My family updates weekly.

Chapter 6 Home is still the same home

Time flew by and it was evening.

Perhaps the family bucket contains too many calories…

Or perhaps they secretly ate some snacks along the way.

Since returning, Jiang Ning hasn't complained about being hungry again.

She stayed curled up on the sofa watching cartoons.

Jiang Yu couldn't be bothered with her.

I'll have to send her away sooner or later anyway.

It's none of his business whether he's urging others to do their homework or study.

Through his chat history with Teacher Wang on his phone, he already knew that Jiang Ning was simply not cut out for studying.

Getting ahead through studying is pure fantasy.

Maybe mukbang (eating broadcasts) will become popular in the future.

To be honest, this little kid is really good-looking.

Who knows, maybe the food vlogging category based on looks can help you collect all the Cullinan fragments?

After spending less than a day together...

Jiang Yu realized that he had oversimplified the problem.

He thought that having a younger sister would just mean more money.

But he didn't expect...

My lifestyle has been completely overturned.

First of all, you have to close the door when you go to the toilet.

Also, check the toilets.

When he lives alone, he only puts the toilet seat down when he poops.

This is the basic operation for men living alone.

But that's not possible now.

Before urinating, you should also check if the toilet seat is raised.

Secondly, he could no longer walk around the house naked.

Although he hadn't had this habit before.

But sometimes after showering, I'm too lazy to get dressed, so I just go out shirtless and wearing only my underwear, and it's not a big deal.

Not anymore.

Several brightly colored women's underwear have also appeared on the clothes rack on the balcony.

Blue and white stripes, strawberry bear, purple and pink hearts, a bunny eating a carrot, Peppa Pig…

All of them feature cartoon designs, which are very childish.

Kids these days mature so late.

Jiang Yu clearly remembered that when he was in junior high school, the underwear worn by the girls in his class was not this childish.

His deskmate, Fu Meiling, was already wearing thongs when she was 12 years old.

Then, smoking is also a problem.

Jiang Yu wasn't a heavy smoker, but he still smoked at least four or five cigarettes a day.

He used to smoke in the living room.

After you finish smoking, you can just throw the cigarette butt into a mineral water bottle; it's very convenient.

Not anymore.

He had just pressed the lighter button when Jiang Ning ran out and yelled at him to quit smoking.

In addition, secondhand smoke affects children's development (although he felt that Jiang Ning didn't need to grow any further except for her height).

He could only smoke in the stairwell or corridor.

Playing games has also been restricted.

In the past, when he played ranked matches and his teammates let him down, he would curse a few times, hurling insults at them.

Those who bring up Feng and Fu can do it off the cuff.

Not anymore.

There is a 12-year-old sister in my family…

He was too embarrassed to use foul language in front of a girl.

Furthermore, he can no longer play cards as he pleases.

Jiang Yu has a habit of playing cards every night before going to bed.

Things like The Venetian, Grand Lisboa, and Kaiyuan Casino.

It's only natural to feel restless if you can't sleep without playing a game.

But having a younger sister makes things awkward.

He can no longer play cards as freely as he used to.

Now we can only verify the license plate.

Besides the above, there are many other trivial troubles.

In short, the home is still the same home.

But because of the addition of one more person, things are completely different now.

This "difference" made Jiang Yu feel both unfamiliar and...

I can't explain it.

I wouldn't say I hate it, but I wouldn't say I like it either.

Before going to bed, Jiang Yu went to the toilet to wash up.

Jiang Ning was brushing her teeth diligently, wearing a white nightgown.

The electric dental appliance was buzzing, and my mouth was covered in white foam.

She saw Jiang Yu in the mirror and mumbled something indistinctly.

"What did you say?" Jiang Yu didn't hear clearly.

Jiang Ning spat out the foam in her mouth and repeated it.

"Hey bro, go to sleep early, and remember to get up early tomorrow to take me to school, okay?"

"Shall I take you to school?"

"Yes, you take me to school every Monday..."

Jiang Yu suddenly remembered the contents of his phone's memo: "Xiao Ning is on duty on Monday, take her to school early."

