Volume 3 Chapter 54: Three Times, Oh Three Times
After saying that, Lin Yu’s mother quickly left the room.
Gao Ye and Lin Yu both looked quietly at the bedside. Now, there was not only a fruit basket there, but also a bowl of noodles.
This…
“Ah, Lin Yu, you haven’t eaten dinner yet?” Gao Ye asked in surprise.
It was already quite late. She looked at her phone again.
Wow… had they really been talking for that long without noticing?
At this time… dinner?
This could only be called a late-night snack, right?
“Ahem, it’s like this,” Lin Yu explained. “Ever since I started resting at home to recover, I often feel sleepy for no reason. My parents don’t want to wake me up, so my eating schedule has been very irregular lately. I’m almost used to it now, haha.”
“I see.”
Gao Ye understood better and nodded. But then she noticed another problem.
Ah… these noodles might be hard to eat.
Of course, she didn’t mean the taste. She meant…
“There’s so much soup in this bowl. If you eat on the bed, won’t it spill on the sheets and blanket? It might make them dirty.”
Gao Ye frowned. Lin Yu nodded in agreement.
“Yeah. I think my mom forgot to bring the small table. She was probably in a hurry. Gao Ye, could you please tell my mom to bring it? I usually use that.”
“Ah, I see…”
The girl nodded. She said that out loud, but in her heart, she already had a better idea.
Ahem…
She was really a little naughty.
The corner of Gao Ye’s mouth lifted slightly. Lin Yu suddenly felt that something was not quite right.
“Ah, forget it. I feel a little embarrassed to ask,” Gao Ye said as she brushed her hair aside and smiled at him. “How about I feed you instead?”
“Ah? What?”
Lin Yu looked at the girl in front of him in disbelief. He could not quite understand. She… she was…
“Well…”
Lin Yu felt shy for a moment. But then he thought, if she, as a girl, was not worried about it, then he…
“However, I have one condition~”
Gao Ye thought for a moment. Seeing that he seemed ready to agree, she gave a playful smile and added her condition.
That was… he had to call her “big sister.”
Ah, at home she was the youngest girl. No one ever called her “big sister.”
Before, it was fine. She argued with her older brother every day and got used to it. But ever since she discovered the fun and cute side of Lin Yu, Lin Lin’s adorable younger brother, she had a slightly mischievous idea.
She really wanted to hear Lin Yu call her “big sister.”
It would be even better if he did it in front of Lin Lin. He would call Gao Ye “big sister,” then turn to Lin Lin and say, “Who are you?”
Haha, just thinking about that scene made Gao Ye feel very happy~
So, even though Lin Lin was not here now, she still really wanted to hear him say “big sister.”
“Can you call me ‘big sister’ once? Just like how you usually call Lin Lin ‘big sister,’ okay?”
“Huh?”
Lin Yu was silent for a moment. He tilted his head and said, “I don’t really call her ‘big sister.’ I usually call her by her name. Or sometimes just… hey, you, or something like that.”
“Huh?!”
Gao Ye was speechless.
Ah… wait…
Did that mean that from the beginning, Lin Yu’s attitude toward Lin Lin was basically, ‘Who are you?’
“Ahem, don’t misunderstand,” Lin Yu quickly waved his hands to explain. “It’s just that I called her ‘big sister’ too many times when we were kids, so now I don’t like saying it anymore.”
After hearing that, Gao Ye nodded reluctantly.
But she still was not satisfied.
How annoying! Now she couldn’t tease Lin Lin anymore.
Ahem, but…
The girl lowered her head. Her face turned a little red. Even so, she still really wanted to hear Lin Yu call her by some sweet nickname.
Everyone likes to hear sweet words, right?
“Then… can you call me something? I’m the youngest in my family. Since I was little, everyone treated me like a child. Can you… let me… ahem… experience it for once?”
Gao Ye shyly said what she really wanted. After hearing this, Lin Yu wanted to say it right away, but—
He felt a little embarrassed.
“Maybe forget it. I… I think Gao Ye is already very cute.”
Huh? What does that mean?
Gao Ye pouted. Was he saying she didn’t look like an elegant older sister?
Well… compared to Du Wenmei when she stays quiet, maybe she was a little less mature. But she didn’t look that much like a little kid, right?
“Hmph! Then I won’t feed you! I’ll eat it myself!”
Gao Ye pouted, held the bowl, and playfully moved her chair back a few steps. She shook her head and looked at him with an unhappy expression.
Lin Yu felt awkward. He looked left and right. In the end, he had no choice. Looking at the stubborn girl in front of him, he lowered his head and said:
“Big… big sister.”
“Mmm~ Not bad. Say it again?”
“Huh? Then… okay. Big sister.”
“Pfft, hahaha~ Wow, so good! One more time, Lin Yu?”
“Uh…”
Lin Yu fell silent. He was not someone who especially liked older-sister types!
Although… right now Gao Ye looked like a cute little sister acting spoiled and asking her older brother to call her “big sister.” It was kind of cute. But he had already said it so many times…
“Last time! Big… big sister!”
Three times, oh three times…
“Hehe… pfft~”
After the last time, Gao Ye tried hard not to laugh. She stood there holding back laughter for several minutes. She was so excited that her legs were shaking. Finally, after calming down, she gave him a thumbs-up and said:
“Yay! But… it still feels a little strange. I guess I’m more suited to being the younger-sister type. So… let me feed you the noodles now, Brother Lin Yu~”
The girl smiled and moved closer again. She picked up some noodles and brought them to his mouth. Lin Yu blushed. He had never experienced something like this, a cute “little sister” gently feeding him.
It would be a lie to say he felt nothing. But Gao Ye was really too bold…
Just when he was thinking about how to stop her from teasing him like this, the phone on the bedside suddenly rang.
Gao Ye looked toward the sound. Lin Yu quickly grabbed the chance and took the bowl from her hands. At last, he escaped from that embarrassing situation.
Now that her hands were free, Gao Ye naturally picked up the phone. She forgot that it was Lin Yu’s phone. Without even checking, she answered it.
“Hello?”
After saying the first word, Gao Ye suddenly realized something was wrong. Then she remembered, this was Lin Yu’s phone.
Oh no… she answered a call meant for him…
But Lin Yu didn’t seem to mind. He started eating the noodles and said, “Sorry to trouble you, Gao Ye. Please help me answer it.”
“Okay…”
Gao Ye nodded and asked the person on the other side of the phone:
“Hello… um, who are you looking for?”
“…Gao Ye?!”
A familiar male voice suddenly came from the phone. Gao Ye was shocked. She blinked and quickly turned the phone to look at the caller name.
“Wasn’t I calling Lin Yu? Why are you the one answering? Hello? Say something! Hello?!”
