The Goddess is a Little Pitiful, I Invested in Her!

“Qingxue, eat more!”

At the dinner table in the Qi family, Qi’s mother, as expected, was serving food to Lian Qingxue and completely ignoring her own son.

Qi Yun was used to it.

“I’m telling you, when you’re at our house, it’s just like being at your own home, so don’t be restrained at all,” Qi’s mother chattered, afraid that Lian Qingxue would feel uncomfortable.

After all, it was her first time staying overnight with the Qi family.

……

Qi’s mother also suggested Lian Qingxue to stay with the Qi family.

Qi Yun and Lian Qingxue were assigned to different exam venues during the college entrance exam.

Qi Yun was at Dabenying High School, which was not a problem. However, Lian Qingxue was at another school far from the orphanage.

It would be troublesome and time-consuming to travel back and forth by car. They had to wake up early in the morning to get to the exam venue.

Qi’s mother made the decision right away. She suggested that Lian Qingxue stay at their house.

Their house was closer to that school, and transportation was more convenient. If Qi Yun had made this suggestion, Lian Qingxue might have refused. But it was hard for her to refuse Qi’s mother.

Especially when the director of the orphanage, Director Li, agreed as well.

After all, the orphanage had many children, and it could get noisy at times. It wouldn’t be a problem during normal times, but it would be troublesome if it disturbed Lian Qingxue during such a critical moment as the college entrance exam.

So Lian Qingxue would be living with the Qi family during the two days of the pre-exam holiday and the two days of the college entrance exam.

Although the Qi family’s house was old and not very big, miraculously, there were three bedrooms.

The small room next to Qi Yun’s room was usually unoccupied and had a bookshelf serving as a study. But when guests came, the sofa inside would be opened, a futon would be laid out, and it would turn into a guest room.

That’s where Lian Qingxue stayed.

Therefore, Qi Yun was certain that Qi’s mother must be his biological mother!

She was so caring!

They were even sleeping next to each other. Didn’t that mean they were sharing a bed?

……

“Come! Auntie was so happy when she heard you were coming. I’ve washed these sheets and beddings in advance, and they’ve been sun-dried for two days. They’re very comfortable!”

Qi’s mother pulled Lian Qingxue into the studyroom, pointing at the sofa bed.

“Thank you, Auntie,” Lian Qingxue said obediently.

“You don’t need to thank me in your own home. When you’re here, it’s your own home! Don’t feel uncomfortable with Auntie here. Qi Yun, where are you? Help Qingxue tidy up!”

Qi Yun came running over.

He looked at Lian Qingxue’s luggage, which wasn’t much. It was a small bag that seemed to contain only a few clothes. The clothes were light because it was summer during the college entrance exam, and a small bag was enough for a few days’ worth of outfits.

Seeing Qi Yun being called over, Lian Qingxue quickly tightened her grip on the bag in her hand.

“No need for you to tidy up!” She saw Qi Yun reaching out to her and said anxiously.

There were many clothes inside that Qi Yun shouldn’t see!

How could I show them to Qi Yun?

Seeing Lian Qingxue’s reaction, Qi Yun immediately understood.

“I bought them all. Who hasn’t seen them before…”

Seeing Lian Qingxue’s widened eyes, Qi Yun stopped talking. Then, Qi Yun was kicked out.

……

Soon, Qi Yun discovered a miserable situation.

Lian Qingxue living in his house made it even harder to get close to her than when she used to come to study!

After all, before, Lian Qingxue was always in Qi Yun’s room. Once the door closed, she had noway to escape.

But now, Lian Qingxue had her own room!

With Qi’s mother at home, there was simply no opportunity!

During lunchtime, Lian Qingxue claimed she wanted to nap in her room.

But Qi Yun knew that Lian Qingxue never had a habit of napping!

She just wouldn’t give him a chance!

“Qingxue! I need to talk to you!”

Qi Yun knocked on Lian Qingxue’s room door, sounding like the Big Bad Wolf knocking on Little Red Riding Hood’s door. Lian Qingxue refused to open the door.

“Qi Yun! What are you doing? Don’t disturb Qingxue’s rest!” Qi’s mother’s voice roared from inside the room.

Qi Yun had no choice but to turn and walk towards his own room.

Halfway there, Lian Qingxue’s door creaked open.

Lian Qingxue poked her head out, grinning at Qi Yun.

Seeing her, Qi Yun’s expression turned angry, making Lian Qingxue more smug.

She even stuck her tongue out at him.

Obviously, someone was supporting her, giving her confidence.

Who could tolerate this?

Qi Yun rushed towards Lian Qingxue.

“Bang!”

The door closed.

“Qi Yun! Why are you making a fuss about in the middle of the day!”

Qi’s mother, who genuinely wanted to take a nap, exploded…

……

At night, Qi Yun waited and waited until midnight finally arrived. Based on his understanding, his parents should be asleep by this time.

He quietly got up, sneakily tiptoed, and approached Lian Qingxue’s room door.

He gently turned the doorknob.

Click!

The door didn’t close!

Qi Yun looked at the bed and saw a figure lying under the blanket, seemingly asleep.

He walked over and looked closer, immediately realizing something was wrong.

That silly Lian Qingxue, not even a sound of breathing! Pretending to be asleep!

He sat on the edge of the bed and gently placed his hand on Lian Qingxue.

Lian Qingxue’s body immediately stiffened.

“You left the door open on purpose, didn’t you?”

“No!” Lian Qingxue retorted.

“Then why didn’t you let me in during the day?”

“Auntie was at home. What would she think of me if I let you in so casually?”

Lian Qingxue mumbled.

“What would she think of you? She would think you’re her daughter-in-law!”

Qi Yun looked at her cautious appearance, hugged her, and held her in his arms.

“No, I can’t. I can’t act so casually in front of Auntie… What if she doesn’t like me anymore?” Lian Qingxue stubbornly resisted.

“Why? Are you afraid my mom is too traditional?”

“…It’s not that, but what if Auntie minds and doesn’t like me anymore…”

Qi Yun didn’t expect Lian Qingxue’s little mind to be filled with so many strange things.

“So when my mom is at home, you won’t let me in?”

“I… I left the door open for you, didn’t I?”

……

In Qi’s mother’s room, she turned over in bed.

“The young couple can’t be separated even for a moment…”

As if she couldn’t hear Qi Yun opening the door!

But she could pretend not to hear!

That’s called motherly love!

……

The next morning, Qi’s mother’s loud voice woke Qi Yun up.

“Get up! Everyone, get up!”

Qi Yun looked at the clock, it was 6:30 am!

Why did he feel like his mom was more anxious than him about the exam!
