They didn’t speak for a long time until they reached the hospital. In the emergency room, after getting treatment from the doctor, Sheng Sheng crouched in front of her, applying an ice pack to her foot, and finally, Maimai awkwardly asked, "Stinky Zun Zun, who’s the girl you like?"

Sheng Sheng: "..."

"Is it your school’s beauty queen?"

Sheng Sheng looked up and noticed tears glistening in the corners of her eyes, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. He half-crouched, looking at Maimai, who was glaring angrily at him.

"Silly, I was just teasing you." He didn’t know why, but looking into her reddened eyes, at that moment, he just wanted to make her happy. Involuntarily, he lifted his hand to wipe the corner of her eye. "Why are you so serious?"

Upon hearing this, Maimai’s eyebrows relaxed: "Really?"

"I’m only eighteen." Sheng Sheng’s response was ambiguous.

"Right, you’re not allowed to have an early romance!" Maimai suddenly felt cheerful and added a comment: "Only I’m allowed not to like you; no other girl can outdo me!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

What kind of logic is that?

Sheng Sheng laughed in his heart, the competitive spirit of a young girl!

He squatted down and continued to apply the ice pack to her foot.

At night, the two of them came to a small house on the outskirts of Melbourne. Surrounded by dense forest, it was the best place for stargazing at night, and the nearby lawn served as a perfect natural landing strip.

The small house was rented to them by an elderly couple.

At night, they lay on the lawn outside to look at the stars, while Maimai kept snacking.

"Brother Zun, do you know how many stars are in the sky?" Maimai counted them one by one.

Sheng Sheng laughed: "Take your time counting."

"Brother Zun, do you really have someone you like in your heart?"

"Yes!"

"Hmph!" Maimai ignored him again and decided not to share her snacks with him, ending up eating them alone. Lying on the lawn, she gazed at the sky, counting for a while. Seeing the person beside her lying as well, she decisively pulled his arm over as a pillow for herself, "I also have someone I like!"

After speaking and seeing Sheng Sheng with no reaction, she added: "And it’s not you!"

Sheng Sheng laughed, gently turning onto his side to hug her: "If it’s not me, why are you lying in my arms?"

"What difference does it make? What’s ours is shared!" Maimai said with a hint of jealousy: "Even if you have someone you like, I still want to lie in your arms. What can she do about it? Hmph, just a little b*tch!"

Brother Zun is her brother, not even his wife could outdo her. Maimai hugged the man beside her even tighter, wishing forever to lie in his arms and watch the stars. But maybe she could lie in Brother Sheng Sheng’s arms too, she wondered what it would feel like to be in Brother Sheng Sheng’s embrace. Would he also care for her like Brother Zun does?

Aunt always said Brother Sheng Sheng liked her and often asked about her well-being.

Oh dear, is she being too greedy?

"Brother Zun, do you know any stories? Can you tell me a bedtime story?" Maimai pressed half of her body onto Sheng Sheng, looking at him as he closed his eyes, "Brother Zun?"

"I’m asleep." Sheng Sheng spoke with his lips slightly pursed.

Maimai pressed her two index fingers against the corners of his mouth, pushing down hard, forcing two curved dimples: "If you’re asleep, are you talking in your dreams?"

Sheng Sheng: "I don’t know how to tell stories."
