[R18] Paradox [siblings] – “Paradox [Siblings]” Extra · “Time Has You (4)” [English]

“You don’t know how old your brother is?”

In the milk powder section of the supermarket, Ling Qingyuan turned his head, his peach blossom eyes slightly closed, and looked at Chao Chao in front of him.

Chaochao hid behind Ling Sinan in a familiar manner and revealed his little head: “I said that my brother is the same age as me. It has become like this since I came here. How do I know how old he is now?”

Ling Qingyuan obviously doesn’t believe this nonsense. Where are you here?Come to this city?It becomes this and that?Becoming separated from your parents?

One can only talk and the other can’t even make a draft of his lies. How can they be the same?

He sneered coldly: “I can’t even remember my brother’s affairs. What do I call my sister?”

The two women in front of him, one large and one small, opened their eyes wide at the same time and stared at him.

Ling Qingyuan quickly raised his hands in surrender: “No, sister, I’m not talking about you.”

“No, you can’t say it.” Ling Sinan glanced at him. Of course she knew it wasn’t her – in fact, it’s no wonder that she was right on this matter. After all, after ten years of leaving Ling Qingyuan behind, she still felt guilty to some extent, so the more guilty she was, the more arrogant she was. Otherwise, how could she hide it?

She didn’t want to correct Chao Chao’s childish “delusions”. If Ling Chao didn’t want to say it now, exposing a child one by one was not the best way to get the truth. The child had just experienced the fright of a liar, and maybe subconsciously wanted to protect himself, and she didn’t mind taking on such a temporary “mother” role.

“Still unsteady when walking, not very good at talking, probably less than a year old…” Ling Sinan pressed her index finger to her lips, searching the shelves with her eyes, and put a can of second-stage milk powder into the shopping cart. When she helped take care of her neighbor Aunt Li’s baby, the child was just over a year old, so she was no stranger to this knowledge.

“You can’t do this.” Ling Qingyuan refused to give up behind his back, “She should be cultivated to have a sense of responsibility as a sister.”

“Ling Qingyuan, if you tell me again, I will fall out.”

“…” Ling Qingyuan’s eyes were full of resentment, and he slowly moved to Ling Sinan to show his kindness: “Give me a hug.”

Ling Sinan glanced at He, and their eyes met. The young man felt aggrieved. Compared with his usual vigorous and resolute demeanor, She almost couldn’t hide the smile on her lips.

Ling Sinan carefully handed Twilight into his hands, and asked uneasily, “Can you hold me?”

“Why not? It’s just to hold a baby.” Ling Qingyuan took it, held the baby’s armpits, and held him in his chest with his hands crossed.

This time, the big and small eyes stared together again. Twilight spitted in her mouth and blew the foam into a small bubble. Ling Qingyuan subconsciously tilted his neck back.

Soon the little guy became dissatisfied with the hugging posture and began to kick around with his hands and feet. Ling Qingyuan, who thought it was just “holding a child”, encountered the second setback in his unfavorable life after “riding a bicycle”. He frowned tightly: “You are so strong?”

No matter how he adjusted his posture, he couldn’t stop Twilight from tossing. With a “pop” sound, a bubble burst in front of Ling Qingyuan’s eyes, and water stains stained the tip of his nose.

Ling Sinan and Chao Chao showed no sympathy at all and laughed so hard.

But he didn’t ask for help, but he got into trouble with the matter of “carrying the child.” Ling Sinan couldn’t stand it anymore, so he reached out to hug him again: “Okay, with this skill, what kind of bicycle do you need – I can’t ride a bicycle well anyway.”

“——I can ride.” Ling Qingyuan touched his nose, not forgetting to avenge himself.Riding a bicycle, riding a bicycle… He can carry people, how can he say he didn’t ride well? This is slander.

Ling Sinan handed the shopping cart to him and said, “You can only push the cart.”

