Old and Selling You Health Products

The winter days passed quickly, and by a little past seven, it was completely dark outside.

Shen Nian lay on his bed and glanced at the system.

It had been half a month with no news from the system, and Shen Nian had started to suspect it was dead.

Yet the main quest was still hanging there, with a simple reward of 50,000 in-game gold coins.

50,000 was no small amount. He'd heard that in some fourth or fifth-tier small cities nowadays, 200,000 could buy an apartment in a residential complex.

Shen Nian was still considering whether to buy a car so soon.

With such a large sum, the money laundering method of fishing and selling fish was no longer viable. He needed to think of a more reasonable, faster way to make money.

The identity of a high school student was restrictive and inconvenient.

Something that made money fast and didn't consume too much time... It seemed the internet direction could work. He didn't need to achieve anything major; he could just make up some event. Later, he could tell his parents he won an award in the event, and the organizers gave him several thousand as prize money, glossing over the details to fool them.

Do some livestreaming or something.

He'd already thought of the content.

【Challenge: High-intensity studying from 6 AM to 2 AM】

A difficulty level no less than The Rock taking on Megatron in a one-on-one fight.

Damn, that's too funny.

He could really try it sometime during winter break. He had to study anyway, so he wouldn't lose anything if it didn't take off. If it did, then everyone would be happy.

But if he really livestreamed that kind of content, he'd probably get roasted pretty badly.

Everyone's trying to reduce stress, and you're out here grinding like crazy, lol.

Clang—

"Hehe, Sister Shen Yue, watching variety shows again?"

"Xiaochun, what brings you here? Come watch together."

Shen Nian's ears perked up, immediately catching Xia Yanchun's voice.

Seems like it was Haki Chun coming to find him today.

Shen Nian shuffled out of his room in slippers and sure enough, saw the girl in pajamas curled up on the sofa, watching TV with Shen Yue.

"What wind blew my precious Chunbao here?" Shen Nian grinned, showing his teeth.

"Oh ho—" Shen Yue raised an eyebrow, glancing at Xia Yanchun, then at her own foolish brother, "‘Chunbao’ already? When did you two get so close?"

"Don't listen to his nonsense, his dog mouth can't spit out anything decent," Xia Yanchun was a bit flustered, secretly glaring at Shen Nian.

What's with this ‘Chunbao’? Daring to call me that in front of Sister Shen Yue, have you lost your mind!

"Uh, what's wrong with calling you Chunbao? Calling you Chunbao is giving you face. I'm only calling you that because my sister's here. If you don't like it, then I'll call you psycho."

"Get lost, go eat sht!"

Shen Nian tattled, "Sis, look, your brother's being insulted. Aren't you gonna slap this psycho a couple times?"

"I think Xiaochun's right," Shen Yue pointed at the fridge, "You go get some yogurt."

"I want some too!"

"..."

Dammit, these two are in cahoots.

Two older sisters bossing around one younger brother together, Shen Nian was almost scared to tears.

He could only obediently go get the yogurt. If he wasn't obedient, he'd be suppressed by both empresses.

With Shen Yue there, Xia Yanchun seemed even bolder in ordering Shen Nian around. After sipping her yogurt, she told Shen Nian to get a cup of hot water. For a moment, it was unclear who the original resident of this house was.

"Unbelievable," Shen Nian had no choice, "Here, your hot water."

"Hehe."

"Hehe my foot, I'll give you a punch and see if you're still hehe-ing."

"Then go ahead and hit me. I'll give you one chance to hit me today. After you hit me, I'll go home. I can even get to sleep early today."

"..."

The detestable Haki Chun is actually taking advantage of my fondness for her to act so arrogantly.

Shen Nian really wanted to get angry now, really. He really needed to control Haki Chun.

Unless he lacked the ability, Shen Nian usually got revenge quickly when he had a grudge, after all, he was a petty person.

The reason he wasn't hitting Haki Chun now was because he still needed to stick close to Haki Chun and study together later. After they finished studying and Haki Chun wanted to go home, that's when he'd control Xia Yanchun.

Plan successful!

That's how arch-rivals are, needing eight hundred schemes just to have a chat.

Shamelessly, Shen Nian squeezed in and sat down next to Xia Yanchun. On the small, soft sofa, Shen Yue was half-lying, Xia Yanchun sitting upright, and Shen Nian leaning slightly towards Xia Yanchun's side, making it seem a bit crowded.

With the best neighbor sister on one side and the worst neighbor brother on the other, Xia Yanchun had a very strange feeling.

