Chapter 2575 — Too Careless

He cleared his throat twice and put on the slippers Ying Ziyu handed him. As for Chen Xi, though she had saved the three bags from hitting the floor, a moment later she felt a chill on her chest and realized she'd exposed herself. Then, seeing Wei Zhao's somewhat awkward expression, her little face flushed bright red in an instant!
This time, Chen Xi had no thought to spare for Ying Ziyu's plan to create a suggestive atmosphere and show off her girlish side. Setting the three bags down, she bolted for the bedroom, calling out as she ran, "I… I'm going to put on some clothes…"
Hearing this, Ying Ziyu was struck with a wave of exasperation. Stomping her foot in frustration at such wasted potential, she thought: Why don't you know how to seize the moment? I worked so hard to create an opportunity for you, and you just threw it away. Honestly…
"Hehe, it's warm inside, so we don't dress heavily at home. Xiao Xi got embarrassed," Ying Ziyu had no choice but to explain to Wei Zhao. "Wei Zhao-gege, have a seat."
"All right." Wei Zhao felt a little awkward too. He glanced at Ying Ziyu and only then realized she wasn't wearing a bra either. It wasn't as obvious as with Chen Xi, but the faint suggestion was enough to leave Wei Zhao's mouth a little dry.
Only now did it occur to Wei Zhao that Ying Ziyu was no little girl anymore. Those things he'd found in her drawer before, and the shapely figure he'd seen today—it suddenly struck Wei Zhao that Ying Ziyu was already a first-year high school girl!
He had been treating her like a child, but Ying Ziyu and Chen Xi were certainly not children anymore. It seemed he would have to change the way he talked to them from now on—he couldn't keep acting like a strict parent, or the two girls might end up just a little rebellious.
Ying Ziyu noticed Wei Zhao's gaze as well, and a strange delight welled up inside her. He's finally noticing me, is he? Hmph hmph hmph. Well? Not bad figures on this young lady, are there…
"Ahem, Ziyu, from now on when I come over, don't dress so lightly, you two. You're not little girls anymore," Wei Zhao said, clearing his throat twice to break the awkwardness.
Ying Ziyu was just about to puff out her chest and say, "No, we're not," but the words caught at her lips, and she broke into a cold sweat! She had nearly gotten carried away. Ying Ziyu quickly regained her composure. If she tried to seduce Wei Zhao here, it wouldn't just be a betrayal of Chen Xi inside the bedroom—Wei Zhao himself would probably be furious.
He might even give her a beating, treating her to a "bamboo shoot stir-fried with pork." Ying Ziyu recalled the time Wei Zhao had spanked her, and she still felt a lingering fear.
Careless, careless! Ying Ziyu had pulled back from the brink just in time. She still hadn't fully overturned her image as a little sister in Wei Zhao's mind, so she couldn't go doing anything inappropriate. Still, what Wei Zhao had said today was a good thing—he had finally realized that she and Chen Xi were not little girls anymore.
"Hehe…" Not wanting Wei Zhao to see what she was thinking, Ying Ziyu quickly switched to a rather more serious topic. "Wei Zhao-gege, have you heard anything about my brother lately…"
"Ah… your brother!" Wei Zhao's heart tightened. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your brother is still on a rather special mission. It hasn't ended yet, so he can't come back for now."
