Chapter 138: I Think I’m All Set
No doubt about it, today Jiang Kekai had already sent her people to bring over the laptop from their home, otherwise, how boring would it be?
As for the desktop computer in the room, Jiang Kekai was just in the habit of having it built to the highest specs. After all, you can never have too much of this kind of thing, and if you’re going to play games, nothing beats a desktop.
Fighting Landlords quickly started. Xia Yu, Xia Ling, and Jiang Kekai each had a super high-end laptop in front of them. No one ever imagined that they would be using such high-spec laptops for this activity—truly… what a waste ~
Listening to the sounds of Fighting Landlords coming from the other side of the sofa, Xia Le couldn’t help but feel envious. When will he ever get his own laptop? Jiang Kekai noticed Xia Le’s expression, but she didn’t care. Envy away; after all, he shouldn’t have been so rude earlier.
The first round, the system randomly assigned the landlord, and Xia Yu was fortunate enough to be chosen.
Second round, same story, Xia Yu again. Third round, once more, Xia Yu. Fourth round, yet again, Xia Yu. Xia Yu: “…”
Xia Ling: “…..”
Jiang Kekai: “…..”
This time, Miss Jiang could no longer hold back. She placed down her laptop and then wrapped her arms around Xia Yu’s neck, “No more, no more. It’s got no game experience, Little Yu, let’s go play some other games, okay?”
“Huh?”
Seeing Xia Yu’s curious look, Jiang Kekai picked up her laptop and placed it in front of Xia Yu, “Sis has a lot of games here. Is there anything you’re interested in? Let’s play together.”
In the past, Xia Yu was quite the obedient child. Even though Xia Le often went to internet cafes, he never took Xia Yu along with him, so Xia Yu knew nothing about those big games.
So when faced with all these game icons, Xia Yu was at a loss, because he truly hadn’t played any of these before. But if he didn’t pick one, he worried he might upset Jiang Kekai.
Looking over at Jiang Kekai, who was full of anticipation, Xia Yu sighed and decided to just pick something at random. “Little Ning Sis, I’ve never played any of these. Can I try this one?”
“Sure, Xia Yu, go ahead and use my laptop. You can try any of them. If you enjoy the ones on this laptop, we can download them to yours later.” Seeing Xia Yu’s nervousness, Jiang Kekai smiled. She couldn’t understand why Xia Yu was so tense; she wasn’t going to bite him.
With that, Xia Yu started trying out the games on Jiang Kekai’s laptop, while Jiang Kekai logged into her QQ account on Xia Yu’s laptop and entered QQ Farm and QQ Ranch to steal veggies and release mosquitoes, enjoying herself immensely.
Watching this, Xia Le’s eyes were brimming with envy, because among them, he was the only one without a laptop.
But no problem, he could borrow one, right? Since he had so much free time at night, he thought he’d ask his little brother, Xia Yu, to borrow his laptop once Jiang Kekai left. He believed Xia Yu would lend him the laptop for a play.
Thus, Xia Le made up his mind: once Jiang Kekai left, he would act. Once she was gone, he wouldn’t need to be timid anymore. Time passed steadily, and soon it was already ten o’clock.
Xia Yu’s body was still recovering. Even if he didn’t want to sleep so early, Jiang Kekai insisted, “Xia Yu, it’s time. Let me take you back to your room to sleep?”
At that moment, Xia Yu was still using Jiang Kekai’s computer to test games. Hearing Jiang Kekai’s words, she realized it was already late and nodded without refusing, “Okay.”
Thus, Jiang Kekai walked Xia Yu back to their room, bringing both laptops.
Xia Le was a bit dumbfounded by this scene. Was Miss Jiang really going to sleep with her little brother? Unbelievable!
After glancing at Xia Ling playing with the laptop next to him, then looking toward Xia Yu’s room direction, Xia Le waited until Jiang Kekai and Xia Yu were safely in the room and closed the door before he dared to ask Xia Ling in a whisper, “Little Ling, when is Miss Jiang going to leave?”
Xia Ling looked up at her brother and replied, “I don’t know. But lately, she’s been staying here.”
