Chapter 462: You’re A Boy Too; Can I Show You?

Half a month later, Yin Shuiling had stopped going home with him from school. Because the girl was interested in going to school for the first grade, she had asked her parents to get her a tutor. Every day, when he came home from school, she would be studying in her study.

On this day, he returned to the Yin family villa. Yin De and Shi Xiaoqing were away. When he went upstairs, he saw that the study was opened by a little fair and dainty hand. The girl’s beautiful and delicate face popped out. “Older Brother…”

She smiled sweetly at him and waved to him. “Older Brother, come here.”

Yin Muchen came up and asked, “Shuiling, what’s the matter?”

“Shh.” The girl shushed him mysteriously and stood on her toes. Her soft little hands tugged the corner of his clothes and dragged him into the study. “Older Brother, come in. I’ll introduce you to someone.”

Yin Muchen entered the study. There was indeed another person in the study — Yin Shuiling’s tutor.

“Older Brother, this is my teacher, An Meng Wen. Sister An, this is my older brother whom I’ve told you about, Yin Muchen.”

An Meng Wen was wearing a demure ladylike dress in lake blue while holding a book in her hand. She stood straight and poised. She looked at Yin Muchen. Her beautiful little face brightened into a smile. “Hello, Yin Muchen. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Yes, I’ve heard a lot about you.

She was a sophomore at the American University of Finance. She was in her double twos this year. One month ago, when she had returned home, she had heard about the math genius who had emerged in T City.

Today, he was wearing a thin black V-neck sweater with jeans — handsome and casual, looking like a gentle scholar. The most attractive thing was that his quiet black eyes were glistening with wisdom.

An Meng Wen knew at a glance that this young man was not simple.

Yin Muchen looked at An Meng Wen. His face did not change much. He gave her a polite and alienated bow and said, “Hello.”

An Meng Wen’s heart was a little depressed. She felt that she was both talented and beautiful, but who knew that she would turn out to be unattractive in this teenager’s eyes. But boys like him were more attractive, right?

Her eyes were bright as she said, “Little Sister Shuiling, our business is settled then. I’ll go.” She put down her book, raised her feet, and walked forward to Yin Muchen. When she got near Yin Muchen, she laughed and said, “Yin Muchen, I’ll wait for you in America.”

An Meng Wen went out.

Yin Shuiling knew nothing at that age, and naturally, she couldn’t understand the excitement, expectation, and shy glow on Sister An’s face. If she had understood, she wouldn’t have handed him the girl herself after throwing all the love letters, flowers, and chocolates away.

She waved her little hand. “Goodbye, Teacher An,” she said sweetly.

When the door of the study was closed, Yin Muchen did not even spare a second glance at An Meng Wen. The little girl simply did not understand. She might not necessarily be unaware of An Meng Wen’s affectionate glow for him, but he did not care.

He knelt on one knee and squatted in front of the girl. He reached out and caressed her silky black hair. “Shuiling, what have you agreed to with that Teacher An? You can’t be naughty, alright?” he asked softly.

“Older Brother, I am not naughty. Let me tell you.” Yin Shuiling came to his ear, a small hand covering her mouth as she whispered to him, “Teacher An is studying in the American Financial University. She is a mixed blood. Her father is a professor of the University of Finance. It is said that there is a certain reputation. Isn’t older Brother going to the United States. Teacher An stays close to you. My parents asked you to learn business management; you can learn that on the surface, but you can learn your favorite finance in secret too.”

Yin Muchen’s eyes flashed with an incredulous light. He grasped the girl’s small, delicate shoulder, opened his mouth, and asked, “Shuiling, how did you find this Teacher An?”

Yin Shuiling blinked her bright, sparkling eyes and giggled. “I know Older Brother wants to learn finance, but you have to listen to my parents, so I want to help you. I made an excuse to say that I wanted to find a tutor, and an overseas student tutor at that. Then, I asked the housekeeper to read those resumes sent to me, then found Teacher An.”

Yin Muchen did not know what to say. Although the eight-year-old girl was simple, she was so smart. All her wisdom was for him.

“Shuiling.” He hugged her around her waist, held her in his arms, and closed his eyes. He wanted to kiss her fragrant hair, but he controlled himself, calling her softly instead. “Shuiling…”

Shuiling, oh Shuiling. In such a difficult time, she was the one guarding him. She was the one who had fulfilled his dream.

“Older Brother,” Yin Shuiling hugged his neck and said in a childish voice, “Older Brother, you have to study hard with Teacher An’s father, Professor An. She said that as long as you have potential, her father will take you into the American financial industry. Older Brother, no matter how difficult it is, you should not give up your dream. When you grow up, and have more abilities, my parents…won’t be able to control you anymore.”

Yin Shuiling pouted her little pink lip when she said the last sentence. Her little face had a sad and gloomy look; even the two rows of long and full lashes drooped down.

Yin Muchen was stunned after he heard that. His arms tightened around her as he embraced her tighter. “Shuiling, sorry…”

It wasn’t that the little girl didn’t know anything — she just didn’t say it.

Yin Shuiling buried her small face in his neck as she hugged him. “Older Brother, shall we agree that no matter what happens in the future, you’ll always be my older brother, okay?”

