Chapter 15 - Holding Hands for a Lifetime

  "You little rascal, are you crazy?" Chen Xinmei hissed. Startled, she quickly pushed me away and looked at her daughter with a flustered expression.

  Her heart was pounding like a deer's; she was extremely nervous, never expecting me to be so bold as to kiss her in front of her daughter.

  Qin Xinmei saw her daughter eating strawberries and not noticing this side, and her heart, which had been pounding, relaxed. Then her gaze was fixed on me, filled with a cold, icy light, a feeling that seemed to freeze me in place.

  "I won't do it again next time," I whispered, feeling a little flustered as I looked at Qin Xinmei's murderous gaze.

  Based on my understanding of Qin Xinmei, the Queen was truly angry. Unlike before, when I kissed her or held her hand, she silently accepted my willfulness.

  This time, the Queen was truly angry.

  "Mom, little brother, what's wrong?" Chen Siting, with some strawberry juice on her lips and carrying strawberries in her little hands, came to us.

  "It's getting late, everyone should go home. Siting, go and call Aunt Li," Qin Xinmei said softly, gently stroking Chen Siting's hair with her delicate hand.

  Then Qin Xinmei glanced at me, took the tissue from my hand, and wiped the strawberry juice from the corner of her daughter's mouth.

  On the way back, the Queen remained silent, walking at the front with her two long, slender legs, her beautiful back view slender and tall.

  "Little brother, did you make Mom angry?" Chen Siting handed me the strawberries, her big, bright eyes staring at me with a puzzled look.

  She rarely saw her mother like this. She remembered one time when she came home late from playing, and her mother was angry all day.

  Chen Siting still feels lingering fear. When she thinks back to that day, her mother hardly spoke to her at all, so from that moment on, she dared not disobey her mother's teachings.

  "I guess so." I looked at Qin Xinmei's stunningly beautiful and tall figure and gave a wry smile.

  "Hahaha, little brother, you're doomed, you terrible teammate." Chen Siting saw my gloomy face and her pretty face lit up with a smile. She turned her body to the side, then stood on tiptoe and whispered in my ear, "Mom is angry, and the consequences are serious."

  After she finished speaking, she raised the eyelashes on her big eyes, smiled mischievously, ran to Qin Xinmei's side, and hugged her mother's arm affectionately.

  Chen Siting turned back, made a cheering gesture with her small hand, and then gave her a provocative look that said, "You'd better watch yourself."

  "This little fox, don't let it fall into my hands next time." I was stunned for a moment, my heart itching with hatred.

  Chen Siting's innocent face and the figure of a Korean-style beauty are, in my eyes, a little devil.

  Back at the farm's traditional courtyard, the nanny, Li Weixin, took the picked fruits and vegetables to wash.

  While placing the drinks on the table in the courtyard, Qin Xinmei directed Chen Siting and me to prepare the barbecue sauce.

  After a while, someone brought two bags of fresh mutton and beef, as well as other meats.

  The two bags of beef and mutton still had traces of blood, indicating they had been slaughtered recently.

  This is a super large farm, and many wealthy people come here for vacation. At this late hour, many of the guests at the farm are mainly having barbecues.

  "Sis, how dare you eat strawberries? Come over here and help skewer the chives. If you don't help, you can't eat them after they're grilled." I sat on the bench next to Qin Xinmei, skewering chives with skewers.

  Chen Siting, on the other hand, sat to the side, her long legs crossed, putting strawberries into her mouth one by one with her delicate hands, her pure and pretty face showing complete contentment.

  "You brat, mind your own business! I don't want you to bake them, I'll do it myself later." Chen Siting was very unhappy when I asked her to do the work. Her cheeks were bulging from the strawberries, and she was slurring her words.

  "Qin Xinmei, look at her, not doing any work, is that appropriate?" I gently nudged Qin Xinmei's arm with my elbow. The queen was carefully skewering eggplants with bamboo sticks.

  "Chen Qing, shut up. Siting, come help your brother." Qin Xinmei turned her head, glanced at me with her clear eyes, and then looked at Chen Siting.

