Chapter 499: Growing a Girlfriend in Summer

Chapter 499: Growing a Girlfriend in Summer (Update 2)

“Prepare for surgery.”

Xiao Yu sat earnestly by the crib, watching the little Baby in the bed.

“All set.”

Mu Qingwu stifled her laughter as she played with her little brother.

Just as Xiao Yu had said: if having a child isn’t just for fun, it’s utterly pointless!

The Baby is four months old.

It requires regular ear cleaning, nail trimming, and even nasal cleaning…

A simple routine that Xiao Yu somehow managed to complicate.

“Administer the sedative,” Xiao Yu ordered, his expression serious.

Mu Qingwu picked up a baby bottle and gently placed the nipple into the Baby’s mouth.

Before long, after feeding to satisfaction, the Baby fell into a deep, snoring sleep.

Self-administered anesthesia complete!

“Report: Sedation successful!” Mu Qingwu teased.

“Check the surgical instruments.”

“All instruments are in order.”

“Begin the procedure.”

“Lighting ready.”

“Surgical spoon,” Xiao Yu reached out.

Mu Qingwu passed him the ear-cleaning spoon.

“Lighting,” Xiao Yu restated.

Mu Qingwu directed the beam onto the Baby’s ear.

“I’m thirsty,” Xiao Yu remarked with a pout.

Mu Qingwu shot her naughty little brother a look and handed him some water.

“Wipe the sweat,” Xiao Yu boasted.

Rolling her eyes, Mu Qingwu grabbed a tissue and dabbed at her brother’s forehead.

This little couple was clearly having the time of their lives.

The whole routine took a full hour.

“Procedure successful!”

After finishing the Baby’s ear cleaning, Xiao Yu exhaled deeply and extended his hand to Mu Qingwu, “Great teamwork!”

“Haha.”

Mu Qingwu, part exasperated and part amused, shook his hand, “Thanks for your hard work!”

Regarding this ‘Human Soft Tissue Separation Surgery’…

She was tempted to pin her little brother to the ground and give him a beating.

What if he ever brags about grabbing your oxygen tank?

“Not hard work at all.”

Xiao Yu bared his teeth and declared, “Serving the people!”

“Our folks will be here any minute.”

Mu Qingwu laughed, “But you promised to go shopping with me!”

Shopping… Xiao Yu frowned, “I thought we agreed to stay home and rest?”

“Hmm?” Mu Qingwu squinted.

Xiao Yu: …

Your backstabbing move is just like me when I hit my ‘sage time’.

Xiao Yu thought his sister was riddled with annoying quirks.

Then he recalled a story beloved by all the guys.

When summer arrives, dig a hole and bury your girlfriend.

Come next spring, you’ll sprout a whole bunch of new girlfriends.

One to sleep with…

And one to keep as a seed for next year.

Perfect!

“Hehehehe.”

In his daydream, Xiao Yu grinned like a clueless idiot.

“What good idea are you scheming now?” Mu Qingwu’s eyes turned dangerously sharp.

“Slurp!”

Xiao Yu swallowed hard, maintaining a serious look, “I’m a good guy!”

“Hehe!”

Mu Qingwu sneered and, giving her little brother a playful glare, took the Baby off to bathe.

Watching his sister’s retreating back, Xiao Yu sighed in relief.

Wouldn’t it be nice to travel back to ancient times?

They say in the old days, wagons were slow, letters took forever, and you only loved one person in a lifetime.

But you could… take on a harem of concubines!

Discarding his dangerous daydream, Xiao Yu looked toward the Villa’s front door.

The door was pushed open.

Dad, Mom, and even the Mother-in-Law had arrived.

Just like that, their secluded two-person world was over!

……

The little couple, dressed in their goofy matching outfits, hand in hand, stepped out.

With the elders in charge, the Baby was perfectly taken care of—having way more experience than them.

Xiao Yu and Mu Qingwu treasured these rare moments alone.

They just wanted to fully relax.

But for Xiao Yu, shopping was the last thing he wanted to do.

Not that most guys would disagree.

For him, shopping was like walking straight into hell…

Inside the mall, they passed by a Milk Tea shop.

(chdj) “Want some Milk Tea?” Xiao Yu asked with a smile.

“I’m not a kid anymore,”

Mu Qingwu replied firmly, “I think I’ll pass.”

“Let’s go.”

Xiao Yu grabbed Mu Qingwu’s hand and led her into the Milk Tea shop, “I have to buy one.”

“Haha!” Mu Qingwu laughed, both resigned and delighted.

Leaving the shop, the little couple each held a cup of Milk Tea.

“Tastes good?” Xiao Yu asked, waggling his eyebrows.

“Delicious!” Mu Qingwu nodded, a look of pure delight on her face.

“Then…”

Xiao Yu pointed to a nearby Ice Cream shop, “How about some ice cream?”

“Forget it.”

Mu Qingwu shook her head decisively, “No thanks.”

“Boss, one ice cream please,” Xiao Yu said to the cold drinks shop owner.

Xiao Yu addressed the shop owner firmly.

Three minutes later, as Mu Qingwu savored her ice cream, she nodded, “Yummy!”

With a double dose of deliciousness in mind, Xiao Yu beamed happily. Passing a flower shop, he asked, “Sis, want some flowers?”

“No!” Mu Qingwu shook her head.

“Then, let’s go,” Xiao Yu agreed.

“Huh?”

Mu Qingwu asked in surprise, “How did you know if I meant it for real or was just pretending?”

“Of course I know.”

Grinning proudly, Xiao Yu said, “If you’re faking it, you’ll say ‘no thanks’; if it’s genuine, you’ll be curt.”

“Sure is.”

Mu Qingwu smiled teasingly, “You really get me.”

“Absolutely,” Xiao Yu replied with a broad grin.

“Look at that smug look on you.”

Mu Qingwu launched a probing question, “So what would you do if I said a firm ‘no’?”

“Uh…”

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, “Then I’ll take that as a definite no!”

“Why?” Mu Qingwu asked in surprise.

“Not only will I save money,”

Xiao Yu chuckled, “I’ll also save my body!”

“Save my body?”

Mu Qingwu asked, puzzled, “What do you mean?”

“Well…”

Xiao Yu raised his voice in a playful mimicry, “No, no…”

“Ah!” Mu Qingwu shrieked and lunged at Xiao Yu.

That little brother was beyond redemption—today, he’d be beaten up!

Xiao Yu ran faster than a rabbit, “Come catch me. If you do, I’ll let you… hehe…”

“Xiao Yu, you’re doomed!”

“I’m so scared, haha…”

The little couple chased each other, laughing all the way.

Youth had returned to them.

“Ouch!”

Mu Qingwu pinned Xiao Yu to the ground, “Queen, have mercy!”

“Only God can forgive you.”

Mu Qingwu kicked her naughty little brother a few times, “I’m sending you to meet the Lord right now!”

“Haha!”

Xiao Yu burst into laughter and pulled Mu Qingwu into his arms.

Bowing his head, he kissed her enticing red lips.

Next time, no more meeting online or blind dates.

After all, I live right next door and you happen to be my classmate.

Simply perfect—we’re meant to be together!
