Chapter 11: The Eve of Meeting Myself

(Yue(♀))

Our family took a train to Vittok Town.

Laphae's family was also invited to join us.

Although Laphae's parents were initially nervous, my parents were kind-hearted people. Therefore, they quickly became acquainted through the warm and friendly conversation initiated by my father and mother.

As for Xue'er and me (Yue(♀)), along with Laphae, the three of us sat together, paying no attention to their conversation.

While I really wanted to quickly gather information about Father's stance on Lotte, it wasn't the right time to bring up such matters. I could only wait until the negotiations started.

Well, since it's a negotiation, it's impossible for it to conclude in one go. It's only during the intense negotiations that I can probe Father's thoughts.

Don't blame me for taking advantage of the situation, Father. After all, I'm just an employee earning a salary now.

Do as the Romans do, isn't that what you taught me?

"Yue(♀), what are you thinking?"

!

I snapped back to reality and looked at Laphae. She still had an excitement that was hard to conceal on her face. "Of course, I was thinking about the night you mentioned. I was wondering if he really is as handsome, gentle, intelligent, brave, and reliable as you described. You've said so many good things about him; I hope he doesn't disappoint me when we meet."

All those things I don't even believe myself, and hearing them makes me blush, you know?

"I won't let you down!!"

Laphae's sudden, resolute expression caught me off guard.

"He definitely won't disappoint you, Yue(♀)! You two will definitely become great friends!"

I was just making a joke; you didn't have to take it so seriously, right?

And with all your praise, what am I supposed to say?

It's quite awkward!

"Alright, I understand. I'll look forward to it."

After calming down the excited Laphae, I breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Xue'er beside me suddenly spoke up, "Sister, that 'night' is a male, right?"

"Yes."

"Not allowed." Xue'er crossed her arms, wearing a serious yet cute expression. "Sister, you're not allowed to be friends with males."

"Huh?"

I looked at her, baffled.

"All men are trash! How can sister get close to something so filthy!"

"... Xue'er, turn around and look, your dad is right behind you."

"Except for Father." Xue'er mumbled to herself, then reaffirmed, "But except for Father, all other men are trash!"

Do you realize that by saying that, you're also insulting your sister?

"I think Night should be quite nice, after all, he's been praised so much by Laphae."

Even though being praised makes me blush, I'd rather be blushing from praise than be called trash.

"That's right, Xue'er. Even if all men are trash, Night is an exception. He's very gentle and considerate."

"Stop."

Xue'er raised her hand to halt the conversation, a disdainful expression on her face.

"Sister Laphae, you've said the same thing many times, and all I hear is that he's a playboy. By now, Night has probably forgotten how many girls he's been with."

"No, Xue'er, how do you even know those words? How old are you?"

Her subtle evaluation, so unexpectedly aligned with Mom's, really got to me.

"My dear sister, age is never a problem. The accumulation of a child's knowledge depends entirely on the secret room of the adult father and how many books are hidden there."

Alright, I get it.

I stood up without hesitation, turned towards the other seat, and said coldly, "Mother, did you hear how Xue'er was corrupted?"

"I heard."

Mother smiled gently and said tenderly.

"Yue(♀), cover your sister's eyes, and close your own too."

"Sure."

I sat down and covered Xue'er's eyes with one hand and pushed down Laphae's head with the other, then closed my eyes, completely ignoring the terrified, pleading look from Father.

"Wait! Mire! I had no idea! I really didn't know that Xue'er was sneakily reading my books! I really knew nothing-ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

The screams echoed through the entire train.

Serves him right. Just go and die.