When she turned to look for the area where the “baby supplies” were, the young man chuckled, lowered his head to her ear, and whispered in a low voice: “So, sister also feels…”

“Is my ‘pushing’ technique better than my ‘riding’ technique?”

The voice was so close that it was almost endless.

It was so close that she felt that when Ling Qingyuan said this sentence, he bit the tip of her ear and read each word one by one.

So much so that the temperature of his mouth reached her ears breath by breath.

It was so hot that it instantly turned red at the base of my neck.

Ling Sinan shrank his neck, turned his face and looked into he’s eyes.

The two were in a stalemate again for a few seconds. She opened her mouth and couldn’t utter a single word for a long time.

Ling Qingyuan raised his hand and touched her red cheek with his fingertips, but was caught by Twilight next to him.

“Your cart-pushing skills are not very good, but the car drives pretty fast.” Ling Sinan pursed her lips and said, “You have to take care of Chaochao.”

“Ah?” Ling Qingyuan didn’t know why: “What do you mean…”

As soon as he said “Ah”, Ling Sinan ran away without looking back.

“It has a bad influence on children.”

Ling Qingyuan lowered his head and looked at Chao Chao who said this.

Chaochao learned to act like an adult and nodded solemnly: “In the past, every time my father asked my mother to show this expression, my mother would say this – ‘It has a bad influence on the child.'”

Ling Qingyuan lowered his head, sighed, and muttered something.

“Dad, what did you say?”

“It’s nothing.” Ling Qingyuan has basically acquiesced to this title, not to mention that now he calls her brother instead, and she calls Ling Sinan mother, something feels wrong.He put one hand into the pocket of his school trousers, held her with the other, tilted his head to one side inadvertently, and murmured in a low voice: “Light bulb.”

Of course Chaochao didn’t hear the disdain coming from “Dad” and pointed at the car: “Dad, can I sit in the car?”

Ling Qingyuan looked at the shopping cart, “Are you seven years old?”

Chao Chao nodded.

“No.” Ling Qingyuan refused simply and neatly, with a little pride: “You are too big, this car can’t accommodate you.”

“…Oh.” Unexpectedly, the little girl didn’t cry or make a fuss. She seemed to have accepted this fact before and followed him quietly.

Ling Qingyuan felt a little uncomfortable again.

Speaking of which, the little girl was actually very well-behaved. She protected her younger brother well when he was abducted in the morning. After that incident, the only tears she shed when she was at the police station was because she was about to be sent to an orphanage. She followed them into the supermarket and didn’t buy any snacks or toys from beginning to end. She didn’t run all over the supermarket from east to west. She had nothing to do with those naughty children in his impression. She should have received a good upbringing.

They must be a good pair of parents, he thought to himself.

“It’s not impossible.” Ling Qingyuan suddenly said.

Chao Chao raised his head, his clear eyes filled with confusion.

“Put your feet here…well, put your right foot here.” Ling Qingyuan personally instructed Chaochao how to stand on the two rear bars of the shopping cart. This piece itself is one of the load-bearing structures of the shopping cart and can support the weight of a seven-year-old girl. Besides, they didn’t put anything in the shopping cart.However, it was not possible to let go completely. He asked Chaochao to stand on it and hold on to the armrest, while he stood behind Chaochao, holding the left and right handrails of the car as well. Seeing that there were few people in front, he quickly pushed forward.

Ling Sinan was still teasing the baby in his arms when he caught two figures and a car passing by with the sound of “wahahaha” from the corner of his eye.

After a while, her stiff back came back with a “wahaha” sound.

Of course, the cart didn’t move very fast, so it slipped away for a short distance.

There were two mothers chatting next to her, which reached her ears.

“Those two kids are so cute. They are brother and sister, they are so handsome.”

“Oh, my brother also plays with my sister. The older one in my family only knows how to bully the younger ones every day.”

Probably because she happened to see Ling Sinan’s appearance again, the aunt couldn’t help but ask: “Hey, are you two together?”

