Chapter 304: The Glamorous Turn-Taker Woman
Watching the tiny girl wrapped up like a dumpling, Dragon Brother (male) chuckled softly. He reached out, giving her a gentle ruffle of her bundled form. “It’s okay. Before Auntie pushed back her period, we had that little thing… so no one can be sure. No big deal, really.”
“So… if Big Auntie didn’t push it back, you wouldn’t care about me?”
Hearing that, the little girl’s head poked out from her bed cover.
Eyes slightly red, she looked even more tender and delicate.
He gently pinched her little face. “Feeling any discomfort?”
Hu Yu Ying’s face, flushed with a bit of redness, added an extra dash of charm. “Well… my tummy hurts a little, and my back’s a bit sore…”
Dragon Brother (male) finished brewing some ginger sugar tea and then lay down on the bed. One hand softly pressed on her belly, while the other gently kneaded her waist.
“Take the ginger sugar water as it cools down a bit, then you can drink it.”
His big palm, warm from his hand, transferred heat onto her tummy. The uncomfortable feeling was less intense now.
“Brother Dragon, are you a little disappointed?”
“Want the truth?” Dragon Brother (male) looked at her dotingly.
“Of course.”
“Honestly, I am a little disappointed, but also a little relieved.”
“‘Cause I really want to marry you and have a kid of our own. I bet that kid will look just like you.”
“But… that means you’d have to give up your prime years, and the hard-won dreams you’ve strived to reach all these years.”
“I’m feeling guilty, but also a bit selfish…”
Hu Yu Ying looked seriously at Dragon Brother (male). Her white fingers gently pressed on his lips. “Brother Dragon, don’t say that. It’s all my choice.”
“I like Brother Dragon. The way you spoil me, the way you dote on me—it’s way more than any effort you’ve put in.”
“After you graduate, will you marry me?”
Hu Yu Ying’s face lit with a faint smile, her brows curved in a sweet crescent. “Yes.”
“Deal?” Dragon Brother (male) extended his little pinky finger.
“Aren’t you saying that’s kind of childish?” Hu Yu Ying giggled, covering her mouth.
“If it’s you, it’s not really childish,” he said softly.
Her tiny finger looped around his big finger. “Dragon Brother wants to marry Hu Yu Ying, and Hu Yu Ying wants to marry Dragon Brother. We pinky promise—no breaking our vow for a hundred years…”
After sealing that promise, the girl and her big brother exchanged looks, then burst into laughter together.
“Finish your ginger water, and then come with me to the hospital.”
“What for?”
“To find out why Auntie delayed her period—so we can avoid it next time.”
After all, before she was “eaten,” her period was punctual. But after… it became irregular. Dragon Brother (male) didn’t quite understand the science, but he cared about her, so he worried even more.
Feeling the concern from her brother, Hu Yu Ying nodded gently.
They tidied up, with her throwing on his coat.
Then he rode his e-bike, carrying her out the door.
Third floor of the hospital.
Dragon Brother (male) stood outside, waiting.
Soon after, the door opened. Hu Yu Ying stepped out, her lips pressed, face glowing with embarrassment.
“What’s wrong? Why’s your face so red?” Dragon Brother (male) hurried over, concern etched on his face. “Did the doctor say why?”
Hu Yu Ying nodded, then shook her head, whispering, “I’ll tell you once we’re outside.”
Once out of the hospital, a cool breeze kissed her cheek, and her blush gradually faded a bit.
“Okay, now you can tell me,” he prompted.
Looking at her relaxed state and demeanor, Dragon Brother (male) was sure she was fine—just a bit curious.
Hu Yu Ying lowered her eyes, fingers intertwined. “The doctor said it’s important to know—things like did I do any extreme sports, or eat something strange…”
“Then I told him about being with Brother Dragon…” she paused, blushing further. “And about crossing that line the night before… how many times it happened…”
Dragon Brother (male) coughed lightly, watching her with her head bowed and voice low. He finally understood why her face was so flushed.
When the doctor heard I did it more than thirty times in two and a half days, she chuckled and said it was no big deal—just to pay attention to my health in the future and then let me go out.
By the end, her voice was almost inaudible.
Dragon Brother (male) couldn’t help but chuckle softly at that.
One laugh was at her adorable shyness, the other was at her being fine.
Hu Yu Ying refused to look at him anymore. She lightly pinched his waist. “I told you to stop doing it so many times—you just don’t listen…”
“Alright, alright, it’s all my fault. Hit me a couple more times and get it out of your system.”
“My little girl… so good…”
For some reason, hearing Dragon Brother (male) say these words stirred a strange, inexplicable warmth in her heart.
“Brother Dragon didn’t have work today; let’s go buy some groceries. I’ll cook dinner for you.”
“Yes.” Dragon Brother (male) got on his e-bike, taking her to the market.
Compared to him, Hu Yu Ying was quite the grocery shopping pro—bargaining and all.
Everyone has their own way of living.
For someone like Hu Yu Ying, who enjoys the little joys—strolling in the market, buying ingredients, cooking a delicious meal—that’s happiness.
And happiness is contagious. So, naturally, Dragon Brother (male) was happy too.
They bought a bunch of groceries, riding back home on his e-bike. Now that it’s getting cooler, the veggies would keep fresh.
At home, Dragon Brother (male) washed and prepped the vegetables.
Hu Yu Ying lit the stove and started cooking.
Whenever they looked at each other, smiles would just burst out naturally.
“Can’t look anymore—I’ll mess up the rice if I keep staring at Brother Dragon.”
She raised her hand, covering her face, refusing to look at him.
Seeing her, Dragon Brother (male) decided, ‘This can’t go on.’
He moved closer to her. “Just last night, you had your way with me, and today you’re already acting shy? So fickle!”
Ever since their intimate moment, Dragon Brother (male) was no longer the serious, meticulous big brother he used to be.
Just then, his phone buzzed loudly.
“Wan Ning? What’s up?”
On the video screen, Lin Wan Ning looked frantic. “Brother, I heard Qing Xue say… Yu Ying’s— is it true?”
Hu Yu Ying was sitting on a small stool, fretfully muttering, “Qing Xue… such a big mouth.”
At this, her ears turned redder, and Dragon Brother (male) chuckled, saying, “Nope, just late because of my period.”
He turned the phone camera to her.
Hu Yu Ying shyly stared back at the video. “Wan Ning, don’t listen to Qing Xue’s big mouth…”
【Please, turn off the power now…】
