all over, quickly grabbed her head: "Stop shaking your hair. It's not dry yet."

"Um..."

Ye Anping raised his head and looked at his sister in the mirror. "Don't think about having a second husband in the future, or I will have to teach you a lesson."

"Eh?"

"You only have one husband, do you understand? There is no second, third, or fourth husband."

Pei Lianxue tilted her head and looked at Ye Anping's face behind her. "My husband can only be my big brother?"

"Hiss-- what did you understand..." Ye Anping felt helpless and flicked her forehead. "A brother is a brother, not a husband. You girl, can't you tell the difference when you play house?"

"..."

Pei Lianxue rubbed her forehead but said nothing.

After waiting for Ye Anping to dry her hair with the towel, Pei Lianxue climbed onto the bed, lay down, and then patted the bed, urging him to hurry up.

Tap tap tap---

Ye Anping sighed again, feeling really helpless.

He realized that his little sister had much to learn about the relationship between men and women.

It was all his fault. In the past, all his energy was focused on his sister's training, and he neglected educational health courses.

Ye Anping put out the lanterns in the room, then climbed into the bed next to his sister. "After a few days when things have calmed down, remember to take that little... comic book and find Sister Xiao to explain the content to you. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask her until you have everything clear. Got it?"

"Yes..."

Pei Lianxue nodded, turned sideways, and wriggled into Ye Anping's arms like a maggot, hugging him.

"Hug."

Ye Anping exhaled softly. He pulled up the quilt to cover her, leaned closer, and whispered in her ear. "Why does it seem that the older you get, the more seductive you act?"

"Can't I do that?"

Ye Anping didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"It's not that you can't, but I still see a little girl who hasn't grown up."

Pei Lianxue raised her head slightly and met Ye Anping's eyes. "I have already reached maturity."

"But you don't seem mature to me, more like a girl of Ating's age."

"...Oh."

Pei Lianxue puffed out her cheeks, slightly arched her body, and lightly kicked Ye Anping's calf as if complaining, which he found amusing.

"Good night, sister."

"Good night."

Pei Lianxue answered softly, pulled the quilt up to her nose, and then touched her flat belly.

She had already been with her "husband" for several months, but why was there still no baby?

Didn't the elders of the ***Hundred Lotus*** Sect say that a baby could appear within two to three months into the marriage?

Could it be that her husband was sterile or could she be infertile?

Or was the hug not tight enough?

"..."

Pei Lianxue hesitated for a while, then strangled Ye Anping's waist with a little more force and squeezed into his arms.

?

Ye Anping, who had already closed his eyes, felt the pressure on his waist and suddenly opened his eyes.

"Hiss--"

*Click*---

Hearing the mournful sound of his lumbar spine, Ye Anping held his breath and took a moment to calm down. He lifted the blanket, looked at the little sister in his arms, and shook his head helplessly.

Let her strangle him as much as she wanted, he would just put himself back together in the morning.

After all, he won't die from it. Just treat it as practice.

What could he do if his beloved little sister liked to strangle him?
