Chapter 318: Chapter 319 Same Bed, Siblings, and Night Chat (Part 1)

“Now… Do you still not have any news about your elder sister?” I felt that Dong Xiaoye’s elder sister was a very irresponsible person. No matter what reason she had for running away from home, as someone’s daughter, how could she not tell her family anything in the last fifteen years? I really didn’t think it was worth it for Dong Xiaoye. This stubborn woman actually wanted to find her at the expense of her precious time…

Maybe she was already…

“She is in Bei Tian City, and she definitely has a pretty good life,” Dong Xiaoye’s sadness disappeared. Instead, she was determined and confident. “My family is living in the neighboring city, but my elder sister used to study in Bei Tian City. It was the school where your dad teaches. Since she ran away from home, my family would receive money every three months. And the banks where the money was sent from were all in Bei Tian City. In the first few years, she would send a few hundred yuan every time, and then the money she sent gradually increased.

“In recent years, she may have noticed that I was looking for her, so she changed from sending money every three months to every six months. But every time she sent money, it was at least ten thousand. At the end of last year, my dad fell and injured his arm and was admitted to the hospital. She actually sent sixty thousand yuan in a single transfer. She knew everything about the situation at home. From this, it can be seen that she didn’t go far at all. But she is probably still angry, that is why she still hasn’t come back home.”

‘Oh, so she is still alive…’ I blushed and scolded myself for thinking that her elder sister might have already died. I didn’t expect that her elder sister still cared about her family. But I was puzzled, “you know that she has been sending money from Bei Tian City, but you still can’t find her?”

“Hmph, you are underestimating her too much,” Dong Xiaoye looked at me disdainfully. “my elder sister looks stupid, but she’s actually smarter than anyone else. She deliberately left her trace just to tell us that she has a good life, and we don’t need to worry about her. But if you want to find her, it will be very difficult. Every time she sent money, she would ask others to go to the bank to do it for her…” When she talked about her elder sister, her eyes were full of admiration and pride.

“Then can’t you find this person and ask this person where your elder sister is…”

Dong Xiaoye said with a long face, “I’ve asked, but she won’t admit it. That person is her university classmate and best friend. She is very tight-lipped. After graduating from university, she opened a plush toy store. She said that my elder sister has also invested some money into her store. She even took out a bunch of documents for me to see, saying that the money she sent to us originally belonged to my elder sister’s share of the profit…

“My elder sister eloped with a man before even graduating from university. So how would she have the money to partner with her to open a shop? We all know that she was lying, but we can’t do anything to her. After all, we were the ones who were in the wrong.”

The topic seemed to be getting further and further away, but seeing Dong Xiaoye sighed with a wry smile, I couldn’t help but curiously asked, “you were in the wrong? She concealed your elder sister’s whereabouts, why are you in the wrong?”

Dong Xiaoye shook her head helplessly. I couldn’t tell whether she was regretful or ashamed, “You don’t know, when my dad drove my elder sister out, her friend used to beg my dad not to be so unfeeling. But in the end? My dad not only didn’t hear a word, but he used his shoes to hit her and drive her out of my house. Moreover, he even scolded her in front of our neighbors, saying that she was shameless. She was still a girl at that time…”

Dong Xiaoye’s face was full of complicated expressions. As a daughter, it was not her place to educate and criticize her father, especially in front of me, an outsider. In the end, she held it back and didn’t express her dissatisfaction. She just sighed slightly, “he is also a teacher, but my dad is far from being as reasonable as your dad. He cares a lot about his face. He would rather drive his daughter out of his house to prove his integrity.”

Dong Xiaoye’s father was also a teacher? As a teacher, he actually used shoes to hit a girl who begged him to go easy on his daughter… It was such a disgrace to the educated class. If my friend was treated like this, I would also run away from home…

“So, your elder sister didn’t run away from home, but your father kicked her out of the house? Why? Did she do something that made him angry?”

Hearing this, I actually felt sorry for Dong Xiaoye’s elder sister again.

