CHAPTER 378: CHAPTER 378: THE ALOOF COUSIN AND THE SWEET LITTLE BEAR

Old Sir Jin isn’t here, and it’s unclear whether he really went to bed this early, or if he simply didn’t want to see Tuanzi.

After all, if he saw Tuanzi before going to sleep, he might be too upset to sleep.

Aunt Su Ming is just like Tuanzi imagined: a big beauty with a great figure, and her personality is particularly straightforward. However, she’s been working overtime for several days, so she’s quite tired now and just said a quick hello to Tuanzi before heading back to her room to rest.

The Jin Family’s house has three bedrooms and two living rooms. When Tuanzi came to stay, Jin Chunting gave up his own room and went to stay next door with Grandpa.

Tuanzi reluctantly saw him off, holding onto the door frame and giving earnest instructions, as if she were the adult and Jin Chunting the child.

Jin Chunting chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, it won’t be like before. Grandpa isn’t that bored to be waiting at this hour to lecture me."

Tuanzi puffed her cheeks, "Don’t underestimate a stubborn person’s persistence. If he scolds you, just call me!"

Patting her chest, Tuanzi promised, "Miaomiao is at your service anytime!"

Jin Chunchao stood by his own door, glancing over here.

He was quite concerned about how his brother and grandpa would get along.

In his memories, Grandpa was really unlikable. And his brother, as the first grandson, was brought up by Grandpa, which actually resulted in quite a bit of grievances for him. Meanwhile, their father always tended to side with Grandpa.

Young Jin Chunchao didn’t quite understand, feeling both aggrieved for his brother and wanting to escape this environment, also hoping his brother would leave.

He successfully left and settled in Yun City, only coming back a few times a year. Yet, his older brother, despite his capabilities, still constantly suffered Grandpa’s temper.

They had previously agreed that he would live next door, but their parents seemed hesitant to speak up, and when his older brother returned, it indeed turned out that his brother went to live next door.

Jin Chunchao was used to being silent, but he couldn’t help but wonder, do their parents not let him live next door because they’re afraid his attitude will be too poor?

After all, a grandson with a cold face, not speaking, is enough to upset an elderly person.

When he was a child, he didn’t know what to do, just instinctively kept a stern face, and over time, it became like this.

"Chunchao brother, what are you doing standing here? Aren’t you going in?"

As he came back to his senses, the door had already closed, and Tuanzi had wandered over to him, looking up with her little head, curiously staring at him.

Her big, clear black eyes reflected a face that was both cold and slightly annoyed.

Jin Chunchao turned his face slightly, a little uneasy.

"Oh oh, Miaomiao understands now."

Tuanzi wore a mischievous expression, "Have you not come back for too long, and you’re not used to it?"

Before Jin Chunchao could speak, Tuanzi glanced at his room and found the space was mostly taken up by bookshelves and a desk.

Looking at Jin Chunchao again, with his long legs, she changed her mind.

"Or do you think the space for sleeping and walking is too small?"

She generously patted her chest, "Miaomiao is a child and can sleep here; you are an adult and can have the big room. Miaomiao gives the room to you now."

Jin Chunchao had never heard such words.

"No need."

He turned to enter the room, but his hand was caught by a pair of small hands.

Before he could react, Tuanzi forcefully dragged him to Jin Chunting’s room.

"Alright then, you’re sleeping here tonight."

Jin Chunchao struggled to walk out.

"You sleep here."

"Don’t be polite with Miaomiao."

Tuanzi simply used her inner strength to ’gently’ push him into the room and quickly shut the door, while she slipped into Jin Chunchao’s room, locking the door behind her, and happily flopped onto the bed.

"It looks small, but it’s actually quite big."

Tuanzi concluded after careful observation, "But for Chunchao brother, it must still be small. He’s just being awkward, unwilling to say so."

She inserted herself into the setting, occasionally returning home to find her room turned into a study, everyone coming and going, especially as a dentist with likely a bit of a neat freak tendency, it’s normal to be unhappy.

"Miaomiao is truly understanding!"

After complimenting herself, Tuanzi happily rolled over on the bed.

Seeing her so happy, the system hesitated to speak but ultimately said nothing.

Inside Jin Chunting’s room.

Jin Chunchao looked at the bedspread pattern and fell into a long silence.

The bedspread was covered with adorable little bears holding honey jars.

The bears were truly endearing and smiling sweetly.

This was clearly something his mom had specially prepared for his cousin.

Jin Chunchao closed his eyes, reopened them, and looked at the sweet little bears again. Unable to bear it, he turned around and exited the room.

He politely knocked on the door, but no one responded.

"So, I’ll just come in directly?"

No matter what, he didn’t want to sleep in a room with sweet little bears.

However, twisting the doorknob, it wouldn’t turn.

Cousin had locked it.

The handsome, upright dentist was silent, silent for a long time.

In his twenty-five years of life, he had never encountered such a thing.

Outside the door, the cool dentist remained silent; inside, a certain little heroine put her ear against the door, eavesdropping on the movements outside.

Both sides were locked in a tacit stalemate.

Jin Jing came out of his room, intending to go to the kitchen for a drink, noticed his younger son standing expressionlessly at his door, and found it strange, "Aren’t you going to rest?"

Jin Chunchao opened his mouth but didn’t know how to explain.

"Wonder how Miaomiao slept."

Jin Jing walked to his older son’s room, noticing the door was open. Finding it odd, he peeked through the crack in the door and saw that the sweet little bear bed was empty, the bedding untouched.

Blinking, Jin Jing realized.

"Miaomiao’s in your room?"

Jin Chunchao nodded, his dark eyes gazing at Jin Jing, attempting to silently urge his father to call his cousin out.

"Well, you two have a great relationship!"

Jin Jing’s tone was somewhat sour, "How many times have you met?"

The person feeling sour no longer wanted water and went back to his room.

Jin Chunchao: "..." Is that the point?

He couldn’t comprehend his father’s logic, but with his cousin refusing to open the door, he had no solution. After thinking it over, he could only seek help from his older brother.

[Jin Chunting: Well, you two seem to get along well]

For some reason, he also detected a trace of sourness.

He couldn’t understand his brother’s logic either.

Jin Chunchao was at his wit’s end, so he returned to the room with sweet little bears, mentally prepared before lifting the covers and laying down.

The next morning.

Tuanzi happily got out of bed, changed clothes, washed up, and wandered around as if her aunt’s house was her own. After wandering for a while, she bit into a pancake made by her aunt and went to knock on the door next door.

"Chunting, get up! Grandpa, get up! Let’s all go practice Tai Chi Boxing!"

Old Sir Jin, who had intended to leave early but ran into his granddaughter: "..."

After finishing Tai Chi Boxing, it was half an hour later.

Tuanzi returned with Grandpa to officially have breakfast.

Seeing Jin Chunchao already sitting at the dining table, she happily went over to greet him.

"Chunchao brother, how did you sleep last night? With the big bed and the big room, didn’t you sleep especially well?"

Jin Chunchao’s movement as he poured soy milk paused. He glanced at his cousin, finding her little white, tender face filled with happiness. It was clear that her actions last night and her mood today were genuinely sincere, not intended to tease him.