  My daughter is indeed used to being lazy. Aunt Li usually does all the housework, which has led to her developing a bad habit of expecting to be waited on hand and foot.

  "You brat, you big bad guy!" Chen Siting glared at me through gritted teeth, reluctantly standing up from the stool. Her mother called out to her, and she dared not disobey, so she vented her anger on me.

  "Bring some strawberries over while you're at it. Pick the sweet, tender ones, not the sour ones." I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Little brat, trying to outsmart me.

  "Eat it or not, it's up to you. Do you think this is candied hawthorn? Strawberries are always sour." Chen Siting reluctantly handed over the strawberries. Now this brat of a brother knows how to use their mother to pressure her.

  "My hands are dirty, so put the strawberry in my mouth, but remember to be gentle." I didn't reach out to take it, but opened my mouth and looked at Chen Siting defiantly.

  "You wretched guy." Chen Siting kicked my shin and put the strawberry in my mouth.

  I saw Chen Siting holding a strawberry with her two delicate fingers. The moment she brought it close to her mouth, a smug look of triumph flashed across my face. I deliberately put her two fingers in my mouth and gently bit them with my teeth before putting the strawberry in my mouth.

  "You...you big bad guy." Chen Siting's two jade fingers twitched, her delicate body trembled as if she had been electrocuted, and her big eyes stared at her younger brother who had a smug look on his face.

  At that moment, her innocent and pretty face instantly turned shy and flushed. She never expected that this big bad guy would be so bold as to bite her finger. Then, blushing, she ran to Qin Xinmei's side.

  "Mom, look, my little brother bit me." Chen Siting hugged Qin Xinmei's shoulders, held out two delicate fingers in front of her mother, and looked charmingly innocent.

  How dare he tease this beautiful girl! Revenge, I must get revenge! Chen Siting tilted her head and looked at the big bad guy sitting next to her mother.

  "That's ridiculous. You two are getting on in years. It's getting dark soon. You two should help Aunt Li skewer the lamb and beef." Qin Xinmei glanced at me and Chen Siting, a warm feeling welling up inside her.

  She felt that taking a few days off to come here for a vacation was the right choice. Although the siblings had only known each other for a short time and sometimes bickered, it was a way to cultivate their relationship.

  At 6 p.m., the barbecue preparations were all done, and then the Queen told us to make whatever we wanted to eat ourselves.

  I have to say, I grilled three skewers of beef, and they all burned. Meanwhile, Chen Siting and Li Weixin sat across from me, and the Korean-style pretty girl was grilling a chicken wing, laughing at me for a full minute.

  Li Weixin was the best at grilling, and she grilled more than ten skewers of lamb in no time, but Chen Siting, the Korean-style beauty, snatched most of them.

  "Chen Qing, when grilling beef, you need to flip it every ten seconds or so. If you don't move it for even a minute, it'll definitely burn." Qin Xinmei sat on the bench, her two jade-like legs together, her posture extremely elegant.

  The Queen quietly grilled two eggplants, her gaze sweeping over my three burnt beef skewers, her cool and refined face suppressing a smile.

  "Qin Xinmei, laugh if you want to, don't hold it in. Let me grill a few more skewers. I'll make sure they're good this time. If they're not, I'll be..." I said, taking two skewers of beef as I spoke, but before I could finish, the queen sitting next to me covered my mouth.

  "Shut up, don't talk nonsense." Qin Xinmei suddenly reached out a delicate hand and covered my mouth, her eyes fixed on me, and said softly, "Now that you're out in public, remember, you can't talk nonsense in the future, understand?"

  At this moment, I saw Qin Xinmei frowning, her eyes filled with a mixture of pleading and a hint of reproach.

  Judging from the Queen's tense expression, she was genuinely worried about me.

  "I know, I won't say it again." I realized I had said the wrong thing, so I gently removed Qin Xinmei's hand, lowered my eyes, opened a can of cola, took a sip, feeling refreshed, and then started grilling beef on my own.

  "Haha, you little brat, you got scolded by Mom, didn't you?" Chen Siting curled her lips and added insult to injury.

