"Bamboo Sister, how do I look now?”

Lin Yu walked into the room, asking Xia Muzhu who was busy in the kitchen.

Xia Muzhu turned around. She was wearing a cute apron with a little cat on it, and she was holding a spatula in her left hand. When she saw Lin Yu, a gleam of surprise and delight flashed in her deep blue eyes. She gave a thumbs-up and exclaimed, "You look good. Much more handsome than before!”

"Cut it out."

Xia Yueshan, who passed by Lin Yu, disdained and said, "What's so good about it? He was so cool before, I was even thinking about having a hairstyle like his."

Saying that, Xia Yueshan made a weird pose, raised his left hand to cover his left half of the face, and quickly looked around, like a robot looking for a target.

"You dare!"

Xia Muzhu waved the wooden spatula in her hand and threatened fiercely, "If you dare to have that kind of hairstyle, I..."

"I..."

Xia Muzhu stammered, unable to find a threat that could scare Xia Yueshan for a moment. But soon, her gaze fell on Lin Yu, and she continued to threaten fiercely, "I'll let your brother Lin Yu deal with you!"

"Okay."

Lin Yu nodded, giving face to Xia Muzhu's words. Then he put his hand on Xia Yueshan's fluffy little head, gently shook it, and said, "If your sister says so, I'll definitely deal with you."

Xia Yueshan quickly squatted down, broke free from Lin Yu's hand, and ran to the sofa on the side, then turned to face the two.

First, he looked at Xia Muzhu in the kitchen and made a face, saying in a weird tone, "Oh, I'll let your brother Lin Yu deal with you."

Then he turned to Lin Yu at the dining table, shaking his butt and making a face, saying, "Okay, if your sister says so, I'll definitely deal with you."

Hearing Xia Yueshan's weird words, both of them blushed.

These two sentences were ambiguous in the first place, but if they didn't delve into it, they would just pass. But now that Xia Yueshan repeated them in such a weird tone, the ambiguous atmosphere was about to explode.

Seeing Xia Muzhu sneak a glance at him, Lin Yu quickly changed the subject, shouting and pouncing at Xia Yueshan.

"Oh, you dare to tease me now? Let's see how I deal with you!"

After the playful fight, they had another hearty dinner. After eating, Lin Yu checked the time, got up to leave, and signaled Xia Yueshan to meet him downstairs.

After waiting downstairs for a while, when Xia Yueshan came down, Lin Yu returned his house key to him and told him about the lock replacement happening the next day.

Xia Yueshan took the key. After hearing about the lock replacement, he started looking at Lin Yu with a strange gaze, as if he was seeing him for the first time.

Lin Yu, feeling a bit impatient under his gaze, frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I never thought, I never thought." Xia Yueshan shook his head while stroking his chin, "I never thought that you genuinely want to protect my sister, rather than trying to harm her."

"Nonsense." Lin Yu rolled his eyes and said, "If I wanted to harm your sister, I would have done so the first time I saw her."

"You would harm my sister the first time you saw her? What happened when you first met her?" Xia Yueshan asked with a frown.

Lin Yu thought for a moment, feeling there was no need to hide it, so he said, "It's nothing much. You were bullied by someone from outside the school. That person happened to be my little brother. Your sister came to warn him not to bully you anymore. It just so happened that I was there, so I helped your sister out and told them not to bother you anymore."

Hearing Lin Yu's explanation, Xia Yueshan's mouth formed an 'O'. He pointed at Lin Yu and said in realization, "No wonder, I was wondering why Liu Lao Tou didn't continue to get people from outside the school to beat me up. It turns out you helped me."

"But what does this have to do with you harming my sister?" Xia Yueshan turned his head and asked in confusion.

"Doesn't it matter?" Lin Yu asked back, "What if I used you as a bargaining chip to threaten your sister to behave?"

"Oh my gosh! You're such a jerk!" Xia Yueshan shouted in anger.

"What do you mean, jerk! I didn't do it, did I?" Lin Yu hit Xia Yueshan's forehead with his fist and retorted.

Xia Yueshan covered his forehead with both hands, wincing in pain.

Lin Yu didn't bother with him. After reminding him to distribute the new access cards to every household in the building the next day, he prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Xia Yueshan called out to Lin Yu.

"What is it?" Lin Yu turned around impatiently and asked.

Xia Yueshan's face showed a rare expression of embarrassment. He fumbled in his pocket and took out another, larger key and put it in front of Lin Yu. He scratched his face and said somewhat awkwardly, "That... This is actually the key to my house. You can go and make a duplicate."

"This is your house key?" Lin Yu took the key from Xia Yueshan's palm, his eyebrows furrowed. A cold smile appeared on his lips as he asked, "Then what was the key you gave me earlier?"

"That key... I... I took the wrong one!" Xia Yueshan defended himself, his eyes darting around.

Seeing Lin Yu's hand raised again, Xia Yueshan shrank his neck, closed his eyes tightly, and put on a defensive posture, ready to take a beating. But to his surprise, Lin Yu's big hand just gently landed on his head and even gave it a soft rub.

"Well done." Lin Yu said with a gentle smile on his face. "It's necessary to stay alert around strangers who aren't very familiar. Keep up this vigilance in the future."

Xia Yueshan looked at Lin Yu, who seemed a bit different from before. He blinked hard, then nodded vigorously.

"What now?" Lin Yu turned around impatiently and asked.

Xia Yueshan's face showed a rare expression of embarrassment. He fumbled in his pocket and took out another, larger key and put it in front of Lin Yu. He scratched his face and said somewhat awkwardly, "That... This is actually the key to my house. You can go and make a duplicate."
