Chapter 423: You Want to Go to the Women’s Toilet?
Working overtime at night can be quite boring, and Xia Le had already grown tired of looking out the window, so he turned his head towards Xia Yu, who was sitting in the back seat with Xia Ling and Jiang Hanhang, “Wanna play a game? I’ll guide you.”
If it were any other day, Xia Yu would likely have acquiesced to her older brother out of respect, not wanting to upset him.
But now… she didn’t feel that old loyalty anymore. After all, she already has her little Sister Xiao Ning, so why bother? “No thanks.”
Xia Yu lazily leaned against the window, knowing exactly what kind of game her brother had in mind, but she just wasn’t interested. She much preferred using the account her little Sister Xiao Ning topped up with cash, beating others in fancy games.
While Xia Yu wasn’t into it, Jiang Hanhang certainly was. This girl played more games than anyone else—they called her a true second-hand otaku girl: “I’ll play. So will Xiao Ling. Let’s get started. Our big sis will show us how to do it.”
Xia Ling: “…”
The car kept swaying, and Xia Ling really didn’t like playing in this kind of environment. But since Jiang Hanhang insisted, she reluctantly agreed to keep the others company.
Since Xia Ling needed to play, having someone’s head blocking her view wasn’t an option. So, she nudged Jiang Hanhang lying in front of her, “Get up! You’re getting in my way.”
“Fine.”
Jiang Hanhang got off Xia Ling, but she wasn’t about to sit and play. She turned her attention to Xia Yu and leaned over without hesitation.
Xia Yu: “Don’t do that! I’m a guy, watch out or I might take advantage!”
“Go ahead. When my sister comes back, I’ll make her teach you a lesson.”
Xia Ling rolled her eyes at Xia Yu and happily went along with the act because she knew Xia Yu well enough. There was no weapon, and in the future, it will still be their older sis who takes care of everything.
Wang Wenjuan, sitting in the passenger seat, didn’t know what to say seeing the scene unfold. She thought Jiang Hanhang’s face was just too thick. Didn’t she worry about her sister getting jealous?
Xia Hong said nothing but glanced through the rearview mirror then focused back on driving.
Inside, he was puzzled. Why did his second son get so much attention from girls? And not just any attention, but from such a capable girlfriend as Jiang Kekai.
It was fine with Jiang Kekai, but now Jiang Hanhang was also glued to Xia Yu. Could it be because Xia Yu looked feminine and girls weren’t wary of her? But what about his eldest son, Xia Le? He has height, looks, and is good-looking, at least. So why hadn’t he heard anything about Xia Le dating early? Surely it couldn’t just be because he loves gaming.
Though early dating isn’t ideal, as a parent, Xia Hong secretly looked forward to it. After all, what harm could come from that at his son’s age?
He felt relieved knowing they should handle their own affairs, and there was no point in worrying himself sick. Jiang Hanhang kept leaning on him while Xia Yu felt uncomfortable, unwilling to move.
Reluctantly, Xia Yu adjusted his position, and coincidentally ended up holding Jiang Hanhang. Not only did he become more comfortable, but so did she. The promise to avoid cuddling didn’t hold as planned.
Xia Yu didn’t notice the satisfied smile forming on Jiang Hanhang’s face. She won the battle by making Xia Yu give in first.
Feeling drowsy, Xia Yu finally drifted into a nap, enjoying the feeling more than she expected.
Until she heard her dad Xia Hong again, “We’ve arrived at the service area. Anyone need to use the restroom?”
“Mmm… Wake up!”
Xia Yu nudged the sleeping Jiang Hanhang in her arms, relieved to find an excuse to wake her. She had no idea at what point she fell asleep, pressing against her arm so firmly.
“Are we here?”
Jiang Hanhang was also disoriented, checking the phone which read two am. “Wake up! You’re crushing my hand.”
Xia Yu pushed the shameless Jiang Hanhang. Most people wouldn’t ask such a cute little loli to move, but Xia Yu was different.
“Relax, why the rush? Your neck is killing me. No thanks, Xiao Ling’s lap is much more comfy.”
Jiang Hanhang sat up, taking the chance to tease a bit. Despite her playful jab, Xia Yu knew it was meant to be harmless. Xia Hong and Xia Le heard it as normal banter. Xia Yu is a boy, so what chest?
This puzzled Wang Wenjuan and Xia Ling. They noticed something odd about Xia Yu’s chest, wondering if she needed a supplement. But Xia Yu was flustered at the remarks.
Shaking off her numb arm, Xia Yu decided not to dwell on it, joining everyone to relieve themselves. Xia Hong merely asked if anyone wanted to use the restroom, only to see everyone get out.
“Is the coast clear?”
Xia Hong caught sight of his second son’s peculiar behavior and promptly stopped him: “Still sleepy?”
Xia Yu: “…”
Now fully awake, Xia Yu realized she had been dragged along to the women’s restroom. This was likely due to her habit developed from Xia Ling and Jiang Hanhang always pulling her along to use the bathroom back in school.
Seeing Xia Yu’s befuddled and panicked reaction, Xia Hong quickly realized something was wrong. How did his son wind up at the women’s restroom? Gladly, he reacted quickly to stop her.