  She picked up the lamb that Li Weixin had grilled, looked at my expression, and blinked her big eyes.

  I glanced at Chen Siting, but ignored her this time. If I spoke up, the Queen would definitely lecture me again.

  This little fox will eventually fall into my hands; I've got my eye on her.

  "Can't you two get along? You don't act like siblings at all. You think two tigers can't share one mountain?" Qin Xinmei deliberately frowned, her cold face feigning anger.

  She noticed that the two siblings could never have a moment of peace together; they couldn't stop arguing unless they were having a fight.

  "Mom, my brother and I are so close, hehe. Anyway, let's eat meat. Aunt Li's grilled lamb is really good." Chen Siting used a coquettish approach, then turned around and praised Li Weixin's cooking skills.

  "Thank you for the compliment, Siting." Li Weixin smiled, her gaze subtly sweeping over me and Qin Xinmei.

  She sighed inwardly, marveling at how similar the two looked, and then stopped thinking about it.

  Some things are beyond her control as an outsider.

  "Qin Xinmei, I want to eat eggplant." I saw that Qin Xinmei had grilled two eggplants and sprinkled them with minced garlic and soy sauce.

  I must say, the Queen's cooking skills are really good. The eggplant is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. With a sprinkle of sauce, the eggplant flesh looks golden yellow and is very appetizing.

  "Then you take the small one and leave the big one for me. I went through a lot of trouble to bake it." Qin Xinmei hesitated for a moment, glanced at me, and said with feigned reluctance on her cold face.

  "I'll grill some beef for you later, is that alright?" I found it a bit funny, this haughty queen. Then I glanced at Chen Siting, thinking how wonderful it would be if this little fox had a personality like Qin Xinmei.

  This Korean-style cute girl is always thinking of ways to bully me, she's so mean.

  "Are you sure what you grilled is edible?" Qin Xinmei looked at the plate of grilled beef I had prepared, which was blackened and covered with a few specks of charcoal ash. After hesitating for a moment, she declined my offer.

  "This is just too much! Sis, do you want some?" Qin Xinmei refused to eat, which greatly disappointed me. I looked at Chen Siting with longing in my eyes.

  Unfortunately, Chen Siting completely ignored my gaze.

  "Tsk tsk, you're trying to get me into trouble? No way, even a dog wouldn't eat the stuff you grill." Chen Siting gave me a disdainful look, stared at my eggplant, and said with a sly smile, "I want to eat eggplant."

  As she spoke, she stood up, walked around to my side, stretched her head over, opened her little mouth, and looked like she wanted me to feed her.

  "I'll give you a bite since you gave me strawberries. This is from the Queen." I reluctantly picked up my chopsticks, carefully placed a small piece of eggplant into Chen Siting's mouth.

  Qin Xinmei frowned as she watched Chen Siting and me being intimate. She glanced at me with her clear eyes, her lips twitched, but she hesitated to speak. Then she brushed a few strands of hair from her fair forehead and stared blankly at the eggplant on the plate.

  "Mom's baking is really good." Chen Siting licked her lips with satisfaction, then returned to her seat.

  The barbecue ended at 8:30 p.m., and we quickly packed up our things.

  Chen Siting returned to the living room, her delicate body leaning against the sofa. Her small belly bulged under her stylish white short-sleeved cotton shirt. Her eyes were fixed on the ceiling, and a smile occasionally appeared on her lips.

  Qin Xinmei also sat down next to Chen Siting, her two long, slender legs crossed, sipping her tea to cleanse herself of the greasiness.

  "Sis, your smile is terrifying. Are you thinking about dirty things?" I put out the charcoal fire with water and went back into the house. I saw Chen Siting grinning foolishly and looked at her with suspicion.

  "Get lost, you're the one thinking about dirty things." Chen Siting glared at me irritably, then stood up and said to Qin Xinmei, "Mom, I'm going to take a shower first."

  She glared at me as she spoke, then went back to her room, grabbed a change of clothes, and went into the bathroom.