She had gone to school to look for him that day and accidentally passed by the office. His teacher was angry about his refusal to go to Britain to study finance. The teacher had said: Muchen, oh Muchen, why are you so foolish? The Yin couple just wants to use you to help them manage their company to make money. They want to control you all your life. Do you really want to be their chess piece, killing all your dreams and expectations?

At her age, she seemed to understand some of it.

Do Mom and Dad want to control Older Brother?

Why?

She couldn’t understand it no matter how hard she thought about it. She only knew that her older brother was not happy.

In fact, Older Brother was not happy living with the Yin family at all.

But she wanted her older brother to be happy.

“Shuiling,” Yin Muchen nodded, his eyes full of determination as he was deeply moved. “I promise you, no matter what the future holds, I will always be your older brother.”

Soon after the college entrance examination, Yin Muchen did not disappoint the public expectations. He was first in both arts and sciences, and he won the championship in T City.

At the same time, the day of going abroad was getting closer and closer. Yin Shuiling did not know the sadness of separation. Every day, she would follow Yin Muchen around as she called out “Older Brother, Older Brother,” and Yin Muchen grew fonder of her.

On this day, one day before going abroad, something happened.

Yin Muchen was packing his clothes in his room. Suddenly, he heard the housekeeper’s panicked voice outside the door. “Madam, Master, this is bad. Something serious happened. Young Missus had an accident in kindergarten.”

Yin Muchen’s pupils shrank, and he shot up. He opened the door and ran down. Yin De and Shi Xiaoqing had rushed out of the door and got in the car.

He ran out of the villa and all the way up the street. It was five o’clock in the afternoon. It was the rush hour. There were traffic jams everywhere. He wanted to take a taxi, but after a second thought, he felt that running there would be faster.

He ran to the kindergarten and was stunned by the scene before he could catch his breath.

There was a deep pool of blood on the lawn of the kindergarten. There was a little boy in the pool of blood. The police and forensic doctors had arrived. The area had been cordoned off with cordon tapes strewn everywhere, and the crowd was gathered in groups.

“See, this little boy just fell to his death. He should just attend school properly. Why did he climb upstairs to watch the girl change clothes?”

“Well, you don’t know this, but this little boy fell to his death while trying to peek at our T City Princess Yin Shuiling while she was changing. How old do you think they are, seven or eight years old, and Yin Shuiling had already caused the death of a little boy. Beautiful women are dangerous indeed.”

“That’s right, women who are outrageously pretty attract trouble. This happened when she was only eight years old. When she’s 18 years old, how many men would want to…”

Yin Muchen’s handsome facial features were cold and tense. He ran upstairs through the crowd and into the kindergarten.

A teacher just came out from the dressing room upstairs. She saw Yin Muchen and hurriedly said, “Student Yin, you’ve come at the right time. Your sister has been a little agitated, and her mood is a little unstable now. Comfort her and take her home.”

“Alright, thank you, teacher.” Yin Muchen nodded politely and opened the dressing room door.

Yin Shuiling sat in the corner of the wall, curling up into a small ball as she held herself tight. She was still trembling, and her little face buried in her knees was pale as paper. She had been over-frightened.

Yin Muchen felt his heart break. It felt extremely painful. It hurts so much he couldn’t breathe. He went forward, slowly squatted down, and said, “Shuiling.”

Yin Shuiling trembled violently and froze. After a few seconds, she noticed that it was her older brother’s voice. She looked up and cried out, “Wuu…Older Brother, Older Brother…” She burst into tears and threw herself into his arms.

Yin Muchen held her soft and fragrant body tight. He patted her on the back and comforted her. “Shuiling, it’s alright. Don’t be afraid. Older brother is here. Nobody dares to bully you.”

Yin Shuiling’s delicate little face was covered with tears. Her small, fair, dainty hands firmly gripped his clothes. “Wuu, Older Brother, I wanted to change clothes, but when I turned around, I saw a guy against the window. I was terrified and screamed, and then the guy disappeared from the window… They all said he had fallen to his death. Wuu, Older Brother, someone died…”

“Shuiling, it’s all right. His death has nothing to do with you, and death is not terrible. They have just left here and gone to heaven. Heaven is a wonderful place.”

“Really, Older Brother… Wuu, Older Brother, they said that the boy had wanted to see me change clothes. Older Brother, what’s so interesting about changing clothes? Why does he want to see me?”

Why did he want to see her?

Obviously to see her pretty little face and…body.

She would not understand these words now, and he did not want her to understand. His Shuiling was the purest and most beautiful angel in the world. He would not allow the dirty things in this world stain her.

Yin Muchen carried her horizontally. “Shuiling, there are many bad boys in the world. It’s a bad thing to watch girls change clothes, so you can’t let those boys see you in the future.”

“Oh.” Yin Shuiling buried her little face in her brother’s chest. She had been so afraid just now, but when her older brother arrived, she was not afraid at all. She closed her eyes and nodded her head obediently. “I won’t let them see me like that, but you are a boy too. Can I show you?”

Yin Muchen was stunned, and then pulled up his lips and laughed. “Yes, but you can only show me when I want to see.”