He quickly slapped his forehead, feigning sudden realization.

"Oh right, it's your turn to be on duty tomorrow, Monday. I thought today was Saturday..."

"Forehead…"

"You should go to sleep early too. I'll take you to bed tomorrow morning."

"Okay, goodnight, bro!"

"Good night."

Jiang Ning pushed open the door to her room and went inside.

Then, with a "click," the door was locked from the inside.

Jiang Yu looked at the pink door and sighed deeply.

So annoying...

I have to get up early tomorrow to take her to school.

Thankfully, there was a memo.

Otherwise, he would have had no idea that she was on duty every Monday.

……

The next room.

After Jiang Ning locked the door, the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

She leaned against the door and stood quietly for a while.

Then I walked to the desk, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

She turned on the desk lamp and took a diary out of the drawer.

Open the diary…

Every page was densely covered with writing.

Some of the pages have curled-up corners, indicating that they are quite old.

She turned to a new page, picked up her pen, and began to take notes.

The pen nib scratched across the paper…

The sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet room.

"September 13, Sunday, Weather: Sunny, Temperature: Very hot."

"Today is terrible, my brother had another attack like he did five years ago."

"I don't want my brother to be arrested again, so I have to play along. Aunt Zhang and the others are watching, so I have to act very well and not let anyone find out that something is wrong with my brother."

"My brother said he was just joking, but I know he wasn't. He's just forgotten me and the past."

"Reason 1: My brother taught me about black water, believers, and body parts, but he doesn't remember them now."

"Reason 2: My brother has been hibernating recently, not eating or drinking anything, but today he ate a chicken wing, drank cola, and ate fried rice noodles from Shaxian. This is very strange."

Reason 3: My brother's body was especially cold during hibernation, but his hands were very warm today.

Reason 4: My brother said he'd find a job to support me...

As Jiang Ning wrote this, a helpless smile appeared on her face.

It was as if something outrageous had happened.

She shook her head and continued writing.

"My brother never supports me through work."

"Whenever money is needed, my brother uses his abilities."

"He will turn all the things belonging to those rich people into ours."

"But now he's forgotten his skills and is looking for a job."

"My brother had his last attack and it took him a year to recover. I don't know how long it will take this time."

"Before his brother regained his memory, he could only support his family by working, just like ordinary people."

"But they won't give my brother any work."

"They must be jealous that my brother is better than them. They're so mean!"

"Something terrible happened this afternoon..."

"I saw my brother searching on his phone for how to send me away (⊙ˍ⊙)"

"He looked at it for a long time and even deleted his browsing history, but he didn't know I saw it all."

"I'm so sad (T_T)"

"I've come to terms with it (^_^)"

"It's normal for my brother to want to throw me away since he doesn't remember me. I don't blame him (^_^)"

"But I don't want to be thrown away (T_T)"

"I was already abandoned once, but my brother saved me and has stayed with me ever since."

"If my brother regains his memory and finds out that he sent me away when he had an episode, he will be very sad."

"So, I'm wondering if I should use my abilities to help my brother?"

"As long as we help him find a job, that's fine."

"If he finds a job and earns money, he won't want to abandon me."

Jiang Ning's face showed a conflicted expression.

She bit her lip, as if making a difficult decision.

"But my brother told me..."

"No matter what happens, you must not use my abilities."

He said my abilities were different from his, and that using them would have serious consequences.

"But he didn't say what the consequences would be, he just said, 'You'll know when you grow up.'"

"Sigh, adults always like to say things like that."

I hate riddle tellers the most!

"But if I don't help, my brother is going to throw me away."

"What should I do?"

"Ever since my brother set fire to the orphanage and led everyone to escape, I haven't used my abilities again, not even once..."

"Using it only once in a while should be fine, right?"

"Once I help my brother find a job, I won't need one anymore. This will be the last time!"

"My brother won't blame me after he regains his memories... will he?"

"It shouldn't be... right?"

"Definitely not!"

"He is the best brother in the world. Even if he is angry, he will forgive me if I cry."

"Okay, it's settled then!"

Goodnight, world (◕ᴗ◕)