  "Qin Xinmei, how about we go explore the ancient town later? I just went out to take a look, and the night view over there looks pretty nice." I blinked, walked up to Qin Xinmei, and said with an expectant look.

  "You really want to go?" Qin Xinmei put down her ivory porcelain cup, her clear eyes meeting mine as if trying to see through my heart.

  "I really want to go." I was somewhat dissatisfied when I saw the Queen's expression.

  I just want to go out with the Queen to stroll around the ancient town, see the night view, and see if there's anything fun to do there.

  "Alright, there are two bathrooms, I'll go take a shower too. When Chen Siting comes out of the shower, you can call her to come with us." Qin Xinmei stared at my serious expression, seemingly considering it.

  He then stood up from the sofa and went into the room.

  Okay, the little fox will come along too.

  Let's go together, let's go see a little fox.

  I'm so angry! I finally wanted to be with the Queen, but her name is Chen Siting.

  Half an hour later, Qin Xinmei came out of the shower, wearing a large white bathrobe, and entered the room.

  By this time, Chen Siting had already finished washing up. She was drying her long hair, which was casually hanging over her shoulders, with a towel. She was wearing a light blue loose plaid shirt, white shorts that revealed her two fair legs, and pink flip-flops with her toes as white and tender as snow.

  The girl's outfit and innocent face give off a striking visual impact, almost like a mature, sophisticated woman.

  "Sis, I've noticed that you look a bit like a certain female celebrity," I said sincerely. This Korean-style beauty has the potential and qualifications to be a star.

  With her pure and innocent oval face, a little styling and she'd exude a mature and sophisticated aura.

  "Little brother, are you praising me indirectly?" Chen Siting looked a little shy, her eyes fixed on me. Her long hair was loose over her shoulders, her skin was fair and delicate, and she was pure and charming.

  "If you think so, then so be it. By the way, we're going to the ancient town later, are you coming?" I asked truthfully. Since Qin Xinmei invited the Korean-style beauty to come along, I might as well ask her to prepare in advance.

  Although I was reluctant for Chen Siting to come along and interfere with my date with the Queen, I felt it was rather inhumane to leave her at home.

  "I'm not going, you guys go ahead." Hearing that they were going to visit the ancient town, Chen Siting looked a little reluctant, but she still had things to do, so she gave up the idea of ​​going to the ancient town.

  "Why aren't you going? This isn't like you," I asked, somewhat puzzled.

  Doesn't Chen Siting really like shopping?

  How could we pass up such a great opportunity, especially to see the night view of the ancient town?

  "I won't tell you, you tell Mom I'm going to sleep now." Chen Siting raised an eyebrow, rolled her eyes at me, then turned around, blushing, and went into her room, locking the door behind her.

  The Korean-style pretty girl sat at the table, opened her alien-themed laptop, and clicked on a document with the striking title: "Poppies in the Night."

  Chen Siting sat in a reclining chair, wearing black-rimmed glasses, her legs crossed, exuding the aura of a mature and sophisticated woman.

  After staring at the screen for more than ten seconds, the Korean-style girl rested her delicate chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, and then began to lightly tap the keyboard with her ten fingers.

  After I finished showering, I sat on the sofa and waited for ten minutes before Qin Xinmei came out of the room.

  The Queen dressed meticulously, not putting her long hair up, but tying it up in the middle with a black hair tie, letting it fall lazily over her shoulder.

  She was wearing a brown, retro-style French-style dress with a large collar, and a buckle around her waist, which made her already slender waist look even more delicate, and her two 36D breasts stood out prominently.

  Qin Xinmei's dress only reached her ankles, revealing a pair of 6-centimeter-high silver openwork high heels. Her jade-like feet were crystal clear and alluring. She looked elegant and noble, beautiful yet aloof.

  "Where's Siting? I can't find her." Qin Xinmei saw me staring blankly at her, her cold face calm, and I couldn't tell what she was thinking.

  "My sister said she's not coming with us," I said, blinking.

  Actually, I was secretly delighted that no one would disturb my date with the Queen.