Ling Sinan said three times: “Impossible, I’m not, I don’t know him.”

Later, she taught the unknown “brother” a lesson.

Ling Qingyuan was reduced to the point where he was pushing a cart and doing hard work behind the wheel.

Because he had not returned home in the afternoon, the boy was wearing a light blue school uniform and straight-pressed suit trousers. He was about 1.8 meters tall and was pushing a shopping cart. Under the milky white light of the refrigerated area, his profile was exquisite and eye-catching.

Of course there was a reason why Ling Qingyuan stopped. There was a new package of yogurt in the refrigerated area, shaped like a rabbit.

He picked it up and looked for the expiration date. Suddenly someone interrupted his thoughts.

It was a girl whom he did not know, and she enthusiastically explained to him which of the two rows of yogurt in front of him tasted better and which was more nutritious.

The problem is that Ling Qingyuan just took a fancy to the new rabbit-shaped packaging – and he didn’t drink it himself.

Ling Qingyuan patiently listened to the girl’s introduction, and finally declined the girl’s invitation to add WeChat.

After the girl walked away, Ling Qingyuan found a little girl standing around the corner and standing with her arms crossed.

Staring at him with questioning eyes.

“What are you doing here?” he asked with raised eyebrows.

“Stalking.”

He smiled, leaning on his knees and bending down: “You still know how to follow? Why are you following?”

“We can’t let dad mess around with women.”

he was stunned, “Who told you this?”

“Mom, mom said she wants me to help her keep an eye on you when she’s not around.”

“Do you know what ‘playing with women’ means?” Ling Qingyuan chuckled.

Chaochao hesitated for a moment: “Does it mean… attracting bees and butterflies?”

“…” Ling Qingyuan was speechless.

Why is this little girl’s idioms a bit off?Not good.

She seems to have understood the key point correctly.

“Mom just told you this?” Ling Qingyuan put the rabbit yogurt into the shopping cart, paused, and then put in one of the good-tasting and nutritious yogurts recommended by the girl just now.

“No, mom said it before.” Chaochao pointed to a bottle of banana drink in the refrigerated area: “That, mom loves to drink it.”

Ling Qingyuan couldn’t tell which mother she was talking about now, and thought for a while: “Do you like to drink too?”

Chao Chao grinned his white teeth and said, “Hey.”

Ling Qingyuan put the banana milk into the shopping cart and explained to her: “You have to believe that I am not a philanderer.”

“Mom said, the main reason is that dad is so handsome. You can’t control how many people like handsome guys.”

Ling Qingyuan’s lips curled up, it was very helpful.

This ghost is so talkative.

Realizing that his psychological defense had collapsed, Ling Qingyuan quickly calmed down, lowered his eyes slowly, flicked her forehead with the knuckles of his long fingers, and teased her: “Speaking of which, even if I am flirting with women, what can you do if you, a little bitch, keep an eye on me?”

Chaochao touched his forehead: “Dad, it’s not good for you to be like this.”

“So what can we do?”

He was quite proud of having the upper hand in a quarrel with a child.

However, Chaochao, who was immersed in a delicious drink one moment and was smiling, grabbed Ling Qingyuan the next moment, lowered his head and sobbed: “Dad, come home with me… Mom and brother are waiting for you…”

Ling Qingyuan froze dumbly and subconsciously glanced at the glances from around him.

“That sister doesn’t like me. I don’t want her to be my mother. Wuwuwu…”

Three or two passers-by, men and women, began to whisper to each other, and the gossip radars on each of their heads were raised.

Ling Qingyuan hurriedly covered her mouth, pushed the shopping cart and fled in a hurry.

“Okay, little ancestor, I was wrong.” After turning the corner, Ling Qingyuan knelt down and looked straight at the little girl who had tears in her eyes again.