“Didn’t I tell you before? She eloped with a man before she finished college, but she was dumped by that scumbag and went home with a little kid. My dad felt that he had lost his face. He said he would never raise the kid for that man, and he would never admit that the kid was his granddaughter, so he gave my elder sister two choices, either send the child to the orphanage or leave his house with the child. Then my elder sister left with the kid…”

Dong Xiaoye said this in a flat tone, but I could imagine the complicated scene where a father threatened his daughter to abandon his granddaughter… Perhaps, this was one of the most serious family problems.

I could feel Dong Xiaoye’s resentment. It was like there was a thin black mist behind her. Obviously, she did not blame her elder sister, but her father, who cared more about his face than his own daughter and granddaughter.

That old man was indeed really unreasonable. He was not worthy of being a father at all…

“The only thing that my elder sister takes after my dad is his stubbornness…”

Sister Tiger seemed to be in no position to say this. After all, she was also very stubborn. She even said that she would not find a boyfriend before she found her elder sister. I faintly felt that the reason why Dong Xiaoye liked little girls like Chu Yuan and Dongfang most likely had something to do with her elder sister’s daughter.

“Eh? What were we saying just now? Why are we talking about my elder sister all of sudden?” Dong Xiaoye came to her senses, blushing a little, and scolded me unreasonably, “I’m trying to talk to you about a very serious topic, why are you always digressing? Are you interested in my personal and family affairs?”

‘Why do these words sound so familiar to me…’ Anyway, I stopped prying into her family affairs and said with a smile, “Okay, let’s talk about business, you were saying…”

“What did I say…” Dong Xiaoye was dazed for a moment, probably because she had forgotten the previous topic. Then her face suddenly turned red, and as if she wanted to take out her embarrassment on me, she stared at me angrily and asked fiercely, “if the third lady is not the Xiao Zi you know, who do you think she will be? And why would she do such a thing for you?”

She could actually remember the topic again… My heart, which had just relaxed a little, tightened again…

Whether it was a serious topic or casual gossip, Dong Xiaoye and I talked about a lot of things. The more we talked, the more excited we were, and the more we wanted to talk. When we came back to our senses, it had been two hours. I was a little surprised because I was never a talkative person.

Although Dong Xiaoye always looked fierce and would like to hit people from time to time, it was undeniable that talking with her made me very relaxed. There had been too many things that bothered me recently, and it seemed like she was the only friend that I could talk to.

“By the way, what is your friend’s name?” Dong Xiaoye suddenly stopped me before returning to the room, “I will go back to the station tomorrow and see if I can check it for you.”

When I just opened the door of my room, my heart beat faster unconsciously. Perhaps because I said too much, I actually blurted out what I didn’t want to say. “Her name is… Xue Ziyuan.”

As I spoke, I subconsciously looked towards Chu Yuan on the bed. She who was hiding under the quilt obviously trembled. Whether it was me or Chu Yuan, we both always wanted to avoid remembering this name. I was a little annoyed that I had said this name.

Five years ago, Chu Yuan was in critical condition because of the owner of this name… Although, the innocent Xiao Zi didn’t know anything.

…..

“Yuan Yuan, are you asleep?” I sat on the edge of the bed and asked like a fool. Whenever Chu Yuan threw a tantrum, it would always give me a headache.

Chu Yuan didn’t want to lift the quilt. She turned over and said with a sulky tone, “yes!”

“Oh…” I didn’t find it ridiculous, instead, I was worried what I should say next after hearing that she said she was “asleep”.

“Okay then, since you are asleep, I’m going to sleep as well…”

I, who was used to sleeping naked first checked my clothes. A loose short-sleeved T-shirt, and knee-length sports shorts. Only after I checked that I was dressed properly, I got into the bed, and laid down with my back to Chu Yuan. But I didn’t feel sleepy at all.

I always felt that it was awkward to sleep in the same bed with her. Although I couldn’t tell exactly why it was awkward. Maybe it was because there was another familiar smell in the familiar bed…

After a long time, I suddenly felt Chu Yuan turn over. ‘Is this bratty girl still awake?’ Just when I was hesitating whether I should ask her, the two plump and youthful breasts were pressed onto my back, and my waist was suddenly hugged by Chu Yuan.

“Elder Brother, she’s back, right?” Chu Yuan whimpered, seemingly afraid. Hearing this, my originally tense body suddenly became weak like a deflated balloon, and the thought of wanting to pull myself away from her hug also disappeared.

“Who’s back?”