“Does this mean she’s sleeping with Xia Yu?” Xia Le was incredulous.
“Yep. Didn’t you notice how good she treats Xia Yu? There’s nothing we can do since she wants to stay close to Xia Yu.”
Even though he guessed the answer, Xia Le was still shocked. Did this mean Miss Jiang fancied his little brother? How could she like a boy who looked so feminine and frail?
Puzzled, Xia Le thought hard but finally gave up. However, he still craved a laptop.
He looked back at Xia Ling with a pleading smile on his face. “Little Ling, can I borrow your laptop for a night?”
“No way.”
Xia Ling gave zero face to her brother and carried her laptop back to her room. Besides fearing her brother might accidentally break it, she also didn’t want to share her precious gaming time.
After all, it was a close to 100,000 yuan laptop with top-notch configuration that ran smoothly. Xia Ling was quite pleased.
Seeing his sister refuse to lend him her laptop, Xia Le’s expression turned increasingly dejected—he really wanted one of his own. Xia Hong watched his son’s interaction. Perhaps to make himself feel better, Xia Hong said, “Alright, Xia Le, I’ll take you to buy one tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Xia Le instantly regained his spirits. He became excited, “Really? How much would it cost?”
Hearing his child’s straightforward question, Xia Hong felt a bit annoyed. Had his son lost all sense of manners? Could he really not frame his questions better?
Still, Xia Hong patiently answered his firstborn, “Yes, but we’ll see what suits your fancy tomorrow.”
“Great.”
Upon hearing his father’s words, Xia Le’s joy was indescribable. He started to anticipate tomorrow.
Seeing such an enthusiastic response from his eldest son, Xia Hong sighed helplessly, hoping his son would mature soon. He would provide whatever resources he could.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Xia Le continued asking his father, “Dad, why is Xia Yu always wearing skirts now? And how did she get injured?”
Hearing this, Xia Hong looked towards Xia Yu’s room and sighed. Habitually, he went for his cigarette and lighter, but he remembered his wife hated smoke.
Frustrated, Xia Hong abandoned this thought.
“Kidnapping, just forget about it. As long as Xia Yu is safe now, it’s okay. You’re her older brother; take care of her and keep a watchful eye.”
“What about Miss Jiang? Why is she living here?”
Xia Hong sighed again, “I don’t know what she’s thinking. Ever since she left the hospital, Xia Yu brought her here and her parents agree.”
Wang Wenjuan listened to the conversation between father and son, afraid they would uncover Xia Yu’s situation. Fortunately, they remained oblivious.
Seeing an opportunity, Wang Wenjuan hurriedly sent Xia Le away, “Xia Le, it’s late, and you’re still growing, go back to bed.”
“Okay.”
Like his siblings, Xia Le heeded his mother’s guidance. Picking up his phone, he returned to his room. Whether he slept or not was his own business…
Meanwhile, in the hospital, Lin Jie received detailed information about Xia Yu and Xia Ling from his followers. The specifics included their birth dates, addresses, ID numbers, medical records, grades, and evaluations from teachers after being kidnapped for half a year and reappearing.
These details were provided after Lin Jie asked his father to pull every string he could, indicating how crucial this information was.
However, the unexpected discovery was Xia Yu’s gender. Initially, Lin Jie believed Xia Yu was a cute girl and nearly wanted to pursue her, but found out she was actually a boy.
Realizing this, the question of why Xia Yu used the men’s bathroom made sense.
Sorting through the information on Xia Yu and Xia Ling, Lin Jie gathered a few key points: They were transferring to Peng City for school. This was a rare opportunity for his plans.
Previously, Lin Jie might not have acted so boldly with such adorable twin sisters. Now, knowing Xia Yu was a cross-dressing master, Lin Jie’s interest in Xia Yu and Xia Ling diminished.
With two insiders close to Jiang Kekai, monitoring her actions, Lin Jie felt victorious was within reach.
Tossing aside the dossier, Lin Jie made a phone call to his father, Lin Hai. “Dad, I think I’m all set. I’m ready to leave the hospital.”