Chao Chao stopped crying, blinked emotionally, and soon smiled innocently. Ling Qingyuan finally understood the meaning of “Look what I can do to you, what can you do to me” in her eyes.

… Who did you learn this character from, who is both naive and calculating in the open and secretly?

There was a sudden chuckle from behind.

Ling Sinan held Twilight’s hand and said with emotion: “You have today too.” Of course, Ling Sinan couldn’t let Chao Chao run around alone. He had secretly observed the two people’s interactions for a long time. He had always been convinced by his younger brother, but today he actually felt the pleasure of “revenge.”

Ling Qingyuan stood up and leaned forward without saying a word.

“What are you doing?” Ling Sinan was on guard.

he lowered his head faintly and buried it into the crook of her shoulder. His voice was low, as if he had swallowed all the grievances into his throat, and he called her quietly with a choke in his throat——

“Sister…”

Ling Sinan was stunned.

“She bullied me.”

Probably because she didn’t react for a long time, Ling Qingyuan took the initiative to grab her free hand, put it on his head, and stroked her hair.

“Dad, you are so childish.” Chaochao commented as a little adult beside him.

Since his face was hidden anyway, Ling Qingyuan had no intention of losing face and continued to complain: “Look.”

Ling Sinan looked around at the three “children”, dumbfounded.

What is this all about?

When passing by the promotion area before checking out, Ling Sinan saw an imported snack on sale and hesitated whether to buy it.

Ling Qingyuan didn’t care: “If you want to buy it, just buy it.”

Ling Sinan shook his head: “I have already bought more than two hundred, forget it.”

“One hundred and seventy-eight yuan and twenty-five cents.” Chao Chao said while holding the shopping cart, “It’s not two hundred, mom.”

Ling Qingyuan and Ling Sinan looked at her at the same time, and they exchanged glances. Ling Sinan asked: “How do you know, Chao Chao?”

Chaochao didn’t understand why her mother asked this, and tilted her head: “When mom buys, I check the price, and when dad buys, I also check.” It seems that this kind of thing has become an established habit, and she has always played this role.

“And there’s a discount for buying them together. Mom, if you want to buy this brand…” Chaochao picked up the other two baby products in the basket, “‘this’ and ‘this’ can save another seven and a half yuan, so even if they all add up, it’s less than two hundred.”

“You are very good at arithmetic.” Ling Sinan was a little surprised and couldn’t help but praise her.

“Dad taught me.” Chao Chao pursed his lips, seeming a little unhappy.

Ling Qingyuan asked tentatively: “Does dad force you to study?”

“No, I like mathematics!” When he mentioned the word “mathematics”, Chao Chao’s eyes burst out with light, and then he thought of something and dimmed: “But my father said that I can only do math problems when he is teaching me. I can only read for an hour at most when I go home from school to finish my homework. During the other time, I am not allowed to secretly solve problems.”

Ling Qingyuan and Ling Sinan looked at each other, tapped their temples with their fingers, and asked a series of questions.

“But I have a good memory. Sometimes I will secretly memorize the questions at school and do them in my head when I get home.”

Ling Sinan smiled and touched her head: “Good boy, good boy.”

Ling Qingyuan pushed the shopping cart and whispered: “I heard someone’s jealous voice.”

In the taxi home, Ling Sinan was a little thirsty after feeding Twilight’s complementary food jam packets.

Chaochao quickly took out the bottle of banana milk from the shopping bag and handed it to her, and Ling Sinan also accepted it happily.

At that time, Ling Qingyuan rested his head on the back of his hand and secretly stuffed the half-eaten yogurt back.

After taking a few sips of the banana milk, Ling Sinan stopped for a while and looked at Chao Chao in surprise: “This is delicious, better than what I drank before.”

“That’s your favorite drink.” Chaochao was not surprised.

Ling Sinan nodded: “It is indeed my favorite from now on.”

At that moment, Ling Qingyuan looked at the little girl’s profile, thoughtfully.
