Shi Keke couldn’t help but laugh when she heard the voice, "Brother, I really didn’t expect you to have such a tsundere side."

Shi Mei pinched her chin with his hand. As he lifted it up to meet her gaze, he displayed a teasing smile, "There are a lot of sides you haven’t seen, want me to show them all to you?"

Shi Keke refused, "Better not, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it. After all, men like you and my sister-in-law’s man are the same type: scheming, domineering, and tsundere. Who knows what you’ll do next?"

"My sister-in-law’s man" referred to Shi Yu, because Shi Keke rarely called Shi Yu by his name directly, she usually called him brother, so to distinguish between Shi Yu and Shi Mei, she had to say it this way.

Shi Mei gave a non-committal hum and then asked, "So you’re planning to solve this problem yourself, not letting me get involved?"

"Exactly." Shi Keke said straightforwardly, "I don’t have many skills, but at least I have basic social skills."

"Hmm?" Shi Mei squinted slightly, seemingly not understanding her point.

"Think about it, brother, I’m not great at anything except for being good looking. And besides, look at the people eating here, at least a third are single men, and among these men, more than half are wearing luxury brands. That means if your sister I don’t have money to pay the bill, I could just flirt with one of them to settle it. As for appeasing you, do you think my personality would do that?"

"Shi Keke, do you think with me here, there’s any other man who dares to take an interest in you?"

Shi Mei’s gaze was deep, and though he wore a smile, there was no warmth in it whatsoever, as if it could create the illusion of being in an icehouse.

"Why wouldn’t they dare?" Shi Keke retorted, then laughed, "Ignoring the sibling relationship, at most we’re just friends right now. To speak more intimately, maybe lovers. Because from beginning to end, you’ve never said we should be together, nor have we already been together. In that case, you have no right to interfere in my life, brother."

"Shi Keke." he spoke in a deep voice, his gaze growing cold, as a trace of hoarseness leaked from his icy voice, "When will you stop being so aggressive?"

"When I’m dead." Shi Keke laughed indifferently, "When I can’t speak, I won’t be aggressive anymore."

"I dare you to say that word again."

Shi Mei seemed to greatly dislike hearing her say such things, his deep eyes immediately exuded a dangerous aura, and the grip on her chin also started to tighten.

Shi Keke only felt that her chin was about to be crushed, but she remained defiant, neither conceding nor surrendering, uttering no cry of pain, nor a single sound, stubbornly staring directly at him, smiling as she spoke, "Dead..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shi Mei silenced her with his lips, the moment his lips touched hers, he bit down fiercely, without a trace of mercy.

Shi Keke tasted the salty, metallic flavor, clearly her lips had been broken by his bite. Yet she didn’t feel any pain, it was as if the warmth from his lips acted as an anesthetic, rapidly healing her wound.

After biting her, Shi Mei pulled away from her lips and told her in the most determined tone, "Shi Keke, remember this, from now on, you are Shi Mei’s woman. No matter what happens in the future, don’t even think about leaving my side."
