...

"What are you doing here?" Lin Yanwan asked, a hint of delight unconsciously appearing in her eyes as she looked at Jiang Xia.

"Of course I’m here to pick you..."

BANG!

Before he could finish his sentence, the door was slammed shut.

Jiang Xia’s expression stiffened. ’Why is my dear wife slamming the door in my face?’

Lin Xiaoman furtively peeked her head out of her bedroom. "Sister, is that brother-in-law?"

"No," Lin Yanwan said firmly, her arms crossed.

"Xiao Man, it’s me! Hurry and open the door for your brother-in-law," Jiang Xia’s call came from outside at just the right moment.

Her younger sister’s face lit up, and she scurried over to open the door, but Lin Yanwan put her hands on her hips, glared at her sister, and shouted, "Don’t you dare!"

Lin Xiaoman’s tiny body froze. She turned to look at her sister with a wronged expression, her face full of unhappiness. "Oh."

Hearing the sharp command from inside, Jiang Xia felt instantly awkward. ’I thought we agreed you wouldn’t be mad? You even said you were happy, didn’t you?’

"Honey, honey, I was wrong! I’ll never lie to you again, I swear. Look, I even brought you the acceptance letter," he shouted, patting the door.

"Baby, darling, honey, wifey..."

The security door flew open. Lin Yanwan, her face flushed, glared at him, pouting. "Stop calling me that! Who’s your wife?!"

Jiang Xia grinned shamelessly. "My wife, I was wrong."

"Where’s the acceptance letter? Let me see it." Lin Yanwan stared at the brazen guy and held out her hand. If Jiang Xia dared to lie to her again, she’d grind him down to dust.

He paused for a moment, then pretended to search his pockets. "Huh? Where’s my acceptance letter? I’m sure I brought it with me when I left."

Lin Yanwan made a move to shut the door, but he quickly squeezed his way in. "Hey, hey, baby, don’t! I forgot it, I really forgot it. Look, I bought you and Xiao Man your favorite ice cream cones. Mango flavored."

The corner of her eye twitched. ’I knew it. The sweet nothings he says in bed don’t count for anything once he’s out of it. I never should have believed him.’

"Thank you, brother-in-law!"

Her younger sister happily ran over, hugging the ice cream cone with her eyes squinted into crescent moons.

"Xiao Man, can you go back to your room, please? I need to talk to your sister," Jiang Xia said, patting Xiao Man’s head.

"Okay!" his sister-in-law nodded emphatically. "Brother-in-law, I won’t peek even if you kiss my sister’s mouth!"

"..."

Lin Yanwan’s face darkened. ’Is this girl really my sister? Bribed with a single ice cream cone.’

Her little sister closed the door with a THUD, then carefully opened it a tiny crack. For some reason, her favorite thing was watching her brother-in-law bully her sister. Whether he was pinning her against the wall or pressing her down on the sofa, it was always so exciting.

"What do you think you’re doing!"

Lin Yanwan watched him warily.

"Hehe, wifey, by order of the Queen Mother, I’m here to pick you and Xiao Man up for dinner." Jiang Xia reached for her hand. Lin Yanwan struggled symbolically for a few moments but couldn’t break free.

She resigned herself to her fate.

’The solemn vow I just made not to let him hold my hand for a week, broken just like that.’

"I’m not going," she pouted.

"Come on, don’t do that. I can’t go back empty-handed. My mom said it’s a time for double happiness."

"What double happiness?"

"You got into Tsinghua University, and I got into Tsinghua University. Isn’t that a double happiness?"

"Didn’t a certain someone just say on the phone that he only received an acceptance letter from the Central Academy of Fine Arts? It seems you and Wang Ming are the ones who are truly in love. Go find him yourself."

"MWAH~"

As she was pouting haughtily, Jiang Xia suddenly pressed his lips against hers. Lin Yanwan could only let out a few weak whimpers before all the strength left her body.

Through the crack in the door, her little sister’s eyes were wide.

’Brother-in-law is amazing. He took care of my fuming sister in just a few moves.’

’Sis is so sly. She just wanted to trick brother-in-law into kissing her.’

A moment later, the two slowly parted. Jiang Xia cupped the back of his wife’s neck, their foreheads pressed tightly together. He whispered, "There, there. I don’t love anyone but you."

Lin Yanwan puckered her moist lips and hummed softly through her nose, "All you know is how to bully me with your sweet talk."

"Everything I say outside of bed is true!" Jiang Xia said earnestly.

"Pah!" Her face reddened. When he was trying to trick her into bed, he always swore he’d make it so she couldn’t get out of it. And the result? Hmph. ’Only three times a day. Who is he looking down on?’

Their noses were touching. Jiang Xia chuckled. "At my age, forget three times a day. I could handle thirty."

Her thoughts read so easily, Lin Yanwan’s face flushed with bashfulness. ’What is this shameless guy saying now? I’m not looking forward to it at all!’

’Nope, not one bit!’

’Unless he proves it, it’s all just talk!’

She took a light breath and said, feigning annoyance, "Go to hell."

’What’s so great about being young and running your mouth? She knew how to "cure" ailments, too. For instance, she could treat his neck problems by putting his feet up over his head.’

Jiang Xia chuckled and leaned in to kiss her again. This time, Lin Yanwan didn’t resist at all, even parting her lips slightly.

"Coming home with me?"

"Mhm."

"Mom and Dad are coming over after work, too. They said they want to celebrate with us."

"I know. My mom called and told me just now."

"Then why didn’t you open the door for me?"

"Hmph. Because you lied to me earlier." After saying that, Lin Yanwan lifted his chin, her eyes locked on his. "Really Tsinghua? You’re not lying?"

"Really Tsinghua!" Jiang Xia swore helplessly. "If I’m lying, may I be paralyzed from the waist down!"

Lin Yanwan silently glanced down, wondering if this "curse" was meant to punish him or her.

"Pick another one!" she fumed.

"Ahem, if I’m lying, I’ll have to drink goji berry tea every day."

Lin Yanwan was satisfied.

While she was at it, she gave it a flick to check its authenticity.

It seemed Jiang Xia really wasn’t lying.

’It felt like it could hold up the sky. A full thirty-one is much better than a mere one.’

Lin Xiaoman covered her eyes in embarrassment. ’Is this the world of adults? A kid like me doesn’t understand anything, but Sis’s face is so red.’

"Xiao Man, get ready to go."

Lin Yanwan knocked on the door, only to find that her sister’s room door swung open at the slightest touch.

Her face darkened as she spotted Xiao Man hiding behind the door. ’Was this little rascal spying on us the whole time again?’

"Don’t hit me, Sister! I didn’t see anything, I didn’t see anything at all!" Lin Xiaoman squeezed her eyes shut, covered her ears, and dove onto the bed, starting to play dead very stiffly.

Lin Yanwan’s face twitched. That performance was a dead giveaway.

’Whatever,’ she thought. She couldn’t be bothered to scold her. ’If she saw, she saw. It wasn’t like this was the first secret of theirs she knew, anyway.’

"Get up. We’re leaving. We’re going to your brother-in-law’s place for dinner tonight."

"Eh?"

Lin Xiaoman blinked, her eyes filled with ecstasy.

"Brother-in-law is the best!"

Lin Yanwan: "???"