Suddenly she felt like a winner in life. If she married Shen Nian in the future, there would be absolutely no mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts, no disputes between families or relatives... When fetching the bride, it would just be a matter of opening the door, turning left, and getting in the car...

Whoa... thinking way too far ahead!

Xia Yanchun originally wanted to slap her own face, but after some thought, decided to give Shen Nian a slap instead.

Shen Nian: ?

Seriously, sis, what did I do just by sitting next to you? Is this my house or yours?

"Why did you hit me?"

"My hand was itchy."

"??"

When I sprout question marks, it's not that I have a problem, but I think you have a problem.

Hitting someone for no reason + ordering people around + acting superior... folks, I think I'm being bullied.

"My hand is itchy too. Can I slap you?"

“Go ahead, I just want to go home and sleep anyway.”

"Dammit, feeling smug because you have backing, huh?"

Xia Yanchun snorted triumphantly.

"You little brats, stop chirping and chattering, I can barely hear the TV," Shen Yue said disdainfully.

"Sitting with you guys is nothing but getting picked on. I'm not watching anymore," Shen Nian said gloomily, getting up and going back to his room, slamming the door shut with a thud.

Xia Yanchun blinked, acting completely indifferent, and watched variety shows with Shen Yue until past nine.

Without evening self-study, nights became very spacious. She could watch TV with Sister Shen Yue for a long time, then go to Shen Nian's room afterward. If she slept at midnight, she could still spend a full three hours with Shen Nian.

"I'm going to check on Shen Nian."

Xia Yanchun smoothed her hair, her fair feet slipping into slippers, gently knocked on Shen Nian's door, and went in without waiting for permission.

Shen Yue glanced towards Shen Nian's room, couldn't be bothered to comment.

These two little brats were probably going to mess around together. Otherwise, if they had serious business to discuss this late, they would have said it outright, not closed the door.

She'd seen it since National Day. What decent person goes to the neighbor boy's house to play late at night? Clearly a pair of ambiguous young lovers.

Hah, these youngsters sure know how to have fun.

Shen Yue smiled.

She smiled, then felt a bit like crying.

Really going to be a leftover woman now (sad)

Darn it, in the future, I'll tell my little brother and the neighbor girl Xiaochun to have an extra kid for me to play with. I'll play with it until it cries, then give it back.

In the room, Shen Nian was half-leaning against the headboard, playing a game on his phone held sideways. When Xia Yanchun opened the door and came in, he couldn't even be bothered to give her a glance.

She bullied him like that, and he was still supposed to offer a warm face to her cold rear end?

He was angry. It would take a coaxing from a 160cm tall Chunbao with shoulder-length hair who likes to tie it in a small ponytail, who's cute, fair, clean, fragrant and soft, and smells like strawberry cake and vanilla pudding to make it better.

"What are you playing?" Xia Yanchun stood beside him and peeked over.

"Can't you see for yourself?"

"Is this Sanguosha?"

"Yeah."

"I heard this game is really annoying. I've seen online, people blame a lot of bad things on the Sanguosha officials."

"... When you're old, I'll sell you health supplements. Sanguosha is really fun."

"I didn't know, that's just what everyone online says."

Xia Yanchun knew he was pretending to be aloof and was too lazy to expose him. She directly sat down on the chair to see how long he could hold out.

On the desk were eraser shavings that hadn't been cleaned up. Shen Nian remained silent, so Xia Yanchun used a tissue to carefully gather them for him, wrapped them up, and threw them in the trash.

There was also a blue hair tie on the pen holder.

Xia Yanchun pinched it between her fingers, examined it quietly for a moment, and gave it a sniff. No strange smell.

Hmph, had Shen Nian already liked her when he asked her for this?

To actually have feelings for the older sister he grew up with—how utterly perverted!

"What are you looking around for? Come watch the online lesson," Shen Nian finally spoke first, shifting inward on the bed to make room for her.

"Not angry anymore?"

"..."

He really was being handled by this tricky Yanchun this time. Shen Nian felt flustered, unsure what to say, and decided to play dumb instead.

The corners of Xia Yanchun's eyes curved into a smile. She sat on the edge of the bed, tucking both her feet up and slipping into the warmth of the blanket Shen Nian had already heated. Her icy feet brushed directly against his.

She took Shen Nian's hand, cradled it against her chest, stretched open the sapphire-like hair tie with her fingers, and looped it around Shen Nian's large hand, fastening it onto his wrist.

"Wear this tonight. You're not allowed to take it off before you go out tomorrow."

"Wow, marking your territory, huh?"

"So what?"

A younger brother belongs to his older sister anyway.
