Zhou Zhou probably couldn’t accept his premature death. In the dreadful silence, he struggled to force a smile, pointing his finger at Cheng Che and speaking in a hollow voice, “Sis, let me introduce you. This is my classmate…”

Cheng Che looked at Zhou Zhou sympathetically. Zhou Zhou seemed unaware that they were still holding hands.

“Hello, big sis.” Cheng Che nodded towards Zhou Qiao. He then looked at Cheng Yan with a complex expression and said, “Hello, uncle.”

At this moment, Zhou Zhou actually had the presence of mind to discuss family relationships. He subconsciously frowned and said, “Shouldn’t you call him brother-in-law…”

And then, he was immediately silenced by Zhou Qiao’s cold gaze.

“Uh.” Cheng Yan awkwardly cleared his throat again. He took his hand off Zhou Qiao’s waist and asked with a few words, “Cheng Che, why are you here?”

Cheng Che looked at his uncle and began to suspect whether Cheng Yan’s professor position was arranged through some backdoor connections after the family left. In the face of such a straightforward situation, he couldn’t believe Cheng Yan would ask such a question.

Both Zhou Zhou and Zhou Qiao looked at Cheng Yan. Zhou Zhou asked, “Do you know each other?”

“I’m his nephew,” Cheng Che said.

“I’m his uncle,” Cheng Yan said.

At this moment, Zhou Zhou really, really wished he could turn into a wisp of light ash and quietly disappear from this world.

***

Cheng Che and Zhou Zhou stood side by side in the living room, while Zhou Qiao sat on the sofa, supporting her forehead with her hand. After a while, she could only utter one word, “Damn.”

No wonder her head started hurting the moment she saw Cheng Che. She realised that Cheng Che and Cheng Yan shared the same style in appearance—cold and distant. It turned out they were really related. The thought of Cheng Yan being so shameless in private made Zhou Qiao believe that this nephew who resembled him was likely cut from the same cloth.

Recalling the sudden, quiet exclamation from Zhou Zhou when she called him in the afternoon, Zhou Qiao had joked that he might have been bitten by a dog. Now that she thought about it, damn it. He probably really was bitten.

With the scent of clear minty sake and strawberry milkshake pheromones filling the room… Coupled that with alpha pheromones from Zhou Zhou and wounds on his glands, Zhou Qiao didn’t need to think much to realise that her brother had been thoroughly ‘eaten’ by her boyfriend’s nephew.

Fortunately, as a foresighted older sister, she had prepared condoms in advance. Otherwise, if those two high schoolers had acted recklessly, Zhou Zhou might have ended up with a bloated tummy before graduation, right?

Dad! Dad! I haven’t let you down. Your son still has hope!

While thinking this, Zhou Qiao continued to glare at Zhou Zhou. She was not pointing at Cheng Che but at Cheng Yan. She asked Zhou Zhou, “You said you wanted to pursue an alpha. It turns out you’re chasing this jerk’s nephew?”

Cheng Yan, who was pouring water for everyone, lifted his head awkwardly upon hearing this. “Qiaoqiao, your words are a bit harsh.”

“Yeah…” Zhou Zhou buried his head, with only his two ears peeking out from the fluffy, dark hair. They were flushed red and his voice was very soft. “I can only say that everything is quite coincidental.”

Coincidental my foot!

Zhou Qiao looked at him. His face all flushed, head lowered, and his gaze evasive. This mischievous little brother of hers had never shown a decent side. But now, of all times…

She gritted her teeth in frustration and shifted her gaze to Cheng Che’s face. She looked at the face that resembled Cheng Yan’s. The face that could make her explode in anger in a second. She squeezed out a sentence through her teeth, “Zhou Zhou is not even 18 yet…”

Before Cheng Che could respond, Zhou Zhou lifted his head and explained in a low voice, “Yesterday was Cheng Che’s eighteenth birthday… He just came of age today.”

So, you’re both not completely adults yet. And you think that makes it okay?!

“Oh, right.” Cheng Yan suddenly realised, “Cheng Che, you’re really something. We arranged an adult banquet for you at home, invited a bunch of people, and then you called and said you wouldn’t be coming back that night. So, we ended up having a birthday party without the birthday person. Turns out, you were held back by Qiao’s brother. Didn’t you call me at noon asking for a barrier agent? Must…”

He didn’t finish speaking before wisely closing his mouth in the face of Zhou Qiao’s furious glare.

Even though his mouth was closed, Cheng Yan’s heart was still triumphant. Cheng Che, his nephew, was indeed impressive—he was actually dating Zhou Qiao’s brother. From this perspective, it seemed like he could completely entrap Zhou Qiao. As long as she brought up a breakup in the future, he could threaten her with “Your brother is in my nephew’s hands.” It should have some ‘persuasive’ effect.

But of course, the outcome might not be so pretty.

Cheng Yan cleared his throat, suspecting that staying any longer would completely ruin his dignity in front of his nephew and his girlfriend’s brother. So, he set down his cup of water and said to Cheng Che, “Oh, speaking of the barrier agent, I happen to have it in the car. I’ll go downstairs and get it for you.”

“Thanks…” Cheng Che paused for a moment. He then daringly added, “Thanks, brother-in-law.”

There was now another youngster in the world who called Cheng Yan ‘brother-in-law’. Zhou Qiao looked at Cheng Che. Her eyelid twitched. Sure enough, just like Cheng Yan, he was another seemingly harmless but secretly scheming individual.

“No need to be polite. We’re family.” Cheng Yan patted Cheng Che on the shoulder before leaving. There was a smile with hidden implications on his face.

Zhou Qiao’s head was really, really hurting. Entrusted to this uncle-nephew duo, the Zhou family was truly in trouble.

“Big sis.” Cheng Che calmly wrapped his arm around Zhou Zhou’s shoulders as he faced Zhou Qiao’s almost murderous gaze. He spoke steadily, “I will take good care of Zhou Zhou, both academically and in daily life. We’ll discuss the appropriate timing for him to transfer, ensuring it won’t affect his grades or college entrance exams. Whether it’s meals, rest, or exams, I’ll make sure Zhou Zhou is relaxed and happy. You can trust me.”

It wasn’t a solicitation-style ‘Please give me a chance’ but rather a straightforward and confident promise. He skipped all the probing and negotiations. Cheng Che directly said, ‘You can trust me’.

Zhou Zhou turned his head to look at Cheng Che’s calm profile and sighed inwardly: Damn, indeed, he had become an adult. Even though today was just the first day of adulthood, this posture of managing the situation was too damn beyond reach!

Zhou Qiao stared at Cheng Che for a long time. She then glanced at her innocent and bright-eyed brother. In the end, she succumbed to the recklessness of youth, which high schoolers possessed in abundance. Besides, there wasn’t much to argue about anyway. She sighed and raised her head. She waved her hand, “Alright, you’re all big enough now. No use talking too much. Zhou Zhou is in your hands from now on. Remember your words. If my brother isn’t happy, you and Cheng Yan will be in big trouble.”

Cheng Yan, who had just entered the room upstairs, raised an eyebrow, “?”