  "Little one, you seem happy that Siting isn't going, right?" Qin Xinmei stared at me with clear eyes and a half-smile on her lips.

  The Queen has that penetrating gaze that sees right through people, leaving no secrets they can confide in.

  "She said she wasn't going. Did I look happy? Are you sure you didn't see wrong?" I rolled my eyes at Qin Xinmei. Although my secret had been seen through, I still stubbornly denied it.

  "Let's go, we'll be right back." Qin Xinmei turned around and strode out of the courtyard with her long, slender legs.

  Qin Xinmei and I left the farm. Before we knew it, the moon was faintly visible in the dark blue sky and the vast Milky Way. Unfortunately, the moon was very hazy, and we could only see a sliver of its shape. The moonlight was completely swallowed up by the night.

  To get to the ancient town on the other side, we had to cross a three-meter-long wooden bridge, where the white light of the streetlights shone down on us.

  Crickets and other insects chirped softly in the grass by the river, the water flowed slowly, rippling gently, and a breeze swept by, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

  As Qin Xinmei and I walked side by side across the three-meter-long wooden bridge, we moved very slowly. I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when I saw her put her hands into the pockets of her skirt.

  Suddenly, I remembered a song, "Jiangnan".

  I often hear this song in the US, and I can't help but hum along:

  The wind here is sticky.

  The longing that clings to passersby

  The rain here turns into threads

  It entangles us in our attachment to this world.

  Having you by my side is fate.

  Fate is written on the Three Lives Stone

  Love has even a tiny bit of sweetness...

  "You sang well. It seems you've practiced this song quite a bit?" Qin Xinmei turned to look at me, her delicate hands in her skirt pockets, and praised me.

  We crossed the wooden bridge, where the streetlights shone like daytime. After walking another thirty meters or so, we reached the ancient town, where we could see crowds of people. Red lanterns hung from the kapok trees, creating a festive atmosphere. Our gaze swept over the walls of the ancient town, where the lights shone even brighter.

  At this moment, I suddenly felt less inclined to go to the ancient town; the light there was simply too dazzling.

  "Thank you for the compliment." I met Qin Xinmei's gaze out of the corner of my eye, and then continued walking towards the ancient town.

  I would occasionally touch Qin Xinmei's small hand, which was tucked into her skirt pocket, with the back of my hand, as if I were hinting at something.

  After walking about ten steps, I still hadn't seen the Queen make any move, and I started to get anxious.

  Qin Xinmei remained silent, her cool and aloof face utterly calm, seemingly oblivious to my actions.

  "Your Majesty, it's cold. May I borrow your hands to warm them?" I couldn't help but say, looking at Qin Xinmei's exquisite and perfect profile, I really wanted to pinch her cheeks.

  How could this woman do that? Why would she put her hands in her pockets for no reason?

  Qin Xinmei remained silent, glanced at me, then turned away and walked quietly with her two slender legs.

  I don't know if it was because the Queen's long hair wasn't styled up, but I saw Qin Xinmei stretch out her jade-like hand, flick her long hair, and then let it hang casually down to her waist and hips instead of putting it in her pocket.

  At this moment, I held Qin Xinmei's jade-like hand tightly in mine, my five fingers intertwined with her soft, boneless slender fingers. I felt the cool sensation emanating from her tender hand in my palm, which was very comfortable.

  Qin Xinmei was wearing 6-centimeter-high silver openwork heels, but even so, she was still a head shorter than me.

  I turned to look at Qin Xinmei, and suddenly I noticed something. Her face was flushed, her nose was delicate and fair, her neck was slender, her ears were small, and her body was graceful and alluring.

  "Qin Xinmei, can I hold your hand for the rest of my life?" I held Qin Xinmei's delicate hand and felt that her cool hand was slightly sweaty.

  I don't know if Qin Xinmei was nervous, but when I held her hand yesterday, I didn't feel any sweat on it.

  "Little one, do you really want to hold my hand for the rest of your life?" Qin Xinmei asked rhetorically.

  At that moment, she stood still, her gaze meeting mine, her cool and perfect face utterly calm.
